New York, Aug. 19.—Persistent ef- forts of the police to wrest Sam Schepps from the custody of District Attorney Whitman and representatives during his trip here from Hot Springs, Ark., have come to naught. Tonight, Schepps, one of the state’s most im- portant witnesses in the Rosenthal murder case, is a prisoner on a tech- nical charge in the West Side jail, and under the surveillance of men from the district attorney’s office, who have orders to allow no one to com- municate with him without credentials from Mr. Whitman himself. Will Corroborate Rose’s Story. Tomorrow Bchepps will-go before the grand jury and is expected to cor- roborate in every essential detail the story told by his friend, Jack Rose, upon which Police ILieut. Charles Becker was indicted for Rosenthal's assassination. Schepps reached here today accompanied by District Attor- ney Whitman himself, who joined the Schepps party at Albany. Dougherty Wants Custody of Prisoner How essential it seemed to Mr. Whitman that he should personally protect Schepps from New York police interference, appeared tonight when it was learned that Detective Al Thomas, the police officer who with Assistant District Attorney Rubin brought Schepps from Hot Springs, had re- celved during the journey east several telegrams from Deputy Police Com- missioner Dougherty, ordering him to bring the prisoner to police headquar- ters directly upon his arrival. The first telegram from Dougherty was re- ceived by Thomas August 15, en route from Bt. Louis and read: “Advise when and what route you take with Schepps and when due here.” More Messages from Dougherty. The next day a second message from Dougherty was delivered to the detec- tive at Clevelang and read: “Report at police headquarters with prisoner when arrive New York. An- swer that you understand.” omas, who, though a police detac- tive, is attached to the district attor- ney's office, did not answer either tel- egram until he had wired to Mr. Whit- man, who was then in Manchester. On August 17 Dougherty wired again: “When you arrive in New York city, report at police headquarters with prisoner. Advise date and what time and route you will depart on.” This was reeeived at Buffalo, Detective Replies to Dougherty, Thomas on the same day replied in a night letter as follows: “Leave Buffalo 10.50 a. m, August 19, due 9.26 a. m, via New York Cen- tral. At Hot Springs Schepps con- sented to walve extradition provided he be taken direct to Whitman, This agreement entered Into with Schepps by Whitman and Rubin. Schepps now in Custody—Police Detectives accompanied by his own counsel, Ber- nard Sandley. Under these conditions what will I do? Please answer.” This Dougherty did not answer, nor did the deputy commissioner answer a similar message sent by Thomas the next day. But when the train bear- ing Mr. Whitman and the Schepps party arrived today at the 125th street station in New York city. five head- quarters detectives, headed by Detec- tive Hagsegty, boarded it and demand- ed Schepps as their prisoner. Whitman Warns Police. “I will order the instant arrest of any officer who attempts to take Schepps to police headquarters,” Mr. ‘Whitman told Haggerty, “and you can present my compliments to your com- missioner.” Mr. Whitman explained to the de- tectives that as district attorney of the county he was thoroughly familiar with the evidence against Schepps as an alleged accomplice of the murder, and told them that it was insufficient to arrest him on such a charge, this being the one the police have made against him. Dougherty Acted Under Orders. “Schepps has come as a voluntary witness into the state on a pledge from me that he be protected, and 1 intend to protect him,” declared the district attorney. Other detectives were on hand at the Grand Central station, but no attempt to take Schepps into custody was made. Mr. Whitman, immediately after his arrival, got into telephone communication with the deputy com- missioner, who said, according to the district attorney “I was acting absolutely from Commissioner Waldo. be that the commissioner stood things in some way.” “I'll 8tick by You,” Schepps Tells Rose Schepps was arraigned and held on a technical charge of vagrancy. His fellow prisoners in the West Side jai are Rose, “Bridgie” Webber and Har- ry Vallon, with whom he exchanged greetings in the prison today | “I'm going to stick by you!” yelled Schepps when he spied Rose today be- hind a cell window across the court- yard of the prison. | On the trip from Albany, Mr. Whit- | man had a long oonference with the witness behind stateroom doors, and obtained from him, he safd, tonight, a story which materially strengthened hig evidence against Becker and other prisoners, seven in all, whom he ex- pects the grand jury will indict tomor- row. on orders It must misunder- Corroborated Rose’s Story. “He has corroborated everything in| Jack Rose's story that Rose said he | would,” said Mr. Whitman tonight. | Just what the details were, Mr, Whit- man refused to say, intimating that he. wished to keep them for the ears of the grand jury. SENATORS DEBATE ON PRESIDENTIAL TERMS. Comparative Virtues of Wilson and Roosevelt Discussed. Washington, Aug. 19.—The first at- tempt of the senate to debate the ‘Works resolution for a single six year term for president and vice president plunged that body today into another open discussion of the political situs tlon. Sepator Cummins made the chief speech in support of the resolu- tion, but was interpolated with a run- ning fire of comment from progres sives, republicans and democrats. Be- fore its conciusion the brief debate became an issue between Senator Borah of ldaho, republican, and Sena- tor Willlams of Mississippi, democrat, as to whether Colonel Roosevelt or Governor Wilson had been guilty of greater indiscretion in use of language in their writings of recent years. Senator Borah read from one of Governor Wilson's works to show that the democratic candidate had favored long tenure of the presidency office. “The governor has endorsed the Baltimore platform,” sald Senator Wil- llams, democrat “He may yleld to his platform, but 1 doubt if he ylelds to his judgment,” sald Senator Borah. “1 think the senator will admit," petorted Senator Willlams, “that Gov- ®rnor Wilson has never written morae recklessly than Theodore Roosevelt." “If the colonel has written some things which he ought not to hav: written,” replied Senator Borah, “he has written a great many things for | which the public is indebted to him," Senator Wililams declared Governor Wilson had never said anything un- kind about the men who had been presidents of the United States since fts foundation. “I offer a good $2.50 chromo to any- one,” he said, “who will show me any comment made by Colonel Roosevelt of any president except Abraham Lin- coln and himself, which was in any way complimentary.” Sepator Williams proposed a con- etitutional amendment as a substitute for the Works resolution limiting a president to two terms of four years each. He gald this would be more in accord with the spirit of the founders of the constitution. He declared there had been only two men with “audaci- ty"” enough to “go outside the estab- lished precedent” of two terms. One was General Grant, “who was rebuked by his own party,” said the senator. “The other one is rather a recent incident,” he cantinued, “but I think ft will not be found at all difficult to take care of him™" OBITUARY.

HORRIBLE BUTCHERY BY ENGLISH ARMY OFFICER. Kills Wife and Three Children and Wounds Paramour. London, Aug. 19.—Reports, which were given scare heads in the earlier afternoon editions of the London newspapers, that a rich. American named Mackio had murdered his wife and three children and had then com- mitted suicide by shooting with a re- yolver, horrified the American colony here. Later the American residents were greatly relisved when investiga- tion disclosed the fact that the author of the horrible butchery was not an American, but the story is one of the most revolting tragedies that has oc- curred in England in recent years. Captain Hicks Murray, formerly of the Gordon Highlanders, some seven or eight years ago took as his mistress Florence Taylor, a young woman of re- spectable family, and two years ago he married Florence’s younger sister, Edith. By the Taylor woman Murray had two chfldren and by his wife one. Mrs. Murray did not live with her hushand long, but her sister remained in the house. Representing , himself as Richard Charles Mackie, an American, the for- mer army officer a few weeks ago | rented a house in Eastbourne, a fash- ionable watering place, 66 miles south- west of London, installing there the Taylor woman and their two children. Last Sunday night the legal wife ap- peared on the scene and the tragedy followed. Murray in a fit of frenzy whipped out a revolver and shot his wife and the three little ones dead. He also fired two shots at the Tay- lor woman, both bullets taking effect, then, after seiting fire to the house, committed suicide. The bodies of the five persons killed were found charred in the ruins of the building. The injured woman who was the on- ly occupant of the apartment to escape alive, was taken to a hospital, where she lies tonight in a hysterical condi- tion. She was visited at the hospital this afternoon by another sister, who said that her brother-in-law was for- merly a captain of the Scots Grays and later connected with the territorfalists. He had twice suffered from sunstroke | e? while in India, she said, and had shown signs of insanity, for a time having been confined in an asylum. GENERAL BOOTH IN A SERIOUS CONDITION.

San Franciseo, Aug. 19.—Rumors that Dr. Sun Yat Sen, first provisional president of China, had been assassin- ated in Peking today by ‘the soldiers of | President Yuan Shi Kai caused great excitment in Chinatown. The rumors could be traced to no authentic source, but varving accouns of the allezed as- sassination were posted on bulletin boards throughout the Chinese quar- ter. At the offices of the Chinese consul general and the two Chinese da newspapers no news of an attack upon Dr. Sun had been received, and the | report of his death was given little credence. | Cablegrams were despatched. to Peking, however, inquiring as to the safely of the former revolutionary leader.

Wood- row Wilsen today addressed the an- nual plenle of the Plattdeutscher Verein, a German-American organiz- ation from the entire metropolitan district. “We are asking ourselves this ques- tion,” said the gov®fnor, “as we face the coming elections in November, ‘Which is the open road to get what we want?"” A man in the heart of the crowd took advantage of the rhetorical pause and answered: “Taft!” There was a moment’s silence when another voic nearer the front shouted “Wllso: The crowd took it up and cheered. When the demonstration had subsided the goverror pointed in the direction of the man who had answered “Taft” and continued with a emile: Will Be in a Blind Alley. “Our friend over there is perfectly welcome to use his road, but if he goes that way he will find that he is in a blind alley, because there is one thing that was proved at Baltimere, and that was that the people of the United States choose their candidates and the bosses do not.” The governor dwelt upon the re- sponsibility of the government making this country attractive to the foreigner, so that when he did come he would find it a “place of economic op- portunity where a man may choose his own career.” Has Made No Promises. “Now, one of the things that makes me confident of the future,” continued the governor, “is that the men who are offering themselves to you on the tick- et that I happen to be on are free men. Nobody owns them. So far as I am concerned, I not only have not made a promise to any man, but no man has dared ask me to make a promise. My ears are free, therefor to hear the counsels of my fellow cit- izens.” —_— BENEFITS THE TRUSTS. Roosevelt's Comment on Re- cent Trust Prosecutions. Oyster Bay, N. Y.

The only method of dealing with the trusts which was more absurd than that of the present administration, he said, was that recommended by the Stanley congressional committee, The proper way to meet the question, he continued, was outlined in the pro- gressive platform, which advocates an interstate industrial commission to reg- ulate corporations.

Message Read in Congress. The president discussed the mes- sage with senators and members of the house, and its wording was finally decided upon at a meeting of the cab- inet which began at luncheon time and lasted until late in the afternoon. The message was read In congress soon afterward and will be taken up to- morrow by committees of both houses. It was the belief here tonight that a determined effort will be made to meet the president's wishes, altheugh some leaders, particularly in the house, were inciined to believe that the mes- sage meant no furthr action in regard to the canal at the present session. To Show Our Spirit of Fairne: Mr., Taft explained that he was anx- | fous to sign the present bill, but wish- ed to assure other governments of the spirit of fairness on the part of the United States. The president was told that an act of congress would have the effect of abrogating any treaty previously agreed to, and the decision of the supreme court over the Chinese exclusion act was given as the au- thority for the statement. His sug- gestion to congress for additional leg- islation designed to prevent any such | construetion as that of the supreme court in the Chinese case would allow foreigners to try their cause in the United States courts. It reads as fol- lows: The President’s Suggestion. “That nothing contained in the act entitled ‘An act to provide for the opening, maintenance, protection and operation of the Panama canal and the sanitation and government of the ca- nal zone’' shall be remedied to repeal any provision of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, or to affect the judicial con- struction thereof, or In any wise to impalr any rights or privileges which | have been or may be acquired by any [ foreign natien under the treaties of | the United States relative to tolls or | other charges for the passage of ves- | sels through the Panama canal, and | that ‘when any alien, whether natural | person, partnership, company, or cor- poration, considers that the charging of tolls or the enforcement of any other regulation under and pursuant to the provisions of this act violates in any way such treaty rights or privi- leges, ch alien shall have the right to bring an actien against the United | States for a redress of the injury whieh he econsiders himself te have uffered, and the district courts of the United Btates are hereby given juris- tion to hear and determine such | cases and to decree the appropriate | relief, and from the decision of such district ceurts there shall be an ap- peal by either party to the action to | the supreme court of the United States.” An Earnest of Our Good Faith, | “This language,” continued the mes- sage, “negatives absolutely any desire on the part of congress to repeal the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, or to violate its provisions by this legislation, and leaves open to any person who deems himself aggrieved by the provisions of the act an opportunity to appeal to | our court | “I think the importance of our | standing before the world as anxious to give to the world an opportunity to test this question in the courts, is an earnest of our good faith in at- tempting to keep within our treaty | obligations. | No_Intention to Violate Treaty. | “After full examination of the treaty | and of the treaty which preceded LA | feel confident that the exemption of | the coastwise vessels of the United States from tolls and the imposition of tolls on vessels of all nations en- gaged in the foreign trade is not a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. But distingulshed lawyers in the house and senate differ from this construc- tlon, and the secretary of state has received an informal protest from the British government that the contem- plated legislation is a violation of her treaty rights. “I am sure that it is hot the in- tention of congress to violate the Hay- Pauncefote treaty or to enact any. thing inconsistent with its provisions and it certainly is not its purpose to repeal, by subsequent enactment, the treaty, in so far as it represents the law of the land. Tt s of the highest importance, therefore, that this atti- tude should be made clearly known to the nations of the world and that we should avoid any apparent justification for eriticism.” Suggestion Not Likely to Be Adopted. The message, after being read in the | house, was referred to the interstate commerce committee on motion of Democratic Leader Underwood. The committee has adjourned for the ses- sion and Chairman Underwood moved | to have the biil left on the speakers | tabie, but the house immediately voted | otherwise. “It’s gone to hed so far as | the ho is concerned,” was Mr. Ad- amson’s remark. He added that he had not been able to command a quo- weeks. There is no disposition on the part of the house leaders so far as they would indicate tonight to attemptl to press a resolution, of the character of that recommended by the president. There was an informal conference be- tween Representative Sherley ofé Ken- tucky, who talkd with the president on the subject, and others who bave taken & prominent part in Panama legislation in the house, and the sen- timent expressed was that there would be no further legislation and that if the president vetoed the bill the whole matter would go over to the December sesslon of congress, Airehip for German Navy, Berlin, Aug. 19.—The first airship to belong to the German navy is to be a Zeppelin, which is to be completed and taken over by Ootober 1.

He was shot down by a little force of troops which had been sent out imto the wilderness in pursuit, with orders not to return without the outlaw, dead or alive. Case Reported Yesterday.

He had established an organized administration over the wild, trackless country, and among the n tives was a virtual if uncrowned king, Suffered Hardships and Dangers. The success of the outlaw in hand- ling his “subjects,” and in the pursuit of his trade, drew from Captain Fox, in his report, the tribute that Rogers’ work was worthy of a better cause, Not since the explorer, Henry M. Stan- ley, pierced the jungles in 1871 and found Dr. Livingstone, has such a tale of hardships, triale and dangers coma out of Africa. Captain Fox's report in this respect resembles most nearly perhaps the tale of General Funston's dogged pursult of Aguinaldo in the Philippines. HIS WIFE RE-MARRIED.
