PFLEUGER FOR POSTMASTER
WILL SUCCEED BROTHER OF
Pennsylvania CONGRESS-
MAN IN SANTA FE.
WILL TAKE PLACE OF ROUGH
RIDER As LAND OFFICE
RECEIVER.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, April 25.-The re
publican state executive COMMITTEES
this afternoon agreed not to recon-
mend rreappointment Captain Fritz
Muller, receiver of the land offioe
here, or e. G. Burke, the postmaster
in this city. Mr.. Muller will be re.
placed by Benigno Hernandez and
MI. Burke by John Pfleuger. Mr.
Burke is brother of Congressman
Burke of Pennsylvania, and is con-
sidered an Andrews man. Mr.. Muller
was captain in Roosevelt's rough
riders and is known to be great adj
mirer of his former colonel.
The fact that both Burke and Null
ler are Andrews men and have been
in office for several years shows the
clean sweep that is being made by
the executive committee in the ranks
Of the office holders in the party.
The democratic members of the
house and senate and other prom
nent members Of the democratic par
ty held meeting last night in which
they determined to call upon the dem
ocratic national committee and demo
cratic senators to fight the appoint
ments recommended by the New
Mexico republican executive commit
fee.
Last night the house and senate re-
publicans held a caucus and named
a committee consisting of Senator
John s. Clark and Representative
Burg and Chavez to wait on the state
executive committee and arrange
some plan for work between the two
branches. It is not expected the
contest cases in the house will be
brought up this week.
Late yesterday afternoon the SEN
ate adopted a resolution -unseatlng
Abelino Romero of the Fourteenth
senatorial district and plac ng An,cito
Abeytia in his stead. The resolution
was fought by the democratic mem
bers, who styled the proceeding as an
outrage.
The republicans did not discuss the
matter, but voted solidly for it.

Morocco, Monday. April 22.-(De

Hundreds of emaciated human be.
ings are huddled together there in the
empty cages of the sultan's menag.
erie and these are surrounded by
cages containing wild beasts, which,
maddened by the sight Of human
flesh, fill the gardens with their
roars. One of the assassins of Colo.

women were theN ringleaders in his
murder. They tied his arms and feet
and then slowly stabbed him to death
The mob sacked and burned at its
pleasure. destroying everything that
came in its way. The synagogues
were wrecked and the sacred books
and parchments torn and burned.
Objects too heavy to be carried off.
like beds and furniture were first
hacked to pieces and then piled in the
streets and set on fire. The streets
are a picture of desolation. Here

corpses of persons who were struck
down while trying to escape. At the

ing refugees and the consuls made

been effected. The prisoners win be

OLYMPIC is Still
UNABLE TO START
WHITE STAR LINER HELD UP IN
SOUTHAMPTON BY sTRIK-
ING FIREMEN.

Southampton, England, April 25.-
There is no chance Of the White star
liner Olympic departing on her voy-
age to New York before tomorrow
morning. She still lies off Rdye, Isle
of Wight, today unable to obtain suf.
ficient firemen and oilers. The stril1-
ers have decided to hold a meeting
tonight to discuss the question wheth-
er they will rejoin the ship or not
The situation in connection with
the White Star liner Olympic serious
ly was complicated today by the de-
mand of the British Seafarers Union
that the company dismiss the Is un
ion firemen who remained on the
Clsn1pic yesterday otherwise the
Seafarers' union declares the 300 fire
men and the oilers who left the ship
win not return.
The company refused to consider
the mems demands and declared it
preferred to take the liner back to
Southampton and lay her up The
demand was made by a deputation of
strikers and other members Of the
union, who went on board the liner
to test the new collapsible lifsboats
which have been installed since the
disaster to the Titanic. Matters ap-
pear thus to have reached deadlock.
The 900 striking engineers commit
tee now are on the quay with their
kit bags awaiting the return of the
deputation in readiness to embark If
the dispute is settled.
A deputation Of the firemen and
o.lsrs has proceeded on board the
steamer to test the collapsible boats.
The inefficiency of these craft was
the reason given by the men for
striking, but at the urgent request Of
the officials OF the line and Of the
representatives of the board Of trade.
they have consented to be witnesses
Of thorough trial Of the boats and
II their reports should satisfy them.

Did NOT SUPPRESS THE NEWS
MARcoNI DECLARES NONE OF
THE PARTICULARS WAS
KEPT SECRET.
The INVESTIGATION PROCEEDS
SENATE COMMITTEE EXAMINES
A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT
WITNESSES.

Washington, April 25.-Gnglielmo
Marconi, inventor of the wireless and
chairman of the Marconi company,
limited, today told the senate com
mittee, investigating the Titanic dis
aster, that he authorized the wireless
operators of the Carpathia and Titan
ic to sell the stories OF the great
catastrophe for publication.
Mr.. Marconi explained that in CIV
ing consent for the sale he had not
attempted in any way to suppress
general information OF the wreck.
He denounced any knowledge Of wire
less messages to the Carpathia oper-
ators telling them to keep your
mouths shut" and hold out for four
figures" These messages. one Of
them signed "Marconi'. were picked
up by the United States battleship
Florida the night the Carpathia was
coming in and forwarded to the sec
retary Of the navy. Mr.. Marconi de-
clared he never authorized these
messages, but did give consent that
the operators could receive money.
Mr.. Marconi told of repeated at
tempts he had made Sunday, Monday
and the days following the tragedy
to get information. Senator Smith
said to Mr.. Marconi:
II would like your own best judg-
ment as to whether the custom estab-
lished by Operator Binns in the Re
public disaster Of selling his news
and the privilege you gave to Cot
tam in the Titanic disaster. had any
thing to do with your failure to get
this information and the public be-
ing deprived of the details of this hor-
ror?"
Mr.. Marconi said ne did not think
SO and repeatedly insisted he had not
attempted to suppress any details.
The committee late this afternoon
held an executive session. When the
hearing was resumed, Senator Smith
asked Mr.. Marconi whether since
the Titanic accident any officer of the
international Mercantile Marine or
White Star companies had requested
him or his associates to send any
silence" messages with reference to
the Titanic accident.
Mr.. Marconi said: Not SO far as
| know"
The committee then adjourned nm
til tomorrow.

the Titanics distress at 1915 o'clocl
Monday morning when wireless
call for help was caught. Captain
Moore changed his vessels course
and headed for the Titanic and began
preparations for lending assistance
but Mr.. Zurich said a great field Of
ice loomed up ahead and the northern
course was not held long.
II was reported among the crew
and passengers, according to Mr.. zu-
rich. that Captain Moore made no fur
tthed efforts to penetrate the floes,
asserting that he could not afford TO
endanger the 1000 persons aboard his
ship. The statement OF Juitzman that
passengers and crew believed they
could see the lights Of the unfortun-
ate Titanic is horne out by Mr.. Zu-
rich With two companion passen-
gers he disobeyed the captains or
ders, which forbade passengers en-
trance to the upper deck at any time.
He is fairly positive that they saw
the masts of the Titanic and he says
he is not ready to accept the asser-
tion that their ship was at least 40
miles from the wrecked liner at the
time. At any rate, he thinks the
Mount Temple might have reached
the spot before The Titanic sank and
this supposition, he says, seems to
naye been entertained by others on
board. Their vessel sighted the Car
pathia next morning, Mr.. Zurich says,
and, keeping in touch with wireless
to land. they were
with the story of the
areck. Mr.. Zurich also says the
Mount Temple sighted immense fields
'f ice Sunday and Monday.

REPUBLICANFACTIONS BITTER
TAFT NE IN MISSOURI ARE
FIGHTING WITH THE RoosE-
WELT SUPPORTERS
NO AGREEMENT is IN SIGHT
BOTH SIDES REFUSE TO LISTEN
TO ANY AGREEMENT ON
COMPROMISE BASIS

Saint Louis. Missouri, April 25.-
/ Roosevelt and Taft factions, unable
to agree, delayed the opening of the
republican state convention here to
day. The subcommittee, which ii
hearing the contests, resumed its ses
sion at o'clock with the Jackson
county contest before it. The sub
committee was in session until after
o'clock this morning.
Early this morning Governor H. s
/ Hadley, leader of the Roosevelt fac
tion, refused to consider compro.
mise to end the party row and decid-
ed to continue the fight before the
state committee, which is to complete
the temporary organization of the
convention after the subcommittee
reports. The compromise presented
by the st. Louis city committee was
that Governor Hadley and Mayor F.
H. Kreismann of st. Louis, a Taft
adherent, be named as two delegates
at-large, the other two to be chosen
in some manner to be agreed upon,
one to be Taft man and the other
a Roosevelt supporter.
State Chairman Charles ID. Morris
favored the resolution in the interest
of harmony. Governor Hadley said he
had no authority to bind the Roose-
velt delegates. The governor de.
clared he expects serious trouble at
the convention. The state committee.
which on two propositions favored
the Taft faction and on one voted for
a Roosevelt motion yesterday, it is
said today, will now vote to unseat
the Roosevelt delegates where con-
tests have been filed. This, accord
ing to Roosevelt leader, will mean
two conventions
The subcommittee without going
into the merits Of the Jackson coun-
ty contest, went into session with the
state committee. Joseph F. Black, OF
Richmond, a Taft member of the sub
committee, in reporting, said he con-
sidered the subcommittee a farce.
Black then for the Taft adherents
made the same proposition Of the st.
Louis city committee to Governor
Hadley of split uninstructed delega-
ton to the national convention. Had
ley for temporary chairman and the
missouri national committeeman to
be elected by the state delegation 70
