MOST OUT OF PRISON.
The Anarchist 10 start on q Speechmakins
Tour. Ills Friends Say.

John Most. the Anarchist. after serving
a little less than ten months Of his years
sentence, getting the rest on for good be-
havior, was released from the penitentisry
on Blackwell's Island, at o o'clock yesterday
morning. Without shaking hands or say
ing good-by to any one, Most took the next
boat and left the Island.
Most arrived on the Island on June 20,
1902, after the higher courts had affirmed
the sentence passed upon him by the JUS
tices OF Special Sessions, who decided that
an article entitled Murder VS.. Murder"
published in his paper, Freihsh, endangered
the public peace because IL was Indictment
to murder rulers. They expressed their
great regret in their opinion that there
was no special law to At the case Of an
Anarchist like Herr Most and said that
they hoped that the laws would some day
be such, that IL could be said truthfully
that no Anarchist can breathe the free air
OF America
The article which led to Most's conviction
was printed on the day President Mckinley
was assassinated. He said that he did not
write 1t and that il was only reprint, but
the Judges couldn't see that that made
any difference.
According TO some Of Most's friends at
90 Gold street Most. after leaving prison,
stopped only long enough in the state Of
New York TO cross Manhattan Island ana
then took ferryboat for New Jersey.
According to those who gave this informa,,
ton he went to Union Hill. where he will
remain until the 14th, when, they said. he
will start on a speechmaking tour.
All the time that Most was in prison his
wife conducted his paper.

The attorneys who are Interested in the
Pencils or the Pennell estate said TO day
that they knew nothing about Pencils
alleged del alcation. They did not deny
that the story was true. They simply said
that Pencils brother, who had been named

determined to carry his inquiry so far and
so persistently that he would insist on

Throat--Ffshing Party Arrested.

Frank Labisci. a barber OF &c Melrose
street, Brooklyn. was shot in the throat
and instantly killed yesterday afternoon
on the meadows near Jamaica Bay, and
south OF Woodhaven, l.. l., and his cousin,
who bears the same name and lives at the
same address. is locked up at Richmond
Hill, with three other men from that neigh
borhood, charged with murder.
The FIVE, who are all BARRIERS, went fishing
on Jamaica Bay early in the afternoon.
They carried shotguns as well as fishing
tackle, and when the fish didn't bite they
went ashore and shot al birds and shells
tipped into the air. Some time in the
afternoon Labisc received his death wound.
Some men working at a pumping station
a mile or more distant wandered over tow
ard the BARRIERS and were told their COM
panion had accidentally killed himself
This seems impossible from the nature Of
the wound. A large hole is torn in the
throat transversely.

CINCINNATI, April e.-Another sweeping
victory was won by the Republican Or
eanization, dominated by George b. Cox.
to-day, the entire ticket being elected by
phralities ranging from $4,000 to 1000.
This result was due to the apparent weak
ness Of NJ Z. Ingalls,, president Of the Big
-Four, the fusion candidate.
The campaign and election were the
most exciting known here In years. fester-
day the Republicans scarcely expected
Fleischmann TO get more than 5000 plurality.
The result came as q big surprise to all.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, April e-Mayor Tom
l.. johnson was reelected to-day by fully
5000 plurality. On account OF the badly
scratched ballots the count is proceeding
slowly. The indications at one time to-
night were that Johnson's plurality would
exceed 5000. The Democratic gains over
the vote Of last fall were surprisingly strong.
Mayor johnson made the issue three-cent
treet car fares in spit Of the attempts OF
the Republicans to fix it on the increase
of taxes. The wards filed with working
men seemed to have only cheaper car fare

MORE TRACK.SUNK IN SALT LAKE
Twelve Lives Said 10 He Lost Already
Hartman May Abandon Cut-On.

SALT LAKE, Utah, April o.-Losses Of life
and daily accidents at the Lucin cutoff
which Is being built across Great Salt Lake
by the Southern Pacific railroad are being
concealed and the engineers in charge OF
the work are so discouraged that they have
almost reached the point Of abandoning the
CUTOFF according to news received direct
from the scene to-day,
Twelve men have been killed and probably
fifty cars have plunged into the lake. so an
engineer Of the Hartman system declared
to-day. II is stated that no one IL allowed
TO visit the cutoff. and az the men killed are
poor Greeks, no news Of the deaths reaches
the outside world. Only yesterday another
big collapse Of the track occurred.
The engineers believe that the $4,000
600 cutoff on the north side Of the lake
will have to be dropped and that the South
ern Pacific will he compelled to come to
Salt Lake City and cross the lake at the
south end.
The chief engineer admits that the large
amount Of earth and rock dumped into the
lake east Of the promontory and nearer
the Ogden shore has had a perceptible
effect in driving the quicksands to the
surface where they appear above the track,
but in his opinion the problem lies on the
promontory side Of the body of water sought
to be spanned. Four sixty foot piles spliced
together have been driven into the lake
bottom and yet no sign OF bedrock was
found.
1t is impossible to ascertain the real
condition Of affairs at the cut OF. The only
train to the scene Of accidents Is run by
the Southern Pacific and only employees
are permitted to ride on it, All are under
pledges Of secrecy and few details can be
obtained as 10 the daily accidents which
occur. In the big sink which occurred
yesterday another section OF $50 yards Of
track dropped. The work Of dumping
rock into the bottomless pit continues.

REV. HEBER NEWTON RESIGNS.
Leaves stanford Memorial Church Because
OF Criticism.

Leaves STANFORD memorial Cnurch Because
Of Criticism.
SAN Francisco, April ct was given
out at Stanford University that the Rev.
Heber Newton. the Episcopal clergyman
who was formerly pastor Of All Souls
Church. New York. has resigned az pastor
Of the Memorial Church. The resignation
was a great surprise to the students, and
It il not known whether 1t was voluntary
OF not
The probable reason for his retirement il
the severe criticism which he has encoun-
tered In his efforts to harmonic the Diff
ferences in creeds. He came to Stanford
University With a large idea Of harmoniza-
ton. but his efforts have brought about
more dscord than harmony. He is q be-
lineations Of sectarianism. and evidently
thought he could bring about more unity
among the churchmen OF California.
He had not been installed long AZ pastor
before he issued call for . congress Of
ministers and churchmen, the purpose Of
which was to discover and establish a com
mon denominator Of religion The suR-
gestion met with q hostile response. Min
isters Of many creeds thought the relations
of denominations had better remain undis-
turbed, and they were not slow In voicing
their opinions.
But IL was In his own church that Mr.
Newton found the most dissatisfaction
and adverse criticism. His friends say
the sentiments expressed by many Episco-
pal clergymen in relation TO his plan hurt
him very much.
The Rev. Dr. Richard Heber Newton,
came to New York In 1850 as rector Of the
Anthem Memorial Church, which afterward
became All Souls Church and after twenty
years OF DIR. Newton's ministry was merged
with the Church Of the Holy Spirit on Madi-
son avenue and Sixty-sixth street. the
latter then taking the title OF All Souls
Church. As early as 1884 DIR. Newton's
radical views had excited resentment
among his co-religionists and Bishop Potter
was urged to discipline him; but efforts
TO bring him TO trial for heresy failed and
he escaped with caution: In 1891 the
attack was renewed and Bishop Potter
appointed a committee OF inquiry TO see II
grounds existed for bringing him to trial.
But despite the fact that DR.. Newton him.
self petitioned the Bishop for a trial the
matter was dropped. DR., Newton may be
said 10 have established the bounds Of ex-
treme latitude in the American Episcopal
Church. II has been said Of him that he has
uttered more unorthodox sentiments with
out oficial impeachment than any other
preacher OF his denomination. He con-
tinued rector OF All Souls until last year.
when he was succeeded by the Rev. DIR.

A VERMONT PROBLEM.

A farmer in New Haven evidently

said, Jacob A. Riis is the most useful
man in New York that he might
point way out of dilemma in
which Vermont farmers have been
for a long time. The New Haven
man has written Mr.. Kills the follow
ing letter:
As read in the papers of the fam
inc in Sweden and Finland | wish
that many of tho,e people, might in
some way find their way into this part
of New England, where there is no
lack of food, but where there is a
great lack of reliable dairy farm help.
l have small dairy farm of less than
100 acres. and yet am sure that the
loss for lack of help would have been
enough to support small family in
comfort. Is there no way by which !
can get single man for farm work ?
| can use man who has no knowledge
of our language, provided he be OF
good character and anxious to learn
Thousands of those people can find
permanent homes in New England,
with good chance for a home OF
their own in the future AS to char

to manage large dairy farm-men
who are able and willing to do all
kinds of rough work summer and
winter, kind to horses and cattle; free
from tobacco and profanity, and am,
bilious to save for home. My neeC
is very great, as have been obliged
to work about one hundred hours
every week for the year now past
Gan you help me in any way?"

the same plight would go the Presi-
