Lee McClung has resigned as treas
urer of the United States and his re-
signation was accepted by President
Taft
Mr.. McClung handed his resignation
to the president at conference at the
White House, and its acceptance was
announced by the president from the
executive Offices, with the explanation
that Mr.. McClung had resigned volun-
tarily.

dent, will succeed McClung and that
Charles D. Hilles, Republican national
chairman, will resume his old position
as secretary to the president.
Mr.. McClungs resignation becomes
effective as soon as his successor is

retirement in any way, but it was ru-

Discovery has been made of the
plight of four penitentiary prisoners
in Columbus, Ohio, who, because they

the state prison to the hospital, have
been unlawfully held for years.
John H. Whaler, sent to the peni-
tentiary in 1874, has been confined for
thirty-three years after his term ex-
pired. l. B. Chidester, a forger, re-
ceived in 1878, should have been re-
leased in 1884. Jerry Carte, SEN
fenced for arson, has been detained
twenty-four years. Charles Willis
should have been released twenty
seven years ago.
The prisoners will be transferred
Immediately to their respective coun-
ties to be probated. Their plight was

Bulletins received in London from
several British correspondents from

battle at the Tchatalja lines is pro

the Bulgarian left wing has been re-
pulsed.
The French ambassador telegraphed
that the battle was still in progress.
Still another message said that in
view of the heavy cannonade all day
the ambassadors had decided to land
detachments of bluejackets from the
foreign warships to guard the streets
leading to Pera. The small warship
Lorely was assigned to protect the
railway station.

MURDERER CONFESSES TO
KILLING TWELVE BOYS
CONFESSION MADE BY MAIL AND
TALE PARTLY CONFIRMED
Postal Card Told Buffalo Police Where
Dismembered Body of One Victim
Was Hidden.

Dismembered Body of One Victim
Was Hidden.
The dismembered corpse of seven
year-old Joseph Josephs, murdered by
an unknown maniac, was taken from
the vault of an outhOuse in the rear
of a saloon on the Ridge road at Lack
awanna, N. Y.
The body was found in sixteen
parts, the skull being the last portion
recovered. The flesh had entirely dis
appeared from it.
1t does not appear that the body had
been carved or chopped up, but that
il had become dismembered in the
twelve months it had lain in the slime
of the outhouse, where it was cram
med by the murderer after he had
first assaulted and then strangled the
little Syrian lad.
The Josephs boy had been missing
for a year, and his body was found by
means of postal cards written at in
tervals to the Buffalo police and the
newspapers. The last card described
the spot where the body of the lad was
buried.
One of the postal cards written by
the depraved murderer of the boy
stated that he had killed twelve other
boys. The police at first were not in
clined to believe this, but Chief of
Police Regan declared that after COM
municatiOn with other cities from
which postal cards had been mailed
by the murderer that the boastful muir
derer probably is telling the truth in
regard to the number of crimes he has
committed.
Postal cards received from time to
time since the disappearance of the
Josephs boy were dated in Boston,
New York, Washington and Philadel-
phia.
Offers of rewards aggregating $500
failed to give any trace of the boy,
but the postal cards telling of his
death appeared quite regularly at po-
lice headquarters, at the home of his
parents and at the business house of
the boys fother, who is a wealthy
Syrian merchant.
For a time these cards were ignored
by the police, but when last Friday
one was received describing the exact
spot where the body was buried the
police and medical examiners began
an investigation, which resulted in the
finding of the body, piece by piece
The last part found was the head.
<fmmediatelv after the hodV WAS nm
earthed the police appealed to the
postal inspectors to try and trace tn;
writer of the cards
The murderer writes that he is (;
thirty-second degree Mason, and de
clares that on Wednesday he will re
turn to Buffalo and give himself VI
to the police. This, it is thought, il
merely a blind to forestall a searcl
for him.
Declaring that two other boys wer
attacked by him, the writer gives tn
places where the attacks occurred
and in one instance, that of a news
boy stationed at an outlying stree
car transfer point, the police hav
verified this statement.
Since the finding of the Joseph
boys body the police are looking u
records of children's disappearance
eVithin the last eighteen months an
find that seven, all boys under te
years, have disappeared and have ne
since been heard from.

tim BIeeds to Death.
Accidentally shot by his companion
John Oliver, sixteen years old, Albert
Linton, eighteen years old, bled tc
death in a field near Wagontown,
Chester county, Pa.
The two boys, who had been play
mates since childhood, were hunting
rabbits. AS Oliver was changing his
gun from one shoulder to the other il
was accidentally discharged and the
load entered Linton's body on the left
side above the thigh.
Alone in a clearing, several miles
from house, and his companion dy
ing from the wound, young Oliver
stood beside his fatally wounded com
panion and screamed for assistance.
Two hunters in a nearby woods
heard the cries and responded. Physi
cfals, who arrived after the victim had
died, say he would have possibly lived
had the flow of blood been stopped in
time.
Young Oliver went to WagontowD
and gave himself up to Squire E. W.
Grubb. Deputy Coroner Grubb held
an inquest and verdict of accidental
death was rendered. Oliver was then
released.
Wilson Will Call Extra Session.
President-elect Wilson announced
that he will call congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April Is of next year to revise the
tariff
In his statement, made public in
New York on the eve of his departure
for a four weeks vacation in Bermuda,
he says that he has determined upon
this course not only because he was
elected on a platform which declared
for an immediate downward revision
of the tariff schedules, but also be-
cause he feels it is due to the bust
ness interests of the country that they
should be relieved of all uncertainty
as to what the general purpose of the
incoming administration at Washing
ton is. 49,
Beyond his bald statement that he
will call an extraordinary session the
president-elect has made no comment
on the situation other than that so fal
as he was concerned the pledges o.
his party and it's platform would bt
carried out.
Governor Wilson sailed for Bermuda
on the steamship Bermudian and will
rest there until Dec. 16. One of hi
first acts on arriving in Bermuda will
be to call upon the governor of Ber
muda and to request him that he b.
permitted to spend his time ther
without recognition Of his officia
status, either as governor of New Jel
sey or as president-elect of the Unite
States.
