LOTS OF EVIDENCE SECURED, Tr Woo i nn.i It Was Esmus Place That a Man Was Nearly Killed for Telling Eagle About Policy Game. The Anti Policy Society, which has been paying more attention to Manhattan than to the sister Borough of Brooklyn since its organization, made Its first excursion over the bridge in force to day. Somebody ha'd been saying to the officials of Captain God dard's society that policy shops were thicker than blackberries in season in Brooklyn and Superintendent Charles S.

Macfarlane. a brawny Scot from Kilmarnock, took a uum i ber of his deputies over with him. The ob i jectlve point was the place run by a man named John Esmus. Esrau? has been in! trouble for policy selling before. He has a I cigar store at 149 Hudson avenue, which is said to be rdmply a blind for the more profit i able business of dealing in "poke." It was the place owned by Esmus that a reporter and agent of the Eagle invaded some months ago.

The Eagle's agent, not tho reporter, was set upon when it was found that be was giving out stories about the i0J 8 I I I I I Kingston Jurist Not a Candidate Himself, According to Hill's Friends. EX SENATOR KEEPING BUSY. Secret History of the Way the Desire to Stay on Bench Was Gratified. David B. Hill's political associates in the interior counties are quietly circulating the statement that Chief Judge Alton B.

Parker will not be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1904, and that at the proper time Judge Parker will throw his influence iu favor of Mr. Hill for that nomination. Thb report reached the Hoffman House last night, and its truth was indorsed by several leaders who make it their business to keep informed of Mr. Hill's movements. Mr.

Hill developed this situation so subtly that, nobody knew anything about it until Judge Parker appeared to be irrevocably. committed. It is stated, in fact, that Judge Parlrrt ,1 ltvtcfllf Tanlita tVi trim ulir niflcance of Hill's plan until he had been placed in an attitude of indorsement. Mr. Hill is at this moment, however, according to his own friends, taking all possible ad antage of Parkers position to aance his own presidential hopes.

Shortly before the Sorataga convention Mr. Hill saw Judge Parker, who had previously announced that he was not a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Their meeting was secret and nothing has been known of its result until within the past few days. Mr. Hill did not ask Judge Parker if he would accept the nomination in the event of u.s tender jy the convention.

Instead, Mr. rrj, jurt(r0 Parker that, the nomination would undoubtedly be given to him without opposition if he would first indicate th resolution to accept it under such circum stances. Mr. Hill added that he believed Judge Parker would bo elected if he became the candidate, and hat if he were elected his nomination lor the prsideno in would logically follow. Judge Parker's answer was that he de slro! to remain chief judge of the New York Court Tppeals and that the political ouri Ui wu career suggested to him did not tempt him the least.

He then asked Mr. Hill, as he in least, nc men had previously asked his friends to protect him from the embarrassment of having to decide on the acceptance of a nomination tor governor given to him in spue oi ins iippum Tiiri tro i I I i SENSATION IN REICHSTAG.

I I I I I i Little Doubt That Mitchell's Advice Will Be Followed Work Expected to Begin Thursday. PRAISE FORSTRIKERS BYLEADEH Acceptance of Arbitration Will SecuxV Greater Degree of Justice Than Minei Have Enjoyed in the Past. Wilkesbarre. October 20 About 70 delegates of the I'nited Workers oC America from the hard coal mining districts of Pennsylvania met in Nesbltt Theater to day to act on the proposal to settlo the lonK lrik'' by arbitration. The convention was called by President under the rules of the I'nion.

to vote on tho plan which ba laid before it and later explained fully 1 an address. Previous to the assembling of tho convene tion there were busy scenes at strike head, quarters in the Hart Hotel, from where th miners' battle has been directed since tha strike was called. 162 days ago. Before i. clock the miners delegates, the majority of tnenl having arrived on the early morning trains, began to gather there.

President Mitchell was the center of interest and until Ke loft fr fh 1, 1 1 1 The delegates were in the best of humor a they loitered about, the hotel lobby. The feel ing of tho men was evidenced in a brief cou versation overheard when delegates from dis taut points met. Said one: "Well, what do you think of the siluatio now?" "Oh. we are here to finish it. and I guess we will." Every delegate whose opinion was sought ielt that the convention would do whatever their national leader advised.

There was a general cheerfulness in tha facet; of the men. which was reflected in tha demeanor of the citizens of this prosperous city, in and near which of the strikers live, and even the tine, clear weather aeemed to suggest peace and arbitration. Among tile late arrivals lit llo ennvontlot i bree districts as his a.sslsiinu He was of the opinion that the convention would end to morrow and that the nieti will return to work on Thursday. He said the outlook tor) acceptance was bright, but. there were still intimations among the assembling delegatos that there were objections on the part of some to calling off the strike until positive assurance is had that all the men will get back to the positions they occupied befora the strike Detail.

Although the lime set for the meeting of Ihe convention was Hi o'clock, the doors of the theater were not I hrown open until tha clock struck that hour. It did not take thd assembled delegates long to fill the place. Convention Called to Order.

alter the convention call had been I read their reports were made John T. Dempsey of District No. I road his report first. He was followed by Se reiarios John Gallagher and George Hartlein. The three reports showed a total of delegates.

This total will probably be increased after all the credentials are received. While these re I ports were being presented a report was re ceived that President Mitchell would not come to the hall from strike headquarters until after the convention had permanently organized. i It was o'clock when the reading of the suggested that Ihe delegates be entertainoi by songs. This was adopted and for a brief time the big convention was turned into 4 social meeting. "Give three cheers for Mitchell, for Out strike that have won." was sung by Wilkesbarre delegate, and it swept tho con vention with enthusiasm.

The only colorci delegate present was called on for a sons or a speech, and he responded with a typical Southern negro song. or a while longer tha singing was kept up. the men calling fo songs from one another, principally tha "Welshmen, who have reputations as sweat singers. At 11:42. being short of talent 01 the talent, being too modest to come forward, the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock thU afternoon.

Status of Engineers and Firemen Wha) Went on Strike. A phase of tin situation that is causing much discussion among the men to day is the status of tho mine engineers and firemen. According to an explanation given by a miner, there are abaut 2.000 of this class of employes who struck witli the miners or haya since gone out. Having cast their fortunes with the strlk ers. they aro concerned by what seems ta them a chance that the strike will be declared off and that the men will return to work leaving them not provided for.

the non union men who wore hired to keep the pumpa going being retained 111 their places. It ha beer, suggested that the mine superintendents can be communicated with and that the prospect of the striking engineers and miner! returning to work thus be cleared at once. Thero was some talk while the convention was assembling that the engineers and firemen would demand from the convention an accurate statement of what was to be dona with them. Their seriousness on this point is readily admitted, but there seems to be no feeling whatever that they will try to prevent, the acceptance of the arbitration, plan. Mr.

Mitchell said he did not think there would be any trouble in satisfying these men. President Mitchell had prepared an address to the convention, which was given to the press in advance, with the understanding that It was not to be used until delivered. Notwithstanding this agreement the address was published in an early edition of a Buffalo afternoon paper. When this fact was called IU contemplating to enter pontics again. r.

"I am well and happy if people over thero in New York would only let me alone," said Mr. Croker with a tinge of irritation. "You know," returned Mr. "everybody in New York, and particularly in Tammany Hall, believes you are going back to straighten out the links in tho Fourteenth street wigwam."

United' States Commissioner Benedict of the Eastern District held this morning that Chew Do, a Chinaman who was arrested with twenty eight, others a few weeks ago for not having proper papers, must he deported unless he can produce sufficient evidence to show that he has a right to remain in this country. The case of Chew, who is also known as Chew Gee, is a test case. At the time the arrest was made in Brooklyn, about thirty Chinamen were arrested in Manhattan. The raids were planned to oe I I of that was placed in the possession of the police. A charge of dealing in lottery pol icy was made bv Macfarlane against Esmus in the Adams street court late this after noon and there were charges of inte.

They all pleaded not guilty and they were held for nearing. The agents of the society got to the place at about five minutes after noon.

The men were properly distributed so that no guilty person should escape, and the police on pest in 'he Immediate vicinity were called into the secret. The consequence of this arrangement was that Patrolman Sle gert. of the Fulton street Btatlon got the credit for the three arrests that followed.

Macfarlane and Brehme went into the cigar tore. There was no one oehind the counter, but there was an Italian (unknown) in front. Macfarlane. who wore, a jersey and looked like a laborer, asked how he could make a play and the accommodating Italian pulled the string which opened the latch to the door leading to the inner room. Macfarlane and bis man entered and saw thirty men in the room.

Young Esmus was there and Macfarlane grabbed him. He exhibited his shield as a special cEccr and told him that he was a prisoner. The young man made a break for the door, but Macfarlane anticipated trouble and took a firmer grip on his prisoner. There was a brief tussle and in I the. middle of the row the elder EsmuB came IB.

'Get out; boys," said the elder men to the other people in the place. "Get out of here." There was a rush for the rear door, but the men saw two strangers in the rear yard.
