Pastor Burned to Death.

Paulina, Iowa, Sept. REV. H.
Greene, pastor of the Lutheran
church in Germantown, Iowa, early
to-day was burned to death before
the eyes of his children and several
other persons while pinned beneath
wrecked motor car. The blaze
was started from a lantern with
which his rescuers were working.
The car was driven by August
Pauling, of Germantown. In it were
children of both Rev. Mr.. Greene
and Mr.. Pauling.
About six miles from Paulina the
steering gear refused to work and
the automobile jumped from small
bridge. Mr.. Greene was pinned be-
meath the wreck. The children were
thrown clear. Mr.. Pauling was Sc
riously injured.
The cries of the children brought
persons in the neighborhood to the
rescue. One had a lantern. Gasoline
from the oil tank of the machine had
spread to the werck. The man holding
the lantern dropped it. Instantly the
wreck was in flames.

Massey, the veteran who was sus-
pended from the Confederate home
for 80 days several weeks ago after
he had organized an Ira B. Jones
club was tried this morning by the

manently expelled from the home 1t
is expected that legislative investl-
cation will follow.

Committee Decides.

Newberry, Sept. 1.-THE county
Democratic executive committee to-
day postponed the second primary for
county officers in Newberry county,
which had been ordered to be held
on Tuesday. The test vote showed
21 in favor of postponement and IL

only one more primary, instead OF
two. 1t was also urged that under
the order of the State chairman the
ballot boxes and all records were
tied up; that the contest of Judge
Jones had charged fraud in every
precinct in South Carolina; that If
fraud was proved in any county af-
fecting results, it could affect county
races in that county, and that it
would be better to have the whole
matter settled in one primary, at the
time of the second primary to be Or
dered by the State committee. County
Chairman Fred H. Dominick, Mr..
Eugene S. Blease and others favor
ed postponement, and Mr.. Joseph L.

Woman's Body Mutilated.

San Francisco, Sept. with the
head nearly severed from her body,
and arms and trunk frightfully slash
ed, Lydia Berger, known as the most
beautiful woman of night life in this
city, was found in her bed to-day by
her maid. The walls of the room in
which the body lay were covered with
blood and the carpet saturated.
Thousands of dollars worth of
diamonds worn by the woman are
missing, and it is believed robbery
was the motive. 1t is thought before
death the woman tried to give an
alarm, as the window curtains and
the window panes are covered with
bloody finger prints.

MOTORCYCLE KILLS SIX.
Five Thousand People Witness Trag.
edy as Daring Texan Takes Plunge.

Newark, N. j., Sept. 8.-Eddie
Hasha, of Waco, TsE., holder of sew
eral worlds records for motorcycle
racing, plunged over the rail of the
course at the new Newark motor
dome into a crowd late this after
noon causing the death of six per-
sons, including himself, while six
are dying and thirteen are badly in
jured.
The only two of the six dead posi-
lively identified up to late hour to-
night were Hasha and Johnny AL
bright, a Denver motorcyclist who
was riding third in the race. The
other four dead were boys and young
men among the spectators. Five
thousand spectators were witnessing
the finish of four-mile free-for-all
race when the daring Texan rider,
doing 90 miles an hour, took his ia
tai plunge. He was riding high on
the bank of the track when the wheel
of his heavy machine swerved and
struck the upper rail. He was pitched
head first so feet into the air. He
must have been instantly killed in
the collision. His body was shapeless
from broken bones when it was pick
ed up almost at the feet of his wife,
seated among men and boys in the
bleachers.
Albright was thrown head first in
the other direction into the enclosure
of the track, when the champions s
wheel came sliding down the steep
bank and struck him. He lived in an
unconscious state for two hours after
his removal to a hospital.
The spectators injured were main
ly the men and boys who were lean
ing over the rail yelling encourage
ment to the riders. Some of the
spectators were hurled high into the
air and landed in the laps Of those
seated behind. A panic among the
spectators followed the tragedy.

ITS FINAL WORD"

The smoot organ had yesterday
morning what it calls its Final
Word as to the Morris Hanging
There ought not to have been from it's
side Of the case any word at all on
this question, for its course has been
so reprehensihle that any exploitation
of that course was bound TO result to
its discredit. The organ printed in con-
nection with its account of the Morris
execution lot Of falsehoods and sen.
sstionsl stuff that had no relation
whatever TO the execution, and that
gave a vicious and wholly unwarranted
view of the discipline at the peniteu
tiarv, pretending that there had been
found Just previous to the execution
two knives which it endeavored to in
fer Morris and Sirmay were about to
use for murder, All that wss mere
sensationalsm. The strips Of metal
which the organ called knives were not
knives at all, and were in no sense
dangerous, but were used by SirmaY
simply in perfecting what he supposed
70 be a patentable device
The organ says that "the people
were entitled to an unbiased report of
1T (referring to the execution) .'just
as it occurred, with or without the
gracious permission of those who were
clothed with a little brief authority
concerning it" But an unbiased re-
port OF the execution is precisely what
the Smoot organ did not give, while as
TO those who were in charge Of the ex-
ecution. IT has taken pains 10 explain
heretofore that Sheriff Sharp was the
man who had complete control, while
now and heretofore il has been making
thrusts at the penitentiary administra
tion wrhile considering the Morris case.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-05-07

II has professed great admiration for
Sheriff Sharp in this connection, and
has taken pains to explain that he was
the one in full charge. intimating that
it got its account from him or from
those ia his confidence. Now IT gives
him also a thrust as man whose "gra-
cious permission'' - it did not see fit to
ask, although admitting he was
:'cIothed with little brief authority
concerning it. -
The confusion of mind indicated by
the Smoot organ in regard to tho Nor
ris execution showed distinctly that
it has not at any time desired TO be
honest or accurate with regard to that
event: and if il has lost tremendously
in public prestige by reason Of its NAL
odorous and crooked course with regard
to that matter, the reason for that loss
is easily found in its own perverse
course with regard to the whole in
cident. It's explanations OF its course
leave it worse than before. and, as we
said, it would have been better if it
had said nothing whatever about it,
and thus obviated the necessity Of hay

word

caea that those who insist upon
coupling with the popular election Of
Senators the proposition to do away
with Congressional control over the
elections, are acting through unfair,
partisan motives, and are pursuing
their object in bad fnith.
So inconsistent and partisan was the
position occupied by Southern Senators
on this question, that it was indefensi-
BILE in either logic or law; and it is
now announced that il has been aban-
doned. and that the Democrats will
consent to the passage Of the amend

RooSEVELT's MENDACITY.

President Taft succeeded In putting
Roosevelt on the derensive in the Mary
land campaign, so much so that Roose-
welt is driven to the shameless course
Of insisting that President Taft was
for Lorimer until after the Illinois
primaries, although Roosevelt had a per
sonal letter from Taft long before, de.
claring his opposition to Lorimer.
Roosevelt admits that he got that let
ter; therefore his continued charge that
President Taft is for Lorimer is made
in defiance Of his own personal knowl-
edge to the contrary
Roosevelt continues also his deniaIs
and Justificatious with regard to the
Perkins trusts, holding that his course
In the Harvester case was quite cor
rect and lustifiable And yet the fact
Is that he yielded to the Perkins
threat that the Morgan interests would
oppose his administration if he prose.
cuted the Harvester trust, weakenin q
on his contemplated prosecution and
writing letter to the Attorney-Gen
cral directing that the suit be not
brought. In this connection, Roosevelt
also insists that Mr. Taft, while cabi.
net officer In the Roosevelt administra
ton, took ground against proseoutin G
the Harvester trust, and this in spite of
the fact that has been absolutely
proved, that Taft was not in the ooun-
try at the time, but was on visit 10
the Philippines, and in spite of the
fact as testified to by Mr. Root and
Mr.. Wilson, that the matter never came
before the cabinet at all Roosevelt,
in insisting upon his proved unvera
cious account of this matter, is occupy
ing r position which is most extraor.
dlnary and quite shameless.
Roosevelt also denies changing his
mind on various matters mentioned 1t
Is hard TO understand what he means by
this, because his declarations on a num-
Der Of matters are precisely contrary
now to what they have been in the
past He must mean, therefore, that he
was insincere at the time he made his
first declarations, or that he is in
sincere now; otherwise. MS change Of
mind is evident on the face Of it.
Finally, Col, Roosevelt loses all re-
straint over himself and all propriety
in treating of the action of the man
who is President Of the United States,
when he charges Mr.. Taft with know
ingly conniving at fraud and benefit
ing by barefaced frauds. IL seems
impossible that Roosevelt in sane mind
could be guilty of such atroclous indie
cencies as he is guilty of in these mat
ters; and we therefore charitabIy con.
clude that his mind is disordered, and
that he is bent on disrupting the Re.
