Warden Thomas III. Mckee OF the
United States Jail has written letter
to President Roosevelt informing him
that the health of 800 male prisoners in
the jail is endangered by the presence
in their midst of prisoner suffering from
tuberculosis.
In his communication Capt. Mckee asks
the executive to either order the mans
removal to some hospital or TO grant him
a pardon that the danger of infection
may be removed.
This course was taken by Warden Nc

he was without authority TO act.
The prisoner in question has been placed
in a cell by himself that he does not
come in contact with any other prisoner.
But his presence in the building is a men,

The discovery Of the case calls attention
incidentally to the inadequate accommoda-

where the unfortunate prisoner can be
cared for properly. The man could be

BURGLARS STOLE, CLOTHES
INCLUDING SOME FILINGS OF
DETECTIVE ADONIS PRATT.

George Wilson. alias Leroy Pfeiffer. and
Frederick Belford, alias johnson, colored,
who came here a few days ago from Har-
risburg. Pa, will be arraigned in the
Police Court tomorrow morning on a
charge of burglary. They came here on a
freight train a few days ago and entered
the clothes Shop of Joseph Reynolds. at
49, Louisiana avenue, and carried off
about 500 worth of clothing that had
been left there to be cleaned. The prison.
ers admitted their guilt and took the de-
tectives to a lumber yard at 18th street
and Ohio avenue. where most of the
plumber was recovered. Part of it was in
a suit case belonging to Detective Pratt,
the officer having taken 1t to the clothing
establishment filled with articles Of wear
ing apparel.
The prisoners explained. to the detectives
that they went to the Louisiana avenue
place Of business about o'clock Sunday
morning and effected an entrance by
climbing through a rear window, having
used a ladder in order to reach the win
dow. They pulled the ladder through the
window after them and used 1t as a prop.
A glass panel was removed from one of
the doors to provide for a quick get away,
and the men then assorted the clothing
and packed the best of 1t in two suit
cases. leaving more than a hundred gar
ments on the floor.
Several of the articles of clothing were
sold. and when arrested one prisoner was
wearing a pair of stolen trousers. Special
Policeman Klopfer came across when the
detectives were searching the lumber
yard and hid behind a tree. The detectives
caught on and shouted to him as they
approached.
IT'S good thing you called said
KIopfer, putting his revolver back in his
pocket. Il though somebody was in
there
The colored men told the detectives that
they beat their way from Harrisburg on
freight trains. Before they got away
from Harrisburg Wilson had to jump
from a train in a hurry and got his foot
caught so near the track that the wheels
OF a car cut off the end of one of his
toes.
This morning they were measured and
photographed at police headquarters.

WILL CARRY NEW YORK
CHAIRMAN CoNNERs SEES BIG
VICTORY FOB BRYAN.

NEW YORK. August 14.-In connection
with the meeting today Of the democratic
state committee. the principal business
of which will be the Issuance of a call
for a state convention to nominate for
state officers. Chairman w. J. Corners
had invited the chairmen of the various
county committees for a general exchange
of views on the political situation and
the invitation was quite generally ac-
cepted. Prior to the assembling of the
state committee Chairman Corners stated
positively that the convention will be
held in Rochester September 10.
The temporary chairman Mr. Con-
ners added. will not be selected until the
next meeting of the state committee.
which will be held at Rochester Septem-
Der IA, to which date tOday's meeting will
probably be adjourned. The republicans
have named their chairman in advance,
because they have hard road to travel.
There Is no necessity of our naming our
chairman until convention time"
Mr.. Corners was asked about the situa-
ton throughout the state and replied:
Strongest Democrat in New York.
william j. Bryan will carry New York
state by from 1900 to 100000. Bryan
Is the strongest democrat In New York
today. We will carry Erie. Niagara,
Chenango and fifteen or sixteen other
counties. Kings county will roll UP a big
majority. and other boroughs Of Greater
New York may be depended upon to add a
sufficient democratic plurality to wipe out
the republican plurality up state. In my
opinion whoever is nominated by the re-
publicans will not carry the state above
the Bronx by more than $1,000 or 5000"
Discussing the gubernatorial situation
Mr.. Corners said he had heard the name
of Judge Alton b. Parker mentioned as a
candidate. There is plenty of good ma
terial to pick FROM" said Mr.. Corners
Martin w. Littleton would make a
strong candidate. State Controller Glynn
has made a good record and would make
a strong candidate for governor Lieut.

PASSENGERS ESCAPE.
No One Hurt When Train Crashes
Through String Of Cars.

MIDDLETOWN. n. Y. August IA
What is regarded as one of the most re-
markable railroad wrecks that has ever
occurred on the Ontario and Western sys-
tenn. in that no one was killed or injured.
occurred at Summitville last night when
passenger train No. 418. bound for Vice.
hawken, N. j.. ran into an open switch
while going twenty miles an hour. cut
through half a dozen empty passenger
coaches standing on siding and then
jumped the track.
1t was largely due to the GOODNESS and
bravery of the engineer. Eugene Bars.
that the train was not completely
wrecked. When he saw that his engine
had run by the open switch he applied
the emergency brakes. and despite the
fact that he saw his engine rushing to-
ward the passenger coaches on the siding
he stuck to his post. The engine, after
jammng its nose through the empty cars,
jumped the track and went bounding
along over the ties. dragging the mail
coach also from the rails.
