WHlTECAPS PUNISHMENT
The Victim May Die or Lose the
Sight OF Both OF HIS
Eyes

Wooster, o. Either death or
blindness In both eyes Is facing MI
chael Heilman, of Fredericksburg, as
result OF brutal treatment given
him Tuesday night by a band OF 20
men and women disguised as white
caps. The authorities are awaiting
the outcome before making arrests.
Heilman was taken from his home,
stripped of his clothing, lashed with
a whip until his flesh was raw, and
then successive coating of carbolic
acid solution, red pepper, hot tar and
feathers were applied to his bruised
flesh. The red pepper was also
thrown into his eyes.
In this condition he was ridden on
a rail and finally turned loose with
orders TO run. For ten miles he ran
as fast as he could, screaming in
agony, and then fell unconscious near
this city. where he was picked up and
brought to a physicians office.
The mobbing was brought about
because of his alleged relations with
a Mrs. Rebecca Volk, the mother OF
seven children.
Heilman declared that he recog-
nized several women in the mob and
has given the names OF other mem
bers Of the band TO the authorities.

MQSBY'S BAND FLEE
BEFORE MEX|CANS
Band of 100 Are Driven Across
the Line.
ODDS 5 TO | AGAINST THEM.
Gen. Mosby's Command Stood or
500 Mesieans for Two Hours
--Finslly Lay Down Arms at
international Boundary.

Tijuana, Lower California.-After
two hours OF sharp fighting against
500 Mexican troops, 100 rebels,
under General Jack Mosby, laid down
their arms at the international boun-
dary line ana marched across as pris-
oners of United States troops.
Two rebels were killed and one
was wounded and 90 federals were
killed or wounded, II is reported.
The rebels retreated three miles
from Tijuana to the international
line, and then gave up. With this
engagement, 1t is believed, the revolt
In Lower California is ended.
Mosby and his men, all Americans,
surrendered to Captain Frank A. Will
cox, Thirtieth Infantry, United States
Army.
The rebels slain we're George Nor
gan and Fred Rogers. Lieutenant
Barkalee was shot in the groin and
captain Holland was overcome by
heat.
The men deposited their arms and
ammunition, and the frightened
rebels were cheered as they crossed
the line, for the spectators of the
battle were in sympathy with the
losers.

MORSE RENEWSH|S
FIGHT FORL|BERTY
Banker Says He Was Not Con.
viCted as a FeI0n.
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.
Asks For Release on Grounds That
Atlanta Penitentiary Was In
tenr ed For Men Doom
ed to HARD Labor.

Atlanta, Ga.-That the reading OF
newspaper story led Charles w.
Morse to apply for writ of habeas
corpus in an effort to secure his re-
lease from the Federal prison here
developed Saturday in the hearing of
the application before Judge New
man, in the United States District
Court. Morse is serving a 15-year
sentence for violation OF the nation
al banking laws.
Morse read that seven men con-
yicted and sentenced in Federal
courts would not be sent to the At
lanta prison because they had not
been sentenced to hard labor" and
because the act authorizing the con-
struction of the prison here specific
ally stated that 1t was to be a prison
for felons. lie determined that these
facts fitted his own case, and when
President Taft recently denied his
application for a pardon he imme-
diGtely took steps TO have filed a
petition Tor habeas corpus writ
The petition demanded hearing
on two grounds. 1t contended that
as Morse was convicted on a mis-
demeanor charge he cannot be in
carcerated lawfully in prison erect
ed solely for felons. 1t is contended
further that the 15-year sentence Is
excessive in that the law limits the
sentence to 10 years on any one
count on the offense charged against
Morse.
Morse originally was convicted on
90 counts, but the Court OF Appeals
sustained only Ia, all charging false
entry. AS no mention was made OF
the counts by the court in passing
sentence, Morse's attorney contends
It must be construed as being on one
count only, and therefore excessive.
The government met Morses con-
tention by recalling case where .
man convicted in a Federal court on
q misdemeanor charge had been sent
to a State prison for felons. Morse's
attorneys replied that the cases were
not similar. Judge Newman will
hear further argument later.

SUICIDE A PRIVATE AFFAIR
Physicians Urge That News
papers Stop Publishing
Stories.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"Suicide is
private affair. There is no more
justification for the publication OF
such accounts than there is for pub
fishing other private matters" This
is the assertion of committee of
the American Academy of Medicine,
which investigated the questioning
of suicide, and making its report
here requested the press of America
to refrain from further publication
of such affairs. "If, however," the
report declares, the members of the
press are still skeptical as to the fact
that they are now accessories to
crime, we suggest that they assist In
the study of the conditions" num-
Der OF suggestions in this respect
are made, and II is also proposed that
II the papers insist. upon printing
scandals and news OF suicides II be
limited to a separate sheet OF dis
tinct yellow color, so "clean minds
may avoid the corruption. II such a
method is desirable for athletic news,
why not extend its use?
Your committee finds that alien
lists are practically unanimous in the
opinion that the suggestive effect OF
the reading of details of suicides is
a powerful factor in the causation OF
suicides among susceptible indi.
vlduals.
Newspaper men, while admitting
that the alienists are OF the opinion
that such publications are cause OF
the crime, and even admitting that
there may be some truth in the opin-
ion, reply that II Is the province OF
the papers to publish the news. At
tempts to prevent such publication
are in"asions OF the liberty of the
press. They say that the people de-
mand the news and II must be given
them.
THE present decadent condition
OF the press OF the United States is
often mentioned. There Is hardly a
daily issued which is an honor to
this century. Much OF the news
is such as might make be left un-
published. The papers make domes-
tic scandal and divorce popular, as
II considered highly respectable.

SUBMARINES NEW RECORD
Travel From Newport to Province
town Without Being Seen.

Washington.-The recent run OF
the little submarine fleet from New
port to Gloucester, Mass, broke all
records of length of submersion and
distance travelled beneath the surface.
All the way from Newport to Prov
incetown their voyage was made
without detection by passing vessels,
although the submarines must have
passed a large number of craft navi-
eating the crowded channels. The
commanding officer reported with
pride that even the newspaper report
ers did not discover the fleet.
One boat made a considerable run
at the great depth OF 60 feet, and al
together the voyage was a satlsfac-
tory demonstration OF the probable
value OF the submarine in actual
warfare.

PRESIDENT TAFT
FOR LOWER TARIFF
Protection Against Canada is
Unnecessary.
TAFT SPEAKS ON THE TARIFF.
Actresses Az 5le nee at Providence, Say
Ing That Before an Industry Re-
eelves Protso Ion Now Il Must
Demonstrate Neeo OF II.

Providence, r. President Taft
told an audience in Providence with
regard to the tariff and reciprocity
that "the time for the Chinese wall
10 gone"
The President followed his trend
OF thought first expressed at Spring
field, H., in January last, when he
sounded a retreat from the Payne
Aldrich tariff, but he went further
this time and in palmer terms.
I'VE must recognize" said the
President, that the time for the
Chinese wall is gone. Before an in
dustry receives protection now 1t
must demonstrate the need OF that
protection and 1t must not ask for
more protection than 1t needs"
Going from his views upon tariff
generally, he considered the need of
a tariff with regard to Canada. He
cited the industries in the East and
the farms Of the West and con-
cluded:
81 do not think any industry
needs protection against Canada. My
heart is full of reciprocity and |
wanted to talk"

WILL PROTECT THE VOTERS
Repres OIL ntative Boehne Proposes to
Make II Crime to
Threaten

Washington.--Corporations which
shut down their plants In order to in
fiuence voters or attempt to dictate
legislations by such underhand meth
DDS are to be amenable to punishment
hereafter, If bill which Representa-
tive Boehne, OF Indiana, has intro
duced in the House becomes a law.
Representative Boehne would also
make 1t crime for any corporation
TO display on its factory walls plac-
ards and signs limiting" that en-
ployes shall vote such and such
ticket If they wish to retain their po-
sitions.
During the debate on the Free List
Bill Representative Underwood, OF
Alabama, startled the House by
statement that the Steel Trust had at
tempted to dictate what stand he
should take on tariff revision. The
bill put woven wire on the free list,
and just before the bill came to
vote in the House Representative I'm
derwood received notice by telegraph
that the Steel Trust had ordered the
work stopped on an immense new
plant in the course of construction in
the Alabama representatives. district.
1t was declared that the action OF
the corporation was because OF Mr..
Underwood's tariff views as a mem
ber and chairman { the all-powerful
House Committee on Ways and
Means. Representative Underwood
recognized this as direct effort to
influence legislation and flung a de-
fiance in the direction of the Steel
Trust and declared amid the applause
OF his colleagues in the House that he
would not change his views. The
Boehne Bill is believed to have
grown out OF this incident.

FEDERAL AID IN ROAD BUILDING
Senator Simmons Of North Caro-
lima, Makes Argument
Befort Senate.

Washington.-ln a eulogy OF the
farmer and the Importance of agri-
culture to the country Senator Sim
mons Dem, N. c., in the Senate,
made an argument in favor OF gov
ernment aid for the Improvement Of
rural highways. In part, he said:
BY far the most pressing need Of
the farmer and the most pressing
need of the country is good roads and
improved highways. We have the
finest railways in the world and the
poorest highways. The government
has helped TO build these railroads
Why should II not help to build the
equally important system OF short
distance transportation-the coun-
try highways over which the prod
ucts OF the farm must be hauled be-
fore they reach these national high
ways?
Does not the fact that transpor-
tation from the farm to the station Is
80 times higher than from the sta
ton to the point of ultimate distri-
button appeal for remedy?
There can be no doubt about the
constitutional power of the govern
ment to aid in the construction and
maintenance Of our public roads.
"Of the 2,l50,000 miles of dirt
roads in this country the government
is today using over 100000 miles
for star routes and rural delivery
service. 1t has established them into
post roads and II is actually using
them every day in the year. except
Sundays and holidays, to carry the
mails"

GoNernor leads posse

Corvallis, 0re.-Jesse Hall. an
escaped convict, was captured by
armed pursuers, headed by Governor
Oswald West, who felt morally bound
to retake the prisoner because OF a
misplaced confidence. Governor
West recently established the custom
OF taking the parole of penitentiary
convicts and, garbing them like
ordinary workingmen. sending them
out to do rosd work. The plan
worked well until Hail. in prison for
highway robbery, broke his parole.
