Woman Diet In Husband's Arms Ex hausted Man Is Hauled Ashore With Ropes After Holding on to His Wife an Hour Lost Crip on Dead Wife, Whose Body Was Later Recovered 100 Feet From Brink of the Falls. Louis Cohen of Buffalo saw bis young wife leap Into the swirling river between Second and Third Sinter Is lands at Nlagnra Falls at about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, only 150 feet above the brink of the cataract. Without a moment's hesitation he followed her, caught her hand and struggled desperately to save her. Mrs. Cohen probably died In her husband's arms. Before it was pos sible to bring efficient help an hour had passed, all of which time Cohen was making frantic attempts to reach the shore. But the struggle against the current at this point It is about twenty miles an hour was beyond human muscle. Fortune aided him. With his wife tightly clasped to him he felt himself bump into a grounded tree stump and on this he got a grip with his one free hand. Cohen lustily shouted for help and word was carried to the reservation IkjIIco, but It was nearly an hour after Mrs. Cohen jumped Into the river that Officer James Martin arrived with ropes. Representative James S. Simons and three other men came with hlnj Three twis they threw the rope, before it fell within Cohen's graRp. When he did catch it he was too weak to tie It. about his own or his wife's waist. The two were twenty feet away from shore and It was extreme ly difficult, owing to the precarious nature of the footing, to make a good cast. Pinned against that tree stump by the terrific rush of water, all the struggle had gone out of Cohen. And, too. he had been unable to keep his wife's face above water. Once Cohen had hold of the rope the men on shore began to pull and Officer Martin, who was in the front, slipped and fell Into the stream but quickly regained his feet. When within fifteen feet of the shore Cohen lost his grip on his wife's body and it was carried off down stream and was lost to view. Cohen was so far gone when the rescuers got him on shore that he could not speak for ten minutes. His first words were: "She Is out there. Co and get her. She is dead. She died In my arms." William Barnet and Hugh Brown, who had Joined the searchers, finally spied th Vdy Just before 7 o'clock. It was t C fast by a rock, about 100 feet ab. vt the brink. Without rones Brown urd Barnet waded out Into the stream ami, moving carefully over the slippery rocks, reached the body. Just as Brown touched the body the current caught it again and It whirled around In an eddy. It was with the greatest difficulty that the two men brought the body to land. Life was unite extinct. MAD BUTCHER RUNS AMUCK Kills Five and Fatally Wounds Three Fellow Employes. John Murphy, a pig sticker In the plant of the North Packing and Pro vision company at Kust Somervllle, near Boston, suddenly became a raving maniac and ran amuck among more than 100 of his fellow workmen, killing live almost instantly, fatally wounding three others and slashing several more to a lesser extent before he was overpowered. Shortly after 2 o'clock, he suddenly uttered a terrific shriek, and jumped at Dr. Hayes, waving a flfteen-inch, razor-edged knife In his hand. He cut a deep gash In Dr. Hayes' neck, stab bed him over the heart, and practical ly disemboweled him. The terrified workmen rushed for the door, but were not quick enough to escape Murphy, who ran after them, slashing right and left. Every man he struck went down with a groan. The men plunged downstairs with Marphy after them, and at every land ing he struck somebody. On the sec ond floor, one of tho workmen, an Ital ian, seized a heavy bar of Iron and felled Murnhy to the floor, but he was quickly on his feet again and wounded another man.

PATRICK'S APPEAL DENIED Court Holds That Degree of Punish ment Is Not Determined by Pref erence of Convict. Albert T. Patrick's appeal for "lib erty or death" was denied by the ap peltate division of the supreme courl In Brooklyn. In the opinion of the court, which waB written by Justice Jenks, th most striking paragraph is one hold ing that the "degree of punishment it not determined by the preference M the convict." This was In answer to Patrick's declaration that life Imprls onmcnt was a greater hardship than death. The opinion says in part: "I find no force In the contention that there cannot be a commutation of the punishment of death to that ol life Imprisonment, because commuta tion Implies a less punishment, but life Imprisonment Is a greater pun ishment than death. The degree ol punishment is not determined by the Individual preference of a convict. II Is the common Judgment of man to deprive the criminal of his life is the greatest punishment known to mod ern times. "The people of this state have In effect determined that this penalty Is the most oevere by prescribing It as the punishment for the highest crimes only murder in the first degree and treason and by prescribing that In the former case only the appeal Is di rect to our highest court. There can be no question that, as regards the offender, our scheme of punishment regards that punishment which leaves life as less than that which ends it. "The relator argued that he had never accepted the commutation, but he concede? In his printed points that commutation does not require his ac ceptance. Such I think is the law." BURNED WOMEN'S FEET Brutal Outrage by Five Masked Men In a Mining Town. A brutal outrage perpetrated by un known robbers Sunday at BelmonJ, Pa., has aroused the community and a lynching is threatened In the event the men are captured. Five men, all masked, broke Into the home of Mrs. Minnie Ashe, aged 90 years, in the outskirts of the mining village and ransacked the place. With the aged woman were her daughter, Mrs. Mary Ober, 60 years old, and her granddaughter, Miss Min nie Ober, 22 years old. The men found only $3.50 in the house, and believing there was more, they tope cords from the pictures hanging on the walls and fastened the three women to chairs. They tl.en bared the women's feet and hfld lighted candles to them. Partially unconscious the women were otherwise abused. Before leaving the bouse the burglars released Miss Ober, who late In the afternoon re covered sufficiently to summon help. The entire mining village is search ing for the men.

Hughes Spoke of Growing Demand For Technics. Dr. Richmond After Being Formally Installed Announced Policy He In tended ot Pursue Usefulness of a College Is Not Measured by Its Foot ball Record, Still It Is a Good Thing to Know How to Play Game Well. College Man Should Be Leader. Schenectady, June 8. In the pres ence of Governor Hughes and' repre sentatives of many of the important universities and colleges in the East, Including President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton and President Woolsey Stryker of Hamilton college, Rev. Charles Alexander Richmond, former pastor of the Madison Avenue Presby terian church of Albany, was formally InduiVd into office as president of Union college and chancellor of Union uni entity. The ceremonies began with an acad emic procession in 'cap and gown, which formed at the college and marched to the First Presbyterian church, some distance away, where the installation took place. The mem bers of the graduating class led the procession, followed by President-elect Richmond and Governor Hughes, the college representatives, members of the board of trustees, the faculty and the alumni. Dr. Silas B. Brownell, president of the board of trustees of Union col lege, presided and after prayer by Dr. Stryker introduced Governor Hughes. The governor l:uided Union for what It has done In the educational field and predicted even greater achieve ments under its new leadership. He spoke of the growing demand for teaching technical subjects at Union, due to tho big Industries in Schenec tady, and added that "Union can't let go of the standards of liberal culture or the demand for technical subjects that is at your door." The governor said that the best con tributions a college can make to a young man is to "give him as his lead er or Instiuctor a true man of honest convictions and sincere desire to up lift the life of fellow men. Such a man is Dr. Richmond." Dr. Wilson discussed the problems and duties of a college president. "It Is characteristic of our school sys tems," said he, "that they lack sys tem. Ameilca is very eager Just now for disinterested counsel and it Is be cause they think they will receive it from colleges that college presidents are tailed upon to speak so much." Dr. Wil3on declared that the "real enemies of the country are the men who do damage and do not know It. The. men who know the Interior se crets of life are the men whom the modern country needs." Dr. Richmond after being formally installed announced the policy he In tended to pursue. "1 should welcome the day," he said, "when all questions of discipline should he matters to be dealt with by the students themselves. I believe that day will com.e. "The time and thought given to col lege sport will be limited only by the prior demands of college work. The contribution of a college to the nation Is not measured by its rootball record; nevertheless it is a good thing to know how to play tho game well. Ev ery man should have at least one drop of sporting blood In his veins. "A college man has no right to be an idler or a selfish scholar or a mere money-getter. He Is to be the guide, the friend, the teacher, the liberator; if need be, the martyr." Addresses were made also by Simon W. Rosendale of Albany, president of the board of governors of Union uni versity, and Rev. Dr. George Alexan der, president ad Interim of Union college. WHAT IS WHISKEY? Solicitor General Upsets Previous Rul ing of Agricultural Department. Washington, June 8. Lloyd W. Bowers, solicitor of the United States, submitted to President Taft his opin ion as to what the term "whiskey" means in law. In effect Solicitor General Bowers holds, after discussing at great length what the term "whiskey" meant at the time of the passage of the pure Vod law, that the puMlc does not con sider that added coloring or flavoring enn make whiskey out of what other wise Is not whiskey. Whiskey is re garded generally and naturally as hav ing a flavor and properties of Its own. "There Is no more reason for say ing that alcohol becomes whiskey be cause colored or flavored like some trne whiskey than for saying that al cohol becomes brandy because col ored or flavored like some brandy." he says. "On the other hand the mere addition of coloring or flavor ing matter does not destroy Its whis key character unless such addition un duly dilutes or otherwise affects the essential properties of the whiskey. The mixture of whiskey with alco hol or neutral spirits Is entitled to the name whiskey, Mr. Bowers holds, pro vided the mixture retains a substan tial amount of by-products In propor tion to the volume of the mixture, giv ing distinctive flavor and properties. He says that the addition of alcohol to whiskey Is not the introduction of a foreign substance, but la merely an enlargement of the proportion of one proper constituent 'YEAR DISGUISES ON RAIDS Ohio Bootleggers Take Officers Foi Farmers.

STEEL STOCKS IN PARIS Are to Be Admitted to Official Quota tion on Floor of the Exchange. Paris, June 8.
