A Keynote Speech BY Senator Silzer.
A~conference of about 200 Democrats
from different parts Of the State was
held in Trenton on December 18th, to
plan for the election Of . Democratic
Governor next year. No booms were
sprung but a probable platform was
discussed and win BE- considered at 3
lates date.
AT the banquet that followed there
were speeches by Congressman Hughes,
Senator Silzer, Frank S, Katzenbach
and James E. MARITIME. We believe all
our readers will enjoy and appreciate
1.-THE force of Senator Sitzer's speech.

SEVERELY PUNISHED.
Four Marines Sent to Prison for
Taking Beer.

On April 8 B. H. Hayes, chief
constable for Beaufort county, seized
two barrels of beer while in transit,
consigned to Thomas Eaton, OF Paris
Island. His place Of business is just
outside of the Government reserva-
ton. This man, and others near
the same locality, are alleged to have
caused considerable trouble to the
county constables.
Thomas Eaton, hearing of this,
furnished, it is said, a gun to four
United States marines, telling them
they could have as much of the beer
as they could drink if they would
rescue the beer from Hayes, which
they did at the point of a double
barreled shotgun. They then opened
the beer on the bank Of the river
and proceeded to enjoy themselves.
Col. Cole, who is in command at
the United States School of 1nstruc-
ton, being informed of the affair,
had the men arrested and tried by
court-martial. They were convict
ed and sentenced to serve three
wears and one month in a Govern
ment prison They will be sent to
Portsmouth in few days to COM
mence serving the sentence. Thomas
Eaton is now under indictment, and
will be tried by the State.

WHERE OUR PEOPLE LIVE.
Thirteen States Hold One-Third Of
the Population.

Of the SS,00O,0O0 people in the
United States, Alaska included, about
one-third live in the 13 original
States, according to a report by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor.
Another third live in the States Gre
ated from the territory ceded to the
common union by the original States
and the remaining third in the area
added by purchase or annexation.
While large share Of the terri
tory in the United States has come
under cultivation or individual own
ership, the figures show that in 1908
there were 754,S95,000 acres of un-
appropriated and unreserved land,
of which almost one-half was in
Alaska, 61,i77,00O acres in Nevada;
46,532, 900 in Montana; 44,71s,000
in New Mexico, and 100000 in
New Mexico, and 42,7O9,00O in Ari-
zona.
Of swamp and overflow lands there
are about 75,000,000 acres in the
country, of which 1S,5OO,000 acres
are in Florida, Louisiana coming
next with about half that amount.
The total number of immigrants
into the country since 1920, the year
of earliest record, exceeds 10000 |
900. In 1905, 1906 and 1907 the
averaged more than 1,000,-

DECORATE SUICIDES, GRAVES.
Program of Committee for Relief of
Unemployed.

The graves of suicides in the Gem
eteries about New York city will be
decorated on Memorial Day, May
81, by the New York branch Of the
national committee for the relief
of the unemployed, according to reso-
lutions adopted at meeting at New
York.
J. Eads How, of st. Louis, presi-
dent of the organization, introduced
the resolution, saying that to deco
rate the graves of those who had
died by their own hands as result
of failure to obtain employment OF Of
hardships created by the industrial
depression would do much to bring
to the attention Of those responsible
the conditions of the unemployed.
1t was also planned to have pa
rade as rival to that of the Grand
Army Republic, and to go to the Gem
etery at the same time, but with the
flowers they proposed to place on
the grave of each suicide banner
or placard calling attention to the
resolution of the association.

PRISONER BURNED TO DEATH.
Guardhouse at Branchyille Destroy
ed by Fire.

a dispatch from Branchville to
the Columbia Record says one of
the saddest deaths that has ever
occurred in the town of Branchville
happened there on Sunday morning,
the 18th, at about 2 o'clock a. M,
when West Singleton, a colored man
of about the age of 80 years, was
burned to death in the town guard
house.
Singleton was under the influence
Of whiskey and was arrested on the
street for being drunk and disor-
derly. The arrest was made by the
regular town policeman, who COM
mitred the negro to the guard house,
because he could not furnish bond.
Nothing further was known OF
the matter until the alarm of fire
was given. Nearly every man in
turned out to the fire,
but it was too late to render any
assistance to the poor dying negro.
who expired in a few minutes. The
guard house was wooden structure
and was completely destroyed.

DESTROY FLEET
STARTING INVENTION TO PRO
TECT GERMAN COAST.
To Erect Great Electric Magnets to
Draw Encmy's Vessels Within
Reach of Forts.

4 dispatch from Berlin, Germany,
says a startling novel invention Ior
The protection of the German coast,
harbors and seaports, is receiving
the serious attention OF the German
naval authorities.
\ German naval engineer, named
Holman, applied to the German
patent office for a provisional patent
for an invention which is intended
10 DESTROY any hostile feet attempt
ing to blockade or attack German
ports.
According to the inventor, stations
must be erected along the coast ana
at the mouths of rivers, which Will
be equipped with the strongest elec-
trio magnets that can be manu1ac-
tured.
When these are in action 1t IS
claimed that they would exer 'se SUIT
fcient attractive force to make IRON
clads and other protected vessels
deyiate from their course. THESE
magnet stations are to situated
where shallow and deep water al
ternate.
The hostile ships would be drawn
into the shallow water where they
would ground and lie helpless at tne
mercy Of the guns Of the forts.
Although the invention smacks
strongly Of romance, yet IS note
worthy that competent authorities
deem it of sufficient Importance &c
be subjected to thorough exan1na'
ton.
In this connection, it may be ad'
ded that electric cranes capable o!
lifting weights of five tons by mag
netism are already in use at German

KILLED her father
MOTHER MAKES ACCUSATION
AGAINST HER DAUGHTER.
The Police Believe That Louise Ar
bogast is Guilty Of Murder and
Thinks She is Crazy.


The authorities in st. Paul, Mimi,
have the slayer of Louis Arbogast
in the hospital ward of the County
Jail, but they are uncertain whether
mother or daughter did the actual
killing. Louise, 23 years Of age,
tearlsse, refuses to talk. The mother,
Mrs. Minnie Arbogast, escaped
direct accusation because the police
were able to establish circusstantial
evideice that makes it impossible
to prove the charge. She escaped
formal accusation because the police
forced her to accuse someone else
in self-defense. She accused Louise.
The body of Louis Arbogast was
found in his bed, last week. The
head had been crushed with an axe
and gasoline was used in an effort
to destroy the remains. When the
accusing officers got the daughter
and mother together in the moth
er's cell the girl withstood the bat
terry Of searching eyes and maintain
ed her absolute innocence. Finally
the mother, in an outburst of des-
perate appeal, cried:
Louise, it is either you or me.
Tell the truth, tell the truth. You
were outside fathers door when I
came from the bathroom. You must
tell the truth.
The girl was silent. The mother
persisted. She almost shouted,
You say you didn't DO 1t, but I
know you did"
But Louise professed to remember
nothing and stared straight ahead
in silence until the terrific strain
was broken by their sob and the two
embraced, weeping bitterly, the girl
kneeling by her mothers bedside.
The girl was arraigned in court
and listened to the reading Of the
charge. She said she needed no at
torney. A plea Of not guilty was
entered, and the prisoner taken to
jail, the case being continued till
Thursday.
It is declared at St. Luke's
hospital that Miss Arbogast, who is
one of the most beautiful young wo'
men of Minnesota is irresponsible
and killed her father in a moment
of demoniacial frenzy, caused by
hallucinations which have fol
months been pursuing her.
"She is plainly irresponsible.
Chief of Police O'Connor said:
According to hospital reports an6

is insane and was not responsible
for her action

But Only a Peach Basket Hat Float

The useless bravery Of Michael
Conlin, of West One Hundred and
Thirty-eighth street, nearly cost him
his life. From the Madison avenue
bridge over the Harlem river he saw
a peach basket hat floating down
the stream and believing there was
a woman under it, he valiantly leap
ed overheard and swan to the hat
only to find it untenanted. But his
shoes and other clothing were so
heavy that he was unable to reach
dock unassisted and had gone
down several times when he was
rescued by the police. He was sent
to the Harlem hospital, where it was
said that he had been almost
drowned.
