PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March IA
Murder for money, murder for hate,
murder for Illicit love, murder for So
cial position, murder for mere revenge,
perhaps thirty-fo murders in all. are
revelations promised by the investiga-
tions now being made into the work
of ''Dr." George Hossey, the gray-
haired negro voodoo man. who was
yesterday held without bail for COM
plicity to the reported murder of Will
liam G. Panzee. That Hossey has sold
very large quantities of common ar
senic. the sort known to the trade as
rats bane, is an established fact. That
he solicited and actually entered into
a contract to murder a woman for s1OO
is true beyond all question; that he
made no less than thirty-four similar
contracts is believed by the officers of
a prominent insurance company who
have called in force of private de-
tectives to assist the city police in their
investigations.
Well known physicians in all sections
Of the city have reported cases to the
district attorney that will probably
lead to the opening of many graves
and as many inquests. In each of
these cases, the patient first appeared
with q minor complaint which grew
progressively worse and which, just
before death. manifested what are now
recalled as the VISUAL symptoms of ar

INSISTENT CRATER
PACIFIED BY A DIME
Raised Such a Runpus That Mayor
Smith Had to Go to Him.

Two employees bar the way to Mayor
Smiths private office, but it took two,
janitor and a policeman, yesterday to
remove one insistent CRATER, who de-
manded that he be placed in communi-
cation with his honor.
He was old, froWZy and badly under
the influence of liquor, and as he was
listed among the regulars he was i'm
mediately denied admittance. That any
one should dare trample on his rights
angered him and he made the corridors
ring with his yells of defiance. Twice
he was ordered away, but each time
came back, when Mayor Smith ap-
peared on the scene and quieted him
with a present of a dime.
AT this juncture an officer and a jan
itor appeared and he was quicklE-hur-
ried away.
Since the warm weather began the
corridors Of the city hall have began to
fill with this class and the officials are
bothered to death with their demands.

or's Office daily and has become such a
nuisance that 1t is not at all unlikely

senical poisoning. In each Of these
reported cases there is a story of big
insurance, disturbed domestic relations
or an affair Of next of kin.
A clean sweep was made today of all
the physicians in the northwest sec
ton of the city who have signed death
certificates within the past two years
that specify heart LESSONS as the cause
of death and seven of these practition-
ers We're closeted with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Shoyer for several hours
during which time they went over
their office record in the mortality
| cases and frankly stated their suspi-
cions. In each of these cases a thor
ough investigation was ordered and the
local managers of all life insurance
companies were asked for information
concerning the policies paid upon
these risks.
1t is not believed, however. that DR."
Hossey was knowingly a party to any
extensive plan to murder people for in
surance money. This theory is based
upon his moderate means. Being un-
commonly shrewd, Hossey would have
demanded a large share of any pro-
ceeds derived from any policies issued
ty seemed to be the clearing up of dis
turbed domestic relations by deliberate
murder with the insurance feature as
a secondary incident of his work. His
price. according to the memorandum
! found in his shop, was invariably 800.
Some of his patrons are referred to
only by numbers and others by hero
glyphics that nobody but himself will
ever be able to solve; but there can
be no mistake about the entry "$100'
that appears after each of thirty four
entries made on the same record with
the $51 entry which admittedly applieS
to Mrs. Catherine Dansee, and the $40
entry, which Identifies the case of De-
tective Gavin, who contracted to have
his wife murdered by Hossey for $1O0.
The records of the bureau Of health
show that Hossey issued death certif-
icates over his own signature as
George HOssey, NJ. D." All the deaths
so certified are to be investigated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March II
Senate leaders are worried over the
fact that Senator Clapp will be unable
to be in Washington to vote Tuesday
on the isthmian canal treaty. The
fight for ratification is so close that the
absence of a single vote may be fatal
1t Is not easy to secure two thirds on
q treaty so stubbornly contested. Even
with all the pairs that can be arranged
the vote is imperatively needed.
Senator Nelson has wired that he
will be here Old Senator Hawley, of
Connecticut, who is barely able to be
out of bed and who has not been in
Washington all winter, has been
brought for this vote Senator Bev-
eridge, who collapsed after his state
hood fight, has been invalided at a pri-
vate house and is being nursed so he
will be able to be present.
The death of Senator Clapp's daugh-

sequences are distressing to others

Democratic Amendments.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA
Mr.. Spooner, of Wisconsin, spoke on
the Panama canar treaty in the exec
utive session Of the senate. His argu-
ment was confined mostly to legal
points. Senator Bacon offered the fol-
lowing amendment, being a substitute
for article %, to which the Democratic
senators take exception:
The government of the United
States shall have and exercise the ex-
elusive right to provide and enforce
such means and measures as it may
deem advisable and necessary for the
regulation and management of the
canal and for the safety and protection
thereof, and Of the ships that make use
OF the said canal and the railways and
other works within said zone, including
al persons and cargoes and freights
and other property connected with the
construction, maintenance and opera
tion Of said canal, and the use thereof;
and for the accomplishment of these
ends and for the enforcement and
maintenance of peace and order within
said zone and for the protection Of
said property and of the lives and per-
sons of those employed upon the canal
railway and other works, or engaged
In the use thereof, the United States
shall employ such force as may by it
be deemed necessary and to this end
shall have the right at all times and in
Its discretion, to use it's police and it's
land and naval forces for these pur-
poses"
Senator Morgan also submitted
amendments in addition TO those which
he had previously presented.

Assessment and taxation of grain IN
elevators, as proposed by the tax cIde,
Is reproposed in a bill introduced yes
terday by Representative Benson.
The Benson bill provides for assess
ment of all grain in elevators May l.
The grain is to be assessed in the name
OF the elevator company, and the bill
makes it the duty of elevator operators
to list the contents of their elevators.
Taxes, Lien on Grain.
If the grain listed is not owned by
the holder, the taxes paid become lien
against the property.
This particular feature of the de-
feated tax code created some of the
most bitter opposition that much
fought measure had to NEE. That the
Benson Dill has to 9se formidable
breakers is a foregone conclusion, as
neither farmers nor grain dealers can
see merit in it.
