Hoeh'a ease to the Supreme Court. The mystery surrounding- th woman was preserved all during the conference.

She gave her name as Mrs. Wilson, but indicated that this was not her real cognomen. She was accompanied by Dr. Montgomery, a Chicago Hoch aympaflilzer. For a time during the conference It looked as if her efforts to save Hoch mast be futile.

Iloch's attorney emerged and announced that Dr. Montgomery and Mrs. Wilson had failed to convince the State's attorney that the woman would bring the money. The lawyer for Horh said, however, that a. telephone message from an attorney known to Hoch's lawyer had been received stating that tne sender cf the mefjaje had to give toward ft vi ng I loch.

The offer was said to be on account of personal friendship for Koch's attorney. Hoeh'a representative had replied that the money, to Satisfy the State's attorney and Gov. Deneen, mut foa either in cash of a certified check. Covered with and breathless, the attorney mentioned by Hoch's lawyer arrived at the State's attorney's office in a short time and showed a bank check for JnOrt. The State attorney insisted that he ought to have the money, but promised that with that mount of cash he would recommend to the Governor that a reprieve be granted.

Hoch's attorney thereupon departed posthaste with the announced intention of caehing the check himself, calling up the Governor to save time. Record Costs $1100. The woman Is said to be wealthy and professed to have become interested In the case from humanitarian motives only. She enlisted in her aid Dr. Listen II.

Montgomery, one of the most prominent physicians In the city. Dr. Montgomery acted as her intermediary In the negotiations At 2 o'clock this morning Jailer Whitman wai aroused from his sleep to answer a telephone ca.ll. Some person who refused to give his name at the time announced that he would appear at the Jail at 10 a. prepared to Turnish money, the lack of which It has been Alleged prevented Hoch from completer the legal records required by the Illinois Supreme Court In case of all appeals.

The records cost $1100. Hoch had $100 and a conditional promise of $400 additional. Because no name was given on the telephone. Jailer Whitman attached little Importance to the notification. But today at the hour named Dr.

Montgomery, with Mrs. Wilson, appeared at the Jail. Their talk with Whitman convinced him they were In earnest, and steps were at once taken for a new appeal to the Governor. After Dr. Montgomery and Mrs.

Wilson left the Jail. State's Attorney Healy talkcd over the telephone with Gov. Deneen at Springfield. The Governor told the State's Attorney to make sure of the money and then to call the executive ofrtce again. The Governor thereupon Instructed Sheriff Barret to delay the execution until 1:50 p.

Mrs. Wilson said she stood ready to advance a portion of the money necessary, to enable Hoch to carry his case to the Supreme Court, and that three persons had last night also agreed lo advance a part of the sum necessary.

In the morning about 3 At that conference the attorneys advised that there is no way of stopping the daily raids by the police of the city. Sam W. Adler of the firm of Cella, Adler Tilles said "We will close down today and remain closed until the Supreme, Court, as a body, shaU have passed on the questions that have been raised by the operation of the track in spite of the new law. "Under the decision of Supreme Judge Marshall, the powers of the police are unlimited and a continuance of racing now would make it unsafe for patrons. "We believe that the fChal word on the matter will be different from that of Judge Marshall.

Our attorneys inform us that the police under the new police bill have absolutely no authority to invade the county and we feel sure that the Supreme Court will so decide eventually. "When the Delmar meeting opened in the face of the new law we stated that our purpose was to test that law. Since then every move we have made has been with that purpose in view. We have acted under the advice of the best legal talent and have been careful. "We wish the test of the recent act of the Legislature to be as thorough as possible, and to that end we have instructed all our employes to assist the authorities in every possible way in obtaining evidence." Chief of Police Kiely could not be seen when Adler's determination to close the Delmar racetrack became known, but his subordinates at Four Courts said that arrangements had already been made for the police to visit Delmar racetrack this afternoon, and they knew nothing to prevent the carrying out of those plans.

Sandv Hook ENGINE DERAILED, FLYER SPEEDS ON Fast Burlington Train Runs Quarter Mile With Trucks Hitting. Ties. TRACK THE RIVER Weight of Great Locomotive Holds It on Rails and Prevents Wreck. Passengers on the fast Burlington train Irom St. Paul to St.

Ixmis, which was due at I'nion Station at 2:30 p. rn. Thursday, had a thrilling experience, which evoked earnest expressions of gratitude for a safe delivery. The trajn was making its normal speed a 4o-mile gait on a stretch of track which follows the windings of the Mississippi, about eight miles south of Han-nibul. when the wheels of one engine truck left the track at the end of a curve, and the truck moved along the ties in a line, making an acute angle with the rails.

A dense cloud of dust enveloped the cars and indicated to the passengers that something was wrong. The engineer did not feel the jarring truck behind him at first, because of the great weight of his engine. The train ran 330 yards, nearly a quarter of a mile, before coming to a stop, and at no time was any shock noticeable in the coaches. When an examination was made it was found that two of the derailed truck wheels had sunk so heavily into the ties throughout the hazardous run that a large number of ties were cut completely in two. But for the weight of the engine front of the tender and the rigidity of the close-coupled train behind it.

the cars must inevitably have left the track, in which event a twenty-foot plunge into the Mississippi was inevita- The passengers had ample time to look for the caufe of the accident. They found the rails to be new. exceptionally heavv, and so well spiked that the entire track had moved as a solid framework two inches to the westward for nearlv a fifth of a mile, by reason of the deep-cutting flanges on the un-tracked wheels. But just at the end of the long curve, where the derailment occurred, the inside edge of the tee had worn away a fraction of an inch under the friction and blow incident to the train wheels striking the beginning of the straight stretch of track. The effect was to allow the wheel flanges to sink in far enough to strike the top of a fishplate which is bolted under the tee to hold the joint of the two rails rigid, and.

under the rapid movement, the wheels lifted sufficiently for the flange to clear the ton of the rail. What Caused Accident. The accident was clearly to no one's negligence, as the closest Inspection would not have prevented It. But the lone- run of a derai'ed train, without mischief, was a splendid testimonial to the value of perfect modern railroad and train equipment. The many of whom were St.

Louisans. returning from the North and far West, were full of jubilation over their escape, and not a bit imna-tient over the delay of two hours, which was necessary to enable a wrecking train from Hannibal to put the criop'ed engine on crutches and get it out of the way. The train reached Union Station shortly after a o'clock. PLOTlGlsfSulTAN BCCHARKST. Roumania.

The deputy sheriffs who are serving Sandy Hook squatters, on the east side of the river, with notices to vacate Wig gins Ferry property by next Tuesday, are meeting with defiance and firearms.

The party of oloeiuls which left the East St. Louis City Hall at 9:45 o'clock was in charge of Chief Deputy Sheriff Charles Cashell. It consisted of Deputies Cashell, Mehring, Scheer, Wil liams, Scliaefer and Phllpot and Dep uty United States Marshal Ward and Private Watchmen Fahey and KIrby of the Wiggins Ferry Co. They reached Sandy Hook, above East St. Louis waterworks, at 10:30.

and first servcxl writs on those whose houseboats were in the water and moored to the bank. They all agreed to move by next Tuesday. The first houseboat visited on the bank belonged to a man named Franklin. He at first said he would not move. Then he said he would move if help was given him in getting his boat into the water and it was towed somewhere else.

He was told that he would be helped into the water and a tug would tow him out into the river, but he would have to find a new landing place himself. Dared Men to Come on Boat. J. E. Xeely, who has two or three houseboats and a carpenter shop, was standing Inside the screen door of a new houseboat, set on stilts five feet above the ground, in which he lives with his family, when the deputies approached.

He had a shotgun in his hands. He dared the men to come on his boat, and said he would shoot them if they did. Cashell told him they didn't want to come on his boat but wanted to serve him with some papers. Neely said he would take the papers. He opened the screen door and stepped out and took the papers from Cashell.

At the same time he declared he would not move and dared the officers to molest his property. Cashell told him if he didn't move by Tuesday they would certainly molest his property. i "You might as well begin now," said Neely, handling his shotgun. Raises Gun; Threatens Deatli. Schaefer tried to climb up on the boat.

Neely stepped out of the door and raised his double-barreled shotgun to his shouider and pointed it at the group standing below. "The lirst man who attempts to get on this houseboat." he said, "will be killed." The. deputies spread out and drew their revcKers. "Now. Neely," said Cashell.

"I'll tell you this. We've got enough guns In this bunch to make your house look like a sieve. We don't want to kill your wife and children. Out if you don't put down that gun you and your family will have to take the consequences." Neely. who had partially lowered his gun.

reised It again to his shoulder and said: "If you attempt to get on thU houseboat I will kill you." Neely Taken by Force. "Netly," Interposed Deputy Marshal Ward, "you are making yourself liable to be sent to the penitentiary. W'hy don't you talk like a man? Put down your gun and come out and talk with me." "Are you a United States Marshal?" ashed Neely. "I am." said Ward. Neely net his gun.

inside the door and wtooped down to talk to Ward. Cashell and heer seized him and dragged him to th ground. Schaefer and Phllpot rushed Into the boat house Just in time to wrest the gun from Mrs. Neely, who had caught It up. Mrs.

Neely and the children began to scream. and Philpot searched ihe houseboat for other weapons, but none. At the back door three dogs Li tacked them. They drew their revolvers to shoot them. Mrs.

Neely threw herself between them and the dogs and shouted that they would have. to her before they should kill the dogs. In (he meantime Neely had been hand cuffed. Mehring etarrel.wlth, the East Louis Station anTth others moved away from the Neely houseboat, leaving Mrs. Neely vowing that she would defend the property Tuesday with her life.

They started to cross a slough, fifty feet wide, on a board walk to the island home of Charles Bieser. Bieser came out of his houseboat with his shotgun in his hands and sat down in front of the structure. Inasmuch as they had a judgment against him. which involved immediate ejection, they decided to attend to his case on their way back and went on to the boathouse of Mayor George War ren. Warren was standing at the screen door.

His shotgun was hanging on hooks near him. He was told that they had come to serve some papers on him He said If they were only going to serve papers all right, but if they were going to destroy his property he would shoot the first man who stepped on his house' boat.
