Mother and Child Stabbed In Bed.


One of the most brutal crimes ever
perpetrated in Schuylkill county was
committed at the home of Mrs. Kate
Ference, at Coaldale, near Pottsville,
Pa, She and her seven-year-old daugh-
ter were stabbed, beaten and left to
die. An infant child, which lay be-
tween them, apparently was not awak-
ened by the assailant, although it's
face and hands were covered with the
blood of the mother and sister.
Mrs. Ference kept boarding house
and had ten men living there. They
slept upstairs. while she and her two
daughters slept on the first floor. One
OF the boarders was awakened by
groans. With the assistance Of another
boarded he broke in the door and
there found the mother and daughter
lying unconscious on the bed.
Both had their faces beaten into an
unrecognizable condition, while the
mother had forty stab wounds on her
head and body. The daughter had been
stabbed about dozen times. Not a
scratch was found on the baby.
Mrs. Ference and the little girl were
removed to the Miners hospital at
Fountain Springs. When they regained
consciousness they refused to say who
assaulted them.

AFTER GREENES
 GOOD CASH
Well Known Men Are Alleged to
 Have Entered into Compact To Get His Money
Mrs. A. C. BuSteede On Stand Reluctantly Tells of the
 Conspiracy

According to a story told by Mrs. Anna C. Busteede, in a trial in Santa Cruz, Cal, few days ago with great reluctance, several well known men named entered into a compact W th Maor Mclaughlin to bring suit against Colonel w. c. Greene for $1O.- 000,0o0 in connection with the Cana nea mining property in Mexico. which Colonal Greene had acquired from a land and cattle company.
 Major Mclaughlin was to bring suit against the colonel. according to Mrs Busteede for 1000O.000 ailes ing that the ID neral right 10 the land had not passed to Colonel Greene and he was to compromise with the col onsl for $1,OOO,000. if the opportunity offered.
 The major was 10 receive S500,000 if the compromise was affected. and ,ay Lalf of this sum 10 Judge M. F Cleary. who was to handle the legai end Of the proceedings.
 Wben pressed upon cross exanina- liOn. Mrs. Busteede was exceedingly reluctant to bring in the names of the men mentioned and at one time stat ed that the major had not mentioned their names. The names were intro Guced into the proceedings when the witnesses mentioned that Major Nc Isughlin had an interest in the Can area property. Pressed for an an swer as 10 the nature of this interest she said:
 You had better ask Senator Per kins and D. NJ. O'Gorman-'
 "Who else can give us informa- tion?" asked the attorney.
 "Go to Senator Perkins. George Hatton, Governor Gillett, Judge Cut Ter. up in Eureka" said the witness. Mrs. Bueteede sad that the major had declared that Colonel Greene said the affair was a blackmailing scheme and that she and the major had laughed over the proposition of N. NJ. l I0'Gorman making such a contract with the major.
 Mrs. Busteede testified that after the San Francisco fire, Senator Per kins sent for the major, Governor lGnlett. Hatton and O'Gorman ana an other agreement was drawn UT whereby the major was to receive one-haIf of the amount obtained from i Greene.
 Colonel Greene, who is now at the | Alexandria in Los Angeles refused | 10 make any statement as to the charges or to discuss the matter in | any way.
 Senator Perkins. when asked Tn | Washington, D. C.. about the state ment of Mrs. Bustee de. said: T never heard Of Anna Bustecde in my life. never wrote letter tc | Major Mclaughlin. So far as ! car
 see. the story Is a fabrication out oi | whoIescloth.
 "It is fact that ten or fifteen years
 lgo-so long that have forgotten il | -i was in a company of which Rich i ard Gird of Los Angeles was presi | dent and we sold some lands to Col | Greene. never heard that there wal | any misunderstanding about it.
 ''Mr. Gird IS now n Los Angeles
 and perhaps he might enlighten yoI on the transaction. which was a sim i pie sale. as many other sales hay'
 been made. and will be made"

THE REAL FACTOR

The Washington Star keeps its eyes
on the political situation in Indiana
pretty closely. In commenting edito-
rally on the report in the Indianapolis
News that the democrats of the state
are beginning ito sit up and take no.
tice," the Washington Star opines that
they are reckoning without very i'm
portant host, in the person of Senator
Beveridge. 1t discounts the seeming
agitation of the liquor question and
thinks that the real subject which is
going to interest the people of Indi-
ana is the tariff-national questions.
When congress last spring took up
the tariff question the Indiana repub-
licans declared for pronounced down
ward revision. They had so interpret
ed the Chicago platform, and they
wanted that deliverance redeemed in
legislation that could not be challeng-
ed. Mr.. Beveridge in the senate stood
for this view. and expressed it in his
whole course while revision was in
progress. He did not like the attitude
VT the majority. and after vainly trying
to shape the Payne bill according &C
the wishes of his constituents he voted
against it.
Upon this record Mr.. Beveridge will
ask Endorsement. There seems nc
likelihood of opposition in his own
party, and the question will turn upon
the Payne law as measure represent
ing the national organization of the
party. Is it here that the democrats OF
the state are finding their hope? Dc
they believe that. notwithstanding Mr.
Beverages efforts to secure a revision
that would revise downward, the vot
ers of Indiana are so out of sympathy
with what was done last summer thai
they will embrace the first opportunity
to record themselves in favor of g
change of parties?
