LAY DEAD AT BOTTOM OF POOL.
Water Polo Players Were Ignorant Of
Companions Death.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 2O.-Between forty
and fifty students of Columbia University
swan and played water polo this morning
and tonight in the pool Of the gymnasium
ignorant of the fact that one of their num-
Der had been lying dead at the bottom of
the pool since yesterday afternoon. He was
William Sander, nineteen years of age
second year student.
Sanders brothers called at the university
today at noon to discover why he had not
come home last night, and then his COM
panions remembered having last seen him
swimming in the pool. knowing him to
have been poor swimmer, the thought
that he lay dead there Immediately sug-
gested itself. DR.. Meylan, director of the
gymnasium, found the body in the tank,
which Is ten feet deep.
The first thought suggesting itself to Cor
oner Hamburger was hazing. and he started
an inquiry among the officials of the GYM
nasium and the students to learn if Sander
had been the victim of foul play. He soon
satisfied himself that he had not and an
autopsy established the fact that Sander
had come to his death through a weak heart
and had probably died before submersion
The coroner was amazed that the youth
could have come to his death without any
Of the attendants hearing cry, which must
have preceded his sinking. Attendants are
about the gymnasium and pool at all times
yet none of them heard a shout for help or
saw the youth sink.

campaign funds, which were used freely
In the attempt to send Addicks to the
Senate. He has been through it all and
knows the power of money and the power
of the people to get along without money
in a political fight. Now he Is definitely
arrayed against the of money in cam
paignS.
When Senator Alice reached the end Of
his first term in the Senate he had broken
with Addicks and found himself face to
face with the Duponts, whose wealth eX-
ceeded that of Addicks in the days of the
latter's opulence. The result was the cleo
ton Of one of the Duponts to the United
States Senate and later the defeat of MIR.
Alice in favor of Senator-elect Richardson,
terms The struggle for the election of
Richardson over Alice, who were neigh
bors, was intense. and Alice believed he
had won out until few hours before he
was defeated.
Mr. Alice does not say great deal about
his struggles in the past, but he Is deter
mined to keep in the field as a fighter. He
does not know to what extent he may per-
sonally figure in these contests beyond
pushing along his following in Delaware
politics, but in that respect he is sure he
will be a slayer
Use of Money in Politics.
THE state of Delaware will make its
next fight, which will be the gubernatorial
campaign next year, against the use of
money in politics." said Mr.. Alice.
I'VE will not allow money to be used
in primary fights. Our constitution
protects us in that respect and we
will see that the provisions of the consti-
tuition are carried out. We will have fair
and square elections. Our gubernatorial
election next year will be waged on that
ground, and our governor will be the choice
of the republicans of Delaware without the
use of money at the primary election.
Temporary leaders will not be allowed, on
account of their own wealth, to control the
choice of candidates. The people there say
they have had a dose Of gas and they
don't want the powder monkeys coming
into power now"
How do the republicans Of Delaware
look upon the next national convention for
the presidency" Mr.. Alice was asked.
Delaware for Roosevelt
president Roosevelt would be their
choice, 1 believe, but do not believe Mr..
Roosevelt will allow the use of his name as
a candidate, he replied.
Mr.. Alice speaks in the highest terms of
the personal qualities of Senator-elect
Richardson. whose election involved his
own defeat. He regards Mr.. Richardson
man of the highest character, and is
sure that his action in the Senate will al
ways be Influenced by a determination to
do the right thing.

ALMOST IN DARKNESS
EXPLOSION IN ELECTRIC PLANT
DEMoRALIZED BROADWAY.

to fall on New York's most brilliantly
lighted district tonight almost the darkness

At about 0:3O. o'clock the explosion oc-
CURED, followed by fire in the great light
ing plant, and althoug hthe firemen re-
sponded promptly the water they threw
into the building seemed only to add to the
flames, which were feeding on the insula-
ton of the great mass of wires inside the
building.
Finally connection was made with the
eleven other generators in the building and
the emergency connections. by which other

service. were established.
Stampede Narrowly Averted.
But for half an hour Broadway was
almost in darkness. The great electric
signs burned SO low as to be almost fnvis-
ible lights in hotels went down until they
were almost out, the footlights of half a
dozen theaters were so dim that the actors
were hardly distinguishable to the auditors
and in many places where crowds of people
were gathered stampedes were averted only
by the GOODNESS of those in charge
Scores of little moving picture theaters
were put entirely out of commission and
in Bellevue Hospital the attendants were
busy for many minutes preventing a
panic among the patients.
In half an hour, however. emergency
generators were placed in operation, and
again Broadway was flooded with light,
the theaters proceeded with their pro-
grams and the city was back in It's nor
NAL stride.
The company officials and the police re-
fused to give out any information regard
ing the accident.
1t is impossible to find out If there was
any one injured, but no ambulances were
called. The generator which was de-
stroyed was valued at $4,000.
