TIE FAMOUS STRANGLER
Believed to be in Custody in San Francisc
He Declares his innocence.

Believed to be in Custody in San Francisco
He Declares his innocence.
San Francisco, April 24.-Harry
Wilson, the mulatto, whom the police
have arrested on suspicion of being the
man who several years ago strangled
number of women in this city and
Denver, will be- held responsible fol-
several daring robberies, all committed
in the Tenderloin district.
While the detectives and policemen
were securing the city for Wilson,
who recently robbed a Mrs. Griffin and
several other women, he visited the
house of Mrs. Leonard, on Ellis street
and pretended to be smitten with her
charms. While they were in room
on the upper floor Wilson seized his
unsuspecting victim by the throat and
after almost strangling her threw her
over the banister to the floor below.
He then entered other private apart
ments and stole $500. For this ne may
be held on a charge Of assault to MUIR
der. While convinced that he is the
much-wanted stranger, the police say
it will be difficult, if not impossible, to
convict him of the crimes committed
so long ago. Wilson claims that he is
a gambler, and admits having been In
Denver when several women were
foully murdered. He ridicules the sus-
picion that he is the stranger, and
claims to be able to prove his inno-
cence when it is necessary. He also
disclaims any connection with the
murders of women in this city.

r g. O. OFFICIALS HERE.

Thomas fitzgerald, general superin-
tendent; William Gibson, general su"
perintendent of the Pittsburg divisions
of the B. & O., and r. M. Sheats, OIL
Grafton, were in the city yesterday.
These officials of the company were
here on an inspection trip, and during
the day paid visit to the various
wards inside the city limits. Nothing
of special importance was done, but 1t
is understood that more tracks Will De
built some time next month. The COM
ranys freight business is increasing
more and more each month, with the
result that the yards in this district
have been taxed to their utmost ca
pacity. The past week the company
has received so much through traflc
that the yards at Benwood Junction
have been blocked the greater portion
of the time. No passenger trains are
delayed, however, as the company
make ample provision for handling al
important passenger trains. AT tAis
season of the year the business IS al
WAYS largely on the increase, but THIS
year the traffic seems to be more IMAM
what the receivers of the line mad
hOped for.

Underwood,
IN HONOR OF THE NEW GENERAL
MANAGER OF THE B. & GA
NEW DEPOT TO BE ERECTED
B. & O. OFFICIALS IN TOWN
THE ELKS' EXCURSION-GEN
ERAL RAILROAD NEWS.

The town of Pennington, on the
main line of the Baltimore & ONO
railroad, is soon to bear new name.
Sunday Mr.. +. d. Underwood, general
manager of the B. & o., accompanied
by his brother, W. J. Underwood, SUI
perintendent of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, paid visit to the
above town. Their object was not IN
any way to make a change in the sta
tion's name, but to find the grave OF
their grandmother. who was buried
there in the year 1920. On their ar
rival in the town, however, they We're
able to find the cemetery in which the
relative named was buried, and also
several other relatives. The inscrip-
ton of the monument was copied on a
piece of paper, and later Miss Under
wood, a sister Of the two mentioned
gentlemen, will make painting Of the
scene. Before the distinguished party
left Pennington a number of the citi-
zens called On the general manager
and asked him if the town could not
have a new depot. Mr.. Underwood re-
piled that he would have a new one
erected some time this summer. Con-
tinuing further, he said: Now, II l
give you a handsome station Will you
change the name to Underwood.
Everybody, of course, was delighted
with the idea of the new name and at
once began circulating the news OF a
new depot 1t was soon assured that
such a move met with the approval OF
the citizens in general, and a mass
meeting was called for last night. The
result of the meeting was that every
body is ready to sign the petition 10
change the name of the town In honoi
of the general manager OF the COM
pany, not only because OF the new
building, but through respect to his
ancestors who lie buried in the ceme-
terry there. Mr.. Underwood's grand
mother is among the first bodies
buried in the cemetery at Farmingtoh'
and during these seventy-nlne years
hardly any person has reallzed the
fact. 1t is not the general manager $
intention to have the body mos-Is put
from this time on the above town can
expect to see many improvements
made to the place. The new station
will be erected at once, and 1t will be
something that any large-sfzed town
may feel proud of. Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. w. ]. Underwood arrived in
wheeling, having come from Grafton
on the accommodation. He occupied
his private car, and later in, the day
left for Chicago. A Register reporter
had a. short talk with him, however,
and in his conversation he stated that
business in the West is much better
than for quite while past. HIS road
is employing more men, and the out
look for good crops is very encourag-
ing.

GOV. GAGE.
OF California viii Appoint a Senator Pro-
vided Quay Gets "a Seat.

San Francisco, Cal, April 24.-The
Examiner to-day says that just as ne
started for Los Angeles Governor Gage
was asked what he thought of the APP
pointment OF Matthew S. Quay as Sen
ator of Pennsylvania by Governor
Stone, of that State.
Il don't know Quay and I don't
know Stone" he said, "but il your
question has anything to do with the
Senatorship from California, all l have
to say is that have already appointed
Dan Burns as United States Senator TO
succeed Stephen M, White. His COM
mission has not yet been made out,
that's all"
The Governor would not say when
the commission to Col. Burns would
be issued. In fact he refused to discuss
the right of Governor Stone to appoint
Quay Senator He left the impression,
however, that if Quay were seated by
the Senate he will at once issue COM
mission to d. NJ. Burns.

Perfect happiness is not to be won in life's exalted moments. It is in so order ing our daily lives that we are in perfect harmony with those with whom God has called us to live To be heroic and noble in the eyes of the world will not bring us happiness if our daily associates know us to be mean and selfish in the little actions of everyday toll. Charity begins at home" and it is tat home'' we must look for happiness if we would have happiness in it's highest and most durable sense.- Selected.

THE great prosperity and steady in
crease in business in this city as shown
in the bank statements are most graft
tying. Never before has this city
shown such glorious promise for the
future as it does at this moment. In
every line of business activity is shown,
and proper application to business
along legitimate lines invariably brings
substantial results. OF course. at this
time and place as at all others, unsafe
methods will produce unstable condi-
tions. Wild cat concerns will go to
the wall from time to time as they al
ways do, but the business man who,
with abiding faith in the future OF Ell
Paso, goes ahead and builds steadily
on a firm foundation, is the n who is
going to reap the greatest benefit dur
ing the years to come.

SPAIN SHOWS HER HATRED.
Attack On manila Declared The
Judgment Of God On sAmer-
Trans

Attack On manila Declared The
Judgment Of God On sAmer-
leans.
A Madrid dispatch in the Globe
Democrat says: The following Is from
the Imparcial:
'The attack.on Manila was the judg-
ment of God upon the Americans, who,
after despoiling Spain. are beginning
to feel the consequences. II only the
Spanish prisoners had been released
we should regard the affair with com
plete Indifference.
"The insurgents number 80, 600 men,
of whom 1000 are armed with Mausers
and 10, 600 are armed with RemingtOns.
If they continue the struggle, the
Americans will be driven out OF the
Philippine Islands"
The newspapers here to-day publish
an interview with q minister, who de-
clared tina the Philippines are ''going
to cost the Americans dear, as the FL
lipinos are not so susceptible to brides
as the Cubans."
The minister is quoted as adding;
1.-THE Americans will repulse any at
tack on Manila, but such a victory will
be of no advantage to the United Sta
tes, for the insurgents, embittered by
defeat, will be less disposed to make
an arrangement duu bDt
struggle will go on in the Hinterland,
which will be very unfavorable to the
Americans, who are absolutely in
capable of mountain warfare. The sit
uation of the Americans is very crlti'
cal. They will be compelled to grant
independence to the Filipinos in spite
of the fact that they will thereby bring
upon themselves the worlds ridicule.'
The minister also expressed the be:
belief that the rupture at Manila would
influence the United States, "because
the anti-annexationists will point out
that the annexation of the Philippine
Islands will demand enormous and I'M
called-for sacrifices of men AND
money"
Continuing, the minister said: "The
rebels, therefore, have shown clever.
ness in choosing the eve of the ratifica
tion of the treaty for an outbreak. 1t
is very regrettable that the opening OF
hostilities will necessarily a%ggravate
the situation of the Spauiards In the
PhiliDDines."

"SAM HOUSTON SQUARE,"

The council last night by a vote OF
i've to two agreed to name the new city
park Buckler Square. The mayor OBJ
iected and it is understood that ne will
probably decide against the PROPOSE
ton. The mayor is right. 1t is to be
hoped that he will veto it without de-
lay.
The HERALD has not expressed any
opinion as to the matter of naming the
park, but at the request of a number OF
citizens it ran for a day or two q coupon
by mean of which the people OF tie
city could express their preferences.
1t is needless to say that as the park
belongs to the city. and by far the
greater part of the improvements have
been and are to be paid for by the city,
through appropriation by the city
council, the people of the city should
be heard in the naming of the park.
It is almost without precedent to
name so important a park after q local
parsonage. It would stamp the enter
prise as a personal venture, and would
initiate against the chances for future
embellishments.
The people have expressed their
preference in the matter in no uncer.
tain terms. The HERALD made no eff
fort to guide the choice of the people.
but when the votes were counted ii
was found that more than three times
as many people had chosen ''Sam
Houston or "Houston' as a suitable
name than had voted for all other
names put together.
Among the miscellaneous votes were
all sorts of suggestions, Dewey taking
the lead, but not n selected the
name which the city council, in
sublime Tor ridiculous) disregard of the
peoples choice, have picked for the
park.
Even after the coupon was taken out
of this paper, votes for Houston kept
coming in in large numbers, and there
was no evidence whatever that any
campaigning was being carried on
The votes came from every section OF
the city and from all sorts OF people.
It was a fair contest and the result
may be taken as conclusive.
The people have selected "Sam
Houston Square" as q suitable name.
