BENEDICT GIMBEL
DIES At ROBOkEN
SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS
PROVE FATAL
Wealthy Philadelphia Merchant, Re-
Gently Accused of a Serious OF.
fense, Protests Against
Medical Aid
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 22.-Benedict
Gimbel, the wealthy Philadelphia mer-
with broken glass In a hotel In Ho-
boken soon after he had been arrested
on serious charges in this city, died nt
st. Mary's hospital, Hoboken, N. j.,
shortly before 3 o'clock this morning.
That the mental strain under which
Gimbel labored because of the arrest
was one of the important contributions
of his failure to recover from his
wounds is the opinion of DR.. Jurist, the
family physician who came from Phil
adelphia to attend to him. 1t was only
by the constant use of stimulants that
the patient was kept alive Sunday the
doctor said.
Mr.. Gimbers evident desire was to
die, even after the arrival of the mem
bers of his family, who did their best TO
encourage him, protesting against the
efforts of the doctors who were trying
to save his life.
Mrs Gimbel had rooms. at the hospi-
tai, where she could be called at a mo-
ment's notice, and was at his bedside
constantly.
Asylum Awaited Him
Members of the family had strong
hope that if Mr., Gimbel recovered the
charges against him could be overcome
| by the plea of insanity. They had
planned to send him to an asylum If
they were unsuccessful in court.
| 1t became evident before midnight
that Mr.. Gimbel could not live. Oxygen
was administered to him all day yes
terday and later in the night, but he
did not respond.
While the physicians could hold out
little hope it was determined to try
| infusion of blood to strengthen the
patient 1t is said that Gimbel did not
revive sufficiently, however, to test the
experiment. Early this morning he be-
came unconscious and expired.
The coroner was called to the hospi-
tai, but as the cause of Gimbel's death
was plain a certificate of death, assign
| ing suicide as the cause, was given.
Gimbel's body later was turned over
to his family and was sent to Phila-
delphia.

COCK FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Proposed to Rescind General Woods
Order Of Prohibition.

1t is expected that Governor Magoon will
refer to Secretary Taft the question that
has been raised by the Cuban people Of the
propriety Of resembling the order made by
General Leonard Wood, when he was mill
tary governor of Cuba, prohibiting cock
fighting in the island. The matter is re-
garded as really worthy of serious atten-
ton, for prudence dictates the adoption Of
q policy Of Cancellation toward the Cubans,
and It is realized that Interference with
their amusements is likely to cause more
friction than would be engendered by or
ders affecting the graver issues of life.
Secretary Taft had such an experience as
Governor Magoon Is now undergoing when
the former was governor OF the Philippines,
and. although he was able to prevent cock
fighting in the city OF Manila, SO deeply
seated was the love of this sport that he
was obliged to refrain from interfering with
this ancient institution outside Of the capt.
tai. Hence every holiday saw a pilgrimage
of the citizens into the suburban towns to
enjoy the sport. 1t Is said that Governor
Magoon may decide to follow Secretary
Taft's example in that matter.

PREACHERS CENSURE KNOX.
Presbyterians Dislike the Senator's At
titude on Smoot Case.

PHILADELPHIA, February Ex-senator
Knox was reprimanded yesterday by the
Presbyterian Ministerial Association for his
recent speech in defense OF Senator Smoot
The address was discussed by the preachers
at their weekly meeting in the Witherspoon
building, and by a unanimous vote 1t was
resolved that that portion Of Senator
Knox's speech. in which he advocated ac-
quiescence in Mormon polygamy as q mat
ter of religious federation was untenable
with Christian ethics
Discussing the senator's speech the Rev.
H. Clay Ferguson. pastor Of Harper Memo
rial Church. said after the adjournment
that 1t was IAN insult to the people of
Pennsylvania" The Rev. DR.. William N.
Paden. pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Salt Lake City, Utah, and former
pastor of the Holland Memorial Presbyte-
rian Church In this city. made the principal
attack on Senator Knox. He said:
THE senator knows well that convictions
for polygamy are impossible in Utah. He
knows, or he ought to know, that Mormons
are careful to avoid the civil marriage for
this reason: or. IL it is performed. it is per-
formed outside of Utah. The United States
government can secure only dozen or so
convictions for polygamy out of 800 noto-
rious cases of polygamous living. Take any
1hoTluoH WHO IL hSlnS Win nalr a dozen
women. acknowledged as his wives by the
Mormon Church, and it cannot be proved
legally that he is married at all.
1T is not polygamy, but polygamous plu-
rality that must be combated. We ac-
knowledge the constitutional right of Smoot
to seat in the Senate. but we oppose him
as one who openly upholds and counte-
nances polygamous practices. Senator
Knox says that there is no public sentiment
In Utah against polygamy. He must have
splendid regard for the principle of the
Christians there. who Know there are 500
harems In the state and IS in Salt Lake
City.
Your junior senator asks you to .ac-
quiesce' in conditions which. although Ie-
gally largely unassailable, are morally mon
strous and contrary to the teachings of
Christianity
I'm Salt Lake City there lives a Harvard
graduate who has five wives and fifty-three
children. Such things are done openly, and
yet we are asked to 'acquiesce' because we
have never been able to Jail the big Of
fenders.'
1t was resolved:
THAT the Presbyterian Ministerial Asso-
citation of Philadelphia express its profound
appreciation of the efforts of the Rev. DR..
Paden to save our country from this dis
grace Of retaining in the United States SEN
ate an apostle Of Mormonism, with its
blasphemy Of God and its defiance of the
laws of this country"
The Rev. DR.. William G.. Reagle, pastor
Of the Central Presbyterian Church, ad-
dressed the ministers ON "A Study Of the
Temptations Of Christ"

Steamer Encounters Ice,

The steamer Charles Manchester of the
Mt. Vernon and Marshall Hall line of this
city, which has recently been given a thor
ough overhauling and painting at a Balti-
more shipyard, started for this city Sunday
morning last. She made the run down the
Patapsco river to Seven Foot Knoll light,
but finding ice there in plenty, Captain
Turner determined not to take chances Of
cutting all the fresh paint off the bottom
of the hull, and he took the steamer back
to Baltimore to wait until she could find
clear water in which to return to this city.
The steamer. 1t is stated, will not return
to the Mt Vernon route until some time
about the middle Of March, so that her
owners are in no great hurry for her to re-
turn here. She will. It is expected. come
back to the Potomac some time in the lat
ter part Of this week or during the early
part of the coming week. AS has been
stated the Mac" in addition to the other
work done to her, has been fitted with new
boilers that are expected to give her suf-
ficient steam to make her unusually
speedy.

GUTHRIE. Okla. February 2s.-The con-
stitutional convention yesterday took away
the power Of the lieutenant governor to ap-
point the committees OF the senate. and
prescribed instead that the committees be
elected. Delegate Herring and President
Murphy nearly came to blows. Herring
accused Murphy of using his power arbi-
trarily and Of promising the appointment of
committees to procure his election. as presi-
dent of the convention.
President Murphy. leaving the chair to
reply, applied an epithet to Herring. Her
ring resented the remark. and personal
encounter was prevented only by the SER
geant-at-arms.
President Murphy's remarks were stricken
from the records.

Wreck of Schooner Purchased.

The wreck of the four-masted schooner
Cohassett, which was burned several weeks
ago in the fire that destroyed the coal piers
Of the Pennsylvania railroad at Locust
Point has been purchased by Captain Will
liam NJ. MARITIME, who will have the burned
vessel raised and taken to a Chesapeake
bay shipyard for repairs. The vessel is
loaded with soft coal, part Of which is
burned, but 1t is believed that more than
half the cargo can be saved. The coal will
be pumped from the vessel, and she will
then be brought to the surface and patched
up SO that she can be taken to a shipyard.
The upper works of the schooner are gone,
but 1t is believed that the lower part of her
hull is intact, and that she can be put in
thorough order again at comparatively
small expense compared to the value Of the
vessel when again ready for service.

REFORM BRITISH ARMY.
Secretary Haldane Lays Plan Before
Commons

LONDON, February 26.-The latest
scheme for the reorganization of the Brit
ish army was unfolded by War Secretary
Haldane in the house of commons yes
terday afternoon. 1t contemplates dividing
all the forces into two categories, a field
force and a territorial or home force. The
former, with a total of 16O, 900 officers and
men, is to consist of four cavalry brigades
and six infantry divisions, with full COM
plement Of horse and field artillery, all to
be Kept in complete state of organiza-
ton, ready for immediate mobilization on
the outbreak of war.
The territorial force, totaling 300,0 900 men,
will be a complete army in itself and as
nearly as possible of the same pattern as
the regular troops.
Mr.. Haldane's plan would unite all the
present auxiliary forces, yeQmanry, militia
and volunteers, with a complement Of regu-
lar artillery, into one homogeneous body,
all to be paid at service rates during the
time they are embodied or called out for
training. The territorial forces would be so
trained and organized as to enable their i'm
mediate mobilization simultaneously with
the field force. with the view of their sys-
tematic training for war, so as to be in
readiness within few months to support
the regulars and make good the deficiencies
in the fighting line.
Mr.. Haldane proposes the creation of a
special contingent of troops within the
territorial army consisting of $4,000 men,
who will engage to join the regulars on
their mobilization. These would be utilized
principally with ammunition columns, the
army service corps. railway work and
other semi-civiian duties now performed
by the highly trained and expensive regu-
lars. The present militia principle of the
county organization will govern the whole
home army organization, with the army
council in supreme control.
The war secretary said that under the
old system only about 100000 regulars
could be modified today, but he expected
that the new organization would furnish
a much more efficient and stronger force
and at the same time have the effect Of
saving in the estimates over $1O.OOO0OO.
