A strong motive for the mnrcter of Mrs. Henry Sussman by her husband in the Glenwood hotel, was revealed when the police records were searched today. tt For nearly two years Sussman,had failed to support his wife and April 27 this year he was arraigned in police court on a charge of non-support. The warrant was sworn out by Mrs. Suss man. A hundred spectators heard the worn an tell the court how she had been mal treated by hei husband. She told how he had failed to furnish her with food or clothes, and how on many occasions he had returned home in an ugly mood and driven hei from the house. He had beaten her time after time, and tho she would take refuge with her own parents for a few weeks she would al ways come back to him and was at all times ready for a reconciliation. Threats for Wife. A public recital of her wrongs drove the man into a frenzy, and he is said to have made vague threats at the time, which frightened Mrs. Sussman's father. On the father's advice she did not live with him after that, altho she occasionally met him away from home. At the conclusion of the trial, Suss man was sentenced to thirty-five days in tho workhouse and given an op portunity to furnish a bond for $200, which would secure a stay of sentence. He was unable to get the bond and served the sentence. Every dav of confinement aggravated his hatred of his young wife, and hewas was always in an ugly frame of mind when Bhe saw him. Her parents and friends think that from the first day ,of his workhouse sentence he planned his revenge. SUSSMAN'S RECORD Under Indictment fox Forgery of Post office Money Order. Sussman is under indictment in the United States court at La Crosse, Wis., wtyere the trial was to have been held this week. Sussman was in a Orosse Monday. About a year ago he is alleged to have forged a postomce money order for $15 at JRiver Palls, Wis. About eight months later he was arrested in Leaven worth, Kan., where he was serving in the united States army. He had asand sumed the name of J. JB. Meyer. He was arrested by Postoffice Inspector Frazier. He was in jail there for a time and then released on bail. He was indicted at Madison, Wis., last Maroh. In June he was arraigned in the United States court in Superior, Wis., pleaded not guilty, and was unable to bail. He went to jail in Superior, ater he was again arraigned in Madi son and furnished bail, his brother, a photographer in Minneapolis, being one of the bondsmen. Sussman then went to work in a Madison hotel, where he remained a short time. When the United States court opened in a Orosse last week he went to that city. He disappeared the same day and has not been seen there since. STORY OF THE MURDER Mrs. Henry Sussman Slain Glenwood Hotel. in the Lured by a love that conquered all fear, and disregarding her father's warning that might have saved her life, Mrs. Henry Sussman, 656 Girard avenue N, went with her husband to the Glenwood hotel, 5 Washington ave nue N Tuesday night and was mur dered cold blood. The lifeless body of the pretty young woman, who was but 19 years old, was found on a bed in room 39 in the hotel vesterday afternoon by Maud Thomp son, a chambermaid, who entered to call the woman whom she supposed was asleep. A slight smile was on thelooked face of the dead girl and as tho loth to awaken the sleeper from a pleasant dream the maid touched her gently on the hand. Horror that nearly bound her to the sport crept over the maid, for the hand was cold and stiff. With a supreme ef fort she mustered her self control and rushed from the room to tell the pro prietor of the tragedy that had been en acted there. Deep Wound in Head. A hasty examination by the police and coroner showed a deep wound in the left side of the head. A blood stained pillow told the rest. No weap n was to be found and only the pres ence of the murderer was required to iak the picture of the tragedy com plete. While the police looked on this scene, Henry Sussman, the husband, was fleeing for his life with many hours the starcrimethwhich of police. A Thi compares in many details with the brutal murder of Mil he Ellison by Nathan M. Biggs in the National hotel, July 10, was probably committed late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. Early Tuesday evening Sussman, who has not lived with his wife for many months, called at the home of her par ents and asked her to accompany him to La Crosse, where he is under bonds to appear in court soon, to answer to a charge of forgery in a few days. I- Begged Girl to Stay. i A. Messenger, the girl's father, has always suspected that some day Suss man, in a fit of passion, would kill his daughter. Hoping to prevent any such tragedy he called her to one side. J' "Tor God's sake don't go, Fannie," he pleaded. "I'm afraid he will do you harm." The daughter hesitated a moment. COFFEE WAS IT People Slowly Learn the Facts. "All my life I have been such a slave to coffee that the very aroma of it was enough to set my nerves quiv enng. L. 1 r ffra(luall.y kept about a year losing my health i? but I used to say 'nonsense,' it don't hurt me. Slowly I was forced to ad mit the truth and the final result was that my whole nervous force was shat- !t- tered. "My heart became weak and uncer tain in its action and that frightened me. Finally my physician told me, agocoultd tha I must stop drinking coffee osr 1 never expect to be well again. 'IE de a i wa for the very thought of the medicines I had tried if\ so many times nauseated me. Of y\ course, I thought of Postum but could W nardly hxxns myself to give uo the cof _ij fee. Finally I concluded that I owed E it to myself to give Postum a trial. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious. nourishing, rich drink it was. Do you know I found it very easy to shift from the coffee to Postum and not mind the change at all. Almost immediately after I made the change I found my Betf better and as the days went by I kept on improving. My nerves grew sound and steady, I slept well and feTt strong and well balanced all the time. New I am completely cured, with the old nervousness and sickness all gone! In every way I am well once more." Name 'given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison, for" health Is the greatest fortune one can have, ^".There's a reason*'* ^Thursday -Evening, choosingbut betweenold husband and father the love wonlevinjs Sh turned to her husband and said she would go. No one knows the movements of the two after that, until they arrived at the Glenwood hotel, shortly before 11 o'elock that night. They pfobably at tended some theater, for they came in just after the Washington avenue play houses closed. Sussman walked up to the desk in the large office, while his wife remained near the entrance. He registered the names "Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tyler." They were then taken to their room by Hitchcock, proprietor of the hotel. The room was on the second floor, on the Washington ave nue side. When the proprietor left them they were apparently in good spirits aud.npthing aroused the least suspicion. 9* No one knowS what follows, but it is believed that the murder was not committed until at least an hour later, for the victim was undoubtedly asleep when the fatal shot was fired. Be side the bed on which the victim lay was an empty bottle. She hadindustries. probably taken the contents. The liquor made her drowsy, and she fell asleep after pulling some of the outer bed covering over her. The Fatal Shot. Once she was asleep, the murderer lost no time. Taking the revolver from his pocket he carefully placed it to her head, aiming so that the bullet would pass thru the most vulnerable spot in the brain and then pulled the trigger. As no one in the hotel heard the shot, the murderer probably took the pre caution to cover the revolver with a pillow. Then, determined to see thegone. effects of his deed, he removed the pillow and stood beside the bed long enough to make sure that his victim dead. Escape was the next thing, but as no one had been aroused he walked out into the corridor, down the stairs, and out in the open air, where night made him safe for the moment. While he made his way thru the dark est streets, the fifty or more persons in the hotel slept peacefully, little real izing that under the same roof was a chamber of horror. Five Hours of Silence. For five hours the police were in ig norance of the crime because of the kindly heart of the chambermaid who went to Mrs. Sussman's room. She first went to the room at noon, intend ing to make up the bed. Ignorant of the presence of death, and seeing the light shining on the dead face, the maid walked to one of the windows pulled down the shade. She then left the room and did not return until 4 p.m., when she learned that the woman was dead. Identification of the dead woman and placing suspicion on her husband as her slaver were the results of a rapid a ad most intelligent police investiga tion. Seeing the woman dead on theheld bed with an empty bottle by her side, and unable to see the blood-stained pillow because of the darkness of the room, the hotel proprietor thought the woman had committed suicide. The de tectives sent to investigate the case summoned Deputy Coroner Irvine, who soon dispelled the suicide theory. But this left a deeper mystery, for the real name of the victim and the man who took her to the hotel were not known. On the Slayer's Trail. Acting Police Superintendent Mealy detailed every detective at headquar ters on the case, and the work of iden tifying the murderer and his victim be gan. Railway stations were guarded and everyone answering the description of the murderer as given by the hotel people was carefully watched. In the meantime the body was re moved to the county morgue. Here every article of clothing was carefully gene over to find some mark of iden tification. These, however, had been re moved, nd the only marks were the initials "L. T." on the underclothing and Uie name of a St. Paul department store stamped on the shoes. Nothing could be made of these and the case dark for several hours. Deputy Coroner Jrvme immediately conducted an autopsv, finding a 32-cali- ber bullet in the brain. The autopsy also showed that the young woman would in a short time have become a mother. This fact is thought by some of the detectives to have furnished the real motive for the crime. Father Sees Dead Daughter. Early in the evening Coroner Kistler visited the morgue. He had been fur nished with a description of the mur dered woman and suspected it was a young woman he had known since child hood. He recognized her and at once told her father, A. Me5senger The fath er, unable to rid himself o the fears caused by his daughter's action of the night before, knew what had hapDened, and he hastened to the morgue. He rething mained a few minutes bv the dead body of his daughter and then went to police headquarters, where he gave all the in formation he could. He told of the last meeting with his daughter, the time and other facts that would aid in running the slaver to earth. From him the police obtained an exhopeless act description of the fugitive mur derer, and telegrams were at once sent thruout the northwest, asking police men and sheriffs to arrest Sussman. Sussman is a Jew, 20 vears old. He is five feet eleven inches tall, has dark hair and a long face. He wears neither beard nor mnstache. He is well known in Minneapolis, having worked for hisdoubtless brother, I. Sussman, a Nicollet ave nue photographer. He married Fannie Messenger four years ago. At the time of their mar riage bride and groom were but 16property years old. The marriage was not a happy one, and many times the unhap py wife left her husband and went to live with her parents. She continued to love him, however, and her parents could not persuade her to renounce him. Sussman has a bad reputation with the police. was arrested in La Crosse a few weeks ago, charged with forgery. pleaded not guilty to thr charge and was released on bail. He was to have had a preliminary' hearing in a Crosse this week. Mrs. Sussman was well known and re spected. Because her marriage was un happy, she had the svmpathy of all her acquaintances.

Consequently Cuba has a larger proportion of wild land than any state or territory of the union, many times over. I costs noth ing to hold land, and for that reason it is held. The natural result is that there is an immense amount of dissat isfaction as there must always be in a countrv where most of the people have no permanent anchor.

Then the licenses on theference, That covers it all and, as you can see, it alwavs and forever bears upon the industries of the peo ple and never in a single instance upon what we in this country love to call the unearned increment. System Atrocious. "The licensing system is particularly atrocious. I follows the old Spanisli lines, and to illustrate: Suppose vou go into the country and buv a pig. You get it for 50 cents and think you have a bargain, but when you bring it home they charge you 75 cents for a slaugh tering license, and your bargain is all "Why, since the war the value of land in the island has gone up from 200 to 900 per cent, and all because there is no equality of treatment therebe cause land is the one untaxed thing a man can own. "Lands cannot be broken up into small holdings, because for one thing, it costs too much to make the trans fers. All deeds go back to the original grant from the crown. I have seen a deed for a piece of land sold for $4,000 and the deed cost as much as the land, there being hun dreds of pages setting forth every transfer from the beginning in detail and all charged for bv the notaries who made it out, and who have the charg ing system down to a fine point. Don't Want Annexation. "S o, while the price has gone up, because everybodv thought indepen dence would bring great prosperity, the transfers have been fcw. and those that were made were in most cases for large tracts. "The people do not want annexation to the United Statesthat is, the land less people do not. They want some of th rosy prospects realized that were out to them when the war for indisposed dependence was in progress. The men who own the property want annexation, and so do the foreign owners of lands and railroads and mines and other con cessions. They want it for the reason that they know there is no hope of bet ter conditions under Cuban control. "The sugar and tobacco planters want it because practically all their output goes to the "United States, and as it is, they pay every year into the United States treasury over $40,000,000 in customs which otherwise would re main in their pockets. The tobacco trust also wants it because it would save money on all tobacco brought from Cuba, but the sugar trust does not because if the duty on sugar were to be removed it would all be refined in Cuba before being shipped to this country and sold directly from the Cu ban refineries to the jobbers in this country and the trust would not get a chance to lay a hand upon it. I Would be sold as the sugar from the beet sugar factories is now sold in this country. Annexation Only Hope. "As the tariff now stands, refined sugar has to pay such a heavy duty that it does not pay to import it. Hence the trust, having all the refineries, gets all that conies from abroad and refines it in this country. If Cuba were to be annexed the sugar trust would have no raw sugar to refine except that which comes from G-ermany and other Euro pean countries and that would not be enough to enable it to dominate the market. "But it is perfectly apparent that there is no ultimate hope for the island except in annexation. With such a population in such a dissatisfied condi tion there will be nothing but war as long as the natives are left in control. They want what they thought they were going to get when they were fight ing against Spain, and as any man can see they are not going to get it, or any else, except a chance to work at small wages for the comparatively small group that owns everything. This for them is exactly as it was before the war with Spain, and there fore in that climate it will always be easier for men to bushwhack for a liv ing than to submit to intolerable and labor conditions. The only real chance the island has lies in union with the United States and American laws that will enable an industrious man to acquire a home of his own. Roosevelt Knows It. "Mr. Roosevelt understands it and while for political reasons he would have preferred to refrain from intervention, and he may still fry to put off annexation by one expedient or another, he knows that if he does not intervene there will not be enough left in the island in a few months to make a note of. Under the Piatt amendment that would mean that the United States, by not stopping the plundering and burning, becomes re sponsible for the damages and in any court of international arbitration would be made to pay. "So he has to intervene or run the risk of either paying big bills to for eigners_ owning property in Cuba or of war with some one or more foreign powers over his alleged wanton neglect to protect that which we under the Monroe doctrine, hold no foreign na tion may protect. I is not a nice posi tion for the president to be in, but I am satisfied that there is no way out except for the United States to take full control of everything in Cuba and that is what I expect to see done."

Couden of the United States battle ship Louisiana, in command of the American squadron in these waters, is ready to land a forc4 a moment's notice. Ready to Seize Government. Messrs. Taf and Bacon, arrived early at the American legation, prepared to receive the delegations charged with the arrangement of the arbitration con but it was late before any of the Cubans presented themselves. The commissioners are determined to give the opposing factions here a chance to get together, but their feeling that the government officials are not sincere has been strengthened by an unsatisfactory interview with the commander of the rural guards with the object of learning if this force could be depended upon to maintain order if arbitration failed. His promise to do so was not obtained. If a landing of American forces is required, Secietary Taft has decided to take over the government instantly. He has received authority,from President Roosevelt to take this extreme step, in which event he wiir proclaim himself governor. Praises Zayas. The secretary believes that compli cations would arise if" he assumed the governorship jointly with Mr. Bacon. Mr. Taft's assumed governorship will be his capacity as secretary of war and not as peace commissioner. His progra-n would be consistent with that announced last night in that the occupation of Cuba would only be for the period covering the holding of new general elections and the establish ing of a new government on a firm basis. The attitude of Senator Zayas, presi dent of the liberal party, toward the negotiations and his efforts to maintain order in the rebel camps are praised by Messrs. Taft and Bacon. He was told last night that if arbitration is begun under the new conditions proposed by the liberals the latter must not count on obtaining all the terms suggested in Mr. Taft's original note to President Palma. The senator answered that he realized this fact, but he was willing to take the chances. The radical moderates are still in dulging in warlike talk, tho the con servative minority of the moderates are towards conciliation in order to prevent intervention. I is believed that the result of the arbitrataion con ference will not be known until tomor row. Negotiations Useless. After conferring with Messrs. Taft and Bacon for an houT today, Senator Zayas said that Mr. Taft had received a letter from Senator Dolz, president of the senate, proposing that the "fib"-' erals and moderates negotiate together, as proposed yesterday, thru commit tees of six, representing each party, but suggesting that if differences arise the negotiations cease entirely. Commenting on this Senor Zayas said that inasmuch as differences must arise he sees no use of even beginning the negotiations. Rebels Are Active. Official reports received today show that the Beibafe jap '"active at many points, stealing horses and arms, no tably at ^uanaba^oajfi^ampo Florida, Batabano and X'aMMrias. The gov ernment commandant at Cienfuegos reports that the rebels are preventing the introduction of forage into the town. A report received from the governor of 'Matanzas says that the rebels in the provinces are seizing arms -and horses everywhere. Complaints are being re ceived from all quarters that the reb els are not recognizing the terms of the armistice. Taft Demands Order. Havana, Sept. 27.The threats of violence, such as dynamiting the prop erty of foreigners in order to force in ternational complications, was con demned by Secretary Taft today in con versation with government officials. He told them that if they were determined to compel the military occupation of the island, they could accomplish their object without holding anarchistic meetings. The secretary also said that affairs had reached a stage where persons ex pressing violent sentiments in public were not fitted to treat for peace. Confidence in Rebels. Mr. Taft believed the American com missioners can count on the co-opera tion of the maiority of the rebels in the field in support of a temporary American government if Palma and his followers should desert and leave the exi fating government a derelict. Secretary Taft has also received in formation that General Eodnguez, com mander of the rural guards, personally would endeavor, in the event of a cri sis, to give the support of the rural guards to the Americans, but Acting Secretary of the Interior Montalvo is said to have informed his friend that such will not be the case. In anyFRESH event, Mr. Taft feels certain that he has a' sufficient force here to control the situation, and that, with the men who will be available within a few days, he could police the whole island. SHAMELESS DEAL WON FOR HEARST Continued From First Page. the complimentarv vote of seventeen delegates, making 450 in all. The nomination of Mr. Hearst was made in the face of the bitterest oppo sition ever waged in a demociatic con vention in this state. The minority, which cast its ballots for Mr. Sulzer, has known for several days that it was defeated. This fact was made sure in the last session, when a test vote on the maiority report of the committee on contested seats showed Hearst support ers in control. Under the guise of advocating the candidacy of Mr. Sulzer, several of Hearst's opponents, amid storms of cheering and hissing, denounced and' arraigned the man they knew was to be the party's candidate in the most re markable series of speeches ever hurled at a man to be named for the highest office at the gift of a convention. Oockran I Acrobatic. The advocates of Hearst answered these attacks, the most of effective of the utterances in his behalf coming from Congressman Hourke Cockran of New York, who declared that Hearst was not his personal choice, but that the demand that he be nomin ated had come from every sec tion of the state and was not .to be denied. Lewis Nixon was unanimously elect ed as permanent Chairman, and he at onee called upon Congresman W. Bourke Cockran for the report of the committee on resolutions and platform. Nearly every paragraph read was ap- ^P plauded, notably that denouncing the Jewish massacres in Russia, Tnere Were cheers for the paragrhp extending1 felicitation to William Bryan, but the demonstration was brief. The lat form-twas adopted unanimously. 5 Jerome for Hughes. District Attorney William Travers Jerorfle of New York is going to bolt this Hearst convention and nomination and stump the state for the republican candidate for governor. When Mr. Jerome was informed of the nomination of Mr. Hughes, he said: /'That's good. I'jna. for him, heart and soul." "It is fine, fine," he'continued. "It will put the fear of G6d in the hearts of some men. I shall be very glad to stump the state for Mr. Hughes." A prominent and w^ell-known Tam many office holder, when he heard that Hughes was nominated, threw up his hat and exclaimed: Other Dems in Line. "Thank God. I have never voted a republican ticket in my life, but I shall this year. And what is more, have twelve relatives in New York who are voters and democrats and I will guarantee here* and now that every one of them will vote for Hughes." Many other Tammany folk who have been loyal to Murphy spoke openly their satisfaction at the nomination of Hughes. When the news reached Buffalo that Hughes had been nominated, the Hearst boomers grew serious. Several anti Hearst men declared that a good demo crat could more consistently vote for Hughes than for Hearst. One of these was Henry W. Walker, who organized the Bryan reception and called the meeting to order at Madison Square Garden. He said: I will vote the republican ticket." ROOSEVELT'S MASTER WORK Nomination of Hughes and Strengthen ing of Party Credited to President. Journal Special Service. Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Sept. 27. By the same stroke of masterly gen eralship that brought about the nomi nation of Charles E. Hughes for gov ernor, President Roosevelt, operating thru Congressman Herbert Parsons, the new state leader of the republican or ganization, brought about these things: The creation or an entirely new party organization, built upon the ruins of the old one the reconciliation of all factions by the complete humiliation of every old-time boss, conspicuous in the past in the management of party affairs the utter rout and demoraliza tion of the Odell forces, the Higgins "kitchen cabinet" and every other potent faction which has contested for the control of the party machinery the entire reconstruction and improve ment of the personnel of the state com mittee and the abandonment of the useless legislative branch of that body which at times has proven both danger ous and turbulent the obliteration of all old combinations, which have now been welded apparently into harmo nious combination, signalizing only the potency of the president himself.
