New York, Sept. 2s. Promising to
make in his speech in Madison Square

He returned to the Gilsey House

Mr.. Hearst received a warm welcome
at Poughkeepsie, where he and his

Brooklyn and vice president of the
league, predicted that Mr.. Hearst
would get all Of the votes that were
cast last fall by the Municipal Owner
ship advocates and the Democrats.
The strongest bit of information
handed out at Hearst headquarters
was the declaration of Justice William
j. Gaynor of the supreme court in
Brooklyn that he would support Hearst
and advised every one to follow his
example. Great Importance was at.
tached to this open statement by the
Brooklyn jurist, who was prominently
mentioned as a possible candidate be-

KILLS NURSE FOR LOVE.
insane Murderess Stays Attendant Who
Desires to Leave Her.

Newburg, N. Y, Sept. 28.- Because
she loved her so much she did not
want her to leave the Institution Mrs.
Lizzie Halliday, murderess confined
in the Matteawan Asylum For the
Criminal Insane, inveigled Miss Nellie
Wicks, her attendant, into the wash
room and, locking the door, stabbed
her to death with pair Of scissors.
Lizzie Halliday in 1898 killed her
husband and two women, concealing
the bodies under her house at Burling-
ton, a town in Sullivan county.
Mrs. Halliday had displayed great
deal of affection for Miss Wicks, and
the nurse had made her one of her
most trusted patients.
A few weeks ago Miss Wicks told
Mrs. Halliday that she was going to
leave the hospital to engage in private
nursing. Mrs. Halliday seemed great
ly depressed and begged the young wo-
man not to leave, declaring that she
would kill her before she would allow
her to leave the asylum.
Although Mrs. Halliday had made
several attacks on other attendants,
she had made SO manyfdle threats that
no attention was paid to her threat.
Miss Wicks pretended to humor her,
but continued her preparations to
leave.
When Miss Wicks entered the lava
tory Mrs. Halliday followed her and
locked the door on the inside. leaving
the key in the door SO that none of the
other attendants could open it.
Mrs. Halliday knocked the young
woman down and then attacked her
with a scissors Miss Wicks' shrieks
brought the other attendants TO the
scene, and they forced the door and
overcame the insane woman after a
desperate struggle. Miss Wicks died
two hours later of her wounds.

Police Dragging River For Missing

confesses When Confronted With
Evidence Of Crime.

New York, Sept. 28.-Accompanied by
police officers Omar Tashijiran, an
Armenian. twenty two years old, Of 426
Eleventh avenue, who confessed to
numbering his brother, Marhar, and
dismembering the body, was taken to
the foot of West Thirty sixth street to
point out the spot where he had said
he dropped the head of his brother into
the North river. Immediately after
ward men began dragging the river IN
the hope of securing tie satchel in
which Omar says he placed the head,
together with quantity of iron.
Inspector Mclaughlin, after Omar
confessed, said he wanted to compli-
ment the detectives and Policeman
Thomas f. MCGOWAN for having clear
ed up murder that at first seemed as
though it were to go down in the an
mails of the department as an unsolved
mystery
The prisoner was arrested at his
home at the instigation of Police Cap
tain Flannery after he had received an:
unsigned postal card which pointed to-
w
murder of the man whose dismember-
ed body was found on Sunday.
Younger Brother Witness.
One of the chief witnesses against
the Armenian is the ten-year-old broth
er of the murdered man, Levon Tashi-
jiran, r''p, the police allege, has said
to them.
Il saw Omar take Marhar's head and
tie it up in a newspaper"
Several witnesses, whose testimony,
the police say. proves their case be-
yond doubt, 70 were taken into
custody.
Upon searching the Tashijiran apart
ment the police say they found stains
on the floor and walls, which bore evil
dence of an attempt having been made
lately to clean them One of the
neighbors told the police that there had
been an oilcloth cover on the dining
room table of the same design as that
found on the body. There was NO
cloth ON the table when the police went
into the place.
1t was sight of the distorted limbs
and torso of his murdered brother that
caused the young man, cringing with
terror, to confess to the murder. Pre-
vious to that he had maintained a
stolid silence through which the police
were unable to break. At sight of
parts Of the body, however, he utterly
collapsed and in agonizing tones con
fessed his guilt and told of how he
had murdered his brother, cut up and
distributed his body and threw the
head into the river.
Victim "Too Mean to Live"
He declared to Inspector Mclaughlin
that his brother was ''the meanest man
on earth" $50 mean, he said, that he
was not fit to live. He declared that
it had taken him until 2 o'clock in
the morning to dismember the body
and that it was 5 o'clock when he left
the house with the last part Of it.
When he was first placed face to face
with his brothers distorted limbs over
come by the horror of the spectacle
which he himself had created, he
screamed aloud, and his demeanor was
that of an obsessed creature.
"a priest!' he shrieked. "Send me
priest!'

Hold Conference WIFE Taft.

t7old Conference With I att.
Senator Zayas asserted that Secre
taries Taft and Bacon had approved
this proposition, but the assembly was
not willing to consider it without con
sulting the American commissioners
A committee was therefore dispatched
to consult with the Americans. 1t
consisted of Senior Dolz, president OF
the senate; General Nunez, governor
of Havana province; Senators Frias
and Fonts y Sterling and Congressman
Govio. Secretary Taft told this com.
mittee that he had at first approved
the suggestion of Senior Zayas provid-
ed that both parties felt it would bring
peace, but upon further consideration
he had decided that If it became neces-
sary to create a provisional govern.
ment the only safe plan was that this
be done by an act of the United States.
The committee questioned what the
attitude of the commissioners would
be if congress elected a constitutional
president. Secretary Taft replied that
such course would embarrg IS the
commissioners greatly, as they felt
that any other man than Palma would
not be satisfactory to all, including the
United States. Therefore unless Presi3
dent Palma continued in office inter.
vention seemed the only alternative.
Little Hope Of Agreement.
When the committee reported this to
the Moderate assembly it resulted in
immediate expressions that nothing re
mained but intervention. After a long
discussion, however. it was resolved to
attend congress and refuse to accept
the presidents resignation Beyond
this no one would make a prediction,
and there was but faint hope of find
Ing way for the preservation Of Gu
ba's sovereignty. The assembly dis
solved amid a general feeling of de
preston.
The difficulty now is that each side
thoroughly mistrusts the other.
President Palma does not yield an
inch. He adheres to his point of view
that the government cannot make con-
cessions to armed rebels and sticks to
his determination to resign.
Mr. Taft is preparing for contingen-
cies Fleet and men are ready, with
the army looming up in the back
ground.
General Funston is here He landed
and went at once to the American lega-
