SAD WORK OF THUGS
Kill a-Policeman and. Injure
a Car Crew.
STRIKE TROUBLE AT BOTTOM
Assault Was Made by Eight Masted
Men, Who Were Evidently Bent
en Killing: Those on the
Offending Car.
"WATERBURY, Conn., March 8. Vio
lence In Us worst form has broken out
anew in Waterbury as a result of the :
high feeling in connection with the strike ;
of the motormen and conductors of the '
Connecticut Rallro'ad & Lighting Com
pany. Policeman Paul Mendelsohn was
killed tonight; John W. Chambers, a non
union motorman, was shot, and his con
ductor, George "VVebernordorfer, was
pounded Into Insensibility.
The scene of the crime was at Forest
Park, the terminus of the North Main
street line. The spot Is isolated and the
car reached the end of the line and the
crew made preparations for the return
trip. Immediately after the conductor
turned the trolley and the motorman re
versed his levers, eight masked men
sprang from the bushes by the roadside,
entered the car and discharged their re
volvers, every man being armed. Officer
Mendelsohn fell at the first report and. as
a later examination showed, the first shot
was fatal, having pierced his heart. The
motorman was also 'hit and leaped from
his car with a cry of pain. Some of the
men followed him while the remainder
turned their attention to the conductor.
He was thrown to the floor of the car
and pounded and kicked until he was un
conscious. The men then left him and
Joined their companions outside.
From this point in the attack their ac
tions are wrapped In mystery and are
causing much apprehension. Webernor
dofer saw his -motorman leap from the
car when he was shot and he also saw
him followed by the murderers.
The conductor regained his senses with
difficulty and went to the side of the
policeman who, he -found, was dead. The
conductor, hardly able to stand, went to
the controller and started the car back
toward the city. On the way he met an
other car, the crew of which relieved the
Injured man and hurried to the city for
assistance.
The body of the dead policeman was car
ried Into police headquarters and "VVeber
nordorfer was also taken there. An alarm
was sent around the city by the police
and In a few moments the entire detective
department, accompanied by 13 police
men, went to the scene of the murder. A
thorough search was made for Chambers,
but at midnight he had not been found.
Despite the diligent search nbt a clew
could be found as to the perpetrators
of the murder.
The car when It reached the city showed
that a volley of shots had been fired at
the three defenseless men. The shots hav
ing been fired while the trolley pole was
off, the three men being In perfect dark
ness. At the time of the shooting the streets
were practically deserted because of the.
heavy downpour of rain which had been
falling all evening, but the news spread
about the city like wildfire and half an
hour after the car carrying Its victim
reached the center of the city there were
at least 200 persons In the vicinity of
police headquarters, where the body had
been taken, and public feeling Is running
high.
Shortly after midnight the searching
officers came upon Motorman Chambers.
His head was covered with blood, but It
was found that he had not been struck
by a bullet, but had been pounded upon
the head with the butt of a revolver. He
told a startling story of his experiences.
He said that as soon as he leaped from
the car four men followed him, firing their
revolvers. He ran for the swamps near
by and when he discovered that his pur
suers gained on him, ho laid down. The
murderers rushed by without discover
ing him. He fell in with a policeman
afterwards, who conducted him to the car
barns, where his injuries were attended
to.

Expression on Monroe Doctrine.
WASHINGTON, March 8. The com
munication from the Argentine Republic
refrred to from Buenos Ayres, It Is un
derstood here, was a direct result of the
blockade of the ports of Venezuela by the
allied powers. It was learned here to
night that Senor Drago, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Argentina, sent to the
Minister here, Senor Merou, a long In
struction giving the views of his govern
ment on the general question of the nihil
ity of American states for debts growing
out of injuries to foreigners or of default
in the payment of loans contracted by the
states. Argentina desired to know how
the Government of the United States re

formal representation to this Government
or merely a verbal statement of the Min

that Secretary Hay in his reply to the
Minister quoted from President Roosj
velt's recent message, and advocated set
tlement of the disputes by arbitration
"when the claims were not capable of ad
justment by the peaceful methods of
diplomacy.
In this connection. It is well known
from their public statements on the sub

Secretary Hay do not believe that the
South American governments should be
shielded from the collection of lust riohts
against 'them by European nations so long
as In the enforcement of the payment of
tnose oongauons no question of American
sovereignty Is Involved and no attempt to
acquire territory is made.

the
INDIANAPOLIS. March 8. The official
report of Chris Evans, who was sent to
the West Virginia coal fields to Investi
gate the killing of colored miners at At
klnsville. has been received at the head
quarters of the United Mine workers.
The report says that General St. Clair,
who Is the attorney of the coal companies,
created an agitation to have the men ar
rested and taken to Charleston, and that
immediately afterward arrangements were
made with the United States Marshals by
the mlneworkers' officials to Eire bond for
all who were arrested, but that later, oh
account of agitation created by Deputy
Marshal Cunningham, the agreement en
tered into with the Marshal was broken
and Cunningham was eent to arrest the
men.
According to the report, there was great
feeling against Cunningham and the men
decided not to allow him to arrest them.
and he was dilven away. Mr. Evans
says that he sent a telegram to the men
to submit ouletly. but that the coal com
panies, who own all of the telegraph and
telephone lines connecting with the town,
refused to deliver it and before he could
get any mereage to the men, Cunningham
and hl3 deputies, who, he said, were the
worst characters he could collect, went to
the town a second time and killed the
miners In the night time In their beds.
Mr. Evans says that he went to the
scene of the trouble the next morning
after 4S men had been arrested for con
spiracy to kill . Cunningham, and found
there In a house occupied by a colored
man the dead bodies of William Dodson.
William Clark and Richard Clayton, all
colored. The report continues:
"On inquiry we found that the wife of
the colored man. with four children, to
gether with eight colored men, were In the
house and that about daybreak all that
were Inside were awakened by shots being
fired, into the house from the outside.
This shooting took place without anything
being said to those on the inside and the
three colored men I have mentioned were
found dead on the floor. Two 'were in
their night clothes and the other one was
partly dressed with one shoe on, partly
laced, and the other foot bare.
"We visited another house where Josenh
Hlser lay In bed mortally wounded, having
been shot through the window as he was
stooping to put on his trousers after get
ting out or bed. Hlser lived with his sister
and she made the statement at the inquest

to kill her children and In reply. Cunning
ham said: 'Women and children must take
care of themselves.
"In no instance could we find whera
these people had been asked to surrender
until after the deputies had commenced to
ehoot at the occupants ,of the houses
named.
"We next went to the house of Laicinn
Lawson, who was considered mortally
wounded. I am led to understand that
after the shooting referred to, this man.
with others, returned the fire of the posse
and this Is the only Instance where any
attempt was made to fire on the part of
uie miners, jjunng the shooting In many
Instances the men and women pleaded
with the men outside to have mercy on
them, but their cries were met -orith

Our Investigation proves conclusively
that no effort had been made to shoot or

but that all would have been too glad to
have surrendered If they had been allowed
the opportunity to do so."
Mr. Evans says that the Coroner's Jury
returned a verdict of felonious killing
against Cunnlnsrham for th tnin,

NEW YORK. March S.-At the head
quarters of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers It
was denied today that the striking iron
workers had refused to Inform the officers
of the American Bridge Company of the
nature of their grievances.
"Our strike was not declared in sym

a representative of the association '-'For
some time the American Bridge Company

the union Is weak. It has been looking

that we have made no effort to settle our

"The president of the International As

TO H. W. BEECHER.

punishment for unnumbered multitudes
'were conspicuous, and while perhaps he
never wholly rejected its affirmations, his
sermons bubbled over with indications of
a belief that the Almighty would prove
to be more merciful than the Puritan and
Pilgrims were willing he should be. While
he may never have caliea mm sen a urn
versallst, among the strictly orthodox his
theology was always an ooject oi sus
picion. They felt that he had too much
confidence In the boundless mercy of the
Infinite, but the doubt as to his theology
never emptied the pews.
"While Henry Ward Beecher thundered
forth the inexorable demands of justice
and righteousness, there was a minor key
which sweetly sang out blessed words of
comfort and bade all sorrowing and fallen
ones look to the heights whence cometh
the strength and peace.
It Is fitting then, that on this anni
versary of his death we gather today to
do homage to his memory; fitting that in
this city, where his great work was aone,
there be erected a memorial building
which shall speak his name to those who
shall come after us. So. until struggling
humanity no longer needs the uplifting
power of love and sympathy on its ap
pealing heart will be seen In undlmmed
letters the name of Henry Ward Beecher."
Scope of the Movement.
Rev. Newell Dwlght Hlllls, pastor of
Plymouth Church, then outlined the scope
of the Beecher memorial movement ana
the plans of the committee. He said:
Thl3 movement to bulla some memorial
to Henry Ward Beecher grew out ot a
striking emergency. As you all know,
his old church, Plymouth, Is in a down
town district. The time Is not far off
when commerce will crowd out the
churches. Thus far a kind of fatality has
attended Beechor's work. He wrote the
first of the great hymn books and It was
deemed best to change the name. He
founded a great religious newspaper, but
the name of its founder and editor no
longer appears. His church. Plymouth,
was the scene of his greatest work and
there he taught men the love of God;
there he made his protest against slavery;
there he mado his plea for liberty; there
ho taught us charity and toleration be
tween the churches; there he labored to
overthrow the old Calvinism and to
humanize theology, and there he taught us
the law of sympathy and service for the
poor and weak alike. Looking forward
Into the future, our committee forecast
the day when Plymouth Church shall be
to New York and Brooklyn what the Old
South Church Is to Boston. It is a his
toric building and should be preserved.
but if it Is to be preserved It must be
done by those of us who love Mr. Beecher.
This memorial movement includes sev
eral different features. First, to con
demn the whole or part of the block on
which Plymouth Church Is situated as a
little public park to be named the Henry
Ward Beecher Park. Many pray for the
removal of Mr. Beecher's remains to this
park. It is also proposed to erect a
Beecher Memorial Hall to contain the pul
pit from which Beecher sold the slave girl.
the pulpit from which Lyman Beecher
preached his sermon on duelling the Sun
day after .the death of Alexander Hamil
ton, and the sermon on 'Temperance
which developed into the Washingtonian
movement, with the manuscripts of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Mr. Beecher's sister, to
gether with the portraits, photographs.

In his Hfe. of which nearly 100 exist: to
overture to some Abbey or Sargent for a
series of paintings portraying the great
scenes in the history of American patriot
iem.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
will be needed to carry out these plans.
The executive committee believes that Mr.
Beecher's name and work belong to the
entire country. This memorial hall of
patriotism Is to belong to all citizens,
Catholic and Protestant. Jew and Gentile.
poor and rich alike. We hope there will
be found In various parts of the country
some men wno wm give iM.wj or $20,000 or
$10,000 each, more will give $5000 each, 100
men who will give 51000 each, 1000 men
who will give $500 or $200 or $100 or $50
each, and thousands of others who will
give smaller sums down to $L We would
also suggest that the great clubs In our
clues, political clubs and commercial
clubs, set apart a night for the review of
Mr. Beecher's career, his life and work.
The committee will gladly put these clubs
m the various cities In touch with men
wno win present to them the life and
wonts or Beecher.
At the conclusion of the addresses
subscription for the Beecher Memorial
Fund was started by Mrs. W. C. Wallace
with a contribution of $10,000. Other con
tributors were Henry W. Fhipps, $1000;
Dr. R. W. Raymond. $2500; John Arbukle,
$5000. The total amount of the subscrip
tions was not announced.
Perfect Confidence.
Where there used to be a feelins ot
uneasiness and worry in the household
when a child showed symptoms of croup,
there Is now perfect confidence. This Is
owing to . the uniform success of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy in the treatment
of that disease. Mrs. M. L Basford, of
Poolcsvllle. Md., in speaking of her ex
perience In the use of that remedy, says:
'I have a world of confidence In Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for I have used
it with perfect success. My child. Gar
land, Is subject to severe attacks of croup
nnd it always gives him prompt relief.'

THREE WOMEN IN I
Additional Clews in Buffalo
Murder Mystery,
THE THREE MAY HAVE BEEN 0KE
The Lone Woman, the Lost Woman
aud Another Woman, la as Near
as the Police Have Come to
Establishing Their Identity.
BUFFALO, March 8. The most impor
tant development In the Burdick murder
mystery today wa3 the discovery by the
police of evidence to corroborate the story
told by. Policeman Meyer of meeting a
woman on Ashland avenue about 1 o'clock
on the night of the murder. The fact that
the police are still working on this clue
Indicates that they have not abandoned
the theory that a woman had a hand In
the crime.
The three unknown women who have
figured In the case are described as the
"lone woman," the "lost woman," and the
woman taken to the corner of Ashland
avenue and Summer street by a cab driver.
The general description given to the police
by those who saw a woman In the vicinity
of the Burdick house on the night of the
murder tallies in many details. The three
were seer, at different times and urider
unusual circumstances. The woman of
whom the cabman has giv:n information,
was taken to the corner of Ashland ave
nue and Summer stret shortly after mid
night. She walked rapidly up Ashland
avenue In the direction of the Burdick
house. The "lone woman" was met by
Patrolman Meyer at Ashland and Bryant
at 1-A. M., on the same night. The "lost
woman" was met at about 1:30 A. M.,
within four blocks of the Burdick home.
It Is the opinion of the doctors who ex
amined Burdlck's body on the following
morning that he had been killed between
12 and 1 o'clock. A well-known business
man directed the "lost woman" to a car.
She told him she wanted to get up to the
corner of Franklin and Tupper streets.
Her manner was excited and nervous. The
'lost woman" took a car down town about
1:30. The business man saw her board the
car. That would bring her down town
about 2 o'clock. The cab driver was on
lower Main street at that hour and was
surprised to see there the "fare" whom he
had taken to Ashland and Summer streets
two hours before. Whether these three
women are one and the same Is the ques
tion the police will endeavor to answer.
As a result of today's work along this
line they have been able to get one more
witness to confirm their belief that they
are the same. The new witness was on
his way home in the Elmwood district
about 1:15 on the night ot the murder. He
met a woman unaccompanied hurrying
along Ashland avenue. The place where he
met hex was one block north where a
woman had been seen by Meyer.

WALL STREET IN BERLIN
Appears There a Borrower," bat Ger
mans Are Waxy.
BERLIN, March IThe events in Wall
street received unusual attention on the
Bourse here la3t week and caused specu
lators to show greit reserve, which was
Increased by the rising money rates. Do
mestic and government bonds lost frac
tionally and most of the foreign accounts
were weaker. Canadian Pacifies were sold
heavily, owing to reaction In New York,
the week's drop being 5.37. The Influence
of Wall street, however, Is felt here chief
ly as a borrower of money, for which It
Is offering 6 per cent and above. Much
was taken for New York yesterday, but
several of the Berlin houses and New
York connections showed manifest disin
clination to place money there now, be
lieving that the existing' rates of ex
change would not continue and that they
might Incur loss upon the withdrawals of
the loans. A further reason for not lend
ing to Wall street wis that Germany has
lent Immense sums to London and Paris,
which must reverse the present high rates
of exchange when the loans are repaid.
These considerations and the American
demand raised the private rate of discount
to .
The industrial market showed an Irregu
lar tendency last week. Coal shares were
higher, while Irons were lower, although
the Iron market reports remain favorable.
The Slleslan Rolling Mills Association
raised Its prices 5 marks per. ton for the
next quarter. The American demand for
pig Iron increased, and American pur
chases are also reported from Austria.
The banks were moderately lower upon
the disappointment of the exaggerated
hopes of speculators caused by the annual
reports. Electricals were lower, as also
were ocean transportation shares. Ma
chineries were partly higher.
The Hamburg and Berlin grain import
ers are renewing their complaints regard
ing the quality of American corn. The
present complaints refer to New Orleans
shipments as being mixed. The importers
threaten to exclude New Orleans certifi
cates unless the shipments Improve.
Downward Tendency in London.
LONDON, March 8. The stock market
lost week was absolutely featureless ex.
cept for Grand Trunks, the January re
port of which showed a quick realization
by the bulls, who had been bearing them
for some weeks. This flurry affected the
general trading, which continued dull.
though there was still some evidence that
the general public was coming into the
market. Consols, which rallied last Mon
day on the dividend declared, dropped
when the advance Induced holders to sell
and continued depressed during the re
malnder of the week. Americans were
dull, the list generally showing the. clos
ing prices to be below the previous week.
This, moreover, was true of all the de
partments with few exceptions. The scare
lty of money, the extreme cautiousness
displayed by outsiders and the depression
on Wall street were tributary causes of
the unfavorable conditions prevailing
here.

Pledges Redeemed.
Indianapolis Journal.
The Republican Congress has kept the
pledges made during the campaign last
Fall relative to anti-trust legislation.
Everything that was distinctly outlined as
necessary In the way of legislation was
completed by the passage of the Elkins
bill to prevent and punish discriminations
among railroad shippers. The enactment
of the laws above referred to will enable
the Republicans to say that all that has
been promised by the President and party
leaders has been performed. It Is a great
satisfaction to be able to say this after It
has been so loudly proclaimed that the
Republican Congress could do nothing
during the short session In regard to
trusts, mainly for the reason that It did
not want to do anything. It Is worth
while to recall that after the hostility of
two extensive concerns, the Standard Oil
Conmany and the American Sugar Refin
ing Company, was made known, the Re
publicans proceeded with greater aiacnty
to pass the laws which are obnoxious ta
two would-be monopolies.

PROSPECT OF A SETTLEMENT
An Attempt Was Made to Prevent

That Was Abandoned.
NEW YORK, March S. It la learned
on 'excellent authority, the Tribune will
say tomorrow, that negotiations are now
under way for the settlement of the fight
between the so-called Keen pool In South
ern Pacific stock and the Harrlman In
terests, who are practically In control of
the Southern Pacific Company through
stock ownership Invested In the treasury
of the Union Pacific Railway. Important
developments In the Southern Pacific
fight tending to remove the cause for cur
rent differences may be looked for In the

formation secured from financiers who
make .the Waldorf their headquarters ar
rangements Will be made by which the
minority holders In Southerh Pacific will
not carry out their proposed plan to over

A few days ago, the Tribune cdntlnues.
the secretary of the Southern Pacific was
served with a legal notice that Injunction
would be applied for on behalf of Talbot
J. Taylor & Co., representing the minori
ty holders In Southern Pacific, preventing
the voting of the Southern Pacific stock
held by the Union Pacific, also demand
ing a list of the stockholders of the South
ern Pacific Company. Within an hour of
this service the notice was withdrawn
without any explanation from the law
firm representing the Southern Pacific
minority holders. Subsequently It was
announced that the order had been with
drawn and It was found that a list of the
stockholders could be obtained after the
closing of the company's books, on March
20. The real cause, however, of this hasty
retreat was. according to reports today,
overtures from the Harrlman Interests
for an amicable settlement of the trouble.
