NOT GUILTY OF
WHEELER MURDER,
PLEADS W0tTtR
Two Motions to Throw Out In.
dicfment Overruled-" -"Inter-
esting' Defense Promised.

NEW YORK. April ALBERT W
Wolter today pleaded not guilty to an
indictment charging him with having
murdered 15-year-old Ruth Wheeler.
after two motions to throw out the
indictment had been made by his coun-
sci. Wallace d.. Scott, and denied by
Judge Mulqueen. Wolter was remand
ed to the Tombs. Assistant District At
torney Frank Moss says he will be
ready to go on with the prosecution
by April IL.
The police today reported that they
had traced another girl to VOTERS
fat, but are unable to find out what
became of her. The detectives Civ.
her name as Elsie Schwartz, who Is
said to have called on Wolter the day
before Ruth Wheeler was killed
Whatever Albert VOTERS counsel
may be able to do for him after
ward in the way of delay, there
waas no apparent prospect that
he could avoid entering definite plea
to the indictment charging him with
the murder of Ruth Wheeler when his
case was called today in General Ses-
sions Court.
There was every indication, too. that
the prosecuting officials were as deter
mined as ever to make the case rec
ord one for speed in the New York
courts and bring to quick accounting
the youth charged with one of the most
heinous crimes in metropolitan Grim
inal annals.
Wolter's attorney, Wallace d. Scott,
asked If an insanity defense was to be
interposed, replied that the defense
would be Interesting"
Frank Moss. District Attorney Whit
mans chief off staff, will be kept busy
for the rest of the week and all Of next
preparing for trial. Mr.. Moss realizes
that Mr.. Scott, attorney for the accused
boy. viii raise the question Of identifi-
cation the moment the jury box is filed.
Mr. Moss has been told that Mr.. Scott
insists that the body found in bundle
in the yard at 2z2 East Seventy-ffth
street is not the body of Ruth Wheeler,
and that the Identification made by
Miss Adelaide Wheeler, the dead girls
sister. is incomplete and unsatisfactory.
The police. however, feel absolutely
certain that no mistake was made when
they placed Wolter under arrest for the
crime One of the best witnesses, they
hold, is Katie Muller. At first there
was some doubt in the mind Of the
police officials interested in the case as
to whether Katie did not have some
knowledge of the murder Of Ruth
Wheeler.
The girl has told the police that the
day before it is alleged that Ruth
Wheeler called to see Wolter he had
anothert girl caller. Her name was
Schwartz Where she lives is not
known It was quite by accident that
Katie learned about this. Wolter hap
pened 10 drop word about the caller
and Katie asked him
why do you associate with other
girls: thought was your only sweet
heart %
Now the police are more than anx-
ious to find out what has become OF
Miss Schwartz.

TOWBOAT STRIKE
TIES UP TRAFFIC
IN \. !. HARBOR
Fight for Higher Wages May
Cause Loss of Perish
able Freight.

NEW YORK, April New York
harbor activity was considerably di-
ininished in volume today. At mid
night last night strike OF the pilots
and masters on the towDoats of four
railroads was declared. and today the
boats of the companies involved were
going out Of commission Many hun
dreds of men are affected. There are
fears that quantities of valuable per-
ishable freight will be tied up. and re-
ports were prevalent that the strike
might spread to other classes of en-
ployees in the harbor service.
Following the formal beginning of
the strike the masters and mates of
boats in the service of the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Lackawanna. the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and the Lehigh
Valley roads, began delivering their
barges and returning their boats to
companies headquarters and abandon
ing them.
All the other roads entering the
city effected settlements with their
men, who asked increases in wages and
a substantial shortening of hours.
The companies affected by the strike
claimed at noon today that they were
operating about 50 per cent Of their
equipment and that many applications
for the strikers places had been re-
ceived.
The committee of the railroad COM
panies this afternoon issued the fol-
lowing statement:
This committee has been asked
about a rumor to the effect that freight
was being held up outside of New York
and not brought in, on account of the
strike on the tugboats There has been
absolutely no holdup of freight AL
the freight which is not destined for
New York proper. but which usually
passes through here to New England
points, is being diverted by way Of
the Poughkeepsie bridge route. BY this
means the movement of freight is kept
as usual"
There has not been the slightest dis
turbance SO far in connection with the
strike.

ACCEPT DEFEAT WITH I'LL GRACE.

HE Democrats of Delaware making all
- sorts of excuses and they are raising the old
cry that money did it. This is the familiar tune
that causes smile.
The truth is that the Democrats we're greatly
disappointed over the Legislative result They
thought they would control the Legislature and
they had good reasons for their confidence owing
TO the number Of close districtss AS The Journal
pointed out few days before the election, the
Legislature hung a slender thread but hard
work and luck had its effect and the Republicans
got the doubtful districts in Kent and in New
Castle county and OF course that settled it,
The Democrats should accept defeat with good
grace and prepare for the battle two years from
now.
The Every Evening seems 70 be very ugly over
the outcome. OF course il would have been happy
had the Democrats got the Legislature, for il was
bitterly opposed 10 the reelection of Senator du-
Pont. That is the thing that sticks in its throat
Still the Democrats who were 50 eager after the
scalp OF the senator have the consolation of know
ing that they will avoid the scramble that would
have been theirs had the Democrats won the Leg
slature.

HOW DIN WON.

hNE remarkable result Of the New York cleo
- ton is the great falling OF in the Demo-
cratic majority in the heavy Democratic districts
in New York city.
Mr. Dix failed TO poll the vote that Chanler and
Hearst polled in the lower districts of New York
city. 1t seems that Mr.. Roosevelt won Democrats
to Stimson in those districts but the heavy Re-
publican districts in the northern part of the CITY
turned from the Republican TO the Democratic
column.
This and the slump in the upstate counties re-
suited in the defeat Of the Republican ticket In
every county in which bosses of the Old Guard
live the Republican ticket was badly knitted. And
the worst part of it all is that it is not likely that
efforts to bring order out Of political chaos in
New York will be successful The fight between
the factions is evidently to continue Talk among
the progressive leaders is not in the direction of
party harmony. -

CAN'T BLAME TT ON ROOSEVELT.

IT HOSE who say that the blame for the Re-
n publican defeat must rest with Colonel
rRoosevet have a hard time to prove their case.
The drift Of political sentiment was plainly
shown in the special election in Massachusetts
when Mr. Foss was chosen TO Congress in a heav-
lily Republican district, and it was emphasized by
the decrease in the Republican majority at the
Vermont state election and the overturning of
Maine.
All this happened before Roosevelt had plunged
into the fray and before there was any talk about
New Natonalism OF the destruction of the coun-
try if Roosevelt should not be put to sleep. The
drift spread throughout the country regardless of
Roosevelt and in spite of him. The only place,
excepting in Delaware, where the landslide was
checked was in those states dominated by the real
Progressives Of the Republican party. In New
England the only thing ol consequence saved TO
the Republicans was New Hampshire and there
Progressive Republican was elected governor.
The Democrats got a congressman in Rhode Island
anuffhe standpat candidate for governor was
elected BY a greatly reduced plurality In Con-
necticut where the stand-patter had full control
the Democrats won And so il was all along the
line.
In Illinois the conservatives controlled and the
Democrats made tremendous gains. So, too, in
Ohio, where henchman of Foraker's was defeated
by an overwhelming vote and stand-pat Senator
Dick will not go back to Washington. The New
Jersey stand-patters we're utterly routed and SEN
ator Kean, one of the leading stand-pat senators
will stay at home.
Yet in the far western states and northwestern
states the Republicans either held their own or
made gains. except in Iowa where the Stand-pat
candidate for governor had a close call. Dis
satisfaction with the tariff measure and Cannon
ism and Aldrichsm after all were undoubtedly the
causes of the result Of the election. The Re-
publican party will move along progressive lines
and it will not be reactionary.
