MONEY OF MURDERED
PAYMASTER IS FOUND
Men in the Backyard Sus-

of Professionals,

HUDSON. N. Y. September 5.--All the
money which was being carried by
Denton Fowler. third. the paymaster OF
the Atlas Brick Company. when he
was shot Saturday with George Rags
dale. his colored driver. was discovered
yesterday. 1t was still in the satchel
in which he had placed 1t. and the S.
600 was still in the pay envelopes.
Apparently the satchel had not been
tempered with in any way. and the
masked highwaymen had been content
to carry 1t a little way toward the
and branches OF trees. where they
could come for 1t at some more con-
venient time.
Not Work Of Professionals.
This has convinced the police that
the hold-up and murders were not the
work OF professionals. They believe
that some OF the brickyard hands are
guilty and they are now working on
this theory.
They had full information as to Fow-
ier's movements and knew exactly
letter has also been found In tho
bushes where the murderers were con-
cealed. 1t is written in Italian and has
been torn into small scraps. The en-
have been able to piece It together
and to decipher the name Of the man
to whom IL was addressed.
He is an Italian employed at the
brickyards. and Is still here. He can
be arrested at any time and the police
are keeping a close watch over him.
The letter was water soaked, and as
soon as 1t has been dried out an at
tempt will be made to read and trans
late its contents.

mask, a rife and two revolvers have been

thing else ,convinces the authorities that
the highwaymen and murderers are men
not familiar with the methods of crimi-
nails.
Police on the Watch.
Detectives Bender and Brooks OF the
Pinkerton force and the regular police
are convinced that the highwaymen have
not yet left the neighborhood. Chief OF
Police Lane and Sheriff Payne stated
yesterday that In a short time they will
| have enough evidence to arrest the right
| carefully all trains and boats. and every
/ road leading from this place Is under
strict surveillance, SO that no one can get
1 away unseen.
/ Senator John Rose Of Newburg came
here yesterday and Is sparing no expense
y to aid the local authorities in the search.
i He arrived with the family Of Fowler,

suffering Sulich was taken to a place
where his burns and bruises. could be
attended, accompanied by interested small
boys bearing what was left OF his shirt.
The fire. which had gained some head

and the guests at the party. when the
situation was made clear to them. for
warded handsome apologies to Sulich. He

Strikes Sometimes Necessary.

Strikes are sometimes necessary and
proper: sometimes they represent the
only way in which. after all other meth
DDS have been exhausted, II is possible
for the laboring man to stand for his
rights: but It must be clearly understood
that a strike Is a matter OF last resort
And. OF course. violence, lawlessness and
mob rule must be promptly and sterniy
dealt with. no matter what the cause may
be that excites them.
Our ideal should be rate OF wages
sufficiently high to enable workmen to
live in a manner conformable TO Ameri-
can ideals and standards. to educate their
children and to provide for sickness and
old age; the abolition OF child labor
safety-device legislation to prevent indus
trial accidents. and automatic compensa-
ton for losses caused by these industrial
accidents"
