IZ Stevenson, Vlte-l'resideut in Gro
"ver Cleveland's administration, to
-day replied to the recent statement ?f
President Taft to the effect that the
'panic of 1--1-3 was caused by the elec?
tion of Cleveland. Mr. Stevenson, in
S statement, said:
"The assertion of the President that
unmistakably upon Cleveland's elec?
tion, capital and Industry took alarm
and business was disorganized is. in
the light of history, astounding. The
McKinley tariff law was then in op?
eration, and the Democratic victory
?f 1 sS>3 was th'e emphatic protest of
the people against the injust.es and op- .
-presslon of that tariff.
"The panic began long before the
Inauguration of Cleveland, and as
President Taft admits, two years be?
fore the enactment of the Wilson'
tariff. I
"The President says, the Wilson J
thill was In sight above the horizon!
the morning after the November elec- j
lien of 1?92, and capital became!
alarmed, etc. Strange . indeed that the I
people should suddenly become alarmed
Sfl the morning after election at what I
they had done after deliberation, try J
?cart* a million votes the day before.
It was the McKinley tariff that was I
?in sight above the horizon" on the
morning before election of 1*93 and!
resulted in Cleveland reset sing 277 j
electoral votes to 143 for Harrison. 1
"The President will doubtless have
sjecasion to remember that it was the
oppressive. Iniquitous Payne-Aldrich
law which he signed and declared toi
to the best tariff law. that was Ik]
sight above the horizon' on the morn-'
ing of November ft, 1912, and not the
revision downward tariff law of the,
future, now so earnestly demanded."

the discovery of the murder. Accord?
ing to Worthen's story, Miss Singer

ter finding that Miss Singer was not

1 A key was finally furnished by the
keeper of the house and the door was
opened. Further Investigation showed
the money he ha.d givtn the woman
was missing, as well us several ar?
ticles of jew. lry, reveali.ig robbery as
a probable motive for the tragedy. A
; trail of blood led to a kitchen of tie
npartment. There was found a? "billy."
which, Worthen said, Conway had once
exhibited to Miss Singer with the re?
mark, "this Is what I knock 'em out
with."
I According to Worthen's story, he met

months ago, where he was employed
with a street car company.
Worthen Is twenty-six years of age.
He will be held pending the outcome
of the coroner's Investigation. Miss
Singer was twenty-nine.
Mystery Not Solved. '
Mystery surrounding the murder
was not solved by the Inquest, which
was adjourned to-night, after a few
witnesses bad been examined. Coroner
Hoffman said that no more could be
done until the police found Charles D.
' Conway and his wife, vaudeville per
! formers, wanted as witnesses.
At the inquest Albert F. Harmon.
I a nephew of the victim", testified that
Miss Singer had been married to a
' man by the nam- of Wells eight years

rooming-house where Worthen and
Miss Singer formerly lived, testified
that Miss Singer drank heavily at
times, and that she tried to keep
Worthen In Ignorance of It.
Worthen repeated the story be had
previously told the police.

the report that Shapiro bad cen?
trale d and would take the etand i
anal nut the four gangsters.
New York. October J9.?Charles
Becker, deposed police lieutenant, will
be acut, med to-morrow morning lor
the murder of IISI S?aS Itoseiithal, tin
gambler. Becker will be brought be?
fore Justice Goff in the Criminal Courts
Building ut 1 o:30 o'clock, lie will
told he must die in the electric chair
in Sing Sing I'rison.
Mrs. Becker will be present to hear
her husband's sentence pronounced.
?'I shall certainly be iu the court
room." the devoted wife said to-day ?
alter leaving her husband behind the!
bars in "murderer's row" in the I
Tombs. "I shall go on the train with
my husband to Sing Sing. 1 want
to sta> at tils side as ioffS a-i possible.!
1 think it is my duty to do that and to:
be as brave us I can."
The ' death-hous' " at Sing Sins will J
be Becker's home 'beginning not later i
than Sunday, the State plans. District;
Attorney Whitman does not want the j
responsibility of the ex-lleutenant's '
presence in this city when he places
the "gun men" on trial. The first o?j
them probably will be tried Monday. |
Sheriff Harburger declares he will not I
delay Becker's removal from the i
Tombs.
While State's counsel is said to be
willing to wait until Saturday before
taking Becker to Sing Sing. Sheriff
Harburser said ho would Stert with
his prisoner Thursday morning; pos?
sibly to-morrow morning.
Shapiro Confeaoea.
The task" of prosecuting "Lefty
Ixiuie." "Whltey Lewis." "Gib the
Blood" und "Dago Frank" was made i
les* difficult this afternoon when Wll- j
Ham Shapiro, driver of the "murder
car." made what purported to be
a complete confession.
Shapiro was closeted with District I
Attorney Whitman for several hours,
for days his counsel, Aaron J. Levy,
had vfrged his client to tell all he
knew. Shapiro feared to do so, oak)
the lawyer, because he believed he
would be killed. With Shapiro's con?
fession and his testimony on the
stand against the "murder crew," all
In corroboratlon of what the State al?
ready knows of the movements of
Kosenthals alleged slayers on the
morning the gambler was killed. Dis?
trict Attorney Whitman believes he
will have no trouble in convicting tut
gangsters.
If Shapiro tells a story which will
help convict his passengers In the
"?nunder car." lie probably will be
tried on some less serious charge than
that of murder. Mr. Whitman is suiu
to be willing to agree to this, but is
not prepared to grant Shapiro complete
immunity.
"Bed Phil" Davidson, slayer ot
"Big Jack" Zellg, Is expected to plead
guilty to murder In the second degree,
or to manslaughter, when brought to
trial to-morrow. Mr. Whitman, whtle
assured that Davidson will not force
the State to try him, is ready to go
on with the case. Davidson's counsel.
James W. Osborne, it Is understood,
will insist that his client be allowed
to plead to manslaughter, which has
twenty years as the maximum penalty.
If the State insists on second degree
murder as the plea, Davidson can be
sentenced to life Imprisonment.

FATE OF TURKEY
BEING DECIDED
IN GREAT BATTLE
(Continued From First Page.)
Ghazl Nukht.tr i'.i-ha, who resigned. ;
An imperial decree commands the
new Grand Vizier to piostcute the
war with all energy.
Although all the changes in the
Cabinet have not yet been made, it Is
announced that Nazlm Pasha will be
retained as Minister of War and
Noradungnian I'asha as Minister of
Foreign Affairs. Jemalledin Paaha
also will be retained as Sheik-Ul-ls
lam.
The change in the Grand Vlzlerate
Is not expected materially to influ?
ence either the Internal or external
situation. Wh?n Kiamil Pasha three
monhs ago accep'ed the presidency of
the council he became the dominant
figure of the Cabinet, and H was fore?
seen that he would succeed to the
Grand Vlzlerate at an opportune
moment.
The motives for the resignation of
Mukhtar Pasha are not known. It is
supposed he began to feel that tha
responsibility for tbe crisis was bur?
densome, while the unfavorable reports
current with regard to the ill-success
of his son's operations against the
Bulgarians doubtless caused him much
chagrin.
The retention of Noradungnian
Pasha as Foreign Minister ahows that
no startling innovations In the foreign
policy are likely.
BANDITS BOLD UP
PASSENGER TRAIN
Dynamite Safe and Escape With
Thousands of Dollars
of Loot.
Muskogee. Okla. October 25.?
Southbound Missouri, Kansas and
Texas passenger train No. 9 was held
up and robbed early to-day at W'rth,
Okla, by three masked men.
The bandits, said to be little more
than boys, flagged the train as It
rounded n curve near a trestle, which
they had set on lira Uncoupling the
engine, express and baggage cars, they
compelled the engineer to run across
the burning trestle half a mile further j
south, where the express safe was
blown open and robbed, express ofn
ciala believe the loot will amount to
several thousand dollara
I The young ban Jits had timed their
'work to the minute. No. t was run?
ning; on time, and as the tra'n rounded
the curve the bridge was In flames.
Three masked men nagged it, but the
engine ran upon the trestle before It
could be brought to a stop. Although
the flames threatened to destroy the
bridge before the bandits completed
their work, they proceeded deilber- '
ately. The engineer, fireman. Con
ductor J. A. Dolan and a negro porter,
ail were covered with a revolver by j
one of the bandits. The other two '
uncoupled the engine, baggage and
express cam They then forced !
the trainmen into the cab end ;
ordered the engineer to open the I
throttle. The engine pul.'ng the two I
cars shot ahead over the burning
trestle What remained of the trestle
fell Into the water just after the care
cleared IL
Half a mile south of the bridge the
train wss stopped end the safe In the ,
express car dynamited and robbed.
When their work was completed, the
batvtlts fled to the wood-covered hills
with the loot in sacks A few minutes
later Conductor Dolan Instructed the

OFFICEHOLDERS
ARE USING PARTY
Democratic Organization In?
voked to Help Treasurers
and Commissioners.
NOT DEMOCRATIC MEASURE
Surprise Caused by Methods of
Treasurers' and Commis?
sioners' Association.
In a final effort to carry the amend?
ments to the Constitution regarding
city treaaurere and commissioners of
the revenue at the polls neat Tuesday,
an attempt la being made to use the
Democratic party machinery. The ar?
gument is put forth. In writing to local
party committees, that the amend?
ments designed to permit treasurers
an; commissioners to succeed them?
selves Indefinitely form a Democratic
measure.
The circular letter, which Is signed
by Lawrence 8. Davis, Treasurer of
Koanoke and eecretary of the Treas?
urers' and Commission .rs' Association
of Virginia, an organisation formed
to got through legislation deelred by
these officeholders, also says that the
proposition has been "confirmed by the
Court of Appeals of the Stuio as being
legally and properly done."
It nsa caused some surprise. The
Democratic ?t?te Convention In Nor?
folk last May did not Indorse the
amendments, nor was it even asked to
do so. The matter was not before
any caucus of the Legislature, and Mr.
Davis's authority for saying It Is a
Democratic measure is unknown.
Those members of the Legislature who
opposed the joint resolution submitting
the amendments to the people were
Democrats, while the Republicans
voted for It. Yet Mr. Davis Is making
an effort to bring Democratic voters
Into line for it cu the plea that It is a
party measure.
Besides. It Is recalled that the Su?
preme Court has not, as Mr. Davis as?
serts, "confirmed" It "as being properly
and legally done." That court has only
Passed on the question of Jurisdiction,
and shouW it be carried at the polls
the legality of the submission will
j certainly be tested In the courts, many
leading lawyers believing; it improper
' ly dope.
Still further, the personal appeit* be?
ing made by treasurers and commis?
sioners Is held to show the fallacy
of the argument being put forth that
the amendments are not lr. the Interest
of officehold? rs, but ars in the in?
terest of the people. The spirit be?
hind the amendments Is thus shown.
Mr. Davis goes so far as to ssk ths
party chairmen to use the Judges of
election. Iiis circular letter, sent out
all over the State, follows:
To the Chairman of the Democratic
executive Committee:
Dear Sir.?The constitutional amend?
ments allowing city treasurere and
city commissioners of the revenue to
succeed themselves ?111 be submitted
to the peopl- at the November elec?
tion.
This Is a Democratic measure, passed
by a Democratic Legislature and con?
firmed by the Court of Appeala
of the State as being legally and prop?
erly dona
At the last November election the
amendments to the Constitution allow?
ing county treasurers snd county com?
missioners to succeed themselves were
'passed and have become a law; while
the amendments to allow city treasur?
ers an! city commissioners the same
privileges were defeated by the coun?
ty voters, so that under present condi?
tions every other officer In the State Is
allowed to succeed himself as often as
the people choose to elect him. except
the thirty-eight men filling the offices
of city treasurers and city commis?
sioners.
As a matter of right and justice, I
am writing to appeal to you to help
us get this matter before the county
voters and to aid us in every possible
way that you can to secure their pas?
sage. It is Important that the voters'
? attention at each precinct shsll be
called to the necessity of voting on

"Rail road a tell you about tha won?

Thus commented a phlVoeophloal
traveling man. speaking of natal Mte,
restaurants, grills and Junction lunch
counters. "The agitations In this
world." he continued, ''are the result
of one sot of men trying to compel
Vis other set bo think and act^ against
{heir own Inclinations. It 1s the same
in religion, politics and eats. I havs
t learned from experience to eat what
I they serve, to forget the food experts
read the current nswa and Jokes and
; leave the stonisch to the beet expert
In the world?Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lota"
And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ac?
tually do the work assigned them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom?
achs of a great portion of digestive ac?
tion. Their component parts assist the
digestive fluids and secretions of the
stomach, and they simply take up the
grind and ce-rrv on tbe work Just the
same as a good, strong, healthy atom
a oh would do It.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are foe
sale by an druggists at so cents a
box. and they are the one article that
the druggist does not try to sell some?
thing In the place of that's "Just ss
good." Their unqualified merit and
success and the universal demand for
them has placed them within the reach
of every one (Advertisement.)
