LONG DEADLOCK IS BROKEN
Former Gov. Bradley, Republican, Elect
ed Senator by Kentucky
Legislature.

Frankfort, KY, March /. - Amid
scenes Of widest excitement on the
floor of the house Of representatives,
Former Governor William O'Connell
Bradley, Republican candidate, was
yesterday elected to succeed James B.
McCreary in the United States senate
for term Of six years, beginning
March 4. 1909. He received sixty.four
votes, barely enough to win, and was
enabled to gain victory through the as
sistance Of four Democrats who have
throughout the session voted against
J. w. Beckham. Their sudden rally to
Bradley took the Beckham men com.
pletely by surprise.
Try to Break Quorum.
The completion Of the first roll call
showed Bradley GA, Beckham GO,
Blackburn l.; James 1. Before the
speaker could announce the result the
Democrats obtained a recapitulation
and attempted to break the quorum by
leaving the hall. but came back accom-.
panied by Beckham, who authorized
the withdrawal of his name and re.
leased the Democrats from the primary
nomination pledge to him, in the hope
that some other Democrat would be
named who could defeat Bradley. The
four holting Democrats were surround
ed by lifelong party friends an urged
to withdraw their support of Bradley
and elect James McCreary or any
Democrat they might name, but they
remained obdurate, declaring that the
proposition came too late.
Refused TO Change.
The Democratic leaders promised !.
caucus to select candidate, to which,
the name of BeclihaEl would not be
presented, but the recalcitrants re.
fused all offers, and the result could
not he changed.
STEe:e was great disorder in the
chamber during recapitulation, the
Republicans demanding the speaker to
announce the result and the Democrats
seeking to delay, hoping to induce one
of the Democrats to leave Bradley.
In a speech accepting his election
Bradley thanked the speaker for his
fair and impartial rulings.

SEE RETURN OF PROSPERITY
Railroad Men Say There Are 5000
Idle Freight cars-Expect Sud.
den Change for Better. ).

Washington, March 3.-The Ameri-
can railways have made arrangements
to comply with the provisions Of the
nine-hour law. The operation of the
law will mean the employment by rail-
road companies of several thousand
additional operators and the closing Of
large number of small stations on
the principal systems. The operating
officials of the railways believe that
this is the only way that they posi-
bly, can meet the situation. During
the hearing by the interstate CON-
merce' commission some astonishing
statements were made by the operat-
ing officials of important railways.
Pushed Hard for Cash.
A.good many lines, owing to re-
duction in their revenues and to their
inability to command the cash neces-
sary to meet their pay rolls, have been
forced during the past four months al.
most to the point of asking for re.
ceivers. Most of the railway officials
attribute the difficulty to the unfor-
tunate banking situation which de-
veloped last September.
One railway official ventured the
statement that in the country to-day
there were 100000 idle freight cars,
and one line which he 'instanced was
declared to be hauling empty cars
backward and forward because it had
not yard room or sidings to accommo-
date them.
Return Of Prosperity.
Not a single official, however, ex-
pressed the belief that the present in
dustrial depression would be lasting.
They practically uniformly express
confidence that the return of prosperi-
ty will be almost as sudden as was the
coming of adversely, and in their argu-
ments as to the enforcement of the
nine-hour law they pointed out to the
commission that such return of pros
perity might seriously embarrass them
in complying with the law, because it
would render it difficult to command
the services of competent operators in
sufficient numbers to meet the needs
of prosperous conditions.

Red Flag Is Raised.

Placing herself at the head of a.
mob, Mrs. Schuck raised red flag and
marched her followers to the corner
of Fifth and San Pedro streets, dis.
lance of about mile, the crowd sing
ing the "Marseillaise." At Fifth and
San Pedro two police officers sought
to suppress the demonstration. When
the crowd became demonstrative and
riot call was turned in twenty police
officers fastened to the scene and sue,
ceeded in dispensing the mob and ar
resting Mrs. Schuck, Woody and
Hicks. They were later released on
500 bail each.

Italians, in Six Cities Were Con.
nected With the Killing of
Father Leo.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE CAPTURED
Letter to Son Written by Denver Priests
Assassin Contains Glue
to Conspiracy.

Denver. March /. - Chief of Police
Michael Delaney said yesterday that a
letter written by Giuseppe Alto to his
son, which was found in the cell occu-
pied by Alto while in Jail at Colorado
Springs, contained proof that men in
six cities in the United States were
connected with him in the killing of
Father Leo Hejncichs.
Almost at the moment that he made
this statement came news that six ar
rests had been made in Eastern cities
of men suspected of being accoa1plices
of the murderer.
Six Arrests Made.
j. Vanni was arrested in New York
yesterday, charged with being the
chief of the society, while in Pittsburg
Orestos Sodi. Tomasso Calabreso,
Orestos Malavui and Malio Tolmei
were locked up for being implicated
as members of the society. The po-
lice OF New York and Pittsburg say
they have evidence which connects
these men with the killing of Father
Leo.
Arrests have been made in four cit
les, but because the police of these
cities are shadowing other men, no in
formation is given out as to who the
arrested mon are.
Plot Matched Elsewhere.
Chief Delaney said that he was not
sure whether Alto was merely a tool
of the anti-clerica! society, to which
he said all these men belonged, or
wether he was ring!eader.
Altos letter TO his son was found
concealed in the blankets of the cot
in the Colorado Springs Jail. Its con-
tents translated, it is asserted, indicate
that Father Leo was the victim of a
plot Matched outside of Denver, and
that Alto came here to commit the
murder, which was to be the signal
for others.
All Is Not Vet Told.
Until all the arrests have been made
which the police contemplate Chief
Delaney said he would not give out all
the particulars in the case.
That insanity will be the plea offer
ed in defense of Alto was the positive
statement of Baron G. Tosti, italian
consul, who, in comany with Former
Consul Core and Attorney Widdi.
combe, visited the prisoner in the Jail
yesterday.
