Mr Nicoll got back last night from

MANHATTAN BRIDGE SUICIDE.
Man, Wlio May Be "Braun," Jumped to
Death In Kant River.
A man thought to be a former em
ployee of the Sptltdorf Magneto Com
pany, named Braun, Jumped off the
Manhattan Bridge yesterday. His body
was not recovered from the East River.
Harry A. Christie, a photographer of
330 West Fifty-ninth street, was walk
ing across the bridge from the Brooklyn
side and the man who jumped was
about 100 feet In front of htm. Suddenly
he threw off a dark overcoat he was
wearing, and before Christie, who di
vined his Intention nnd shouted a warn
ing, could catch up with him the man
had cleared the rail. Christie ran to It
and looked over. He saw the body shoot
downward, strike the water, then dis
appear In the foam.
Christie told Policeman James A.
Miner and he picked up the suicide's
overcoat. At the station house were

ary and what looked like a pay envelope
with "Braun 115" scrawled on It in
pencil.
At the office of the Splltdorf company
the watchman said the name Braun was
familiar to htm and that he thought
the figures on the envelope were nn
employee's shop number. The name
Urnun did not appear on the payrolls
of last week anil the former records
were unavailable yesterday.
The man as described by Christie was
dark, smooth shaven and dressed In a
dark coat, light trousers and a soft
shirt. He seemed about 37 yeurs old,
weighed approximately 175 pounds and
was C feet 10 Inches tall.

FOUR ALLEN OUTLAWS
AGAIN OUTWIT POSSE
Detectives Lured to Drcakfast
Rendezvous to Learn They
Were Fooled.
FUGITIVES MILES AWAY
Throne Gather nt Itonnokc Jail an
SJdna Edwards Is Locked Up
With Others.
Mount Aiiit, Jf. C, March 24. -That the
Aliens ran at least outwit the Baldwin
Deteotlve Agency was demonstrated
to-day when that organization had visions
of the capture of the four outlaws.
Information came to them that the
fugitives would take breakfast, with a
friend at a specified hour. The detectives
planned to walk In and capture them
without resistance.
However, tho outlaws changed their
plana and ate breakfast several miles
from where thoy were expected to be.
Consequently thedetectlves ore shivering
in the rain in the mountains to-night
and awaiting another clue.
After spending the night two miles
south of the mountains the detectives
started out at 4 o'clock this morning and
were careful to remain at the foot of the
hills where the Aliens are hiding. The
forces both from Hillsvlllo and here
engaged in the raid and felt there was
nothing to do but walk in upon and
quietly take their prisoners.
Of course there was no capture, and
there probably will not be until the au
thorities of Virginia decide that they are
dealing with desperate men of keen in
telligence, quick to shoot, wlio fully realize
what capture means.
It Is believed the detective. were minted
In the breakfast for the purpou of
giving the fugitives an opportunity to
move to some other locality.
The work accomplished coiiHiated of
searching every house at the foot of the
mountains from the Fancy Gap to the
Ward Gap roads and swinging in a olrclo
around the section where tho outlawj
are known to be hiding.
One of the features of the hunt was that
Jack Allen, brother of Kloyd and Hldna
Allen and father of Friel, wus seen riding
through the section where tho outlaws are
hiding. The explanation of his conduct
was that he was searching for his son
with a view to have him surrender to the
authorities. Be evidently doos not know
tlie-son's whereabouts, but is ready to
do anything to save him from the elect rio
chair.
It looks now as though the plan of
driving tha -aliens out of the mountain
nil 1st bn resorted to. Could the piirsueru
cut off their food supply, they might bo
uhle to force them out and catch them in
the cities, where they are likely to find
their way.
Preston Dinttins, wlio was charged with
Sidna Allen with counterfeiting and served
a term in the Federal prison at Atlanta,
returned to this city to-night and talked
of the Allen affnir. He said .Sidna Allen
threatened his life and forced him to mako
the mould for counterfeiting and that the
Aliens had planned to shoot up the GreeiiH
boro Federal court in the event that
Sidna was sent to jail.
Koanokk, Va., March 24. Siduu Ed
wards, nephew or Floyd Allen, took his
first automobile ride on hi arrival here
late this afternoon, when he was driven
from a suburban railroad crossing to
the city jail, where he occupies a cell on
the same floor with the other three pris
oners. When .Sidna jumped into I lie six pas
senger car he smiled with delight. He
was asked if he had ever been in a machine
before and replied in the negative. He
wus questioned concerning hi case and
the whereabouts of tho other members
of the Allen clan, but said the statement
given out while in the Hilliville jsil was
all hu had to say
The prisoner, wlio has been reported
to lie in a weakened condition, sen mud to
1ms hearty and said hu Ml tine.
Edwards, who was uken from the
Hlllsville jail yesterday afternoon, spent
last night in the home of Detective
Thomas Felts at Blair. He was brought
here by Detectives Tom and Iea Kelts
and fiergt. Whitn of a local military com
pany. Although the time of the arrival
of the prisoner was not generally known,
several thousand persons gathered at
the city ju.ll an hour before the train ar
rived and when the prisoner was drivon
up to the building gazed eagerly to catch
u glimpse of tho young man.
Heveral bundled persons who had
gatheied at the ruilroud station to meet
the train bearing the prisoner were (lis
appohitud, since ho was taken off at a
point in tho suburbs,
Detective Kelts arrived to-night and
told of a confession made by Sidna
Edwards whllo he was on his way to
iioauoke, Mr. Felts said Edwards ad
mitted he was standing in tho doorway
of the court house at the time of the shoot
ing anil that, when Kloyd Allen passed
through the door making a retreat, he
asked Hidna for his pistol.
Edwards said ho gave htm the revolver
and that later he found Kloyd Allen in
front of the jail, shot. Kidna then got
his pistol back from Alton. The prisoner
denies having tired once during thn shoot
ing in the court house.

AsquitU Said (o Have Decided On
Drastic Move if Confer

TO-DAY TO TELL STORY
Union Lenders Disagree Over Course on
Minimum Wago Dili Ono
Welsh Colliery Operated.
Special Cable tJ it patch to Tns flex.
London, March 21. Premier Asqulth's
determination to end tho great coal strike
by drastic military measures if necessary
whatever tho owners and miners agree
upon to-morrow, In addition to the fact
that many families actually are facing
death by starvation, is having a quieting
effect.
A determined effort will be made to
morrow to open several collieries In
north Wales, where the strikers are said
to be discontented at their leaders' failure
to gain n substantial victory.
In case the striking coal miners refuse
to accept the mimlmum wage bill at to
morrow's conference between them and
the oiierators, thn Ninety-third High
landers have been ordered to hold them
selves In roudiness at Glasgow to go
anywhere nt a moment's notice. .Similar
orders, it is believed, have been given to
other regiments stationed at different
points throughout the kingdom.
Speeches, by tha leaders of the miners
at meetings in many different places to
day confirmed tho heller that there is
complete divergence of opinion among
them ns to the prospect of a settlement
of the strike, .lames itnnisey MucDon
aid, tlie leader of the Luborlte members
of Parliament, said the men's final word
was that if the Government wanted the
bill to settle the strike passed tlie mini
mum schedule of live shillings a day for
adults und two shillings a day for boys
must be inserted. .
Mr. Sinillie. an official of tho miners'
organiition. indorsed this. Ho declared
Unit notwithstanding a few minor brenkn
wuys tho bulk of tlie miners were more
solid than ever hi demanding the mini
mum of live and two shillings a day and
that tho Miners Federation could not
jiossibly accept anything less.
On tho other bund, Albert Stanley,
M. P secretary of tho Midland Miners
Federation, said he bnlioved and hoped
that a settlement of the strike was near.
He felt sure that some understanding
existed which warranted the Government
in suspending the progress of tho bill on
Friday and calling for tho conference of
mine owners and miners to-morrow.
-James Hanfcsm; M. P., agent for the
Derbyshire Miners Association, was an
other optimistic leader. Ho said he ex
pected ii settlement of tho strike to-morrow,
possibly by agreement and without
the aid of any bill.
A few mine owner who were inter
viewed said S3 per cent of the Scotch and
Welsh operators vroro still obdurate in
refusing to ngree to the minimum wago
principle.
Meetings of trade unionists at Liverpool,
Manchester and London condemned tho
arrest of Tom Mann, tho labor leader, at
Snlford, for urging soldiers not to assist
tlie mino owners if strike breakers were
employed. Demands were mado that
Mann be released on bail and collections
were taken up to raise money for his
defence.
Ihe situation in Wulos to-day indicates
the first serious break in the strikers'
ranks, it Is said.
Notices have been posted in several
North Wales collieries that they will be
reopened to-morrow to any men who are
willing to return tp work. One colliery
which employ 400 men is already running.
At tlie Biymklnult colliery. .North
Wules, 300 miners returned to work yes
terd.iy and brought to tho surface nighty
tons. It is thought tlieso mines will be
hi full working order to-morrow and
this is expected to have a far reaching
effect,
Ah discontent has been growing in the
lost week where strike pay was stopped
or reduced It is believed by some that
many more will follow thn Brymkinalt
miners' example.

Railroad Fare.

miles through tho mountains, to at

Philadelphia, Mnrch 24. Fear of
prosecution by tho United States Gov
ernment In no way affected the play of
George II. Frazler, the sugar trust di
rector, who banished all thought of his
exrerlences In the' New York Federal
court and with bis partner, Charles D.
Jennings, won the title holders cham
pionship for squash racquets at tho
Racquet Club to-day.
Greater Interest than usual was at
tached to the final round of the doubles
championship of the club from the fact
that the holders, William II. T. Huhn
and Harry H. Hodge, had already won
It two years In succession. They had
only to win a third time to make the
trophies their absolute property.
One of the most strenuous contests
ever seen resulted from the meeting
nnd tho holders were beaten by three
games to two. The match lasted two
hours, and In this tlmo 122 hands were
played nnd the winners actually scored
only four more aces than their oppo
nents. BUTT AWAITS POPE'S LETTER.

In Indiana the friends of Prcsidont
Taft asHcrt that he has won the delegalea
lo tho national convention from eight
Congress districts and possibly ten, and
that lie will control the Htata convention
lo-niorrow by 2ii0 votes. That would givo
the President twenty dclegatos to tha
national convention to Koosevelt'H ten.
In Montana on Saturday tho Republican
committee, 27 to 10. adopted resolutions
indorsing President Taft's administration
and commending him for renomlnation.
Friends of Senator Dixon and Col. Roose
velt on the committee later called a State
conference of progressives to demand a
Presidential primary nnd to start a cam

In Colorado Mr. Toft will have 700 dele

Indianapolis, Mnrch 24. Information
gathcrrd by persons that are not directly
Interested In the usplratlonH of cither
Mr. Taft or Col. Hooacvelt Indicates
that President Taft's followers will have
22 of the 30 delegates from Indiana to
the Chicago convention.
Iite to-night ndvtccs had been re
ceived from 1,389 of tho 1,439 delegates
chosen at the Kepubllcan primaries yea
tordny. -
Of these. 7S0 are for Taft and 609 are
for Roosevelt. Tho Indications are that
the returns froniithe other districts will
show President Taft to have at least
200 majority.
The I 'resident's friends carried the
First, Second. Fifth. Seventh nnd Tenth
CongrcMi districts by large majorities.
On the very latest returns thej claim
ell the others except four by' small
majorities.
"You can say with the greatest con
fidence that tho friends of President
Taft will control the State convention
on Tuesday by not less than 200 votes,"
said Ifnrry New, State munagtr for the
President, to-day.
"This estimate is based on returns made
to mo by men in tho different counties of
tlie Stato who are reliable and who would
not attempt to mislead mo. They are
corroborates! by figures received by the
Stato central committee, which is not
partisan in this matter, und by the reports
of tho newspaper correspondents who
have no interest except to be right.
"Net only will tlie President control the
State convention and have tlie four dele
gates nt large, but he will have the dis
trict delegates from eight districts be
yond tlie shadow of a doubt.
"He may have nine nnd he may have
ten districts, but thero Is no question
whatever about him having eight, and on
this basis the delegation will 'stand 20
to 10 in tho President's favor.
"I lielleve ho will have 24, but in order
to bo absolutely right fix tlie number at
20 delegates to Chicago, for I want to he
within tho most conservative limits possi
ble. "Tim friends of Mr, Roosovelt ore
making claims that are wholly unfounded;
they know they have lost the State, out
thoy are crying fraud and claiming a
majority of the delegates for tho effect
that they may crente in other States In
which conventions have not boon held.
"There is not the least basis for tho many
contests that they have prepared and they
nro so groundless that they would not
stand for a moment before any intelligent
body of men.
"All this fuss is to make impressions
elsewhere nnd for that purposo alone, for
they know they havo been beaten In In
diana and beaten through an honest ex
pression of the people's will."
Edwin M. Iee and Charles II. Campbed,
tho State managers of the Roosevelt cam
paign, aro tending out statements directly
the reverso of this by Mr, New, but the re
ports to local newspapers show precisely
the conditions outlined by tho Taft mana
ger, confirming his btatomcnt in almost
overy particular.
In order to make sure New to-day
called up remote county seats by tele
phone and got his figures direct from tho
officers of the conventions. Unless he is
deceived there is no question that Taft
will control the Stato convention on Tues
day. It developed to-day that a letter was
sent out from the Roosovelt headquarters
enrly last week giving instruction or
ad Woe to men who were allied with thn
Roosevelt movement.
In that letter tho workors wore advised
to file contests wherover thero was any
ground whatever for bucii proceedings
and to get the affidavits nf as many
persons us possible to the facts stated.
Acting under theso instructions many
frivolous ohurgeH have been Incorporated
in the contests, somo of them even em
bodying the nets of Tuft men on the
outsldo of tha polling places or conven
tions and hnvlng nothing whatever to do
with the election officers,
