Wnehlngton, Feb. 12.—Congrow-
T. Rainey, of IHinole,
today made ¥ boated reply to the
of William Nelson Cromwell
End his asaoclates concerning the
purchase, made in an
ewer to Mr. Rainey’s accusations
contained In his sensational speech
In the House January 26th. Mr
Rainey said In part:
"I hare not been a member of
this body long, aa terms of service
are reckoned here, but I have been
a member long enough to learn that
to every representative in congress
early la hls career, two methods of
progress present themselves. One, a
particularly easy and pleasant meth
od; the other harder and more dtf
flcult. If you select the first and
the more easy career. It Is only
necessary for yoo tO remember that
you must not antagonise great cor 1
poratlona or men of great wealth
unless you do It In general terms
You must absolutely fall to see evl
deuce of Individual guilt In pul
matters; or If you do see it, you
must keep still-about it. If you
pursue thia course, your stay In
Wlashlngton ¥111 be pleasant and
agreeable. White house dinners fol

ysr of some experience this courst
t opens up for you possibilities of lu
•ratlvs employment and large re
tainers in NeW York city at the close
•f your congressional career, and
•ome times even sooner than that.
~If, however, you come here with
n mors serious motive and select
the other course, you may expect
to encounter difficulties. In the first
place, you must not expect to be In
▼tied to participate In the social
functions of the very rich, even if
you would like to be invited. If
In the discharge of your duties undei
the oath you have taken, you dlscov

to be Tllllfied. abused and mlsrepre

the newspapers friendly to the‘ ad
ministration and you must expect
to be abused and misrepresented on
this floor by the representatives of
the Interests you attack.
On the 26th day of January
discussed at some length on this
floor certain matters pertaining to
the republic of Panama and the con
nection of the present adminlstra
tton and Its advisors with the same.
1 followed It up with one or two
£ shorter* speeches on the same sub
ject later on, and I have succeeded
In bringing upon myself villifleation,
misrepresentation and abuse almost
without a parallel In the history of
the body."
Mr. Rainey said he had been ac
cused of obtaining his Information in
the Panama matter from ex-convicts
and biackmailers.
“The president of the United
States," he said, “finds It proper to
- give to the press a letter addressed
to the representative of an alleged
republic, in .which he refers to me
by name and makes a personal at
tack upon me. The president-elect,
hurrying to this capltol heard also
the signals of distress, and If he is
reported correctly in the newspapers,
responded to me in the speech hi
made on hia way here, he has grossly
mdsrepresentated what I, said.
’T want now to any the the presi
dent of the United States, who seems
at the present time to be reading my

ff®ht.and,.ypn.,t»innot stop me by call
ing me names and by direct!tig at
me a system Of personal abuse and
misrepresentation."
Mr. Rainey denied that he had
•rer asked the New York World for
any Information In his canal inves
tigations, or that they had ever ten
dered him any. He knew of no
reason, however, why he should not
gat Information from the New York
iWiorld or from any other reliable
section of train No. 49, the Norfolk
express on the Delaware division
of the Pennsylvania railroad was
wrecked in the Delmar yard at 2:51

have been .removed from thg wreck.
One has been identlfled as that
of George Davis, of Seaford, Dela

identify the remainder of the bodies,
because they are so badly burned.
They are known to be J. D. Me
Cready, of Wilmington, baggage

express messenger; W. B. Cochran,
Philadelphia, mall clerk; J. W.

About eleven
o’clock Saturday night a negro by
the name of Mayes, whose wife cooks
for Dr. Frank Willis, made an effort
to enter the residence of Dr. Willlisf
first at the back door, and afterward
through the window of Mrs. Willis’
room.
When the pegro was discovered
at tke wtodow a sister of Dr. Wtllls
attempted to shoot at him through
the window-glass, but the baby of
Mra. Willis being near the window,
ska begged her sister-in-law not to
shoot through the glaas as it might
injure the Infant.
Finally the ladlee, who were alone
at home, decided that one should
raise the window and the other do
the shooting. When the first shot
was fired the negro darted under the
house, whore * he dropped some
bundles that he had purchased dur
ing the night. He then ran off In
the darkness.
The alarm being sonnded, s num
ber of persons were soon at the Wil
lis residence and it was not long be
fore the chain gang bloodhounds,
which were nearby, were on the trail
of the negro. He was tracked to
his home In the outskirts of town
and placed under arrest. After be
ing placed Inr the guard house Mayes
confessed that he was the party who
tried to enter the house, but gave
no reason for so doing.
About 10 o’clock Sunday night the
mayor of the town hearing rumors
of violence notified the night watch
man and the deputy sheriff to keep
close watch upon the guardhouse.
About 20 minutes afterwards It wap
discovered that the locks on the
guardhouse dobr had been forced and
the negro was nowhere to be found.
By some It is stated that the locks
were broken open, while others con
tend otherwise. No trace of the ne
gro had been found up to a late
hour tonight. Dr. Frank Willis Is
absent on a visit to Baltimore and
New York. ’

and men were thrown out of work by
the closing of the Shooter Island
Shipyard at Mariner’s Harbor on
SUten Island. The yard, which has
one of the best equipped plants tn
the country, was closed on Saturday
night.
Explaining the reason for shutting
down, Robert Legerle, the superin
tendent, said that the laws here are
killing American shipbuilding and
that It was Impossible to build ships
at a profit under them any more.
He said that the only salvation
for American shipbuilders must be
in passing a subsidy law and until
such law was passed the plant must
remain closed.

day la Battle Line Ten Miles In
Length—The Greatest Navel Dis
play Ever Witnessed at Any Time.
Old Point Comfort, Feb. 22.—
When thn globe encircling batt 1 e-
■hip fleet cast anchor today in the
immense watery triangle, bounded
by Newport News, Norfolk and the
gray old walls of Fortress Monroe,
there ended one of the most spec
tacular and successful cruised in the
history of the world. The fleet an-
chorged after the revlevrat the plase
where It started more than a year
ago and it la home In almost as good
condition as when It began Its 42,-
000 mile Journey, more than twice
the distance ever sailed by any fleet
In the history of the world.
For a week the cities bounding
Hampton oRada have been fleet mad
and the culmination of the enthusi
asm and excitement was reached this
morning when the great battleships
steamed majestically into the roads,
with the flagship Connecticut lead
ing the proceaslon and Admiral
Sperry on the bridge. With the
sixteen battleships was the third
squadron, commanded by Admiral
Arnold, which had been sent out to
sea last week to meet and escort
it home. When the ships cast anchor
in the roads there were twenty-six
in all, of which twenty were bat
tleships.
Saturday and Sunday every incom
ing train and steamship brought an
immense multitude of people into the
cities around Hampton Roads and
the number of sightseers has -never
before been witnessed in these wa
ters. It is estimated that between
20,000 and 25,000 visitors lined
the shores or were in the scores of
pleasure crafts afloat in the roads.
The crowd was even larger than the
great throngs which saw the fleet
depart. People are here from every
State In the union.
The marine spectacle and review
today was something extraordinary,
an event which will live in the mem
ory of every beholder. Early in the
rrVornlng the day 'promised to be
ideal, but about 10 o'clock the sky
became overcast and a light driz
zling rain began to fall, which con
tinued throughout the review. This
marred somewhat the great pano
rama.
The ships filed past the Mayflower
under a lowering gray sky, and at
times the rain and the mist almost
obscured the tail of the fleet, wjijle
the sal uting guns sounded mu (Bed
In the fog. Otherwise the marine
picture was perfect. The review oc
curred at the tail of the Horse Shoe
which lies between Cape Charles and
Cape Henry, eleven miles from Old
Point Comfort.
When the ships were first sighted
coming up through the Virginia
capes, grim and gray looking, they
began to fire the presidential salute
of twenty-one guns, and a vast pall
of smoke hung over the scene. Then
as they filed past the president’s
yacht, each ship fired |twenty-one
guns. Again at 12 o’clock each ves
sel fired twenty-one guns, the nation
al salute in honor of Washington’s
birthday.
At 9 o'clock this morning fifty or.
more excursion steamers, private and
small pleasure crafts of various kinds
left Norfolk and Old Point Comfort
and raced down the bay to meet the
fleet. They were black with people
and covered with Immense signs of
“Welcome Home.”
When the Connecticut arrived op
poslte the Mayflower, the excursion
fleets’ sirens screamed, whistles blew
and the bands played the Star Spang
led Banner.
The Mayflower, having on board
President Roosevelt, Secretary of the
Navy Newberry and Mrs. Newberry,
the Roosevelt family and Represen
tative and Mrs. Longworth, and sev
eral friends, arrived at Hampton
Roads early this morning, having
come down the Potomac from Wash
ington Sunday afternoon.
The Mayflower was in its position
at 11 a. m., at the Horse Shoe tail,
and the battleship fleets ship by
ship, headed by the flagship, steamed
slowly past in review
The ships amid the—thunder of
Wlpj£,.&yns,were in a line which ex
tended for almost ten thlles and* from
the time that the Connecticut pass
ed the Mayflower until the last ves
sel dipped Its flag and the last salute
has been fired, more than two hours
elapsed.
The vessels steamed four hundred
yards apart and the division eight
hundred yards apart.
After the review they dropped an
chor in a two-column formation and
the barges of the admiral’s fleet
carried each captain to the Mayflower
where they were received by the
president. The reception was brief,
the officers returning to their respec
tive flagships. ’
Half an hour later the president
proceeded to the flagship Connecti-
cut, where he w.af .received by Ad
miral Sperry and the officers and
where he remained some twenty min
ute*. r '
The next ship vlstied was the Lou-
siana, wbiqh la the flagship of the
•econd division, and the presltdentlal
party spent twenty minutes aboard
of her. The flagship of the third
dlTtslon, the Georgia, was visited

After killing his children, Hanson

CRIME CONFE88ER
May Be Released for Lack of Evi
dence to Convict
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 23.—Though he
has confessed to many crimes and
laid claim to planning more, H. C
Gray, who has been held by the po
lice several days, will probably be
released. This Is due to the fact
that detectives have been unable to
secure evidence corroborating Gray’s
confessions. On the other hand
they find evidence of a contradicto
ry character, and have come to the
conclusion that the man is a romanc
er.
Gray was arrested here In connec
tlon with safe-blowing and informa
tTon he gave led to the arrest of
several who are believed to be guilty
He had hardly gotten behind the
bars before he began confessing on
a raffle like scale. Police got busy
with the wires, and in twenty-fou
hours Pinkerton rqen and postoffice
inspectors in a half dozen sections
of the country were investigating
the man's crimes. One of them, the
robbery of a postoffice in Nebraska
was found to have occurred as nar
rated, but the evidence was found
to show almost conclusively that
Gray had nothing to do with it. Do
spite his protests of guilt, postoffice
authorities have declined to take him
West for trial
It was Gray who evolved the pro
posed Fourth National Bank rob
bery. The plan was to burrough
under the building and blow open
and then empty the safety deposit
vaultJ Since then he has been pull
ing off experiments in imaginative
crimei that would put the blush to
RaffleB.
One of his confessed schemes is
the invention of a machine by which
he claims signatures may be trans
ferred verbatim from paper to paper
Growing weary of detention, he
brought forth a secret criminal code
today. He gave lo a prisoner who
was about to be released; the follow
Ing inessage to be delivered to
pal:
“Och bllngo due what for de
bench."
It was caught by the police, and
Gray was requested to interprete It
"Why, certainly,” he replied, po
lltely. “It. means keep location of
machine secret till you hear from
_ iv
me.
The prisoner is a good dresser
almost as good in that line as in
talking. He has offered to co-op
erate with the poltee in running
down former associates, and resents
the suggestion that his confessions
are spurious.

Lieut. Moller Tried by Court Martial
in the Philippines.
New York, Feb. 23.—Lieut John
Molhr, of the Eighth United States
infantry, who died at the Belevue
Hospital last night alter shooting
himself through the head at the
Grand Union Hotel, figured in a
court martial case in the Philippines
about a year ago involving a charge
of allowing Filligino prisoners to be
cruelly tortdfed, but he was acquit
ted, although Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Miles, commanding officer of the de
partment of visayas, protested
against the finding of the court.
With Lieut Moller, Lieut. Clare
R. Bennett, also of the Eighth in
fantry, was tried by court martial.
The charges were that they permit
ted the president of Tolosa, Island
of Leyte, and his friends to torture
prisoners. The fingers of the vic
tims were crushed in a vice it was
alleged, to extort information they
were supposed to possess.
Captain E. B. Smith, U. S. A., of
Governor's Island, was asked if he
thought that the court martial had
had any effect on Lieut. Moller’s life
and he said that he could see no rea-
sou why it should have made him
morose, owing to the fact that he
was honestly and fairly acquitted.
