pears that the statement of the priso-

that Williams tore the sleeves from his

Williams has told many conflicting
stories since his capture. He declares
he left Grants Pass Tuesday after

capped by the rear window, through
the closely grown manZanita and pine
into the woods lurking about with the
intention of returning and setting fire
to the house. The sudden discovery of
he crime prevented this.
Williams says he never saw the wO-
man previous to the Sunday before the
murder. He was out walking on the
railroad. and as he came by she came
out. gave him a quarter and flash
and asked him to get her brandy. 1t
anpears that he did come to a drug
gist here for the liquor. but that was
denied him. because it was Sunday. He
saws he returned the bottle and the
money by a small boy. and did not go
near the house again.
BEFORE he came here Williams
stonned for a short time IN Medford,
and while there told the marshal he
was coming to Grants Pass to collect
money from a woman.
Williams gives his age as 80. He is
q medium-built man, with dark hair

IDEA MADE KNOWN.
His Radical SeIfconsciou.n... w..
Brought Out by tho Celebrated
Oreyfus Persecution Case.

VIENNA, July 27.-Tne death a few
days ago Of Dr. Theodor Herzl. the
'eader OF the Zionist movement. re-
moves from the arena Of action q nx
ure OF international Importance. That
he initiated one OF the greatest racial
movements OF modern times-that h
succeeded in organizing an unruly and
dispersed people for the first time in
twenty centuries-the world at large
has come to recognize. Mourning for
his death is sincere and universal. for
Jews all over the world regard him as
veritable second Moses.
The strange fact must be noted
however. that DR.. Herzl did not repre-
Sent the typical Jew. Born some for
ty-four years ago in a rich family in
Budapest. he received an excellent uni
versity education. had turned to
journalism and the drama, and had
finally settled down as the Paris cor
respondent of the Neue Freie Presse.
But the Jewish question had never Sc
riously concerned him. because by his
position he had never had occasion to
feel the keen edge of persecution 1t
was only the Hep. Hep" cries of
Vienna and the miserable travesty of
justice in the DreyfuS affair that
shocked him out of his Indifference
into keen racial Inconsistencies.
| The Jewish question doomed up before
him in all its pressing import. He be-
gan to consider the condition of the
eight millions of Jews packed in the
ghettas of Europe. They were despised
and oppressed. crowded into a killing
competition with each other. thwarted
| in their natural development and want
| ed nowhere. What was to be done with
| them? DR.. Herzrs suggestions for
solution of this veXing question were
set forth in a monograph entitled die
! Judenstaat' CThe Jewish State), which
appeared in 1896. He there argued for
| only solution to the troublesome prob
lem. He received a hearty response
from the thinkers of Europe, and prac-
teal measures were taken in the shape
of calling congress which met in
Basic in 1897. Thus was political
Zionism inaugurated.
DR.. Herzl believed that Palestine
could be leased by charter from the
sultan, and that in spite of it's waste
condition it could be developed into a
great industrial center; that by it's
natural position it was the key to the
commerce of three continents, border
ing, as it does, on the Mediterranean,
on India and on Egypt; That it would
afford a place where the Jews might
develop sanely and normally into a
great. free and strong nation, throw
ing off the vices acquired under the
stress of persecution; and, moreover,
that this solution would not only be
a God-sent delverance to the Jews.
but a consumatiOn most devOutly to be

merely a fond dream. or whether it be
destined some day to concrete realiZa-
ton. only time can decide. That ne
was no mere visionary, that he had
firm grasp on all the political and econ
omic bearings of his question, no one
can deny. And that he was a noble
and great hearted patriot VIII also De
