Man Arrested for Drunken- nsss Answers Police Description. Missing San Francisco Bookkeeper Charged With the Murder of Nora Fuller May Be Cap- tured in the East. Special Dispatch.to The Call. KANSAS CITY, May 14—Charles B. Hadley, who iIs charged by the San Fran- cisco police with the murder of Nora Ful- ler, is believed to be in this city. The en- tire local detective force spent the night | looking for him, and has not yet given up the search. A man whom the police now belleve was Hadley was twice arrested here Tuesday for drunkenness and was released both times, on the second occasion but a short time before his alleged identity was dis- covered. Officers were at once started in pursuit of him, but so far have not been able to trace him. The man whom it is now thought was Hadley was arrested by Policeman Larra- bee near the County Courthouse Tuesday forenoon. The prisoner gave the name of | Hutchinson and begged the officer not to | take him to the police station. He sald that he was a member of a theatrical | troupe now ?lnying here_and he did not | want to be locked up. Members of the troupe have since said that no man an- | swering the description of the prisoner belongs to the troupe. Hutchinson was simply locked up for safekeeping, and as soon as he was sober he was released. .Late Tuesday night he was arrested again, this time by Police- | n:an Sneed, and gave the name of Hatton. He was released yesterday morning. A short time after the prisoner had gone Detective Bryant, who had been im- pressed with the fact that he had seen “Hatton's” face somewhere before, got out the circular of the San Francisco po- iice and discovered that the description given in it coincided in a remarkable, de- gree with the general characteristics of | the man that had been released. Within a few minutes after that the search for | tne missing man began. A local newspaper man is positive he | saw Hadley in Hot Springs about January | 1902. TAMMANY 3 CHIEF GOE3 OUT IN IRE Lewis N xon Very Sud- denly Resigns the Lieadership. Officers of the New York Political Club Are furprised. Successor of Croker Refuses to Permit His Colleagues to Honor Him ‘With a Vote of Con- fidence. NEW YORK, May l4.—Lewis Nixon, leader of Tammany Hall for nearly six months, resigned that position to-day at a meeting of the district .eaders, held in Tammany Hall. While the resignation was not entirely unexpected, it was not thought that Nixon would take such pos- itive action until a later date, first wait- ing the action of the leaders to see if they would give him a vote of confi- dence. Instead of this he refused to al- low any vot® of confidence, and went so far as to say. that he could no longer re- tain his self-respect if he remained as leader. The meeting of the district leaders was called at the instance of Nixon, who on Tuesday night sent telegraphic messages to all of the thirty-seven. This action followed a deadlock at the meeting of tne sachems of the Tammany Hall Society Monday, when Nixon's intention of re- taining Thomas L. Feitner as grand sa- chem was frustrated by a tie, there be- ing six of the sachems of the thirteen for and six against the retention, the thir- teenth, George C. Clausen, being absent. The action at that time caused a gen- eral discussion of the possibilities, of Nixon losing control of the organizdtion and the combination headed by John F. Carroll ousting him. Nixon, in an inter- view on Tuesday, said if he could not have the confidence of the leaders he would get out. When Nixon arrived at Tammany Hall to-day all thirty-seven leaders were pres- ent. As soon as the meeting was called Nixon arose and said: “Gentlemeh, 1 have decided to resign as leader of Tammany Hall. This resig- nation is absolute and positive, and will not be withdrawn. I wish it to take effect immediately. 1 feel that I cannot retain my_self-respect aun? still remain the 18. The man got mail there as Hadley, visited the news stands for San Fran-| cisco papers and told a hotel clerk that he had been on the San Francisco Exam- | ner. He fitted the description given by he San Francisco police. 1 | b | FIRM OF PHILADELFHIA TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM | General Greeley Announces the De- cision for the Alaska Wireless Telegraph Project.

SEATTLE, May 14—A wreck occurred | on the Northern Pacific this morning, | in which E. W. Shaw, a fireman, was killed, Engineer W. H. Watson and Brakeman Walton were injured and the | | company suffered a property loss of ap- | | proximately $50,000. The victims of the | accident were members of the crew of an | | incoming freight train, and the wreck | 1esulted from the neglect of the men to | observe a rule of the division regulating the speed of trains within the limits of | the Interbay yards. A southbound freight | ran into a switch engine at the end of a | short curve at Interbay, and Fireman Shaw was crushed to death, the remain- der of the crew escaping by jumping. | ‘ Defies Interstate Commission. i | LOS ANGELES, May 14.—The Southern | | Pactfic Rallroad, like the Santa Fe, will! ! ignore the ruling of the Interstate Com- ! merce Commission on the question of the | ailroad’s right to send citrus fruit ship- | ments over routes selected by the rail- | roads, regardless of the wishes of the | fruit shippers. !

Cor- ' before had blown out all the face of the leader of Tammany Hall. My -decision is unalterable.” There was a moment’s silence when Nixon had finished. Then Michael C. Murphy made a very complimentary speech in praise of Nixon. He did not say, however, that he wished him to re- main as leader. He said that Nixon had done splendid work as the leader and had | he confidence of all the leaders. Nixon umped to his feet as soon as Colonel Murphy had finished and said: 1 dc not desire any vote of confidence whatever."” He immediately left the room, followed by an outburst of handclapping. Once cutside the meeting room Nixon would only say to the newspaper men: “I am out as leader of Tammany Hall, Shipbuilding is my business. 1 am out of politics and am glad of it. T will devote my time to my business of shipbuilding and will talk of that by the hour, but [ will not talk about politics hereafter. The ; cause of my resignation is plain. I could have won out and elected Feitner grand | srichem. ‘but I would not appeal to| Cloker.” | Following the departure of Nixon Bev-i eral of the leaders remained for some time in groups, chatting about the resig- nation and the possible developments. It was announced that a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of district leaders will | be held Thursday, at which time Nixon's | action will be acted upon. There were numerous rumors about the | hall regarding the future policy of thao | organization. ~The most persistent one | and one that was indorsed by several leaders was that there would be no actual | leader of Tammany Hall for some time to come. This was coupled with a rumor | that the finance committee would be abol- | ished, as well as the chairmanship of this | committee. The chairman, who is now | Lewis Nixon and was Richard Croker, has always been the leader of Tammany | Hall, and as such had the handling of the funds of the organization in the political | campaigns. 1 NOTABLE AMERICANS BID REID FAREWELL | Special Embassador to the Coronation of King Edward Honored at a Bangquet. NEW YORK, May 14.—Whitelaw Reid was the guest of honor at a farewell ban- auet given at the Union League Club to- night in anticipation of his approaching departure for London as special Embas- sador of the United States at the corona- tion of King Edward VIL. The banquet was attended by about one hundred gen- tlemen, including many prominent fig- wes in_politics, finance and journallsm nelius N. Bliss, chairman, read a letter from the secretary of the late Archbishop Corrigan, expressing the Archbishop’s ap- preciation of Embassador Relid's pubiic services and regretting that his present irdispesition would prevent his attend- ance at the dinner. Bliss said that this wus probably one of the last letters the lamented Archbishop had dictated, as it had been dictated within a few hours of his death. Bliss then offered the toast “The Presi- dent of the United States,” which was drunk standing and with applause. Other toasts were to King Edward and Embas- sador Reid. The latter spoke at length on the opposition to the sending of this special embassy, and saild: ‘‘But, gentle- men, whoever supposes from this froth on the surface, where the hunters for a campaign issue have been spouting, that the great body of the American people, irrespective of party or race or section, don't with heart and settled judgment ap- prove the purpose of the President in sending this embassy is as ignorant of this generation on American soil as he is of the one that preceded Columbus’ dis- covery.” Sty MINE TUNNEL PENETRATES A BEAUTIFUL CAVERN Subterranean Fairy Chamber is Re- vealed by a Blast in the Iowa Consolidated. MOKELUMNE HILL, May 14.—A beau- tiful cave has been discovered in running a tunnel in the Towa Consolidated mine at Rich Gulch. A description of the cav- ern was brought to Mokelumne Hill to- day by Ami Laidet, the foreman of the mine. The cave is nearly 200 feet under- ground and almost 230 feet from the | mouth of the tunnel. No signs of this cavern appeared as the work progressed in the tunnel until Saturday morning, wkhen the miners found "that the last Yound of blasts touched off the evening tunnel, making a clear opesing into the cave. At least ten miner's inches of the clearest water was flowing out of the rough tunnel. There scems to be a‘sub- terranean leak in the cave, as every at- tempt to reach bottom by sounding has thus far proved futile. 'The cave is in limestone as far as ex- lored. It is about thmz feet long, nine eet wide and four feet high. The walls are covered by highly sulphureted stalac- tites having a beautiful stelliferous ap- arance, showing all colors of the rain- w. It contains three chambers, each divided by walls not more than three inches in thickness. In one of these is a horned stalagmitic figure—a fash- ioned by nature. DR. KILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT.
