PARKER STILL EXPOSING RoosE'
yELT's METHODS.

Mr.. Roosevelt has been making
mighty TO do In New York over cir
cular sent out by the Tammany
finance committee asking for cam
paign contributions. Among the sign
ers OF the Pc ition were certain men
said TO be more or less prominent In
Wall street, and this was made the
excuse for repeated declarations 10
The effect that the Democratic party
In New York had entered into COM
bine with wall street to bring about
the defeat of the Republican state
ticket headed by Mr.. Roosevelt's can
didate. Stimson. This charge has been
made over and over again by MT.
Roosevelt, with no evidence TO sup
mort 1t except the circular referred to.
Now comes Judge Alton B. Parker
with a circular soliciting campaign
funds issued by the Republican State
committee. This circular Is similar
to the one issued by the Democrats.
both OF them ask for campaign funds.
without naming any limit. And 1t is
noted that while the Democratic doc
ument is signed by several compare
tivelv insignificant wall street figures
that OF the Republican committee has
the signatures OF such magnates oil
the street as Cornelius Vanderbilt
Otto T. BARNARD. Ogden Mills. Corne'
Illus n. Bliss and others Of the same
class.
AS Judge Parker says. nothing Is to
be gained by criticising the efforts oil
the men mentioned to aid the Repuo-
ijtau party but the reading OF the Re
3,bllcsn circular shows very slearly
u absurdity and 4dRfairness-of Nj.
R6csdvelt's accusation. e -, o.
t,During this New York campaign
Judge Parker has been paying. Mr.
Roosevelt in full for what happened In
1904. Following the trail of the siren
nous colonel, the. judge has exposed
and held. up for contempt the cheap
ward-heeler political methods OF this
former President of the United states
He has fayed Mr.. Roosevelt VITA
facts. while the latter has persistentiy
attempted to swamp the Democratic
nominee with misrepresentation. And
the colonel has made his own cast
worse by refusing to retrsct or apollo
zize even when he was shown and tbs
public was shown that he had beer
caught in fslsehoods, deliberate OF
Otherwise.
When Dix defeats Stimson. as il Il
now generally believed he will do. W.

Her condition was such yesterday that
she was unable TO see friends and she is
almost ineonsolabie in her sorrow.
George Fassell had known Bessie
WOrthen since early schoolday life and
it had been his one desire to be happily
married to her. He had often confided
TO his promised bride his success as
q oceryman and in Miss Worthen he had
found much valuable advice for affairs
leading to a successful business life. She
had often told him that ne was destined
10 become a merchant prince, and she
yearned for the day when she could look
up TO him as her husband.
Fassell and Miss WOrthen had for years
worshiped together in Phillips Congrega-
tional church, where they were to have
been married about the middle of April
by the pastor, Rev. p. A. SnlplSin. They
had even begun to consider the issuance
of wedding invitations and were both joy
fully looking ahead TO the glorious event.
Even the wedding gown had been talked
of by Miss Worthen.
Throughout his association with Phil
lips Congregational church Fassen was
ment of the church. He was known as
one of the most capable financiers of the
Sunday school and had been member of
the financial board
Miss Worthen's parents manifested deep
feeling in talking Of the tragedy. They
spoke OF Mr.. F'asseIl as being most ex-
emplary young man.
Fianeee Hears of Tragedy.

company with my daughter" said Mr.
Worthen. he proved himself a man

ter's trust He was at all times well

all who knew him. feel that it is
terrible thing that ne should have been
shot down in the flower Of his man
hood"
Mr. Fassel spent the evening at the
Worthen home Friday. and had an en-
gagement TO spend Sunday with his
fiancee. They had made their plans for
a happy Easter Sunday together Miss
Worthen had told him of her gown and
Easter hat and she was to have sur
prised and dazzled him with their beauty

as well as many other Republican lead
ers. Vigorous assaults upon the measure
have been made by Senator's Cummins
and Clapp. and it Is known they will
have the support Of many other insur-
gent Republicans as well as of many
Democrats.
That the coalition of insurgeut Repub-
icans and Democrats is formidable is
admitted By friends Of the bill and they
are now giving their attention to the for
mutation Of amendments which they hope
viii harmonic some of the differences.
Mr. WiCkarsham has met with the friends
OF the bill on several occasions. and has
given them his assistance in framing
amendments.
At one time II was planned 70 have
these amendments drafted and presented
BY Chairman Eilzins. That plan has been
abandoned ana It is now expected the
amendments viii be parcelled out among
other senators, 50 q number may share
the credit OF making the new law This
scheme even includes the acceptance OF
one or two Of the amendments favored
by insurgents.

given by the Senate to the attitude of the

An autopsy today showed that Ruth

chimney. Why the cuts were made on

he is but II years of age, con-
fessed to the murder of Grocer
George w. Fassell before Chief
of Police S. M. Barlow and
members of the police and de-
tective departments early yes
terday morning.
His confession was volun-
tary.
1t was seemingly told with
the frankness of a schoolboy
reciting a prank to his school
master.
When he had finished his
confession, Thorne fell back
into his chair as though ex-
hausted from the terrible night
of remorse behind heavy steel
bars of the city jail.
He closed his eyes and swal-
lowed a great lump which
might have developed into a
burst Of tears had he not
checked himself.
Chief Barlow tried to COM
fort the boy by explaining to
him that he had done the prop
er thing in confessing.
The lad seemed relieved,
and later moved about in his
cell with easier stride and less
depression.
In the confession OF Thorne it developed
that he was accompanied to the FasseI
grocery by James Hayes and another man
named "CurleL with whom he had new
er become intimately acquainted. ThOrne
SAYS tnat Curley was a member of fhe
gang with which he had recently become
