HAY PLANS NO CHANGES.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. March 29.
(Special.) Lieutenant-Governor Hay
14 tonight ho would continue the
same policy he had followed aa Lieutenant-Governor;
that he would make
few. If any changes, and If any
were made It would be for cause.
PASO ROBLES. Cal.. March 28
(Special.) Samuel Q. Cosgrove, Gov
ernor of the State of Washington, died,
here suddenly at 3:80 o'clock this
(Sunday) morning.
Heart failure was the immediate
cauae of the Governor's death. Al
though "his condition had recently
been reported as improving, the Gov
ernor had really been growing worse,
and two days ago he took to his room.
Although conscious of his weakened
condition, death was sudden and there
was no opportunity for a last farewell
between husband and wife.
Broken by Strain of Campaign.
Blight's disease had marked Gov.
ernor Oosgrove for a victim over eight
months ago. He broke down in health
during the Washington primary cam
paign, retiring to his home at Pomeroy,
Wash., in September, and was brought
to Paso Robies Hot Springs shortly
after the election in November. Al
though Governor Cosgrove improved
slightly under the treatment here, the
strain of the trip to Olympia to take
the Inaugural oath was too great and
an Immediate reaction set in.
Wife Overcome by Grler.
Mrs. Cosgrove. worn out from her
months of constant attendance upon
her feeble husband, was overcome by
her grief, but late this afternoon had
recovered her poise sufficiently to
make the preliminary arrangements
for starting home with the body. It
has been decided that Mrs. Cosgrove,
accompanied by Mr. and Mr. t i'
Anderson, of Seattle, friends of the
Cosgroves. will leave Paso Robies to
morrow (Monday) morning at 8:10 on
the northbound train for San Fran
cisco. If that train Is on time the
funeral party will he ahi .
with the Portland Express leaving
bibuu m i.av monaay afternoon.
Funeral Train Here Tuesday.
This will bring them into Portland
late Tuesday night and a hurried trip
will be made to Olympia, the capital
of Washington. It is the desire of
Mrs. Cosgrove to have services held at
the Capitol and later the remains will
be removed to the family home at
Pomeroy. These arrangements, how
ever, are subject to change, as the
Governor's son has been telegraphed
to look after affairs in Washington.
For several months prior to his elec
tion as Governor last November, the
late Mr. Cosgrove was in poor health,
chiefly due to the unaccustomed strain
of campaigning. He kept up his work,
however, until September, when he"
was' forced to return to his home. Im
mediately after his election he was re
moved to the Paso Robies Hot Springs
In the hope that he would recover his
health.
Baths Give Onlj Temporary Keller.
Although in December there were re
ports that the Governor-elect was dy
ing, the mineral baths did relieve his
condition to the extent that he felt it
safe to return to Washington in Jan
uary to be inaugurated Governor. The
trip, .made at the time of the severe

SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 28. (Spe
cial.) The Senatorial deadlock In the
Illinois Legislature will take a back
seat during the next week and it is
now expected that Albert J. Hopkins
will be kept on the anxious seat for
some time to come. The time of the
lawmakers will be taken up with other
things, the. most important of which
will be the waterway bills. The end
of the deadlock Is not in sight, and it
is predicted that the end will not come
during the. present session of the
Legislature.
As the situation now stands, the
storm center of activity for the next
few days will be in Chicago. Before
departing from Springfield, the "anti"
leaders declared that the attempt to
break the deadlock will be renewed
this week, and that the fighting will
be carried on with intensity. The
present plan of Speaker Shurtleff is
to have 12 or 15 ballots a day in the
hope of unlocking the deadlock, but
most of the wise heads assert that by
Tuesday the plan will be changed and
the Assembly will settle back on the
one joint ballot a day basis.
Speaker Would End Struggle.
The Speaker is said to feel that the
voters are holding him responsible for
the prolongation of the deadlock, and
this is supposed to be the reason for
his desire to ballot several hours a day

CARS ON SUBWAY
FOR WOMEN ONLY
NEW YORK TRANSIT COMPANY
STARTS INNOVATION.
Plan Is to Facilitate Movement of
Passengers During " Rush "
Hours of Day.
NEW YORK. March 28 ( Special.)
Although the Idea of having separate
subway cars for women doesn't seem to
meet with the-approval of the Interbor
ough Rapid Transit Company, a decisive
test of the plan will be made on the
Hudson tunnel .system beginning next
Wednesday morning. If it is found ' to
work satisfactorily in adding to the ac
commodations for passengers or facilitat
ing the movement of trains, it-will be
made a permanent feature of the line.
William G. McAdoo, president of the
Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Company,
in announcing his plan today, said that
when the Idea was suggested first it did
not seem feasible, but, after studying the
problem, he decided it well worth testing.
The special cars for women will be
run only In "rush" hours to begin. They
will be attached to all trains leaving Ho
boken between 7 and 9 -o'clock in the
morning, and those leaving Manhattan
between 4:30 and 7 o'clock in the even
ing. The porters now at each station will
pay particular attention to the last cars
and their women passengers.

RUEF'S COUNSEL ARRESTED
Frank J. Murphy Charged With Re
ceiving Stolen Property Alleged
He Has) Data Said to Have Been " "
Taken From Burns' Office.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 28. Follow
ing the startling developments yester
day In the bribery-graft cases, when five
men, including the private secretary of
W. J. Burns and four officials of the
United Railroads, were arrested in con
nection with the .alleged purloining and
copying of documents from the offices of
Burns and the District Attorney, the le
gal offices of the United Railroads were
forcibly entered and the private safes of
Patrick Calhoun and Thornwell Mullaly,
his assistant, were drilled open today
and their contents carefully examined.
The forcing of the safes was a con
tinuation of the search last night, when
agents of the District Attorney made a
dramatic raid of the offices of the
president of the United Railroads, and
followed Calhoun's refusal today to
open them. The examination of the pa
pers in the safe was barren of results,
according to the searchers.
Restraining Order Ignored.
Just as the search was almost finished,
Stanley Moore, of counsel for Calhoun,
appeared with a restraining order signed
by Superior Judge Murasky, enjoining
the agents of Burns and the District At
torney from proceeding with their work.
Acting upon instructions from Assistant
District Attorney . James -Hanley, the- mn
refused to recognizee, the order of the
court and continued their search.
Another development of the day was
the arrest' of Frank J. Murphy, asso
ciate counsel for Abraham Ruef dur
ing Ruef's second trial, who was re
cently tried and acquitted of the charge
of attempting to bribe a prospective
Juror on the Ruef panel. Mr. Murphy
was taken into custody on a warrant
charging him with receiving stolen
property. He was immediately re
leased upon $2500 bail. It is alleged
that Murphy received some of the re
ports and data said to have been stolen
from Detective Burns' office.
Burns Says Men Were Bribed.
Following the search of Calhoun's
office, Detective Burns said:
"The copies of reports and other data
gathered by us in the bribery -graft
cases, found in the offices of Patrick
Calhoun and his attorneys, and the con
fession of the men arrested yesterday,
fully Justify the action taken by us and
furnish convincing proof that my men
were bribed and sold the secrets of the
prosecution to the United Railroads."
Detective Burns stated it was not
alleged the papers were stolen from his
office, but copies made of them, which
were then sold to the United Railroads
