ALBANY, Feb. 5.-Senator O'Connor nitro
duced. for Senator Saxton, the ballot re-
form bill Of the Peoples Municipal league,
which was brought 10 Albany by l.. L. Della
field. Ii provides for blanket ballot, IN
which the party tickets are grouped in paral-
lei columns at the top Of each column is
the name Of the party and its device. An
illiterate voter can take into the voting
booth simple ballot and can mark the de-
vice with a stamp thus signifying his inten-
ti0n to vote the entire party ticket In the
case Of split ticket, the voter can mark
each name separately or can stamp the de-
vice al the top Of one column, scratch the
names he does not want on that ticket and
mark corresponding candidates in other
party columns Professor Collin, the gov
ernor's legal adviser, informed Mr.. Delaiield
that such a ballot, with the concomitant
sample ballot, could not be considered uncon-
stitutional, as it would not disfranchise the
ilhterate voter. The bill, whatever its mer-
its, viii receive but small consideration, rs

their own II win not be introduced, how
ever, for several weeks.
Sohmer's anti-Pinkerton bill passed the
assembly by vote Of 80 to ~ General
Hustled fought the bill with great apparent
earnestness. He said that professional
labor agitators We're no better than profess
sional thieves This statement excited the
ire Of Sul2er, who said that Hustled, while
chairman Of the Republican state execu-
tive committee, met a number Of labor agi-
tators in the Delevan House during the last
campaign. What passed there no one knew,
but Immediately afterward these labor agi-
tators went through the state working for
Husted's candidate. The candidate was de
feated and Sulzer thought that might be
the reason why Hustled now called them
professional thieves. Hustled denied that
he had ever had a conference with labor
Rgitators in the Deievan House. He reiter-
ated his statement that the professional la
Dor agitatofs, whom he said were anarchists
and socialists, were thieves.
'They are 'snides,'n he shouted, "who
never earned an honest days wage They
are not worl1ingnen. No man has a greater
respect or has done more for real laboring

thieves who fatten on the fruits of the hard
labor of the honest workingmen.n

eide and Tells the Reason Why.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. az. G. Fitzsim-
mons, the Pittsburg murderer, made
desperate attempt to end his life in the
parish prison by cutting his throat. He was
being taken care Of in the hospital depart
ment Of the prison. lie got up IN the morn
ing and after dressing himself wrote a letter
which he placed IN bis pocket. Then he
asked for cigar, and when nurse pro
missed TO 90 out and secure some paper he
went 10 a bed, threw himself upon it and
drew a blanket over his face Those in the
room heard him groaning but believed he
was dreaming.
About twenty minutes after Fitzsimmons
had laid down Detective Murphy and q
Pittsburg newspaper man came TO the
hospital and going 70 the bed pulled OF the
blanket. They were startled TO see tltz-
simmons covered with blood and gasping
Assistance was Immediately sent for and an
examination showed thet the murderer had
stabbed himself with q penknife three times
on the left side and once on the right, the
knife penetrating deeply He had BLEED for
twenty minutes and was very weak The
wounds were stitched up but the doctors
said the man would probably die
The letter Fitzsimmous wrote was adj
dressed 10 & II Fitzsimmons, William Fit2-
simmons and The Times Democrat and
Picayune In il he states that the last year
| Of his existence was Of lamentahle char
aeter and that he has pursued crime which
has placed his liberty in jeopardy. Prefer.
ring death to Imprisonment, he made up his
mind to kin himself, which would prevent
further mental worry and relieve his pa
rents from further disgrace. He says his
wife was improperly convicted az the Ale

fessed, he seemed 10 be greatly detected.
When his house was searched a false black
beard was found 1t win be remembered
that Ward Waterbury said one Of the men
who abducted him bad black beard and it
Is believed that Charles put this on as a dis
guise 70 prevent Ward from identifying
him.
There was q tremendous crush for adnis-
sion at the city hall when the three prison
ers were arraigned before Judge Hoyt and
the police were powerless to control the
mob that fought and struggled to get into
the court room. When court opened the
room was densely packed by a crowd OF
spectators. Waterbury and Sutherland were
then arraigned on a charge Of abduction,
and Mccain, who has turned states evil
dence was put on the witness stand.
Intended TO KIN Ward.
He told how Charles e. Waterbury had
approached him and proposed the abduction
OF Ward Waterbury. Charles Il. Waterbury
planned the whole affair and told, McCann
that the boy must be kept in the house until
the money was obtained McCann says that
Waterbury told him he intended to kill his
cousin Ward if he didn't get that S6,000
Mccain told Waterbury that it was bad
enough to kidnap the boy, but he would not
have the child's blood on his hands. He
would not be party to murder He said
he would throw up the whole affair.
McCann then denied that he was one OF
the men who kidnapped Ward. He said be
gave up the job the night before and told
Charles e. Waterbury that he would have
nothing to do with him.
The authorities have reason to believe
that this last statement is untrue. When
Ward Waterbury was asked in court if he
could identify McCann as one his abductors
he said, "He look just like one Of them
would look with his goatee on" McCann
has always worn goatee, and had just fin
ished shaving it of when he was arrested.
The next witness was Ward Waterbury
and a buzz Of excitement went around the
room as he took the stand. He told tho
story Of his abduction practically the same
as published. The boy shuddered as he re-
lated the story Of how he was stolen. He
evidently has not recovered thoroughly
from his fright.
May Be Tried in New York.
Waterbury was held to appear before the
criminal part Of the superior court in Bridge
port, Conn, Feb. Is. McCann was held for
the same court, but Sutherland was held in
s., 600 bail to appear in the court here. Dis
triet Attorney Platt, Of White Plains, n. Y,
has issued subpoenas for Charles Z. Water
bury, his wife and the abducted boy TO aps
pear before the grand jury. II indictments
are found an application win be made to the
governor Of Connecticut for the extradition
of Waterbury and McCann. In Connecticut
the extreme penalty for kidnapping is three
years, but in New York it is fifteen years.
