Three times In FIVE they are won by
men who start with but limited re-

There Is no long waiting-no serious

the revolution are now willing to con-

except those providing for the estab

The revolutionaries announce the ar

eight provinces, with the proxies of
three other provinces, and that the
delegates met in assembly and adopted

republic. The President Of the republic,
it is declared, will be elected by dele

The revolutionaries hope to make Nam

The q minutes of procedure that

for the occasion, received setback

ATTACK ON PRESIDENT
And Secretary of State Made by Ham,
lin of Missouri.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Criticism of
the President and the secretary of
state for their Interpretation of the
statute governing the secret fund for
the state department, was made by
Rep. Hamlin Of Missouri, Tuesday, in
a speech in the House, today. Mr.
Hamlin is chairman of the committee
on state department expenditures
which has Deen making an investiga
ton of this matter.
In six years, said Mr.. Hamlin, de
partment officials had expended Sc
cretly S742,9s1. averaging Si22,000 Z
year, when the secret fund appropri
ated for such a purpose was only 500,
600 year. He called upon the House
to amend the statute to prevent the
fund becoming THE very haven of Of
fetal piracy"
Mr. Hamlin urged the creation of a
joint committee to whom the President
shall make an annual itemized report
on expenditures of the money giver
him for the previous fiscal year for
" Emergencies arising in the diplomat
ic and consular service" The bill
makes misuse of the fund high crime

PURSUED BY BAD LUCK.
Barge Maryland, Formerly Steamer
General Slocun,, Founders.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-The last vestige
of the unfortunate steamboat General
Slocum. on which about 1000 lives were
lost in the waters of New. York, some
years ago, now lies at the bottom of the
sea. After the steamboat was burned to
the waters edge, the hull was converted
into barge and given the name of Ma
ryland A report was received here,
Tuesday that the barge could not stand
the gale that blew off the New Jersey
cosat. yesterday, and sank somewhere
in the vicinity of Sandy Hook. The crew
of five men were taken off by tug. The
Maryland was valued at $4,000 and there
was no insurance.
Bad luck pursued the hull of the Gen.
eral Slocum even after 1t had been turn
ed into barge. Peter Hagan, the own
er of the Inflated hull, said that she was
always getting into trouble. Even on

"ORGANlzED LABOR,

Cleveland, Dec. 5.-"Organized labor
the decent, orderly element, will profit by
the outcome Of the Mcnamara case,
said Detective William J. Burns before
leaving for Philadelphia. this evening
And just as soon as they rid them
selves of such radicals as Samuel Com
pers their progress will be all the more
rapid and satisfactory.
II think the public should be well sat
isfied with the sentences passed on tht

Angles, today because If Judge Bord-
well, an eininently fair and able jurst
considered a life sentence for James B
and 10 years for John j., adequate pun

weight that could be given it by lon
study of the case.

Judge BordwelPs disposition of the mat
ter, though I frankly say / think tina
the McNamaras may consider themselve
fortunate at escaping a greater penalty.

would he outline his future movement

WABASH REORGANIZATION
Determined Upon by Direetors-A
Surprise TO Most People.

New York, Dec. 5.-"Financiai re-
adjustment and Organization of the
wabash Railroad was determined up
on, Tuesday, at a meeting of the d.
reetors. The announcement was
something Of a surprise to those who
have followed the fortunes of this
property 1t having been generally be-
lieTed that the reorganization plan
OF the Wheeling and Lake Erie Wa
bash terminal roads would be accept
DE-, thereby materially reducing Wa
bash's financial burden.
Winslow S. Pierce, once a promin-
ent figure in all Gould projects, re-
turned to his early Affiliations as
chairman of the Wabash board and
re organization committee, succeed
ING q. T. Jeffery. who continues as a
director. Other new men on the board
are Edwin Hawley, who comes in not
because of any interest in Wabash,
but as practical railroad man: Rob-
ert Goelet and Alvin w. Krech, presi-
dent of the Equitable Trust Co. which
IS trustee of the first and refunding
ana extension mortgages of the Wa
bash road.
one OF the unexpected incidents OF
the proposed Reorganization is the
naming Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. as syn
oieate managers. That firm owns the
greater part if not all of the S6,000.0 0t
note for which the Wabash is guar
antor. but its introduction into the or
gained company is believed in many
wall Street quarters to have some
deeper significance. Relations between
Kuhn, Loeb 8; Co. and the Goulds have
not been especially friendly ever since
the unexpected withdrawal of the
bankers from the Missouri Pacific f.
| nancing, early in the year.
Although one of the leading interests
in the Wabash reorganization is au
| thority for the statement that read
| jrstment will not involve receivership
that very important point is yet to b'
settled.

You have stated in the writing which
the district attorney has read that
yot placed 16 sticks of dynamite,
known as so per cent pure. in the
Times building and caused il to be
exploded. The question | ask is this;
Did you seek to purchase, for that
same purpose, dynamite of higher de-
gree of percentage"
The defendant paused and seemed to
lose his composure. Finally he spoke:
NO, Your Honor. no, sir
You did not?"
NO sir"
There is very little, or no ray of
comfort. Mr.. Mcnamara. continued
Judge Bordwell, lin the assertion by
You that you did not intend TO destroy
life. The widows and orphans and
the bereaved parents will look upon
that statement at this time as mock
cry. The circumstances are against
YOU in making any such claim. A
man who would put 16 sticks of so per
cent. dynamite in building full of
explosives q do not now refer to the
explosives of which you had no knowl-
Iedge. l really mean combustable ma

building, in which you. as a printer,
knew gas was burning in many places.
and in which you knew there were
scores of human beings toiling, must
have had no regard whatever for the
| lives of his fellow beings. He must
have been a murderer at heart. You
well merit the maximum punishment
prescribed by law
The prisoner quivered and his head
dropped. He twisted his fingers in his
hand behind him, then lifted his head
again.
That the judgment of the court
does not condemn you to death upon
the gallows is due to the existence of
no extenuating circumstances what
ever, but because it appears to the
court the part of wisdom to do other
wise.
1T is the judgment of the court
that as punishment for the crime of
murder in the first degree. TO which
yoU have pleaded guilty. you shall be
confined in the state prison of this
state at San Quentin for and during
your natural life. You may be seated"
Apparently relieved as much as one
could be with life sentence confront
ing him, the prisoner sat down beside
his brother. who then rose.

that he had applied to the Carnegie

he had made such application before his

on the grounds of long service as n

may be dependent upon him for support

and James b. whispered to John J.
that he could sit down while the dis

There are no lives lost i'll this
case" remarked District Attorney
tredericks. and while the destruction
OF property was considerable it was
not great He cited the custom of
leniency where q defendant pleaded
lguilty and continued:
THE extreme penalty which the law
could infiict for this offence would be

suggest in that connection would be
that the court take into consideration
the probable life remaining to this de-
PENDANT, and leave him, at the end OF
