HUGHES IN PHILADELPHIA
MR. HUGHES comes tonight to the
aibraltnr of Republicanism. Ho
eafpea primarily as ho apostle of efll
aaency In the conduct of national affairs.
All other Issues at this momentous crisis
In American and human affairs aro ele
ments of that ono issue of eniclency, a
policy which within Its ampleness enfolds
protection, national honor, militant sup
port of American Interests In alt parts of
the world, and rebukes any and all pro
crams of compromise on essentials or
surrender to scntlmentallam In the con
tact of serious government.
zJKhs necessity for Hushes Is not based,
-""" kewever, on the failures or shortcomings
f the Wilson Administration so much as
h the traditional attitude of mind com
mon to Democrats, which in itself nega
tives tholr proposals for retention In
power. It Is because tha Democracy as
a party, and Mr. Wilson as the exponent
of tho views of that party, is constltu-
1 Monally in opposition to economic and
ther principles on which the progress
m well as the prosperity and prestige of
r this nation la fundamentally grounded,
that forward-looking men everywhero are
flevotlng their efforts to tho election of
Jtr. Hughes.
Mr. Wilson and his party have ad-
Kitted that their hlstorlo tariff policy
Must bo abandoned. In searching for a
Substitute they havo cojno nearer and
nearer to IlepubUcan theory, but with a
wetl-deflned hatred of It always in their
atlhds and a distinct purpose to let the
country hivo only so much protection as
Will prevent absolute disaster and not
awough.to assure the continuance of the
real prosperity which Is a prerequisite to
future growth and development.
TT WAS asserted at one time that Phlla
" delphla's devotion to protection consti
tuted reliance on a weak prop, becauso It
Biade the city's prosperity dependent on a
yolicy which the city Itself could not de
termine. It left tho city always at the
merey of tho national legislature, where
fere, if the Philadelphia policy of pro
tection were rejected by the nation as
. v. whole, there could be nothing but ruin
nd disaster for the city ponding a re
versal of that verdict
The argument might have held at a
c period when manufacturing' was almost
Wholly an eastern activity. But the
sTrewth of manufacturing has more than
kept pace -with the growth in population.
Where an erroneous national economic

American tnduatrAt and commercial sta

national Interests are gravely Imperiled.
The war cone has suddenly been
stretched clear across the Atlsntlo to our

our Government opportunity to study the
Import of the new situation or devise a
policy to meet it A determined party
In the Reichstag has been demanding of
the Imperial Chancellor a reversal of the
humane policy which America enforced
upon his unwilling Emperor. The dis
patch of tho U-53 to cut off at Its source

Hollweg's response to those who urged
him to ruthless submarine activity in a
wider zone.
There Is nothing yet to show that the
easentlal principles laid down by Preal
dent Wilson and accepted by Germany
havo been repudiated. The crews of the
torpedoed vessels wero given warning.
Neutral ships were sunk, but neutral
ships carrying contraband are liable to
attack. Americans were among those
who were compelled to take to the smalt
boats, a risky business at this tlmo of
year, but no loss of llfo has as yet been
reported.
Thero Is reason to believe that tho U-G3
Is in touch with a "mother" vessel, an
other submarine, It may be, 'of the mer
chantman typo, capable of carrying ample
supplies for the little warship. Lying
off our coast, the Deutschland, which
brought a 600-ton cargo to Baltimore, may
be replenishing, with fuel and ammuni
tion, tho German submarine and possibly
other U-boats for a new series of at
tacks. Tho system of British nets which
hampers tho movements of submarines In
ths Channel and North 8ea could not be
reduplicated In mtdocean or off the Ameri
can coast, for this method of defense Is
possible only in the narrow arms of

We can find no record of the re

There Is no question that the city

DESECRATION OF LINCOLN'S TOMB
Why the Sarcophagus Was Wrecked on the Night of Election Day
in 1876 Has Never Been Explained Was There a
Plot to Steal the Body?
By JOHN ELFRETH WATKINS
IN THE winter of 1870 the chief of
police of Springfield, 111., was told by
a woman that she had overheard certain
criminals plot to open the tomb of Abra
ham Lincoln, steal his coflln, sink It In
tho Sangamon River and offer Its return
for 1200,000 ransom. Additional guards
were Immediately placed around the
mausoleum of the martyr President and
the plot was thus frustrated for the time
being.
Eight months later Patrick D. Tyrrell,
of the United States Secret Service,
learned of a similar plot from Lewis C.
Swegles, then being used by the Govern
rnent detectives as a "stoolplgeon" or
"roper." Tho ransom, according to
Swegles, was to be the same as before,
$200,000. Certain St. Louis men, whose
real names could not be determined, were
said to be parties to the plot Swegles,
detailed to keep In touch with the con
spirators, later reported that he had been
chosen to help carry out the ghoulish
work. In fact, he stated that tho details
had been intrusted to him that ho had
been instructed to obtain a wagon, In
which the leaden casket was to be smug
gled out of Springfield by relays of horses
to the sand dunes of northern Indiana.
Here the martyr-President's remains were
to be burled that the shifting sands might
at once obliterate the wagon tracks and
other surface Indications of the crime.
Swegles reported that the ghouls planned
to take careful measurements of the dis
tance between the place of burial and the
nearest tree, In order that thero should
be no difficulty in disinterment after the
ransom should be paid. A convicted coun
terfeiter, of a dozen aliases, but generally
known as Ben Boyd, and who was then
serving a term in the Unified States Peni
tentiary, was said to have been selected to
carry on negotiations for the ransom.
Boyd's freedom, It was alleged, would be
one of the conditions under which the
body would be returned.
Continuous reports from Swegles Indi
cated that he was in the close confidence
of the conspirators. Early In November
he warned the Secret Service men that
the night of Tuesday, November 7, 1876,
had been chosen for the crime, this date
being that of the Hayea-Tllden election.
That particular time was selected because
it was believed that the excitement Inci
dent to the receiving of election returns
would shield the ghouls from any possi
ble attention. The Secret Service men
planned to hide In the tomb and allow
the ghouls to actually steal the body be
fore pouncing upon them, but the dead
President's son, Robert T, Lincoln, who
had been taken Into the confidence of the
detectives, protested against their allow.
lng tho plot to proceed to tho point where
profane hands might actually be laid upon
his father's coffin. So It was agreed that
the criminals should be caught In the
tomb while endeavoring to open the
grave.
The detectives' accomplice. Swegles, re
ported that he and two of the conspirators
would leave Chicago on the evening be
fore election day, nnd Tyrrell, the Secret
Service operative, who had unearthed tho
case, saw his "stoolplgeon'1 with two
determined-looking men Jump aboard the
Alton train, leaving Chicago at 9 p. m.
With two detectives Tyrrell boarded the
same express and the six men at opposite
ends of tho train arrived at Springfield
that night ,
Election day that year was dark and
Bloomy, and by 6 o'clock the blackness of
night had fallen over the cemetery. The
sarcophagus containing the body of the
martyr-President lay In a catacomb at the
north end of n monumental structure, at
whose southern extremity, 176 feet dis
tant, lay Memorial Hall. The detectives
selected the hall as their hiding place.
They had tho promise of Swegles that at
the proper psychological moment he was
to leave the catacomb, presumably to
fetch the horse and wagon, but on 'his
way around the bate of the hall was to
come to the door of Memorial Hall and
glvo the detectives a countersign.
After what seemed an Interminable
wait the countersign was whispered
through the bars. The detectives opened
the grated door and went cautiously
around the hill, drawing their revolvers
as they advanced. Ootng to the door of
the catacomb they found that the staple
containing the lock had been filed off
and that the iron door stood ajar. Tyr
rell, leading the detectives, called on
whomsoever was within to surrender, but
there was no answer. Finally Tyrrell led
the way within the tomb. Groping about,
he found no one. Lighting a match, he
saw the sarcophagus battered to pieces
and the leaden casket all ready for re
moval. Tools we,e scattered over the
floor, but the ghouls had fled.
Swegles had reported that the two men
who had accompanied him to the tomb
were counterfeiters, known as Hughes
and Mullen. After ten days Tyrrell ran
these men down and had them sent to the
penitentiary for a year on the charge of
robbery and larceny. Their counsel
charged that the Secret Service men had
"framed up a Job" on them in order to
break up a counterfeiting conspiracy in
which they were Implicated.
The whole affair was fraught wjth mys
teries which no one to this day has been
able to solve. y
