WOODWARD WAS HANGER.
Murderer of Boys Paid the Extreme
Penalty.

Camden, N. j., Jan. Paul Wood
ward was hanged in the Camden Jail
to-day. The drop fell at 1905 and
Woodward was pronounced dead ten
minutes later. Woodward was appar-
emily the most unconcerned person In
the party at the hanging, and showed
remarkable nerve.
Paul Woodward's crime was the
murder on Oct. 1, last. of John Coffin,
aged II years, and Price Jennings, aged
IA years. The boys disappeared from
their homes on Oct. 1, and their bodies
were found in a woods near Haddon
Heights, six miles from here, on Oct.
4. Woodward had been seen in COM
pany with the lads on the day of their
disappearance and was arrested. An
analysis of the boys stomachs showed
that they died from arsenical poison
ing. The police officials learned that
Woodward had bought arsenic a few
days prior to the boys disappearance,
and upon being indicted by the grand
jury, was later placed on trial and con-
victed of murder in the first degree.
Counsel for the prosecution claimed
that Woodward had poisoned the boys
for the purpose of robbery. When they
left home the boys had $40 in their
possession, but when the bodies were
found, the pockets of the clothing did
not contain a penny.

OLD FOES GOT TOGETHER.
Their Alliance Controlled the Colo
RADIO Legislature.


Denver, Col, Jan. 7.-After more
than six hours voting, during which the
division of the vote of the Republican
members, who are in the majority,
made the election of speaker impos-
sible, the lower house of the Four
teenth General Assembly effected
compromise organization.
During the early voting the vote
stood II each for the Wolcott and anti
Wolcott candidates. and 81 for the
Democratic candidate. Late in the
afternoon a combination was formed
between the anti-Wolcott Republicans
and the Democrats, which resulted in
the election of j. B. Sanford of Doug
las, as speaker; John Vivian as chief
clerk; M. r. Plummer as sergeant at
arms, and A. r.. Lyons, assistant SER
geant-at-arms. All these are anti
WoIcott Republicans except Mr. Lyons,
who is a Democrat.
1t is understood that the agreement
gives the Republican speaker practi-
cally all the patronage of the House,
but prevents the unseating of the elev-
en- Denver representatives, who are
Democrats.
1t is not believed that United States
senator to succeed Senator Teller can
be chosen at this session.

DEATH IN A WRECK
SEVEN MEN KILLED ON THE PENN
SYLVANIA.
OTHERS DANGEROUSLY HURT.
PASSENGER TRAIN RAN INTO A
FREIGHT.

Wreck Was the Fault of Patrick
Freight-He Cannot be FOund-On
Taking "A siding, He Did Not Flag
the CnbOOse Clear of the Main
Line-PnssenEers in Smoking Car
SuHered-They Were Burned in
the Wrecknge.
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 7.-As a result
of a collision between a passenger train
and the rear end of a freight train on
the Monongahela division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad tonight at Coch-
rane station, just above Duquesne.
seven men are dead, one is dying, and
five others injured.
Dead:
C. e. Stroud, baggagemaster, Eliz-
abeth accommodation, Homewood.
c. NJ. Boehner, brakeman of accom-
mediation, Pittsburg.
John Stewart, passenger, residence
unknown.
Two unknown foreigns. killed out
right.
Two unknown foreigners. died on
way to hospital.
Injured:
T. d. Cook, conductor of accommo-
dalton, probably die before morning.
Sam Sullanowsky, shoulder blade
fractured.
Peter Kimosky, burned.
John Smith, seriously injured.
Mike Chonick, slightly injured.
Mike Gentill, slightly injured.
The passenger train in the wreck
was the West Elizabeth accommoGa-
ton, which left Pittsburg at 1920 y. m,
1t was on time and had a clear track,
according to the signals displayed. At
the siding at Cochrane it ran into the
rear car of an extra freight, which
had taken the switch, but failed to
clear the main line.
The officials of the road attribute
the disaster to the failure of Patrick
Quinn, the rear brakeman of the
freight, to see that his train had fully
| cleared. Up to IL p. m, Quinn has
| not been located.
When the passenger train came along
the caboose of the freight overlapped
the main track enough to catch the
tender of the passenger engine, which
was forced back upon the combination
baggage and smoking car with terrible
force. The thirteen passengers were
| damned against the rear end of the car
| into almost a solid mass. Three of
| the victims were apparently killed out
right, two of the other four were lit
orally roasted to death, and the two
who died on the way to the hospital
were so badly burned that recognition
was almost impossible.
Immediately after the impact, fire
| in the stove in the smoker was com
municated to the wreck, and the VIC
| TINS were tortured beyond description.
All were badly burned.
Conductor Cook was found uncon-
scious under the charred body of Bag
gagemaster Stroud. He is so badly
hurt that he can hardly live the night
through.
Strange to say not a truck, except
the tender, left the track, the passen-
gers in the coaches being thus pro-
tected from harm No one outside of
the smoker was injured, and the tracks
were cleared within a short while aft
er the accident.

BUSY WITH THE SOUTH.
Politicians at Washington Fixing
Up the Jobs.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Southern af-
fairs were much discussed at the
White House to-day. Gen. Clarkson
was at the White House offices all
morning. He is engaged in endeavoring
to straighten out the Southern politi-
cal situation for the administration,
and his presence at the White House
after his long conference with Post
master General Payne last night has
led to the conclusion that the admin
istration leaders are somewhat con-
cerned over the trouble at Indianola,
and fear they have been too hasty in
taking summary action as rebuke to
the citizens of that place for petition
ing the postmistress to resign. This
case and several others were under
consideration to-day.
senator Tillmanl announced his pur-
pose to oppose the confirmation of
Crum, the negro physician, who has
been appointed collector at Charles
ton, gives some concern because it is
found that number of Republican
senators do not particularly like the
idea of man being chosen for a bus
mess position of this kind when his
only claim is his color; and there are
that Senator Tillman may find SYM
pathy on the Republican side of the
chamber, as we'll as on the Democratic
side.
Alabama was given an inning to-day
when former Congressman Aldrich and
Charles F. Scott. two of the three par
ty referees selected to make recon-
mendations in that state, former Sena-
tor Hundley and William F. Tobbitts,
collector for the port of Mobile, were
received by the President, who listen
ed to several recommendations in Ala
bama matters. Collector Thompson, the
third of the referees, was unable to be
present, on account of illness. He is
at the Hotel Hamilton in this city.
The principal purpose of this Alabama
visit, so far as can be discovered, was
for the individuals named to get closer
to the. administration by holding out
promises of a solid delegation to the
presidential convention. The party sit
uation in Alabama was gone over at
some length without definite results.

Curzon and the Duke and Duchess of
ers of the ruling chiefs in the Durbar
arena.
The variety of costume and para
phernalia afforded one of the most
striking pictures of the Durbar festiv-
tiles. Contingents from all parts of
Greater India participated, mostly re-
tanning the distinctive features of their
costumes. The flags and other emb-
lens of the state of Clutch were car
ried on camels and elephants, accom-
panied by armed men on stills, while
Arab irregulars danced past the vic
eroy to the music of their own instru-
ments. The famous gold and silver
guns of the state of Baroda attracted
much attention. The ancient Mahar-
alta flags, descended from the mogul
emperors, were borne past on an ele-
plant carriage The martial ajputs
were clad in martial armor.
State bards, camel kettledrums,
richly caparisoned elephants and
horses and agile swordsmep, many
shouting battle cries, followed one an

cupied the place of honor. The book
was guarded by the chief priest. The
venerable chief Nabha, escorted by
men mounted on richly caparisonel
horses and accompanied by hounds and

display, which for wealth of coloring

ARBITRATION WANTED.
A Favorable Report on a Bill Pro-
Viding for 1t.

Washington, Jan. THE Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-day
authorized Senator Lodge to report ia
vorably the general international arbi-
tration recommended by the Pan
American conference held at the City
of Mexico last winter. The treaty is
on the lines of The Hague treaty, but
applies only to the republics of the
western hemisphere. 1t provides a
tribunal for settling disputes as to
boundary lines and claims 0nd also
over other questions, concerning which
nations might differ. The opinion is
quite general that favorable action
upon the agreement at this time by the
United States would have good effect
upon the settlement of the differences
between Venezuela and the European
creditors of that nation.
An interesting fact in connection
with the preparation of the treaty is
that the Venezuelan representative in
the conference refused upon the in
struction of his government to partic-
pate in the formulation of the docu-
ment.

CONSIDERING TREATY.
Cuban Senate Committee Is Giving
Hearings.

Havana, Jam, THE Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, to which
the reciprocity treaty has been referred,
has begun holding conferences with
representatives of different economic
societies. interested in the question of
reciprocity.
At conference held to-day Senior
Rivero, representing the tobacco in
terests, said that Article of the
treaty was not clear, and did not set
forth whether the limit of preferential
duty for Cuba was or 20 per cent. He
said that under the proposed treaty
concessions might be given to other
nations up to 10 per cent. of the Ding
ley tariff, leaving 1 per cent. in favor
of Cuba. This matter should be clear
ed up, and the clause in question be
made clearly to read that Cuba should
have preferential duty Of 20 per cent.
against all nations.
Senior Rivero said also that he
thought larger concessions should be
given to Cuban tobacco interests.
