SANBORN CASE
bALKSP0L|CE

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. W.H-Police
sought in vain today the motive of
the person or persons who fired two
shots into the chest of Henry F.
Sanborn, wealthy railroad executive
and midwest aristocrat, and buried
him head down in a shallow grave.
Detectives had followed the trails
OF Sanborn IS career and found lit
tie or nothing to aid their search.
Magnitude Almskaar, his 27-year-
old fiancee, was able to give little
assistance through a long question
ing. She broke down finally while
Identifying Sanborn'S body at the
Queens county morgue. Detectives
said she would not be questioned
further when she left the morgue
to go to her home.
Although police wished to ques-
ton the beautiful blonde whose
photographs were found in San
born's office, they were ready to
abandon the woman angle. -
Sanborn IS business life seemed
even more impeccable. Despite his
large income and his family back
ground which put him on intimate
terms with prominent persons, he
lived quietly in a Y M. G. A. DORM
tory and had few friends.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. W.D - A
theory that Henry F.. Sanborn
murdered railroad official. was
killed when he resisted an attempt
to kidnap him was advanced today
by Charles Sullivan, assistant dis
trict attorney of Queens county.
1t was pointed out that on the
day he disappeared, July II, San
born told business associates a man
was waiting to take him to Long
Island. He drew $4,000 from a
bank, of which only 1888 remained
when his body was found.
Sanborn was big, rugged man
who would have put up a strong
fight. He was killed by two bullet
wounds, but he also suffered blow

refused either to issue the charter or
to permit the Governor to do so.
In 1705 another attempt at insur-
rection was made by discontented
debtors and others who endeavored,
with the help of Indians and Negroes,
to seize the government and discharge
their membranes by legislating for
their own benefit. The provincial court

number of other buildings. Richard
Clarke, the ring leader, was arrested
together with a number of others and
outlawed and attainted by the Assem-

The stir was terrific. Clarke was

is nothing to show whether or not the
sentence was ever carried out. For a

however, the populace shivered and

BLACKISTON AND SEYMOUR, AND THE RESTOR-
ALTON UNDER HART
By KATHERINE SCARBOROUGH
In the Baltimore Sunday Sun

Annapolis at this time was quick
ening with the spirit which was to
make it, within few years, the most
finished and the most sophisticated
city in the colonies. Close on the
heels of the contract for rebuilding
the State House another was let for
the construction of an armory near
by and the city possessed, when they
were finished, two of the finest public
buildings in America. An aristocratic
flavor was provided for the interior
of each by portraits of Queen Anne.
In the armory the features of Lord
Baltimore, set down in oil, faced those
of his sovereign. The armory, lighted
by a gilded chandelier hung from the
center of the ceiling, furnished
splendid setting for the balls for
which it was frequently requisitioned.
By this time the wealthy planters Of
the outlying districts already had be-
gun the construction of town houses
in the little capital and sedan chairs
were making their appearance on the
streets.
Governor Seymour himself seems,
however, to have been but meagerly
provided for. No official home had
yet been erected for the chief execu-
tive of the colony. He was domi-
ciled in rented house so urgently in
need of repairs that he was forced to
appeal to the Assembly to make it
habitable, reminding them at the same
time that Governors of other colonies
were adequately sheltered by consid
crate public.
Temperamentally, this legate from
the Queen seems to have been very
straight laced and blue-nosed to
degree. He was militant Protestant,
his bias along this line being mani
tested soon after his arrival in the
colony, when, in an outburst of splen-
etc vehemence he delivered bitter
rebuke to two priests charged with
saying mass in the chapel at st.
! Mary's, ordered them to cease their
priestly activities and to remember
that they were on sufferance as unde-
sirables. He concluded by warning
them that he was "an English Prot
| estant gentleman who could never
equivocate." The chapel, by his COM
mand, was sealed by the Sheriff, who
kept the key, and the next ASSEMBLY,
still imbued with the dread of "Pop-
ery," passed a law subjecting any
bishop, priest or Jesuit who should
say mass or administer the rites Of
the church within the province to a
fine of fifty pounds and Imprisonment
for six months. Repetition of the Of
| tense subjected the offender to trans
portation to England to undergo the
penalties provided there "for the fur
Their preventing the growth of Pop
cry"
This statute was relaxed several
months later to permit the celebra-
ton of mass in private families Of the
/ Catholic communion. Out of this priv
ilege grew the custom of building
chapels under the same roof and con-
nected with the dwellings of Catholic
families such as the one which sur
wives today at Dougroregan Manor,
once the home of Charles Carroll of
Carrollton.
Equally as strong in his aversion to
Catholicism was the Governors rigid
ity of moral outlook. Members of the
Established Church as we'll as dis

The great pestilences which had
scorged the Maryland colonists and
deciminated their cattle during the lat
ter part of the administration of Gov
ernor Nicholson were on the wane
when that official was transferred to
Virginia during the latter part of De-
cember, 1898, and the government de-
volved upon Nathaniel Blackiston.
The arrest of the plague and the
restoration to health of many of the
colonists were credited by Governor
Blackiston, in his initial address to
the Assembly, to the perspicacity Of
Governor Nicholson in establishing
Cool Springs, in St. Mary's county,
the first sanatorium in Maryland. The
combination of this rudimentary pro-
phylaxis and the healing properties
of the waters had effected, the new
Governor said, "many wonderful and
signal cures"
With the wane of the epidemic, life
in Maryland assumed an even tenor
of it's existence. The two major eX-
elements which punctuated the uni
versal calm were the importation by
William Bladen contingent upon his
appointment as the first public printer
of the province) of a printing press
and complete type setting apparatus
upon which public documents were re-
corded for years thereafter, and the
partial destruction of the State House
by lightning on July 10, 1899, while
the House of Delegates was in session.
James Crawford, a member from Cal
vert county, was killed and a number
of others injured. Doors and win
dows were shattered and the upper
part of the building caught fire. Gov
ernor Blackstone capacity for clear
thinking and prompt action apparent
" saved the building from total loss,
since it is recorded that the blaze
twas presently quenched by the dill
gence and industry of his Excellency,"
apparently doubling for the occasion
as an impromptu fire department.
Five years later, after Governor
Blackiston, on the plea of ill health,
had returned to England, and had
been commissioned by the colonists to
represent their interests before Par
lament and the crown, the State
House did actually burn to the ground.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
Governor John Seymour, who sue
ceeded Blackiston, waXed sarcastic on
the subject in his address to the As
senbly soon afterward and informed
the Assemblymen that "the late mel
ancholy incident might have been pre-
vented had my often admonitions took
place, for / never saw any public
building left solely to Providence but
in Maryland. Ihope this said exper-
fence will awaken your care for time
to come"
The Legislature winched and ar
ranged Immediately for rebuilding.
"Mr. W. Bladen," the architect of the
other public buildings, was given the
contract at a sum not to exceed one
thousand pounds and any material
he might salvage from the wreck OF
the old State House. During the re-
construction the Governor and Coun'
ell met in the Treasury Building and
the House of Delegates, summoned by
the beating of drum, held its SEES
sions at the home of Col. Edward Dor
sey.

State Police Called

Tannery Strike
1000 Strikers Solid,

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, Oct. 81
Fifteen state police were added to the
force of police and strikebreakers as
the tannery workers strike, now in
its fourth week grows more militant,
The 1000 workers have tied up the
tannerieS in this IMPORTANT leather
center. They are striking for recog-
milton of their independent union,
the first ever to be formed in this
company-owned town, and for better
conditions.
Windows in several plants were
smashed and a policeman injured
yesterday after the pickets fought
militantly to prevent scabs from
taking their jobs.
The struggle is now turned against
the MIRA, since the N.RA mediator
here has openly sought the aid OF
the police and the city officials to
break the strike and has instigated
the bosses to refuse to accept the
modified proposals of the strikers
The strikebreaking activities Of the
MIRA. has steeled the strikers to a
more determined fight for their I'M
ion and their demands.
Mass picketing has been intensified
and the strikers are Increasingly

heads, on receiving complaints, tell
the men that this work adds to their
self respect by making them feel that
they are really working for it rather
than thinking that they are accept

scale of the workers.
On talking to the men one finds
the men disguised at the deplorable

start arguing with one of the clerks.

Negro Lynched in
Georgia Is 35th
Victim for the Year

LUMPKIN, Ga, Oct. 3l.-Sevis
Davis, 45-year old Negro, died in
the county Jail here on Oct. %, of
wounds inflicted by a small gang
of lynchers.
Davis was accused Of attacking
ten-year- old Negro girl. The real
charge against him was too great
friendiiness with Negro girl on
whom leading white man in town
had his eye. He was taken from the
Richland City jail, dragged into the
nearby woods, shot and severely
beaten. He was left in the woods
in dying condition. He died
few hours later.
This is the thirty fifth lynching
reported this year, the lynehing of
George Armwood in Princess Anne,
Maryland, being the 34th according
to records kept in the National Of
