The Evil of Vote Selling.

A country lawyer of courage and
Sagacity, serving as a local judge in
southeastern Ohio, is now setting
this country an example in methods
OF political reform that will give his
name an enduring place i'll the
annals OF our great American ex-
pertinent of self government. By
many different means, some of
them bold and fragrant, others
stealthy and indirect, the use OF
money has tainted the purity and
honor of our politics But of all
these forms of corruption, the one
most to be deplored is the poisoning
of the spring of popular government
at its very source.
The habitual and wholesale brib-
cry Of voters not only makes the
rule of the majority a laughing
stock and a farce, but it destroys
the dignity and Seif-respect of COM

TAKE 1920 OFF STEAMER
Passengers on Stranded Princess Irene
Are Transferred to Sister Ship
Without Accident.

New York.-All of the 1,485 steer
age and 235 cabin passengers on board
the North German Lloyd steamship
Princess Irene, fast aground in the sand
off Fire island, were Friday trans
ferred to her. sister ship, the Prinz
Frederic Wilhelm, which brought them
safely to this city.
The transfer was effected without
incident, accident or panic.
The crew of 800 officers and men
will remain on board until the Princess
Irene is either floated or broken up
by the heavy seas
All efforts to float the great liner
in her present condition have been
abandoned. The tug captains engaged
in the work have pronounced it impos-
sible to bulge her until her cargo is
transferred This, It is declared, will
require a week of hard work. Light
ers have been ordered from this city
and the work of tightening the great
steamship will be begun at once
The life-savers along the shore de-
clare that severe storm at any time
during the week will accomplish the
destruction of the Princess Irene. She
is in such a position that she could
not withstand the bombardment of
heavy seas.

WOMAN AT HEAD OF REBELS
Band of Several Hundred Is Lead by
Daughter of General
Canuto Neri.

Mexico City.-According to the Ell
Heraldo the daughter of Gen. Canuto
Neri of Guerrero, once a rebel him
self, is at the head Of band Of sew
era1 hundred insurrectos.
LA Neri" organized her force of
insurrectos in Guerrero, her native
state, but during the first days Of this
week she and her followers rode
across the boundary into the state of
Morelos. The war loving young
woman has not yet engaged in battle,
but has contented herself with riding
from ranch to ranch and enlisting re-
cruits. In this she is said to have
been remarkably successful.
$ Ignorant of the character Of the
measures the government may be ia
king to effect an agreement of peace
with the rebels, unofficial Mexico was
inclined to be bit more pessimistic
regarding the immediate future.
At none OF the government Offices
was it possible to obtain any state
ment that would indicate that definite
progress towards a cessation of hos
tilities had been made, although it
frequently was denied that peace is
an impossibility, and in one or two
quarters it was limited that it was a
probability.
News that Francisco I. Madero had
moved his headquarters to San An
dres and had frightened the lines
about the city Of Chihuahua had the
effect of producing pessimistic dis
cord

PUBL|SHERASU|C|DE
CRAIGE LIPPlNCOTT, VICTIM OF
BULLET, is FOUND DEAD
BY HIS VALET.
NONE IN HOUSE HEAR SHOT
Although Son of Philadelphia Be-
ieVes Fathers Death Result of Ac-
cident, Business Associate De-
cIares He Took His Own Life.
Lippincott,

Philadelphia.-Cra Lippincott,
head of the publishing house of j. B.
Lippincott company, and prominent
in the financial and social life of the
city, shot and killed himself in his
magnificent home, 218 West Ritten-
house square. The cause that led Mr..
Lippincott to end his life is not def
nitely known.
Although one of his sons, Jay B..
Lippincott, made a sworn statement
on his belief that his fathers death
sued by member of the publishing
firm, expressly stated that Mr.. Lippin-
colt took his own life.
No one in the house heard the shot
that ended his life. He was found by
his valet, who had entered the room
to shave him and assist him to dress.
Physicians later gave the opinion that
he had shot himself about five o'clock.
The bullet passed through the tenn
pies.
The fact that Mr.. Lippincott had
suffered from insomnia of late lent
support to the first theory of acct
dental death. He was intensely nerv-
Gus and since his mansion had been
entered by burglars few months ago
he had been constantly expecting an
other attempt at robbery. 1t was the
first belief of the family that he had
heard noise in the night, had arisen
and picked up the revolver to repel
possible intruder and had accident
ally discharged it. But the nature OF
the wound refuted this idea, as the
powder marks showed that the pistol
muzzle had been placed close to the
head.
Mrs. Lippincott, the wife of the
dead publisher, is Frustrated. They
had been married 40 years. She was
in an adjoining room, but did not hear
the fatal shot.
Mr.. Lippincott's death caused sen
sation in financial and social circles
and the circumstances under which he
was found dead have greatly shocked
his relatives and friends.
Mr.. Lippincot was born in this city
on November 4, 1846, and was the sor
of Joshua Ballinger Lippincott and 10
sephine Craige Lippincott. He was
graduated from the University OF
Pennsylvania and in 1866 he entered
the publishing house of J. B. Lippin
colt & Co., which has been the ]. B
Lippincott company since 1885. In
1871 he married Miss Sallie E. Buck
nell of this city. In 1886 Mr.. Lippin
colt succeeded his father as president
of the publishing company. He was
member of the Society of the May
flower Descendants and Of the Art
Union League, Rittenhouse and
RACQUET clubs of this city.
Besides his interests in the pub
fishing house he was a director of the
Farmers and Mechanics National
bank and a director in the Pennsyl
vania company for insurance on lives
and granting annuities. Mr.. Lippin
colt is survived by his widow; 9
daughter, Mrs. Samuel K. Reeves; a
son, Jay B. Lippincott, and brother
]. Bertram Lippincott.

PRIEST In COLLAPSE
CAMORRA TRIAL HALTED BY
PAINTING OF VITOZZI.
Accuses Carbiniers of Calumny and
Declares He Is Innocent of
All Crime.

Viterbo, Italy.-Ciro Vitozzi, the
priest, who weepingly pleaded that
he had celebrated masses for the
repose of the soul of the murdered
King Humbert, when called in the
court of assizes to explain how
misery had acquainted him with such
strange bedfellows as Erricone the
usurer, Rapi the gambler, and
others of the band of thieves and cut
threats who made up the Neapolitan
Camorra, collapsed on the witness
stand after making a touching plea
for justice.
When Vitozzi tainted President
Bianchi abandoned all hope of re-
storing, order, even with the aid of
the carbiniers and adjourned the ses-
sion long before the usual hour.
Vitozzzi presented pitiful appear
ance when he stepped from his cage
and, leaning on a cane with one hand
and supported by his physician on
the other side, made his way to the
stand. Before seating himself he
! stood for several moments with head
bowed as if in prayer, the while de-
voutly crossing himself. His physi-
clan explained to the president that
the priest was in a very feeble con-
| dition and asked that he be allowed
| to administer stimulants to him
whenever he deemed it necessary
This permission was granted.
Vitozzi made no attempt to control
his emotions. He talked ramblingly
of his past life, the Camorra and the
accusations made against him and at
times seemed to pay little heed to
the questions put to him. He said
he was Erricone's godfather and could
not believe that he had been impli-
Gated in the murder. of the Cuoccolos.
to say nothing of being implicated In
the crimes himself. Vitozzzi, 1t will
be remembered, gained Erricone's re-
lease when he was first arrested by
| declaring the real murderers of the
Cuoccolos had confessed their crimes
to him, but he was compelled by the
structures of the confessional to keep
their names secret. He proclaimed
himself innocent with loud and pro
longed sobbing. He had never done
wrong, he said, and he knew evil only
as a servant of the church must know
it to combat it successfully.
He protested vehemently against
the methods of the carbiniers.
II am Innocent" he cried; I am q
martyr. 1 am sick from the Islander
and the cruelty of these last three
years."
