Dover, March 2.State Senator James Fra-nk Allee, state chairman of the union republican party, and Dr. Louis Heister Ball, congressman-at-large for Delaware in th present house of representatives and chaii-man of the regular republican committee of Kewcastle county, are the new United States senators. Mr. Allee gets the long term. Tn following 'was the offer of the Addicks nipn: To the minority republicans of the general aa eembly of Delaware: Gentlemen: The union republican organization, through its representa tives in the general assembly, hereby convey to you the following proposition for the election of two republican senators, namely, that the re publican members of the leglslatum of each of the. republican organizations of Delaware meet in separate caucuses and by a majority yote therein chose each a candidate for senator to the senate of the United States, the said candl- _ date to be chosen unconditionally by each caucus, j st"udied their unions 'and their methlds reserving only to the majority the right to the long-term senatorshlp. This proposition is based on the withdrawal of J. Edward Addicks as a candidate before this legislature, and Is made as a further patriotic concession for republican harmony in Delaware, and with a desire to strengthen the hands of a republican administration In the senate of the United States. i J. Frank Allee, Caleb R. Iaytrn .T. Kdward Addicks. Hxeevtlve Conmilttee of the United Republi can Party. "Anybody but Addicks." Thu.' J. Edward Addicks has really withdrawn as a factor in the senatorial fight before the present legislature and the regular republicans have won their fight of fourteen years for "anybody but Addicks." as against the leader of the union republican slogan of "Addicks ot nobody." W . Addicks. while losing the plum again by adverse action of the fifth legis lature i^ince he entered the fight and com pelled to stand aside and see what he declared would never occur, in this state, the election of republicans to the senate of the United States other than himself, has apparently lost none of his remark able nerve, for after acknowledging the statement issued under his hand to-day, ', he was asked: "you* are still in Delaware politics, are you not?"

DEFENSE OF THE UNION =&*&: THE PRESIDENT The Request Also Has a Political Side to ItMr. Tawney Is Opposed. Prof. Gray Says Labor Organizations Saves Us From Something Worse. New York Sun Special Service. Chicago. March 2."Give us the labor union with all its murders, bloodshed and lawlessness rather than permit the pres ent social conditions in this country to continue." . Professor John H. Gray, head of the de partment of economics at Northwestern university, thus stanchly defended the cause of organized labor yesterday at the First Congregational church of Evanston. Professor Gray recently returned from England, where he spent several months investigating labor conditions under a special commission from the United States department of labor, and this fact gave his words additional force: "I am not an advocate of murder," he continued, "but the only thing that will stop the unjust remuneration of.labor is the union, and we should 'thank God that we save ourselves from something worse." Professor Gray compared _the labor unions of other countries with those of the United States, especially of Chicago, to the disparagement of the latter. "The labor unions of- Chicago are the worst in the world. I have been in both England and Germany and have closely are far superior to those of our home or ganzations. V A "The average union man in Chicago knows more about the labor problem than his employer. Although he often can nei - their read nor write, he hears the prob le m discussed. The employer, on the other hand, has many things to think about, and cannot give his time to the labor ques-. tion. This problem will be solved, when each class educates the other." The question of wage remuneration was also discussed by Professor Gray, and he clashed with Professor J. Scott Clark, who lately declared in the same church that $200 a year was sufficient to. maintain a laboring man in comfort. -, --" , , .

New York, March 2..There is excite ment in certain circles here over.the al leged looting of the Hagaman estate from which it is said several millions of dollars are missing. There are also suspicious circumstances surrounding Mr. Haga man's death. In the unsavory affair the name of "Dr." -R. C. Flower figures prominently. Mrs. Frances Freeland Hagaman Dela barre, whose second husband was the late Theodore Hagaman, has given out a state ment. She says in part: "When Mr. Hagaman.began to realize that the chances were against his re covery he told me he wanted to give me what he had that there could be no ques, tion about it after, he died. He said h did not want to make a will, as no lawyer seemed able to draw a will whnch another lawyer could not brea¬ even Samuel J. Tilden. He had SJs partner come to see him. and told him he wished to liqui date his business. In the course of a few days -Mr! Hagaman's share of the business was taken out. , ' "It came . in-- the form of a check for $572,000, which Mr. Hagaman turned over to me, saying he was sorry it was not more. I gave a check to Dr. Flower for $200,000 after advising with Mr. Hagaman and at his wish." This money Mrs. Hagaman says was "invested" in the Blue Ridge Mining com pany. District-Attorney Jerome has not yet asked for the exhumation of the body of Theodore Hagaman, but the authorities at Poughkeepsie declare they are ready to do everything in their power to aid an inves tigation into the strange circumstances surrounding the rich man's death. Flower Ic An Adventurer "Dr." K.-C. Flower, accused of looting the estate is one of the most remarkable adventurers of this generation. '- While Tennessee, .Virginia, the south and west have been the scenes of his wonderful and peculiar promoting and mining deals, the Blue Ridge Mining com pany is his latest venture. The actual history of this man dis counts the dreams of" a, novelist. He has been preacher, lawyer, alleged doctor, patent medicine maker and distributor, lecturer, "faith curist." spiritualist, stock speculator, "magnetic header," zinc and copper smelter boomer. Flower was 1or in southern Illinois and first tried preaching: next the law. then he set out as a physician-and in Philadel phia got into trouble for practicing medi cine without a'licenrt?. ^Flower is not an M.

He started a mammoth patent medicine concern, his" ability to interest people in schemes being simply marvelous. He toured the country in a fine palace car, lecturing and selling medi cines, while his depot in Boston took in thousands of orders and dollars. On one of these trips his car was seized the moment it reached Chicago. Theft it was found he did not own the car. At other times warrants were out for him and detectives hung about his Boston headquarters-while the nimble Flower was floating through the country. He Started the Arena. Through his interest in spiritualism, one Reed, an aged Boston millionaire, was in duced by Flower to establish the huge "Flower Sanitarium." Reed also enabled Flower to start the "Arena" magazine and make his brother the editor. The "sani tarium" entreprise failed and is now the Plaza hotel. Reed died a broken-hearted man. Dazzling Swindles. But the miraculous Flower was jump ing from great scheme to great scheme with dazzling swiftness. Nathaniel Fos ter had Flower arrested in Texas for swindling Harvey Flagler sued Flower for $18,000 on a patent fuel scheme in Peoria, 111. ' Legal chai'ges and scheming kept Flower on the move. Last spring he fled to Mex ico from New York, charged with getting over a million dollars from shady mining deals. But time and his ability to "explain" enabled him to start up again. He came back recently to New York only to find himself in the present scrape. A partial list of Flower's ventures, around which cluster interesting history, include the "Arizona, Eastern & Montana Smelting company," regarding which Flower had to skip last spring from New York the Geyser Mining & Milling com pany the Silver Cliff, Cluster County, Col,, Juliana Mining company the Stand ard Coal & Fuel company of West Vir ginia, and the Blue Ridge Mining com pany.
