DEMOCRATS MAY SEEK PROBE.
City Committee to Discuss Investi.
cation Today.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 24.-lt was
learned here today that following an
investigation by Democratic leaders
in this city, a Congressional probe
of alleged election abuses will u re
Qucsted following meeting OF the
Democratic city committee called for
today.
Edgar w. Link, chairman of the
city committee and the committees
legal counsel declared yesterday that
no move would be made until after
all the reports made by Democratic
workers had been digested.
The Federal investigation, if re-
quested, will be asked for on the
ground that Democratic Congressional
candidates and Democratic Presiden-
tial electors did not receive credit
for thousands of votes cast in their
favor at the recent election. The "as-
sistance to voters" provision of the
election law is severely criticised by
the Democrats.

The appearance of Whitaker with
his prisoners was the first notice the
Washington police had Of their es-
cape. They have now started Wig
orous lookout for the fifth man. All
of the prisoners are colored. They
said they had chopped a freight"
from Occoquan to the Virginia yards
thence they walked to the bridge
with the intention of coming into the
District.
They were followed from the work
house by three posses of armed
guards, who will take them back to
Occoquan tomorrow.
The negroes would not tell where
the fifth member of their party left
them.

THE ADAMSON LAW.

Announcing that the Southern Rail-
way System lines are asking the
courts to interpret the Adamson law
pending an attempt to enforce its
provisions, Mr.. Fairfax Harrison said:
"Thcre is such an irreconcilable diff
ference between the Interpretation of
the law upon which the lawyers agree
and that the men want that it is ap-
parent that a judicial Interpretation
and clarifcation of the law is nee
essary in the interest of all concern
ed. Quite frankly, we are now unable
to apply the law because We do not
know what it means. We know what
the men want, but the lawyers say
the law does not give them that but
gives them something else which
every railroad msnager knows they
do not want. The men are naturally
disappointed that the question is not
settled, and so are the managers
but we must all have patience anc
good temper and try to avoid pass
ing while we grope our way out OF
the fog"
