Middletown. N. T.. Dec. 1-The body or Mrs. Eleanor Merron Cowper, the actress and author, who fatally shot herself Friday at the St. Regis Hotel in New York. where her death occurred last night, will be cremated tomorrow. The ashes will be deposited in a ceme- tery in this city. where are inferred the ashes of James H. wallack, her close friend. who committed suicide on May lst last and the remains of her husband o
 Arrangements for the cremation of Mrs. Cowper's body were made in de- ference to request contained in a let ter which the actress left her attor- ney, Judge H. B. Royce In that let ter she said:
 When>you get the can, I want you to open 1t and place the ashes directly in the ground. There need be only a small bit of turf removed and a little digging. You place the ashes in the ground and fill 1t up. I hope the ground is not frozen too hard. I don't want to spend the winter in a tin box on shelf.

 The legal representative here of the suicide was said tonight to possess letters showing that Mrs. Cowper made suicide pact with Wallack. the attorneys refused tH make the text of the letters public.

POLICE CHIEF DROWNED.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-Willian1 J. BIggey, chief of police of this city, was drowned last night while return ing across the bay in the police pa trol launch.
 Chief Biggey had been at suburb to call on Police Commissioner Keil. He boarded the launch to return to the city about 10 o'clock and when the boat was out on the bay he com plained of feeling cold to Engineer Murphy, the only other occupant of the launch. Murphy advised Biggey to go to the cabin at the stern of the boat.
 Murphy then went forward to at tend to his engine and did not see the chief again. He came on the deck as the boat neared the city and mo- ticed that the chief had disappeared. Search of the boat failed to locate him.
 Murphy made all speed to the dock where he reported the accident and went out into the bay again to search for the msising officer. Numerous boats were hurried to the scene and a careful search of the bay was be- gun.
 Ever since the suicide of Morris Haas, the man who attempted to Kill Assistant District Attorney Heney and later took his own life in the county jail, the relations between Chief Big gey and the graft prosecution has been strained to the breaking point. Coun. ter charges have been filed by the parties to the controversy in the att tempt to fix the blame for the fact that Haas had secured a pistol while in jail
 Charges of incompetency and dere- fiction of duty have been filed against the chief and in return he filed simi- lar charges against Captain of Police Duke, who searched Haas in the court room and against Detective Sergeant Thomas Burke. who was in charge of Haas at the jail.
 Blggey was appointed chief of police by Mayor Taylor after the latter had been placed in office following the re. movaI of Mayor Schmitz.
 In a later statement Engineer, Mur. phy said that the chief came to him In the engine room and complained of feeling Ill from the motion of the boat as well as being cold. A little later Murphy looked toward the stern of the boat and saw the chief leaning over the side vomiting.
 The Police Commissioners today ap3 pointed one of their number. A. D. Cutler, Chief of Police. It Is under SSOSO IhoN SAAO ID temporary.
 The waters of the bay and shore lines are being thoroughly searched for the body of Chief Biggy.
 Police Commissioner Kiet issued a signed statement today relating the connected with the visit of Chief Biggy last night to hts Bel vide home The commissioner had been notified by telephone to expect visit or. but no name was given in the mes- sage. When the chief arrived he of being bounded by news papers. He refused an invitation to all night instead of returning to the city in his launch.
 Although numerous boats have pa trolled and searched the bay since day. light this morning from the Golden Gate to Hunters Point, the body of Chief of Police Biggy has not been re- covered. It is feared that the body has been carried out to sea.

WILL FILE CONTEST
CHARGES FRAUD IN , ILLINOIS.
Democratic Candidate Believes That He Was Fairly Nominated and VIII
 Fight For the Place in the


 Adlai E. Stevenson, beaten by more than 23,000 votes. purposes a contest against Charles S. Deneen for the Gov ernorship of Illinois for the coming four years, says the Chicago Record Herald.
 The defeaetd Democratic candidate has been brought to the belief that he received a majority of the votes cast as between himself. and Governor Deneen at the recent elction ,and final plans were made yesterday to attempt to throw the Governorship into the ap- preaching session of the Illinois Gener- al Assembly.
 At a conference held yesterday after noon at the Sherman House there were present Chairman Boeschenstein, of the State Committee; Arthur ". Charles, of Carmi, Vice Chairman: George A. Cooke, of Aledo, Secretary; Roger c. Sullivan, Democratic National Commit teeman a contingent of representative Chicago Democrats and friends of the defeated Democratic gubernatorial as- pirant.
 At the close of the conference. Chair man Boeschenstein made this declara- tion: -,.. ..t
 We would not be performing our duty to the people of Illinois were we not to make public the testimony which Wo nave SSCuA!Ca biliGC CiOCAACA Aays lcH- timony which will convince the Legis- lature that thousands of votes were wrongfully counted for Deneen which should have been counted for Steven son. The contest surely will be made. MT. Stevenson has given the word and our evidence is nearly completed"
 The State Chairman pointed to mass of manuscript which contained reports which Democratic precinct cap A. Tn the State These purport to show ir- regularities on the part of election of fcials all over the State sufficient in number to wipe out the 23,164 plurality for Governor Deneen which the official canvass developed.
 The Democrats hope that they can seat Stevenson throuhg the aid of that part of the Republican end of the Sem ate and House which is unfriendly to te state administration. They admit that there are "Deneen Democrats" in the ranks of the members of the Legs lature who are elected as Democrats and who will refuse to be lined up Tor the scheme to create a State Returning Board and count Stevenson in.
 It is necessary. under the statutes Of Illinois. ta file notice of contest within ten day after the result of elction has been ascertained. The result will not be of5cIaily ascertained until the Senate and house meet to canvass the elect ion returns in joint session in January.
 The first obstacle which the steven son Ieutenants will encounter will be the strong Republican majority Tn both Senate and House, and with the pros pect that in both bodies the element which would obstruct the carrying out of the Deneen policies Will pc Tar rom n. Solding control. It is the province of tbe I.eeislature to direct a recount of inc ballots, but this Is believed by the politicians to be about the farthest pos sibility within the purview of the in coming Legislature.

TOSTAND BYCANNON
ILLINOIS DELEGATION HEARS
 FROM CONGREssMIfN.
Responses From Members of the House So Favorable To "uncle Joes That They Are Pleased.
 Change Rules.

Washington, Dec. 1--Friends of Speaker Cannon profess to be highly pleased with the responses to letters which Representative James R. Mann, of Chicago, has been sending to the members announcing that the Illinois delegation will present the name of Jo- seph c. Cannon for Speaker of the Six ty-frst Congress. They state that these answers assure the reelection of the Speaker.
 Representative Mann today admitted that he had received unequivocal an- swers from more than a majority of the Republicans of the House. saying that they would support MT. Cannon. This number has not reached a majority of the membership of tho House. MT. Mann explained that a number. princi- pally new members. had written that they desired to look over the situation and investigate the subject more thor oughly before replying in a way that might be considered as a pledge. It Is said that only one member Of the House has replied that he will oppose the recollection of MT. Cannon as Speak ST.
 Attention is gradually shifting from the Speakership to the proposal to are indications that the Speaker may not offer much opposition to some amendments at least.
 One of the amendments suggested Is a proposition for a calendar patterned after procedure in the Senate. whereby the roll of bills would be called fre- quently for passage under unanimous consent. This would obviate the neces- sity of members going to the Speaker and asking to be recognized for the purpose of asking unanimous consent for the passage of a bill.
