MACHEN PLEADS GUILTY
Tormer Prominent Post Office Official
Has Two Years Added to
His Sentence.

Washington. May 25.-August w.
Machen, unde sentence Of two years
imprisonment for connection with
postal 'auds. pleaded guilty today to
an additional Indictment In which he
is charged Jointly with Crawford and
Lorenz with conspiracy In the pur-
chase of letter carriers Satchels, and
was sentenced to an additional two
years imprisonment.
BY pleading guilty Machen escaped
trial on eleven other indictments, the
district attorney having agreed to
quash them. The two years sentence
Will begin upon the execution of a like
term given him upon conviction on the
indictment on which he was tried a
year ago. BY good conduct Machen
Will reduce the total Imprisonment on
account Of his Irregularities In the
postal service to three years.
In entering his plea Machen begged
permission Of the court to explain his
action He said:
although l did not directly or indi-
rectly interfere with or attempt to in
and considered the competitive bids
under which the contract set forth In
the Indictment was awarded and ex-
ecuted, yet l held an interest in. the
contract and shared in the profits ac-
cruing from 1t. l am advised by coun-
sci that acceptance Of the money con-
stituted a technical violation of the
statute.
I'm my closing words. and with all
the force and earnestness at my COM
mand. let me urge that my plea shall
not affect the interests of other de-
'endants under this Indictment"

TO STOP RACE SUICIDE.
Women Of the 400" Plan an Erection.
of a Model Tenement House
New York

New York. May 25.-Mrs. Oliver II. =.
Belmon and other women of great wealth
have organized a syndicate to build a
tenement exclusively for famil-
les with children. 1t will be twenty stories
high and fill a whole block in Brooklyn,
thus making 1t the largest tenement in the
world. 1t is to be a children's tenement
and Is intended as a blessing to families
who are lighting race suicide against the
terrible odds raised up by the landlords
of New York.
Mrs. Belmont is the leader in the work
or planning, contracting and financing, al
though she Is ably supported by some Of
the most powerful women in the high so
cial world of New York. The plans call
Tor a department store to occupy the en-
tire ground floor. The store Is to be a bus
mess enterprise for the making of money,
but at the same time a store where the
occupants of the model tenement may buy
everything at wholesale cost. Outsiders
Will have to pay full retail prices.
1t is said that arrangements have been
made with John Wanamaker to open and
conduct the store on these lines. and that
George j. Gould mas pledged himself to
help In every way possible.
Mrs. Belmont explained that the tene-
ment will be conducted by women: that
women have prepared the plans, so far as
they have been worked out, and that
the same women viii superintend he cree
ton of the wonderful structure. 1T IS cx-
pected that the tenemen,s will not only be
~sclf-supportiEg but will bring a fair re-
turn on the investment. The profit. ii Is
said, Will go into a fund to build ether
teucments on the am plan.

Insurance Commissioner Durham and
other republican leaders have taken up
he u thrown down by Mayor
Weaver and are forming their lines for
a fight that will doubtless be to the
bitter md. Durham was in conference
with his Heutenants until ar early hour
this morning, but one of the parties
to the conference could be induced to
speak of the plans discussed by organi-
cation eaders. 1t was limited, however,
than an extra session of the Legislature
might be called for the purpose of
making the Philadelphia ripper" bills
passed during the recent session imme-
diately operative. These bills take
from the mayor the power to APPOINT
directors of public safety and public
works and place 1t in the hands of city
councils. Under the act of the last leg

Small Girl Steals and Kills Child, Inn
PEELED by the Influence Of a
MIhrillerO

Toronto, Ont. May 24.-The play, kid
naped From New York." produced at thel
Majestic theater last week, suggested tot
Josephine Carr the idea of kidnapping, and
on Friday afternoon she decided to make a.
practical test of 1t.
The motive. she says, was reward, butt
the end was murder. She came down,
town that afternoon and knowing that
a small lane next to a department store,
was a favroite resort for babies left,
outside while their mothers shopped;
within. watched her opportunity. AsI
soon as Mrs. Murray Of Wellington aven-,
lie had left her 9-mcnths' old boy in its
go-cart. Josephine kidnapped. the child,
cart and all. Taking a car, she rode
almost to her home. Suddenly, she says,
she realized as night came on that she
had a helpless infant on her hands and
not knowing what to do with it, rolled
1t down a 8-foot railway e~mbankment
near her home. Some time afterwards,
probably the next morning. she went to
the bottom OF the raviLe. There she
stripped the bruised and dead form Of its
clothing and placed the body under a dry
culvert. That forenoon she raised the
alarm that she had found the go-cart and
dead baby in the %ravine, and as the result
of the investigation which followed she
was placed under arrest and subsequently
confessed.

BRUTAL ACT BY WOMEN

Their Own Sex and Arc

Hudson, Mich, May 25.-Many suit,
at law have been started, among them
damage suits aggregating $50, 900. a d.
vorce suit and criminal proceedings.
All have grown out of an evening
visit paid by the "avenging angels to
Mrs. Mae Post. whom they found In her
apartment playing cards with her d.

The visiting band was made up OF
men and women in about equal num-
bers. The men. who were armed. drove
and kept Mrs. Posts male companions
INTO an adjoining room, while the wom-
en- angels cut off Mrs. Posts hair.
administered n coat of hot tar and en-
bellished the nasty mess with a storm OF
feathers. Not content with perform

apparently a leader among the female
vigilantes despatched the walls and
floor Of the room, the clothing cut from
the woran's body and her other wear

vandalism WIZ carried to such IN ex-
tent that the woman's entire wardrobe
was ruined, embryo chickens being
found In practically every drawer of
her dresser.
The alleged reason for the acts Of
these men and women, most of them
prominent rosidents Of the town and
community. was the supposed intimacy
of Mrs. Post with Loren Barrett, a

JOHN ., Jr,. REFORMS
JOHN D. Jr., REFORMS
He Re- ms from His Sunday Schos
Class, and Rumor HIS It That He
Will Quit Standard Oil Be-
cause Of Its "Taint".

Malone. N. Y. May 25.-The sensa-|
tional threat is mad that If William
Rockefeller attempts to visit his prince
ly Adirondack preserves at Bay Pond
this summer. he will be shot. The an
tipathy to Mr.. Rockefeller is due pri-.
marily to his treatment of the people
of the village at Brandon, hard by his
$50 square miles of hunting and fish
ing grounds. augmented by his alleged
activity In trying to run down the as
sassin of Orlando P. Dexter.
Upon these and along the line of the
New York M Ottawa railroad, between
Bay Pond and Brandon. and in the
depth OF the forest all on the Rookie
teller property, this ominous legend is
posted:
"a $780, 900 bullet will stop William
Rockefeller the minute he sets foot up-
on this property"
The signs are evidently by the same
hand. roughly printed. The reference
to the value of the bullet is o UNDER
stood, and is no doubt a private con-
ceit on the part of the man who seeks
to intimidate the magnate. The signs
have all been put up within a week.
Called up on the long distance tele-
phone at his home in T~arrytown. and
apprised of the threats. Mr.. Rockefeller
was asked If he YOU defy the enemy
and visit his preserve. He made no
comment upon the threat. of which. It
was learned later. he already knew. but
said that he had made no plans and did
not know when he would go to Bay
Fond.

PRINCIPALS IN THE TRAGEDY.
Pulfond, the Suicide.

Pulford was born in Savanna. He
was past so years of age and reputed
to be worth 5000 900. He was familiar
ly said TO own half the town. He owned
the entire block in which the opera
house is situated. All the citizens Of
the town We're his friends.
Mr.. Pulford owned and rented forty
seven OF the best residences in Sa-
wanna. In addition he was the head
of the towns electric light plant and
attended personally to the management
of the drug store. His peculiar char
acter was said to be indicated in the
fact that with all these responsibilities
he never kept a single book account,
carrying his many involved affairs in
his head and never making a mistake.
He was a philanthropic man, helped
many Door people, and was one of the
most popular men in Carroll county.
He had a wife and two grown daugh-
tiers, one of whom is married.
Berry, the Murdered Man.
big Dan Berry. as he was popu-
larly known, was n of the republican
leaders of the Illinois house at Spring.
field during the Legislative session OF
1895. when the late John Meyer of Chi
ago was speaker. Berry. Meyer and
Hawley of Kane. republicans. and
Clayton e. Crafts. democrat, dominated
both sides of the house, and The Big
Four" as they were known, We're
blamed for all the sins of the thirty
ninth general assembly. Representa-
tive Berry was chairman of the judici-
airy committee and attracted the oppo-
sition of the reform element.
During the close of the session several
street railway bills We're passed, which
afterward We're vetoed by Governor
Altgeld. and the air was full of rumors
of Doodle. Speaker Meyer was in Ill
health and frequently called Berry to
the chair. Rerry's strong personality
and ability to handle the gavel made
him a prominent figure at the capital.
The Woman in the Case"
Mrs. Pulford is a woman of about 40
years of age is said to be such a wom-
an as would naturally attract a man
like Berry; at the same time the re-
lations between Berry and his own wife
have been harmonious and their home
life happy. On the contrary, it is said
that Pulford and his wife have not
had pleasant domestic sailing for the
last five years. and that their relations
seemed at times to be strained to the
breaking point. Then the town gossip
grows more definite in its nsinuations
and says that for some time Berry had
gone armed, and hat the reason for
the precaution was a warning received
from Pulford. What the warning was
can be surmised from the nature of
the ~precaution.

thnt he understood that young Rookie
Teller had held several rather heated
interviews with his father on the gem

Rockefeller. jr.. according to his
member of the bible class. had made
It clear to Rockefeller. sr.. that the
former did not approve Of all OF the
Standard OILS modes of doing business,
but regarded them as affording at least
an excuse for the cry which had been
raised against tainted money!
The younger Rockefeller has devoted
himself with every show Of enthusiasm
to his bible class and has, within the
last few months, gone publicly on rec
ord as saying some sharp things about
modern business methods. He has
preached absolute poverty. He has said
that a corporation that did not do good
to others as well as to itself would
ultimately fail. All his talks to his
class have been marked by earnestness.
