Militant Leaders on Hand.
With the arrival yesterday Of some
of the militant standpatters who have
fought through many battles in rays
gone by, that wing of the republican
party became more active and more
belligerent than before. At the confer
ence last night there was no question
as to how those present felt about the
house organization. Mr.. Stillman will
not have enough votes to assure his
election unless he will promise to di
vide the chairmanships so that the
standpatters shall get fair share.
The conference was for members OF
the lower house only. The senate,
with it's seventeen standpatters, seven
teen progressives and sixteen DEM
ocrats, will be able to settle it's organ
ization questions easily. ~
Candidates for state printer and
binder are still active. The standpat-
tiers are practically unit for Joe 5.
Long of Osceola, who conducted Gov
Carrolrs campaign last spring. Sam
Green of Charlton apparently has the
edge on the other progressives who
are candidates for printer, and the
only argument against him is that he
is from the eighth district, the same
one in which Mr.. Long makes his
home. However; it is not probable that
a little matter like geography will be
allowed to prevent settlement OF
the election of printer and binder IT
there are no more obstacles than now
appear on the surface.
Weaver for Progressives.
General James B. Weaver, who never
grows too old to put in his oar in mat
tiers political, slipped one over last
night when he came out in an inter-
view with the declaration that the
democrats should join with the pro-
gressives to- elect man, now that
Senator Cummins has declared in ia
vor of the Oregon law. The general
may or may not have overlooked the
fact that Mr.. Young is also out in ia
vor of the Oregon statute or some
Iowa adaptation of it. But he has not
overlooked the fact that if a progress
sive is elected for the short term and
the Oregon law is written into the
Iowa books, the democrats would stand
a better chance of electing a senator
than would be the case il Senator
Young is elected now to succeed him

He TRIES TO DIE
Failing in Attempt Young
Cigar Salesman Is Spirited
Away to Avoid Arrest.
A VERY LIVELY NIGHT.
All Kinds of Trouble Greet
Howard Schaeffer and Now
He Is Missing.

BY all accounts young Howard Schaef-
fer. a twenty-five year-old cigar sales
man Of South Brooklyn. must have had
a fairly busy night OF It last night.
First he was severely upbraided by
his prospective fa~ther-in-law. Then his
engagement was abruptly broken of.
After this he tried to kill himself and
was subsequently revived and hustled
away half dressed and not much more
than half conscious to save him from
arrest on a charge OF attempted suit
eide.
schaeffer boarded with the family OF
Daniel weyman at No. $40 East Twenty
ninth street. For some months he had
been attentive to Miss Mary Rosenthal.
the pretty nineteen-year-old daughter ot
Charles Rosenthal. a wealthy real estate
operator. who lives just across tho
street at No. 643 and has Offices at No.
las FIatbust, avenue. Miss Essential
and her parents had been led to believe
that he was the son OF a rich cigar
manufacturer in Chicago.
N Fresh Trouble.
According to the police. young schaef-
fer got into some sort of financial diff
cultes and Mr.. Rosenthal made certain
checks good for him. Schaeffer promised
to avoid such complications in the fu-
ture, but last night 1t Is said that Mr..
Rosenthal learned that his daughters
fiancee was in fresh trouble.
He sent for the young man and in the
girls presence told him what he had
learned and forbade him ever to enter
the door again. He told Miss Rosen-
hi that she must give up all hope of
marrying the young a There was a
fearful scene and at It's conclusion
Schaeffer grabbed his hat and ran.
A few minutes later he called up the
house on the telephone and over the
wire told Miss Rosenthal that he meant
TO kill himself.
He Turns on Gas.
While she and her father were trying
20 locate him he slipped into his board
ing place. went to his room. locked
himself in. turned on the gas and laid
down. The sharp nose OF little Freddie
Weyman, son of the owner OF the house,
detected the odor and he gave the
alarm. weyman broke in the door ana
set about reviving his ledger. Then the
Rosenthals came along with other
neighbors.

story That the UnionWirc Murder
or Has Been unsuccessful in Spr"-

An interesting story comes ont of
Spartanburg about W. II. Jones, the
Union county farmer under life sen
tencc for the murder Of his wife
The following is the story from
Spartamburg about Jones:
1t was learned that Jones
had lost an amount estimated at
about $lOO.0Gu through speculation
in cotton and wheat. He has ap-
pointed the Nicholson Trust Com
pany of Union trustee OF his estate,
and instructed To pay his debts out
Of the income of his plantation.
Jones owns about 5000 acres of
land. 5000 acres being contained in
a single plantation. The annual in

it is said
According to his Spartanburg
friends, Jones turned to speculation
in all effort not only to recover the
attorneys fees and other expenses
OF his trials and appeals to the su-
preLe court. but also to divert his
mind from his trouble. At first, it
is said. he was successful, but later
the tide turned and he sustained
heavy losses
Jones has been confined in the
Union county Jail since the death of
his wife on the night of July 4,
1910. He has enjoyed many privil-
eges, it is said and in the early art
OF his Imprisonment drank heavily.
His market operations were conduct

GREAT HABEAS CORPUS ACr.
May 2., 1879.

Two hundred and thirty-two years
agO-May 27,1679-the Parliament
OF England passed the famous ha-
oeas corpus act, an act which secur-
ed To every Englishman the person
al freedom without which human
life has no dignity and but little
happiness.
AS all the world knows. English
men had been the proud possesSors
of Magma Charta for centuries, but
in many respects that ancient char
ter of British liberty had become, in
the language of the late Mr. ingalls,,
an ''iridescent dream" Il pretty
theory TO which those in authority
paid but little attention in actual
practice. Time and again the ven
cradle document was Haunted by
the kings and their henchmen. with
the result that the descendants of
the men who wrung the great char
ter from John at Runnymede were
treated not as freen'rn but as
slaves
This happened under king after
king, reached an alarming stage un-
der Charles the First. and came to
climax in the reign of the Merry
Monarch" who succeeded to the
fiasco of the Second Protectorate.
The INSCRIPTIONS and despotic Clar-
endon brought things TO the pass
where the representatives of the
people were obliged to act. and the
result was the immortal bill which
forever put an end to all trifling
with the sacred rights of English
men.
Despite the provision that had
been made in Magma Charta for re-
lief against arbitrary Imprisonment,
Clarendon threw men into prison
and kept them there without any
legal remedy, but by the habeas
corpus act of 1879 the old practice
of the. law was freed from all diff
culties and exceptions. Every pris-
oner committed to Jail was declared
entitled to his writ, even in the va
cation of the courts. and heavy pen
alties were enforced on judges OF
1ailers who refused the prisoner his
rights. The judge who delayed
granting the writ OF habeas corpus
forfeited 500 pounds sterling to the
party aggrieyed. while violation of
, the PROVISION that no Englishman
should be transported beyond seas
for trial carried with it the same
heavy penalty
AT last Magma Charta was a liv-
ing realty and not n mere theory.
For four hundred and sixty-fouI
years Englishmen had endured the
violation of the sacred document,
had borne with the tyranny Of kings
and the insolence of their minister's
but at last the age-long neglect was
over, and the personal freedom of
EngllShmeQ was forever assured
