Replies to Republican Alle
gations on Wilson Tariff Bill
(BY RALPH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 8.—Sen
ator Hoke Smith spoke in the senate
tonight in answer to the charge by the
Republicans, that the Wilson tariff bill
of twenty years ago contributed to the
panic of 1893.
Senator Smith showed that the panic
of that year was due to several causes,
one of which was the unsettled con
ditions growing <*ut of the Baring fail
ure. The high tariff law of that time
had prevented imports, thus reducing
the receipts of the government, while
excessive appropriations exhausted* the
treasury resources. At the same ftpie
the silver purchase law had resulted
in the exportation of great quantities
of gold and the plates had already been
prepared for an issue of government
bonds when Mr. Cleveland was inaug
urated on March 1893.
The worst of the panic of that year
was over by September and the Wilson
tariff bilj was not passed until the lat
ter part of 1894.

EL PASO, Tex, Sept. 8.—-Lieu
tenant l' 1 . Acosta, an officer in General
Salazar’s federal command at Juarez,
crossed the Stanton street international
bridge this afternoon and was killed by
United States Customs Inspector T. F.
Jonah and Immigration Inspector
Thomas N. Heifrin, after he had opened
tire on them with a rifle.
He was shot through the mouth and
arm and his horse, from which he had
dismounted, was shot through the side.
The American officers were uninjured.
Before crossing the bridge the Mexican
had remarked that he was “going to
kill a gringo.”
Heifrin was standing at the Amer
ican end of the bridge w*hen Acosta
first opened fire on him. He fired back,
using an automatic pistol. Jonah has
tened to his assistance and began firing
at the Mexican. The Mexican officer
was within thirty feet of the Amer
icans before he was killed.
The troops of the Thirteenth cavalry
were ordered to the bridge following
the shooting, in order to restrain the
1,000 Mexicans who had gathered on
the Mexican side of the bridge.
General Hugh L. Scott, commander of
the United States troops, was notified
of the shooting and he ordered all
troops'to be prepared for movement to
El Paso from Fort Bliss in case of
trouble.
Tonight a detachment of cavalry
was stationed at both international
bridges and army officers and troops
have been ordered to remain at quarters
in case of an outbreak among the Mex
icans. V #
A bitter feeling against Americans
was manifested at Juarez by Salazar’s
federal troops following the shooting.
L. Oleson, of El Paso, grossed to the
Mexican side with a party of Amer
ican men and women anu reported
later to American army officers that
a federal officer drew his ^pistol and
threatened to shoot. Eleson stated that
the American women were insulted by
the Mexican officer. They escaped in
jury by putting their automobile at
full speed and hurrying to the Amer
ican side. They stated that several
Mexican soldiers threatened them and
shook their fists at them as they were
going through the streets of Juarez.
Other Americans also were threatened.
Inspector of Mexican Consulated M.
E. Diabold, of El Paso, is conducting
an investigation of the shooting.
Mexican officers at Juarez tried to
stop Lieuteant Acosta from crossing
the bridge before his invasion, but he
threatened to shoot anyone who inter
fered with him. The Mexican officers
said he had been drinking and after
he was killed a bottle of Mexican whis
key was found in his saddlebags.
Acosta came to Juarez from Chihua
hua with General Salazar’s troops a few
days ago.
The body is being held Tn El Paso.
Friends of Acosta in Juarez have
asked for permission to remove it to
Juarez.

KILLED BT ASSASSINS
Hot-Headed Students, Clamor
ing Against China, Blamed
for Deed
(By Associated Press.)
TOKIO, Sept. 8.—Mortlaro Abe, direc
tor of the political bureau of the Japanese
foreign office, died today, the victim of
unidentified assassins. They attacked
him Thursday evening while he was re
turning from the railway station, where
he went to meet H. Ijuin, minister to
China, who had just been recalled from
Peking. One of the men, thought to
have been students, seized him by the
shoulders while the other plunged a
short sword into his abdomen twice.
It was not thought at first that the di
rector’s wounds would* prove fatal, for
they were promptly dressed after some
passersby carried him to his home and
called surgeons.
Excitement is intense here as a sequel
to reports of the massacre of Japanese
and the insult to the Japanese flag at
Nanking, and there is much irresponsi
ble clamor for drastic action against
China, similar to the recent noise against
America. The motive in the assassina
tion of Director Abe may have originat
ed in resentment of the policy of the
foreign office in either of both of these
matters. The foreign office officials in
both cases have steadily urged and ad
hered to a policy of calmness.
The student element, at whose door
the assassination is laid, has been in
creasingly active in politics. Recently,
three students tried to see Baron
Makine. minister of foreign relations,
and submit to him a solution of the
California land question. The sensa
tional press has been attacking the for
eign office on both the California and
Chinese policies.
Another theory is that Director Abe
was mistaken by his assailants for Dr.
! Sun Yat Sen,, the Chinese revolutionary
| leader, whom he greatly resembled. It
I was requested a month ago, soon after
1 Dr. Yat Sen’s flight from China and ar-
I rival in Japan, that a band of 100 as-
[ sassins had been sent by the Chinese
government to kill Dr. Sen, General
Huang Sing, and other Chinese revolu
tionary fugitives.

President Wilson is
Almost Run Down by
Speeding Street Car
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Had It not
been for the presence of mind of a po
liceman, President Wilson might have
been run over by a street car here to
night. The president, accompanied by
his physician, Dr. Grayson, had been
out for a short walk and was returning
to the White House. Unmindful of the
traffic regulation which forbids pedes
trians crossing thie street except at
street intersections, they had started
diagonally across.
Just as they weTe crossing the tracks
a trolley car came along at a lively
clip. A policeman seeing the possibility
of an accident to the president, jumped
in front of the car with both hands up
raised. The motorman brought the
car to a stop less than ten feet from
the president and Dr. Grayson. Presi
dent Wilson was deeply engaged in
conversation at the time and was not
aware of- his close call until a secret
service agent came hurriedly across the
track behind him.

"WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Thaddeaus
R. Campbell, a wealthy farmer of 3owl-

fy two affable strangers whom detec
tives hope to “land” before night. The
strangers showed Campbell the beauties
of the treasury building and the shade
of the towering Washington monument
and came near to separating him from
$2,000. They are believed to be mem
bers of a band of swindlers that for
some time past have been engaged in
fleecing to.urists.
Campbell met the men in the treas

and the three went together to view
the monument. There the two men jok
ingly began to match pennies. Campbell
finally joining in the apparently innocent
pastime. The stakes gradually were in
creased and Campbell won steadily.
Eventually one of the men, drawing
from his pocket a fat roll of bills, pro
posed to match for $2,000 and end the
contest. Campbell agreed and again
won.
“I don’t believe you would have paid
if you’d lost,” said the loser. He de
manded that Campbell produce $2,000
as an evidence of his ability to take
part in a game for such stakes. He then
placed $2,000 in the hands of the third
man as stakeholder and Campbell hur
ried to Bowling Green to draw the cash.
Campbell told his banker, who return

saw Campbell’s companion they became
suspicious and fled from the Union sta

COATICOOK, Quebec, Sept. 5.—Wil
liam Travers Jerome relaxed his vigil
in the case of Harry K. Thaw today for
the first time since he was retained by
New York state to bring about the fu
gitive’s return to Matteawan. The rea
son was that Mr. Jerome was in jail.
For nearly an hour he stood in a small
cell in the Coaticook lock-up, charged
with gambling on railway property.
Shortly before noon he was released on
$500 bail for a hearing before a mag
istrate tomorfow morning.
Meanwnile the special board of in
quiry, sitting to determine whether
Thaw shall be deported, heard two wit
nesses and reached no decision. The
session, in secret, continued at noon and
word went out that the hearing would
go on until a verdict has been found.
Witnesses examined in the forenoon
were Thaw himself and Franklin Ken
nedy, deputy attorney general of New
York. Thaw was on the stand less than
two minutes. He was asked one ques
tion:
“Are you the man who killed Stanford
White?” •
“On the advice of counsel I decline
to answer,” said Thaw.
Kennedy identified the commitment
on which Thaw was first sent to Mat
teawan and the decrees remanding him
there after his defeat in various habeas
corpiys proceedings in New York.
The board adjourned at 1 o’clock with
the announcement that a decision would
be made at 4 p. m.
Jerome’s arrest grew out of hi sin-
formal card game with reporters
played on a suit case yesterday
near the Grrand Trunk railway station
where Thaw is held in the imigration
pen. It sent a thgjLJl through the town
and crowds followed the former district
attorney to the jail, some hooting him,
some shftuting: “Hooray for Thaw; de
port Jet,ome!”
Thaw’s lawyers unanimously denied
that they were in any way responsible
for Jerome’s arrest and Milford Al
drich, the complainant, said he had act
ed merely as a public spirited citizen.
He is a mill hand. He complained to
the prosecutor that he saw Jerome play
ing cards, and Justice of the Peace
James McKee signed the wararnt.
When told he was under arrest Jerome
started with surprise, then smiled grave
ly and was led away.
Mr. Jerome, as a specially appointed
deputy attorney general of the state of
New York, is the leader of the anti-
Thaw forces here.
Mr. Jerome was taken into custody
at his hotel by Policeman John An
drews. He was so surprised he
scarcely could speak. As a matter of
fact, he indulged In a penny anto game
yesterday with some newspaper men.
They used a suit case for a table and
sat in an automobile waiting for the
end of the Thaw hearing.
The charge is “common gambling on
railroad property.” The maximum pen
alty, according to the crown prosecu
tor, is one year’s imprisonment with
no option of a fine.
Though Jerome can be brought up
before a magistrate within forty-eight
hours, it is possible that he may be
held in jail until the forty-seventh hour
before being arraigned, according to the
prosecutor. Then he will be remanded
to jail in Sherbrooke to await the ac
tion of the grand jury of the king’s
bench in October. However, as soon
as he is remanded he can apply to the
superior court for bail. The warrant
on which Jerome was arrested was
sworn out before James McKeown, mag
istrate.
The non-appearance of any member
of the Thaw family barring the flying
trip of Mr. and Mrs. George Lauder
Carnegie to Sherbrooke has puzzled the
lawyers for both sides. One of the
Thaw lawyers today expressed the be
lief that the ThaWs did not want to see
Harry free.
The general opinion here this morn
ing was that the inquiry would be con
cluded today. William Travers Jerome,
especially deputized to land the fu
gitive back in the asylum spent
the morning until his arrest near
the hearing , room, his automobile
primed for a race to the Vermont bor
der whenever word should come that
deportation had been decreed.

MUEHLHAUSEN, Germany, Sept. 8.—
A crazed teacher named Wagner, who
murdered his wife and, four children
at Degerloch yesterday, set fire to the
village of Muehlhausen in four places
during last night and in a fusillade with
the villagers who tried to capture him
eight persons were shot and killed and
ten wounded.
The maniac took refuge in a stable,
where he killed all the cattle. He finally
was overpowered after he had exhausted
all the 250 cartridges with which he
had provided himself. The enraged vil
lagers wreaked their vengeance upon
hijn by clubbing him and stabbing bim
with/pitchforks. He probably will die.
When he entered Muehlhausen it was
not known that he was a fugitivb mur
derer. It was only after the wild scenes
which had been enacted here that tne
police went to his apartment in Deger
loch, where he had been teaching, and
found the bodies of his wife and chil
dren.
Doctors state that of the twenty
wounded by Wagner, five almost certain
ly will die and sfx others are in a se
rious condition.
After he had set fire to the first build
ing in the village Wagner opened fire
on pedestrians or on persons appearing
in windows.
The villagers believed the place had
been attacked by robbers. Some furi
ously rang church bells and others
dashed to the nearest barracks asking
for troops.
Meantime a village policeman backed
up by a passe rushed on Wagner, who
stood in the middle of the main street,
an army revolver in each hand and an
other pair in his belt.
The policenjan was twice wounded by
bullets, but continued to run toward
Wagner, although armed only with a
saber. He finally felled the maniac,
while he was reloading his revolvers.
Wagner continued the fight while on
the ground and wounded the policeman
a third time.
Some peasants, armed with rustic
weapons, reached the scene and frac
tured Wagner’s skull and severed one
of his hands.
Wagner was known to be a heavy
drinker, but his acquaintances in the
neighborhood had no suspicion of his
madness. He appears to have contem
plated his deed for a long time.
Before leaving Degerloch, where he
had killed his wife and foftr children,
he sent a letter to a Stuttgart news
paper in which he wrote:
“I believe there is no God. I am the
devil’s ally. I wish I could torture
every one within reach of my pistol, but
I know I cannot get all. I have slept
for years wtih a dagger and a revolver
beneath my pillow.”
