State l.eaguo Executive Coiiuultteo
to Meet Tomorrow Afternoon.
Special to the Rornnton Tribune.
llarrisburc. April iS. This will be a
rreut week In, the ioliUcnl history of
PiMiiwylvaiUa. Senator ijuuy i.t to In
here and It l8,thtKL'iiwul belief that the
BtniKKle for suoremuey between David
Martin and him "will noon be renewed.
The Uevr county man Is exiHH-ted to
Inolst on the pusslnff of the resolution
to Lexow Philadelphia. When this U
clone factional Hues must be drawn ami
the people who have been straddllint
the political fence will have to bIiow
whom they will look to as a leader In
the future.
The Martin-Porter people are badly
frightened. They now realize there Is
to be an Investigation and w hile they
ay they do not fear the results. It Is
very evident they would rattier not
have their past history examined Into.
Some of them say Quay w ill not dare
Insist on an Investigation, as It would
turnout badly for him. They Intimate
that tho Investigators may be investi
gated before the Penrose Inquiry Is
over. The friends of the IVaver states
man lauRh at the blurt and if ay there Is
nothing In the tust history of their
leader that he la afraid to have re
vealed. How About Mayor Warwick.'
The Martin people accuse Penrose of
belnjc anUnconls-tlc to Mayor Warwick.
They say one of h! reasons for asking
for this Investigation Is to embarrass
the mayor on the start of his adminis
tration. They are still claiming Sen
ator Penrose misstated the facts In hid
speech in the senate Wednesday after
noon. His plea that this committee Is
simply to examine into the workings of
the Bullitt act Is by them considered
a jriirantlc bluff.
The Martin faction also claim that
Penrose was afraid to make the reso
lution a joint one. They think had it
gone over to the house it would have
been put to sleep. There are many peo
ple who would have liked to have seen
a Joint resolution, as it would have re
quired the signature of Governor Hast
ings. This would have shown with
whom the chief executive Intended to
cast his lot. Ever since the appoint
ment of Captain Walton as city con
troller of Philadelphia many of the leg
islature are of the Opinion General
Ha-tlns3 is a Martin num.
The Lexow committee of N'ew York Is
a precedent for Senator Penrose's ac
tion In leaving the Investigation to sen
ators. The body of men that caused s
much trouble t.) wronjf-doers in Xew
York w selected from, the Empire
state" senate. Th Martin people say
there was a reason for this, as the
tipper house In New York was con
trolled By Republicans, while the lower
body was In the hands of the Demo
crats, and Senator Lexow wanted to
Investigate Democrats.
Quay County Prosrects.
The Quay county bill Is heinff held
back until the Junior senator reaches
here. The measure went through the
senate with a comfortable majority,
but It has not been shown much con
sideration in t.h' house. It was put
through second reading aftT a strug
gle lasting over a day, and has since
been lingering on the r-nlendar for third
reading and final passage. The bill
was reached last Wednesday, but was
postponed by Its friends through fear
It would not pass. They relieve Sena
tor Quay can save it, and It Is their in
tention to call It up during his stay at
the capital and attempt to pass It out
of sentiment.
The executive committee of the State
League of Republican clubs will meet
In the supreme court room Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Journal Clerk
Randolph, of the house of representa
tives, who also holds the honorable
position of secretary of the State
league. Is hustlln? about making prep
arations for the meeting. Major Ever
ett Warren, of Scranton, president of
the league, will be here. Ex-Mayor
Stuart, of Philadelphia, the first pre
siding officer of the organization, will
also be present The object of the
meeting Is to prepare for the national
convention of league clubs at Cleve
land, June 19, and determine on the
representation Pennsylvania will have
In that gathering.
Mr. Randolph was unable to say last
night how large the delegation will be,
but Is confident the Keystone state will
send a host of good, young1 Republicans.
He said the Tariff club, of Pittsburg,
Would attend the convention In a body.
At this meeting on Tuesday the exact
date of the state convention to he held
at York In Sept. will be decided upon.
In theweViIng Governor and Mrs. Hast
ings will give a reception to the com
mittee at the executive mansion.
It Is singular this meeting Is being
held the same week Senator Quay Is in
town. League men say the senator
has not taken a great deal of Interest
In the work of the young Republicans'
organization. He has always been
friendly to It, but never tried to dictate
Its course. Owing to the threatened
split In the parity, It Is thought ho will
hereafter take more Interest In the
league,

Washington, April 5S. The reported
selection of Herman Kiel., the present
appointed clerk of the treasury depart
ment, us superintendent of tho United
States mint at Philadelphia, vleo
Townscnd, removed or resigned, and of
W. R Morgan, now examiner In the.
mint bureau here, as coiner of the Phil
adelphia mint, vice Steel, transferred,
ure stated to Liu the entering wedges of
an entirely new departure In the matter
of the administration of United Slates
mints and essay olllcers. Both gentle
men are Democrats and citizen of
Pennsylvania Mr. Kretz being from
Reading, and Mr. Morgan from Phila
delphiabut neither was urged for ap
pointment by either of tho contending
factions of local politicians.
The purpose la to take tho mint ser
vice out of state politics, not only in
Pennsylvania, but In other states where
United States mints and jissuys olllcet'B
are located.
Under the rule that formerly obtained
and which has been tenaciously all
hered to by local politicians of both
parties, the superintendent of the mint
hus been largely controlled In the selec
tion of his ollice force by the views
of the senator or other state politician,
to whose recommendation he owend his
appointment.
This pressure, It Is said, will now be
lessened, If not entirely obliterated, by
the new policy of selecting mint super
intendents from a national und not a
local point of view. Men who possess
some natural or acquired qiiallllcatlons
for such places will be preferred to
those who only command local political
Influence.
There are United States mints at New
Orleans, San Francisco and Denver,
and United States assay officers at New
York. Carson City, Nevada; Charlotte,
N. C und other points. This same
policy, It is said, will be extended to
each of these alike, should occuslon
arise, although all the principal offices
In both the mints and the ussay offices
ure now held by appolntes of the pres
ent administration.
Advantages of the Departure.
The principal advantage expected to
be derived from this new departure is
that the mint service throughout the
country will be less dominated by local
Influence and brought closer under the
supervision and direction of the direc
tor of the mint, In the treasury at
Washington. Each mint Is now more
or less Independent of each other and
of the Washington authorities, but un
dt r the new plan all will be directly
under control of Washington. The
Philadelphia mint Is the largest and
most Important.
As far back as last Decemlier the
president became dissatisfied with the
conduct of the Philadelphia mint and
decided that a change was necessary
for good of the service. United Press
dispatches announced the fact then.
Several times Ince tho matter was on
the point of being brought to a head.
Circumstances of a political character
at one time and of a personal nature at
another intervened to cause delay. On
April l"i the. president and Secretary
Carlisle held a conference, when the
whole, subject of taking the mint ser
vice out of state politics was discussed
and the present policy Inaugurated.
Shortages, defalcations and absolute
thefts at Carson City, New Orleans,
Philadelphia, and other points have
largely aided In bringing the president
and Secretary Carlisle to the conclu
sion which they have how adopted.

CHILD Bl HIED ALIVE.
Pnticcd Into a Graveyard and Kollcd Tnto
n Hole und Covered Over with Knrth.
Beading, Ta., April 28. An unusual
case of cruelty was developed In
Schuylkill Haven 'Hnttmlay niirht.
During Friday afternoon the pretty
4-year-old daughter of George Khley,
a baker In Spring Garden street, was
missing from her home. A- thorough
search of the borough was made, Lut
the child could not be found, much to
the distress of her aged parents. Tho
community was thoroughly aroused,
and shortly after 10 o'clock a citizen
saw the missing child, apparently very
weak and 111, coming up the street from
the direction of Union ccmotery In the
outskirts of the town.
In her arms she carried a portion of
her clothing and her shoes. She wns
only partly dressed. Some of her np
parel was torn and soiled with dirt. tShe
was carried home, but soon her over
joyed parents were astounded nt tho
unusual story told by the child. She
said that a neighbor girl, named Holt,
aged 15, had enticed her away dtulnir
the afternoon, saying thatxthe weather
was warm and pleasant, and that she
was going to the cemetery.
Hcntcn nnd Itni icd.
They got to the cemetery about 4
o'clock, and walked around until they
came to a hole washed out by tho rain.
In a lonely corner of the Ki'aveyard.
Then, says the little girl, tho Belt girl
grabbed her, threw her down nnd boat
her, rolled her Into the hole and covered
her nil over with dirt and stones, and
said she would bury her alive. Then
she left her.
The child said she wns too wenk nt
first to do anything nnd was In terror
of her llfu. Finally, when it was dark,
she worked herself out of the hole, but
still was afraid. Sim walked nlontr
slowly, and finally had courage enough
to come out of the graveyard, nnd wns
able to find her way homo In the dark.
The parents nt Ilrst disbelieved the
child, but they found her body all cov
ered with bruises where she had boon
beaten. A warrant was at once sworn
out before 'Squire But, for tlm arrest of
the girl, and she was committed to the
Pottsvllle prison.
It Is said I he licit girl hns a mania
for torturing, nnd she Is not entirely
responsible and thnt a few years ago
she threw a child Into the Schuylkill
cnnnl to drown. 11 Is possible that
stups will be taken lo put the girl Into
some Institution where she will not have
an opportunity to do another sudi
crime. The Ehley child Is nervous and
111 over her 'terrifying experience, and
under medlcnl attendance.

THIS NUKDEKKK UNDER AKKRST
llurglur l.oguo Surrenders to the Police
Who Had llccn I nnhlo to l ocuto
lllin Hciiunkuhlo story of
the Woman's Dcuth.
Philadelphia, April 28. Afler weeks
of patient search Coroner Ashbrldge
has unravelled the tangled skein that
enwrnped the murder sixteen years ago
of Johanna Logue, the wife of James
Logue, one of the must notorious liutg
lurn in the United Stutcs. About two
years ago the skeleton of a woman was
discovered beneath tho floor of flic
kitchen of the house at VIM North
lOleventh Htrcef. ity a hand satchel
and a knowledge that Logue once lived
III the house the skeleton was Idonlllled
as that of his wife, Johanna. Suspi
cion was Immediately directed towards
Logue, but the most untiring cITorts
of the police failed to discover Ills
whereabouts. About two months ago
Logue walked Into Coroner Ash bridge's
house one evening and minted to that
official that while working on a farm
111 Minnesota ho had heard that he was
accused of the murder of his wife, and
that he had come east as soon us he
could raise the money, to surrender
himself to answer the charge. The
fact of Logtie's surrendering himself to
the coroner excited tliu chagrin of the
police department and created friction
between it find the coroner, with the
result that the coroner has received no
assistance from the police In clearing
up the case.
The coroner kept Login; In a cell at
the city hall police station und refused
to allow any one to see him or talk with
him. The old burglar protested his
Innocence of the murder of his wife and
told the coroner the story that has kept
him busy since Logue gave himself up
following ouf. The result of the coro
ner's Investigation was the arrest two
weeks ago of a woman, w ho, like Logue,
was kept In the utmost secrecy In a cell
at the city hall. Today the coroner told
the story of the murder and the name
of the self-confessed slayer of Johanna
I)gue, although the man who acknowl
edges to the crime claims that the wo
man's death was accidental.
The- Murderer Arrested.
The slayer of Johanna Logue Is Al
fonso F. Gutalar, jr., a grocer at 4T'i
Lancaster avenue, this city, and the
dead woman's nephew nnd Logue's
stepson. Gutalar Is a son of Mary (3a
hen, a sister of Johanna Logue, and
who was Logue's wife before he mar
ried Johanna. Gutalar was arrested by
the coroner upon nn affidavit by Logue,
charging him with the murder of his
wife. When arrested he at first pro
tested his Innocence, but finally, under
close questioning, acknowledged hav
ing caused the death of his mint and
accused Logue of a subsequent knowl
edge of it and aiding him In the disposal
of the body. He afterwards retracted
the subsequent part of his confession
and cleared Logue of any participation
In the crime.
His statement was that on Saturday
night of Feb. 22, lSTfl, Mrs. Logue came
to his house at lr.o North Eleventh
street, where ho hnrf a barber shop. He
says that she was under the Influence
of liquor, nnd that she told him that
she had come from New York that eve
ning nnd that Logue had gone to Bos
ton. Knowing Logue's jealous disposi
tion he succeeded In persuading her to
return to New York that night. He
took her up stairs and succeeded in get
ting her to lie dow n mil II he could get
an opportunity to take her to tho rail
road Mntion. Fearing thnt the wo
man, in her condition, would roll from
the bed he says he tied her feet with
a handkerchief and wrapped several
strands of clothes line around her and
the bed to keep her from rising. When
he returned for herhosuysthat he found
that she had tried to get up nnd In
doing so had strangled herself to death
In the cord In which she was wrapped.
Torpso Under the Kitchen.
lie burled the body under the kitchen
Hour and took the valuable Jewels that
Mrs. Logue had upon her. During a
whole year he and his wife remained In
the house, although a terrible stench
pervaded It from the decaying body un
der the kitchen floor. The fact of this
stench through the house Is what com
pelled Gutalar to stay, as he was afraid
lo move less some other tenant should
come In nnd discover the body.
Logue asserts that Gutalar killed his
wile for the sake of the Jewels upon her,
and that she had $4,000 In money with
her nt the time. Logue will probably

AGITATION IN PERM ANY.
Killer of the I uthcrlniid lias been Nick

Attacks the Standard Oil Com
pany. Berlin, April 28. Some COO sailors and
marines went on a special train from
Kiel o Wilhelms Haven on Friday and
yesterday embarked on the Ironclad
Kaiser for China. A rumor abroad yes
terday was that Kmperor William had
sent the czar a telegram putting the
German squadron in the Pacltic under
the command of the Russian admiral.
The rumor seems Incredible. Such a
course would cause an uproar through
out the German army and navy. It Is
slgnlllcant of the general confusion here
that rumors, equally startling, are
circulated almost dally. The changes
In Germany's foreign policy are so sud
den and astonishing that even the men
supposed to belong to the Inner politi
cal circle are often at a loss for ex
planations. The change of front toward
Japan Is still unexplained.
The official and semi-official newspa
pers are kept busy denying false re
ports, but they fail to give any clue to
the true policy adopted by the govern
ment. The virulence of the canard
fever was shown clearly yesterday
when the government found It expedi
ent to deny the report that the Greek
ironclad taking part in the Klcd fetes
Would be seized for the benefit of
Greece's German creditors.
Called William the Sudden.
The emperor's astonishing changes of
his political and personal plans recent
ly have earned for the new nickname of
Wllhelm Dor Ploetzlkhe, (William the
Sudden.) His latest surprise for the
army Is that four Instead of two army
corps, besides two cavalry divisions
shall take part In the great maneuvers
before Kmperor Franz Joseph in the
Stettin district. The change Is sup
posed to be due to his wish to show the
Austrian emperor more troops than
were assembled before the German sov
ereigns at Guens in ISI'X
The Vorwaerts, Social Democrat, de
voted two columns of editorial Invective
to the Standard Oil company last Wed
nesday. It denounced the company a3
a "monster that exploits the consuming
classes," and as "one of those rings that
hasten the social revolution more ef
fectively than any political party."

Buffalo, N. Y., April 2S "Toronto
Bed," the now famous newsboy, made
an addition today to his already long

he was Immediately pulled into a boat
by bis comivanlons and was apparently
