DISTRICT MAN
BACKING OLIVER
IN CANAL WORK
Belief That Thomas F.
Ryan IS Financially
Interested in the
Company.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 4.-Judging
by papers of incorporation filed with
the secretary of state here today, it
is believed that the new company
which is 70 back the operations of
Contractor William j. Oliver, of
Knoxville, Tenn, in constructing the
Panama Canal. should President
Roosevelt decide to have the con-
tract awarded 10 him, viii not only
be backed by the present State Su-
perintendent of Public Works Fred
eriek c. Stevens, but also by the
millions of Thomas F. Ryan, of New
York and Washington. This opinion
is derived from the fact that the
chief incorporation is John B. Mac
Donald. who built the New York
subway, and who, with Theodore p.
Shonts, was recently elected a di-
rector of the New York INTERIOR
ough railway.
The name of neither Mr.. Ryan nor
Mr.. Stevens appears in the papers of
incorporation as filed. The COM
pany is obliged 10 carry out "sueh
contracts as are awarded 20 il by
the United States Government" The
directors are John b. Macdonald,
John Pierce. George F. Hartman,
New York; w. J. Oliver, Knoxville,
Tenn; Patrick j. Brennan, Wash
ingtOn; George Pierce, Frankfort,
Ne; Patrick j. Walsh, Davenport.
Iowa, and Robert Russell, Lynch
burg, Va.
Each of the above directors sub
scribes TO $4,000 worth of the capital
stock.

What promises to be mystery

HoHlmes is eentered about report
from Forestville, Nd, whence Arty
Suit, deputy sheriff at that place,
telephoned Inspector Boardman to-
day that a woman's hand had been
found nailed 10 a telegraph pole.
The hand, according to Mr.. Suit.
looked as though it had been
chopped of with an AK. The third
finger was missing. and the author

finger was taken of to get a ring.
wedding or engagement ring.
Authorities Mystihed.
The authorities in Forestville are
unable to .ell whether it is the
hand of a white person or a negro
on account of the decomposition
which has set in.

depths by the profoundness of the

miles the inhabitants are at a loss
TO account for the find.
Whether it is an outrage COM

persons seeking vengeance is left 10
conjecture at present. Detectives
from the Central Office at Washing

The hand was first discovered by At

quainted the authorities with the na-
ture of his grewsome find. A close in
vestigation reveals that it Is probably
the hand OF a man. a number or coarse

be present on the hand of a woman.
There are also traces OF red clay. which

nounced his with6 ANgal from the race.
Everett Colby is :. a. one man who, by

as an anti-Dryder Republican, he proved
really the only man of that classification
Who had been chosen. But he went at
work TO line up others. He appealed TO
the constituencies Of members who stood
ready, If left alone, 10 vote for Dryden;
he carried the contest back again 10 the
people; and he finally organized pha-
lanx Of anti-Dryden legislators who, by
refusing % abide BY the caucus nomi-

tiOn impossible.
For several days Il has been inereas-
ingly apparent that the Senator could
not win. He came back from Trenton

and nervous. He had made AN appoint

was absolutely forbidden by his physi-
clans TO do so. the Senator expected 10

that ne had no chance Of election unless
by this process he should win over the
support of the opposition, announced his
withdrawal from the race.
