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.

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.

GOV. 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. Me engaged coun
sel to bring action looking to his re
lease. VOLUME OF TRADE LARGER
Business Seems to Have Regained Its
Confidence.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Business confidence Is strengthen
ing and there is slightly more dispo
sition to extend operations further
into the future. Most advices indi
cate a larger volume of trade than a
year ago, while some Industrial cen
ters report more machinery active,
with a reduction In the number of
unemployed. Lower temperatures
have had a stimulating effect on dls
tiihutlon of merchandise at retail and
the fall season appears to be opening
up fairly well.
"Pig iron reflects increased firm
ness, with heavy sales of southern
Iron a feature. The strong statistical
position of copper has been reflected
a continued rise In prices."
Princess Sophia Commits Suicide.
Despondent because of her father's
imposition to her marrying the man ot
her choice, Princess Sophia of Saxe
Weiiner, aged twenty-live, killed her
self in her room in her father's castle
In Heidelberg, Germany, by shooting
herself with a revolver. The act Is
supposed to have been caused by mel
ancholia brought on because of the
apparent unsurmountable obstacles to
her marriage to the man of her choice
and tin; hopeless loveless luture be
fore her.
