CRIMINALS TO GO FREE.
Judge Holds There Is No DisorderIy
 Conduct.

New York, September 19-Should the view of Judge Wilmot Smith be upheld it is announced that POGO persons serving sentence in the four county jails of Great CT New York may be released. Judge Smith sitting in special term of the su- preme court in Long Island City, has rendered this opinion in a decision on a writ of habeas corpus obtained for two young men who were arrested a month ago on the charge of disorderly con- duct.
 They were sentenced to six months each in the Kings county jail. Judge Smith, after listening to the arguments in the case, ordered the immediate re- lease of the two men, and in ten minutes they were free. It was held by Judge Smith that no magistrate in the city of New York had the right to do anything more than to hold alleged offender for a higher court or for the grand jury. He said that not only was there no such thing as disorderly conduct, but that all that a police magistrate could do when a prisoner was accused of intoxication was to hold him while hrs case was be- ing Investigated by the commissioner of charities.
 The matter will probably be submitted to the appellate court for a ruling.

BLUE JACKETS ARE LANDED.
lnsureent General Herrera Is at San
 Pablo, Near Colon.


 Colon, Colombia, September 19.-several hundred government troops were brought out this morning. and 1t was the intention of the authorities to have them take train for Panama. The railroad company declined to entrain the soldiers on the g o'clock passenger train. but subsequently, placed special train at their disposal
 Shortly after o'clock eighty blue Jack cts from the United States cruiser Gin cinnati, together with two quiek-fring Colt guns, were landed in Colon. This ac- ton Is believed to be due to the receipt of creditable information that a represen- tative of the insurgent general, Herrera, is at San Pablo. station on the railroad. Under these circumstances the govern ment decided not to entrain the troops for Panama. They will remain at Colon.
 In the meantime the railroad dispatched a special tra1n with dennite instructions from Commander Mclean of the CinciE- natl to General Herreras representatives at San Pablo. saying that insurgent troops would not be permitted to stop trains over the isthmus, or board them, as American marines were maintaining the traffic from sea to sea.
 large force of insurgents Is said to be quite close to San Pablo. If this Is so there is likely to be fighting at any moment.
 The return of the special from San Pablo will bring further news of the sit uation.

CONDEMNED MAN
 MAKES LAST FIGHT
WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO PUT STRAPS ON HIM HE FOUGHT DESPERATELY-THE EXECU-
 TONERS FINALLY SUCCEEDED.

New York, September 19.-Peter Her mia was hanged in the county jail at Hackencas, N. J., today for the murder of Barney Kanter. a butcher, but before his execution was accomplished Hernia made a desperate fight.
 When two deputy sheriffs approached him to strap his arms, he suddenly tore off two brass brackets on the side of his cell, and getting into the corridor. leaped over a partition. He then tore off a piece of lead pipe and crouching in a corner shouted that he would brain any one that came near him. By this time the jail was in an uproar.
 The sheriff and his deputies were at first puzzled how to deal with the mur- derer and dsarm him. It was finally de- cided to turn a hose on him. This was done and as Hernia put up his hands to ward off the water from striking him in the face a deputy sheriff ieaped over and grabbed the hand of the murderer in which was the lead pipe. Other deputies quickly rushed In. Hernia was finally overpowered and securely strapped. He was then placed In a chair and carried to the gallows. his clothes dripping wet. He was lifted from the chair and the moose quickly adjusted about his neck. The sheriff then asked him If he had any thing to say.
 He replied in a weak voice: "caood-by, all. Excuse me-"
 The drop was then sprung and Hernia died of stragulation.
 The condemned man during the night asked frequently for whisky and this morning he refused to eat his breakfast when whisky was refused him. He af- forwards smashed a chair in his cell and two priests who were with him had great difficulty in calming him.
 Hernia shot Kanter on November last because the latter would not sell him 5 cents worth of dog meat Kanter ex- plained that his supply was exhausted, but Hernia pretended not to believe him, and upon a second refusal later in the day shot Kanter, who died that evening from the effects of the wound.

BELGIAN QUEEN
 DIES SUDDENLY Mas Seized With an Attack
 of SyRe0pa PHYSICIAN CAME TOO LATE She Was Noted for Piety and Charity, and the Pope Once Sent Her a Token of Esteem-Rrilliant
 Horsewonan.
PHYSICIAN CAME TOO LATE

Spa, Belgium, September 19-Marie Henriette, queen of the Belgians. died here suddenly today at ten mintes before 8 o'clock. Neither her husband. mem- bers of her family nor her majesty's doc tors were present at the time of her death. She was seated at a table eating a little dinner when she was seized with an attack of syncOpe. Dr. Guillaume, who. in the course of the day, had re- toms in the queens condition, was sum- moned immediately, but her majesty was dead before he arrived.
 Two members of her suite were with the queen during her last moments. As soon as the news of the queens death became known a large crowd gathered outside the palace.
 King Leopold had left Bagneres-de- Luchen, France, for Spa and other mem bers of the royal family have been tele- graphed for. M. De Smet de Mayer, the Belgian premier will arrive here tomor- TOW.
 Queen Marie Henriette was a daughter of the late Archduke Joseph of Austria. She was born August 23, 1886. and was married August 22, 1853, to Prince Leo pold of Belgium, son of King Leopold l.. and who ascended the throne at the death of his father as Leopold H., De- cember 10 1S65
 The Queen was noted for her piety and charity, and in recognition of her de- votion to the church the Pope sent her about nine years ago notable token of his high esteem in the form of the golden rose of virtue.
 She was also a aoted and brilliant horsewoman. The queen had been i'll for about three years past of malady of the heart and of recent months her con dition had been so serious that little hope of her recovery was entertained.

 Tickets Will Be Redeemed.
 Louisville, Ky. September l9.-Robert c. Gray, manager of the Southern Ath- 1etic club tonight declared that the 2o- round contest between Terry McGovern and Young Corbett, scheduled for next Monday night, was off as far as his club was concerned. MT. Gray announced that the $30 GOO worth of tickets which have been sold for the bout will be redeemed at any bank.
 The Southern Athletic club is out about S5000 including the forfeit of $500 put up to insure the bringing off of the contest.
 Although the Frankfort decision is con- ceded to be a knockout blow for boxing contests in Kentucky, there is some be- lief in Louisville that the fight will yet be held Monday night. Today's inJunc- ton was against the Southern Athletic club and MT. Gray, and the latter an all connection with the event and sub nitted to the courts decree. This, of course, leaves the field open for some other promoter to take up the contest, as neither pugilist was enjoined by today's decision nor was the ban placed upon boxing contests in Louisville.

Thinks Speaker Has Right to
 Withdraw if He Desires
HE IS NOT 10 BE BLAMED
Former czar of House Says if Gen. Henderson Explains He Sees No Reason Why He Should
 Not Be Believed.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, Sept ptember 19.-(Special.)- Former Speaker Thomas B. Reed of Maine was in Washington for a few hours today and was a caller at the SUI preme court library in the capitol. He expressed himself as being greatly in- terested in the outcome of the Henderson case, and commented briefly upon it.
 MT. Reed plainly evinced his sympathy with the present speaker of the house as if combating the many republican critics of General Henderson's action. who assert that the reason he gave for his withdrawal was not the true req son.
 MT. Reed remarked scornfully; T don't see why, when a man in the political world assigns a good reason for sudden action on his part, even if it be precipi- tate, he cannot be believed Why should not General Henderson's reason as ad- vanced by him be the correct Ae. True, he may have feared defeat and with drew for that reason. and if he did he is not at all to be blamed"
 When MT. Reed was asked what in his opinion. would be the effect of Speaker Hendersons attitude on the republican pdANS AS w ell, SOb hnoW that | am out of politics and I look to others for political forecasts, but 1 might say that sometimes great confagration p started by a very little match"
 The former speaker beng of the ex. treme high tariff brand of republicans is naturally dead set against tariff re- vision and says his party had better let ! tho tarif alone, He doubtless realizes [ that it is dangerous thing for the re- publican party to fool with. MT. Reed is | perhaps in a better position to appre- ciate and understand the motives behind the action of General Henderson than any other man In this country. When he resigned every effort was made to dis cover some ulterior motive instead of the one he assigned, namely, that he needed money and congress was not the place to make 1t.

U. s. POSITION JUST.
Protest Regarding Jews Received In Vienna With Mingled Feelings.

Vienna, September 19-rhe protest of the United States on behalf of the Jews of Roumania was received in official cir cles here with mingled feelings.
 It is admitted that the position of the United States is a just one. but 1t is ar gued that the conditions in the Balkans at the time of the signing of the Berlin treaty and now are two entirely different matters. It is considered probable that the first steps of the powers will be to in- struct their representatives at Bucherest to furnish information as to the present condition of the Roumanian Jews. The authorities here are also anxious to as- certain what meLnods the Roumanian government proposes to adopt to secure the enforcement of the industrial law the enactment of which has been responsible for increasing Jewish immigration from Roumania-
 In the meanwhile Austrian officials are sceptical of any good resulting from the intervention of the United States.
