Democrats Would Publish
in Congressional Record
Criticisms of Mayfower
MOODY GIVES REPLY
Secretary of Navy Says
Vessel Has Not Been Used
Solely by the President

WASHINGTON. April S.-Replying
10 criticism OF the use OF the naval
steam yacht MayfOwer, filed in the
House for reproduction in the Con-
gressional Record by Representative
williams in the form Of a newspaper
clipping, Representative Foss, chair
man of the Naval Affairs Committee,
to-day filed, also TO be printed in the
Record, a letter from Secretary
Moody, giving a detailed history OF the
use Of the MavfiOwer by the President.
He says the Mayfiower is not. as was
stated in the criticism, the Presi-
dents yacht"
Continuing, the Secretary says:
she receives her orders from the
department in the same manner as
other vessels. In accordance with
custom OF long standing. however, a
vessel Of the navy has been placed at
the disposal Of the President from
time TO time as he may desire it The
MayfOwer has been the vessel selected
for this service under directions from
she President that at no time
should she be diverted from any naval
duties for which she might be
needed.
The Secretary details the use of the
Mayfiower during the Spanish war at
length. and adds:
The only use OF the vessel made
sy the President or by his direction
has been since the beginning OF the
present commission. June 2S, 1902.
During the twenty-One months she has
cruised $4,000 miles. The President
has spent aboard her at various times
q total OF something less than forty
hours and has travelled ninety-four
miles in her. OF these. all except on
one occasion, were spent in the per
fOrmance Of Official duties. The total
time spent on board by members of
the Presidents family or guests has
been one week and the distance
travelled has been forty miles.
"Au expenditures of every nature
pccasioned by the visit OF the Presi-
dent or OF any Of his family have been
paid by him. The Mayfiower has never
been held for the President nor at any
time has money been expended in re-
furnishing the ship as the Presidents
private yacht nor for refitting and re-
pairing for the Presidents personal
use.
4 have the honor TO say in closing
that. according TO the best of my
knowledge and belief. the Mayflower
lIas not been diverted an hour from
ANY naval duty for which she was
needed. nor has dollar Of the public
money been expended for the pleasure
or convenience OF the President or any
OF his family or guests"

send. which have gone up the west
coast of Vancouver Island to search for
a dismasted vessel reported to them
by passing San Francisco collier, are
expected back Saturday morning.
There is little doubt that the ves-

now believed that the captain and crew
may have got off in the boats at sea.

instructions from Lloyds' agent. 1t is
rerorted that the hull of the schooner

pieces by the powerful ground swell
around Kyuquot Point and that in a
day or two not vestige OF the vessel

scarcity of Chinese Cannery Labor.

SEATTLE, Wash, April S.-One hun
dred Chinese were shipped from here
to-day to San Francisco to be sent from
there to Bristol Bay (Alaska) Gamer
les. Owing to the scarcity Of Chinese
cannery labor in San Francisco the
San Francisco people who own the
Bristol Bay canneries have been com
pelled to come here to get the men
wanted. The condition, as showing the
decrease in San Francisco's Chinese
population because of the exclusion
laws, is considered remarkable.

TERMS NOT
ACCEPTABLE
Friends OF Parker
Want Delegates
Pledged.
Resolutions Outlined by
Tammany Boss Do. Not
Satisfy Them.
Special Dispatch to The can.

WASHINGTON. April Tam
many Halls offer to compromise with
the Parker forces in the New York
State convention by passing a reso3u-
ton of Endorsement, instead of a
resolution of instruction under the
unit rule, is understood to in
volve a resolution reading some
what. like this: Resolved, That
we commend to the Democrats of the
country for their consideration the
name of Hon. Alton B. Parker, pre-
siding Judge of the highest tribunal
of this State, whose abilities are adj
mitted by all. whose character is un-
assailable, and whose Democracy is
above reproach and criticism, and
whose record in public office has al
ways been marked by conservatism,
dignity and honor"
The resolution has been outlined TO
friends of Judge Parker and they have
been asked to accept it in lieu of a
resolution which, while commencing
the Judge in some such terms, would
add a clause instructing the delegates
from the State of New York to vote
for him as a unit in the ST. Louis con-
yention
The Call is informed that Judge Par
| ker's friends are more than ever con-
WINGED that the peculiar nature of the
present national situation requires the
adoption of instructions by the State
convention in language that can adj
nit of no doubt. They have practically
canvassed the entire Democratic sen
timent in Congress from the Atlantic to-
the Pacific and have learned from this
canvass that the demand is practically
unanimous that New York shall in
struct in favor Of some candidate and
bind it's delegates so that there shall
be no question about how the Empire
State stands
The consensus of opinion is that if
New York instructs the contest De-
tween the radical and the conservative
ends of the party will all be over within
three weeks thereafter or before. the
middle of May. and that easy control
of the convention for Judge Parker will
have been assured.
On the other hand, if New York
should refrain from instructing and
merely pass complimentary resolutions
which would still leave the delegates
free to vote for any man for whom the
convention might be stampeded the
contest would so on up TO the very
meeting of the convention. always with
a chance of mistake being made and
a weak ticket nominated. Thus the
demand for instructions does not come
from. Judge Parker's friends in New
York, but from the Democracy at large.
The argument that Tammany had
made against the instructions and IN
favor of a compromise is, of course
largely prompted by desire to avoid
humiliation for Charles F. Murphy the
Tammany leader.
Perry Belmont Of New York. who
has been here for several days. quietly
meeting his old friends in Congress, is
of the opinion that the State conven-
ton will instruct for Parker by a large
majority. The popular demand for
Parker is in reality but a cloak to rid
the party of Bryan and Hearst. for if
New York State. which the Hearst
party represents. in Congress. should
indorse another New York man his own
candidacy would be made ridiculous.

WOrthiess Husband
Fires Shots at
His. Uife.
May T0beimann Is
Struck BY -Four
Bullets.

.Enraged by the refusal of his wife to
longer abide with him or to contribute
to his support. Frederick Tobelmann
riddled her with bullets yesterday aft
erneon, and the surgeons at the Cen
trail Emergency Hospital hold out but
little hope of recovery.
The shooting occurred in the home of
Ernest Harrub, 6Os1z Minna street,
brother-in-law of the woman, about
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
crime was deliberately planned and
executed. Fhe shots were fired while
Tobelmann' and his wife were sitting
on bed, where he had coaxed her un-
der the pretext that he wished TO dis
cuss a reconciliation. The criminal got
the revolver from a back room at
Grauffers grocery. 297 Fell street
Tobelmann has had murder in his
heart for some time. About two months
ago he and his. wife resided at 225
Hickory avenue, but because he would
not work or contribute to the support
of his wife and three children, aged,
respectively, 2, and z years. Mrs. To-
belmann was compelled to give up the
house and went TO live with her sister,
Mrs. Harrub.
Three weeks ago Tobelmann visited
the Hafrub household and pointed a
revolver under Mrs. Harrub's nose and
threatened his wife. Yesterday after
noon he went to the house under the
influence of liquor, which has been his
condition for many months. Mrs. To-
belmann chided him for his refusal to
work. whereupon he ordered her to-.
shut her mouth. He then stated that
he thought his wife should contribute
% cents a day to him. She replied that
she would not live with him again un-
less he went to work. which remark
brought forth the declaration that he
would never do hard work. Mrs. Har-
rub and her husband were in the room
during this conversation, but TobeI-
mann gave no sign of his intentions.
Mrs. Harrub was called out, and when
she left Tobelmann asked his wife to.
step into the bedroom with him, as he
wished to speak privately with her He
threw open his coat and slapped his
pockets to signify that he was unarmed
in view of the threats and gun play
he had previously made.
Tobelmann went into the room and
his wife followed. The 4-year-old child
was standing at the door, and Tobel-
mann requested Harrub to take the
boy away and close the portieres. At

and killed his wife shortly before 6
O'Clock last night.
The woman, whose body now lies in
the Morgue, was Annie Fallon and she

month ago she began divorce pro-

then she had been living at 949 Mission

Last night she met. Fleming at the

Fleming he hurriedly preceded her and,

Unaware of the fate that awaited her,
the unfortunate wife entered the room
in which her husband sat waiting. A
Quarrel ensued, in which Mrs. Fallon
made a futile attempt in death strug

Enraged at her combativeness, Fallon
wrenched one hand free from her wise

fired the shots that sent her soul. into

NEW YORK, April l. = without
equivocation William Jennings Bryan
declared tonight that the vote of New

national election, next fall. to insure
the success of either the Democratic
or Republican ticket In this connection
Bryan said the citizens of this State
still seemed to forget that the center Of
population was several hundred miles
west of the Empire State
At the same time Bryan declared that
the national Democratic convention in
ST. Louis would be controlled by the
regulars who stood by the Democrat
ic party in 1896 and again in 1900. He
said that the St. Louis convention
would not be controlled by New York's
choice of a candidate
