Arrested in Brooklyn, N. Y. for
Larceny.
lie Claimed His Downfall Dated
Back to His Career in
Paducah.
HE STOLE TRADING STAMPS

Word comes from Brooklyn, N. Y,
that Hugh Mulhollnad, once postmas-
ter of Paducah and prominent man
here, was yesterday convicted of grand
larceny in the second degree and will
be sentenced Monday. He was charged
with receiving a quantity Of trading
stamps stolen from his employers by
companions and selling them for $50,
half of which he kept.
1t seems from press dispatches that
Mulholland has been drinking heavily
lately. He told rather gsuzy story to
the court about his career in Padu-
cab, and it failed to win much SYM
pathy for him.
The eventful career of this man is
probably familiar 10 most of the peo-
pie of Paducah. He was convicted of
pilferiDg registered letters while post
master here, but escaped the peniten-
tiary. He afterwards drifted about
the country and became an evangelist,
in which work he was for several
years apparently quite successful.
Later on he became a promoter,
and had something to do with the
deal transferring the Grand Rivers
property to new hands. He came to
Paducah two years ago looking quite
prosperous and appeared to have
good position with Boston concern.
1t is said that he used while here
then, some of his old tactics, getting
money from friends on worthless pa
per. lie was also arrested here on in
formation filed by his partner from
the east, alleging that Mulholland
had stolen some papers from grip,
but the case was dismissed after Null
holland had been under arrest a few
days. He left the city and has not
been back since.
A few months ago newspaper clip
pings were sent here from near Los
Angeles, CAL, stating that one Hugh
Mulholland had committed suicide
there by drowning, and it was thought
possible it was the Mulholland for
merly Of Paducah, but it developes
now that it wasn't.
Mulhelland, when arraigned in the
Kings county court, said he was post
master of Paducah. KY, 10 years
ago. and was arrested on the charge
Of robbing the mails, but that as he
was about to be convicted q mail car
rier confessed to the theft and the
postmaster was then acquitted. Null
holland says the mail carrier after
wards committed suicide. Mulholland
says he went to Boston aud became &
street evangelist. He then entered
business ana cleared $40, 600. and felt
SO elated over the success that he went
into saloon to drink some sherry
wine. To the judge he said, From
the day 1 drank the accursed stuff
l date my downfall" After speaking
at length Mulholland stopped and
Judge Crane reserved his decision.

SEES OUTRAGE IN
SINKING OF SHIP
Britain's Premier Declares Rus
slams Will Not Again Sink
Neutral Vessel.
England & Distinctly Dissatisfied
With Russia 8 Attitude as to
Contraband Of War.

London, Aug. lin the house OF
commons today Premier Balfour.
speaking on the same lines as Lord
Lansdowne in the house Of lords,
said he was perfectly confident that
no neutral ship wou 4 again be sunk
the statement that such d sinking was
an international outrage and said the
government had expressed to Russia
in the clearest way possible that view.
Great Britain is distinctly dis
satisfied with Russia's attitude in the
Commander, sunk by the Vladivostok
squadron, and continues to press the
Russian government to make substan-
tial notifications Of the list of arti-
cles regarded as contraband. Count
Benckendorff, Russian ambassador to
Great Britain, conferred for an hour
at the foreign office yesterday with
ter bringing up the question of the
changes which should be made in the
Russian regulations in order to make
them acceptable to; the commercial
nations, besides pointing out the mad
visibility of declaring food, fuel and
clothing contraband under all circum-
stances.
Lord Lansdowne dwelt on the
sweeping character of Russia's declar-
ations, some of. the provisions of
which, after specifying various goods
as contraband, closed with the word
let cetera," which Lord Lansd oWne
pointed out, might include anything
and everything the Russian authori-
ties desire. AS this is a serious re-
striction on neutral shipping, Lord
Lansdowne insisted that the regula-
tions should not contain generalities
| of that kind. -
In reply, Lord Lansdowne was as
sured that Russia had no desire to
hamper neutral shipping unnecessar-
1 lily, but that she cannot afford to per-
nit Japan to receive supplies that
would facilitate her military opera
lions. Russia was prepared to modify
her regulations, provided Great Brit
ain would accept the regulations and
bind herself to observe them in future
wars in which she is irIyplved.
Lord LansdoWne is Wseonsid ering
how far in this drefastion he can go
| without creating regulations enbar-
RAISING to Great Britain. The latter
does not wish to take action which
might possibly seriously hamper the
I British navy.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE New York
Sun says today:
"To state the Suns position and it's
reasons therefor requires no meta
physical subtlety of explanation. The
main consideration is as broad as the
nations interests. AS the case is now
made up, we prefer the impulsive can
didate of the party of conservatism
to the mildly conservative, temporiz-
ing, opportunist representative of the
Hun vote in the background. We have
more faith in the distinct promises Of
the Chicago platform not ignoring the
many serious defects of the document,
than we have in the miserable hell
broth of dishwater and dynamite con-
cocted at ST. Louis month ago by
a party afraid to renounce it's criminal
follies and tasted yesterday at Esopus
by a respectable candidate, who de-
clares with gust that it's flavor is adj
mirable!
1--WE shall, therefore, advocate the
election of Roosevelt land Fairbanks
and advise the defeat of Parker and
Davis; preserving our own absolute in
dependence of organic control, and our
freedom of judgment as to every spe-
cific question occurring. And may the
Honorable Theodore Roosevelt's pres
ent mood continue, and if he be elect
ed, may the Discourager Of Precipi-
fancy stand always at his elbow!
I'm the politics; OF the Empire state,
SO far as they concern state matters,
we shall support the candidate, what
ever may be the partisan designation
Of his ticket, who seems to us the more
likely to give the people of New York
the honest and competent adnlinistra-
ton their public affairs so grievously
need and to wipe out the shame and
evil of existing conditions at Albany

jap Plan Revealed.

An-shan-shan, Aug. II, 12:49 pm.
A reconnaissance in force Aug. 7
proved that the Japanese are maxi
ing a wide detour of the Lao valley
towards Mukden. The Thirty fifth
regiment of sharpshooters, with two
guns, participated in the reconnais-
sance, which was directed against the
west flank of the Japanese position,
near An-shan-shan. The movement
revealed the presence Of only one
Japanese brigade, with ten guns, late
ly landed at the port of Niu- chuang.
The brigade is formed Of raw recruits,
almost boys. The whole Japanese
force south of An-shan-shan is not
more than a division with a brigade
of artillery. The remainder of Cen
eral Oku's army is evidently partici-
pating in the fianking operations.

DUBOIS MEN WAR
ON MORMONISM
A Strong Plank Likely to Be
Adopted in Retaliation for
Alleged Insult.
Special to The Journal.


Blackfoot, Idaho, Aug. 11.-When
the Bingham county democratic con-
vention turned down Senator Fred T..
Dubois to be a delegate to the demo-
cratic state convention, which is to
convene at Lewiston next Monday, it
precipitated hot Mormon fight and
aroused every gentle democrat in the
county.
In the democratic convention, held
in Weiser in June, j. w. Czizek, late
of Salt Lake, and prominently iden-
titled with Custer county's mining in
terests, was the only delegate from that
county and voted against Mr.. Dubois
polygamy resolution. Custer county
in it's convention yesterday afternoon,
however, named Senator Dubois to
head the Custer delegation and de-
nounced the insult placed upon
Idaho's leader Of democracy by the
Mormon counties of southeastern
Idaho. The action Of the Custer con-
vention means that nom Mormon
counties are thoroIy aroused on the
Mormon question, and it will prob
ably result in the adoption by the
democratic state convention Of vig-
orous anti Mormon plank.

several weeks has received a num-
Der of letters threatening to kill him
and dynamite his house, is dying.
He was in i'll health at the time the
anonymous letters began to arrive and
was so worried by them that he failed
rapidly and was soon compelled to
take to his bed.
He has grown steadily weaker and
the physicians believe there is now
no chance for his recovery. The let
tiers commenced to come in the middle
of July and threatened that unless he
deposited 81, 900 at the place desig-
mated he would be filled with bullets
and his house blown up. Each con-
tanned this threat in one form or
another and Taplier could not over
come the worry they caused han1.
