TAR AND FEATHER MAN
PASSENGERS ON TRAIN SEE
SICHORT TIED TO POST.
After Being Freed He Tells Story
of Outrage Committed by
Members Of Gang.

MAYS LANDING, n. j., August IL
Strangely grotesque was the sight that
came suddenly before the eyes of the
passengers and crew of the early news
paper train as it was drawing near the
Mckee City station on the trip to At
lantic City yesterday.
Lashed with ropes to a tall post be-
side the track they saw a crazy figure,
hardly human in its appearance, save
that the face was that of man. The
remainder of his body was coated from
heels to neck with tar and feathers
Even the hair of the mans head and
his beard had been stuck with tar and
cluttered with feathers.
The man was attempting to shout for
help above the rumble of the train, but
his voice was so weak as to be maud
ible The conductor, having observed the
predcament of the man, stopped the
train and summoned others of the crew
They used one of the trains axes IN
severing the stou: bonds that held the
man to the post. On being released ne
could hardly stand.
Attacked by "Terrible Ten"
The man said he had suffered the
outrage at the hands of band known
as '"rhe Terrible Ten" who drove him
away from the widow Schroell's farm
at Cardiff, vllege in the heart of the
Jersey pine belt He said his name was
Frank Sichort and that he was fifty
wears old For some time he had been
employed by the widow and each day
drove a wagon load of truck to the At
lantic City market. The widow Schroeli
made a comfortable income from her
farm. said Sichort. She has nine chill
dren. The eldest daughter is married.
Sichort said he was threatened, out went
about his duties as usual.
Then. he says, 1.-The Terrible Ten" held
a secret session, and decided he should
be tarred and feathered. Sichort went
to the widows farm before daybreak,
loaded a wagon with produce. and began
the daily drive to Atlantic City.
Lashed to Post.
IA lonely spot on the road 1.-The Ter
rible Ten stopped the wagon and over
powered Sichort. At the side of the road
they had fire already started and were
heating tar. They had several pillows of
feathers. also. They tied his hands and
le<l him to the tall post beside the railroad
tracks. dashed him to it. put on the coat
of tar. and plastered feathers on until the
mans body, except his eyes and nose,
was completely covered. He was at
tackled by a horde of mosquitoes, and his
face, ears and neck were mercilessly bit
ten.
He was able to get to his home unas-
sisted from the train, but found himself
unable to remove the tar and feathers.
EXPOSURE had weakened him, and the
bites of the insects brought on fever.
He took a train later for the Atlantic
City Hospital. where he underwent a
painful and tedious operation for the re-
moyal of the tar and feathers.
Sichort swore out warrants for the ar
rest of the members of 1.-The Terrible
Ten gang before Magistrate Jagmetty
in the afternoon.

Theory and Practice.

The difficulties experienced by the members of the majority in the con stitutional convention in knowing their own minds from day-to day do not precisely square with the theory that the people can leave their work for a few minutes on election day. and in the voting booth. with a ''wagonbed ballot before them, pass upon the merits of a bunch of initiated" laws.
 It ought to bt, easy to write con- stitution in harmony with the prin- ciples of the constitution of the Unit ed States. The members of the con- vention can turn to the constitutions of many progressive states which have framed constitutions in late years to meet modern conditions. and there is no trouble in sscertaining how these constitutions have satisfied the people living under them. Moreover. these several constitutions are in harmony. Two or three intelligent men. with all tft dNdlldDlt BtlbIt phBht to be able to frame an acceptable con- stitution for Arizona within three days, at most It is not work in an untrodden field; on the contrary, the roads and furroWs are plainly marked by the other states.
 But the members of the convention. presumably average representatives of the people, are unable to pass readily upon familiar features of a constitu- ton. How much more difficult. then, will it be for the masses of the voters to legislate satisfactorily for them selves upon numerous and new ques- tions presented to them in the form of a monstrous ballot on election day? But this is the oregon plan" which Arizona is to adopt.

A Kinetoscope Convention.

Saws the Bisoee Review of the pro posed apportionment:
 The other day the Review pub lished a short editorial paragraph based upon the supposition that the legislative appOrtionment adopted by the constitutional convention was fixed with the census of this year as a guide. It was taken for granted that no other basis would be considered by the convention, and the error of the Review is only another reminder that nothing should be taken for granted with reference to actions of the con- vention. The vote cast in the general election of 1908 was actually used as a basis, and naturally there is great dissatisfaction over the territory. Maricopa county certainly has a just grievance.
 It would be necessary for one to he perched upon a spinwheel, in order to follow accurately the work of the convention. It s positively for a given proposition today, violently opposed to the same proposition tomorrow. and for it once more. day after tomorrow. It would be both unjust and mislead- ing. therefore, for any newspaper to predict what will come out of the wash" in the shape of a complete con- stitution.
 It is significant that the press of the territory. irrespective of party. is almost unanimous in expressing dis satisfaction with the proceedings of the conventior-significan because the newspapers in general express public opinion--but this fact seems to have been overlooked, so far, by the controlling element of the convention. The gentlemen in control have fool ishly assumed that, because they were elected, the people would approve their work regardless.
 The people, and the newspapers. speaking for the people. want state hood. and for this reason a cOnstitu- ton that is halfway decent will re- ceive approval in Arizona. But it is more than possible for the convention to exhaust the fOrbearance of the pub lie. The people have prospered under the territorial form of government they are almost ready tO reconcile themselves to an indefinite prolonga- ton of the territorial system. and the  convention can, if it tries. frame a constitution that will meet rejection here at home.
 Another week or so will tell the story.

The Parker Excursion.

Commendable on every considera- tion. is the projected excursion of Phoenix business men over the new railroad to Parker The vim and en- thusiasm already manifested assure Ihe success of the excursion.
 It is a project to get acquainted' with the people living at Wickenburg. Wenden, Salome. Vicksburg, Bouse. Parker and of all the rich and grow ing country that has been brought into commercial touch with Phoenix by the new railway.
 Phoenix is the logical trading point for the people of that entire country. A large trade with the towns men, tioned has been established already. and it is constantly growing larger. in both wholesale and retail lines. The storekeepers of all the towns on the Arizona & California have learned that it is to their advantage to trade with Phoenix houses. and that they t.iU get lnt pest ACCOMMODATIONS lIoul the Phoenix banks. The people living along the line have learned that, by reading the advertisements in the Phoenix papers and making mail or ders, they can have prompt and very satisfactory supplies of such of their wants as their local stores cannot furnish.
 The get acquainted" excursion. therefore. is really for the purpose of getting better acquainted. IL will serve the excellent purpose of bringing the people of western Arizona into still closer touch with the commercial me tropolis of the territory and the in- comparable Salt River valley.
 Tine excursion will leave Phoenix next Monday night, and it will be a delight for everybody that goes. for d generous welcome from all the towns is assured

Finances and Markets

New York. Nov. 3O.-Prices broke with some violence in today's stock market, the active list registering losses that ranged from to 2% points. No explanation attended the decline other than the rather vague bullish belief that the recent bull movement had gone stale from lack of outside encouragement. By way of supplementary Iumor. it was thought in many quarters that some open re- adjustment in steel and iron prices would soon be announced.
 Apropos of general financial condi- tions, it is interesting to note that the months output of new securities aggregated $111,0OO. 900, or more than S47. .000.O 900 in excess of November. 1909 Local banking institutions have sent from five to six million dollars so far this week to Canada and San Francisco. and banks in Boston and Philadelphia were today drawing on this reserve here.

The Matter of Representation.

When citizens, in talking with mem bers of the constitutional convention, protest against this or that proposi- Jion of obviously doubtful good, they meet response from some of the delegates to the effect: "I don't like it myself, but I was instructed for it.'
 Delegates who thus follow a course contrary to their own judgment are not very thoughtful. They do not take into consideration the whimsical nature of instructions" framed in county conventions, and they overlook entirely the fact that there Is in any case a great minority that is entitled to representation
 Everybody knows Tow county con- VentiOns are conducted. The whole proceedings do not occupy more than two or three hours. Amid the hurly burly a platform" is adopted which is supposed by the authors of it to be a vote catcher. The delegates do not tdic pditiSuidilN Nidb the pidlAoiHl says.
 In the campaign and election the voters pay more or less attention to the platform; usually but one or two blanks are made real issues"
 And even when issues are clearly drawn. it would puzzle any discerning and fair-minded person to draw cor rect conclusions from the election re- turns. Some candidates on a ticket are seen to be elected and other can didates. standing on the same plat form. are defeated.
 Take Yavapai county in the late campaign. as a concrete example Ger tain democratic candidatesv-supposedly standing for a certain set of prin- ciples. were elected. Judge Wells, re- publican, running on a platform dia- metricaIIp opposed to the platform on which the lucky democrats won, was also elected. Who. then. is to say just what the people of Yavapai want this convention to do?
 And in other counties. as well as in Yavapai. the vote for the successful candidates varied greatly.
 And back of all this is the propo- sition that relatively small number of votes in the territory, properly dis tributed, would have elected repub-  lican convention.
 Along with these facts is the further and very important truth that the people themselves-or, at least, a con siderable number of them. and suf- ficient in number to change election results-change their minds from time to time.
 From all of which there is but one safe conclusion to be drawn. Every delegate should act with the best i'm

science. and be brave enough to justi- fy himself to the people.
 The people of Arizona will overlook many things, if satisfied that their did the best they knew how. and from steadfastly conscien- tious motives. They can even tolerate an honest dynamiter," if they know him to be honest
