POLICE FIND A CLUE
TT IS BELIVED HUSBAND KILLED
 "WOMAN IN RED."
A Box COntaininE Jewelry of Murdered Woman Was Found in Saloon Having Been Left There
 Nv WhitmOre.

Newark N. J.. Jan. 4.-An import ant discovery. which the police state will enable them to name the slayer of Mrs. Lena Whitmore, the victim of the Lampblack Swamp murder near Harrison. N. U. wh ose husband. Theo- dore Whitmore is now held in custody, pending a further investigation of the crime, was made today when the jew elry of the dead woman was found in the safe of Harry E, Radin. a saloon keeper of Brooklyn.
 After an examination by detectives Radin stated that Whitmore had given him the box containing the jewelry on either December 80 or 31. several days after the nude body of the woman was found half submerged In the mud and water of the Harrison pond. Whit more had previously told the police that his Wife had worn all her jewels when she left her home on Christmas afternoon. The discovery made today who now declare the case nearer to a full solution
 Whitmore told the officers yesterday that he freuuented Radin's place often. When the detectives heard that Whit more had left a box at Radin's saloon which he wanted kept ir the safe, they began an investiRation. Radin was not inclined to give any information and said that the box had been given him by Whitmore about four days after the body of the woman hs been found The box was opened and found to con tain not only all Mrs. Rh itmore's jew elry. but some silverware.

MAY WITHDRAW JUDGE P5NDLEY
 s. Presidsr Roosevelt May
 Consider. JOE THOMPSON FIGURES Stockholders of Southern Steel Company Complain. Attorney General BonAparte Said to Be Standing Up for Alabama Man Opposed by the Com
 gressmen.
BY ALFRED ,. sToFER.

Washington, Jan. 4.-(Special. )-- The impression is growing here that the alleged mortgage deal that Judge Oscar R. Hundley made with Referee Joe Thompson and the appointment by Judge Hundley of Mir. Thompson as receiver, in the Southern Steel Com pany difficulties will be serious ob-. stacie in the way of his confirmation by the Senate.
 It is reliably learned that the whole matter will be prepared and presented at an early dax to the Senate Judi ciary Committee where this Alabama appointment has been hanging fire for many months.
 It is common talk in Washington that numerous large stockholders in the Southern Steel Company who suf- fered heavily by the appointment of receivers, residing in Baltimore and cities further north. have written let ters tos Republican Senators in which they are said to have thoroughly dis cussed the political aspect of the case and the influence they are reported to believe responsible for the appointment of Mir. Thompson.
 Under recent developments many we'll posted public men talk as if they have reached the conclusion that Judge Hundley's nomination is more attrib- utable to Attorney General Bonaparte than to President Roosevelt, and this has given rise to a report that when Judge Hundley's alleged connection with the Southern Steel Company and the Thompson mortgage affair is fully presented to Mir. Roosevelt he may withdraw Judge Hundley's nomination and send another name to the Senate that will not provoke any opposition.
 When Senator Knox of Pennsylvania was Attorney General he was so op- posed to Judge Hundley that he posi- lively declined to sanction his proposed appointment as United States District Atforneyg
 It will be remembered that the bill creating a new judge for Alabama was passed about fourteen days before Congress adjourned. Judge Hundley was appointed during the recess of Congress. Some of the best constitu- tional lawyers, both Republicans and Democrats, hold that the President should have appointed some one while Congress was in session, and that Judge Hundiey's appointment is void. This pointswill be brought up and those opposing confirmation contend 1t is strong enough of itself to defeat Judge Hundley. That remains to be seen A red hot light Is certainly being made against him. As yet the seven Alabama Representatives who are anx- ious to defeat Judge Hundley have not the cooperation of the Senators, but they seem to be hopeful that they will be in line when all the papers are placed before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 When last here Judge Hundley said he did not intend to come to Washing ton this winter to look after his in- terests, so certain did he feel that he would be confirmed.

who are ready and anxious to jump in to the fray once it IS shown that the election of Beckham Is impossible.
 Blackburn. while in no sense e cam didate, frankly states that he would accept the office were 1t rendered him. McCreary would no doubt be pleased to continue to represent the State m the upper branch of Congress, and there are numerous others who would be equally glad of the honor.
 Once the bars are let down there will be a lively race and the Republi- cans. in nominating Bradley, will have in mind the fact that to elect him they will require but four votes. Out of the turmoil and friction on the Democratic side they hope to win. but if they can not. they will be In a position, should the opportunity arise, to make deal with one wing of the Democrats where by the office would go to some Demo- crat more satisfactory to the Republi- cans than Beckham.
 Not since the famous Taylor Goebel contest. eliminating in the assassina. ton of one and the flight of the other. has interest in an election in Ken lucky reached a higher pitch. The Sem atorial fight is the all absorbing topic and will continue to be until the last blow Tn the savage fight has been struck.

DEPEW AND PLATT WILL
 NOT GO AS DELEGATES

New York, Jan. 1.-The Tribune to- morrow will say:
 While the list is subject to change, like other political states, tse plan of the organization leaders is that the Big Four elected by the Republican State convention will be Elihu Root. Secretary of State; George B. Cortel- you, Secretary of the Treasury; ex- Governor Frank Black and Timothy L.. Woodruff, chairman of the State Com mittee.
 The State convention is likely to be held on Tusday, April IA.
 If this slate stands. obviously it leaves "outside the breastworks" tbose national convention veterans. Senators Thomas Collier Platt and Chauncey M. Depew.
 The ten or a dozen men who control the Republican organization in this State are chary of saying why the slate leaves Senators Platt and Depew off the list. but when pressed, they admit that neither Senator is likely to go as delegate-at-large.

FINAL CONFERENCE
HARRY TRAVIS COUNSEL NOW
 READY FOR TRIAL.
Mother of the Defendant is HI in Pitts- burg. and will Not Be Present When Case is
 Called.

New York. Jan. 4.-The final confer ences of the attorneys engaged Tn the defense of Harry Thaw were held to- day without the presence of Mrs. Wil- liam Thaw. the mother. who was ex- pected to 20 over the case in US en- tirety with the lawyers.
 Mrs. 'rhaw is still too i'll to come on from her home in Pittsburg and will not be in court when Thaw Is called to his place on Monday morning at I0:30 o'clock. She is expected to ar rive in New York within the next week or ten days, however, and will be ready to again take the stand if the testimony necessary to their case. Josiah and Edward Thaw. the broth CTS, and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, a sister. are expected Monday.
 The trial will be held in the same branch of the Supreme Court as be- criticized mural decorations depicting sThe Fates'' in one panel Justice" in another and 'FrateFnitv. Bauality and Liberty in a third.
 Justice Victor Bowling. who will pre- side at the trial. is one of the youngest but has already attained a wide repu- tation as furist. He has expressed an intention to hold the opposing att torneys steadily to their tasks and to expedite the trial as much as possible. It Is minated that if it appears from the first days proceedings that the work of Jury selection will be difficult, night sessions will be held. The de- fendant and his attorneys. as we'll as the District Attorney, are in accord with Justice Bowling. and Will do everything in their power to hasten the progress. It is the hope of all to make the second trial a model of brev.ty as compared with the first one.
 The demand for admissions to tho trial is expected to be heavy. but it is promised the lines are to be strictly drawn. The ban on the attendance of women will go far toward preventing a repetition of the almost riotous scenes tn the court house corridors which marked the opening of the first hear ing.
 Since the announcement that Anthony Comstock, head of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. would be called as one of the principal new witnesses for the defense, the rumor has once more gained circulation that Mrs. Eve lyn Nesb.t Thaw will not take the stand; the theory being that Com stocks testimony will indicate what Thaw had heard regarding Stanford White, and thus relieve the wife from repeating her remarkable story. It was again authoritatively stated to- day, however, that young Mrs. Thaw will be relied upon as the chief wit ness.

MISTRIAL DECLARED
CALEB POWERS JURY COULD NOT
 REACH AGREEMENT.
Tea of the Jurors stood for Aequittsi and Two for ConvicttOn--Bail For Defendant Was
 Refused.

Georgetown, Ky, Jan. 4.-Through the inability of a jury to agree on has guilt or innocence of complicity in the murder of William Goebei Caleb Pow CTS will. on the 9th day of July next, be compelled to stand fifth trial for his life.
 For almost eight long years Powers has been imprisoned fin one jail or an- other.
 In the last trial, ten of the twelve men on the jury voted for acquittal, two holding out for conviction. Fore man J. T. Price of Grant County, aged 65. and J. W. Renaker of Harrison County, aged 62, the two oldest men on the jury, were the two who refused to accede to the ten.
 Powers states tonight that he intends to fight the case to the bitter end
 Few criminal trials have attracted more attention than has the case Of Caleb Powers who eisht years ago was just entering Oh his term as Secre- tary of State. when William Goebei. Democratic contestant in the wuberna- torial contest then pending before the Legislature, was shot and killed at Frankfort, the shot having apparently been fired from a window of the Sec retary of States ofice.
 Powers was arrested and for nearly eight years has been in various jails in this State. part of the time as a State and part as a Federal prisoner. Powers was charged with being an ac- cessory before the fact, and the open window in his office has played large part in the various prosecutions. His fourth trial just concluded. continued for seven weeks.
 The ten jurors who stood out for acquittal of Caleb Powers tonight signed a request to the Governor to release James Howard from the pent- tentIary, as follows:
 "The undersigned affiants state that they and each of them served as ju- TOTS on the trial of the commonwealth of Kentucky vs. Caleb Powers recent ly tried at special term of the Scott Circuit Court. presided over by the Hon. James s. Morris. special judge: that after hearing the testimony in- trodueed by parties in said trial, the undersigned reached the conclusion and are now of the opinion and belief that James B. Howard. who has been tried and convicted and Is now under sentence for the alleged complicity and as one of the principals in the crime of murder for the killing of Senator William Goebel. is entirey innocent of said charge and had nothing what ever to do with the commission of said crime"

DarrOvv In DeliRhted.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 4.-Clarence Darrow. the Chicago attorney, who di- rected the defense of Haywood and Pettibone. now in the California hos pital here, received the news of the verdict with great pleasure.
 Tt is unnecessary to say" he said, that I am delighted. I am gratified beyond measure. I had, of course, ex pected an acquittal, but to know 1t is R great satisfaction"
 Mir, Darrow then dictated the follow ing message to PettIbone:
 Congratulations. come here. I have flowers enough for two funerals"
 Commenting further upon the result, Mir. Darrow said:
 There was never anything to these cases but Orchard. He related a weird, fantastic. exciting story, but there was no corrob oration of 1t that tended of itself to incriminate any body. The country had seen in the Haywood trial what monumental liar he was. It was not safe to take the life of any man on such testimony. In the Pettibone trial. the people had become accustomed to the story of Orchard and thoroughly discredited it. Very little attention was paid it.
 "I should think that the prosecution would now dismiss the case against President Mover. Even Orchard testi- fled to very little against him aud no one else did, The fact that he was ad- mitted to bail showed that the prose- cution held their case against him to be weak
 Referring to the logical result of the acquittal of both Haywood and Pettibone Mr. Darrow said:
 "T think the Western Federation of Miners has a large field of usefulness.

Haywood ia Jubilnnt.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 4.--William D. Haywood, secretary treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners. arrived in Denver tonight from the Northwest. When shown the Associated Press de- spatch in reference to the acquittal of George A. Pettibone at Boise, he said:
 T feel like I have been acquitted again. This is more complete vindi- cation than the previous trial. There was no evidence introduced or argu- ment made by the defense and the prosecution was cognizant of every thing we had and it had months to strengthen its case. It confirms what has always been contended by the Federation, that there was a conspir- acy on foot engaged in by the admin istrations of this State and Idaho and the Mine Owners Association, to con vict us and thereby weaken organized labor in the West.
 T am equally jubilant at Pettibone's aoquittal as my own, and notwith- standing the reiterated statement by Governor Gooding. 1t is now safe to presume we will all leave Idaho alive"
 The action of the State in dismiss ing the case against Mover, he said, was just what he had expected.
