Becker and his wife, accompanied
by the sheriff and deputies, left the
Grand Central station for Ossing at
noon. Mrs. Becker bore up bravely.
She will take up her residence at
Ossing. Becker's execution will be

William Shapiro, driver of the "mur-.

to be complete confession.
Shapiro was closeted with Dis
trict Attorney Whitman for several
hours. For days his counsel, Aaron

all he knew. Shapiro feared to do so,
said the lawyer, because he believed
he would be killed.

that of murder.
Mr.. Whitman is said to be willing
to agree to this, but is not prepared

Independent Candidate
For Sheriff at Mass Meet
ing of Greenville Citizens
Held Wednesday Night.

Greenville, Oct. 3O.-The most re-
markable gathering of a political ma
ture held in. Greenville for many
years was the mass meeting of the
citizens of Greenville county at the
board of trade rooms tonight, for the
purpose of formally and effectively
launching an independent candidate
for the Office of sheriff of this county.
The result of the gathering was a
unanimous endorsement of Mr.. w. F.
Verdin, of Austin township, as the in
dependent candidate to oppose Mr..
Hendrix Rector for this office,
Mixed Gathering.
In the meeting were men from all
walks of life.. The mill operative, the
farmer, the clerk, the merchant, the
mill superintendent, the mill presi-
dent, the banker, the broker and the
barber were all represented. A more
comprehensive collection of men
would be verySdifficult to find.
The meeting was the elimination
of the opposition to Mr.. Rector be-
cause of the part he took in the arrest
of Messrs. .Gilfeath, Gosnell and Phil

HIS GREAT PRINCIPLES. .

Theodore Roosevelt cannot work with William
II. Taft for political progress because he finds that
Mr.. Taft is unfit for the task
But Mr.. Roosevelt could work with Plat
He could work with Hanna
He could work with Quay
He could work with Foraker.
He could work with AddiekS
He could work with Cox
He could work with Lorimer as long as Lori
mer served his purpose.
He could work with Hartman.
He could work with J Pierpont Morgan.
He could work with the Steel Trust
He could work with the Harvester Trust.
He could work with all the privileged ele-
ments Of extortionate protection.
He could work with Cannon.
He could work with Aldreh
Even now he can work with Finn and George
w Perkins and with anybody else who will work
with him
But he cannot work with the President of the
United States-because the President of the Unit
ed States is candidate for reelection.
If William H. Taft had retired from the
paign three months ago in favor of Theodore
Roosevelt does any sane human being doubt that
Theodore Roosevelt would be the stump today
defending every act of the Taft administration
and denouncing all of Taft's critics enemies of
progressf

is fighting for are a third term for Theodore

WHY WILL THEY BE SORRY

When rousng eheers~for La Toilette inter
rupted his plea for Roosevelt at Stockton. Gov
ernOr johnson lost his temper and retorted:
I'm glad that you did that because it is
your last chance After next Tuesday YOU viii be
sorry YOU did that
Presumably, the men or women who eheered
La Toilette progressIves, citizens who
would rather stand by their principles than fall
in shouting behind a false leader merely because
he seems TO have a better chance Of winning
Why, then, will they be sorry after next Tuesdays
Why will they regret that they preferred La
Toilette to ROOSEVELT
We can only conclude from the governors
remark that he thinks they viii be sorry merely
because he cannot conceive of person being
proud of steadfast loyalty to principle even in the
face of defeat
The applause for La Toilette came from those
republicans who would not desert their leader for
the sake of political expedency. They had been
with johnson for the Wisconsin senator, but
would not with him go over to the intriguing
compromising, bluffing thirdtermer of Oyster Bay
They had been for La Toilette for the cause and
not for politics. Their allegiance was genuine and
sincere and could not be weakened even by the
spectacle of the governors treaehery Their be-
lief was real; II was not sham; 1t could moi be
shaken by the appeals of johnson, Rowell Lss-
ner, and the whole crowd of so-called pro
gressives" who so suddenly decided that only by
entering into political deal with the harvester
and steel trust could they keep the national gov
eminent out of the hands of the special interests
And whatever the result of the primary elee-
ton next Tuesday. those constant supporters of
the Wisconsin senator who refused to be delivered
by the governor of California will have reason to
remember with pride that they were true to the
cause as they understood it and not willing to
abandon both the cause and its accepted leader
for brighter prospect of dividing the spoils of
victory. Sacramento Union.

NOT FREE SPEECH.

attention. The struggle between the authorities

ton INDUCED in the grosseest black guarding with
no attempt at reasoning, and this kind of oratory
was listened to by crowds that blocked the side

passed an ordinance restricting speaking to some
other locality. This did not suit the orators, and

passed ordinance followed The question Of free
speech is but indirectly involved since freedom Of

APRIL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS.

The dividends paid by mining and metalur-
gieal companies during the month of April total
nearly $l0000O00, which, added to the figures for
the preceding three months bring the amount
distributed this year up to more than $3O,000OO0.
Prominent among the companies distributing
profits during April the Anaconda Copper
Company of Montana, which paid 81, 100 $50; the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines Company of Nevada,
which paid 81 1884, and the Guggenheim Ex-
ploration Company, which paid $5l9,S33 Another
company distributing large amount was the Pip
issng Mines Company of Ontario which paid to
It's stockholders the Of 100000.
There represented In these four companies
four different types of corporations deriving their
profits from the mines of this country. The first
Is one Of the largest producers of copper in the
world, the second holds AN equal position among
gold producers while the third is a securities
holding company and the fourth, a silver pro-
ducer, ranks among the most prominent Of the sill
mining companies.
Among other companies distributing fair-szed
amounts during the month Coppers-Ah-
meke, $20000U; Champion 100000; Copper
Range Cons, $l92093; North Butte, $164,000; Old

mont, $4,000
smaller amounts, representing gold, silver, lead,
zinc and quicksilver producers; but the foregoing
are the ones which hold the records for the partic-
ular month
Another interesting point to observe concerns
the number of states represented in this list of
dividend payers, these states being: Michigan,
Montana California, Idaho. Missouri, Utah, South
Dakota, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin Washington,
Aropina, besides Ontario, British Columbia and
Mexico.
This list is typical of the various months of
the year The total amounts paid may vary from
month to month, but each month each of the min
ing states of the west comes in with one or more
dividend disbursements, usually with number to
its credit
The grand total for the year amounts to
many Millions and not the least among the COM
panes which go to make up this total are the
ones which pay regular though comparatively
small amounts each month; such a one, for in
stance, as the Heca of Idoha, or the Golden Cycle
of Colorado. These comparatively small monthly
dividends mount up to goodly figures before the
year has passed-Denver Mining News.

MUNICIPAL FESTIVAL
In Honor of Jeanne dare Set Apart by
Paris City Council.

The newly-elected City Council of
Paris, France, has given the country
a taste of it's quality at its first sit
ting. In spite of the opposition of the
secret lodges to the institution of a
national festival in honor of Blessed
Jeanne dArc-an opposition which
has hitherto prevented the Chamber
from ratifying an old vote of the Sen
ate of 1894 in favor of such a day be-
ing set apart-the Council has de-
clared that Paris at least shall keep
such an annual festival on May s, the
anniversary Of the relief of Orleans.
Freemasonry has opposed the institu-
ton of such festival of patriotism
and faith on the pretext that it was
intended as set-off to the 14th of
July out of hatred to the Republic.
What has hitherto been potent in
Parliament has now been shown to
be poWerless in the Paris Council,
where the vote of the masons would
at last seem to be at discount.
It now only remains for the Cham
ber to throw off the yoke and give
official sanction to a holiday which is
already dear to all true hearts in
France.
