PRITCHARD STATION, Ala, Sept

here today for an attempted assault
upon Mrs. u. Breeder, white woman.
Dossel was hanged to the same tree

masked and armed men sprang out on
all sides, commanding the deputies to
give up the prisoner. No protest was
made Dossel confessed the crime and
was Immediately hanged. One shot

ward E. Matthews, For-
mer Colleague

NEW YORK, Sept 22.-Edward e. Mat

bonnets, a badge of the society, two col
lection plates and an account book, which
the Rev. Mr.. Crosby said were valued at
So. The alleged burglary occurred Satur-
day, and when report of 1t was made
by Mr.. Crosby he told the police he sus-
pected Matthews and gave description
Of him. Detective Hoagland made the
arrest last night, and as Matthews was
unable to obtain bail he was locked up.
According to Mr.. Crosby the Helping
Hand association has been doing little
business lately, and the loss of the bon
nets and the badge, which were needed
by the societys collectors, has practically
put stop to the work He said Mat
thews had formerly been associated with
Hope Hall, in Flushing, and that about a
year ago he admitted him to membership

pense with his services. All the charges
made by Mr.. Crosby were denied by the

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
SOMEWHAT BRIGHTER
MORE CHEERFUL FEELING PER.
VADEs THE EAST,
Decline In Copper Stocks Met by Cur
y taIIment of Output, and Level
of Stability May Be
Reached Soon
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-A more cheerful
feeling over the financial outlook has
emerged through the clouds which re-
mained over the prospect as revealed IN
the movement of the stock market. These
clouds were for the most part over the
metal securities.
The price of copper has made further
decline and plans for radical curtailment
of output have been officially announced
by the great producers, The demand for
the metal at the reduced price has not
yet been emphatic but hopes are ex-
pressed that level of stability in the trade
is near and that with the output with
held 1t will develop and the market right
itself
Fears that similar experience awaited
the iron and steel trade have grown less
ditions In the two trades have been recog-
nized such as the less degree of imitation
which has occurred in the iron trade.
A feature of the money market, how
ever, is the unusually large offerings OF
mercantile paper and the continued high
rates This is the reflection OF the sus-
tanned activity in general trade as re-
ported to the mercantile agencies from
various parts of the country. The fact
Is revealed by the latest report of the
national banks to the comptroller Of the
currency 1t is characterized by much
drastic liquidation in the stock market.
Meantime there has been an increase in
cash holdings of the shorter period of
over S10,O 900 by the banks. Government
operations have conduced to the ca sier
conditions at present, the treasury stare
ment showing a growth in cash.

velope. 1t was written to Frank Cow
ington.
The other letter had no significance as
far as could be learned. The police have
, no theory as to the murder, though they
are inclined to the belief that the trunk

MOTHER SAVES BABE
FROM A FIERY DEATH
Heroic Woman Drags Herself from
Bed with Two-Days-OId Infant
In Her Arms-She
May Die

NEW YORK. Sept 2.-To save her
2-day-old baby from fire that started
last night in her apartments, Mrs.
Thomas Tormey OF 426 West Fifty-sixth
street arose from sick bed and. with
her child clasped to her bosom, fought
her way through choking clouds Of smoke
and Railways filled with flame to the
street, where she fell fainting. She may
die from her exertions.
The fire was started by one of Mrs.
Tormey's stepchildren, who upset lamp.
Neighbors rushed in and tried to stamp
out the blaze, but in few minutes the
entire apartment was aflame and the
building was threatened.
The cry of fire" caused panic among
the twenty families in the building. In
the mad scramble to escape Mrs. Tormey
was forgotten. The mother had been so
i'll that she could not leave her bed when
the first alarm of fire was given, but
when she found herself a-one with her
baby she summoned all her strength,
got out Of bed and crept to the hall.
Down two flights of stairs the mother
dragged herself with the baby in her
arms. When she reached the street she
became unconscious.

DISCUSS MOTIVE
FOR SENDING FLEET
CRUISE OF BATTLEsHIPs CAUSES
MUCH TALK
One Reason for Decision to Dispatch
Squadron May Be Found In
Report OF Captain w.
,...azs sssssss...s A. Jtidson
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--After all the
guessing and speculation is over as to
the motives which impelled the presi-
dent and a majority of the naval gem
eral board to order the battleship fleet
to the Pacific, the consensus of opinion
among officials here is what several
causes contributed to bring about that
decision.
A new factor, which army circles be-
lieve may have been one of the most
important in influencing this action Is
found in paragraph in a report by
Captain William A. Judson, corps of en-
gineers one of the military observers
with the Russian army in Manchuria
during the last war. The report has just
been published by the general staff and
doubtless it's contents were known to
the president.
In his report Captain Judson says:
'It Is interesting alsc to reflect upon
what would have occurred If at the out
break of the war the Russian feet in
the far east had been limited to few
protected cruisers. all battleships being
retained In home waters. 1t is quite evil
dent that in such case that by the
summer of 1905 fleet might have been
dispatched to the theater of operations
with sufficient strength to crush the Jap
anese beyond question of doubt. Indeed,
it cannot be believed that the Japanese
would have precipitated a war If the
Russian army and navy had been scat
tered to their liking. This is, to be sure,
naval question, but strategy is much
the same on land and on the sea, and
one is forced to wonder why we main
tain several battleships on the Asiatic
station"
