To the Editor of the
Reporter:
In regard TO the proposition of
anneXing a portion of Yakima coun-
ty to Benton county and with ref
erence to any bill that might be in
troduced in the next legislature |
have this to say. If elected as
member of the legislature from Ben
ton county [ will go to represent
the people ard no particular inter-
est. | will not favor and will op-
pose bill to provide for the annex
alton of any territory without a
vote of the people in the territory to
be annexed and also a vote of the
people in the county to which such
territory is to be annexed. How
ever, | can see no objection to a bill
providing that if the people of a
certain territory vote to join them
selves onto another county, and the
people of the county to which such
territory is to be annexed, vote to
take in such territory, that such ter
ritory should become part of such
county, the vote to be taken at a
special election held for the purpose
of voting on said annexation; fur
ther the votes of the county and the
proposed territory to be annexed
should be taken separately and a
majority of each district should be
required to permit of any annexa-
ton. l believe in majority rule
and can see nothing unfair in such
a measure. J. r. MCKEAND.

To the Republican Voters of Ben

To the Republican Voters of Ben

/ am asked to make a signed state
ment relative to my position in the

sire to say that if elected to the Of

carry out the Will of the people
And should the people resident in
the siX-mile strip west of the pres

best interests Of our CITY,
j. R McKEAND.
From the foregoing letter it would
appear that Mr.. McKeand's allegi-
ance to and stand for Prosser is
complete In view of his personal
statement he certainly has no claim
on the suffrage of any voter in Ken
newick or the east end precincts.
In the face of it his loudly pro-
claimed friendship for Kennewick
and the eastern part of the county
becomes the merest pretense. By
this statement the only ground his
would-be supporters had to stand on
IS swept away. The Courier has
from the first favored Mr.. McGreg-
or and we again press his claims for
the suffrage Of all republican voters
who stand for honesty and reliabil-
ity.

MRS. vQLCHWE|N
SLAIN, PROSECUTOR
BERD|NE'S THEORY
Believes Aged Woman Who Dis
appeared with 100000 May
Have Been Done Away With.
Especial to the Evening star.1

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 28.--
Startling developments, tending to
prove TINT Mrs. Elnora VoIcIxwein, the
wealthy octogenarfnn of south Amboy,
who disappeared eight weeks ago, was
not spirited AWAY In nm automO bile,
are promised by Prosecutor George
investigating the alleged kidnapping
since 1t was reported to him several
days ago.
"Thc ease is n deep mystery said the
prosecutor. at may be that Mrs. yOlcE-
vein has met with foul play.
we have been unable to learn any
thing of the mysterious automobile and
its occupants after a most assiduous
search, but our investigations have re-
suited in developments which would
tend to show that the aged woman was
not spirited away as we first believed"
The disappearance of the octogenar-
ian was first brought to the attention
of the prosecutor several days ago by
Mrs. Philip Render, who declared that
her grandmother had been kidnapped
eight weeks previous and was being
iltih q Dtl9pAlNl III wow L VI a.
Mrs. Render and the physician told
the prosecutor that new York lawyer
had offered, for $4,000, to take them to
Mrs. Volckwein. The offer was refused,
she said, and she declared her relative
was detained in town IN northern
New York
II do not understand why we did
not hear of her disappearance before"
said Prosecutor Berdine. Ordinarily
the disappearance of an old woman
with 100000 cash would result in a
worldwide search within week.
Mrs. Render is unwilling to swear
out warrants for the arrest of the New
York lawyer ard the two physicians,
who, she says. are OBTAINING her
grandmother and we have abandoned
that theory of Mrs. Yolckwelns dis
appearance"
An automobile party, seen by Police
man Gleason, of South Amboy at 2
o'clock in the morning of the day of
her disappearance. might shed light
upon the situation, the prosecutor says,
and an effort is being made to locate
the occupants Of the car.
Mrs. Yolcl1wein lived in seclusion at
her granddaughter home.

LACKEY STRUCK OR

ELLIOTT SAYS
County Physician Tells Jury,
However, He Found No Sign
of External Violence.
AT DOMINICK WALSH'S
TRIAL FOR MANSLAlUGHTER
Assistant Prosecutor Calls 1t
Tragedy without Intent"
Autopsy Showed HemOrrhage.

Dominick A. Walsh, a well-known
architectural sculptor, of North Cort-
land street, Belleville. after repeated
adjournments of the trial on the charge
of manslaughter in causing the death
of James Lackey, of the same place,
faced Judge Davis and a special panel
of jurors in the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions today.
Lackey was an exempt fireman and
on March 81 last he fell dead In front
of the Firemen's Hotel In Belleville,
after a scuff1e in a crowd. Walsh was
arrested, his indictment following.
County Physician Daniel Elliott, the
first witness, said 1--WE found a
hemorrhage at the base of the brain.
There was a congestion of the kid
neys and the left side OF the heart was
dilated and filled with blood. Death
may have been caused by fall or a
blow" .
Was there any external mark on
Lackey Indicating vioence?" asked
William j. Kearns. counsel for Walsh
mo, SIR" was the emphatic answer
of the county physician.
The defense will be complete denial
and an attempt to show that If Lackey
was killed by a blow 1t was not Walsh
that did 1t. but somebody else in the
crowd.
In accordance with the proclama-
ton of Governor Fort, Judge Ten Eyck
this afternoon adjourned the case until

NAB HORSE THIEF
BAND SUSPECTS At
SUPPOSED FENCE
Nesbitt Street Stable Clearing
House for Robberies Covering
Big Area, Police Believe.

Through the arrest of three men, now
held at police headquarters, Captain
Carroll, of the detective bureau, be-
Iieyes that a fence where stolen
horses have been disposed OF for some
time, has been discovered and that the
thieves will soon be in custody.
Sergeant CORDIALLY. of headquarters
and Patrolman Adubato, assisted by
Detective Sergeant Green. of Passaic,
landed the prisoners last night. Today
the officers are in Passaic and vicinity
searching for the leader of the gang.
who is believed to be in hiding there.
The thefts of horses, so Sergeant Cor
bally states. have occurred within a
fifty mile radius of and in Newark
proper, the fence" raided last night
being the clearing house. Twenty
horses were taken from Passaic alone.
A baker in Passaic discovered that
his horse and wagon had been stolen
yesterday. Detective Sergeant Green,
of that city, traced the stolen rig, reach
ing Newark late in the afternoon, and
CORDIALLY and Adubato were detailed to
assist.
Following several clues the officers
met last night In the Silver Lake sec
ton of Belleville. There they dis
covered the bakers wagon. 1t had
been abandoned after it broke down.
AS they were making further search
the detectives spied two men in a
wagon coming along the road
They were Swallowed until they
reached the Nesbitt street address.
This Is a bake shop kept by Frank
Calascilnetto, who. with his two as
sistants, Joseph Festalno and Joseph
Masculine, are now held at headquar-
ters on suspicion. Calascllnetto had
just opened the door Of the stable in
the rear OF the bake-shop when
pounced upon by the detectives.
Crowded into three stalls were six fine
horses. In the barn were also found
ten sets of harness. which fitted none
of the horses. Three wagons from
which the names of the owners had
been painted over were in the yard.

teenth Ward, and still lives in the old
Bennett homestead. at 420 Morris ave-
nue. He has always been a stanch Re-
publican, and in 1881 was elected Alder
man from his ward. He served one
term, but later was made market clerk,
which position he held for some time,
but retired to engage in business. Some
years ago he became collector for a
large business house, but two years ago
retired because of ill-health.
Mr.. Bennett is one of the best-known
German-Americans Of the Hill section,
and when it leaked out today that he
would probably be appointed to the
Police Board the action of the mayor
was commended.

as reported last week, there was
; aso another rescue from the island
near Dartmouth. Mr.. McAdams sueu,
about "a hours on the first island
and was finally rescued by boat and
handled by ]. H. Beightle after sew,
eral attempts by other parties had
failed.
The rescue near Dartmouth was
Brinkman. They wepe Informed that
two men were there with no means
geetting away. They launched a Nttl,
steel boat and rowed down to the is
land. There they found the two men
wadng around ON the island which
had become knee deep in water.
Their coming was timely az the is
.land was covered with water and the
men almost exhausted and chilled at.
ter spending thirty hours on the is
hand and part Of that spent In the
water.
The men had been working with a
team Of mules on the island doing
some work preparing for the erec-
ton Of the new bridge. The rise
IN the river was very sudden and af.
ter the first rise, they thought it
was all over. They built a fire and
camped for the night, but ON Thurs.
day morning, the second rise came,
and they became still more alarmed.
The mules in the meantim, had stray.
ed away and 1t is not known where
or what became of them.
The appearance Of johnson and
Brinkman was handed with JOY by
the two men who were promptly con-
veyed to the shore where Jesse Jordan
who had driven down from this city
with his team brought the party to
the city. The rise in the river had
been expectd, as warning had been
sent ahead, but no one anticipated an
thing like the volume of water that
finally reached here.
