there iS no H""d 10 vast" any
more valuable time over this,
matter. but t. come - the i>SUr
squareiy and at once and be
done with tuc miserable bu>i-
ness one way or the other. This
is the view that appeals to COM

to shoot off their mouths tor
future campaign purposes.
There will be a lively fight
over the proposed repeal Of the
lien law with the indications in
favor of the repeal.
Mention was made last week
of the proposed railroad legis-
lation. 1t is becoming more
and more evident every day
that Bryan was right when he
said that the government must
control the railroads, or the
railroads will certainly control
the government. The State
house is infested with corpora
tion lawyers and officials, suave,
sleek and persistent, and they
will throttle every effort, if
possible. that is made to give
the people some relief from
their exactions and burdens.
They furnish only the figures
that will serve their purpose
and have these and their argu-
ments presented bv the shrewd-
est lawyers in the country, who
usually succeed in making the
average committeeman believe
that railroads have no object
under the sun but the happiness
Of the patrons and have no Of
icers except canonized saints
lent by glory for the especial
benefit of the poor man.
Both houses have accepted
the invitation to visit Clemson
next Saturday, provided Glenn
son pays the freight, which
Clemson will no doubt do, as
these institutions usually have
a very definite object in these
vitations.

There was an entertainment
at the Star warehouse frloay
evening for the benefit OF the
public school library. 1t was a
comedy entitled GAIL Tangled
Up" and a good many OF the
talented young folks took part
in the production, which was
very creditable and pronounced
quite a success. The returns
were about $50 net. This makes
about $3.50 that has been ralseo

destination. Ii i> hoped /. 4
thi, communication will not
meet Il like fate.
The matter now engaging the
closest attention and that will
overshadow every thing else un-
til Thursday of this week, is the
elections, particularly that OF
Judge of the 3rd circuit, which
embraces Williamsburg county.
Judge Purdy sent in his resig-
nation last Wednesday, which
is to take effect September,
/ 1907. For the unexpired term,
which ends December, 1908,
there are two candidates, to
wit: Solicitor John S Wilson
of Manning and Hon L B Fraser
of Sumter, the latter being a
member of the house of repres.
entatatives. Both these are
good men and good lawyers and
are very popular and the con-
test is spirited, the champions
of each being enthusiastic and
intensely in earnest. Mr. George
Galletly of Florence was spoken
of as third candidate, but his
name was withdrawn last week.
The election will be held to-
morrow and the result is keenly
anticipated. In the event of
Mr. Wilson's election to the
judgeship, his place as solicitor
must be filed, and for this posi-.
ton there will be more than one
aspirant. Hon W H Wells of
Florence will seek this Office and
is making an active canvass.
Messrs B Frank Kelley of
Bishopville and J H Clifton of
Sumter, both of whom are like
wise in the Senate, have been
mentioned.
Besides the judgeship above
mentioned, elections will be
held tomorrow for superintend-
ent OF the penitentiary, three
directors of the penitentiary,
one trustee of Claflin university
and a U S senator. OF course,
the vote for Senator Tillman to
succeed himself is merely a
formality. Col. Griffith will be
reelected superintendent OF the
penitentiary without opposition
The three directors whose terms
,, expire, Messrs Sanders, Mobley
and Kirby, are candidates. Be-
sides these Messrs Smith OF
Colleton and King of Columbia
are candidates. When these
elections are over, then look
for the hair-pulling and bowling
that may be expected at any
moment. The three leading
subjects of contention are the
dlspensary, the lien law and
the railroads.
The anti-dispensary forces
have presented their measure,
which is the local option bill
prepared by Messrs JP Carey
of Pickens and T P Cothran OF
Anderson and modelled after the
famous Morgan bill, which it
follows in most essential teat'
ures. 1t is too lengthy to re-
produce here, as inasmuch a
most of your readers are tamil
lar with the general scope and
tenor of the Morgan bill, they
have a good idea of this new
measure which is the local CD

EIGHTH WARD REGULARS
INDORSE FAV0RlTES,
Declare for Adams for Alderman-Riker
Stands Well, but Delegates Will
Not Be Influenced.

Chandler w. Riker seemed to be
favored as a candidate for Governor
when the Eighth Ward Regulars met
last night. However, the club did not
indorse Riker. They adopted a motion
to his effect, but or the understand
ing tina there was no desire to compel
delegates to pledge themselves to
Riker. Favorites were indorsed for
Common Council, Board of Works,
Board of Education and justice of the
peace.
Former Assemblyman Herbert w.
Taylor, who presided, had little to say
on the political situation generally or
in the Eighth Ward. but when Chand-
Ter w. Rikcr's name was mentioned by
one OF the speakers he nodded his head
emphatically and made a few remarks,
in which he enlarged on Riker's good
points and he reviewed briefly his
career as a lawyer and public office
holder.
william B. Adams was indorsed as
Common Council candidate for two
years, and Louis ]. Sayre was-indorsed
for a one-year term to take the place
of Curtis r. Burnett, who resigned re-
Gently. Augustus F. Eggers was in
dorsed for the Board of Works, Robert
Barry for School Commissioner, and
John L. Frank for justice of the peace.

YOUNG WIFE, CRUELTY
TREATED, A SUICIDE.
Mrs. Bella Greber, of Long Branch,
Whose Husband Beat Her, Hangs
Herself in Apartment.
Especial to the Evening Star.

I1Bt%Aht ~ t"R 1880
LONG BRANCH, Aug. 2O.-Bella Greber,
% years old, the wife of Paul Greber, killed
herself this morning because she was tired
of life. Mrs. Greber has been married
about a year and her life has not been all
sunshine and roses. She has lived with her
husband at 81 South Broadway, this city for
some time and made every possible effort
to help him earn a livelihood. From the
testimony of the neighbors Paul was in the
habit of beatlng his wife frequently and
many are the tales of cruelty that are On
the tongues of the other occupants of the
house.
This morning, about 1880 o'clock, Frank
Leparto, an Italian. who subjects rooms In
the building to Greber, wished to enter the
apartments. He knocked but got no an
swer and finally he broke In the door. AS
he entered there was the body swinging
from one of the bed posts. A rope had
been tied around the woman's neck and she
was swinging in a crouchlng position.
Greber. who got a position In New York
only a few days ngo and who was In that
city at the time that his wife killed her
self, was notified. He says that his wife
and he could have lived together hap
PLY had she not been so jealous Of him.
He say that he never gave her cause 10
be and that she was most suspicious. She
used to follow him around to every place
where he got n position and accuse him
of infidelity.
For acting In this manner he says he
used to peat her In order to correct her.
The last occasion when he beat her was
last Saturday night. when he disturbed
the entire neighborhood by creating a
scene In one Of the stores in the block.

PROMINENT GUESTS
FOR PARKER OUTING.
No Discrimination by the Association in
Inviting Gubernatorial Aspirants to
Tomorrow's Affair,

More than $40 tickets for the an
nual clambake of the Joel Parker AS
ISOLATION had been sold up to last
night by the organization, thus insur-
ing the greatest outing that 1t has ever
held. Last year. for the outing, which
was then considered a good one, there
were SOLE 246 tickets. Evidently the
prosperity of the Democratic party has
brought prosperity to the "Joels."
More than local importance Is at
tached to the affair that will be held
tomorrow because there will be ONE
thing of a harmony gathering at Port
au-Peck. Hudson County will be rep
resented by Robert Davis n James
Hennessy, the latter chairman of the
Democratic County Committee. The
State Committee will be represented by
State Chairman Robert Hudspeth.
From Passaic County will be SEN
ator John H~inchliffe, who is liked by
Governor; Union County will send
James E. MARITIME, another gubernato-
ria aspirant; from Somerset former
Senator Samuel s. Childs, who is also
being doomed for chief executive of the
State, will make the trip, while the Es-
sex candidate, former Judge Francis
Child, has also been invited. Mercer
County's special guest will be another
%aspirant for the Governorship, former
Mayor Frank S. Katzenbach.
The special guest of ono will be
John d. Thomson, the first president
of the Parker Association, to whom the
members look with IN affection rarely
found in a political association.

REPUBLICANS IN NINTH
DO SOME IND0RSING.
Want Edward Schoen in Education
Board-Eggers Fails to Get
Their Support.

More than a hundred Republicans of the
Ninth Ward met last night in the Social
Athletic Clubs room, Clinton avenue and
Quitman street, and opened the fall cam
paign with a showing of enthusiasm and
interest that augurs well for Republican
success In that ward. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the local county
committeeman. The business transacted
consisted in the Endorsement of Edward
Schoen for School Commissioner to fill
out the unexpired term of John c.. Eisele.
whose resignation because of removal from
the ward had been previously read by the
president. : Alderman Julius A.. Meyer
named Sidney Smith as a competitor, but
when the vote vas taken Schoen polled SC
many votes that Alderman Meyer hastened
to have the vote made unanimous.
For justices of the peace, Frank VIII
holm. of the First District, received the
preference. with Peter Dimler. of the Sec
ond District. a close second. If the ward
is entitled to two Justices-which Is still
in doubt-they they will be the candidates.
Ferdinand Schurr was nominated for con-
stable.
Alderman Meyer then proposed that the
club indorse Augustus w. Eggers. Of the
Eleventh Ward. for Board of Works Com
missioner. but several declared their oppo-

being apparently in the large majority the
motion was withdrawn.

Johnston Leads Negroes in War on
Republicans in Second Ward.

Young negro Democrats of the Second
Ward held their first open-air meeting of
the campaign last night at the corner of
Court and Nevada streets. and cheered for
an open Sunday. Louis S. Johnston, chair
man of the club, attacked the Republican
party, which he charged with violating
promises to the negroes. Johnston was a
member of the Republican executive COM
mittee last year. and resigned after he
claimed he was ~insulted by the chairman
of the executive committee at that time,
and since then has been organizing
negroes whom he influences to oppose the
Republican party.
After the open-air meeting, the Young
Democrats of the Second Ward held a
meeting at 325 Halsey street, and organized
by electing officers for the coming year.
They are as follows:

MAN HELD IN
CHICAGO
Prisoner Arrested in Tav-
shanjian Murder Case Once
Chosen to Kill Sultan.

CHICAGO. Aug. 20.-In the arrest of
Monoog Curezhin. 40 years old, a WELL
known Chicago Armenian. the Chicago
police think they ave a possible clew
to the murderer of the wealthy New
York Armenian rug merchant, Tav-
shanjian, who, it Is believed, was
killed because he had refused to con-
tribute to the maintenance of a secret
society, and the killing of Father
Koran Kasperhut, a Chicago priest.
whose body was found in a trunk in
New York.
Curezhin admits having been a MEM
her of both of the Armenian Huncha-
kist societies, and that at one time he
| had been sent to murder the Sultan
of Turkey, but he denies that he had
anything to do with the recent MUIR
ders In New York or a any knowl-
edge of the murderers.
Circulars and letters, believed by the
Chicago police to hold valuable infor-
nation for which the New York au-
thorities have been searching for
months, were obtained from him.
Two of the fingers of his right hand
are missing. He told the police they
were blown off in 1904 at Waukegan,
where he had gone to experiment with
explosives which were to be used in
the assassination of the Sultan. He
laid he was elected to go to Turkey
as the head of a band having in view
the murder of the Sultan, but on ac-
count of the accident to his hand while
he was preparing for his mission he
was not allowed to go.
? ."They thought / might be too easily
identified because of my injuries"
Curezhin said. whether another leader
was selected for the men ! do not
know. Father Martoogessian, 1 believe,
was at the head of the executive COM
mittee that elected me to go 20 Tur-
key"
Father Martoogessian is said to have
been acquainted with Father Kasper-
kut, the murdered priest.
Curezhin said he believed the New
York merchant, who was known to be
wealthy, had refused to pay the society
tithes. He said the first Armenian so
ciety was organized in 1885 and he was
one of the first members. In 1901 some
of the members deserted their brothers
and formed another society. He said
that he was among the deserters from
the old order.
The police will hold Curezhin until
further investigation of his story can
be made. The New York authorities
have been notified of his arrest.
