NEW PARTY BUILT
Watterson Guesses at Aim of
Roosevelt's Latest New
Departure.
THIRD TERM STANDS IN WAY
Great Editor Acclaims Suggestion of
Inheritance Tax at Remedy for
.Plutocracy Now Bryan
Has the Floor.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. April 17.-(Spccial.)
Henry "Watterson Jn the Courier-Journal
tomorrow will deal exhaustively with
that part of President Roosevelt's speech
delivered at the laying of the corner
stone of the annex to the National Capi
tal, wherein the Chief Executive refers
to the necessity of a law looking to. the
collection of a "progressive tax on all
fortunes beyond a certain amount, either
given In life or bequeathed upon death to
any Individual a tax so framed as to put
it out of the power of the owner of one
of these enormous fortunes to .hand on
more than a certain amount to any one
Individual." Mr. Watterson says:
Ax at Root of Tree.
"This Is a. bold deliverance. It pro-'
poses to put the ax at the root of the
tree. Nothing more radical has emanated
from any of the apostles of discontent
whom we sometimes 'dismiss as dreamers,
sometimes as agitators, but in cither case
as far ahead of thetlme. As slavery
was the menace of "the Union In 1858.
money is Its menace now. As slavery
built up an oligarchy In the South, money
Is building up a plutocracy in the United
States. Just as it was true that Govern
ment could not endure half free and
half slave. It is true that, if the Govern
ment docs not destroy the plutocracy, the
plutocracy will destroy the Government.
-Might Build Xcw Party.
"There will not be wanting those who
will accuse the President of a scheme to
wreck both parties and to build a party

fni. , 1 i.i ...... . .1
for this on the proposition disclosed last
Saturday. The Republicans, brought to a
showdown, would probably be split nearly
in halves. The proportion of Democrats
supporting it would be. of course, much
greater, at least three to one. Except in
the person of the President himself, there
happens to be no single figure standing
clearly before tlie country, of signal
ability and great popularity. Can such
thought have been running through the
Roosevelt fancy?
Third-Term Tradition in Way.
"Let us hope not. Because there stands
the third-term tradition, and woe to him
who believes that it is not deeply rooted
in the minds and hearts of the great body
of the people, the very bedrock of demo
cratic and republican government their
safeguard against absolutism. It will not
do for Mr. Roosevelt to tamper with this.
That he Is committed to the tradition
might furnish a reason why he should
not, hut even that fact would be as noth
ing against the uprising of all parties,
the union of all elements, no matter what
the leadership, what the opportunity aud
what the temptation, to rescue the Gov
ernment from one-man power, whether It
tok Its cue from Diaz in Mexico, or
Caesar in Rome.
Mr. Bryan Has the Floor.
"This apart, the President in a lucid
sentence advances the thought of a gen
eration. By a single stroke he puts the
danger before the people and suggests
the remedy.
"But we talk too much. The country
wll want to hear from the gentleman
from Nebraska. Mr. Bryan has the floor."

Some months ago the arbitration group
of the French Parliament, of which Baron

Roosevelt a rare volume of the memoirs
of Sully, the Minister of Henry IV. which
urges a pacific union of the great nations.
Mr. Roosevelt was greatly pleased with
the gift, and expressed the wish that he
had the names of those uniting in the gift
to be inscribed in the volume.
The President's wish for the names has
now been gratified, and the list, which is
about to go forward. Is as remarkable
and unique as the original volume of Sul
ly's memoirs.
It embraces four large pages of parch
ment, opening with a highly ornate text

tures of the foremost men in public af
fairs, literature, art and science, all of
whom are connected directly or indirect

conciliation which Baron d'Estournelles
directs- In Parliament. The inscription Is
as follows:

CHAOS AMONG DIVORCED

Chicago lawyers that the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States hold

parties to the suit resided within the same
Jurisdiction will make Illegal 300 divorces
that have been granted In this city alone,
and pave the way for all manner of com
plications in the next generation over in
heritance and the rights to property.
Several prominent attorneys declared
that the decision simply means chaos in
regard to the title to personal property,
as In cases where a man who was. in the
sight of the decision, illegally divorced
and remarried, his property most, of ne
cessity, go to his legal heirs, and cannot
be held by any children of any woman he
may have married subsequent to his di

CRIME AGAINST THE STATE

Stem Charge by Judge.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.. April 17.-At a Com
mercial Club banquet tonight, referring
to the Springfield Ivnchlnr. Rorrm
sald:
"We have recently had an neetirrrnrp
in our state that has shocked the dvll
lxcd world. Strange to say. there are
men. rooJ men, too. who approve of the
mob's doings last Saturday, when thrvo
negro prisoners were lynched by hanging
tnem to the outstretched arm of tho
slatuc of Liberty holdlnsr aloft the torch
of civilization.
.Lynchers Arc Murderers.
"Whatever may have been the crime of
the wretches. Irrespective of their millt
or innocence. It was murder for the mob
to kill them. They must have deserved
death, but It was death at the hands of
the law and not by a mob. We have a
government by live and not by mobs
Murder and criminal assault arc pun
Ishable by death in this state and a de.
fault of Justice in the case of the latter
crime Is unknown.
Contrast With Peters.
"The action of the Spnnfineld mob was
dastard!)-, cruel. Inhuman and cowardly.
Tliose who would condone the action
the mob speak of the killing of a negro
by young Peters at Springfield last night.
In this case Peters was attacked bv the
negro, and he shot to save his life and the
honor of the lady he was escorting. His
act was courageous and was entirely
blameless In the eyes of the law. Con
sdous of the righteousness of what he
had done, he weut to the authorities and
gave himself up. He was promptly and
properly discharged.
"If the members of tho mob think thev
did a manly act. why do they not bravely
give themselves up and have the law
take its course as to them? Insted of this.
after committing this diabolical crime
against the honor of the state, they slunk
cowardly away into the darkness. Not
one will dare admit publicly his connec
tion with the Infamous proceedings.
Assassination of the State.
But, If they thought they were merely
putting to death three negroes, thov
were mistaken. They aimed at the as
sassination of the State of Missouri and
Insulted the majesty of the law. If such
conduct be tolerated, Jt will lead to an
archy.
"It takes many years to make a civil
ized, lawablding man out of the sav
age. It only takes a few minutes to make
a savage out of a civilized man.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo.. April 17. There
have been no disturbances during the
day. and the crowds that have gathered
on the streets today to discuss the sltua

bers. The soldiers have not appeared on
the streets. They hav remained quietly
In camp, rady to march at a moment's
notice.
The street Intersections near the Jail
will be guarded during the night by the
troops, so that all possible likelihood of
trouble will be minimized. Suqads or
special police will continue to control
all parts of the city, so that any effort
to cause trouble can be stopped before
it has a chance to get any strength.
Peters Found Blameless.
Leslie Peters, the lS-year-old boy who
last night shot and killed Ralph Burns,
a negro. In defense of his own life and
of his sweetheart's honor, was acquitted
by a Coroner's Jury today. The attempt
ed crime has not wrought up any great
feeling among the whites. Many of the
negroes here say they are glad Burns
was killed. He was regarded here as a
bad man. and was accordingly feared
by many or his own race.
Judre A. T. TJnraln nf tho rwmiat
Court. In charging the grand Jury, was
bitter In his statements. After reciting
the causes leading up to the calling to
gether of the Jury, he said:
Charge to Grand Jury.
"This outrage deserves the condemna

BEING TRIED FOR HERESY
EPISCOPAL- RECTOR DENIED DI
VINITY" OF CHRIST.
TJloccsc or Western New York Ac
cuses Dr. Crapsey or Heretical
Teaching In Sermons.
3ATAVIA. N. Y.. April 17. The trial
of the Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, on charges
of heresy was called before the ecclesi
astical court at St- James parish-house
here today. Dr. Crapsey's first move to
secure an adjournment was defeated by
a vote of 4 to 1. but when his counsel
announced that the case would be allowed
to go by default If the court Insisted on
ptoceedlng forthwith, it was decided
after some discussion to postpone the
case until April 25.
Dr. Crapsey. who has been for 23' years
rector of St. Andrew's Church at Roches
ter, is charged with utterances from the
pulpit of that church and In print which
are alleged to be In violation of the tenets
of the Protestant Episcopal faith.
In 1301 and 1305 Dr. Crapsey delivered a
series of sermons, afterward published,
under his authority, under the title Re
ligion and Politics." The presentment
against him contains 13 extracts from this
book, which are the basis for the charge
that he intentionally expressed disbelief
In these doctrines of the church:
"The divinity of Christ: the conception
of the Holy Ghost: the virgin birth; the
bodily resurrection, and the trinity."
A second specification under this flm
charge is that he made utterances of a
like nature as recently as December 31,
1303. with the same Intent to deny the
same doctrines as enunciated In the
Apostles and Nicene creeds.
The second and last charge Is that Dr.
Crapsey violated his ordination vows by
fa IlinC tO Conform to tho n.trlno .ll.nl.
pllne and worship of the Protestant Ep.is-
wmi v.nurcn.
Under the second aroeeinvaMnn nr th
first charge the utterances attributed to
him in his December sermons are these:
First Jesus was born of parents be
longing to the middle class.
Second He was born of a simple father
and mother.
Third He was the son of a carpenter.
Fourth Tho fact that "tho m.iv
Christians predicted a miraculous birth
to unnst was tq De regarded a3 one of
the greatest misfortunes which haw v.
befallen mankind.
The truth or falsltv of tho ohurv
doctrine Is not to be argued at the"
trial. Tho sole Question Is. whether
the thinirs that Dr. Cranov mm aro
contrary lo those doctrines, and did he
so Intend them to be.
It Is understood that Dr. Cranov
defense will hold that, under a liberal
interpretation of the creed, ho nam nrt
contradicted its doctrine.
It he IS XOUnd truiltV Of fntontlnnal
denial of the tenets, there Is but one
punishment dismissal from . the
church.
The complaint against Dr. Cran.wv
Was filed bv 13 minister nf tho Wost-
ern New York Diocese. Bishop Walker
appointed a special committee of five
to Investigate It. The committee re
ported, three to two. against taklnr anv
further action. However, tho aianHlni.

cided to have a trial and drew up the
presentment. The bishop approved It.

REVEALS -HIS TRUE NAME
After Life of Wandering, During
Which He LIvctf Long In Port
land, He Finds Brother's
Widow In Xcw York.
NEW YORK. April 17.-(SpccIaI.)-Far
more remarkable than any talc of fic
tion Is the story told In the will of an
insane man filed In' the Surrogate Court
here today, by which "L. K. G. Smith"
bequeaths an estate worth J1.300.CIOO to
Clara Goldsmith, widow of Louis K. Gold
smith, "because of his great kindness to
me when f was In great need."
Lararus Iv. Goldsmith, brother of Louts
K. Goldsmith, walked out of his father's
house years ago to buy a book. He
never was seen again by his family. No
word was received from him. but a year
ago news was brought to the widow of
Louis K. Goldsmith that a rich and de
mented old man living in a hotel in this
city as Lawrence K. G. Smith was none
other than the Lazarus K. Goldsmith,
who had disappeared 4 years before. A
meeting was' arranged and the man
Identity absolutely established.
Became Hover and Gained Riches.
When he left the house to purchase the
book In which he was interested he be
came possessed of an irresistible im
pulse to enlist. He hurried to a recruit
ing station, and there, giving the name
by which he has since been known, was
sent to the front. He never communi
cated with any of his relatives and never
learned of the fact that through his
father's death he had Inherited ?5O.C0O.
His wanderings had carried him to
Australia, then to South Africa, where
he became Interested In gold and diamond
mining, and eventually he wandered tn
the Pacific Coast, where he became one
or the richest men in the rapidly growing
city of Portland. Or. His wanderings
Carried him latcr-to Paris, and there, two
years ago. he suffered a paralytic stroke,
which left him mentally deranged, but
with lucid periods, during which he
recognized and talked freely with his
brother's widow after his meeting with
her.
Showed Bonds and Stocks.
A short time ago his death occurred in
a sanitarium in West One Hundred and
Fiftieth street In this city. It was known
that he was possessed of great wealth,
for he had exhibited at one time certi
ficates of stocks as well as bonds of the
American Tobacco Company, and the
United States Steel Company worth $750.
C00. He was also known to own 400 acres
of land In Oregon, near Portland, as well
as large blocks of real estate in that
city.
The mystery of his wandering life has
never been solved, however. He talked
at times of the strange countries in the
Orient he had visited, but the full story
of his 10 years of roving to and fro on
the earth died with him. By some strange
homing Instinct, he reached New York
at a time when his Intellect had broken
down and. his death was but a short way
off.
Relative Verifies Story.
Mrs. Clara Goldsmith, the widow of
Louis K. Goldsmith, lives In this city, but
refused to be seen tonight. Her slster-ln-Iaw's
nephew, Morris Samptcr. who Is
one of the committee to administer the

the details of the strange story of the
wandering "L. K. G. Smith.'
