Somerville, N. J., May 19.—"Devilish, not insane," is the way Prosecutor Koger characterized George H. Wood, the bo called "double brain" slayer of Geiorge Williams of Watchung, in summing up for the state. Now York, May 10.—Three hundred members of the Lotos club and their guests gave a dinner last night to Whitelaw Keid, ambassador to Great Britain. Philadelphia, May 19. — Under the lash of the leader of the most perfect political organization I11 any elty iu the United States the city council, which consists of two bodies, patterned after the upper and lower houses of the national legislature, last nlglit sold out the rights of the people to the United Gas Improvement company amid an excitement and uproar without precedent in the history of rotten politics la this ring laden city. New York, May 19.—Commodore E. C. Benedict, on his steam yacht the Oneida, left Sandy Hook lightship with the ocean racing yachts, intending to keep the leaders in view for at least two or three days tf practicable. FINE BAZAAR OPENED. DYNAMITER ARRESTED. Mr. Keid, introduced by Frank R. Lawrence, president of the club, said in part: SUIT FOR LARGE AMOUNT The prosecutor said that devliishness is not insanity. He asserted that Insanity was a disease, not a temporary condition of the mind, which can be put on or off as the defense sought to show was the case with Wood. The commodore did keep well along with the yachts all Wednesday night and until half past 7 o'clock yesterday morning. The wind remained east, and the fog at times was very heavy. Held in Armory Hall by the Lutherans. Edwardsville Church Mys tery Probably Solved. "It is perfectly true that nn open course Is the best; that a free people wish to know from (lay to day what is being done in their name and by their authority; that our government is not adapted to secrecy and does not like to make a mystery of its movements and its policy. Edward Pahl Demands $30,- At 7:45 o'clock on Wednesday evening the German schooner Hamburg had become the leader of the racing yachts, being u mile to the windward of the Atlantic, which was the second boat. Two dramatic incidents interrupted the prosecutor's closing address, begun immediately after both sides rested. Mrs. Williams, widow of the murdered merchant, broke down and wept convulsively.000 From Ransom. The gas works of the city were turned over to the United Gas Improvement company for a term of seventyflve years for $25,000,000, which is to be paid in installments between the date of the passage of the act and the year 1907. It is estimated that the ultimate profit of the gas combination will run close to $1,000,000,000. The town is In an uproar, affi' there is no telling what may tomorrow, when popular Indignation begins to manifest itself, because, slow as the Quakers are to resist imposition, they go to the extreme In demonstration and in action when goaded to the limit of endurance.

A large attendance marked the opening night, which gave promise that the fair is going to be extremely successful. TVi.e Leek Cornet Band was present aiV., during the evening gave a choice pro™ gramme of selections. The hall has been transformed by the members of the congregation, being very handsomely decorated. Neat booths are located about the walls and in the center a May Pole has been erected. In the front of the hall the combination booth forms a strong attraction. It is trimmed with the national colors and is flanked on either side with the candy booth and a "postoflice." In the combination booth a large number of useful articles are chanced off each night. The "postofTice" is a novelty that has much patronage. For a stipulated sum a person can receive a letter from any section of the world and bearing on any subjecf. The candy booth Is trimmed In pink and white and contains many varieties ot sweets. . The China booth is trimmed in green and white. Here are presented for sale many fancy articles of China and glass. The fancy work booth, trimmed in gold and white, Is laden with articles that appeal to any one with a sense of the artistic. A quilt booth of pink and white contains a fine variety of bed clothing, i which was the result of much labor on the part of the ladies of the congregation. The May pole is a particularly pretty piece, containing many colors in its decoration. It is used as a flower booth, at which a number of varieties of potted plants are exposed for sale. The refreshment tables are at the rear of the hall and In a corner nearby is a fish pond that is always kept well stocked. Next to the fish pond Is a natural looking well that furnishes an abundant supply of lemonade. Mrs. Zuber Is in general charge of the bazaar and is assisted by an able corps of parishioners. There, will be music each evening. The affair will be brought to a close Saturday night. yesterday afternoon a foreigner residing at Kdwardsville was placed under arrest and lodged in the Wiikesbarre city jail on a charge of assault and battery. The arrest was made by a constable, but is is rumored that he was simply acting for the Sheriff's deputies, and that the prisoner Is really suspected of -being the pehpetrator of the dynamite outrage at Kdwardsville a few weeks ago, when the Welsh Congregational Church was badly wrecked. Immediately after the outrage several rewards were offered, aggregating about $2,"D00, for the arrest arid conviction of he guilty party, and this lias brought into action detectives arid police officers. For the past few weeks, however, ex-Chief Jones, of Wiikesbarre, now a Sheriff's deputy, and several other deputies, have been hard at work on the case, and have succeeded in getting together a All Night. A suit In trespass for $30,000 damages has boon started In the Laekawanna county court against Ransom township by Edward Pahl, whose attorney is Paul Sherwood, of Wllkesbarre. The suit grows out of an accident that befell Pahl on March 24th of this year. It will be recalled that on that day he started toward evening to drive from tills city to his home in Hansom. It grew dark before he reached home, and when at a point on the road near Ransom his horse and wagon fell over an unprotected embankment** Pahl foil In such a way that he was unable to extricate himself, and he was compelled to lie where he fell from early in the evening until six o'clock next morning, when a man living In the neighborhood heard his cries and came to his assistance. He was seriously injured by the fall and suffered much from exposure. The wagon was also wrecked, and Pahl thinks he ought to have $30,000 from the township, alleging that he accident resulted from the fact that the township had failed to protect the highway. Fog Hid the Yacht*. Later the prisoner's devoted young wife broke down alld sobbed with her head on his shoulder. Even this did not arouse any feeling in Wood. He hardly regarded her, but kept his wavering eyes on the prosecutor. His Wife Broke Down The Oneida at 5 o'clock yesterday morning was 120 miles southeast by east, one-quarter east, from Sandy .Ilook lightship. For two hours and a half after that the steam yacht ran an easterly course about six miles an hour. Nothing more was heard from\ the yachts, and as the fog was then denser than ever Commodore Benedict deemed further pursuit fruitless and dangerous and so ordered his skipper to return to New York. "There Is another phase of our newspaper activities that merits mora serious consideration from all of us than we generally give It. The free press largely rules a free country. It may make peace or war. It has done both. Rut it is quite capable of fomenting very grave difficulties which it never desired or intended or even thought of. Disorder Without Precedent. Experts called by the prosecution In rebuttal testified that the prisoner was sane and that by Implication the so called "imps of his imagination" are lies, designed to cover his crime. The disorder in the couucil chamber when the final vote was taken was absolutely without precedent. Thousands of citizens surged around the city hall. Every available iuch iu the part set aside for spectators was packed aud Jammed beyond description. Franklin Mack, the civil engineer of Long Branch, supposed to be the alleged Mack described by Wood's counsel as a myth, entered the courtroom after recess, but Prosecutor Iteger decided that nothing would be gained by calling the engineer as a witness. On the way back the Oneida fell In with the AUsa and spoke her, the commodore giving those aboard the positions of the loading yachts in the early morning. The Ailsa was many miles astern, hopelessly so, It would seem, if the race was not so long. "In our great distances and isolation between two oceans and general Reeling of remoteness and elbow room and independence it has sometimes been apt In moments of excitement to measure its words as little in dealing witli a high spirited and sensitive nation as with a candidate for town constable or the board of aldermen. Is It not time for the press, when it exercises the power, to recognize also the obligations of rule—consideration, moderation and a scrupulous regard both for the rights and the susceptibilities of others V Regard For Rights of Others. As the vote was announced there went up a roar of rage that made even the most subservient tools of Israel S. Durham, the leader, quail and turn livid with fear. Front the spectators' gallery there came a quick instant shriek of "Thieves!" "Robbers!" "Shame! Shame!" Twice Wood said that the mysterious Mack resembled the engineer, but was not really the man who was with Henry Wolff, and Mr. Mack left the courtroom. strong chain of evidence against the prisoner. It was not intended to make the arrest so early, but this action was taken when it was feared the suspect was preparing to leave town. The prisoner has been rigidly cross examined and tells several conflicting stories as to his whereabouts on the evening of the outrage. His record has been Jpoked up. and it is said he has already served a term in jail 011 the charge of killing a man. He is known in Kdwardsville as a bad character, and it is suspected that in dynamiting the church he acted as a tool for other parties. ■ It is said the man was seen leaving his home a few minutes before the church was dynamited and that he had a suspicious looking package in his pocket that may have been dynamite. The prisoner is being held to await developments. The schooner Hamburg, the leader of the racing fleet when Commodore Benedict last sighted her. is the only German representative in the race. Site is owned by a syndicate living In Hamburg. Adolf Tletjens, one of her owners, is on board and is iu charge of her. He Is accompanied by his son, Lieutenant Captain John Tietjens, and Mr. Plccorlelli. Captain Peters is her sailing master, and she has a crew of twenty-eight men. The men who had voted expected a demonstration, but nothing quite so tumultuous. They were so frightened by the outburst that they dared not leave their places until police protection was afforded them and the crowd began to melt away. Wood presented much the same nppearnnce in court that he did when he told his own amazing story on the witness stand. The strange apathy and lethargy which experts have pointed to as an evidence of his Insanity have not left him. Wanted to Return to Work. New York. May in — "Alt, ' well," yawned Robert Walsh as he picked himself up from the ground after falling 110 feet from the chimney on which he had been working in Brooklyn, "now I'd better get back to work or they'll dock me." But he was not permitted to go back to work. The foreman at the Angel Guardian home. Sixty-fourth street and Twelfth avenue, sent calls for an ambulance and insisted that Walsh should have a medical examination. "Walsh submitted, but the physicians could lind nothing the matter with him. Amended the Measure. "Wo hnve • ourselves resented at times with unwonted asperity the slightest foreign interference in our own domestic discussions. More than once those of us of mnturer years have seen this country lashed into a fury almost belligerent merely by the critical or carping references in foreign newspapers. It might be well now, in some quiet hour, to consider the other side and reflect how they may feel over our free spoken comments on their affairs. The agitutiou against the passage of the bill resulted in the common council amending the measure so as to provide for a slight reduction in the price of gas. The amendment as adopted provides that the price of gas from the date of the lease until Jan. 1, 1011, shall be a dollar a thousand cubic feet, the same as the present price; from 1011 to 1921, 05 cents; from 1021 to 1938, 00 cents; from 1030 to 1050, 85 cents, and tliereufter until the expiration of the lease In 1080, 80 cents. He seems utterly disinterested. He sits studying his fingers. He has not even replies for the anxious qfcries of his small, black eyed anxious wife. Wood only brightened up long enough to smile a greeting at his white haired grandmother, who has twice testified in her efforts to save him. Seems Utterly Disinterested. Valhalla Sighted. Newport, It. I., May 19.—The lirst of the yachts competing in the transatlantic race for Emperor William's cup to bo reported by the Nantucket lightship by wireless to the government station here was picked up at midnight. The vessel was four miles distant, and as she displayed no signals there was some debate as to her Identity. She is "believed to have been the Earl of Crawford's auxiliary ship Valhalla, as she answered the description of that vessel, being white and ship rigged. She carried full sail. The Valhalla crossed the starting line at Sandy Hook at 1:04 p. m. Wednesday and appears to have made the 103 miles to the lightship at an approximate average of 5.51 knots an hour. No other yachts had been sighted by the lightship at 2:30 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Williams, the wife of the man so strangely murdered, was in court alone. She lias kept her little baby Alice out of the courtroom since the day when the little one, laughing and prattling, made Wood, the accused murderer of her father, the object of lier baby smiles and attentions.

I'atrlotic itddresses were made by .Governor Glenn of North Carolina and Governor Stokes of New Jersey. The remarkable aspect of this case as a physical mystery has attracted such wide attention that alienists from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities have traveled all the Why to Somerville to see the prisoner, and the news of the queer drama being enacted in the old colonial courthouse started many of the wealthy suburban residents toward the courtroom.

Somerville, N. J., May 19.—"Devilish, not insane," is the way Prosecutor Koger characterized George H. Wood, the bo called "double brain" slayer of Geiorge Williams of Watchung, in summing up for the state. Now York, May 10.—Three hundred members of the Lotos club and their guests gave a dinner last night to Whitelaw Keid, ambassador to Great Britain. Philadelphia, May 19. — Under the lash of the leader of the most perfect political organization I11 any elty iu the United States the city council, which consists of two bodies, patterned after the upper and lower houses of the national legislature, last nlglit sold out the rights of the people to the United Gas Improvement company amid an excitement and uproar without precedent in the history of rotten politics la this ring laden city. New York, May 19.—Commodore E. C. Benedict, on his steam yacht the Oneida, left Sandy Hook lightship with the ocean racing yachts, intending to keep the leaders in view for at least two or three days tf practicable. FINE BAZAAR OPENED. DYNAMITER ARRESTED. Mr. Keid, introduced by Frank R. Lawrence, president of the club, said in part: SUIT FOR LARGE AMOUNT The prosecutor said that devliishness is not insanity. He asserted that Insanity was a disease, not a temporary condition of the mind, which can be put on or off as the defense sought to show was the case with Wood. The commodore did keep well along with the yachts all Wednesday night and until half past 7 o'clock yesterday morning. The wind remained east, and the fog at times was very heavy. Held in Armory Hall by the Lutherans. Edwardsville Church Mys tery Probably Solved. "It is perfectly true that nn open course Is the best; that a free people wish to know from (lay to day what is being done in their name and by their authority; that our government is not adapted to secrecy and does not like to make a mystery of its movements and its policy. Edward Pahl Demands $30,- At 7:45 o'clock on Wednesday evening the German schooner Hamburg had become the leader of the racing yachts, being u mile to the windward of the Atlantic, which was the second boat. Two dramatic incidents interrupted the prosecutor's closing address, begun immediately after both sides rested. Mrs. Williams, widow of the murdered merchant, broke down and wept convulsively.000 From Ransom. The gas works of the city were turned over to the United Gas Improvement company for a term of seventyflve years for $25,000,000, which is to be paid in installments between the date of the passage of the act and the year 1907. It is estimated that the ultimate profit of the gas combination will run close to $1,000,000,000. The town is In an uproar, affi' there is no telling what may tomorrow, when popular Indignation begins to manifest itself, because, slow as the Quakers are to resist imposition, they go to the extreme In demonstration and in action when goaded to the limit of endurance.

A large attendance marked the opening night, which gave promise that the fair is going to be extremely successful. TVi.e Leek Cornet Band was present aiV., during the evening gave a choice pro™ gramme of selections. The hall has been transformed by the members of the congregation, being very handsomely decorated. Neat booths are located about the walls and in the center a May Pole has been erected. In the front of the hall the combination booth forms a strong attraction. It is trimmed with the national colors and is flanked on either side with the candy booth and a "postoflice." In the combination booth a large number of useful articles are chanced off each night. The "postofTice" is a novelty that has much patronage. For a stipulated sum a person can receive a letter from any section of the world and bearing on any subjecf. The candy booth Is trimmed In pink and white and contains many varieties ot sweets. . The China booth is trimmed in green and white. Here are presented for sale many fancy articles of China and glass. The fancy work booth, trimmed in gold and white, Is laden with articles that appeal to any one with a sense of the artistic. A quilt booth of pink and white contains a fine variety of bed clothing, i which was the result of much labor on the part of the ladies of the congregation. The May pole is a particularly pretty piece, containing many colors in its decoration. It is used as a flower booth, at which a number of varieties of potted plants are exposed for sale. The refreshment tables are at the rear of the hall and In a corner nearby is a fish pond that is always kept well stocked. Next to the fish pond Is a natural looking well that furnishes an abundant supply of lemonade. Mrs. Zuber Is in general charge of the bazaar and is assisted by an able corps of parishioners. There, will be music each evening. The affair will be brought to a close Saturday night. yesterday afternoon a foreigner residing at Kdwardsville was placed under arrest and lodged in the Wiikesbarre city jail on a charge of assault and battery. The arrest was made by a constable, but is is rumored that he was simply acting for the Sheriff's deputies, and that the prisoner Is really suspected of -being the pehpetrator of the dynamite outrage at Kdwardsville a few weeks ago, when the Welsh Congregational Church was badly wrecked. Immediately after the outrage several rewards were offered, aggregating about $2,"D00, for the arrest arid conviction of he guilty party, and this lias brought into action detectives arid police officers. For the past few weeks, however, ex-Chief Jones, of Wiikesbarre, now a Sheriff's deputy, and several other deputies, have been hard at work on the case, and have succeeded in getting together a All Night. A suit In trespass for $30,000 damages has boon started In the Laekawanna county court against Ransom township by Edward Pahl, whose attorney is Paul Sherwood, of Wllkesbarre. The suit grows out of an accident that befell Pahl on March 24th of this year. It will be recalled that on that day he started toward evening to drive from tills city to his home in Hansom. It grew dark before he reached home, and when at a point on the road near Ransom his horse and wagon fell over an unprotected embankment** Pahl foil In such a way that he was unable to extricate himself, and he was compelled to lie where he fell from early in the evening until six o'clock next morning, when a man living In the neighborhood heard his cries and came to his assistance. He was seriously injured by the fall and suffered much from exposure. The wagon was also wrecked, and Pahl thinks he ought to have $30,000 from the township, alleging that he accident resulted from the fact that the township had failed to protect the highway. Fog Hid the Yacht*. Later the prisoner's devoted young wife broke down alld sobbed with her head on his shoulder. Even this did not arouse any feeling in Wood. He hardly regarded her, but kept his wavering eyes on the prosecutor. His Wife Broke Down The Oneida at 5 o'clock yesterday morning was 120 miles southeast by east, one-quarter east, from Sandy .Ilook lightship. For two hours and a half after that the steam yacht ran an easterly course about six miles an hour. Nothing more was heard from\ the yachts, and as the fog was then denser than ever Commodore Benedict deemed further pursuit fruitless and dangerous and so ordered his skipper to return to New York. "There Is another phase of our newspaper activities that merits mora serious consideration from all of us than we generally give It. The free press largely rules a free country. It may make peace or war. It has done both. Rut it is quite capable of fomenting very grave difficulties which it never desired or intended or even thought of. Disorder Without Precedent. Experts called by the prosecution In rebuttal testified that the prisoner was sane and that by Implication the so called "imps of his imagination" are lies, designed to cover his crime. The disorder in the couucil chamber when the final vote was taken was absolutely without precedent. Thousands of citizens surged around the city hall. Every available iuch iu the part set aside for spectators was packed aud Jammed beyond description. Franklin Mack, the civil engineer of Long Branch, supposed to be the alleged Mack described by Wood's counsel as a myth, entered the courtroom after recess, but Prosecutor Iteger decided that nothing would be gained by calling the engineer as a witness. On the way back the Oneida fell In with the AUsa and spoke her, the commodore giving those aboard the positions of the loading yachts in the early morning. The Ailsa was many miles astern, hopelessly so, It would seem, if the race was not so long. "In our great distances and isolation between two oceans and general Reeling of remoteness and elbow room and independence it has sometimes been apt In moments of excitement to measure its words as little in dealing witli a high spirited and sensitive nation as with a candidate for town constable or the board of aldermen. Is It not time for the press, when it exercises the power, to recognize also the obligations of rule—consideration, moderation and a scrupulous regard both for the rights and the susceptibilities of others V Regard For Rights of Others. As the vote was announced there went up a roar of rage that made even the most subservient tools of Israel S. Durham, the leader, quail and turn livid with fear. Front the spectators' gallery there came a quick instant shriek of "Thieves!" "Robbers!" "Shame! Shame!" Twice Wood said that the mysterious Mack resembled the engineer, but was not really the man who was with Henry Wolff, and Mr. Mack left the courtroom. strong chain of evidence against the prisoner. It was not intended to make the arrest so early, but this action was taken when it was feared the suspect was preparing to leave town. The prisoner has been rigidly cross examined and tells several conflicting stories as to his whereabouts on the evening of the outrage. His record has been Jpoked up. and it is said he has already served a term in jail 011 the charge of killing a man. He is known in Kdwardsville as a bad character, and it is suspected that in dynamiting the church he acted as a tool for other parties. ■ It is said the man was seen leaving his home a few minutes before the church was dynamited and that he had a suspicious looking package in his pocket that may have been dynamite. The prisoner is being held to await developments. The schooner Hamburg, the leader of the racing fleet when Commodore Benedict last sighted her. is the only German representative in the race. Site is owned by a syndicate living In Hamburg. Adolf Tletjens, one of her owners, is on board and is iu charge of her. He Is accompanied by his son, Lieutenant Captain John Tietjens, and Mr. Plccorlelli. Captain Peters is her sailing master, and she has a crew of twenty-eight men. The men who had voted expected a demonstration, but nothing quite so tumultuous. They were so frightened by the outburst that they dared not leave their places until police protection was afforded them and the crowd began to melt away. Wood presented much the same nppearnnce in court that he did when he told his own amazing story on the witness stand. The strange apathy and lethargy which experts have pointed to as an evidence of his Insanity have not left him. Wanted to Return to Work. New York. May in — "Alt, ' well," yawned Robert Walsh as he picked himself up from the ground after falling 110 feet from the chimney on which he had been working in Brooklyn, "now I'd better get back to work or they'll dock me." But he was not permitted to go back to work. The foreman at the Angel Guardian home. Sixty-fourth street and Twelfth avenue, sent calls for an ambulance and insisted that Walsh should have a medical examination. "Walsh submitted, but the physicians could lind nothing the matter with him. Amended the Measure. "Wo hnve • ourselves resented at times with unwonted asperity the slightest foreign interference in our own domestic discussions. More than once those of us of mnturer years have seen this country lashed into a fury almost belligerent merely by the critical or carping references in foreign newspapers. It might be well now, in some quiet hour, to consider the other side and reflect how they may feel over our free spoken comments on their affairs. The agitutiou against the passage of the bill resulted in the common council amending the measure so as to provide for a slight reduction in the price of gas. The amendment as adopted provides that the price of gas from the date of the lease until Jan. 1, 1011, shall be a dollar a thousand cubic feet, the same as the present price; from 1011 to 1921, 05 cents; from 1021 to 1938, 00 cents; from 1030 to 1050, 85 cents, and tliereufter until the expiration of the lease In 1080, 80 cents. He seems utterly disinterested. He sits studying his fingers. He has not even replies for the anxious qfcries of his small, black eyed anxious wife. Wood only brightened up long enough to smile a greeting at his white haired grandmother, who has twice testified in her efforts to save him. Seems Utterly Disinterested. Valhalla Sighted. Newport, It. I., May 19.—The lirst of the yachts competing in the transatlantic race for Emperor William's cup to bo reported by the Nantucket lightship by wireless to the government station here was picked up at midnight. The vessel was four miles distant, and as she displayed no signals there was some debate as to her Identity. She is "believed to have been the Earl of Crawford's auxiliary ship Valhalla, as she answered the description of that vessel, being white and ship rigged. She carried full sail. The Valhalla crossed the starting line at Sandy Hook at 1:04 p. m. Wednesday and appears to have made the 103 miles to the lightship at an approximate average of 5.51 knots an hour. No other yachts had been sighted by the lightship at 2:30 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Williams, the wife of the man so strangely murdered, was in court alone. She lias kept her little baby Alice out of the courtroom since the day when the little one, laughing and prattling, made Wood, the accused murderer of her father, the object of lier baby smiles and attentions.

I'atrlotic itddresses were made by .Governor Glenn of North Carolina and Governor Stokes of New Jersey. The remarkable aspect of this case as a physical mystery has attracted such wide attention that alienists from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities have traveled all the Why to Somerville to see the prisoner, and the news of the queer drama being enacted in the old colonial courthouse started many of the wealthy suburban residents toward the courtroom. Women flocked to the old fashioned room, arriving in automobiles and in fashionable carriages. The proceeds of the bazaar will be given to the building: association of the church. Sou Cliff, N.
