Senator George R. Malby, the Odell leader in the upper branch of the state legislature, made a bitter attack upon President Roosevelt for Interfering in New York state poli tics. He said: "Andrew Johnson was impeached as president of the United States for re sisting the execution of the acts of eou oresa And various alleged hsh crimes im not have mmitted more flagrant fenses than President Roosevelt and wveruor niggma pwnuig the inalienable and constitutional right of the assembly of the state of New York to choose its presiding officer, what divine or supreme earthly right does either the president or the govern or tell us that we must make a mei. boy speaker of the assembly?" Mr. Malby referred to the preference expressed by the governor for Assemblyman Wadsworth for speaker.

Charges Made by Odell Men. Accusations by State Chairman Odell's advisers that President Boose velt and Governor Higgins in usurping the prerogatives of a legislative branch of the government have committed quite as flagrant offenses as those for which the late President Andrew John son was impeached received a retort1 AIMS OF WORKMEN Hop to Reduce Entire Em pire to Suspension. St. Petersburg, Dee. 21.

The general Russian political strike began in Moscow. All the workinginen walked out from the factories awl mills, and the railway employees on six railways left the trains standing. Moscow is intensely excited, for most of the strikers are armed. They fired on a train arriving there on the Kursk road and wounded the engineer and several passengers. Even the Moscow electric light plants are closed.

The course of events in Moscow foreshadows what will happen throughout the empire as fast as the working men's leaders can be communicated with. Governor General Doubassoff of Moscow proclaimed a partial state of siege, which gave the civil authorities exceptional powers of arrest. Aims of the Strikers. The strikers hope to prevent the publication of all newspapers, to print and distribute only the organ of the Work ingmen's council, to close all government works except waterworks and to shut up every shop, wholesale and retail. They will not try to close the bakeries unless the bakers raise the price of bread.

In a word, they propose to reduce the empire to a state of suspended animation. The police are arresting the strike lenders as fast as they find them, but the arrests are few, as the leaders hide away from their homes and meet in secret, each time in a different place. The Warsaw firemen struck, refusing to take out the fire apparatus until their pay is increased. Government Cannot Send Orders. Troops occupied the railway stations in St.

Petersburg, and the government tried, with the aid of railroad battalions, to a train service, especially to the German frontier, and also to keep open cable communication with points abroad.

There was sent from this city to Scranton this morning a very gener ous offering from the Blessed Virgin Sodality of St. John's church for charitable institutions of, the Scranton dio cese. The bulk of the offering was for the Home of the Good Shepherd, but the St. Patrick's Orphanage and St. Joseph's Foundling Home were not forgptten.

Each of these institutions received $10 in cash from the Sodality and, besides, a great quantity of provisions were shipped to the Good Shepherd Home, including the following articles: Six barrels of flour, 200 pounds of sugar, 400 cans of vegetables. That the members of the Sodality evidenced "the joy of giving" was proved when it was unanimously agreed that an annual collection of provisions will be taken for charitable purposes. TRESTLE BLOWN DOWN Wind Did Heavy Damage at Laflin. Miner Named Stephen Burner Had Narrow F.scaM From Being Killed by Falling Timbers Col liery Will be Idle for Probably Two Months. A large wooden trestling 200 feet long and sloping from the top of Laflin breaker of the D.

H. to the ground, was blown down this morning between 6:30 and 7 o'clock by the heavy wind and that many men were not killed seems almost miraculous, because the accident occurred just when a large number of workmen had congregated to be lowered into the mine workings. Only one accident resulted, a miner named Steve Barner, of Hudson, being caught beneath the falling timbers and receiving an injury to one of his legs. The falling of the trestling was accompanied by a terrific crash. The destroyed structure was built at a heavy pitch and consisted of a lapge amount of heavy lumber.

The heavy wind of last night seemed not to have affected the structure, at least not to a degree that it was noticed and prep arations were made as usual for a day's work.

George English and Miss Katherine O'Hoyle, both popular young people of Exeter, were married yesterday afternoon in St. Cecilia's church by Rev.

Father Quinnan, pastor of St. Cecilia's. They were attended by James McOin. ley and Miss Catherine Lally. The couple will reside in Exeter.

Foreigner Injured One Week Agrt Died at the Hospital Testerday Afternoon. Frank Starn, a foreigner, died at Pittston hospital yesterday afternoon from injuries he received more than a week ago. He was employed in the mines and as the result of a. fall of coal received internal injuries, a broken arm and painful contusions. There was but little hope for his recovery from the time of the accident.

Starn was 31 years old and is survived by a wife and four children. He will be buried tomorrow morning. Krerytliing in the Furniture Line.

Stated Conditions on Which He Will Consent to Stand Again as Councilman His Opinion Is That Both Parties Should Name One Candidate, as Last Time. There is no political subject in the city attracting more interest than the question of common council nominations in the Seventh ward. There are several reasons for this, one that the Democratic caucus was not held on the evening fixed for it by Democratic Chairman Murphy and another that no formal expressions had been made on the subject of renominatlon 'by the present very efficient councilmen, John H. Foy and C. C.

Bowman. Some days ago Mr. Bowman, when spoken to on the subject, made a statement of his position, saying that he would like to be relieved of coun cilmanic duties and would gladly give way to some efficient successor, but most emphatically he would be a candidate again unless some man in whom every citizen in the ward had the highest confidence would be named to succeed him. Mr. Foy made a statement today to a Gazette reporter of the conditions on which he would accept a renominatlon.

He said: "It seems to be the best sentiment of the ward to divide the councilmen. The citizens seem satisfied with existing conditions. 1 feel that I have given all the time that could be required from me as a citizen and I would gladly shift the responsibility to others, but if the tax payers of the ward feel that present conditions will promote the best interests of the ward and city I would be willing to continue but under no circumstances or under no consideration will I enter into a competition among either Republicans or Democrats and I will not be a candidate if more than two are nominated. In brief, if three candidates for common council are nominated I will not be one of them."

This Is the second time the wireless system has suffered damage by storm, the Wilkesbarre tower having been damaged seriously about a year ago. Duryea people were kept awake last night by the wind storm and many of them were fearful about the danger of damage being done to property. A tfew accidents occurred during the night.

ONE YEAR SENTENCE Will Make Desperate Fight to Escape. New York, Dec. 21. Abraham Hummel, one of New York's famous criminal lawyers, was found guilty by the jury before whom he was tried on a charge of conspiracy In the Dodge Morse divorce case. He was immediately sentenced to one year's imprisonment and a tine of $500, the full penalty.

He was sent to the Tombs and was later released on a certificate of reasonable doubt. The district attorney asked for delay in imposing sentence. He said he desired to present to the court affidavits in his possession which would have a strong bearing upon the case. I desire to say," said Mr. Jerome, "that this man has becn a menace to the decency of this community for at ABRAHAM II.

HUMMEL. least twenty years. I can prove this by sworn affidavits. If the circumstances of this case do not move your honor to impose the maximum penalty I move that the matter he laid over until I'can present my affidavits." Justice Rogers said that he would im pose sentence at once and Inflicted the maximum penalty, a fine of $500 and imprisonment for one 5 ear in the coun ty penitentiary. Hummel Makes Statement.

Hummel after being taken to the Tombs was seen by a reporter and said: "I am now behind the bars, but I have been unjustly convicted through vindictiveness. Notwithstanding the district attorney's statement that I hrfve been a menace to the country for twenty years, 1 am now behind the bars with a clear conscience." The state accused Hummel of con spiring to Invalidate the legal divorce of the present Mrs. Morse, wife of C. W. Moree, the banker and former ice magnate, from Charles F.

Dodge, who jumped rapidly from one part of the country to another, being employed at various times as broker's clerk, waiter, hotel manager and restaurant proprietor. Hummel had the divorce set aside on the ground that Dodge had not been served in the divorce suit. Dodge has since confessed that he was served, and the divorce and Mrs. Dodge's marriage to Morse, which had been an nulled, have been reinstated. Hummel.

was employed by Captain James Morse, an uncle of C. W. Morse, to break' the marriage. The retainer for the lawyer, 515,000, and the fight to keep Dodge from being brought back here on' an indictment for perjury cost the captain more than $75,000. Betsey Ross Cigars, at Olllesple's.

21. Reports re ceived at the weather bureau record the prevalence of an electrical storm with a heavy fall of rain and a wind 1 reaching a velocity of 52 miles an hour at Jacksonville, la. It was first reported that a cyclone had struck the Florida city, as since before 6 o'clock last night it has been completely cut off from telegraphic communication with Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, the three nearest large cities. The information which reached the weather bureau came in the regular nightly report from the observer at Jacksonville and made no mention of cyclonic disturbances. The storm came probably from the gulf coast of Florida and raged over the northern part of the state, from which it shifted off, it is thought, into the Atlantic ocean.

Yesterday afternoon the weather bureau sent out storm warnings for the benefit of shipping along the coast of Florida from Tampa northward and westward and along the Atlantic coast from Jacksonville north. These warnings were repeated last night. Savannah, also felt the reflex effects of the storm, and at that city the wind also reached a high velocity, accompanied by thunderstorms. THREE COMPANIES ON STAND Officers of Washington, Oermania and Bankers' Life Testify. i New York, Dec.

21 The Washington Life Insurance company, the Ger mania Life Insurance company and the Bankers' Life Insurance company divided the attention of the legislative insurance investigating committee. John Tatlock, president of the Washington Life, said that Thomas F. Ryan never sold the Washington Life any securities and that he never influenced or suggested to the finance board what securities to buy. Mr. Tatlock said he thought insurance companies should be run by men in touch with Wall street because of their knowledge of the security Her also favored the idea of insurance companies speculating in securities, Cornelius Doremus, president of the Germania Life, said that about one third of his company's business was done in Europe, principally In Germany, and that this business in many respects is better than any done in America.

He characterized the American ways of doing business as "wild methods." The only contributions of a legislative character paid by this company were $500 to a fund having for its object the defeat of the mortgage tax law and $250 to further the passage of the lieu bill in Albany in 1904. No campaign contributions had ever been made. John Fuhrer, actuary of the Germania Life, said that the gain for the year is distributed either in annual or deferred dividends with the exception I of 10 per cent, which is retained for a contingency. This, the witness said, had been the custom for a number of years. It was brought out that the Germania annually makes up a report I for the German government separate i from the one which it makes to the New York state insurance department.

This was followed by a rejoinder from the executive chamber at Albany to the charge of Edwin A. Merritt, the Odell candidate for speaker, that Higgins is trying to appoint the presiding officer of the assembly. Still later came a hurry call from Higgins to all Republican assemblymen to meet here. These were events in the war that has split the Republican party of the Empire State as at no time since the historic Stalwart Halfbreed struggle of the early eighties. Roosevelt For Black For Leader.

Troy, N. Dec. 21. During the visit of former Governor Frank S. Black to Washington last President Roosevelt urged him to accept, the leadership of the Republican party in New York state.

Announcement of this fact was made at Republican headquarters in this city. Mr. Black declined the honor with thanks, telling the president that he would prefeto follow his legal profession at present. President Roosevelt, it is said, assured Black that he could have the entire state patronage of the national admin 1 istration regardless of either Senators Depew or Piatt, but this assurance did not change Mr. Black's determination.

I have tried to make myself plain. I have simply indicated as my choice for speaker a man whose election I thought would be for the best interests of my party and the people of the state.
