REQUISITIoN PAPERS TO --
BIZ SENT FOR FOR THEM

ATLANTIC CITY, \. j., Feb, IL
The local police received a despatch
from Detectives Miller and Malseede
to-day asking that reaUisition papers
be sent at once to Petersburg Va,
on which the return To this city of
William Seyler and his brother,
Orvis. waEted for The murder of
Jane Adams can be secured. This
Is taken here to mean that the
brothers have decided to demand
formal extraditipn and viii refuse to
return othcrwise.
Chief of Detectives Whalen stated
to-day there was no doubt Of the
Identity OF the brothers. Following
their disappearance he was notified
that they had gene to Petersburg.
where they formerly lived. and he at
once had them placed under sur
veillanre, but the detectives were told
not to arrest them unless they tried
to skip town. This action was taken
so that a number of loose threads in
the Evidence against the brothers
might be caught up.
The police insist to-day that they
have a perfect case against the pair
although their relatives claim they
will be able to establish an i'm
pregnable alibi for them wnen tney
are placed on trtaL
Because of the assertions by the
police that they have good case
against the brothers there Is con-
siderable feeling against them. es-
peciaily since the police declare the
girl was first chloroformed. assault
ed and then beaten to death. The
result of the autopsy, however. has
not been made known by the coroner
and probably will not be until the
grand Jury passes upon the case.
later dispatch from Petersburg
states the brothers have changed their
minds about demanding extradition,
and they will come back without a
firht, 1t is likely they will be In jail
here by tonight Coroner Southei-
mer stated to-day that the inquest

SPENT WHOLE
DAY IN DEBATE
Legislature Passes Only Three
Bills But Talks Away
Two Hours.
RAILWAY AND CRIMINAL. N
MATTERS CONSIDERED
Senators Engage in Lively Tilt,
While Delegates Attempts ~
to Stampede
House.

Railway taxation and the procrca.
ton of criminals, imbeciles and
idiots consumed practically tho
entire session OF both branches OF the
Legislature Thursday. Only three
bills were passed. and among those
so disposed of was neither OF those
which had precipitated such argu~~
ment and debate.
The taxation argument in the Sens
ate grew out of q discussion of the
proposed tax assessment commission.
In few minutes, however, it was In
full blast bristiing with economic
teehnicalities and contested features
which would have staggered the
corporation taxes.
For nearly two hours this argu.
ment lasted passing from one side Of
the house to the other like a shuttle-
cock while Senators Keeze1l, Etrod0
Lassiter, Saunders and King delved
deep into the various principles Of
assessment, each fighting all the
others on some chosen technicality.
In the House of Delegates the pros
creation bill claimed equal atfAn=
ton. The women were asked out Ok
the galleries, and the youthful pages
sent from the floor OF the House..
After the most bitter fight during
which opponents OF the bill called
to their assistance all manner OF
parliamentary privileges. the measure
was killed, though at one time those
opposing Its passage were 30 fearful
lest 1t should be enacted that an at-
tempt was made to stampede the
House for adjournment
The bills introduced were probably
OF greater interest than the work
actually accom- pItshed in the Asseru-
