CONFESSION OF
CONVICTED MAN

Fittsburg, March 2.-(Special )-Capt
John Kline. the former member of the
council. who tomorrow will begin to
serve sentence of three and one
half years in the western penitentiarv
for grating, has made confession
which is said to implicate 50 former mem
hers of councils who accepted bribess in
sums ranging from So upwards. When
I<line's action became known there was
the greatest excitement among politi-
clans. 1t is reported that four of the
men implicated by Kline have made full
confessions, thus supporting Klines ac-
cussations.
AS a result of Kline's accusations Dis
trict Attorney Blakeley called the grand
jury together to hold special sessions
next Monday. Harrison Nesbit. former
United States bank examiner. now vice
president of the Bank of Pittsburg, Is
forman of the grand jury. 1t was through
the probing of Nesbit while bank exam
iner that President Jennings and Max
Leslie and Vice President Griffin, of
the Columbia National bank, were
Gently implicated In the graft proceedings.
Kline was to have begun serving his time
In the penitentiary early in the week. but
he begged District Attorney Blakeley
each day to defer the time of his incarcer-
alton, hoping to raise enough money to
keep his wife and two children while
he is serving the term. This he APP
parently failed to do, for this morning
he said:
Il have not friend left and do not
know what will become of my wife and
children while | am away
Robert Wilson, the Scranton detective
vile unearthed the councilmanic graft,
has been at work on Kline for the past
three weeks In an effort to get him to
''squeal." Kline refused all offers until
today, when he failed to get any promise
of SUPPORT for his family while he is
serving mis- term. Kline was closeted with
Detective Wilson at the Fort Pitt no.
tel nearly all day with County Detectives
Lutz and Finney watching to see that
they were not disturbed. A. Leo Well.
president of the Voters league, and four
former councilmen were seen to enter
the room occupied by Wilson and Kline
A stenographer took notes from kline's
testimony. all of which will be laid before
the grand jury next Monday. 1t is re-
ported that the four former councilmen
corroborated Kline's confession
1t is also expected that the confess
sion duplicates all but eight of Kline's
fellow members of councils.

TAPT'S MESSAGE TO
JEWS OF AMERICA

New York, March 2o.-(SpeciallA mes
sage from President Taft to the Jews of
America was printed Sunday morning
in the twenty-fifth anniversary issue of
the Jewish Daily News of this city.
The President publishes correspondence
with the Secretary of State showing the
efforts Of the administration to obtain
full recognition in Russia of American
passports granted Jewish citizens. Secre-
tary Knox, in reply to the Presidents
letter of inquiry, replies in part as fol-
lows:
1.-The question of obtaining from the
Russian government full recognition or
American passports without discrimna-
ton of the faith or race of the citizens
to whom they are lawfully given has
long absorbed the attention of this gov
ernment, and repeated efforts have been
made to induce the imperial authorities
to recede from or relax the rule by which
Jews bearing native American passports
are excluded from Russia, save. in ex-
ceptional instances of specially granted
permission
1.-THE late change in the organization
of the imperial administration on con-
stitutional bases has been accompanied
with measures looking to the material
amelioration of the restrictions to which
Jews have long been subjected In Russia
and among other measures announced II
an imperial commission to revise pass
port regulations.
so far no result in this direction has
been observed but the recognition of tho
principle involved in opening the ques-
tion of revision Is a hopeful Indication,
of which the American embassy has been
instructed to take all possible advan-
tage."
President Taft adds his personal greet
ings as follows
Your constituency is an intelligent.
Woodworking body of men, who appre-
ciate the opportunities or Tree govern
ment education at public expense and
equal opportunity. In general they make
excellent citizens and justify our policy
of hospitality to desirable emigrants.

Robert Emmet's wooing,' by e. C

Robert Emmets Woong,' by e. C..
Blum. (Cochrane Publishing Coz
This story takes up the happenings
to Robert Emmett. the Irish patriot,
at the age of rs years. Many people
In ireland at that time seemed to be-
lieve that the time was ripe for an
other revolt and urged Emmet-as we
all know--to assume the leadership.
Notwith standing the fact that he and
his family were in good standing So
ctal and financial and subject to none
of the evils complained of, Emmett
agreed, as history tells us, to lead the
movement. 1t is stated that when some
of Emmet's unruly followers resorted
to estimation he at once abandoned
his attempt but it was too late for
him to escape blame for what had oc-
CURED under his leadership. 1t is
stated, also, that many OF his COM
panions fled to the United states to
avoid prosecution and that Emmet
himself could undoubtedly have eff
fected his escape but for his desire TO
see the girl to whom he was betrothed
and explain his past actions to her
Emmet's trial and tragic end are mat
ters Of history; but the romance connected
with his life IL not SO well known.
The girl he loved, we are told, was Ea-
rah Curran, the daughter of John p
Curran, an eminent barrister and orator
He did not believe that Emmets revolt
was justified and strongly opposed any
intimate ties with him and finally COM
PEELED his daughter to leave her home
when he learned that she had plighted her
troth to Robert Emmett
This volume is the story of Robert
Emmets and Sarah Curran's love, Their
sacrifices. great constancy and persistency
