WANTS MURDERER PUNISHED

American Consul Coming Home From
Mexico 70 Ask Government Action.
SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 27.-Luis Kaiser,
United States Consul at Mazatlan, Mex,
Is here on his way to Washington to lay
before the State Department all the facts
in regard to the murder OF two Americans
at Aguas Calientes and to plead for
the punishment OF the murderers. H.
Torres, nephew OF Gov. Torres Of Lower
California. Is the chief oulprit, according
to the Consul.
It seems that Clarence Way. superin-
tendent Of an American ranch near Aguas
Calientes, neglected ono day to return the
salutation Of Torres on the street. Torres
fancied the slight was intentional land
secured a warrant for Wrays arrest on a
trumped up charge. This warrant he
turned over to two policemen, giving them
arms to enforce it.
Wray agreed to submit to arrest He
asked to be allowed to get his hat and coat
men refused to permit this Then Wray
broke from their grasp to enter the house.
They shot him down, and when his colored
cook Edward Latimer rushed out they shot
him also. Both Wray and Latimer were I'M
armed.
The policemen who did the shooting
were condemned to death. but Torres. who
instigated the crime, escaped with nomi-
nal "arrest" for. ten months, which means
Consul Kaiser thinks Torres should suffer
the death penalty, as 1t was due directly
to his arming the police tina the crime
was committed.

ODELL GETS A REPLY.
senaca County Republican Info rms Him
Why He Cannot Support Higgins.


WATERLOO. N. Y, Oct. 81 W. s. Kuns
formerly an active worker in the Republi-
can party In Seneca county, recently re-
ceived personal letter from Governor
Chairman Odell, asking him as to a report
that he intends to support the Democratic
state ticket and begging for a reply, He
got 1t as follows:
WATERLOO. n. Y. Oct. 2e. 1904.
Hon. b. y. Odeii. Dr., Fiffh Arenue Hotel,
Nep York cIu'
DEAR sIh: Replying to your kind favor
OF the 10th inst. i thank you for the honor
OF asking me for an expression OF my polit-
chi views In this campaign. l have recently
been acting with the Democratic party. and
see no reason for returning to the Republic
can party at the present time. when that
party. forgetting Its former grand record.
Is given over to fraud, graft and Odellism,
as represented by the canal thievery, the
perjured Populist petitions. and the swelling
OF the bills for our State charities, while
the unfortunate wards Of the people and
their attendants are put upon half rations.
The good old Repu blican party always kept the
institutions referred to out OF the political
rings. until the present administration. Now,
while Mr.. Higgins may be a coed man, as you
say. he is too we'll known to be under the
same bad influences which have brought
the party into the mire of corruption and
disgrace to get my vote.
In addition to these reasons. decent Re-
publicans in Seneca county are now driven
from their former grand old party by the
necessity OF rebuking Morganism. and all
tho trickery and corruption that that implies.
Il am still the same kind OF Republl ca
| always was as represented by Lincoln.
Garfield and Harrison. but the party has
departed too far from their standards for
me even to recognize 1t. much less to follow
1t In it's present course. 1 am. respectfully
yours. W. 8. HUNS.

COWHERD HAS RAINROWS.
He 10 About 10 Issue Statement Claimins
Congress for tho Dem ocrsts.

WARRINGTON. Oct. 2-Chairman Cow
herd Of the Democratic Congress oom-
mittee will soon issue statement en-
bodying prediction Of the outcome. as
he views it, in the coming Congress cleo
tions. Mr.. Cowherd, 1t Is understood, will
claim that the Democrats are certain to
carry fifty Of the 30 called doubtful dis
tricts. giving the party a clear working
majority in the House OF Representatives
In the Fifty-ninth Congress. No details
will be given. The most humorous feature
Of the promised statement Is that the loca-
ton Of the doubtful districts will be kept
secret until after the election.
The boast is made at Democratic head
quarters that three Republicans who are
prominent In the present House are marked
for the Democratic axe. They are Joseph
W. Babcook of Wisconsin. chairman Of
the Republican Congress committee; Jesse
Overstreet Of Indiana. secretary OF the
organization, and James A. Hemenway,
also OF Indiana, chairman Of the House
Committee on Appropra ions. II recent
reports received here are to be credited
Messrs. Iabcock, Overstreet and Henen-
way are certain Of reelection.
For all practical purposes the head
quarters Of the Democratic Congress COM
mittee have been closed up. Chairman
Cowherd's forthcoming statement will
be the last gasp.

Secretary Tart. Lieut.-Goy. Higgins and
Ex.GOv. Black Speak.

SYRACUSE, Oct. 27.-The largest Repub-
lican mass meeting Of the Presidential CAM
Npaign was held at the Alhambra tonight,
when the big building was jammed to the
doors with an enthusiastic crowd OF men
and women. The speakers, Secretary OF
War Taft, former Governor Frank s. Black
and Lieut. Gov. Frank l.. Higgins, were
warmly greeted. Preceding the meeting
there was parade OF thousands of people.
including the Fremont voters and the
First Voters clubs. II is estimated that
there were 5000 people crowded into the
Alhambra, and hundreds who couldn't
get In were to have heard the speakers at
an overflow meeting. but the speakers were
not inclined to deliver their addresses
more than once.
Mr.. Higgins spoke at length on the State
fair, to which he promised his support,
and after complimenting Syracuse Univer-
sity upon it's athletic Victories promised
his support In upbuilding that institution.
He defended his administration.
Secretary Taft confined his remarks
principally to the Philippines, defending
the present Administration. Former Gov.

ODELLISM MUST BE DOWNED.
The Feeling Among Prominent Republican,
in Upstate Counties.


DUNDEE, N. Y, Oct. 27.-The publication
by THE Sun OF the facts regarding the
Populist petition in Yates county has done
more toward driving Republican votes
away from Higgins than anything that has
come thus far. The Republicans who put
their names to the petition are In most In
stances we'll known and were trusted, but
the revelation that they were engaged In
this kind Of politics 10 an eye opener for
the farmers. who were inclined to think that
much of the anti Odell talk was exaggera-
ton until they saw this evidence close at
hand.
Names could be quoted Of prominent
Republicans hereabouts who think II best to
stamp out the Odellism which is responsible,
for si,ch practices There is a sentiment Of
f from upstate. would naturally draw well
hare. But as one politician put 1t: How
are we going to show our disapprovel Of
Odell without voting against his candidate.
We would like to see Higgins in, but this Is
too high price for us to pay We have no
assurance that there will be any changei
and, anyway, Odell must be downed.
Il really is surprising to see the rebellious
sentiment that prevails among the old line
Renublicans. who hav, never been known
to balk at a candidate. The letters sent
ont by Senator Platt, almost imploring
Repubiicans to stand by the ticket, have not
the slightest effect, and the counties here
abouts will send In some surprising figures

CHALLENGES FOR COLUMBIA MEN
Some Of Them for 'O4 Gradustes-Moro
Than 400 ION the List"

Columbia is having the usual prediction
fuss over the student vote. The Demo tic
organization Of Il e Twenty first Assembly
district sent to the registered students yes
terdav notices that John f. j. Glare objected
TO their voting, on the ground that they are
non-residents and that the grounds Of his
beli'f were the directory Of studente OF
said university published in the Columbia
University Bulletins Of Information for
10000"
The vigilant Glare overlooked the fact
that the directory for 10000 contained
only the names OF students who were in
residence last year. In consequence any
number OF men who swere graduated from
Columbia in June this year were surprised
to receive notice that they were -coloniz-
ing" az Columbia students.
One student who had lived in New York
for six years and who voted as a Democrat
AT the last election went to see Leader Matt
Donohue when he got his notice and had
it fixed.
On the information Of Christopher Wyatt
and Paclan Beale, officers Of the Columbia
| University Democratic Club, more than
200 challenges OF the "colonizers' were
issued.
Signs were posted around the univer-
sity: Challenged voters, don't lose your
vote, Answer the summons"

TO TEST JEROME'S Law.
Court OF Appeals TO Pass on It's Constitu.
ti0nality In the Lewisohn Case.

ALBANY, Oct. 27.-The Court Of Appeals
Is to pass upon the constitutionality Of the
law enacted by the last Legislature through
the efforts OF District Attorney jerome of
New York providing that witnesses shall
not be excused from test flying in criminal
proceedings on the ground that their testi-
mony would tend to incriminate them.
The new law amends Section $40 Of the
Penal Code and was aimed to cover the
case OF Jesse Lewisohn, who claimed i'm
munity as a witness when called to testify
against Dick Garfield. Lewisohn was held
for contempt Of court for refusing to answer
questions before the Grand Jury in the
Garfield investigation. and his case on
appeal was argued before the Court OF
Appeals to-day. Lewisohn refused to tes-
THY as to the character OF Canfeld's house
at s East Forty-fourth trect on the ground
that his evidence might tend to incrminate
him. Alfred LAuterbaoh, his counsel. in
his argument to-day. held that the new law
was unconstitutional. Assistant, District
Attorney Howard Cans appeared for the
respondent.
