LEN|ENCY TO women
CAUSES new OUTBREAK

London, Nov. 3o.-The police tonight
attributed the latest outbreak OF mil
liant suffragette violence to the re-
cent freeing Of Mrs. Mary Leigh and
Miss Gladys Evans from prison in Ire
land.
There was a decided hull in the mill
tants' activities. they pointed out, af-
ter five-year terms were imposed on
Mrs. Leigh and Miss Evans for at
tempting to burn the Dublin theater
royal, the suffragettes evidently feel
ing that this penalty was severer than
they cared to risk even in the cause
of votes for women
When, as a result of their prolonged
hunger strike the home office set the
two women free. Scotland Yard pre-
dicted more trouble than ever before.
They took gloomy satisfaction to-
night In calling attention to the voci-
feration Of their prohecy. The five
women under arrest in Aberdeen for
trying to break up the Lloyd George
meeting Friday night probably will get
Off with two or three months each In

consent to pay them. If any of those
guilty of destroying mail by pouring
acid into the letter boxes here are
caught, however, the police declared
long terms of penal servitude will be
their punishment.

To Change inaugural.


Washington, Nov. 3o.-That Presi-
dent elect Wilson's determination to
postpone the pomp and ceremony
which has been a picturesque part OF
the induction into office Of a president
since early in American history will
result in the passage either at the
coming session Of congress or early IN
the extra session Of measure chang
ing the inaugural date to the last
Thursday In April was confidently pre-
dicted by members tonight.
Representative Henry of Texas,
chairman Of the house rules commit
tee, Is now fathering bill to this end.
With President Wilson behind the
plan, 1t was believed the measure,
which has been sidetracked in the
press of aggressive work, would be
secured from committees pigeon
hole and enacted into law. He said:
II am much gratified over Governor
Wilson's suggestion. 1t will help IN
the adoption OF my resolution, which
would eliminate Indictment weather in
augurations. Regardless Of the pre-
sumed status of the resolution I see
no reason why we should not carry out
w
fee March 4, reserving until a later
date the more elaborate features of
the ceremonial" While most OF the
representatives favor the change, all
Democrats who could be reached to-
night insisted that whether Governor
Wilson wanted 1t or not, they will give
him tremendous ovation when he
becomes president.
Clayton Approves.
1.-THE governor has certainly decided
upon a good plan" said Representative
Clayton. chairman OF the judiciary
committee, which reported the Henry
resolution. But don't know whether
1t will go through. at this time. At any
rate his endorsement will give impetus
to the passage Of the Henry resolu-
tion."
Governor elect Sulzer of New York
was dobuois about the plan.
ut looks like two bites at a cherry
he commented.
!, Personally I would like to see the
ipomp and ceremony part of our in
auguration eliminated. My plan Is
for a single Inauguration on the first
of January without any parade or in
augural ball. The president could take
the oath and go directly to the White
House to get on the job"
Representative Goodwin OF Ark
ansas. declared that Governor Will
son might find 1t hard to cancel plans
which the Democrats already have
made for a big demonstration on
March 4.
Il think 1t improbable that we DEM
ocrats will be denied the opportunity
Of celebrating" he said. 'T believe
Governor Wilson's announcement will
contribute to the adoption of the

HICKEY PUZZLES
THE ALIENISTS
WHO WATCH HIN
Declare That He Is Not a
Paranoiac, but That Drink
Changes His Nature
Tells of Crimes.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. So.--J. Frank
Hickey, self confessed murderer Of two
boys and a man. who acknowledged
himself guilty of vicious assaults on at
least a dozen other boys, Is not a
paranoiac.
That much was admitted tonight by
DR.. James w. Putnam, alienist, who. at
the request OF District Attorney Dud-
ley, has had the prisoner under OBJ
servation.
Hickey has no decisions" declared
DR.. Putnam However / have
reached no conclusions yet as to
whether he Is insane.
"Never in the history of modern
crime in this country has the dual per-
sonality been exemplified to a greater
degree than in the person Of Hickey.
His degeneracy is not constitution
weakness; 1t is an acquired habit, fos-
tered in the delirium Of fear and grown
to full strength in the frenzied fires of
a lust induced by excessive alcoholism.
Drink Changes His Nature.
OBVIOUSLY, with his record for kill
ing and attacks on humans, Hickey
should be a fiend in human form. He
has not that appearance. On the con-
trary he seems a contained and stu
dious person, intellectually alert and
very capable. That he has had charge
of hundreds of workmen on construc-
ton enterprise Is clear evidence of spe-
cial ability. In drink his whole nature
becomes changed and his impulse to
kill is irresistible, he says"
In a statement to newspaper men at
<1,o io al hi Tor a
killing Of Edward Mowrey at Lowell.
Mass, 80 years ago. He was II years
old then and a student in Lowell high
school. He said he killed Mowrey by
giving him a glass OF whisky with an
overdose OF laudanum in 1t to get rid
Of him. Hickey was employed In the
drug store after school hours.
For 80 years l have been haunted
by the death scene in that little drug
store" said Hickey. 81 took to drink
after that to get Mowrey out Of my
mind"
| Asked II there were any other kill
ings on his conscience than those of
Nowrey and the Josephs and Krucll
boys, Hickey declared there were not
Long Series Of Crimes.
"There were numerous instances
when by the grace Of God the boys
We're not killed." he said. -
Hickey then related a long series of
crimes.
District Attorney Dudley tonight
stated that he had obtained the con-
fession of Hickey in the killing of the
Josephs boy and also that of the Krucll
boy in New York in 1902 without CO.
erciOn PROMISES or threats Hick ey
recited the narrowing details Of his
crimes without apparent emotion. but
after he concluded and had attached
his signature to the confession, he
broke down and sobbed bitterly.
District Attorney Dudley will not
make public the confession before the
| trial of Hickey, which, 1t is believed,
will begin Dec. Is. He will be ar
raigned before Justice Wheeler on
Monday.

WILSON HORRIFIES
BRITISH SOCIETY

Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 30.-Pres-
ident-elect Wilson shocked British So
ciety here this afternoon. He wore his
famous brown fedora with a cutaway
coat to the tea and tennis given here
to the governor general, Sir George and
Lady Bullock.
Everybody who knows anything
about Piccadilly Is aware that a top
per" Is the only thing that goes cor
rectly with "mawning coat" and the
company at this tea and tennis knew
Piccadilly perfectly.
Nobody said anything, but everybody
looked his or her horror. That is. they
looked 1t for a minute. Then. with a
slight gasp. the gathering recovered
itself and politely pretended not to
know that anything was the matter.

THE PEOPLES CANDIDATE.

AS the campaign progresses, it
becomes plain that Gov. Wilson is
the one presidential candidate to
whom the country can look for SER
ious effort to reduce the high cost
of living.
President Taft, who was born
rich, approaches this question only
to explain why the high cost OF liv-
ing must remain high. He does not
understand what high prices mean
to poor people, and it is hopeless
to try to teach him.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who also was born
rich, is interested in wars and ru-
mors of wars, in grand stand plays,
in spectacular denunciations, and
most of all, in himself. If elected
which he will not be-he would
probably raise the cost of living by
his wild extravaganza.
Gov. Wilson alone has given care
full thought to his most pressing
problem of the day.
Gov. Wilson sees that needlessly
high tariff duties raise the price of
the articles on which they are levi
ed by approximately the amount OF
the duty. He calls for a revision of
the tariff downward, steadily and
unhesitatingly downward"
Gov. Wilson sees that in the shade
of the tariff, the trusts have gather
ed to exploit the people. He would
not only cut down the trust protect
ing shade; but he would invoke the
law, fearlessly and without favor,
to break up the vast combinations
which have assumed the right to
fix the high cost of living "by pri-
vate agreement
Only by the election of Gov. Will
son and the triumph of the prin-
ciples of which he is the exponent
can the burden of high prices be
lifted from the shoulders of the Am
erican people.-Chicago Journal

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
to- OHIO?

What is the matter with Ohio?
In a state where every boy child is
taught from the day he leaves MS
mothers arms that his first duty IN
life is to sacrifice himself for the
public good and seek a political JOB,
they have been having trouble to
find a candidate for Governor.
Ever since Rutherford B. Hayes
was made president it has been the
vested right of every adult repub-
lican in Ohio not only to want a
Job but to be the only man mt to NIL
any Job that might be open. At any
time in the last forty years, II the
rest of the country had been Will
ing, Ohio would have manned all
the Federal departments, from ONCE
boys to Cabinet officers, and still
had a surplus of patriots ready to
run things at home in the name OF
the republican party.
This year the first candidate for
Governor selected by the Taft people
threw up the nomination in mt OF
disgust, and it has taken weeks to
find a substitute. In the end the
man persuaded to run was their
third or fourth choice.
Matters must be looking pretty
blue this year for the Taft people,
when it was necessary for any once
to seek the man in violation ~

CUTTLEFISH.

Senator Penrose makes the direct
charge that Theodore Roosevelt
protitted by the expenditure of a
$125,OOO Standard Oil gift to his
campaign fund in 1904, and author
lied his campaign treasurer to ex-
tort an additional $4,000 from the
oil trust, which refused to be bled
a second time.
The colonel defends himself by
calling Mr.. Penrose a cuttlefish, and
producing couple of his letters,
which he says establish that he pro-
hibited Standard Oil campaign gifts
in good faith.
Mr.. Penrose's accusation is
strengthened by the Roosevelt letters
which bear evidence of having been
concocted, as an afterthought, for
the purpose of concealing, under a
pretense of "good faith" the Roose-
Welt alliance with the Rockefellers.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt says, the case
appears to be cuttlefishy. But the
cuttlefish, instead of being Senator
Penrose, is, on the face of develop
ments to date, Theodore Roosevelt.

THE FARMER AND THE TRUSTS.

"While you were feeding the
world, congress was feeding the
trusts"
In that one compact phrase, GOV.
Wilson stated the case of the tar1n-
ers of this country versus the re-
publican party.
OF the two billion dollars which
the tariff costs the consumers OF this
country each year, the farmer pays
nearly half-and gets nearly MOTH
ing.
The farmer exports considerable
produce, even now. g..
The exporter can get no advant-
age out Of an import tariff unless
he Is in the trust, which is able to
charge higher prices at home than
lit gets abroad.
The farmers of the country have
+ never been able to form trust,
and never will be able to do so.
The farmer has fed the world,
and congress- q republican con-
gress-has fed the trusts. Yet now
the republican party ask another
lease OF power that It may tame the
trusts and encourage the farmer!

Cedar Rapids Republican. Cyrenus
Cole, the editor said he was always
mistit in any party and he adds
that Frank is the greatest hand to
run other peoples business he ever
saw and he makes the worst out of
running his own. We do not believe
in abusing a man simply because he
deserts us, and we do not mean it
that way. If any so-called demo-
crat wants to desert and go to the
Bull Moose party, may he go in
peace and may God bless him, but
when he make a hullabaloo about
it as Frank does, he must not ex-
pect us to keep our faces straight

GETTING AN IMPROVED VIEW.

Editorial in Springfield (Mass.)
Republican,: says: Senator Tillman
is not among the old friends OF
William J. Bryan who wholly mis-
interpreted his policy in the demo-
cratic national convention and fell
to holly abusing him. The South
Carolina senator confesses that at
the moment he thought the common
err unnecessarily bitter, but as soon
as l could analyze and unravel what
he was doing and realized the great
stake for which he was playing l
came to feel more and more admira-
ton for him.
"He certainly is great leader
and an unequalled fighter, and the
promising condition in which the
party now finds itself after the
second fiercest battle in it's history
must be attributed to his wisdom,
foresight and magnificent courage.
He comes out of this battle the
greatest American living and will go
down in history as a far greater
man than if he had been elected
president. He did things which
must have been painful to him but
controlled alone by patriotism and
love of principle, he never faltered
for an instant. He sternly brushed
aside both friend and foe in the pur-
suit of right and justice for the
people. He deserves all the credit
that any one man can get out OF
this great victory
Thomas NJ. Osborne said much the
same thing at the first Wilson rally
held in Auburn, n. Y:
There was one man in Baltimore
to whom the democratic party owes
tremendous debt. That man is
William Jennings Bryan. I differ
ed with him in the distant past, but
l want to say to you that he is the
greatest democrat in America today.
His fight at Baltimore for courage
and shrewd political action is the
finest thing we have ever seen IN
the history of American politics.
Some said Bryan was only a mis-
chiefmaker, but he was mischief
maker only when the wrong people
were trying to guide the party
One of the striking things about
this campaign is the spectacle OF
men like Mr.. Osborne awakening to
warm admiration at a time when so
MANY of Mr.. Bryan's friends of
1895, earnestly enlisted in behalf OF
Champ Clark, could view him only
as an egotist and "marplot. The
right perspective must come to
those immediate actors, IT it has
not already done so. Even the
democrats of Missouri are applaud
ing Mr.. Bryan.

OR LATTER HANNAS.

The debate between Messrs. Will
son. Taft and Roosevelt has pro-
ceeded far enough already to make
one thing clear. There is single
issue to-day, just as there was a
year ago, two years ago ana three
wears ago, with one man on one
side of it and two men on the other
side.
That issue is the eXtortlonate
tariff of the trusts and fat-fryers
and the refusal of the republican
party to reform it in accordance
with it's promises.
We have heard no serious COM
plaint against Mr.. Taft except upon
this score. When it is charged that
he has served the interests and re-
iected the cOunsels and commands
of the people, this is what is meant.
He has been strangled in the COILS
of the tariff
Yet on the vital question of ottl-
cial ability and obedience to the
popular. will in this matter Mr..
Roosevelt is as silent as Boss Al
drich, Boss Payne or Boss Dalzell.
Like them, he upholds the eAtortloH-
ate tariff. Like them, he draws his
campaign supplies from It's pene-
ficiaries. Like them, he mas no
apologies to offer to people decel'-
ed and betrayed.
The chief difference between Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt is personal.
Mr.. Roosevelt has introduced a
socialistic and court-smashlng pro-
gramme for novelty, but on the SUI
preme issue between People ana
Privilege as embodied in the tarlff,
he and Mr.. Taft occupy the same
ground. They are fighting each
other; they are fighting for control
of the republican organization TOT
ambitious reasons, but neither OF
them is fighting the public enemies
who write our tax laws Tor their
own profit.
Aside from the third term and the
mean personalities involved, . the
worst thing about the new-party
movement, as it has turned out, is
that it has wrecked the true Pro-
gressive party. That party was
honest. 1t attacked privilege and
extortion in the tariff. 1t had no de-
lusions about good trusts. 1t did
not favor a dictatorship.
The best that the spurious pro-
gressive party can promise is that
the proceeds of the tariff excuses
shall go "straight into the pockets
of the wage Garner" That was the
bait that Mark Hanna used. That
policy is precisely what Mr.. TAFT
claimed to be forwarding when he
signed the Payne-Aldrich bill and
when he vetoed the Democratlc-R Re
publican bills reducing the cost OF
living. 1t has been the false excuse
for tariff extortions from the first.
We do not believe that there IS
room enough in this country, vast
as it is, for two Mark Hanna parties.
