SLEUTHS TRAIL ,i.f
JEWEL ROBBERS

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. ia
corps of outside detectives arrived
here today to assist the local police
in capturing the robbers who late
yesterday held up three clerks in the
John j. Thompson jewelry store here,
killed two of them, perhaps fatally
injured the third, and escaped with
about $1,000 worth of jewelry. Al
though the clerk regained conscious
ness last night long enough to give q
good description of the robbers the pc,
lice had NO definite clues as to their
whereabouts. Several suspects were
arrested. but later released.
The victims Of the shooting were
John N. Thompson and Edward Smith
who were killed, and Paul Townsend
the matchmaker, who is in precari
GUS condition. After the shooting the
robbers stopped only long enough tt
gather up few diamonds ant
watches and then escaped in the
crowded streets.

HANS SCHMIDT
CHANGES front
Says District Attorney Must
Find Head of His Victim
to Fix Guilt
ATTORNEY CONFERS
His Lawyer Will Ask for Alienist l.,
Pass On the Murderer's
Sanity.

New York. Sept. 2O.-Although up
to the present time he has expressed
a desire to be placed on trial inn
mediately, Hans Schmidt confessed
murder of Anna Aumuller, today
made a slight change of front
In a conference with his counsel,
Alphonse Koelble. in the Tombs,
Schmidt explained:
"The District Attorney will never
be able to put me in the electric
chair. He's up against it and he
knows it,"
What makes you say that?" asked
Koelbel.
why he hasn't found the head of
that body, has he, and he cannot
prove it was Anna Aumuller unless
he can show the head, can ne? Sup
pose l did admit the killing. What
of that? He's got to show court
that l did it, and without the body
being positively identified. he is going
to fail
Il won't try to stop him from con-
victing, however. / have nothing to
fear from the electric chair. l am
willing to have it all ended right
now"
Despite Schmidt's belief that the
District Attorney will not be able to
prove the corpus delecti, Assistant
District Attorney Delehanty tonight
pointed out that there is. sufficient
evidence in hand to prove the murder
of Anna Aumuller, aside from
Schmidt's confession.
Attorney Keolbel, on the other
hand, is confident that the reading
of the confession in court will prove
to any jury that Schmidt is insane.
He. will confer with DR.. Delehanty
Monday on the appointment of an
alienist to examine Schmidt.
whatever the ailenist says VI
stand by said Mr.. Koebel tonight.
Schmidt refused to answer any
questions regarding the stolen death
certificate blanks which were found
in his possession. He admitted that
he had marked certain members OF
the congregation of st. Joseph's for
euthanasia because he believes they
would be better off dead.
II intended to help them to bet
ter world" he said. MANY of them
l know would be better off In the
next world than in this. I believe
in euthanasia. I know many persons
who wish to die, but cannot. This
is one of the great social problems.

CANNOT WORK
!. But EIGHT HOURS
Atty,-G Moose Ruled
Railroads Must Obey
|. Act of 1907.
COMPLAINTS MADE
Commissioner of Labor Clary VIII In.
vestigate Charges and Pro.
ssa.- coed Against Companies.

Little Rock,( Sept 2O.-Railroads
throughout the state cannot work
their telegraph operators over eight
hours day, otherwise they are liable
to a fine of $500 for each violation.
according to an opinion rendHred Sat-
urday by Attorney General w. l..
Moose.
Operators on the Iron Mountain and
other railroads throughout the state
claimed in complaint filed with
John G. Clary, commissioner of labor
that they were being worked as much
as r., IA and in some instances Is
hours day.
Will Probe Complaints.
Mr.. Clary is going to investigate
each and every one of the complaints,
hut before doing so asked Attorney
General Moose whether or not act 2S2
of the acts Of 1907 was applicable to
the case.
Mr.. Moose gave the following opin-
ion:
II have received your letter of the
10Th inst, asking whether railroad
companies which require telegraph
operators to be on duty from a. m.
to p m., with one hour for dinner,
would be violating the law, as found
in act 282 of the acts of 1907. This
act makes it unlawful for any person,
corporation, their agents or officials
operating a railroad within this state,
to permit any telegraph or telephone
operator to be on duty for more than
eight hours in any consecutive "a
hours. The penalty prescribed is a
fine of $500 for each violation. If any
railroad, corporation or it's agents are
permitting telegraph operators to be
on duty more than eight hours in any
"a hours, they ire subject to indict-
ment and punishment under the act
mentioned above" ~
Roads VIII Be Prosecuted. .
With the opinion to guide him, Mr.
Clary will start Monday morning to
visit all of the railroads. The opera
tors will be talked to as we'll as the
officials Of the road, and in every in
stance where an operator has been
forced to work over eight hours, the
road in question will be dealt with
harshly.

That if it Carries Duty
Report Will Be Rejected.
B AGGING IS FREE
But House Members Are Insisting On
Duty For Burlap.-Bananas
Shifted.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Yielding on
number of it's amendments to the
demands of the House conferees on
the Tariff. Bill the Senate managers
today gave the House members to
understand that under no circum-
stances will they permit burlaps to
be placed on the dutiable list. SUI
ficient senator's from the south have
notified the committee that the con-
ference report would be rejected If
the Senate yields that provision, but
Senate managers have no desire to
imperil The bill by agreeing to a re-
port that cannot be sustained.
When the dutible list finally was
laid aside this afternoon the House
was still contending for dutible bur.
laps, although it had won it's vic
tory for free cotton bagging.
The principle items still in dispute
are lead and zinc bearing ores, bur-
laps, the date when the wool sche-
dule shall 60 into effect, cotton
thread and cotton cloth and denatur-
ed alcohol.
The most prominent concessions
made by the Senate today was the
shifting of bananas from the dutiable
to the free list.
Senator Simmons expressed the
hope tonight that final report could
be made Wednesday next. but admit
ted that full agreement by that date
might be impossible.

SULZER LAWYERS
CLAIM VICTORY
Many Developments Yester-
day in Big Impeach-
ment Trial.
GOVERNOR IS ILL
Garrison, Suffers Press Agent, Sc.
cures Habeas Corpus Writ
Retmrnable Monday.

Albany, Sept. 20.--Developmeats
today in connection with the i'm
parchment trial of Governor Sulzer,
which is to be resumed on Monday
were:
Valentine Taylor, legal adviser of
the impeachment governor. denied
that there has been any admission by
Sulzer of the right of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Glynn to act as governor.
Friends of Sulzer strongly denied
the persistent rumor that he contem-
plates resigning.
Sulzer was announced as being in
disposed today and under the care of
his wife, who has decided that he
needs a few days Of complete rest.
Louis Sarecky, former confidential
secretary to Sulzer, left Buffalo to-
day after announcing that he would
appear at the impeachment trial and
factly willing to testify regarding the
Sulzer campaign fund.
A writ of habeas corpus was secur-
ed tonight by counsel for James c.
Garrison, the Sulzer press agent, who
was committed to the Albany peni-
tertiary for contempt of the assem-
bly,. The writ was made returnable
Monday.
Until then Garrison must remain in
Jail. The application for the writ
asserts that Garrison has been per-
factl willing to testifi regarding the
charges OF bribery of Assemblymen,
but has insisted on having, counsel.
When the trial is resumed Monday,
Louis Marshall, of counsel for Sulzer,
will resume his argument against the
right of the legislature to impeach at
an extra session. The vote on this
question will probably. be taken
Tuesday morning.
Counsel for. the. .impeached COVER
nor claims they have won two dis
tinct victories this far in the trial.
The have succeeded in focusing pu5-
lie attention upon Senators Frawley,
Sanners and Ramsperger by ques-
tioning their right to sit in the i'm
parchment court after they had
drawn up the accusations against
the man on trial.
| Judge Cullen, 1t Is claimed, has, by
his presentment, made the retirement
of the three challenged senators an
obligation of honor despite the vote
against their withdrawal. The other
victory claimed by the Sulzer forces
is the exclusion of hearsay evidence
under the rules adopted by the court.
An absolute denial of the charge
that icampaign contributions were
used in Wall street speculations. will
be entered and, the burden of proof
will fall upon the accusers.
Following the vote on the legality
of the impeachment, 1t is announced
that the next move will be to ask that
the three articles of impeachment re-
ferring to the use Of campaign funds
be stricken out. 1t will be claimed
that these are not impeachable acts
because they ante-date the election
and the Inauguration Of Sulzer al
governor.
No more clashes between Governor
