WHITNEY REPLIES TO WILLIAMS.
Desire for Tariff Revision and Reciprocity
with Canada Cause of His Candidacy

Boston, Sept. 1.-The announcement made by
ex-Congressman George Fred Williams yester-
day that he is opposed to the nomination OF
Henry NJ. Whitney the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Massachusetts. and that he viii
work against his election if he receives the
nomination. was followed tonight by reply
from Mr.. Whitney. The reply says in effect that
My Whitney's candidacy has been actively
prosecuted since last May, and that the recent
a absence of Mr Williams IL Europe has placed
him out of touch with the present situation
Mr.. Whitney says further that the. only pur-
pose of his candidacy is TO advance the cause or
tariff revision and reciprocity with Canada. In
discussing the proposed merger of the New
York New Haven q Hartford and Boston &
Maine railroads. reference to which was made
by Mr.. Williams, Mr. Whitney says his candi-
dacv has no relation to this matter, except that
as a business man he believes that such
merger if lawful under federal law, and If made
under proper safeguards. would be a good thing
for the business interests and for the people Of
this state. This personal opinion of mine do
not seek TO impose on the Democratic party or
10 have embodied in its platform. l do not see
what relation it has 10 the political situation.

ALMOST KILLS FATHER TO GET $50
Mob Near Pittsburg Tries to Lynch Boy and
Gets Rope Around His Neck.
TBy Telegraph 70 The Trfh,,na


Pittsburg. Sept John Drow, twenty years
old, Of Gallatin a suburb of this city. coveted
$50 in cash which his aged father, sixty years
old, possessed. Because the old man would not
give him the money young Drow. who had been
drinking, last evening beat him with a pick
handle until he was insensbIe, took the money
and started to escape.
1t was only through the quick wit of Consta-
BILE Samuel Hobaugh that young Drow was not
lynched by an infuriated mob of two hundred
people. As it was he was beaten insensible
and several times the rope which was placed
about his neck a dozen times choked him until
he was black in the face. Samuel Drow, the
father, is highly respected resident of the lit
tie village.
The sound of the blows and the old mans
screams aroused the neighborhood and soon
crowd of two hundred people formed. When
the condition of the old man was discovered the
mob charged young Drow. A rope Sc
cured and he was being hanged to a telegraph
pole when Constable Hcbaugh arrived. The Of
fcer took Drow away from the mob, but again
the citizens charged him. Before Hobaugh
could get Drow again the mob had kicked him
into insensbility
After a desperate battle HObaugh again
cured possession of Drow, placed him on a
streetcar, with the assistance Of the motornan
and conductor, and hurried him 10 this city
where he was lodged in Jail. Drow is in a seri-
Gus condition from the injuries inflicted by the
mob while his father is in a serious condition
from injuries inflicted by his SON

sTILLINGs NOT TO BE DISTURBED
President Roosevelt Has No Intention of Dis
placing the Public Printer.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 1.-Recent published rumors
that Public Printer Stillings had displeased the
President and was to be supplanted was the oc-
casion for the issuance to-day of a statement
complimentary to Mr.. Stillings by Secretary
Loeb, as follows:
The President has not the fairtest idea of
diSplacing Mr.. StillingS. 1t follows as a matter
of course that in bringing order out of the utter
chaos that had existed in the Government
Printing Office q certain amountof i'll feeling
would be aroused on the part of the disgruntled
employees.
The President feels that Mr.. Stillings has dis
charged his duties with courage, efficiency and
honesty, and that he has now put the office
a thoroughly businesslike and economical basis.
Instead of being criticised, Mr.. Stillings is
titled to great credit for what he has accom-
plished and he continues to have the Presidents
