A Quick Trial For Rapists.

The grand jury of Burlington county on
Tuesday returned three bills of Indictment
against Aaron Timbers, Jonas Sims, and
William Austin, one for felonious assault
upon Mrs. Elsie T. Biddle, one for assault
with intent to kill and one for breaking
and entering the residence of Thomas
Stricken on the Rancocas road
For those three offences the maxium pc
nalty is forty-nine years
Indictments were also found against
Joseph and Israel Timbers, brothers Of
Aaron, and Horace Robinson, Of Burlington
as accessories after the fact and for obstruc-
tion Of the police officers in the discharge Of
their duty when they were searching Tor
the three principal offenders. The bill
closed with these words:
This grand jury hereby recommends
that the law of this state providing pun
ishment for the crime of assault upon
women be so altered as to provide for eapi-
tai punishment or for imprisonment for
any term of years, in the discretion Of the
trial jury, the present punishment for the
said offense appearing to be inadequate.
In his charge Judge Gaslzil1 called at
tention to the fact overlooked by many,
that the old English hue and cry was
raised and made applicable in the Biddle
case.
AS soon as the requisition for the defend
ants shall have been honored by the goYer-
nor Of Pennsylvania the prisoners will be
brought here, and every precaution will be
taken by the authorities to prevent any in
reference with the orderly administration
Of justice.

SHOT 70 KILL.
Alex Hendy Shoots VIM. Lovett both Colored
on woodbury. Streets.

Just before / O'Clock this morning three
pistol shots aroused the neighborhood at
Broad and High streets, and those first on
the ground found VIM Lovett, colored,
with three bullet holes in his head, and
Alex Hendy standing near with smoking
pistol in his hand. Officer Geitz took Henly
to jail, and Lovett who was yet alive was
hurried to Cooper Hospital i representa-
tive Of the DEMOCRAT held brief conver-
sation with Hendy through his cell door at
the jail this morning. He says he was
walking up the street with two ladies'
when Lovett approached and after cursing
him and the ladies' struck him in the
jaw, knocking him down into the gutter.
He drew his pistol and fired three times.
Lovett has three bullet holes in his head,
but at the hour Of going to press, is yet
alive.
LoYett is 80 Year, of age and is native
of Virginia. Hendy, we believe, is a native
Of jersey and is a about 20 years old. AT
the hour Of going to press, the Cooper hos
pital physician IS Of opinion that LoYett
will recover.

The UnsneakabIe Crime.

The three negro ravishes of Mrs. Biddie
near Burlington had hardly been landed be-
hind prison bars, than similar cases were
reported from Georgetown, Del, near Mt.
Holly, Pa and next day the county of
Salem was aroused by a like outrage COM
mitted on girl Of nine years This victim
is Elizabeth Banknecht, and her assailant
is Theodore johnson, col. aged 20, employed
Chas. Zelly, a farmer residing six miles
from Salem The child's mother was also
in the employ Of zelly and the child had
gone to the barn to gather eggs, when the
crime was committed. The child fell faint
ing in her mothers arms when she reached
the house, The R. F. D. carrier came
along and by him the mother sent word to
the Salem Prosecutor, who at once dispatch
ed an officer and the negro was arrested in
the corn field. In the Salem Jail he first
denied and then admitted his guilt.
Thanks to prompt official action the per
petrators Of the crimes are behind prison
bars, and the full penalty Of the statutes
will be undoubtedly meted out.

THE REAL PURPOSE
HOSTILITY TO PROTECTION THE At
TITUDE OF DEMOCRACY.

This Is Unmistnlxably Indicated In
ker's Remarks on Revision Fail to
Reassure.
No one can read Judge Parker's re-
marks concerning the tariff without
reaching the conclusion that he be-
lieves it necessary to attempt to reas-
sure the public mind as to the proba-
BILE consequences Of a revision made
by the Democrats. AS he put the mat
ter, the Democracy stands for q ''rea-
sonable reduction" of tariff duties, and
he was careful to state that this reduc
ton should take effect after "a reason
able PERIOD" during which the indus
tries of the country might have an OPP
portunity to make preparation for the
changes. Furthermore he declared
that the Democratic party could not
hope to secure control of the senate,
and therefore any tariff reduction that
could be made would be only such as
the senate would consent to.
Obviously this was intended to be
reassuring, but intelligent citizens will
remember that 1t is to the party plat
form rather than to the candidates
remarks they must go to discover, the
real attitude of the Democracy toward
the protective tariff. And in that plat
form there is no declaration for ''rea-
sonable reduction Of duties" There
were in the platform prepared by the
subcommittee on resolutions some
qualifying phrases and a promise to
bear in mind existing business condi-
tons, but they were stricken out by
the full committee, and the plank that
was finally adopted by the convention
declared the protective tariff to be an
instrument through which the masses
of the people were robbed for the en-
richment of the few.
This statement is among those which
Judge Parker characterized as "ad
mirable," and it expresses the real pur-
pose of the Democracy concerning the
tariff. There is nothing reasonable"
in those purposes. The Democracy is
now, as it always has been, bitterly
hostile to the protective system and
intends to destroy 1T whenever the OPP
portunity to do so is afforded. Its
present demand for revision is not sim
cere. What is intended is destruction.
1t would be as foolish to believe the
Democrats will be reasonable" In re-
visipg the tariff duties as to think that
Bryan would accept the gold standard
as "irrevocably established"
At bottom the Democracy is the par
| ty of free trade, and had it the pow
er it would put the Golden idea into
practice In this country, even in the
| face of the utter failure of that sys-
tenn in Great Britain. Perhaps Judge
Parker does not believe in free trade,
but bis party certainly does, and were
he elected he would be powerless to
restrain 1t from working its will in
destroying the protective tariff. There
fore there is very little likelihood that
the voters will be deceived by his mod
| crate, pronouncement into supporting
the candidates of party bent upon
the ruin of system that has made
this country the most prosperous on
the globe.-Providence News.

Hungry For once.

The Democratic leaders have no is
sues, therefore they propose to make
this campaign of personal abuse
against President Roosevelt. They
practically admit that. the Republican
policy is all right. Parker made that
pretty clear In his speech of accept
ance. The only mistake the people
make, according to the Democratic Of
fee seekers, is that the Offices are CIV
en- to the wrong fellowsS This makes
hard times for Democratic politicians.
They really have to work for their liv-
ing; hence the virulence Of the attack
upon the president.-Jersey City Jour-

that they will turn the whole bunch

To read the Democratic stories about
the big stick and the danger of assault
and battery on any or all of the ma
tons of the earth one might imagine
that Theodore Roosevelt is stranger
instead of the most thoroughly known
American in the world. The American
people are intelligent, and the Demo-
cratic attempt to besmirch the presi-
dent is absolutely ridiculous. 1t will

McDevitt, a gambler, who came here

Last night his house was raided by
the police and today he declares he

by meeting her once or more every

THE LARGEST IN UNITED
STATES.
Many improvements to Be Made by
the Government in the Near
Future.
Future.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July lot is
the unanimous opinion of naval officers
who are acquainted with conditions on
the Pacific coast, that the Puget
Sound navy yard is destined to be-
come one of the greatest yards in the
United States, and to take precedent
over all others on the western coast.
Not only is the yard to be developed
along present lines, but the plans for
the future contemplate further equip
ment to facilitate the construction Of
warships Of the most modern design
But before any such work as this can
be undertaken, vast sums of money
will have to be expended on the yard
More land must be purchased, the
plants must be enlarged, new equip
ment must be provided, such as build
ing slips and huge overhead cranes
for handling heavy materials, and along
with it all, a new dry dock must be
provided.
Had the owners OF property adjOin-
ing the present yard been ready to
make terms with the government
year ago there is little doubt but what
the area of the yard would have been
materially increased before now, for the
navy department was ready to recon-
mend an appropriation for the pur-
chase of land, if a satisfactory offer
was received. Future DEVELOPMENT
yet the pressure is not sufficiently
great to Justify the department in ac-
curing land by condemnation proceed
lngs. but that time is coming. The navy
department finds it necessary to con-
Struct not only war ships but Golfers
and auxiliary vessels. But it has no
place to build them. Those yards that
are equipped cannot now handle this
work. If Puget Sound had the equip
ment, it would today be building one
of the two great Golfers authorized at
the present session of congress. AS it
is this work must go elsewhere.
The Puget Sound yard, by reason of
its geographical position and deep
water harbor, is destined to take pre-
cedence over the yard at Mare Island.
1t can readily accommodate the largest
ships, provided it has facilities for
making extensive repairs; and it can
IN time construct the largest ships and
equip them when its plant is enlarged
and completed. Naval officers declare
that for a yard established so short a
time ago, Puget Sound is today we'll
advanced, and that if progress con-
tlnues, it will be but a matter of a few
years before this yard ranks with that
of New York. At that time the Puget
Sound yard will commence the actual
construction of vessels, and it's force
of workmen will be doubled, if not
trebled it will be sure of steady en-
ployment for it's men; it will go for
ward with a jump and become the
foremost naval station on the entire
Pacific coast

SOCIETY GETS A SEVERE JOL'
Baptist Pastor Is Let Out for Immora
Conduct.

WINNIPEG, Man, July 15.-One of
the most sensational incidents in con-
nection with religious life of this city
happened yesterday when the whole
choir of Logan Avenue Baptist church
refused to take seats on the choir
benches because of the presence there
lation with whom the minister of the
church, Rev. c.. w. Vincent, had been
relieved OF the charge of the congre-
cation by the management committee.
Events leading to this sensational eli
max have been developing for months.
The pastor is said to have paid undue
attention to the young lady member of
the choir, and all during last winter
was her escort from numerous meet
ings held under church auspices The
committee of management made inves-
LEGATIONS, and after several sessions de-
cided to relieve Mr.. Vincent of his pas
oral duties. This decision was arrived
at on Friday night, but for two Sun
days previous the pulpit was not oc-
Icupied by the pastor, others being
called in to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Vincent was given a leave of
absence for a year, which is tanta-
mount to dismissal, and left Saturday
for Wolfville, n. S., from which place
he is said to have come to Winnipeg
several years ago. The event takes on
added interest from the fact that the
clergyman in question was one of the
most vigorous in the campaign waged
by the ministerial association last VIM
ter against designation houses and
houses of illfame and which finally re-
suited in abolishing the red-light col
ony. The Investigations of the COM
of the minister with Miss Johnson
covered the period in which Mr.. Vim
cent was making a strong effort toward
the abolition of the Thomas street
houses.
There is another phase in recent
events of immoral nature which have
stirred the society of Winnipeg. Last
week the son of one Of the most prOmi-
nent clergymen of the city created a
sensation in the swell district by adj
ministering severe trouncing to So
ciety man, whom he found in company
with his wife in the latter's bedcham-
Der in the early evening.
Another occurrence touching on NOR
al looseness took place Friday evening,
when the police raided private rooms
on Market street and found two IT.
year-old girls in company with two
young men. One of the girls was the
daughter of a prominent clergyman of
the city.

To War On CONSUMPTION,

BALTIMORE, Md. July 15.-The
faculty of Johns Hopkins University
hospital has completed plans for a
systematic and scientific fight against
tuberculosis. 1t will be aided material
ly in carrying out its purpose by gift
of $4,000 from Henry Phipps, of Pitts
burg. OF this amount $4,000 will be
used in building a dispensary. The
other $4,000 will be used as a main
tenance fund. The buildings will in
clude dispensary and apartments for
scientific work. Guinea pigs, which
are very susceptible to tuberculosis,
will be kept for incubation.
