two miles behind a runaway horse lasr

himself to his fate.

Three hours after the girls absence
was known her father swore out a war
rant for Cohen, charging abduction. The
police and the waiter deserted wife
are conhdent that he eloped with Miss
De Janon, and Mrs. Cohen accompanied
Mr.. De Janon and detectives to New
York to try to n some trace OF the

Mr.. De Janon is now a stock broker
in New York.
There is some fear that tho girl,
when she realized her position, COM

two letters received from her. One was
put under the door of her fathers room
in the Bellevue-Stratford and the
other was waiting for him at his New

In these letters the girl said that
she could not live any longer with

and that she probably would be dead
by the time her father received the
letters. She wrote that she intended

Park or the Schuylkill river
Although Miss De Janon's father and
grandfather are unwilling to believe
that she has efoped with Cohen, the
police of every Eastern city have been
furnished with descriptions of the
couple and asked to look for them.
The girls absence was noticed first
by her governess, who sent for her
father. He at once communicated with
the police. Within a very short time

The wife said that she believed that

to New York to guide the detectives to
some of the places frequented by Cohen
when he worked there.

Such is the case ih Alabama, where Gov ernor Conner is going around the state at tacking Judge Jones of the federal court calling him all sorts of names and insin- uating worse because of the latter's of- flcial action in the railway cases two years ago. The only issue in the Ala bama campaign is whether there shall be adopted constitutional amendment which shall embrace all of the many stringent statutes passed by recent leg isatures against the sale or possession of any sort of intoxicating liquors. It is hard to see the connection With rail way rates and there is none except that Governor Conner feels that he can make capital for the amendment by attacking the judge and ravamping some history.
 What is really at stake In Alabama is the old, old question of states rights. Gov ernor Conner insists that Alabama is .

That is ad- mitted. but the whole controversy is to whether the celebrated rate cases were purely state issues or involved federal construction.

IL IS used as stalking horse and hence II mas merely an academic interest save as 1t involves bitter personalities
 It is strange coincidence that Jones was formerly governor of Alabama, that he and Conner both took the oath of of lice in the same building where Jefferson Davis was first inducted into the presi- denial office, and both men followed the Confederate flag. The matter is not sec tional nor wholly personal. It is a uues- tion of what is law, and it seems that Judge Jones has both the law and inc sober-minded people of Alabama with him as well as those of the whole coun- try. Alabama isn't suffering from federal domination and Governor Conner h gettinr the worst of 1t.
