man Boeschenstein and Ernest E.
Hoover, treasurer Of the state COM
mittee, Charles came here Saturday.
After the situation had been gone
ever with Roger C. Sullivan and other
local party leaders, Charles and Nc
Carthy are said to have gotten to-
gether. Satisfied with the result of

home in Carmi. He will go TO Spring
field today.
ELECT LEWIsy THEN DOWNSTATER.
Arrangements have been made for
meeting of the various faction chief
tains at the capital tonight, when it
is asserted the stage will be set TO
give Lewis as many democratic votes

bly, convenes tomorrow.

now than ever before to eject two
democrats" said Charles.
Just how the two or none" program
is to be put over no one would at
tempt to say. It was agreed Gov
ersor Dunno, who has been holding
cut for the Lewis-Sherman plan. may
prove a stumbling block, but the dem
ocratic leaders expect to get the gov
crnor's Endorsement OF their scheme
before the Springfield conference.
We may not be able to do anything
this week" said one Of the would-be
thermometers, but the chances are we
will make a good start. The legis-
lature probably will be in session only
on Tuesday and Wednesday because
OF the engagement to spend Thursday
and Friday inspecting the University
of Illinois at Champaign"

TOWNSEND LOAN
STOCKHOLDERS
TO TAKE ACTION

Directors OF the Mutual Loan As
ISOLATION Of Townsend held a meet
ing last night and discussed the fnan-
cial situation that confronts the as
sociation due 10 the discovery OF a
deficit estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000 at the most. The directors
received reports from a majority Of
the stockholders asserting to the
plan proposed for the appointment Of
Levi l.. Maloney and w. c. Money as
trustees TO conduct and eventually to
wind up the affairs OF the assessment.
Some of the stockholders. Il was said
today. withheld their consent because
they desire an audit OF the company's
finances made by a disinterested au-
ditor. To satisfy the desires of the
stockholders, suggestion was made
by the directors that at a meetin 2
of the stockholders called for Tues
day night next. the stockholders
should choose a committee to select
an auditor to go over the books and
accounts of the association.
Whether or not all will consent 10 the
plan Of trustees TO wind mp the affairs
of the association. or whether somebody
will urge the appointment Of receiver
is not known as yet II Es pointed out
that in the course of time trustees
might work out Of the difficulties and
nobody would lose anything. On The
other hand. if receiver should be sp.
pointed and mortgages be foreclosed, il
would cause considerable inconvenience
and possibly loss to many persons.

HurrleS Away
AUTHORITIES SEARCH
FOR ALLEGED POIS0NER

Taken TO the Pennsylvania Hospital.
Philadelphia, last night, seemingly in a
dying condition from poison, which he
swore was given him by Emmeline
Adams, colored. of Sparrows Point. Md,
Joseph Beard. colored OF Largrove street,
Baltimore. had recovered today and was
discharged.
The police of the Twelfth and Pine
streets station. Philadelphia. are much
exercised over Boards departure His
supposed ante-mortem statement was
taken last night by Magistrate Toughill,
and the Baltimore authorities were
asked to arrest Emmeline Adams. Be
lieving that Beard was indeed dying,
Lieutenant Bauswine did not leave a
man 20 guard him, and was excited
when he was told that the colored man
had gone.
II was shortly after . o'clock last
night that Beard was found uncon-
scious on a doorstep at Tenth and
Rodman street, Philadelphia, by
Booker, a policeman of the 18th and
Pine streets station. Al the hospital
he was revived somewhat, but was
said to be suffering from a severe
case of poisoning.
Magistrate Toughill and McBeth. a
special policeman, took the mans
statement. He had quarreled with
Emmeline Adams over another
woman, said Beard, and told her
he was through with her. She was
waitress on the steamer Penn,
plying between Baltimore and Phila-
delphia. He was a fireman on the
same steamer
On the run up from Baltimore vester-
day Emmeline Adams slipped him a cou-
pie Of bottles Of beer. he said After
drinking them he felt funny" but kept
on working. Emmeline Adams got of
the steamer at Delaware City. but Beard
went on to Philadelphia. While walking
toward the home Of some friends on
Rodman street. he grew dizzy, and thct
was all he knew.
Rush messages we're sent to the Balti-
more police to arrest Emmeline Adams
if she headed back that way Now the
Philadelphia police find themselves in a
predicament. Even If they get Emme-
line Adams, they must find Beard OF
their case falls fat.
