DENEEN KICKED
Objected to the Betrayal of His Friendl
ir Senatorial Fight

in Senatorial Fight
Springfield, ILL.,, March 26.-Gov.
Deneen got busy early today and
checked a plan to elect him United
States senator before nightfall. 1t
was only by dint of tireless efforts.
beginning at 2 a. m., that the gov
ernor was able to halt the plans Of
the leaders. 1t was in no gentle
manner that the governor declined the
tcga his friends and enemies alike
would thrust upon him. Every men,
ber CT the legislature friendly to
Deneen was first summoned and in
formed that under no circumstances
could the governor forgive a friend
who voted for him.
Warned by the Executive.
Man by man., those lukewarm te
the governor were called in and told
in forctble language that if the neces-
sary majority We're cast for him the
governor would appear on the floor
of the house and denounce those re-
sponsible as traitors to the Republi-
can party.
The governor is said to have shown
such feeling that some Of the legis-
lators fed from his presence. AS a
result of his effort he is believed to
have weakened enough Of the allies
to prevent an immediate stampede.
The utterly demoralized forces of ex-
Senator Hopkins, staggered by the
developments of the night, gathered
courage for the fray. although they
soon took fright when they learned
Speaker Shurtleff had declared his in
tention of keeping the joint session
balloting until midnight, unless a
choice is reached earlier.
This was regarded as creating an
opening for Col. Lowden whEh is
strengthened by Cob. Deneen's atti-
tudc.
Oglesby Is a Storm Center.
Developments in the coup to make
Governor Deneen senator came Sc
cretly last night, masked by humor-
GUS coup probably without parallel in
the Springfield political history.
Throughout the session Lieut.-Gov.
Oglesby, who will succeed to the Of
flee of chief executive in the event
Deneen becomes senator has been the
active center Of social life at the cap
ital. OF late the functions that have
given life to Oglehurst, the mag
nificent Oglesby estate just out of
Elkhart, have taken on political as
pect.
. Consequently when yesterday after
noon the runor grew that there was
a significant gathering of party chief
tains at Elkhart and early evening
brought an innocent invitation from
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for the rep
resentatives of the press to dine with
him at the historic Oglesby manor
trains could not move fast enough to
transport the correspondents to the
spot. Correspondents who keep IL
linois posted on the doings of the
solons abandoned the capital almost
to a man, relying on the gathering Of
faithful at Elkhart to develop the
news Of the day and the interurban
railroad to bring them back where
telegraphic facilities would enable
sending out the news. There was
hospitality and good cheer unlimited
at Oglehurst. but no suspicion of
political roundup.
Regardless of Springfield rumors to
the contrary. neither the lieutenant
governor nor any one else at Elkhart
knew of any political powwow.
Meantime, while the scriveners made

Question II Woman Can Be Held for
Crime in Pennsylvania As She Only
Seems to Have Participated In
Ohio.

Pitsburg, March 24.-The confer.
ence held by the Mercer and ALE.
gheny county authorities as to the
next move to be made in the Whitla
kidnapping case was concluded at noon.
1t was then decided to take James
Boyle to Mercer. Pa, at / o'clock, but
to detain Mrs. Mercer here, as there
are no accommodations for woman
prisoners in the Mercer county jail.
James Boyle and his wife were
brought to the Allegheny county Jail
from Cleveland, Ohio. last evening,
They enjoyed good nights rest.
Getting Ready.
Sharon, Pa, March 26.-With James
Boyle locked up at Mercer and his
wife at Pittsburg and Willie Whitla
safe at home, the Mercer county au-
thorities are now bending every ef-
fort to unearth all possible evidence
in the case, with the design Of show
ing that Mrs. Boyle acted as princi-
pal with her husband in Pennsylvania
in kidnapping the Whitla boy. and as
such would be equally guilty as her
husband of kidnapping, under the state
laws. So far Mrs. Boyle seems only
to have appeared in the plot in Cleve-
land, and whether she can be held for
kidnapping under the Pennsylvania
laws is question the county officials
are trying to determine.
Some years ago Boyle escaped from
the Jail at Mercer. A strange feature
of that incident was his subsequent
capture at Cleveland. The Mercer
county grand jury meets on the third
Monday in April. 1t is probable the
case will be tried in May.
James Whitla, the father Of the kid
naped child, has recovered $3.50 Of
the $4,000 paid over to the Boyles
to recover the child.
Found Father.
Chicago, March 26.-That William
McDermott, retired member Of the
Chicago fire department, is the father
of Mrs. James H. Boyle, who with
her husband, is charged with the kid
naping of Willie Whitla, was con-
firmed by the father today. Informa-
tion from Cleveland indicating strong
ly that the prisoner arrested there
was a girl, who before her marriage.
was Anna McDermott, was brought to
William McDermott and his son of
the same name, who is bank clerk.
last night. Although the information
seemed conclusive, neither father nor
son would definitely admit that the
woman was their daughter
and sister.

HON. JOHN F. VIVIAN
Slated for Surveyor Of Custons...Dr

Reports from Washington indi-
cate that John F. Vivian has
landed a promise of the appoint
ment as surveyor of customs at
Denver and the reports also state
that Mr.. Vivian is trying to land
DR.. Hubert Work of Pueblo as
his successor as chairman of the
Republican state central com.
mittee. Whether these reports are
true or not is hard to determine
at this time. 1t is known that
former State Treasurer Bent has
been discussed for some time as
Mr.. Vivian's successor, should Mr..
Vivian secure the fedral appoint
ment. However, it is also known
that DR.. Work has been a factor
in Republican politics for the last
two years. He was chairman of
the last state convention which
was held in Denver.
The report from Washington
would indicate that Mr.. Vivian
is working for the federal appoint
mont with the understanding that
