TREASON IS CHARGED.
Storm Breaks In Session of the Pro-
hibition National Committee.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Charges of trea-
son to the prohibition cause, counter
charges Of machine politics" and an
"unholy alliance" were made last night
at the second days session of the Pro-
hibition national committee.
The storm broke with the presenting
of a resolution calling upon Vice Chair
man A. G. Wolfenbarger of Lincoln,
Neb. to resign. The resolution charged
that he had withdrawn the Prohibition
candidates in the last gubernatorial
contest in Nebraska and had supported
the Republican candidate. A substitute
motion to declare Mr.. Wolfenbarger's
seat vacant was offered but was laid
on the table. e
and Chairman c. R. Jones announced
that a quorum of AZ committeeman was
not present.
A motion to adjourn sine die was Of
fered. Then oliver w. Stewart, of Chi
mittee, asked that the adjournment
motion be withdrawn to allow him to
offer his resignation. A motion to &C
cept the resignation followed.
81 offer substitute to the resolution
to the effect that we respectfully ask
all the other members of the executive
committee to resign said II. B. F'aris
of Missouri.
There were other speeches and then
Secretary w. G. CaIderwood of Mime
sofa offered his resignation from the
executive committee.
The action of the secretary caused
the "standpatters' to declare that
plot existed to put the whole executive
committee under a cloud.
'sThis is the worst case of steam
roller methods have ever seen,
shouted A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania.
81 was told that the scheme was going
to be worked this way, but it won't be
allowed to work here"
After Calderwood had denied the
charges that plot existed and dozen
fiery speeches had been made another
effort to get a vote on the demand for
the designations was taken, but there
was no quorum and the session ad-
journed.

Gadski made her New York deDut in
March, 1895, in the role of Elsa in Lohen-
grin. and she stepped into instant favor.
In 1898 she became a member of the Grau
company, receiving on Grau's retirement
e flattering offer from Heinrich Conrfed.
Gadski nights became quite the most
fashionable of the opera season, the
prima donna's Aida and Brunnfflde being
especially popular. A difference with Mr.
Conried led Gadski to sever her connec-
ton with the opera company. and for
three seasons she devoted herself ex-
clusively to concert under Loudon Charl-
toms direction. She is now back at the
Metropolitan, however. dividing her time
equally between the concert and operate
fields.
one of the most interesting features of
New York's operate history has been the
development of Nine. Johanna Gadski,
who is to be heard here under the direc-
ton of Loudon Charlton. The famous
prima donna was a young singer when
she made her American debut with the
Damrosch Opera company, and the great
er portion of her subsequent career has
been spent in this country. In sense,
then she belongs to America, despite her
European successes and German home,
and now that she has returned to the Met
ropoIftan Opera company and has again
scored heavily in the famous Wagnerian
roles there is still further reason for
Americans to feel a peculiar pride in her

POEM SAVES
A MURDERER
Oregon Governor COmmutes
Death Sentence.

Portland, Ore, Sept. e.-Arected by
reading the newspaper poem, They've
Hanged Bill Jones'" by Frank L. Stan
ton Of the Atlanta Constitution, Gov
ernor West saved Jesse P, Webb from
the gallows by committing his sentence
to life Imprisonment. The governor
himself says the poem moved him to
exercise executive clemency, although
Webb's daughter, eighteen years old,
has pleaded with the governor for
months to give her her fathers life
and has striven In every way to save
him.
The announcement that Webb would
not be hanged was made most theat-
REALLY, under the stage management OF
the warden Of the state penitentiary.
Webb was convicted Of numbering
william A. Johnson, whose body was
found In a trunk in the Union Passen-
ger station here. Everything was ready
for the execution.
Five minutes before the time set all
the convicts in the penitentiary were
marched into the main dining hail and
Webb was ordered to stand at the
head of the long central table. The
communication Of his sentence was pro-
claimed, discipline disappeared, cheers
for Governor West echoed from the
walls and reverberated down the cor
ridors. Although Webb alone Of the
prisoners may have known that his
life was saved, he seemed much af-
rected.
At his hand on the table lay a square
box.
"Open that box" the warden or
dered.
So Webb did. In the box was the
hangman's rope cut in small pieces,
As the ~convicts fled past them Webb's
daughter gave to each Of them a piece
of the rope as an agreeable souvenir
perhaps as a warning too.

POISON Frs
Authorities Think Miss De-
Witt Was Not Alone.

EastOn, Pa, Sept. 6.-While postof-
fee officials assert that they have
enough evidence to convict Miss Har-
riet De Witt Of sending the poison
pen" letters to many Eastoniana. it Is
understood that the attorneys Of the
young woman are working up evidence
to show that more than one person has
been sending this class Of letters
broadcast throughout the city. The
Rev. Elmer E, Snyder Of Christ tu-
theran church is not the only clergy
man who was the target for the letter
writer's venom. The names of at least
three other Easton clergymen are be-
ing mentioned as the recipients Of
anonymous letters. The Rev. Paul 8.
Leinbach, pastor Of the First Re
formed church, has received between
forty and fifty Of them. He burned
them all.
There is apparently no doubt in the
minds of Eastonians that more than
one person wrote anonymous letters
that have long been circulated In this
city. Those sent to Mr.. Leinbach and
a prominent member Of his congrega-
ton are not written, but printed, as
were the letters received by Mr.. shy.

FORM COMPANY
TO USE CANAL.
sis, 000,0 Corporations
Seeks Mail Contract.

New York, Sept 6.-Tbe stimulus
that will be given to American enter
prise by the completion Of the Panama
canal, particularly In the establishment
Of steamship lines, Is already making
itself felt
The Atlantic and Pacific Transport
ompany Of New Jersey has been in
orporated for S15,0O0,000 and will
Did on the ocean mail service through
The canal, for which Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock has advertised for bids.
One of the incorporators, Bernard n.
Baker Of Baltimore, who helped to es-
tablish and was president OF the At
lantic Transport company until 1t was
absorbed by the International Mercan-
tile Marine, was at the Waldorf to ex-
plain the purposes and plans of the
new company. He gave two concrete
examples of what transportation by
| the water route will save to shippers.
Pig iron was sent by the overland rail-
road route, he said, until recently from
the Birmingham district in Alabama to
San Diego, Cal, foundries at a cost of
$40 q net ton. Not long g a Chinese
company underbid the American rail-
roads and entered into a contract by
which they could bring pig iron from
China, pay the duty and deliver at San
Diego at q lower rate.
Mr.. Baker said that by taking this
product down to Mobile on barges and
carrying 1t from there through the
Panama canal, pig iron could be deliv-
cred at IS q ton, and that meant the
long English ton too. His other In
stance had to do with the shippers Of
lemons and oranges from California.
1t would mean to the dealers In cttrous
fruits a saving of approximately 40
per cent, or between 100000 and
$l5, 0O0, 1000 a year.
Mr.. Baker has been sent to Panama
in the last few years by President Taft
and by ex-President Roosevelt to In
vestigate conditions surrounding steam
ship facilities. The results Of his Wis
its were transmitted in February,
1910, to the senate committee on in
tSi ONedAiS NhhaAo AZ u ooNhAhSht "h'Nh
contained the statement that the trans
continental railroad pool has been pay
Ing over 100000 a year to the Pan
anna Railroad company to suppress
water competition by way Of Panama.
The bids close on Nov. 25 Of this
year. The schedule of routes called
for by the government consist of q
weekly service between New York and
Colon, between New Orleans and Pan
nma and between San Francisco and
Panama. and a fortnightly schedule
between Seattle and Panama.
The Atlantic and Pacific proposes to
establish and maintain these ocean
routes and to extend the services
through the canal from coast to
coast. 1t has plans under way now
for the construction Of at least fifteen
steamers, which conform in speed and
size with the requirements of the ocean
mail act of 1891. The company has
received assurances that these vessels
can be built and will be ready for use
when the Panama canal Is opened.
The headquarters Of the company
will be In Baltimore and there will be
branch offices in the chief seaboard
cities on the two coasts and on the
gulf of Mexico.
