STABBED EIGHT TIMES

Politics Said to Be Behind Attack

NEW YORK. February a5.-Detedsives

five men who rode all over the West Side

Greenthal. and when they found him at
tackled him murderously, stabbing him
eight times and slashing his tongue.
Greenthal lowered between life and
death today and refused even to try to
talk when pressed in his conscious mo-
ments for the names of his assailants.
The fact that the mans tongue was near
ly cut out leads the police to believe he
had been talking too much to suit his
enemies.
Other circumstances are held to indicate
that the crime was a political one. and
the hunt for the criminals is proceeding
on this theory. Greenthal formerly took
All active interest in political matters and
got into trouble at a West Side polling
place last election day. That the motive
for attack was not robbery is shown by
the fact that $3.50 the man had in his
possession was not disturbed.
When the taXicab hunters found Green

on the sidewalk and stabbed him and left
him for dead they jumped in the autono-
bile and escaped. There have been no

FUNNY, SAYS HITCHCOCK,
OF SENATORSHIP STORY
That's About All of His Comment,
While Sidney Bieber Says Even
Less and Smiles.

II Postmaster General Frank III. Hitch
COCK has aspirations to represent Arizona
in the United States Senate, when that
state is admitted, he will not seriously
discuss them. Nor is he willing to ad-
NIT the fact.
recent story credits Hoval A. Smith
and James r. Williams, both connected
with the republican national committee
during the Taft campaign, with being be-
hind the movement to send Mr.. Hitchcock
to the Senate. Mr.. Williams is said to
be running newspaper at Tucson, Ariz..
and planning to get control of several
more, with the object of making the
Postmaster General a United States sena-
tor.
Rumor also has it that Sidney Bieber,
the District of Columbia national commit
teeman. will be the other senator from
Arizona when it is admitted.
Mr. Hitchcock is willing TO say the
story is funny. He knows nothing of the
Intentions on the part of newspaper
syndicate to make certain his chances,
concludes his comment.
Mr. Bieber also smiles and says moth
ing. although his friends have long been
predicting a senatorial career for him.

Increasing Power of CommissitA..

Representative Richardson of Alabama
member of the House committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, Yesterday
introduced bill for the regulation of in
terstate commerce which, so far, is the
only democratic measure to be offered In
opposition to the administration bill. Mr.
Richardson said that il represented only
his own views.
The principal feature of Mr.. Richard
sons bill is one proposing to lodge in
the interstate commerce commission the
power to ascertain the physical valuation
of all railroads and to base the rates
upon that. The bill favors general SUI
pervision of common carriers, but does
not provide for court of commerce or

MI. Richardson's Views.

Speaking of his bill. Mr.. Richardson
said he was not favorably disposed to the
great volume of legislation being urged
to take charge of the operative business
and management of common carriers of
the country.
Il believe all such legislation to a great
extent hampers and interferes materially
and injuriously with the interests of the
railroads., he said and ultimately with
the interests of the public. am OPP
posed to- government ownership, and u
just supervision of railroads is the best
guarantee against that.

Hampshire county, Virginia, in 1777.
BY virtue Of her fathers patriotic
service Mrs. Hill, his only surviving
child, is an honorary member of the
national society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. and she has
received the souvenir gold spoon of the
order.
After her birth the Lawson family
removed to Kentucky, whence Mrs.

first home of the family was in Angels
Camp, Calaveras county.
Mrs. Hill has nine grandchildren and
several great and great-great grand
children.
