seven. The remainder Of the lectures
were delivered near enough to the city
to leave in the afternoon sometimes as

deem it desirable or necessary to do 20
and have not in the least altered my
plans made ct the time / assumed the
duty Of my Office. Criticism directed
against my lecturing Is no more bitter
than criticism have undergone often
times and for other things Iduring my
connection with politics. Part Of the
criticism is malicious, part is partisan,
part is based on misinformation. That
which is malicious, will answer itself,
that which is partisan will be accepted

Emation will cease when the critic is
better informed. No man should en-
Ter public life if he objects to criticism

permits criticism Of him to prevent

To Stop Faking
Caused the Order
lRy limited Press Association


New York, Oct. 3-The general dis
pute between the players and mag
mates over the players proposal to
write baseball stories on the world
series for tire papers called forth the
following statement from President
johnson of the American league:
The purpose of the commissions
ruling forbidding players writing for
the papers is to stop the players from
taking. If they write bonafide arti-
cles, let them go to the commission
headquarters after the game. We
will furnish the stenographers, to
whom they can dictate and will keep
copies of their stories and if the pa
pers want these stories without sub
stantial changes the commission will
withdraw it's objections.
The controversy is unchanged to-
day. The players still assert they
will write for the papers, the COM
mission declaring if the players re-
port the first game it will cancel the
remaining games of the series.

Schmidt Creates
Furor at Inquest
(By United Press Association


New York, Oct. 3-Hans Schmidt,
confessed murderer of Anna Aumul-
Ter, created a panic among spectators
at the inquest of his victim today. He
was pitiable object, with week.
growth of beard and dirty and wrink'-
ed clothing and staring eyes.
Schmidt sat huddled in chair
when Coroner Feinberg announced
that the girls corpse would be bur
led in the potters field unless some
one furnished the funds for burial.
Schmidt leaped to his feet, shaking
apparently with rage and his eyes
staring. Jerking something from mis-
pocket he wrapped it in furious haste
in a rosary and hurled it at the co.,
oner striking newspaper reporter
in the case. He shrieked terrifedly
as he threw and the spectators were
frightened and rushed from the doors,
Sis policemen forced Schmidt into his
seat. The rosary was unwrapped and
revealed two dollar bill, evidently
intended 10y the murderer as a con-
tribution toward the girls funeral
The coroner's inquest began in the
Hans Schmidt murder case on the
body Of Anna Aumuller with the fol-
lowing millionaires on the jury:
Theodore Shonts, Vincent Aster, Mar
Gus Low, J, G. Greenhut, Mortimer
Reginsberg, George w. Fairchlds and
Chas. Stickley.
DR.. George Simpson testified that
he examined pieces of the girls body
and believes she was alive when she
was dismembered The detectives
who arrested Schmidt detailed his con-
fession and showed a sketch of the
body he drew, illustrating the dis
memberment.
Attorney koebbe for Schmidt de
nounced the coroner for the statement
regarding the burial and said Miss
Aumuller had $500 in bank at the
time of her death and the coroner
knew it. He also knew there was not
the least danger of pauper burial.
The statement was made for effect
Then some one in the court laughed,
which was responsible for the re
grettable incident. Both my client and
regret it deeply When had quieted
Schmidt | asked him the trouble. He
said. The fools have no right to laugh
at me-"
Schmidt sat quietly in his chair af,
ter the outbreak, ignoring the pro-
ceedings and finally offering his hands
to the officer for the irons when the
inquest was finished.
