Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BANGOR, Me-, April 2.-The fight that
Is being made by former Supreme Court
for Senator Eugene Hale's seat In Con-
gress has assumed an interesting. not to
say spectacular, effect, and promises to
become sensational before the legislative
conventions are called.
A few weeks ago the Powers campaign
was regarded with contempt by Mr.. Hale
and his lieutenants, the general belief be-
ing that the Hale machine could not be
overthrown by anything short Of a poliu-
cal earthquake-such as the election of a
democratic legislature. Lately, however.
Powers activity in the rural districts has
begun to show results that are causing
the Hale men to wear worried look.
Men who claim to know say that there
will be few candidates for the legislature
will dare. If they hope for election, I'd
come out openly for Hale.
Needs at Least Fifty Votes.
The way 1t is figured here the senator
ial candidate will need at least ffty-f1ve
votes in joint convention to win. This is
assuming that the makeup OF the next
legislature is going to be similar to that
of two years ago, with approximately
sixty-three democrats and lightweight re-
publicans in the house. Every one con-
cedes that there will be at least fifty
democrats in the next house Of represent
atives probably four or five democratic
senators out Of the thirty-one The re-
publicans under the most favorable cir
cumstances cannot hope to do much bet
ter than this. in which case 1t would
take sixty-four votes in caucus to nomi-
nate. If the conditions are not as fav-
orable to the republicans this year, If
they lose more than fifty representative
districts and more than the ordinary
number Of senators. 1t will take even
fewer votes to name candidate for
United States senator in the republican
caucus.
The Powers men now claim that they
already have. according to the present
canvass, about sixty votes In the legis-
lature. significant thing is that the
Powers strength Is chiefly In the rural
districts, which are nearly all surely re-
publican. while the Hale supporters are
largely in the cities and towns, which, as
in the case of Bangor. frequently are
carried by the democrats.

General Tie-Up of Freight in

NEW YORK. April 2.-The Harbor
Boatmen's Union, comprising firemen,
cooks, oilers, deckhands and floatmen of
the marine departments of four railroads
entering New York city, went on strike
this afternoon, following the rejection Of

from $40 to SO month and day off
each week
A compromise offer of per cent in
crease in wages, made by the employers

preached. was rejected. Then came the
strike order.
1t is probable that general tie-up of
freight traffic in the 1larbor will follow,
as the 5oatmen are acting in sympathy
with the Tasters. mates and pilots who
went out L, ursday. The railroads in
volved are the Delaware. Lackawanna

SHOT WAS ACCIDENTAL
CLAIM OF MAN WHO KILLED
COMMON-LAW WIFE.
George Williams Locked Up to
Await Investigation of Rose
Burk's Death.

Il shot Rose said a colored man
named George Williams, who resides at
223 Willow Tree alley, when he entered
the fourth precinct police station about
II o'clock last night.
He referred to Rose Burk, colored, his
alleged common law wife, also known as
Rose Tucker. The bullet had entered her
mouth and she died without struggle.
The man was placed under arrest and
locked up to await the result Of an in
quest that is to be held tomorrow morn
ing.
Matthew Smith, a companion of the
prisoner, was held as witness. VII.
iiams plea to the police was that he did
not think the weapon was loaded, and
his friend declared he had told the truth
The police say that Williams and the
woman have engaged in many quarrels
although they had not heard of any trou
BILE in the house last night.
Corroborative Statement.
Mrs. Burks mot ler and two children
were in a room on the second floor of the
house when the shot was fired. They
heard no quarrel, they told the police
and the latter have reason to believe the
man told the truth about the manner In
which he did the shooting.
His explanation was that he and Smith
discussed the size of twgsfevolvers and
they procured several cartridges from a
room on the upper floor, the cartridge
proving the weapon was of .3S caliber
1t was his belief, he stated, that the bull
lets had been removed and he was
shocked when he realized what no had
done.
Supposing he had emptied the cham .
berS of the weapon, Williams said. he
put his arms around the woman and
said to her: I'll shoot YOU He
pulled tie trigger and the bullet ended
her life. y hurry call was sent to the
Casualty Hospital. The ambulance was
hurried to Willow Tree alley, DR.. Will
ltam P wood accompanying it.
AS soon as the vehicle stopped in front
Of the house the physician entered. He
saw at once that the woman was beyond
professional aid. His statement that the
woman was dead was followed by pitiful
expressions of grief from relatives of the
woman and her children.
Rose Burk, the police say, was the
wife of William Burk, colored man
we'll known to them. He has not lived
with her for several years, however,
although he is resident of the south
west section.
Lieut.. F'lather detailed members of his
command to take charge of the premises
where the shooting occurred. and to re-
main there until Coroner hewitt directed
the removal of the body from the house
to the mOrgue.
