Dead President Called a Thief and Embezzler. Murder of Jews Feared. How Stockholders Are Swindled. Recent Investigations hnve brought to light the fact that nearly all the crookedness revealed In the management of our large corporations has been due to the duplication of directorates. A group of men organised or obtained control of several corporations doing business with each other and then proceeded to swindle the stockholders of the various corporations for which they acted. No man can serve two masters, and the director who attempts to do so will fall, no matter how much money ho makes before his falluro Is discovered. Warsaw Terrorized.

Phllndelphln, Aug. 31. — Frank K. Hippie, president of the embarrassed Real Estate Trust company, who was found dead at his Bryn Mawr home last Friday, blow his brains out. The news was suppressed In order to prevent a run on the trust company and give tho directors a chauce to make an investigation. St. Petersburg, Aug. 31. — Premier Stolypln has lost confldenec In the ability of the empire to quell the revolution. In a conversation with friends he asserted that he was convinced the task was Impossible unless the czar gave him absolutely a free rein or, hi other words, conferred upon the cabinet a practical dictatorship. Denounces Trusts and Favors Imposition of Income Tax. "This Is not n crusade against wealth. Wealth In Itself Is not objectionable, and we have no prejudice against the corporations which obey the law. WANTS PUBLIC TO OWN RAILROADS The tariff question Is very closely allied to the must question, and the reduction of tho tariff furnishes an easy means of limiting the extortion which the trusts can practice. While absolute free trade would not necessarily make a trust Impossible, still It Is probable that very few manufacturing establishments would dare to enter Into u trust if the president were empowered to put upon the free list articles competing with those controlled by a trust. While I shall take occasion at an early day to consider the tariff question more at length, I cannot permit this opportunity to pass without expressing tho opinion that the principle embodied in tho protective tariff has been the fruitful sourco of a great deal of political corruption as well as the support of many of our most Iniquitous trusts. The suspicion of suicide 1ms been general since Hippie's death and lias;: been confirmed by Coroner King of Montgomery county. He and the family physician previously had stuck to the statement that cerebral hemorrhage killed Hippie. Stolypln also declared, it Is reported, that history seemed to be repeating Itself, the situation closely resembling the closing days of flic reign of Alexander II., who was assassinated. "We nre on the threshold of tho greatest political awakening this nation has ever known. Within the next few years the great Industrial problems now agitating the country will lie solved."

Nevertheless he considered It vital that the government should not take a reactionary path. If It did not do so he felt confident the measures which the cabinet projected would result In a majority of Moderates being elected to parliament as against the Extremists on the left, whose aim was to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic.

Calls High Tariff a Burden. Mr. Bryan's address was lu part as follows: There never was a time when tariff reform eould be more easily entered upon. |or the manufacturers by selling abroad cheaper than at home, as many of them do, have not only shown their Ingratitude toward those who built the tariff wall for thein, but they have demonstrated their ability to sell In competition with the world. The high tariff has long been a burden to the consumers In the United States and It Is growing more and more a menace to our foreign commerce because It arouses resentment and provokes retaliation.

Watchman Masscnger—Ital- of Great Political Awakening. ians Forced to Flee for New York, Aug. 31.—W.lliam J. Bryan, the twice nominated candidate of the Democratic party for the presidency and acclaimed as the probable nominee in 1!X)8, sounded the keynote of the next presidential campaign in two speeches delivered In and outside of Madison Square Garden to probably the greatest audiences ever assembled iu America for political meetings. It Is believed that nearly 75,000 persons turned out to greet Mr. Bryan. for Their Lives, Our nation has lost prestige rather than gained It by our experiment In colonialism. We have given the monarchist a chance to ridicule our Declaration of Independence, and the scoffer has twitted us with Inconsistency. A tour through the Philippine Islands has deepened the conviction that we should lose no time In announcing our purpose to denl with the Filipinos as- we dealt with the Cubans. Sayre, Wavcrly and Athens were the scone of a terrible race riot last night and fully 2,000 people marched the streets all night long, threatening death and destruction to all Italians. The Italian quarters were raided and the foreigners were forced to flee for their lives, some of them being compelled to swim across the river, while ethers fled to the Holds and woods. The cause of the unusual gathering was to avenge the atrocious murder of Eugene Messenger, night tireman at the American llridge Co.'s plant at Athens on Wednesday night in the fire room. The mob captured one Italian at Sayre and pounded and beat him into Insensibility and the town ofllcers finally rescued the foreigner and rushed him over the State line to Wavcrly, where medical treatment "wrs given him, but he will not survive.Receiver Earle of the wrecked Real Estate Trust company branded Hippie a thief and an embezzler. Dispatches received from Saratov state that the peasantry of the Volga provinces are talking of an uprising at an early date. Nothing, it Is stated, will satisfy them but the distribution of all land. Agitators are swarming all over the provinces.' The railroad question Is also Interwoven with the trust question. Nearly all the private monopolies have received rebates or scoured other advantages over competitors. Absolute equality of treatment at the hands of the railroads would go far toward crippling the trusts, and I rejoice that the president has had thn courage to press this question upon congress. While the law, as it was finally distorted by the senate, Is not all that could be wished. It deserves a fair trial. Mr. Earle declined to say what securities are missing, but he declared that lllpple had hypothecated #C53,000 worth of paper, securing $50,000 foi the securities, which he never returned. I return more convinced than before of the Importance of a In the method of electing United Ufates senators. There is noticeable everywhere a distinct movement toward democracy in Its broadest sense. In all the countries which I have visited there Is a demand that the government be brought nearer to the people. In the United States this trend toward democracy has taken the form of n growing demand for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people. Extraordinary precautions were taken in Warsaw to prevent disturbances or demonstrations at the funeral of General Von Llurllarskl, the acting military governor and commander of the Fifth army corps, who was assassinated on Aug. 27. All the shops were shut, the doors and windows of the houses were kept closed by order of the aqthorjtleq, pud the stfept cars iintj cabs were removed from the streets, which were lined by troops. Mr. Bryan took the most advanced and radical ground 011 the trust question, advocated the extermination of private monopolies and came out boldly for government ownership of railroads, divided between federal ownership for the truuk lines and state ownership for branch roads lying within the boundaries of a single state. Receiver Earle further declared that President Hippie embezzled the $5,000, 000 he loaned to Adolf Segal, the pro moter. These loans, Mr. Earle asserted, were personal transactions. But at this time I desire to center your thoughts upon the overshadowing evil of the day—the trust—with the plutocratic tendencies that result therefrom. It demands a remedy, nnd the people aro prepared to administer heroic treatment. The Democratic party offers a solution which is both reasonable and adequate—a solu- Loaned Fund* In Bank'* Nam*.

I am so convinced of the justice of tho Income tax that I feel sure that the people will sooner or later demand an amendment to the constitution which will specifically authorise an Income tax and thus make It possible for the burdens of the federal government to be apportioned among the people In proportion to their ability to bear them. Denunciation of Plutocracy. Messenger, while at work on Wednesday night was attacked by some unknown persons and stabbed In the back Ave or six times. He dted soon after the assault and was found dead People Driven Prom Streets. Plutocracy ts abhorrent to a republic. It la more despotic than monarchy, more heartless than aristocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It preys upon the nation In time of pcace and conspires against It In the hour of Its calamity. Conscienceless, compasslonless and devoid of wisdom, It enervates Its votaries while It Impoverishes Its victims. It Is already sapping the strength of the nation, vulgarizing social life and muklng a mock cry of morals. The time Is ripe for Its overthrow. us attack It boldly, making our appeal to the awakened conscience of the nation In the name of the counting room which it has deflled, In the name of business #honor which It has sullied, In the name of the people whom It has oppressed, In the name of the homes which It has despoiled and In the namo of religion, upon which it has placed tho stigma of hypocrisy. Preceding the funeral procession were squads of mounted police nnd Cossacks with fingers on the triggers of their revolvers and rifles us a warning to the people not to look out of the windows. The few pedestrians who ventured Into the streets were promptly driven Indoors. Receiver Earle made tliat announcement to mauy anxious inquirers after n hurried examination of bookD ami papers In the company's vaults. Beneficiaries of these funds have been clamoring for positive Information as to their security ever since the company closed Its doors. Thursday morning. Suspicion pointed to Italians as the perpetrators of the crime on account of the wounds, and on account of previous trouble Messenger had with a certain Italian, whom Messenger had warned to stay away from his home because he persisted In making love to Messenger's 16-year-old daughter. Wants Labor Troubles Arbitrated I have referred to tho investigation of International controversies under a system which does not bind the parties to accept the findings of the court of inquiry. This plan can be used In disputes between labor and capital; in fact, It was proposed us a means of settling such disputes before It was applied to International controversies. It Is as Important that we shall have peace at home us that we shall live peaceably with neighboring nations, and peace is only possible when It rests upon Justice. In advocating arbitration of differences between large corporate employers and their employees I believe wc are defending the highest Interests of the three parties to these disputes—viz, the employers, the employees and the public. "Ecnnett J. Coblelgh." The reckless behavior of the Warsaw soldiers causes niheh bitterness. They art» nervous, angry nnd tbrlsting to avenge their murdered comrades, are ready to open Are at the slightest provocation and have permission to shoot any person •whom they suspect of murderous designs. Several peaceful citizens have already been shot. CHANDLER RESIGNS. Mr. Bryau declared against Socialism, or the public ownership of all means of production and distribution, ✓.ay lug that he stood for Individualism and the rights of private property, lie denounced plutocracy as a menace to this government as great as the evil of landlordism in Europe and advocated laws to curb the power of wealth. Among his remedies for this condition he again proposed the incouie tax. which has been declared unconstitutional by the United States supreme Income Tax Favored. Receiver Earle said his plan for reorganization was to ask the creditors to take preferred stock In the trust company for their claims and appoint their own officers In the company. This, he felt assured, would give the creditors their only chance to get hack their money, dollar for dollur. The plan has not been perfected In detail. Dr. William H. Chandler, professor of chemistry at Dehigh university, who has held that position for over 35 years continuously since his appointment on June 21, 1871; also the position of librarian of the Lucy Packer Linderinan library since the establishment of the library In 1878, ha/, resigned as professor and alsi, as librarian, and has been appointed professor emeritus of the course In chemistry. Dr. Chandler's resignation has been made necessary by 111 health. When the news of the murder became known the English speaking people gathered In. groups and discussed It in no mild terms. The officers of the locality finally became active and arrested Pasquiill and Antonio Fechrone, two Italian brothers, on suspicion of being tl~o persons who had murdered Messen j/6 one of the brothers had beel ..ailing a determined effort to have Messenger's daughter elope with him, for which her father had warned him not to come near his home again. It is thought that In order to have revenge for preventing the lovemaklng the crlmc was then committed. There Is n general fear that the next revolutionary attempt In Warsaw will be attended by the wholesale murder of Jews by the troops. A RELIGIOUS CAMPAIGN Receiver Earle reiterated his opposition to a permanent .receivership for the trust company. This proceeding, he declared, would deprive the concern of Its trust funds, which are among Its most valuable assets. If all of Promoter Segal's enterprises are. as valuable as his sugar refinery, he said, their operation by the depositors would be more fruitful of results than any other method, and lie believed through such a plan the depositors would receive dollar for dollar. Thus far I have dwelt upon subjects which may not be regarded as strictly partisan, but I am sure that you will pardon me if In this presence I betray my Interest in those policies for which tho Democratic party stands. Our opponents have derived not only partisan pleasure, but also partisan advantage, from the division caused in our party by the money question. They ought not, therefore, to begrudge us the satisfaction that we find in the fact that unexpected conditions have removed the cause of our differences and permitted us to present a united front on present issues. The unlooked for and unprecedented Increase In the production of gold had brought a victory to both the advocates of gold and the advocates of bimetallism—the former keeping the gold standard which they wanted and tho latter securing the larger volume of money for which they contended. We who favor bimetallism are satisfied with our victory if the friends of monometallism are satisfied with theirs. Prominent State Worker Russian Peasants Hungry.

MARRIED IN NEW YORK The only discordant note was when Mr. Bryan turned to a discussion of Socialism and declared that the man who says the trust is an economic growth and lias come to stay is the one who Is helping the Socialist. Some one yelled, "Three cheers for Social- Ism!" but the call was drowned In Word has been received here of the marriage In New York of Edward Holleran, a former resident of this city, and Miss Nettie Mangan, daughter of Mrs. Thomas Loftus, of Oregon. The ceremony was performed a few days ago In one of the Catholic churches of the metropolis. Mr. Holleran has been a resident of the city for a year past and Is employed as an auto driver. His wife has lived in New York for a short time past, having taken employment there. -Mr. Holleran formerly lived on John street and he recently returned to the city after a visit here. The two Italians were placed In the Athens lockup, which was surrounded throughout Thursday by at least 1,000 English speaking persons. Last nighty the crowd increased and men, women and children composed it. Finally the crowd became threatening and there was danger of the lockup being broken open and the Italians taken out and hanged or killed In some other manner. Sheriff Robinson of Towanda was summoned, and he managed to secretly remove the prisoners to the county jail at Towanda. II. T. Williams, Bible Study Secretary ol" Pennsylvania—Conferred witli Y. M. C. A. Members Here IDast livening—Aggressive Plans hisses, Under Way with the Clearing House Stands Aloof. Calls Socialists Honest. Local Association It Is almost certain the linnuclnl Interests of the city will not be a party to any plan to place the trust company on its feet. This Is clearly indicated by the action of the Clearing House association, which refused to advance more than $3,tD00,000 because the trust company could not show collateral to cover more than half the $7,000,000 It waited. Czar Honors Jew Baiter. Mr. Bryan quickly said "My friends, I have no objection to any man expressing himself in favor of Socialism, because the Socialist, as a rule, is an honest man. I deny that the trust is an Institution made necessary for economic purposes; I deny that that it is an economic institution at all. It Is not economical; it is political. It rests not on natural laws, but 011 man made laws." H. T. Williams, of Harrisburg, Bible study secretary of the State of Pennsylvania, visited the Plttston association yesterday and in the evening conferred with a group of men interested and active in the association work. Plans for an aggressive and wholesome religious work during the fall and winter months were considered, based upon Mr. Williams' wide and thorough knowledge of the subject and upon the most successful and best plans of other associations all over the State. The religious work of the Young Men's Christian association throughout the State and country has during the last fe-vy years received an ever increasing emphasis and men of large abilities' are studying the problems in this field as business men are studying the problems in theirs. Splendid progress is being made and the associations are undertaking and planning to undertake policies different perhaps from a few years ago owing to tho different conditions and needs and a work that by its posittveness, helpfulness and naturalness shall appeal to young men and enlist their energies. The local association is planning to commence all of their fall activities the last of September and at the time the Bible classes, educational classes and gymnasium classes will be opened, bowling teams and a bowling league organized, and the social and entertainment features arranged for. Everything points to a most successful year in the association. Odessa, Aug. 31.—A local police official named Shlshkl, who, It is nlleged. was the principal agitator and participant iw the Jewish massacre here last year, has been appointed chief of police of Llvadia, Emperor Nicholas' residence In the Crimea. When tho crowd was informed that the prisoners had been spirited away excitement ran high. Tho men armed themselves with clubs, sticks, stones, guns and ropes and then began an attack on the Italian quarters In the neighborhood of the three towns. The Italians are all employed by the Lehigh Valley R. R. Co. and are quartered In old box cars and small huts or shacks. The crowd made a desperate attack on all of the Italians and the foreigners became highly excited and fled in all directions like sheep in order to prevent rough handling or from being killed, as the crowd was determined to avenge the murder of Messenger. All of the Italians managed to escape with a few bruises except one, -who was beaten within an Inch of his life and was finally rescued and spirited across the State line into New York. Corporation Contributions Denounced, SPECIAL NOTICES. The people see now what they should have seen before, namely, that no party can exterminate the trusts so long as It owes its political success to campaign contributions secured from the trusts. The great corporations do not contribute their money to nny party except for immunity expressly promised or clearly Implied. The president has recommended legislation on this subject, but so far his party has failed to respond. No Important advance can be made until this baneful Influence is eliminated, and I Hope that the Democratic party will not only challenge the Republican party to bring for•ward effective legislation on this subject, but will set an exnmple by refusing to reoelve campaign contributions from corporations and by opening the books so that every contributor of any considerable sum may be known to the public before the election. ■IDSUSOI FRESH SHELL OYSTERS. Tliere is much speculation in financial circles as to the identity of the persons other than Segal who borrowed money from the Real Estate Trust company. The directors refuse to make the names public for the reason that the transactions were regular and the loans amply protected. The failure was due entirely to the loans to Segal. The radical points of his address were uproariously cheered, the vnst audience in Madison Square Garden manifesting its npproval of his utterances by plaudltory demonstrations which have never been surpassed. The oyster season Is on at Plttston's leading market place. A big supply of fresh shell oysters opened here every SME day. If you want a nice fry oyster send your order here and have them Probably no other American ever was honored by such an ovation as the people of New York, re-enforced by thousands from almost every state in the Union, gave Mr. Bryan on Ills return home from his famous trip around the world.

While men may dlfTer as to tho relative Importance of Issues and while the next congress will largely shape tho lines upon which the coming presidential campaign will be fought, I think it is safe to say that at present the paramount issue In the. minds of a large majority of the people Is the trust Issue. I congratulate President Roosevelt upon the steps which he has taken to enforce the antitrust law, and nfly gratification Is not lessened by the fact that he has followed tho Democratic rather than tho Republican platform In every advance he has mude. CHICKENS. The crowd of marching men was made up principally of railroad employes from the Lehigh Valley, D., L. & W. and Eric companies, and they are determined to secure revenge. Early this morning the report came that the men were still marching from town to town and seeking for Italians and serious trouble is anticipated. There were very few people In the three towns that had any sleep lost night and the termination of the affair is anxiously awaited. The men are determined to rid the neighborhood of Italians and from appearunces It looks as if they will have to emigrate at once to othej parts. 75 Cents Plenty of nice chickens, live or Rev. J. P.
