SIBLEY LETTER
A VINDICATION
Senator Bailey Glad 1t Was
Read, as 1t Proves His
Entire Innocence.

Gainesville. Tex. Sept. 21.-When an
Associated Press representative asked
Senator Bailey today what reply. if
any. he desired to make to what Mr..
Hearst said regarding him in his Mem
phis speech Saturday night, Senator
Bailey dictated the following:
Assuming that the Sibley letter
which Mr.. Hearst read. is genuine, and
that / am the Senator b to whom il
refers, / am very glad that it has been
given to the public. for it completely
refutes a charge which my enemies
have been making against me in this
state, the last two years. They have
been claiming that / am an agent OF
the Standard Oil company and insinuat-
ing that / have been friendly to them
in matters of legislation. This letter
distinctly shows that l am not their at
torney and it also distinctly shows that
my position could not be changed to
suit the interest of the Standard Oil
company The letter which is claimed
to have been written by Mr.. Sibley sug-
gests that he might arrange for Mr.
Archbcld TO talk to me and the Arch
bold reply. as read by Mr.. Hearst. says
that he would like to talk to me. AS q
matter of fact, Mr.. Sibley- never made
to me the remotest suggestion of a con-
ference with Mr.. Archbold. and 1 never
spoke to Mr.. Archbold in my life about
matters pending in congress or any
other legislative body Even my worst
enemies can hardly insist that I ha6
talked with Archbold, because the con-
gressional record shows that / did moi
agree with the Standard Oils view or
any question, and to insist that I con-
ferred with Mr.. Archbold and that ht
was as powerless to alter my opinion
as Mr.. Sibley admits himself to have
been. would not give much comfort t.
nv enemies"

NO GRADE CROSSINGS
Waterbury Will Not Have Any of
 Them After To.Morrow.

After tomorrow there will be no more railroad grade crossings within the limits. of Waterbury. The last one .in use, the West Main street crossing. where five people were. kill ed outright one morning last Novem- Der, and number injured. will pass out of existence Saturday evening af- ter the last train runs over it, for on Sunday morning the whole system of new tracks will be used for the first time and a temporary depot on Meadow street will supplant the pres ent temporary depot on West Main street. There is another crossing To- cated at Washington avenue, south of the shops of the Waterbury Brass Goods corporation, but no passenger or freight trains will run over this. It will be used solely for the purpose of supplying the industries along the tracks with coal and raw materials.
 In view of the elimination of the crossings 1t would be interesting to know how many lives were lost on their account and the sum they cost the railroad company. Grade cross ing are things of the past, obsolete features in railroading up to date. The state legislature enacted law against them twoy ears ago.

CAN LAY A TRACK
Trolley CompsDy Can Now Gel
 al It's Gravel Beds.

The street committee of the board of public works to whom was refer red the application of the trolley company for permission to construct spur track on South Main street. opposite South Leonard street, for the purpose of getting cars into and from its gravel bank on the east side of the road, has decided to recommend that the application be granted on condition that the petitioner main tain a flagman at it's own expense whenever 1t is using the track and that 1t will remove the same and re- store the street to the condition it found it whenever ordered to do so by the board of aldermen. The spur track, If ordered by the aldermen, will extend clear across the street, and in the absence of a flagman would be positively dangerous to pub lie travel. With a competent man on guard there is no reason why 1t should be objectionable although it is true that there is strong sentiment against granting the use of the pub lie highways for such purpose.

THE HENDERSON CASE
City Receives Letter From Aiior.
 ney Bronson Concerning IL.

Attorneys Bronson and Lewis, counsel for John Henderson, Jr. have addressed a communication to the board of aldermen stating that if there is disposition on the part of the city to settle the difference with MT Henderson regarding the matter of benefits and damages arising from the extension of Clark street, which necessitates the removal of MT Hen derson's house, he is willing to meet them and suggests that the aldermen appoint some official to talk the mat ter over. The communication calls attention to statements in the press relative to arbitrary conduct of Mir Henderson, and adds that while no attention should be paid to news paper reports or those who talk for publication. yet if, the mayor is will ing to have this difference adjusted by arbitration MT Henderson is ready. What the mayor did say was that if Mir Henderson would submit a definite statement in writing as to what he does want it would receive due consideration, but up to last Tuesday night he hadn't dono that and it is hard to see any definite plan of settlement in the document prepared and filed with the city clerk by Attorneys Bronson and Lewis. However, it may lead to something definite and in any case it is the pre- liniinary step to the closing of a chasm that appeared to be growing so broad that many thought it never would be bridged. It is sort of olive branch held out by Mir Tender son through his attorneys and 1t is hoped that the aldermen will accept 1t as such and appoint committee which will settle the matter in a man. ner which will be fair and If possible, satisfactory to all.

POLICEMEN WARNED.
To Be On the Lookout for the Boston Desperadoes. .

Boston, July 24.-Although there was no resumption at daybreak to- day of an organized search by small army of police officers for the re- mainder of the band of desperadoes who were responsible for the deadly shooting in Jamaica Plain on Tues day and Wednesday, the police in all the surrounding cities and towns were urged to look out for any sus- picious characters.
 There was considerable conflict of opinion among the police officials to- day as to whether there were three or four men in the original band which first appeared late Tuesday night in the Jamaica Plain saloon where they used their revolvers with such deadly effect. Up to last even ing it was believe that the only three who appeared in the saloon were con- cerned in the affair but when the body of the man who met his death yesterday In Forest Hills cemetery failed to be recognized as one of those who did the street shooting In Ja- maica Plain Wednesday afternoon, when Di Vieco, who was arrested at the South station Wednesday night was identified as one of the band that raded the saloon and when the report came that foreigners, one of them wounded, had been seen in the out lying districts of West Roxbury sev- eral times yesterday and had stolen two coats and left bloody ones In their places, the theory that the band originally consisted of four men was apparently strengthened. Those holding to this theory also pointed out that as De Vieco, the man under arrest, could not have participated in the street shooting and that the dead man was not recognized as one who was in that affair there must be two still at large, and that these two did most of the shooting in the streets of Jamaica Plain Wednesday evening.
 The district to the south and west of the city in which the men were seen yesterday. is fairly we'll popu- lated but there are numerous patches of woodland. many of them occupied by colonies of foreigners engaged in construction work. which would of fer fairly good refuge for men flee ing from the authorities, notwith- standing the fact that one of them might be severely wounded. It was the hope of the police, however, that the wound would require treatment and thus lead to the apprehension of at least another member of the gang.
 The condition of the citizens and policemen who were wounded by the bullets of the bandits was reported to-day to be more favorable and there was little anticipation of any more fatal results.

 It is suggested as m explanation of the strange phenomenon that in the depths of past ages the forest was in full vegetation and then through some upheaval of the earth it was buried in sand. Little by little water acting on the sand penetrated the branches and solidified

Some time ago the company presented a claim for extra work to the department of pub lie works. but the engineer replied that all this so-ealled extra work was included in the contract and tha. they had been paid for 1t.
