WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY "a 1907

THE CONFERENCE of Maryland demo-
cratic leaders called by Senator Whyte
met Yesterday afternoon in Baltimore,
adjourned after session Of moro than
three hours, aud the party is no nearer
now to knowing who will be its candi-
date for governor than it was before. A
sensation was caused by Governor War
field. who, in his speech, after declaring
that he had chad his day." asserted
that if some other men in the party who
had for 80 or even move years been re-
ceiving party honors and welding party
power should recognize that they had
had their day, too, the party would be
better off. Emphatic replies to his re-
marks concerning the condition OF the
party were made by Mr.. John P. Poe,
Senator Isidor Rsyner and Mr.. Joshua
w. Miles, each of whom declared that
what the governor had said was unne-
cessarily depressing to the party people
and not borne out by the facts. 1t is
reireshing, however, to know that Gov.
WarReld at last recognizes the fact that
he has had his day-wbich he certainly
has-but he foClshly labOrs under the
impression that after himself comes the
deluge. 1t is about time that he knows
that The democratic party in Maryland
can yet along better without than it
can with him. He did all he could to
injure the party which made him gov
ernor when he vetoed the suffrage bill
passed by the democratic legislature Of
MARYLAND.

Policemen Charged with COwardIce.

New York, July 24,-Fsilure of the
police to capture Frank Werner yester-
day after chasing him into the SpaldiDg
building following the murder of Esther
@. Norling, will probably result in sew
eral officers being charged with COW
ardice. Had any effort been made to
apprehend Warner he could never have
made his second attack on John @. Viii.
SOD, but he eluded scores of policemen
and, slipping out back way, reached
Wilson's office. Warner is dying at
Bellevue, and there is little likelihood he
will ever regain consciousness after his
rough handling by Jacob Robe, the truck

Mimic Mnr-

Fort Wright, Fishers Island, N. Y,
July 24.-Some important problems are
being solved in the mimic war being
conducted at the forts at the entrance OF
the sound by the regulars and the
Connecticut militismen. One of the
most important is whether it would
be possible for war vessels to get by
the forts and into the sound, thus
opening a way TO New York harbor.
The operations 80 far indicate that the
sound would not be impregnable to an
enemy by reason of the present forth
6catious. Much surprise was occasion.
ed today when it WAS announced by the
Judges of Mondays attack on Fort
Mansfield that the guns in the fOrtifica-
lions there we're put out OF business
theoretically by the attacking vessels.
The operations thus far, it is believed,
have demonstrated that it will be pos
sibe for feet to get around Fort Mans
field without great damage. The report
of the msneuvers will therefore have an
important bearing in future arrange
meuis for guarding the sound from an
enemy.

Defendant in elydsnbursh MURDER
Case Now Ready for Trial.
Des Moines. June 13.-Altho badly
crippled as the result Of severe at
tack Of rheumatism which kept him IN
bed for several days, II. 3. Dickinson
was able to hobble to the Office Or
Walter McHenry yesterday to assist IN
planning his defense when the nurdeH
trial begins Monday morning.
The attorneys for the defense are.
reticent as to what Dickinson's de-
tense will be, but Dickinson himselh
said that 1t would be altogether dis
ferent from what has been supposed.
.This trial will show for one thing
that thousand or so OF the stories
that have been told about me were abb,
solutely false" said Dickinson. The
evidence we shall show in my behalf
will disclose condition altogether diff
ferent from the impression that has
been given out. was never guilty OF
this or any other crime in my ac-
quaintance with Irene Blydenbufgn,
and this will be amply sustained BY
the evidence at the trial"
The approaching trial has given rise
to the rumor which was circulated IN
January that the attorneys for Gadd
and Dickinson will attack the indict-
ment on the ground that the grand
jury was not legal one. J. 3. Sulli-
van, one Of the attorneys for the de-
fense, inferred at that time that such
would be the first step in the proceed
ings!i A motion to set aside the jur1t
panel similar to that filed in the West
case is not unexpected.
