SISSON AND STOBER TOOLS Republican Nominees Supported All the Iniquitous Legislation Introduced in the Interest of the Party Bosses. The session of the legislature of 1903 opened auspiciously for the ma- chine managers. The insurgent force which prevented the election of Quay in 1899 and a remnant of which caused some annoyance during the session of 1901 had been entirely obliterated in the election of 1902, when Pennypack- er fooled them all; the Democratic minority had been reduced almost to a negligible quantity and the outlook for “good stealing” was exceptionally bright. The machine traders were pres. ent in full force, moreover, and the promise was that everything would go their way. Probably no measure considered during the session attracted as much public notice as the Salus-Grady libel bill, commonly known as the ‘press muzzler,” read in place in the senate by Mr. Grady, of Philadelphia, on April 7. The echo of Quay's voice pleading the statute of limitations in a Phila- delphia criminal court had scarcely died out. All the machine leaders ascribed Quay’s trouble to the newspa- pers and they were resentful. But their plans to stifie the freedom of the press met courageous and consistent opposition at every stage, and the bill had to be amended twice, postponed once and recommitted once before it got through the senate finally. On April 9, however, this sinister result was achieved, both Sisson and Stober voting for it in every form and at every stage. The final vote is recorded on page 1917 of the Journal of the Sen- ate, though falsely indexed, for the purpose of confusing inquirers, no doubt, as on page 1828. The session of 1903 was comspicu- ous for its raids on the treasury in the shape of multiplying offices and in- creasing the salaries of public officials. Among the incursions along those lines were the bill to increase the sal- aries of judges, in contempt of the con- stitution, Sisson and Stober both vot- ing in the affirmative. Senate Journal, 1903, page 1627. The bill to increase the number of clerks and other em- ployes and the salaries in the office of the attorney general, Sisson and Stober both voting for the measure. Senate Journal, 1903, page 958. The bill to create a bureau of elevator inspec- tors, which was simply a device to create a number of new and expensive offices to be filled by party pension- ers. Sisson and Stober voted together for this measure. Senate Journal, 1903, page 662. The bill appropriating $25,000 to erect a monument on the capitol grounds to perpetuate the memory of the late Simon Cameron excited more contempt than indignation, because the public was confident that it would fail. It passed the senate on Jan. 22, how- ever, with the votes of Sisson and Stober in favor of it. Senate Journal, 1903, page 343. The act of 1901 having served its purpose of permitting the machine politicians to acquire such electric railway franchises as they desired or could handle, for the time being, a bill was introduced during the session of 1903, modifying that measure. The new bill provided that before a char- ter for an electric or trolley railroad should issue from the state department the governor, secretary of state and attorney general should certify that it was necessary. That absurd propo- sition passed the senate finally on April 9, Sisson and Stober voting for it. Senate Journal, 1903, page 1827. The Pennsylvania railroad had been carrying a white elephant for a num- ber of years which was increasingly troublesome. When it acquired the control of the canals of the state, con- ditions were imposed under which it might have been required to maintain these waterways, and it had tried in various ways to relieve itself of this burden and menace. During the session of 1903 two or three expedients were invoked. Ome was an act to authorize corporations to sell and transfer franchises and property to other corporations. Sisson and Stober voted for the bill. Senate Journal, 1903, page 910. It was subse- quently vetoed by Governor Penny- packer, who liked to keep fresh in the corporate mind the fact that he had power, The result was achieved sussequent» ly in another bill, entitled “A further supplement to an act to authorize the formation and regulation of railroads,” page 1365. One of the pet iniquities of the ses- gion of 1903 was Senator Grady's re nopoly with control of the water pow- ers of the state. Such an iniquity would be scarcely less in evil consequences than the Grady enterprise. Two of these were in the form of senate bills and another in the shape of a house bill which came over to the senate for concurrence. Sisson and Stober sup ported all these sinister schemes. There were a number of insurance bills introduced during the session in pursuance of the plans of the insur ance lobby operating in New York and Pennsylvania, which subsequently led to investigations in both states. Sisson and Stober voted for all of them. The judicial salary bill, which in- creased the expenses of the courts . more than half a million dollars a year was enacted during the session of 1903, Sisson and Stober voting for it. though it clearly violated the consti tution of the state, and they were sworn to “support, obey and defend” that instrument. Senate Journal, 1903, page 1627. Another attempt was made to raid the treasury through the courts by a law retiring judges at a certain age on full pay. This would have cost the people a guarter of a million dollars a year if it had passed. On final passage in the senate Sisson and Stober voted for it. Senate journal, 1903, page 1075. There were also three bills creating new judges considered during the ses- sion of 1903, and Sisson and Stober voted for two of them. Senate Journal, 1903, pages 1711 and 1712. The other didn’t reach a roll call or, it is safe to say, they would have voted for it. During the session of 1903 there were introduced into the senate a num- ber of labor bills or measures in the interest of organized labor. The coal regions were especially concerned in legiclation of this sort. These bills were referred to the committee on mines and mining, of which Senator Heidelbaugh, of Lancaster, Senator Stober’s colleague, was chairman. Hel- delbaugh consigned the bills to his “inside pocket” and couldn't be pre vailed on to present them for consid- eration until the session had nearly come to an end. During the period that the bills were kept in concealment efforts were made to pass a resolution to “discharge the committee from consideration of them,” but without avail. Among the senators who gave moral and material support to the practive of Heidelbaugh were Sisson and Stober. It was the policy of the Republican legislative machine and that was paramount to justice and duty to them. There was no trick too trifling for the machine during the session of 1903, Any expedient which worked to the advantage of the gang and made trou- ble for the opposition was adopted. In Philadelphia and some other cities the machine had been having trouble with men who, resenting frauds at the pri mary elections, would file objections to nomination papers. In most cases that was all that it amounted to. That fs to say, in Philadelphia, for exam- ple, in most cases the court being in sympathy with the crooks, would dis- miss the petition. Like the late Mr. Tweed, however, these leisurely gen- tlemen don't like to be annoyed, and they conceived the notion that if their obliging friends, the judges, were au- thorized to put the costs on the peti tioner in such case, the annoyance would be minimized, if not discontin- ued entirely. Accordingly a bMl was introduced into the senate during the session of 1902 putting the custs of all such ob- jections upon the petitioner. The pur- pose to foster fraud was so apparent in this measure that it is surprising that any one would be wiiling to intro- duce it. But such a person was found, and among those who voted for the bill were Sisson and Stober. Senate Journal, 1903, page 1813. The bill to increase the salary of the state treasurer, enacted during the gession of 1903, was another party ne- cessity. While the building and fur nishing of the state capitol was in progress a man of their own kidney was wanted in the office of state treas- urer. They are not found in every nook and corner, but William L. Math. ues, of Chester, filled the bill to per fection. But Mathues was a high-priced man and he wouldn't take the office unless the salary was increased from $5000 to $8000 a year. Accordingly the ma- chine managers agreed to his terms, and a bill for the increase was intro- duced. There were objections, of course, and it was shown that the compensation for other services to the state, equally onerous and exacting, were no more generous. But the looters had to have Mathues, and the rabble were driven to consent. The bill passed the senate finally April 7, Sie gon and Stober voting in the affirma- tive. Senate Journal, 1903, page 1673. Citizens of Pennsylvania should be proud to vote for such men as have been nominated by the Democratic party for the several offices to be filled this year. For justice of the supreme | court C. La Rue Munson is presented. He is a lawyer of great ability and ex- perience and of the highest character for integrity and learning. The candi date for auditor general, J. Wood Clarke, Esq., is as capable as he is courageous, and the candidate for state treasurer is not only an experienced banker. but a progressive and success- ful business man. Neither of these gen- tlemen has been the slave of machine politicians or the servile instrument of par:isan kuaves. If they are elected the {nterests of the people will be con: served at every turn. Survivors of Wreck Were Taken Aboard Winter Quarter Lightship. Passing Steamship Could Not Take Them Off In Gale. Baltimore, Sept. 28.—Six out a crew of eighteen are aboard Winter Quarter lightship, twenty-five miles from the Delaware capes, the remain- ing twelve men having perished, ac- cording to a report by Captain De- lano, of the steamer Porto Rico, here from New York. Captain Delano did not learn th name or character of the lost vegsel, not being able to get close to the 1 ght- ship because of a heavy gale. & He tried to communicate by m phone, and despite the roar of the wind learned enough to realize that a phip had foundered. The name could be made out. The captain of the lightship said he had six survivors on board and that twelve had been drowned. Those on the Porto Rico could see a small boat hanging to the rear of the lightship. It was badly battered, and it is believed that the six men were saved In it. Whether the ship was lost in sight of the lightship or farther out to sea is not known, but it is not thought the small boat could have come any great distance. The vessel that foundered near the Winter Quarter lightship was a Nor- wegian steamer, according to officers of the steamer Chesapeake, now in from Baltimore. Signals from the lightship told the story of the disaster as the Chesa- peake was passing, but the name of the lost steamer could not be read. : I —————————— - Father's Brutal Crim A brutal murder was committed at Greenville, 8. C., when Whit QGallo- way shot his wife dead and then killed himself in the presence of his three children. Galloway had care fully loaded both “barreis of his shot gun, then crept to the side of t bed, aimed at his sleeping wife's hee and discharged the gun, blowing - her head. Then placing the gun’. the floor he placed the muzzle at the side of his head and pulled the trig- ger, blowing his head completely off. Jealousy is said to be the cause of the tragedy. Galloway's little four-year-old daugh- ter said her father also tried to kil her. Farmer Made Bogus Coin. Daniel and Levi Raibold, both of whom are farmers, residing in the southeast section of York county, Pa., were arrested by Constable Stoner, of York, and a secret service detective from Washington, on a charge of counterfeiting silver coin. The section in which the men reside has been flooded with counterfeit nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars. When a search was made of the defendants’ home, a quantity of metal from which — - A— the coins were made was found, along with some excellent dies. Levi admits the counte;feiting, but says that his brother Daniel is innocent. Petrified Head Found In Mine. Fight hundred feet below the sur face of the earth miners digging a tun- nel unearthed a man’s head, petrified, in the Maple Hill mine at Mahanoy City, Pa. The specimen, which is a perfect one, will be sent to a Philadel phia museum. The eyes, nose, ears and even the hair stand out in excellent relief. It is believed that the head is the re mains of a workman who met death years ago and no one was ever able to find his body. The treak find was made under a large rock, over which running water passed. Girl Finds $8000 In Cistern. It is reported from New Wilming ton, Pa., that while a daughter of Samuel Auld was cleaning a cistern on the farm, she dragged forth a crock, and upon opening the lid foun: Buchanan, a wealthy bachelor, who died recently, became frightened when the country was threatened with 2 panic last year and withdrew his money from the bank, hiding it in the cistern. After his death no trace of the money could be found. Tried to Kiil His Family. Arthur Allen, the proprietor of the Keystone hotel at Mifflin station, nea: Lewistown, Pa. shot and instantly killed his five-year-old daughter, and then shot his wife and himself in the head, inflicting only scalp wounds. Allen had been drinking. A railroad watchman heard him throwing furni ture and other things about the lowe: part of the hotel, and then heard three shots in the bedroom above. Afjer Allen's wonnd was dressed he was taken to jail. Resisted Masked Highwayman Who Demanded His Valuables. Philadelphia, Sept. 28. — Henry S. Saylor, aged thirty-eight years, was shot and probably fatally wounded by a masked highwayman who attacked him at Hunting Park and York ave- nues. Saylor managed to crawl to his home, a few blocks distant, and then lasped into unconsciousness. His wife telephoned for an ambulance and he was removed to a hospital, where it was found that he had been shot i: the stomach. Physicians say he has slight chances of recovery. . Saylor was returning home, when his assailant sprang at him from = dark shadow. He resisted when the highwayman demanded his valuables. The latter then drew a revolver, and after shooting him robbed him of his money and jewelry. New Advertisements.
