190.3. SIX CENTS A WEEK QUAY ADVOCATES DEEPER CHANNEL Improvement of Delaware Concerns Whole State LEAGUE TO WORK FOR ROOSEVELT Republican Body Will Conduct Meetings in Every Stale in the Ur.ion Senator Quay is a strong ndvocate of the proposition to deepen the channel of the Delaware river to thirty live feet and placing Philadelphia as a seaport in the same position as New York, Baltimore, Boston and other cities on the Atlantic Coast. Without reserve the Senator has proffered his services to the merchants of Philadelphia to advance any legislation they may send to Washington to provide funds and authorization for thirty five feet of clear water from Philadelphia to the sea. At Beaver yesterday Mr. Quay said: "Personally I should favor endeavoring to place the harbor of Philadelphia on an equality with Xew York, Baltimore, Boston and other Atlantic ports.

If the merchants of Philadelphia decide that they want a thirty fivc foot channel my services are at their disposal. I shall do anything' in my power to further the interests of the port. Philadelphia has always been very kind to me, and I shall be glad to reciprocate. "The channel question is not local to Philadelphia. It is a matter in which the entire State is vitally concerned, and to which every representative of the Comonwealth is bound to bring his most earnest, sincere endeavors."

FRICTION IN THE GOO GOO PARTY The Factions of the Democratic Contingent Are Jealons of Other The Democratic contingent of the Anti Machine party is giving the leaders of the Goo Goos many anxious hours. The factions are jealous of each other and refuse to work in harmony for Judge Jacobs and his associates on the ticket. One faction insists that the other is a detriment to the Anti Machine cause and that it must be kept in the background. The other faction accuses its rival of jealousy and ingratitude and refuses to take a back seat. The chairman of the Executive Committee of the.

Anti Machine party is trying to shift the responsibility for his treachery to the Democracy of Dauphin county on to ex Mayor Fritchey by accusing him of deserting William M. Hain, the Democratic nominee for Judge. The chairman's purpose in doing this is to justify his support of Judge Jacobs and to discredit ex Mayor Fritchey with those Democrats who refuse to desert their party nominees nd turn in for the Democrats on Ike Anti Machine ticket. The enormous fund raised by the Goo Goos to bolster up their failing cause is not attracting to their ticket the support of the active workers of either the Republican or Democratic parties. The Anti Machine party managers have made a close canvass of the county and are forced to concede that the sentiment is much stronger for the regular Republican ticket than they anticipated.

The Goo Goos have opened headquarters iat Middlr town. The callers have been so few that those in charge have already become very lonesome. The first night the headquarters were opened a few persons dropped in. Nearly all of these were Republicans who called out of curiosity and explained that they would not call again. MR.

Joseph Shivey, skull fractured by stone, also of Wagonville, Ky. The Shivey brothers were visiting Edward Richardson, of Billingsville, lnd' just across the State line from Oxford. The three came here to at tend the annual street fair and farm ers' exposition. The town was filled with strangers when these three men began carousing in a saloon. They pulled their revolvers on the bar tender, who ejected them, and then they proceeded to raise more trouble in other saloons.

When Marshal Woodruff undertook to arrest them he was mortally shot. A fusillade of bullets in the crowded streets fol I lowed the shooting of the marshal. Deputy Marshal Manrod was shot i twice when he took the place of his chief. During this fusillade in the street Ernest Jotten, while returning from his school to his boarding house was struck in the abdomen by a stray bullet, and he is now in a critical condition. Strung vp Thrice After the shooting the three men rah in different directions with crowds after each one and each was hit in the head with stones thrown by the pursuers.

Louis Shivey "was shot bv a citizen. The excitement was intense when the three men were finally lodged in jail after running a mile from the scene of the shooting. Edward Richardson was dismissed after it was shown that he had nothing to do with the shooting and was only accompanying the Shi vey brothers. the crowds that hart been pursuing the three men in different directions, finally concentrated about the jail and battered down the door and took Joseph Shivey out to lynch him.

State's Books are Always Open for Inspection "If you went to Harrisburg and asked the Auditor General and State Treasurer to look at their books, you would be shown the door and told that it was not your business to see those books," said ex Governor Pat tison in a speech at the Democratic notification meeting in Allentown on i Wednesday night. "There is no disposition to keep the books of this department closed to anybody," said Cashier Pearce, of the State Treasury, this morning. Then he said: "Nobody has ever been refused, and our books are always open. The present administration of the Department has never had a request from anybody to look at the books or papers, and I am quite sure has nothing to conceal." During State Treasurer Barnett's administration Democratic State Chairman Creasy made application for information at the Treasury Department which was to be used as campaign material against the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, Husband Kills Young Wife; Tragic End of a Jest Scranton, Oet. 2.

Ignatz Kle nent, of Olyphant, 22 years old, accidentally shot and killed his young bride of two weeks in front of his home yesterday. Klenent was married two weeks ago and had just returned from his wedding trip with his bride, who was but 17 years old. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon Klenent. announced his intention of going out hunting. He picked up his shotgun and kissing his wife good by started for the gate.

She followed him out into the yard and playfully called out: "See if you can shoot me, Ignatz." mob as his. ne was hauled from place to place with a rope about his neck and swung up three different times and yet escaped with his life. In their haste the mob did not pinion his arms or his legs and he managed to use them so as to prevent strangulation the first time he was hung. At another time he was let down so that, he might write a farewell letter to his wife and children, and at another time some one cut the rope. Before the mob could succeed in hanging him until he was dead, the otlicers grabbed him and rushed him off to the city prison, where the mob was held at bay for some time nnd finally order enough was secured for speeches to be made by ex Mayor Flannagan, Rev.

Dr. Thomas J. Potter and the brother of Marshal Woodruff. Negroes Insisted I'pon Death While the speeches were being delivered the oflicers spirited the Shivey brothers into the cellar of the jail and thence out through a 'coal shule and made good their escape with them to the Butler county jail at Hamilton, Ohio, a distance of fifteen miles. The mob then finding that it had been beaten, dispersed and the village was quiet during the latter part of the night.

This village, with its three large institutions of learning, is noted for its culture, and order, but it. was the scene over a year ago of the lynching of Henry Corbin, a negro, for the murder of Mrs. Horner and a striking feature of the attempted lynching last night was the part taken by the negroes, who protested every time the rope was slackened and Joseph Shivey was let down to say his prayers, write to his wife and children, or for any other purpose of mercy. Some of the negroes raised quite a disturbance while proclaiming that if the man had been a negro lie surely would have been lynched in the first place without anyone giving heed to his appeals. The mob was without a leader at any time, but still it would not have been foiled but for the appeals of brother to let the law take its course.

Have Served Terms for Shooting Louis Shivey, who was shot by citizens Who were assisting the officers, is in such a condition that physicians cannot probe any further for the bullet. Joseph Shivey presents a horrible appearance. Both ears are torn and his neck is raw and swollen from the effects of the rope, while his face is also disfigured. His most serious injury is a wound which was caused by being hit in the head by a stone. The Shivey brothers are natives of Wagersville, Estill county, Kentucky, and confess that they have been in shooting scrapes heretofore, having served in the penitentiary at Frankfort for shooting to kill.

Mr. Harris, and it was given to him without the least hesitation by Colonel Barnett. "Any man who has a right to see the books and papers of this department is welcome to see them," said Chief Clerk" Ha'use, of the' Auditor General's Department; "we never refused anybody who" has "such a right. But we will refuse any information that is asked for by people riot interested in corporations and who want to use it in court trials "against any particular corporation. Our reports of these corporations are secured for the purpose of making tax settlements, and' it' would be 'unfair to make them public.

This has been acknowledged by more than orie' 'fair minded person who applied here for information to be used in court, and was informed of our rule. But if a stockholder of a corporation, or any one else who has a right to see its'repArt, should make application, the books would at once be thrown open. There is nothing here to conceal." Ignatz stopped at the gate and laughed. Then he raised the gun and pointed" it at his bride', who stood only six feet away. "I think I could, Annie," he said.

"If this gun was loaded I'm certain I could hit you." For a moment he stood thus and the gun was discharged. The charge "struck the girl in the left 'temple, killing her instantly. As she fell her husband dropped the gun and bounded to her side. He knelt over her lifeless body and kissed the cheeks down which the blood was pouring. He has been arrested.

USED OFFICIAL PAPER FOR PRIVATE ENTERPRIb More Official Letter 1 1 end of Factory Inspector's Department Factory Inspector Delaney was considerably perturbed when he learned that on paper bearing the official letter head of his Department a man named William D. Hawkins had been sending to manufacturers in the State a letter soliciting advertisements for a proposed Directory of the Manufacturers of the State of Pennsylvania. These advertisements were to cost the advertisers $100 each, and that the letter was being sent out only came to Captain Delaney's notice recently. He says that no such person as Mr. Hawkins is in any way connected with his Department, and explains that a couple of weeks ago two gentlemen named Duncan and Atwoll, of Philadelphia, were introduced to him at the Department and asked his endorsement of a proposition to print such a directory, and he unhesitatingly said it would be a most useful publication.

He even wrote a general letter to be placed in the hands of the solicitors who visited the industries of the State in search of material for the directory, and in order that they might make copies of this letter he gave them some of the official stationery, which it seems was used for another purpose, much to Captain Delaney's surprise. The Department did not in anyway authorize such use of its stationery as was made of it, nor was personal assent given by Captain De loney to any one to solicit pay from any source for any purpose whatever. Mr. Atwell, of the firm of Atwell Duncan, publishers, say that they were simply acting as publishers for W. D.

Hawkins, and notified him to discontinue sending out letters soliciting patronage on official paper.

He never regained consciousness after the accident THE STARTLING CONFESSION OF DARING ROBBERS Railroaders Stole Thousands From Adams Express Company LOVE OF DRINK Fondness for strong drink was the cause of the downfall of the men under arrest for robbing the Adams Ex press Company trucks at the I mon Station. Much of the stolen goods was traded off for beer and whiskey to the' bartender of a saloon in thin city and it is expected his arrest, will follow.

The men kept a large quantity of stolen whiskey in their lockers at. the freight depot and drank of it freely at nights. These facts were brought out by the voluntary confessions of Terry M. Wolfe and' William Longenecker at the Dauphin county jail, where they are confined in default of bail, and George Fenstermacher, whose friends have furnished a bond for his appearance at court when wanted. Wolfe and Longenecker claim that Fenstermacher was the ringleader of the alleged thieves and that the greater part of the booty went to him.

Harry Fisher and William Strohm, who were employed with the other three on the night shifting crew at the Union Station, were arrested last night and committed to jail. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of one of their associates and as soon as he has. been apprehended the men will be given a hearing before Alderman Hess. Those now under arrest seem to realize the seriousness of their offense and are willing to tell all they know about the robbery and what became of the stolen goods. i.j The Gang's Methods The stealing was carried on for nearly one year and in that time thousands of dollars' worth of goods of all kinds nnd descriptions were stolen from the Adams Express Company.

Large quantities of butter, turkeys, lard and oysters, together with jewelry, three parrots and clothing are included among the articles which the men have confessed to have taken. The railroad company and the express company have been trying since the thieving began to locate the thieves, but all their efforts were unavailing until they placed the matter In the hands of Detective Harry C.

He returned to Harrisburg this week and has accepted a position ot the new plant of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company. William S. Craig, also a former Harrisburger and at one time foreman of the roll shop at Steelton, is still superintendent of the rail mill at Soo. Mr.

There are about 3,000 men employed and many of them are Swedes, French Canadians and Italians. It is reported from Philadelphia that a reorganization scheme has been perfected and will probably be carried to a successful issue. THEIR DOWNFALL tives were brought here from Philadelphia, and for nights they worked with the robbers without being able to detect them stealing or fasten anything on them to justify their arrest.

Detective White was called into the case three weeks ago and during the last forty eight hours he and County Detective Walters have arrested five men and implicated several others. Loiifteneck er Confesses Longenecker has confessed that he began stealing last January, by carrying away a bucket of oysters, and that he afterward took a pair of shoes and a can of lard. He also stole a box consigned to an Altoona jeweler containing four watches. Fenstermacher and Wolfe each received a watch and the other two were retained by Longenecker. He also stole a sailor suit, a small bundle of underwear and a book and tablet.

Longenecker says that after he and his associates would quit work, about 5 o'clock in the morning, they would go to a saloon in the upper end of the city and that his companions frequently passed over the bar to the bartender chickens, turkeys and butter, tied up in newspapers. On one occasion the bartender divided into three parts a pail of butter which two of the men took to the saloon, retaining one third himself and giving the robbers the remainder. Fenstermacher showed longenecker a diamond brooch which he had stolen and two of the men secured double barrel guns in return for tobacco tags which they are alleged to have taken. Longenecker has a young wife and twenty month old child and he is very anxious to tell all he knows of the robbery in the hope that the express officials will be lenient, with him. He claims to have quit his position on the railroad last.

March to get away from his thieving associates and the temptation to steal. Wolfe claims that Fenstermacher was the ringleader in the robbery and has made a complete confession of the robbery from the time it begun until his arrest. He has implicated several persons holding good positions and if his confession can be corroborated then sensational arrests will follow. der Gladstone Dowie, LL. son of publicly by his father yesterday.
