'Superintendent M.irsion Campbell

believed to bo n continued i-lTort on

All Night Search
For Grace Fruitless
Reward Notices Posted Around
. Island By United States
Marshal
Ahor one more night of searching
for Anderson Cliace, the escaped mur
derer Is still at large. Chief Mc
Duffle and his men were out till 4
o'clock this morning, and' a very
thorough senich wag made of tho
Kallhl district In 'which Urnco was
supposed to huvo been Been. No trace
of the wanted man was found and
nothing was heard of him at all last
night.
It Is becoming tho general opinion
that Grace has not moved from tho
hiding plape ho took up at the tlmo
of his escupe. lie Is thought to have
hidden in some spot only known to
himself and a few others, and to have
made arrangements for a supply of
food to be left thero In advance by
Lumo friends. When the, hue-and-cry
subsides a little, the negro muy
make an attempt to get out ot the
country.
Whether the reward ot $150 which
has been offered for the negro's nr
rest will tempt someone to give him
awa, la not known, but there Is a
clunte that It will.
HesldontB of tho Kallhl district
have taken to revolver shooting at
night, and every opening before re
tiring to rest a bunch ot household
ers are In the habit of filing salute
of six shots In order to ware Grace
If he happened to bo near. One man
appears to have defective cartridges,
as sometimes, after one or two shots,
there Is only a clicking heard by the
neighbors, and then the shells ex
plode luter on.
"I hollow It would be to tlio licit
Intetcsts of the city to have tho locq
Men of the Federal building changed
to th Jrwln site. I luvu not nd
oca ted li mid have not thought of
advocating a change turn'."
This was the statement nude thl
im riling liy Governor Fronr In re
sponse to a question us in whether
the Territory oltkhils were using In
llticnca to sccuri a rvoiisldcratlon of
the Mnlinka rl'i
Th9 (lot ci nor declared ulthout lies
Ita Ion that a chiingo would be ro
iclved by himself with the liveliest
titling of sitlsfnctlou hut at the same
tlmo denied that he had any Intention
of suggesting a chniiRr now to the uu
tlinrltles at Washington.
Governor Friyr declared that as fa.
as he knew theie una nn nbwlute op
position to the Mahu'ci silo upon the
part of nn Tenl'orlnl official.
"I hWI0e that the Irwin site Is the
best for the l-iMoral building" assert
ed the Governor. "IJiiless-elte-wlioJe
block extending to Kort street could
lis seemed the Federal htilldlntr nn
outlined will tuko up practically the
wholo site. It would bo choked and
perrasirliy lacking In the essentials
from the artistic nnd architectural
viewpoints "
Tho statement of tho Governor ro
Bardlng his present opinion In regard
to the Federal building site leaves
little doubt that he would support any
movement thnt might promise of se
curing a r consideration of tho site
nnd the final abandonment of tho Ma
hukn slto and the placing of tho build
ing on the Irnln lot.
There was a scare out Maklkl way
last night, when some shots were
heard around near I'llkol street, and
many people thought that the police
had cornered Orare. Investigation,
however, showed that some practical
Joker had thrown a handful of cart
ridges Into n heap ot burning rub
btsh, and the explosion did the rest.
High Sheriff Henry has a lot of
men out still, and tho hills and val-
les are being searched. However,
It Is thought that the reward will
Induce someone who Is providing the
negro with food, or keeping him In
! formed of the movements of the po
j lice, to "squeal," and then the rest
will be eaiy.
