WOMAN THREATENS
LIFE Of BANKER
Informs the Police She Will
Pump Lead Into
Him"

GREENWICH, Conn. Nov. 25.-FOl-
lowing the burning Of one Of the large
barns on COnyers Manor, the 1.500 acre
estate OF Fdmund G. Converse. the New
York fnzlcIer. Il has become known
that Mr. Converse has been the sub
ject OF threats BY a woman who de-
clares the banker has been trying 70
get her out Of the way so he might
purchase property adjoining his estate
which she declares she owns
This woman IS now SAID TO be living
az Norton Heights She is about thirty
years Of age and hands 1me- About
six months ago she began writing let
tiers 10 the Greenwich police. complain
ing Of Converse The property she re-
ferred to is said 10 be owned by another
person
A great many Of these letters were
received by the police. and last week,
il IS said. the woman made a personal
appeal 20 them 10 protect her, saying
Are you afraid Of lead? If you are
not then so and pump Converse duu OF
IL I'm tired OF waiting for you 10
act and III do Il myself
After the woman had gone away ths
threats were conveyed to Converse and
he sent Charles Brown one Of his en-
plOyeS. to whom she had also applied
for help against the banker, 70 see II
anything could be done for her Brown 5
visit was fruitiess and following II the
woman wrote several letters to Mrs
Converse Then Converse sent a physi-
clan to see her. but II was learned she
had not been seen in NOrOtOn since Sun
day.
If It had not been thatla friendly breeze
blew the sparks from the burning barn
ts the opposite direction, * Is probable
that the Converse home would have
caught fire. The loss was about SIC, 600.
The police are still investigating the
origin OF the ira which they believe was
caused by a ncendiary. The tracks Of
q Hight wzgOn were found close to the
barn. although none OF the Converse
carriages had been taken out OF the
barn recently.

ministrations while the Sugar Trust contin-
ued to plumber and rob.
Taking everything into considerations the
Sugar Trust has been about the most favored
by the Government of any of the Trusts
1t has been allowed to write the sugar
schedule for the last twenty years, and when
the dollars did not flow in fast enough to sat-
isfy it's greedy officials, the Government has
allowed them to 90 further and steal enough
of what little tariff it pays to further swell its
millions.
If by some chance it leaked out that the
Trust was getting too bold in it's methods, as
1T did few months ago, great racket is
made about the thorough probing that will
be made with the prosecutions to follow
But the last investigation amounted to lit
tie more than did the buried report of Messrs
Hepburn and Whitehead. The Government
started out with great noise about what was
going to be done, but that was as far as it
went
It is true that few minor officials we're
convicted of short weighing and sent to the
penitentiary, but that is all.
When the trail led from these little en-
ployees up near Brother Charles clients,
there was a sudden stop, and that is the last
heard of the investigation.
When it got to where Brother Charles
law partner for the Sugar Trust, Wicker
sham, had to act, the wisdom of the Trust
making one of its lawyers Attorney General
was shown.
Brother Bill blew off the dogs and ended
the hunt.
Not only did he do that, but he wilfully
violated the law and gave the Sugar Trust
control of thousands of acres of the best cane
growing lands in the Philippines for having
let Loeb go so far as to have the Sugar Trusts
methods investigated.
The way this Government has winked at
crimes committed by the big Trusts against
the bel pless people is enough to make Justice
hang her head in shame.
1t is enough to make an American feel like
apologizing when he hears the United States
spoken Of as Free country.
Some OF the men whom we permit to hold
public office and honor as great men, should
be driven out of decent society and into the
penitentiary.
ment whose duty it is to prosecute crimi-
nails, deserve to be prosecuted as criminals
themelves.
The House has appropriated the money for
two more battelships, at a cost of $6,0O0,0OO
each, so the administrations policy of in
creasing the navy will be carried out.
Despite the fact that p per cent. of our
Governments revenues are spent on account
of wars past and wars that we are planning
for the future, we see no tendency to call a
halt on the policy that will finally lead to
bankruptcy
Despite the fact that our geographical po-
sition counts more than the strongest navy of
any power in the world, we must continue to
pay the Steel Trust heavy tribute and send
powerful fleet around the world once a year

corruption that puts even Pennsylvania city
to shame has been unearthed City officials
and bankers are In the net by the wholesale,
and there seems to be no escape, except for
those who received the immunity bath by tell
ing.
The State printer of Ohio has been con-
victed for swindling the State on false bills.
The case against Secretary Ballinger and
the land thieves has been as strongly made as
the packed committee would allow it, and
Representative Ollie James promises interest
ing information about the New York bureau
that is fighting the income tax amendment
before the State Legislatures.
Let 'em keep whooping things up, il may
do some good.
President Taft has given the Democrats an
other splendid opportunity to reopen the fight
on the tariff by sending a special message to
Congress asking for $25O,OOO with which to
prosecute the work by the tariff board Gre
ated under the Aldrich-P Payne tariff act. This
board is supposed to be looking into the eff
feet of the tariff act, seeing what articles are
taxed too high, as we'll as those taxed too lit
tie. In other words, revising the tariff rates
and making such recommendations as will
tend to make the tariff uniform.
By the act of sending this special request
to Congress, the President admits that the
work needs to be carried on, and fatty contra
diets his own speeches that the present tariff
is the best ever enacted.
If it was the best ever, there has been no
need of the board doing any work, to say
nothing of spending $25O,OOO to have it con-
tinue its work.
The President is evidently beginning to see
what awful blunders he and his administra-
ton have made, and they hear the distant
rumble Of the coming storm
Representative Ollie James, of Kentucky,
created quite little stir in Congress the other
day by stating that he was satisfied that there
was an organized lobby fighting the income
tax amendment in every State Legislature.
Said Mr.. James: II am satisfied that there
is a combination, a bureau, or something of
that sort, organized and operated by group
of New York individuals and corporations
with the view Of fighting the income tax
amendment in every State of the Union.
ut was evident down in Kentucky that
there was a powerful organization working
against the ratification of the amendment by
four-fifths of the States The action of the
Virginia Legislature is also significant"
1t will be remembered that the amendment
had hard time getting through in Kentucky,
and Mr.. James had to leave Washington and
90 to Kentucky to help get the Legislature in
line
In Virginia, you will remember, the
amendment was defeated The reasons given
were that it brought up the feeling Of the
sixties, revived the feeling as to States Rights
etc.
Mr.. James knows what he is talking about
happening in Kentucky for he was there, and
he is pretty apt to be ight about Virginia.
1t is hard to say which statement casts more

taxpayers, to show Japan and China what a
power we were, and now a more expensive
cruise is to be made by our more powerful
fleet.
The way these Congressman can spend the
taxpayers money in furthering the interests
of such bankers as Morgan, and in feathering
the nests of the Steel Trust officials, is a
shame.
Leslie M. Shaw, the overzealous mouth
piece of Jingoism, has broken loose again
This time before the Commercial Travellers
Association.
Says Leslie:
Japan has five hundred and fifty merchant
ships in the water today, and one hundred more
in the process of construction while we have six
little bulls.
eve send sixteen battleships around the world
to scare people and hire twenty-five foreign ships
to haul coal for them
The surprising part about Leslie's state
ment is that the Morgan interests and the
Steel Trust allowed Leslie to speak at all.
The wonder is that they don't keep Leslie
permanently muzzled.
When he was allowed to speak before he
showed the Steel Trusts hand behind the in
crease in our navy so plainly that it came
near defeating the "two battleship" program
Now he bursts forth and admits that we
sent our fleet around the world to scare peo-
pie
To scare whom?
Japan and China
And before the feet got home, our consuls
were trying to force Japan and China to
grant j. P. Morgan and Company conces-
sions to build railroad.
Who are we to scare next time with our
more powerful fleet, Leslie?
What does Morgan want this time?
The Democrats and the Hearst forces have
held love feast, and Willie has returned to
the "House of his Fathers"
Amen
Again true reformers have had mill
stone loosened from their necks, and the
swimming is easier.
But poor Miss Democracy has burdened
herself with heavy load on hill-climb that
is steep and rocky
The Democratic party is perfectly welcome
to Hearst, his newspapers, Independence
League, printers devils and all, if they want
them
Any reform movement that is weighted
down with man who will trade with the
Democrats one time and the Republicans the
next; a man who will have Murphy car
TONED one time as wearing prison garb with
chain and shacl1le. and the next time accept
Murphy's nomination, and let Murphy be his
"Boss" that man doesn't do the reform
cause any good while living under her name
No, no person who favors reform will shed
any tears because Hearst has left the banner
of Independence. He never belonged under
such banner, and the people of New York
found it out and left him long ago.
The bride takers and the bride givers seem
to be having big inning in the courts these
days.
