DO IT NOW Subscribe lor THIS PAPER TORTURED, HE TELLSOF GRIME Wolfshon Goes to Piecss After Reading of Schmidt Case CONFESSES MURDERING GIRL Rochestr (N. Y.) Mystery of Four Years Ago Cleared by Story of Rob bery Suspect in Philadelphia. Jacob Wolfshon, confessed murderer of Anna Catherine Schumacher four years ago in Holy Sepulchre cemetery, Rochester, N. Y., was brought to a realization of bis crime by reading of the atrocity committed in New York by Hans Schmidt. This was IiIh ad mission to Detective Cameron in Phila delphia, where he was arrested on a charge of burglary. Wolfshon made two unsuccessful at tempts at suicide in his cell. The first time he was found strang ling with a safety pin In his throat that he had attempted to swallow. The second time he had evaded the watch fulness of the turnkey and tieing his shirt, which he had stripped into a cord, was found with the noose tight ibout his neck and his feet were bent up under him. He was cut down by Surgeon Eagan and resuscitated. He was then placed in a cell and a police detailed on duty before his door. On Aug. 7, 1909, Wolfshon strangled Miss Schumacher while she was placing flowers on the graves of her father and sister and concealed the body in the woods and then returned at aight and buried it. For four years he kept his secret. But hjs conscience was not thoroughly dead;, down deep it was pulsating faintly and the Schmidt murder was the lash that brought it back to ting ling activity. Samuel Marks, his landlord, gave a vivid description of the awakeninp of the conscience of Wolfshon. When the confessed murderer came here three weeks ago he was an unemotion al being, a healthy young man who apparently had no worries and slept peacefully a night. "Then," said Marks, "he read of the Schmidt case. I never saw a man change so. His face became sallow, his eyes grew wild and he paced the floor continually. He could not sleep at night. Once I said: 'Wolfshon, what makes you so troubled?' "A hunted look came over his face and he replied: 'Oh, I'm worried about a girl over in New York state. I can't forget about her, that's all.' Way into the night we could hear him pacing the floor." "I'M GOING TO BE FREE" So Says Harry Thaw While His Coun sel Scrap Among Themselves. The wrangle between Harry Thaw end his lawyers at Concord, N. H., continued to bubble and boil. It ap pears that Thaw will be represented before Governor'Felker by New Hamp shire lawyers only. Mr. Grossman intimated before leav ing, however, that his absence here would be necessitated by Important work In connection with the case in New York. He denied there was any trouble among the lawyers. Thaw did not seem much perturbed at the break in his retinue. Said he: "What I am going to do when I am free; what am I goini; to do? Why, I'm not going to buy the old home stead of Mrs. Eddy at Concord. Ha! ha!" laughed he. "I'm going to Pitts burg. And by the wav, I'd like to tell you something." At this point Thaw reduced his voice to a whisper. "I am going to be free." ASHURST'S GENTLE FLING Wall Street Wants Troops to "Safe guard Itself Against People." "If Wall street is asking for troops to protect itself," said Senator Ashurst, discussing that a regiment of troops should be stationed at Gover nors Island, "it Is probably planning to bring about a panic and wants to be safe from popular resentment which such a fabricated and cooked up panic by Wall street will bring about." His opinion was based on the sug gestion in the petition sent to Senator O'Gorman and signed by leading firms in Gotham's financial world that troops close at hand would quickly put an end to any uncivlc disturbance. "Wall street has no need for alarm and no cause to try to Influence congress by a pretense of fright," said Senator "Vristow. Conflr ns Slavery Report. William H.

CURRENCY BILL GOES TOSENATE Expected to Remain There For Considerable Tims Passed by the house by a voto of 286 to S i the administration's currency bill now goes to the senate, where it is certain to remain many weeks. The banking and currency commit tee hus summoned mauy witnesses and formal consideration of the bill by the senate is far in the distance. Twenty-four Republicans and four teen Progressives joined with the Democrats in voting for tiie bill in the house. Threo Democrats voted against it. The measure would eliminate the present American banknote system, under which banks issue currency against government bonds, and es tablish a currency to be issued by twelve federal reserve banks, based on sound commercial paper, which the government assumes the responsibility of redeeming in gold or lawful money. It would place practically every phase of hanking under the control of a federal reserve board of seven mem bers appointed by the president, and a council of bankers which would have advisory powers only. The sys tem would be administered through the reserve banks in twelve geograph ical divisions of the country. At the eleventh hour the house wrote into the bill a disclaimer of any intention to alter the gold money Btandard fixed by law. A separate voto was demanded by Representative Wingo of Arkansas on '.he sound money amendment. There 'vas a division showing an overwhelm Hg majority for the amendment, but Mr. Wlngo demanded the ayes and noes. When the roll call was com pleted it was found that the sound money amendment had won by a vote of 2i)8 to !), or more than 4 to 1. SAUTTER HEADS S. OF V.

SULZER f IS BEING TRIED Impeachment Court Organized in New York Capitol LOSES IMPORTANT CONTENTION Ten Judges of the Court of Appeals Sit With State Senators to Try Sut ler Judge Cullen Presiding Officer. Governor Sulzer's battle before the high court of Impeachment in the New York state capitol Is on in earnest. The governor was beaten on his Im portant contention that Senators Frawley, Ramsperger and Sanner should be expelled from the court be cause they are members of the Fraw ley committee and Senator Wagner because lie would step Into the lieu tenant governor's shoes If Mr. Sulzer were removed. It was Presiding Judge Cullen who really determined that the Frawley committee senutors and Senator Wag ner were legitimate members of the court. Mr. Merrick earnestly marshal led his arguments for the right to challenge these men. Admitting the precedents were against him, he said that the precedents were wrong that this court should set a new one. Judgo Parker, who replied, peered into his tory in recalling impeachment trials wherein challenges had been of no avail. The high court as organized has fifty-seven members and thirty-eight will be necessary for conviction. After the high court of Impeach ment had been organized to try Gov ernor Sulzer of New York Presiding Judge Cullen announced a decision ot much importance. He announced that tho three justices of the appellate division of the supreme court, Hlscock, Chase and Miller, who are members of the court of appeals by designation, should Bit in judgment on Governor Suler as well as the seven regularly elected judges. Witli these ten Judges sitting with tho forty-nine members of the senate the two-thirds vote required to expell Mr. Sulzer, as calculated by the impeachment managers, would be forty. Judge Chase is shown at the top and Judge Hlscock at the bottom. The eight articles of Impeachment voted against Governor Sulzer by the assembly are in substance: Thut lie filed with the secretary of state a false statement or his receipts and other monetary transactions during his gubernatorial campaign. That lie committed perjury In this statement. That he bribed witnesses to with hold testimony from the legislative committee which investigated his cam paign accounts. That he suppressed evidence by means of threats to keep witnesses from testifying before the Investigat ing committee. That he dissuaded a particular wit ness, Frederick L. Colwell, from at tending, under suhpena, the sessions of the investigating committee. That he committed larceny In spec ulating in stocks with money and checks contributed for his campaign. That while governor he corruptly used his authority to affect prices of securities on the New York stock ex change, in some of which securities he was at the time interested. James G. Garrison, Governor Sul zer's chief graft Investigator, was sent to jail by the assembly for alleged contempt of that body in refusing to answer questions.
