Hd stood oy her loyally from the start
and it was his s rong influence with
Clarkson that brought her in winner

for the place and at one time it looked
as if they would prevair but the Clark
sonCuney combination was in the as
cendency It is known that the post
mastergeneral was not particularly
inclined to Mrs Burchill In fact there
was time when he was strongly against
it He did not believe in giving such
important offices to women arid Mrs
Burchills perseverance wearied him
yet he came around gracefully in the
end and acknowledged that she was the
very person for the place Mrs Bur
chill will leave for her home on Satur-
day

ris of Mississippi was at police headquar-
ters tonight and stated that he had been
refused warrants at the Tombs police
court for the arrest of Mitohell and Don-
ovan and had sent a telegram to that
effect to Governor Lowry In reply he
received the following dispatch
Need not arrest and detain tho parties
as fugitives from this state as you sug
gestedWo will await investigation of the
grand jury Ascertain facts as instructed
and report to me Further instructions
mailed to you yesterday
Detective Norris said he had been in
the city two days acting under instruc-
tions from the governor His original
intention was to arrest Mitohell Donovan
and others who took any part in the
fight as fugitives from Mississippi
The refusal of the judge to issue war-
rants changed the programme and Nor-
ris now awaits the mailed instruotions of
the governor Sinco his arrival here
Norris said he has been engaged in get-
ting the names addresses and all possible
information about the participants in the
fight from the principals down He
branded as a lie the story that ha
was to get 250 for taking the
Kilrain party safely through
Mississippi to New Orleans The detec-
tive also udded he would be sorry to see
Muldoon get into any trouble The
wrestler did him a favor some years ago
and he remembers it
The reason I want to arrest Mitchell
is that he is an Englishman intending to
leave the country was his answer to a
question
I have looked for him two
days and have failed to dis-
cover his whereabouts I was
in consultation with Governor Lowry in
relation to tho fight on Juno 28 and 29
and July 3 I rode on Sullivans
train as far as Lexington and
from there sent an assistant to the
end of the journey I am an expert
telegraph operator and wa3 to keep
Governor Lowry posted on what was go-
ing on but the wires were cut Gov-
ernor Lowry is indignant because the
fighters passed through his state and
then turned back and pitched their ring
in Mississippi
The detective says nothing further can
be done in the matter until the Missis-
sippi grand jury meets in September
Then about eighty men will be indicted
It is said here tonight that Muldoon is
still in Long Branch
After Mitchell and Donovan
New York July 18 Deteotive Nor-
ris appeared at the Tombs police court
today with a requisition from Governor
Lowry of Mississippi for the arrest of

Sullivan Norris has no requisition for
Sullivan Kilrain or Muldoon Norris
arrived this morning and Inspector
Byrnes detailed Detective Lauttner to
assist him upon the applications for war-
rants for Mitchell and Donovan before
Justice OReilly at the Tombs court
The justice declared that warrants were
unnecessary as the arrests could be made
without them The two detectives then
started out with the Intention of making
the arrests at once

Attorney Goff said today that the requi-
sitions for parties and principals in the
