SAY HONOR
SHOULD GO TO
MONAGHAN
Some Of His Friends Think He
Should Have LOOk-in for
Revenue Job
PLACE TO GO TO KENT
COUNTIAN INSTEAD

The way is hard for a United
States Senator on the majority side
who holds in his hands the distribu-
tion of patronage in his State. Will
lard Salisbury, Senator from Della
ware, is finding it out. From the
time of his election by the State Leg
islature last spring, after deadlock
of several days duration, he has been
constantly in "hot water over the
distribution of patronage in this
State.
Senator Saulsbury's troubles date
back to the days of the campaign pre-
ceeding the last general election,
when ex-State Senator Thomas M.
Monaghan was a candidate for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, and
who was the only State candidate on
that ticket to meet defeat. Monag-
hans friends Immediately declared
that this defeat was due to trickery
on the part of some Salisbury Demo-
Gratis and the Monaghan adherents
have not been in pleasant frame OF
mind since.
The postoffice was the first thing to be
considered in the light of a political
salve TO heal the factional wound, aud
before the appointment by Senator
Salisbury many admirers OF Mr.. Mona
CHAN felt he should be given the office,
although Mr.. Monaghan was not an ac-
tive candidate for the postmastership.
But the appointment went to James j.
English.
And now the friends OF Mr. Monaghan
are murmuring among themselves over
the latest action of the Democratic SEN
ator in his support of the candidacy of
Alfred Raughley, of Harrington, to the
position of collector of internal revenue
for the district embracing Maryland and
Delaware, which, should bill now pend
ing before Congress become effective, will
pay $4,000 per annum
While Mr. Monaghan is by no means
candidate for this office, and has
made absolutely no effort whatever
to be regarded in the light of q dark
horse" aspirant yet some of his
friends are displeased over the fact
that Senator Salisbury apparently has
not considered Mr.. Monaghan in con-
nection with this appointment. While
they would be glad to see the appoint
ment Of collector come to Delaware
yet they hold that as the choice of g
large part of the Democratic party
lO -lUlc oldLE. MI moHdEhdh - Nil7
titled to same recognition from th'
senator. II is also pointed out tha
Mr.. Raughley was originally not {
Wilson man. although he later came
into the Wilson ranks, at the Balu
more convention, where the unit rul'
held him in line with Salisbury, whit
engineered the Delaware delegation.
On the contrary, they point out, Mr.
Monaghan has always been a stauncl
Wilson admirer. which fact If for NJ
other reason, should entitle him 4
an equal chance for recognition b.
Salisbury when he advocates the can
didacy of a Delaware man for the of
6ce.
Senator Salisbury, however, ha
tined up behind Raughley, apparentl
with no consideration for any othe
Candidate so far as is known and tn
Monaghan forces will have to con
tent themselves with swallowing tn
pill. and refreshing their recollection
I'm future campaigns as they did a
the city election.

NEW YORK, Sept. &C. Before many
hours have elapsed the police expect to
show con,uspcly that Father Haas
Schmidt, assistant priest OF st. Joscph's
Church, who confessed TO the murder on
Anna Amuellcr, was involved in an eN-
tensiVc scheme 20 manufacture counter
felt ton-dollar bills.
DIR. Ernest A Muret. the young dent

and held on a charge OF carrying iire-
arms. pending a most complete uvesti-
CATION into the counterfeiting plan re-
vealed when detectives raided a Hat rent
ed, II is charged, by Muret and Schmidt,
where a printing press and ali parapher-
MALTA for making bogus notes was found.
Miss Bertha Ieck, arrested with DR..
Muret, was discharged, as the police
were convinced She knew nothing of the
plans OF the two men. John J. Henry,
of the government secret service, exam
ined Muret during the day and II is un-
derstod that TIE dentist practically adj
mitted that he and Schmidt planned 70

ten dollar bills Whether they had ae-
tually turned ont any OF the money has
not vet been determined, but samples,
only partially finished which were found
were very poor limitations.
Muret was held I'm $4,000 bail. which
he was unable TO furnish, and Vas
remanded Detectives today were
making a searching investigation tC
/ determine whether Muret might know
anything of the murder of Anna Aumu
eller. If il should develop that hs
was concerned only in the counterfeit

be turned over to the government au
thorities.
Father Evers. chaplain of thl
/ Tombs. visited Schmidt in his eel
again today Father Evers said h
willingly talked of the murder ant
discussed its most gruesome detail
indifferently. Because IL appeared &
him that Schmidt translated question
asked him from English to Germai
i'm his mind before answering, Fathe
Evers said he suggested that a Ger
man priest be called to talk TO him
Schmidt replied that he had no de
sire to see anyone.
He talked of a great human sac
rifice," said Father Evers, and told
story of a man in Bavaria who ha
made such a sacrifice
Schmidt said this man was calle
upon to sacrifice his wife and daugh
ter and killed them both. Later IN
man told about the sacrifice in confes
sional, said Schmidt Father Ever
said Schmi/s $ mind seemed to dive
on the subject of human sacrifice.
Following the arrest Of Muret, Coz
oner Feinberg said the discovery {
the counterfeiting plant convinced hiI
that Schmidt was not insane. Hi
mind is so keen, Feinberg contendei
that he not only planned the bruti
murder Of Anna Aumueller, but ha
[ gained a knowledge Of forgery and th
