HIS CASE PUZZLES
THE CRIMINOLOGISTS
SACRAMENTO, CAL., July 11. Ja
cob Oppenheimer. whom crimin
ologists have termed one of Ameri
ca's most extraordinary convicts, was
hanged at Folsom this morning.
Oppenheimer, when a messenger
boy of 14, tried to kill his su
perintendent and was given a 'work
house sentence. Soon after he was re
leased he was convicted of robbing and
sent to Folsom prison for SO years. A
roan named jioss, who had been the
principal witness for the prosecution,
later was himself sent to prison. Op
penheimer met him at the gate and
murdered him.
Sentence Leaa-thened for Life.
For that crime Oppenheimer's sen
ttnee was lengthened to life Impris
onment and he was transferred to San
Viuentin. There he attacked a. guard
and later a fellow prisoner and
lor the latter assault he was sentenced
u. death under California's law enacted
in 1907. making an attack by a con
vict on a guard or fellow prisoner a
capital offence.
Fourteen of his 18 years in prison
Oppenheimer spent in solitary confine
ment. An enemy, .tTancisco Quijada, a
murederer awaiting execution, used the
prison "telegraph ' taps on the cell
walls to taunt the inmate of the dun
geon. Oppenheimer, nursing his wrath,
managed to procure an old file and as
he sharpened and pointed the file on
the stone wall, he would leave off to
tap to Quijada: "I'll get you yet, you

the "human tiger."
Oppenheimer's attorneys had fought
desperately for six years to save him.

Washington. D-. C, July 11. "Nick
Carter," the hero
of manv a "yellow
DacK" novel, and worshipped by three
generations of small boys, is to be
considered by the supreme court.
"Nick" was about to appear on the
moving picture stage when a New York
firm of publishers today claimed that
Nick Carter was born in their imagina
tion about 23 years ago and had risen
to fame as a leading character in the
detective stories.
A St. Louis moving picture film com
pany believed that "Nick" was des
tined to be a drawing card and so
they prepared and advertised a "de
tective" film. In their advertisement
they declared "We have struck oil

FOR JOT
Democrats Have Been "Work
infoh Measure For Three
Months and Four Days.
CHAMP CLARK IS NOT
QUIZZED BY PROBERS
WASHINGTON, D. C-, July 11.
The senate may now proceed to
the business for which presi
dent Wilson called the extra session of
congress revision of the tariff.
Today, three months and four days
after the special session began, chair
man Simmons, of the finance commit
tee, was authorised to report the Underwood-Simmons
tariff bill. The mea
sure was passed upon in committee by
a strict party vote, the Republicans
voting against it.
May Repeal Reciprocity.
That the provision of the 'tariff bill
levying a duty of 12 percent ad valorem
on print paper valued at more than
2 1-2 cents a pound and not more than
4 cents a pound, may repeal a portion
of the Canadian reciprocity act of 1911,
is contended in the analysis of the
measure prepared under direction of
senator Smoot Republican member of
the finance committee.
Besides the duty of 12 percent ad
valorem, the Democratic bill would im
pose a countervailing tax in retaliation
for export license fee or other charges
imposed by a foreign country.
"An interesting point to consider," the
Smoot analysis sets forth, "is the effect
of the enactment of this paragraph on
the portion of the Canadian reciprocity
act wnicn enters free or duty paper im
ported from Canada valued at not
more than four cents pej- pound. With
respect to printing paper valued at
more than 2 l-2c and not more than
4 cents per pound, it is manifest that
there is a complete repugnance between
the two statutes, for under tho act of
1911, it is free of duty, and by the
terms of the tariff bill, it is subject to
a duty of 12 percent ad valorem."
Republican leaders will make a point
of this on the floor of the senate.
Mere Evidence in Lobby Probe.
When the senate lobby committee
met today. Winthrop Larvin. secretary
of the National association of Man
ufacturers, put in a synopsis showing
the laws of the association. He was
questioned about a special $20,000 fund
raised several years ago. He said he
had no record of how that fund was
collected or disbursed.
William Whitman, former president
of the association, then explained a
$5000 gift made to S. N. D. North, sec
retary of the association in 1897 and
a clerk to majority members of the
senate finance committee.
The gift was made after the Dingley
bill had passed congress.
Speaker Clark Ten If Jew.
Speaker Clark made a statement re
lating to the use of Ms name by David
Lamar and Edward Lauterbach. He
testified he had never had anything
to do with Lamar, Lauterbach or any
of the men mentioned by them.
J. P. Morgan, he said, he saw at a
gridiron dinner in Washington several
years ago, at which former president
Roosevelt and former senator Foraker
engaged in a joint debate.
"It was the hottest debate ever heard
in this country," said the speaker.
Speaker Clark put in this statement:
"Ledyard says that Lauterbach told
him that he was in communication
with me through senator Stone. Lau
terbach, who acknowledged' on the wit
ness stand that he had lied, said that
Lamar gave him the information. La
mar confessed the whole tale was a
lie to force Morgan and company to
take Lauterbach back into their em
ploy. All of them disclaim any ac
quaintance or communication with me.
"Senator Stone Justly criticised the i
Lamar-Lauterbach tale as a lie. in
which he was entirely correct. He and
I never in our lives conversed about
'or in any way mentioned to each other
Morgan and company or the steel trust
investigation.
Sever Spoke to J. P. Morgan.
"I never spoke to J. Pierpont Mor
gan or any member of his firm in
my life; never communicated with him
or tnem in any manner whatsoever;
never authorized anybody else to do so.
I was, to my best knowledge and be-
lief, never introduced even casually to
him or any of them. To my best know-
ledge and belief I never saw asiy of !
them except Mr. Morgan himself and I
that was across the larcre dlntnsr room
oi tne iew wiuaru at a gridiron ciud
banquet
to Lauterbach here in Washington in
the presence of several men and
passed the usual salutation with him.
That was all. I never saw him before
or since and never communicated 'With
him in any manner whatsoever about
any business matter whatsoever.
"I had never heard of Lamar and
knew only by seeing his name in the
papers tnat mere is such a man as
Lewis Cass Ledyard. It seems to me
that when Mr. Ledyard found out that
senator Stone's name and mine were
beta? bandied about by Lamar, the
psuedo-Palmer and Lauterbach, he
ought to have let me know."
The speaker was not sworn and the
committee did not ask him any ques
tions. He left the room when he fin
ished his statement
"Bo Frebe Labor "War."
All the "wars" that have been fought
between labor and caoitaL all the
efforts that both have made to secure
legislation to profit them, and the
tangled skein woven about their rela
tions in the last 10 years are to be in
vestigated by congress. The senate
lobby committee in executive session
decided that the "wars" must be In

knowing it will extend' the inquiry

LONDON, Eng., July 1L The Ru
mania declaration of war on Bul
garia is expected here to assist
in bringing to an end the carnage in
the Balkans by forcing speedy action
on the part of the powers who have
been invited to intervene.
The object of king Charles, of Ro
mania, in assuming the part of a belig
erent is to strengthen Rumania's claim
to participate in the ultimate sharing
of territory in the Balkans. For the
present Rumania, it Is thought, will
probably content herself with occupy
ing the strip of Bulgarian territory
from Turtukai. on the Danube, to Balt
chik, on the Black sea, including tho
city of Silistria.
ShmmIr Holdtt StHatria.
The Rumanians entered Silistria
' without resistance by the Bulgarians.
Silistria is a very important point
on the Danube and has been in exis
tence as a city since the Roman era
until the conclusion of the Russo-Tur-kish
war in 1887. It had been for
about 500 years the main bulwark of
the Ottoman empire on the northern
European frontier.
It sustained many sieges through the
centuries and always offered a stout
resistance. Even as late as the Crim
ean war it was able to defy a bom
bardment by the Russians, but after
the last Russo-Turkish war the
Turkish troops retired and left it in
the hands of the Bulgarians. It has
over 12,000 inhabitants, many of 'whom
are Mohammedans.

somewhat in consequence.
