Senator Taylor's Wedding May
Interfere pith Vote.

From the best information obtainable at Re-
publican state headquarters, Senator John r. c.
Taylor, of Middletown, Democrat, who voted
with the Republicans for the Agnew-Hart rae
ing bill, is be married not later than June
and will at sail for Europe. This means
that if Senator Foeker who operated
for appendicitis two weeks ago and who is now
convaIescing Poughkeepsie at the home of
relatives. does not recover sufficiently to make
the journey to Albany before Senator Taylors
departure, the friends of the Agnew-Hart bill
will lose vote that they have counted from
the beginning
1t is understood that the failure of the Senate
to pass the Agnew-Hart bill before adjourn
ment has seriously embarrassed the Senator
from the Orange County district. He had in
tended to be married early this month. When it
became apparent that Governor HugheS would
call special session of the Senate Senator Tay-
lor told the Governor and others that he would
postpone his wedding until May ~.
He considered that this would be the limit Of
his accommodation to the friends OF the anti
betting bill The serious illness of Senator
Foelker induced the Republican leaders 10 i'm
perfume Senator Ia ylor again to postpone ms
wedding It is understood that he has signifed
his willingness to wait until June 4, but not
longer.
At Republican state headquarters yesterday
it was said that reports about Senator Foelker
were favorable, but there nothing certain
about his being able to go to Albany for the
next week ten days
Senator Fancher. of Olean. the member who on
the day of the vote mysterously kid
mapped but who turned up at the last minute
in time to vote for the bill, is at present IN
Oklahoma, where he has extensive oil interests
He is expected in Albany on Tuesday night.
While the friends of Governor Hughes are still
confident of having enough votes to pass the
bill within the next two weeks. il is fact that
the opponents of the measure are feeling more
and more iubilant and confident They boast of
having vote in reserve in case 1t is needed and
saw that 1t will make little difference whether
Foelker gets TO Albany not.

ule of games for the championship is

champion
At its meeting next Monday night
the union will take definite steps to
inaugurate the competition and repre-
sentatives from each school will be
present.

HEIRS SEEK RICH CLAIMS
LEFT BY DEAD MINER
Remains of Mervin w. Thomp-
son Must Be Found for
Settlement of Estate
sPECIAL DIsPATCH To THE CALI

Los ANGELES, Oct. 21.-A fortune
in rich gold ore near Searchlight de-
pends on the discovery of the remains
OF Mervin w. Thompson, a miner, who
is supposed TO have been murdered
near that place in August. 1906. A de-
mand by heirs of Thompson at Supe-
rior, Wis, that his claims, since proved
to be of great value, be turned over to
them. has stimulated the search for
the body. Deputy Sheriff John Howe
of Searchlight came to Los Angeles
today to gather facts that will aid him
in conducting the quest. Scores of
men are TO be employed to aid.
In June, 1906, Thompson drove into
Crescent camp i miles from Search
light. He invested his money in a gem
eral merchandise store there, and leaV-
ing a friend in charge, started pros
pecting in the hills. Within a few
weeks he had make a strike. located
his claims and started back for Search
light with rich samples. Reaching
Searchlight he recorded his claims
displayed his samples to many miners
and started back for a camp in the
vicinity of his strike. From that time
no trace ever has been found Of him.
His claims were proved up by a man
whom Thompson had met on his pros
pecting tour and who has share in
the company that was formed. The
remainder OF the property, now de-
clared to be among the richest In the
Searchlight region. is claimed by the
Thompson heirs, who believe he was
killed by those who sought 10 acquire
his claims but the title can not pass
to the heirs until Thompson IS proved
10 be dead.
