DEADLOCK MAY LOSE STATE
Adherents VIII Not Listen to Re-
publican Committeeman.
Talk of Adjournment Until FAN,
Hoping That Something Might
Develop in Campaign.

Providence, r. l.. March 16-That the
general assembly viii complete its busi-
ness and adjourn at the close of the ses-
sion which has now only sixteen days TO
go, is the belief generally expressed in
political circles here tonight The only
possible way out of the deadlock. accord
ing to discerning politicians, is for the
party leaders to convene the Republican
State central committee. have shat body
determine who shall be the Republican
candidate, and then force the assembly
men TO line up for the man the committee
selects.
The feasibility which this plan might
have presented some weeks ago has lost
its SAVIOR. however, with the continuance
OF the struggle and the resulting growth
in the determination of both the Wet
more and Colt adherents to stand by their
colors until the end.
The wise heads in the party are con-
vinced that it is now too late to try any
thing of this sort, as they believe that
the members of the legislature have now
got TO the point where even the State
central committee cannot control them
ON the question of the Senatorship, and
that an attempt 10 do so would only
have the effect of parading the impo-
tency of the party managers before the
public gaze.
There has been talk of a post-election
session. and there has also been sug-
gcsted an adjournment to some date tn
the fail previous to the general election.

that time, in the hope that during the
summer and the ante-campaign season
something will develop that Will make
the settlement of the question possible.

ured in the abduction Of the boy and hid
den him in this city. Every agency Of
the police department has been set to
work harder than ever. and a squad of
Donaghy's men have begun a systematic
search.
The information is said to have come
from Joseph Pinebird. an Indian. who
said he talked with two Mexicans and
two Indians who had with them a boy
answering the description of the Marvin
child tt is said they declared they were
paid by a white man 9t "A place below
Chester to take charge of the boy. Pine
bird. who is said 10 live, in the neighbor-
hood of Tenth and Pine streets, knows the
Mexicans and Indians well He was
formerly connected with a wild West"
show, where he became acquainted with
the men.
The Indians. according to PinebiTd, were
considered very quiet, but the Two MeXi-
cans are of bad reputation. Pinebird said
he was walking along Ninth street last
Wednesday when he met the Indians and
the MeXicans. They questioned him as to
where he was living and called on him
the following night accompanied by a boy.
They promised 10 take care OF Pinebird
if he would keep the boy in his house for
week, but he became suspicious.
On the following day Pinebird suspected
that the boy might have been Horace

the act was wrong. IN the present cir
eunstances that is going TO be tough
problem for the jury.
Prosecutions strongest witness.
Undoubtedly the strongest witness On
this point that the prosecution has been
able TO produce is James Clineh Smith,
brother of Mrs. Stanford White. His tes-
timony was well worth the hard fight
that Jerome had TO put UP in order TO
persuade Justice Fitzgerald to admit it,
for a jury that has been vexed and be
fuddied by contradictory expert testi-
mony, as this one has been, is likely to
give a good deal of weight TO plain,
everyday statements Of manner and con-
versation upon which a layman may base
a common sense conclusion.
Mr. Smith, who was on the roof OF
Madison Square Garden when the shoot
ing took place had a long talk with Harry
Thaw only a few minutes before the lat
ter did the killing. Jerome viii certainly
argue that the conversation he described
indicated very strongly that Thaw was
at that time ia perfect control of his
senses. He spoke about various stocks
and their values, told of projected trip
abroad, and how he intended to make Il,
criticised the play that was being per
formed, and discussed a variety of topics
in a manner that the prosecution win
contend is extremely difficult to recon
cile with any theory that he was at that
time the sort of man who is 10 be excused
for a homicide. Such at least appears 20
be the face value of Smiths testimony.
AS nearly as 1t can be reduced to terms
appears TO be sort of tropical tempes;
Of the brain. 1t arises with the speed OF
thought, sweeps everything before it in
a single breath. and subsidies almost as
quickly as it arose. The idea that the de-
fense advances is that the sight of Stan
ford White sitting there on the roof of
the Madison Square Garden, melted just
such trepical tempest in the brain OF
Harry Thaw.

Principal Hotels Are Already Pre-

Special to The Washington Herald.
Atlantic City. March 16.-With the
irst real breath of spring the eusto-
mary migration to Atlantic City has
begun. and every day train loads of
Washingtonians whirl away to the ia
nous New Jersey resort to spend any
where from a week TO the full season,
roaming the great Boardwalk and alb
sOrbing as much of the salty sea
breezes as possible. The hotels of At
lantic City that have not been open all
winter are rapidly getting in line for
the reception of the throng of spring
visitors. Already hundreds of hotels
are in readiness to receive their guests.
and the myriad of small hotels and
boarding houses that line the avenues
running at right angles with the
Boardwalk are opening by the score
each day.
Six of the best hotels on Virginia
avenue, one of the most favored streets
in the city, have thrown open their
doors and announced themselves ready
fer visitors. These houses are the Witt
shire. the BroOkhurst. Raymond. Jack

Then there are Galen Hail. the Monticel-

eraI conference OF the governors OF the
States, and the rumor was fatty denied.
There is, however. just this foundation
for the report: Mr.. Roosevelt will from
time to time talk with some of the more
important State executives between now
and the convening Of the Sixtieth Con-
gress next December, in order that he
may effect an interchange of views as to
further railroad legislation, and, II possi-
BILE. to minimize State control and enlarge
Federal control. When he will talk with
Gov Hughes, of New York, has not been
decided it may be within the next few
weeks. or it may not be until the Presi-
dent goes TO oyster Bay for the summer.
Topics to BE Discussed.
One of the questions to be discussed
with the governors Of States is the scheme
to prevent overcapltalizatiOn and water
/ ing Of stock by obtaining an appraisement
of the physical value of railways and
! equipment That this is u complex ques-
ton the President admits. He has heard
/ the views of many persons on the subject
+ and he makes notes Of all that is said to
/ him. in the hope of arriving finally at an
Intelligent and effective grasp of the prob
lem.
/ At the very outset the question Of
how the valuation-Uf railroads is to be
obtained is encountered-whether the val
uation is to be based on the Investment
returns of the property, the original cost
OF construction and equipment. the cost
Of duplicating or reproducing the proper
/ ties at this time. or the market value OF
the railroads and equipment according to
the current quotation OF their shares. The
/ President had made all his visitors, with
whom he has talked on the subject be
/ lieve that he will welcome any intelligent
opinions or suggestions; and the subject
will occupy his mind TO great extent
between now and next December
Almost immediately after the close of
! the conference at the White House yes
terday afternoon, Gov. Deneen and At
| torney General Stead left Washington
/ for Chicago. As he left the Presidents S
Office the governor sidestepped the news
! paper men by telling them that the Presi-
dent would give out a statement covering
/ al phases of the conference. 1t was sug-
i gested that the governor might have
! something to say for himself, but he
pointed out that there was nothing for
/ him to say In view of the forthcoming
/ statement from Mr. Roosevelt
No Statement Issued.
/ It Is interesting to note that 10 such
/ statement was issued. Il was said at
/ the White House, on behalf Of the
President, that the conference did not
relate to railroads or to the financial
situation, but that was all
/ Secretary Taft and HIS brother.
Charles 2. Taft. went into the Presi-
dents private office before Gov. De
ncen and Attorney General Stead left
and there were intTOducti0ns all
/ around. The presence Of the man VINO
| is supposed to be the Presidents choice
as his successor started a rumor that
/ the Illinois officials had been called

/ paign. but no grounds for such a story
exist. There was only the barest ref
