REPUBLICANS HEAR TODAY THAT
COL. STOVER MAY WITHDRAW
FROM The MAYORALTY CONTEST
Party Workers Understand That Business Connections
Outside the State Would Prevent Seventh Ward
Councilman From Making Active Campaign
for New Office, if He We're Fortunate
Enough to Win Nomination.
CITY TREASURER JAMES F. PRICE AND
DR.. BRIGGS WILL RUN FOR PLACE

such a situation exists, but admitted
that before the end of this week the
colonel may make formal announce
ment of his withdrawal. They said
they recognize the force of the cir
cumstances which would underlie such
action # taken in view of the fact
that for weeks he has been spending
more than half of his time outside the
city and State
The retirement OF Colonel Stover
from the mayoralty nomination would
leave the field to City Treasurer James
F. Price and DR.. II. W. Briggs Both
those men are making an active can
vass for support. II was intimated to-
day that most of Stovers support
would go to Mr.. Price and that DR..
Briggs would suffer severely in conse-
quence Of the Colonel's retirement. In
addition. it is recognized on all sides
that Price is one of the best cam
paigners in Wilmington and that he
and his friends are working night and
day in all the wards TO line up the Re-
publican voters in his behalf. DR..
Briggs and his friends also are active.
but there are men who are conversant
with the progress of the fight who sug-
gest that their campaigning is not as
effective or as far reaching as is that of
the Price side.

Accuse This PAIR
OF AUTOMOBILE Theft

James Morelli, of No. 900 West
Lake street, Chicago, and John Tay-
lor. OF No. 1888 Kensington avenue,
Philadelphia, are under arrest here
on the charge of stealing a five
passenger Mercer car from Philadel-
phia. Another man, who was with
the two men, early this morning es-
capped arrest by jumping from the
car and running. The two men were
arrested by Patrolmen Ward and
Payne at the Wilmington Automobile
Company garage, at o'clock.
The loss of the car had been re-
ported here by the Philadelphia au-
thorities on March - and while the
name of the owner was not given, the
car carried a Pennsylvania license
similar TO the one on the car reported
lost
Morelli and Taylor have agreed to
return to Philadelphia without requi-
sitiOn papers.

GUNNEN
OF Other MURDERS
Baltimore Police Believe
KrakuS and Montvid May
Have Slain There
WOMAN VICTIM
WAS STRANGLED

AS the day for the trial of Peter
Krakus, charged with the murder of
Francis X. Tierney on March 6, draws
near, Chief of Police Black secures
additional evidence which either con-
meets Krakus and Charles MOntyid
with other crimes or else the finger
of suspicion is directed towards them.
This morning Chief Black received
word from the Baltimore authorities
that a man known there as Charles
and whose description tallies with
that of Montvid, had worked as a bar
tender in that city last September or
October. This man, the letter sets
forth, is suspected Of knowing some
thing of the death Of Joseph Kali
uskey, a saloon keeper, of No. 403 W.
Pratt street Baltimore, whose body
was found in Lake Winans with the
pockets turned inside out. The COM
munication states that Charles was
not seen again until February 2S
when he appeared In Baltimore for a
few hours. Since then nothing had
been seen of the man. Kaluskey was
Lithuanian.
In another letter received by Chief
Black is the announcement that the two
men under arrest here are likewise sus-
pected of the murder in Baltimore OF
Rachel Szerkolovitz, OF Annie Gray, as
she was better known. The woman was
last seen with two men, apparently for
eigners, on January A, 1911, and on the
following day she was found dead with
cord about her neck. The men seen
with the woman were thought TO b,
sailors. but the description tallies witt
that of Krakus and Montvid. In th,
murder of the housekeeper, Miss Gilman
in New Britain, a cord was used.
Whether these two crimes can be
charged against the men will be de-
termined by the Baltimore authorities
who are now working on the case.
! Yesterday afternoon Chief Black re-
ceived a letter from John Schlidow-
ski. of No. 672 North Main street
BrOckton. Mass. who told him that nc
had heard that two men were under
! arrest here and that they had a lot
of iewelry in their possession. He in

Unconhrmed rumors are current in
this city today that Colonel Weller
i. Stover. member of Council from
the Seventh ward, has decided to
withdraw from the racing for the Re-
publican nomination for mayor.
1t is understood that his reason for
having decided to do so is that his
business engagements at present COM
pei him to be out of the city so much
that he has little time to devote to a
canvass for support for the nomina-
ton, and that the outlook is that he
would have still less time to devote
to a campaign for election were he 50
fortunate as to win the nomination.
Efforts were made to sec Colonel
Stover today that the rumor of his
contemplated withdrawal from the
contest might be called TO his atten-
tion and a statement obtained from
him relative to its truth or falsity.
He was out of the city ana II was i'm
possible to see him.
Some his close personal and politi-
cal friends said however, they had
heard of such move being in con-
temptation and were disposed to Gre
dit It in view of the fact that most Of
Colonel StOvers time at present is
spent outside the State and lie has
little time TO devote to political fight.
Those friends expressed regret that

WASHINGTON, March l7.-Mexico
City's foreign population will be ma
terially reduced. An exodus Of non
Mexicans to the coast is now in prog
ress and the State Department .is lend
ing il assistance. All foreigners who
can do so are going to Vera Cruz, where
they can be protected by the American
warships' guns should a necessity arise.
Consul John b. Silliman, at Vera Cruz,
is cooperating with the Brazilian min
lister. who represents the United States
and Carranza and Villa have both been
asked to furnish trains and uninterrupt-
ed transportation to the coast for all
foreigners desiring TO go.
Reports of minor looting by Ia
patistas have reached this city, but
there has been no confirmation of
FL Paso claims that a widespread car
niyal of murder, rapine and robbery
has been instituted by tthe Zapatistas.
In fact. the State Department reports
are fatty contradictory of this condi-
tion, saying that the "city generally
is calm"
The Brazilian minister has been
asked to investigate the report reach
ing the Swedish minister that a num-
Der of Swedish subjects have been
robbed. He will also again impress
on the Zapata commander THAT main

Will ENTERTAIN FOR
HOSPITAL ward Benefit

For the benefit of equipping the
children's ward of the Delaware Hos
pital, an entertainment for which an
especially interesting and attractive
program has been arranged, will be
given by the Junior Chapter of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Delaware
Hospital on Wednesday evening, April
z. in the New Century Club. The
committee in charge. which comprises
Mrs. r. Lindsay Curtis, Mrs. David
ID. Ranken. Mrs William c. Nesbitt
and Miss Emma Bush, is busy arrang-
ing the program, one of the features
of which will be the presentation OF
a series of living tableaux, the sub
iects for which are to be- taken from
framed paintings by old masters and
also from some of the late Howard
Pyle's works.
About fifty young women comprise
the Junior Chapter of the Woman 8
Auxiliary of the Delaware Hospital,
and it is interesting to note that this
organization, which has been in eXis-
tence about eighteen years, is depen-
dant entirely upon its own efforts TO
do the work that it does. Up until hve
years ago this organization supported
n private room in the hospital, but for
the last five years it has also taken
over the children's ward, which is now
supported by the chapter. No appro-
ration is made toward maintaining
the work of this organization and all
that is done is accomplished through
the volunteer work of the members.

FLOODS AND RUSSIANS
Hold Germans BACK
BY the United Press.


PETROGRAD, March 17-Floods in
the valley of the Orzec River have
forced the Germans threatening Prz-
asnyz from the northeast to retire for
a distance of nearly two miles. ac-
cording to Warsaw dispatches today.
Melting snow caused the river to pass
out of its banks, inundating the shall
low trenches thrown up by the enemy
when their forward movement was
begun from Chorzele. There are no
Germans now within seven miles OF
Przasnysz.
Bombardment of Ossowetz by the
German 42-centimetres continues Be
cause df the distance at which the
shelling is proceeding but slight dam
age has been done. To the north the
enemy has made sporadic attempts
TO reach the Niemen. about twenty
five miles northwest OF Grodno.
