WRONG MAN HANGED.
HIS Brother Confesses Crime
For Which He Was
Executed.

a Washington, Pa, special
tells the following story which
should be enough to make
thinking person refrain from par
ticipating in lynching:
my God, that's my brother.
He never killed that woman. I
am the murderer. I should have
been hanged instead of Eugene, F."
cried Adolph J. Bloch today in a
frenzy of remorse, interrupting
companion at the steel mill in
Cannonsburg, who was reading
to him an account Of the hang
ing of Eugene Bloch at Allen
town on Tuesday. He is in the
Washington county Jail tonight
awaiting a hearing on the charge
of the murder to which he has
confessed, and for which his in
n0cent brother has been exc
cuted. He is German Jew,
twenty-six years old, and for
merly lived in Philadelphia. His
brother was hanged for the all
legged murder of Mrs. Kate Fall
Finger on Aug. 6, 1908. Adolph |
Bloch declared to the authorities
today after the item had been /
read to him that he himself killed I
Mrs. Falzinger and that rhe
brother who had been hanged
was guiltless. Bloch i a mill
worker, reads newspapers but
little and says he knew nothing
Of the trial, conviction and exc
3ution Of his brother until today.

A PROMINENT CITIZEN,
SOLDIER AND STATESMAN.
Col. Henry /. MuidroW Dies at
His Home In StarkViIle,
After Brief illness,

There were many people in
| Columbus in fact all over the
State of Mississippi, who were
grieved last Friday at the an
n 0 un C m en- [ of the death
of Colonel H. L. Muldrow,
which occurred at his home in
Starkville at 6o'clock that morn
ing after an illness of only one
night. Colonel Muldrew was TAX
en- sick Thursday evening and a
physician was summoned but he
rapidly grew worse until the end
came.
The deceased was a great and
good man, and he was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him in
tImately, and his friends loved
him for his simple honesty and
uprightness. He had been in
public life for many years, during
all of which time he was consist
enr and energetic in the dis
charge Of his duties.
Col Muldrow was a brave Con-
federate Soldier, and won his title
by intelligent devotion to duty.
At the close Of the war he be-
gun the practice of law and rose
rapidly in his profession.
In 1876 he was elected to Con-
gress from this district, and
served with distinction in the
45th, 10th, 47th and 48th sessions. |
At the time of his death he was
Chancellor Of the First Chancery |
District, and his term would not |
have expired until August 31st, |
1907.
Col, Muldrow was a christian
gentleman, and his place as a
citizen will be hard to fill.

The President has appointed
H. a. Gudger Of North Carolina
to be Judge of the Supreme Court
of the Panama Canal Zone in
the place of Judge Osceola Kyle
of Alabama, resigned. Mr.. Gud-
ger has been Consul General at
Panama since july, 1897, and is
thoroughly acquainted with the
people and conditions on the 18th
mus. One of the reasons for the
resignation of Judge Kyle was
his inability to understand Span
ish, and another his unfamiliarity
with the customs Of the isthmus.
Judge Gudger is especially we'll
equipped in both Of those par
ticulars. Secretary Taft says that
the change involves no reflection
upon the character of Judge Kyle.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
AND HIS PARTY
Not In HarmOnyThe Breach Grows Wider and Wider Still
Inauguration Not To Be Love Feast
Among the Brethren.
THE PRESIDENT THANKS THE DEMOCRATS.

A Washington special OF the
1st gives the following very in
teresting bit of news which is
causing Democrats all over the
country to smile. The special
says:
There is a growing breach be-
tween President Roosevelt and
the Republican members Of Con-
gress, and a wide split in the
Republican party is threatened.
An evidence of the hostility be-
tween the Republican leaders III
the Senate and Mr.. Roosevelt
cropped out to-day when the
President sent a special message
to Congress urging the enact
ment of a law to prevent the
spread of contagious diseases
among animals. After the mes
sage had been read, Senator
Hale, of Maine, arose, and, in a
tone of intense sarcasm, said:
''I trust that the Committee
having charge of these matters,
and for that matter the whole
Senate, will take notice of the
Administration that we have not
been prompt in passing needed
legislation, and I hope that the
Committee will bring the bills in
and thus do its duty as commit
tees Of this body are presumed to
do.'
Senator Hale's sarcastic re-
marks created a sensation at the |
Capitol, and were freely discussed |
in the cloak rooms tonight. |
There is no doubt that the Maine
Senator voiced the general SEN
timent of a majority of the Re-
publican members of the Senate.
NOT A LOVE FEAST.
With President Roosevelt and
the Republican war horses in
Congress pulling in different
directions, the inauguration on
next Saturday will lack the es-
sentials of party love feast. 1t
is not exaggerating the situation
to say that the President on the
eve of his Inauguration, and less
than four months after polling an
unprecedented plurality, finds his
leadership disputed, and the
whole question of the origination
and execution of policies to be
fought out during the next four
years.
What is regarded as a signifi-
cant incident is being related here
about Mr.. Roosevelt, and il has
created a painful impression
among the members of Congress
who have grown to regard party
as the controlling force in nation

al affairs. The President at
tended a dinner recently, al
which Senator Cockrell, of Mis-
souri,, was present. Mr.. Roose-
welt arose at a stage of the din
ner and announced that he was
going to do an unusual thing,
which might cause much COM
ment. He was going to propose
the health of a political opponent.
He therefore offered a toast to
Senator Cockrell, and in his re-
marks which followed announced !,
with the utmost candor, that he
would not necessarily be bound
by party during the four years
of his term. His words were
taken as a sort Of declaration of
independence of the Republican
party, and have been a subject
Of much comment by Senators.
Events OF the. last two weeks
show that the Senate and the
House are both accepting the
challenge Of the President, and
Congress, in which he may be
beaten if the Democrats do not
come to his assistance.
Men who have sat in CONGRESS
and followed the course of na-
tional politics for the last twenty
five years, says that the drift
which has set in means that the
next Congress will witness the
rapid progress of one of the
greatest contests between a Pres |
ident and the Senate and House |
that have occurred in several de /
cades. 1t will be over the two
great questions-the control of |
transportation and the exercise
Of the pc wer of the President.
They expect it to involve the Sc
ectiOn of Presidential candidates
n 1908. Some men in the Re-
publican party even now are
seriously discussing the forma-
ion Of conservative" wing of
he Republican party for the pur-
pose of fighting the President
md his measures.
The Navy Bill furnished nany
III the House with
opportunity of showing indepen-
lence of the President. The bill
With its authorization of two bat
leships was passed only with the
id of Democratic votes. The
Navy Bill furnished the same op-
,ortunity to the Republicans of
he Senate. Senator Hale's
peech in advocating two battle
hips and an increase of marine
orps was almost an open attack
n Mr. Roosevelt for following
he tactics of Great Britain and
smaller nations.
