“RANK BABY ACT!”
• ,
Declares President Roosevelt in
Regard to Surprising Act of
Speaker Henderson.
"Henderson’s withdrawal was a ba
by act, a rank baby act!”
In these.words President Roosevelt,
Indignant at the unexpected step taken
by the speaker, relieved his feelings
in the presence of visitors at Saga
more Hill Wednesday.
Speaker Henderson's action has ta
ken the president and the republican
leaders by surprise and all took. ufym;
it as a back-handed slap at the d-
mlnlstratlon.
Had the president been informed
of what Mr. Henderson was contem
plating, his friend! Say bis action
would never have been taken, for Mr,
Judge William R. Day delivered the
chief McKinley memorial day address
at Canton, Ohio, Sunday, in the First
Methodist Episcopal church, of which _ . .. -
the late president was a member, and Roosevelt would have prevailed upon
in which the funeral was held Septem- the 8 D eaker 8ta y *» the race, on the
Septem
ber 19,1901.
In addition to the tribute paid by
Judge Day, who was secretary of
state in the McKinley cabinet, and a
close friend and adviser to the mar
tyred president, there was a general
observance of the day in Canton,
which claimed him as Us own. From
almost every pulpit there was refer
ence in prayer or in address to him
and his work. _
were sung.
Although deeply conscious of the
fact that it was just one year ago that
ground that the welfare of his party
demanded it
As soon as the president heard the
news ( he sent this dispatch to Mr. Hen-
derson: '
"Oyster Bay, September 17.—Most
seriously ask that you reconsider your
determination not to run.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
But Speaker Henderson replied at
His favorite hymns I, once that he must decline to recon
sider his withdrawal and gave the
president his assurance that there
was no danger of republicnn defeat

her husband died, Mrs. McKinley dicf to bis district and that he will do
not vary the programme followed by
her for several months. Her usual
trip to Westlawn cemetery was taken
in the forenoon and she laid flower! on
the casket that contains the remains
of the nation's mkrtyred chief. Mrs.
Garret A. Hobart, who is her guest,
went with her into the McKinley tomb
aod also laid a boquet of flowers on
the coffin. •
The afternoon and evening were
spent at the McKinley home. During
the day there were many visitors at
the McKinley vault.
Appropriate services were also held
in Buffalo, Cincinnati, New York and
Chicago.
There were special programs in
many churches, including musical
numbers to the martyred president
The principal speaker at one of the
Chicago churches wan Bishop Fallow,
who spoke in part as follows:
"The anarchy which knows no gov
ernment , and destroys rather than up^
lifts, wm responsible for the death of
President McKinley. We also have nn
anarchism of wealth, which is used
not for the welfare of mankind, but
for its Injury and oppression. The
way to suppress anarchy Is to keep in
mind the sentiments of President Mc
Kinley and praotice reciprocity at
home flrst, and then abroad. Let there
be reciprocity between capital and la
bor and a recognition of mutual rights.
Let rights be given to employes as
American citizens. What a spectacle
is made when in a conflict between
capital and labor, men say: 'There is
nothing to arbitrate.' Such action Is
akin to lawlessness. If we carry out
President McKinley's idea of Chris-
tlon reciprocity, however, all will be
well."
LIKE ANCIENT POCAHONTAS.
Samoan Raid Intervenes to Save Life
of Captured American,
E. M. Taylor, a well known Man
chester, Va., man, whose five years'
absence from home without explana
tion led his family to mourn him os
lost, has just returned and tells a
thrilling story of his three years' im
prisonment by cannibals In one of tho
Samoan Islands. That Mr. Taylor es
caped death Is miraculous, as several
of his companions were instantly
slain upon capture.
His escape Is due to the fact that
one of the chief’s daughters—Yabow
by name—become enamored of him,
and, as in the case of John Smith, In
terceded for his life and was granted
the boon by her father. Mr. Taylor,
however, was Imprisoned for three
years, finally escaping and, swimming
two miles, reached a tramp oyster
sloop bound for Honolulu.

GASTON GETS NOMINATION.
Massachusetts Democrats Meet and
Name a Fall State Ticket.
Acrimony was not wanting for a
time in the Massachusetts democratic
state convention in Boston Wednes
day, hut in the end harmony was re
stored and the state ticket, beaded by
William A. Gaston, ot Boston, was en
thusiastically greeted.
A Washington special says: With
the double purpose of protecting the
long-suffering Jews of the Balkan
states, and of averting the very pres
ent peril of the immigration Into the
United States of a horde of paupers,
Secretary Hay has adopted the unus
ual course of appealing to the pow
ers of Europe to force one of their
children to observe the obligations of
humanity In the case of the Jews.
The appeal takes the form of a state
paper, remarkable in several respects,
which has been dispatched in identical
form to every ambassador and minis
ter of the United States residing in
one ot the t-ourts of countries, which
.were parties to the famous Berlin
treaty of 1878, namely, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Aus
tria and Turkey, marking the termina
tion of the Turko-Russian war, and
the creation by the direct act of the
powers of the Independent Balkan
states. Because the powers are thus
responsible for the existence of Rou-
mania, the culprit In this case, the
secretary of state has directed tho
note tq them In the hope that they will
bring bis government to a sence of
Its duties toward civilization at large,
as well as to cause it to ameliorate
tho frightful condition of the Rouma
nian Jews. In a measure,' this action
by the department of state may be
traced to numerous petitions from
Jewish societies and humanitarians
generally, as well as to the warnings
of publicists respecting the growing
dangers of the Immigration of degen
erates.
The document, which Is dated Au
gust 11,, says in part:
"The United States welcomes now,
as It has welcomed from the founda
tion of its government, the voluntary
Immigration ot all aliens coming hith
er under conditions fitting them to be
come merged into the body politic of
this land. Our laws provide the means
for them to become Incorporated in-
dlstlngulshably in the mass of citi
zens, and prescribe their absolute
equality with the native-born, guaran
teeing to them equal civil rights at
home and equal protection abroad.
The voluntary character of their com
ing is essential; hence, we shut out
all immigration assisted or constrain
ed by foreign agencies. The purpose
of our generous treatment ot the alien
Immigrant Is to benefit us and him
alike—not to afford to another stato a
field upon which to cast Its own ob
jectionable elements. It behooyes the
state to scrutinize most jealously the
character of the Immigration from a
foreign land, and. If it be, obnoxious
to objection, to examine tho causes
which render It so.
"With the lapse of time these Just
prescriptions have been rendered nu
gatory In great part, as regards the
native Jews, by the legislation and
municipal regulations of Roumania.
Starting from the arbitrary and con
trovertible premise that >the natlv6
Jews of Roumania, domiciled they* for
centuries, are ‘aliens now subject to
foreign protection,’ the ability of the
Jew to earn even the scanty means of
existence that suffice for a frugal race
has been constricted by degrees, until
nearly every opportunity to win a
livelihood is denied; end. until the
helpless poverty ot the Jew has con
strained an exodus of such propor
tions as to cause general concern.”

VI OMEN AND WINE
milionaire Banker Fish in a
New York Grog Shop.
Nicholas Fish, millionaire, diplomat
and descendant of one of the best
American families, died at the Roose
velt hospital in New York at 3:25
o’clock Tuesday morning, the result of
an injury received in Ehardt’a saloon,
205 West 34th street Monday night.
Whether he was murdered or fell,
the police have not yet determined.
A policeman found Mr. Fish lying
unconscious on the sidewalk in front
of the saloon and summoned an am
bulance in which he was taken to the
Roosevelt hospital, where his identity
was revealed by papers found in his
possession.
A dispatch was sent to Mrs. Fish,
who was at Tuxedo, and who reached
the hospital soon after midnight, re
maining at the side of her husband,
who never regained consciousness.
As soon as the fact: of Mr. Fish’s
identity was established, a dozen de
tectives were sent on the trail of, his
companions, and before daylight
they were traced to the house In
which the women lived and were ar
rested. After being arraigned in the
police court they were brought before
Coroner Jackson, who,, after a prelimi
nary inquiry, held Sharkey in $10,000
ball on the charge of homicide and the
women as witnesses. Detective Tro
jan, who made the arrest, declared in
an affidavit ^hat Sharkey admitted to
him that he struck Mr. Fish. Both
the women made sworn statements,
but these District Attorney Jerome
has refused to make public.
Mr. Fish was the head of one of
tho most distinguished families in the
United States, a banker of . great
wealth and one time minister at the
court of Belgium.
The Inquest will be held Friday.
Mrs. Fish, who was completely pros
trated, remained at the hospital all
night and Tuesday morning went to
her home In Irving Place, accompa
nied by her brothers-in-law, Hamilton
Fish and Stuyvesant Fish. After the
autopsy Mr. Fish’s body was removed
to the house.
According to the police Mr. Fish en
tered Ehrhardt’s saloon Monday ' af
ternoon with Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Casey. The police say that Mrs. Phil
lips knew who Fish was, but that
neither Mrs. Casey nor Sharkey, who
subecquently joined the party, were
aware of hie Identity. Sharkey, who
knew the women, was not reluctant -to
Join the party when one of the women
invited him to. The police say that
Fish did most of the buying. Fish
then discovered that his money was
exhausted and be announced that he
would have to draw a check. Sharkey,
Ignorant of Fish’s identity, questioned
his'ability to make his check good.
Fish, it is said, took offense at this,
and angry words ensued.
Then, according to the police, some
one slapped Fish’s face. One of the
women, clinging to Fish's arm, drag
ged hlin toward the door of the sa
loon and out to the sidewalk. The po
lice say that Sharkey attempted to
follow Fish, but for a moment was re
strained from lolng so by the other
woman. .He: finally went out of the
saloon and he and Fish encountered
each other on'the sidewalk.
