SHERIFF OFFERS $500 REWARD
Young Woman Is Said to Have
Been With Anna Sohumacher
When She Was Decorat
ing the Graves.
Rochester, N. Y.. Aiitf. 11. After
thlrty-slx hours of ceaseless activity
the police are without a dellnlto clew
to the murderer of no nteen-year-old
Anna Schumacher, whose body was
i discovered In a shallow urave near
Holy Sepneher cemetery.
An autopsy has proved beyond doubt
that criminal attack was the motive
for the crime and that the girl fought
her assailant with all her strength, suc
ctimlilnj; only when strangled to death.
The missinj; umployee of St. ISer
liard's seminary has boon found. Ho
left work Saturday morning and is un
der treatment In a local hospital for
ivy poisoning.
Ko suspicion attaches to him, as he
left the vicinity before the girl went to
the cemetery.
Mrs. Schumacher believes Anna was
murdered by an employee of Holy So
pulcher cemetery. She bases this be
lief ou the fact that recontly several
girls have been followed and chased
by men working In the burial ground.
A patrol wagon with policemen was

It Is a common notion that genuine

from the imitation article by the fact
that the real thing floats on water; but
imitation meerschaum floats also. Ini

which will color better thau the real.

the color Is likely to come lu streaks.
It Is difllcult for a man who Is not in

A BONFIRE OF BOOKS.
International Bible Lesson for
Aug. 15, '09 (Acts 19: 18-20).
The city of Ep
heaus in Paul's
day was as full
of ngigicians and
necromancers as
New York city is
of fortune tellers.
And one of the
most ludicrous
spectacles Imag
inable of the at
tempt of the
sons of Sceva to
cast out a spirit
from a demoni
ac is recorded in
the story of to-
lay. They came into tho presence
of tlie patient and went through
their incantations, pronouncing the
irir.ic of Jesus as Paul did.
But to their consternation the man
cried out, "Jesus I know, and Paul I
know; but who are you?" and he pitch-
d Into them tore their clothes off
from them, and kicked them Into
the street. And the whole city
laughed.
Not only so, but a serious moral ef
fect was produced also. A conviction
settled upon the whole community
that Paul was right, and the wizards
and black-art professors were wrong.
Chagrined and ashamed at their fail
ure, the dealers in forbidden arts
themselves admitted their hypocrisy,
deception and fraud, they turned from
It In genuine repentance, brought all
their books and Implements of wick
edness, started a bonfire in the mar
ket place, dumped the literature into
the flames and kept stirring them up
till the last leaf of the last volume
went up In smoke. That was a re
markably thorough disinfection of tho
moral atmosphere in tho streets of
Ephesus. Thoso people literally burnt
up property in the public street to the
amount of about ten thousand dollars.
First Thoughts Best.
Now the first lesson is this; When
men are convinced that reformation is
necessary they ought to act Instantly.
Many a man sits cogitating so long
over the question of duty that the
eggs of his resolution are addled be
fore he makes up his mind. We
should not only strike while the iron
is hot hut make it hot by striking. If
those Ephosiaii wizards had slept over
the question of destroying their hooks,
I very much doubt if they had done
It To say of eny matter like this, "I
vill think It over," Is usually to find a
good many excuses for not doing It.
lie who hesitates is lost, flood reso
lutions are much like lare game; the
wire hunter dons not wait for the flock
to settle, but taker, it on the wing.
First thoughts are best thoughts, and
:eed no reconsideration. One would
suppose to hear some people talk that'
'he race is so determined on doing
'Iijht, so bent and inclined heaven
vard, so liable to storm the portals
of light and stampede into glory, that
It is very essential to screw the
brakes down hard, !est we should be
come righteous overmuch. There is
not tho slightest danger in that direc
tion. Most of us need a spur more
than wo do a chcck-reln. There are
plenty of brakemen on the heavenly
train; what we need Is a few more
firemen to shovel fuel and attend to
keeping the steam up.
Burn Your Bridges.
And the next thing is; Make thor
ough work of the reformation. Many
a man goes back to his old ways be
cause he makes the way of return so
easy. Wheu God took the children of
Israel out of Egypt he put the Red
Sea between them and their old home
as speedily as possible. He got them
away from the vicinity as quick as he
could. Ho knew that the leeks, onions
and garlic, would have a mighty fas
cination to the Hebrews as long as
they stayed In the neighborhood, and
ho put them on a different diet the mo
ment they began to get hungry, a plan
which kept their attention till they
got so far away they couldn't go back.
That was a wise general, who, on
landing his troops in an enemies'
country burnt his ships in the har
bor. The soldiers realized then that
It was victory or death, and the knowl
edge made every man a hero.
These Epheslans made it impossible
to return to their old ways by burn
ing their books. I have heard of a
woman who felt that it was sinful to
wear flowers and Jewelry, and she
took all her personal finery and gave
it to her sister. Not If it is not good
enough for you, it is not good enough
for anybody.
For if tho gambler only puts his
cards on the upper shelf, and takes
them down now and then to dream
over the games he used to play, ho
will end by going back. And if the
drinking man only puts his decanter
a little farther back on the shelf, and
occasionally takes It down to hold It
up to the light, and to smoll of it, he
will go back to drinking as sure as
fate. And if the slave of tobacco keeps
taking down bis pipe and mourning
over It, be will soon bo burning the
fragrant weed.
The only safe course, the only radi
cal and thorough course, is to imitate
the example of the Epheslan converts
and make a glorious bonfire of the
thlnca of which you would be free.

Iowa Senator Dcdares War
on Aldrich faction.
WILLING TO BE A CANDIDATE.
Says Republican Platform Pledges
Must Be Fulfilled and Pro
poses Appointment of Tar
iff Commission.
Chicago, Aug. 10. War to the limit,
with no quarter asked or given and
with the control of the Kepublleun na
tional organization the one great prize
at stuko, is olik silly declared by the
progressive Republicans.
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa,
homeward bound from Washington,
flung down tho gantlet and delivered
the political ultimatum which was a
declaration of war between the pro
gressive or Insurgent Republicans nnd
the Aldricii-Payue faction, which put
the in riff bill through congress. He In
timated he would be willing to lead
the tight as candidate for president hi
1012. He said:
"Wo shall present the Issue flatly to
every Republican convention between
SENATOR A. 15. CVMMINS.
the present and the national conven
tion of l'.lVJ where It is possible for the
issue lo be presented. That Issue Is.
Shall the men now in control of party
destinies lie permitted further to (lis-1
regard plain party declarations? i
"The Democratic party has demon
strated thoroughly its Innocuous in
ability to be trusted with the formula
tion of a tariff law for the fulled
States," said Senator Cummins. "I do
not foresee any serious possibility of a
Democrat ir conv.ro.-sloiial or national
victory because of I he passage of the
new tariff law.
"Any Republican law based upon the
underlying principle' of protection is
preferable to any Democratic law
based upon the principle of tariff for
revenue. All Republicans will litfht
together when dumicr of a Democratic
congress heaves in sight.
"In my judgment the tariff never
niruin will lie an Issue between the
Republican and Democratic parlies. It
Is the decisive lsue between the two
well defined elements within the Re
publican party. It is an Issue which
must be settled definitely nt the next
national convention."
The Items emphasized by Senator
Cummins ns critical points to be push
ed to the fore by the progressives are
these:
First. Placing In control at the head
of organized Republicanism men who
will stand absolutely by platform
pledges.
Second. Struggle for this policy at
every convention, local, congressional
or state, between now and 1012. where
there are enough progressive Repub
licans to make It worth while.
Third. No general revision of the
tariff for perhaps a decade, but revi
sion from time to time in particular
schedules, as export Investigation
demonstrates to be necessary, nnd at
the same time conforming with the
broad principle of protection.
Fourth Appointment of nn expert
tariff commission at the earliest prac
ticable moment to furnish this in
formation to congress.
Fifth. No opposition to President
Taft, whom the progressives bellove
to have a thoroughly progressive pro
gram In hand for his administration,
at least until the presidential policy
demonstrates the contrary.
The Cummins platform, on which
ho will begin to battle this fall in
Iowa, calls for tbo appointment of a
tariff commission. This committee he
would have composed of experts, sit
ting In coutlnuol session for the col
lection of data ou schedules. This
information he would have at the dis
posal of congress at each session.
On this be would readjust the tariff
from year to yeur, according to in
ternational business requirements.
"The progressives," he said, "al
ready have indicated by tholr fight in
congross how the bnttlo is to be
fought. It means that It is time for
a new alignment of tho Republican
parry's forces. Seven of the ten rep
resentatives from Iown may bo called
progressives. They bellove that a new
alignment is necessary. It Ir probablo
the fight will begin there this fall. I
expect to take part in It."

SUTTON I
Sticks to Her Story That
Son Was Beaten to Death.
THEN SHOT BY "LOW BRUTES"
She Says Her Boy Appeared to Her
After Death and Said, "Mother,
Denr, I Never Killed
Myself."
Annapolis, Md., Aug. 10. Remarka
ble letters written by Mrs. Rosa It,
Sutton, mother of Lieutenant James
N. button, whose death at the marine
barracks here on the night of Oct, l'J.
11)07, Is being investigated by the court
of inquiry, were read before the court.
The letters had been wrllten to Har
ry M. Schwarz. In the paymaster's of
fice of the murine corps at Washing
ton. It came out that Schwarz hud
turned over the letters to the judge
advocate. Major Leonard. Schwarz ap
parently was the close friend of young
Sutton.
1 u the letters Mrs. Sutton declared
that her son's companions conspired
at Carvel hall to beat the young lieu
tenant, that Lieutenant TJtley was the
prime mover In the plans, that he. Ad
ams and Osterman set upon Sutton
and bent him until he was almost
dead and thot her son was shot to
cover up tho alleged vicious attack
upon him.
As the letters wore read Mrs. Sutton,
who was on the stond all the while,
wept freely. In the first of them she
said:
"Thoso brutes that killed him are
alive and seemingly doing well, while
my poor boy Is dead live months to
day. Oh, CJod! How could those men
be such brutes? Tell me. can I trust
you os one that knew and liked Jim
mle, and 1 will write you. When I tell
you how dear .Tlninile was beaten up
you won't wonder my heart Is broken.
He was dead or nearly so when shot,
nnd that, I believe, was done to hide
It."
In another letter she wrote:
"My Jlinmle was beaten to death.
The shot was only fired to hide tholr
crime. His forehead was crushed,
nose broken, Hp cut open, teeth knock
ed out, big lump under his jaw from a
blow or kick and nn Incision In the
back of his head one and a half Inches
long."
Again she said:
"I consider them worse than wild
beasts, for I always supposed It was
only the latter that killed the helpless."
"The love between Jlinmle and my
self." continued tho mother In anoth
er letter to Schwarz, "was the greatest
that could exist between two persons.
If .Tlmmle met with an nccldent I felt
ll at once, wen, tne night those
beasts were laying their plans for
.llmiule an awful fear came over me
and my two daughters so we could
not talk, and each kept away from
one another from fear of betraying
our feelings. The next day Mr. Sut
ton camo In and asked If 1 could stand
some nwful news, lie told me that
.Tlmmle was reported to have killed
himself.
"Then Jlmmle came up to me and
said: 'Mothrr, dear, don't you believe
It. I never killed myself. Adams
killed me. They bent me to death,
and then Adams shot me to hide the
crime.'
"He told mo how they laid a trap
for him, how he walked into it, how
TTtley grubbed him to pull hini out of
the automobile, how they held hini
and Osternmn beat hini, about his
forehead being broken, his teeth
knocked out and the lump under his
jaw, and how when he was lying on
the ground some one kicked hini In
the side and smashed his watch. He
begged me not to die, but to live nnd
clear his nam.
"I proved some tilings he told me
were true, nnd nfter repeatedly de
manding the evidence nfter four
months I got it, and within the last
mouth I have proved everything he
told me.
"Nothing could separate Jlmmle
from me, not even death, and Adams.
Utley, Potts and Osterman will never
know a moment's rest on earth. Why
should they?"
Mr. Birney demanded to know upon
what evidence Mrs. Sutton based the
foregoing accusation. She replied tlmf
the testimony to her mind proved It.
Sho was mercilessly cross examined,
but never faltered In her statements,
and Mr. Birney could find no vulnera
ble point at which to nttncU her testi
