VIOLENCE NOT ADVOCATED
Sllveritein Will Recover and Be
Tried for Killing Hildebraiid,
Who Was Innocent Bystander.
Trouble-Makers Warned.
NKW YORK, March 30-Kfforts of tho
Iiolice to connect Sells Sllverstein, the
lni"n Square bomb-tliroer, with the
proups of anarchists have been successful,
but thus far thi-y hav been unable to
prove the action f Sunday was prompted
in anv way by the associates. The de
velopments occurred today after the ar
rest of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
leader and companion of Kmma Goldman,
who served 12 vears in prison for shooting
Henry C. Frlck, the Pittsburg capitalist.
The detectives showed, when Berkman
was arraigned in court, that Silverstein
licld a membership in the Anarchist Fed
eration Union, of which lierkman is an
officer, and this card was signed by Berk
man. but their attempt to show that
Berkman knew Silverstein or that he and
his frienciM in anv direct way incited the
bomb throwing was for the time futile,
The police asked Magistrate Droege, be
fore whom Berkman was arraigned, to
hold the anarchist for 48 hours as a sus
picious person, but in the absence of any
d flntto charge the magistrate refused
their request. The magistrate paroled
Berkman on his own recognizance, the
Intter promising- to appear whenever
wanted.
Berkman Penies Violence.
P.srkman was takep Into custody on the,
strength" of the card and a couple of cir
cular letters found in Sllversteiu's apart
ments, all of which bore Berkmau'a sig
nature. The letters were written in He
brew and were requests for contribution
for the defense of the two anarchists re
cently arrested in Philadelphia charged
.with rioting. The letters contained no
statement of an Incendiary character.
Berkman was arrested in the office of
Mother Mirth, an anarchist newspaper.
' This man admits that ho shot Henry
'. Krlek' and served 12 years for it."
said the inspector, facing the anarchist.
"The shooting- of Krick was a par
f iual matter," replied Berkman. "The
trud anarchist does not believe, in vio
lence; he believe in working by peace
ful means."
"Have you any pamphlets or books
on the subject?" asked the inspector.
"Yea, but none of them counsel vio
lence. 1 do not believe in that."
Never Met Silverstein.
After admittliiK lie signed the card
feund in Sllverstein's possession, Berk
man wan taken to the hospital to con
front Sllvrsteln, but there was nothing;
in tne meeting to indicate that the two
ever im-.t.
In court, before Magistrate Droege
I.i.ole.l him. Berkman made a brief
r.tan iu"iit, saying:
I am lite secretary of th union and my
Dane: was used in the totters that were
cut cut. The letters were ontj a plea for
Hid We are always soliciting money. We
i:eed money fer tho families of the men
-hu were kilkrt In Philadelphia and for
the men who are to be tried here. 1 re
mained at my houe so the police could
arrest me, for 1 wanted to have this thing
ilcared up at onoe and have a chance to
prove my inno-eence.
x Silverstein Will Recover.
Sella. Silverstein, the bomb thrower,
though said to be a suffeVer from or
ganic disease of the lieart, is likely to
survive the terrible Injuries he suf
fered in the explosion. The physicians
in attendance announced today that a
piece of the bomb he threw had been
extracted from near his right ear
tavlty. It passed through his right
eye and lodged in his skull directly
back of the ear. Curiously enough.
If wus a policeman, one of the men
.Silverstein sought to kill, who is re
sponsible for the fact that Silverstein
is still alive. This man, after the ex
plosion, applied a tourniquet to the
ttiinip of silvcrsteln's mangled arm
and thus prevented his bleeding; to
death. If Silverstein recovers lie will
be. placed on trial for the murder In
the first degree in killing Ignatz
llildebtand. who, it appears, was an in
nocent bystander attracted to Union
S.iuare only by curiosity.
Tile police today arrested Michael Du
mas, said to be a former Patersou, N. J.,
silkweaver, for pasting Socialistic propa
ganda on letter-boxes. In court he denied
that be was an anarcbist nd said he
wan opposed to violence in every form.
He was held, nevertheless, tn $500 for fur
ther examination.
Bingham's Iron Hand Ready.
Police Commissioner Bingham said to
day that he wanted it understood that it
is his intention to deal with an iron hand
with all cases of riot or disorder, but that
he will not interfere with any meeting
so long as the participants keep within
the law.
"1 have received no complaints of bru
tality on the part of the police," he said.
"The police were not brutal. They did
mighty well."
When told i of Robert Hunter's chargn
that the police had used him in a brutal
manner, ho answered:
"Mr. Robert Hunter wants to behave
himself, and if he does not behave him
self he will be sorry for it. I will stand
for no lncltations xo riot or disorder, and
will suppress them with an iron hand.
When I hear of all this trouble caused
by a lot of windbags. I want them to
know that I will not stand for It."
legal mistake was made in his electro
cution." The electrocution was the most success
ful that ever took place tn this prison.
A current of volts at amperes
was held on one minute and three seconds
and at 6:1& in examination ofGiIIette's
lieart showed him to be dead.
Rev. Henry Mcllravy. of Little Flails,
who had been with Gillette, was so over
come at the electrocution that he was
taken from the death chamber before the
contact was turned off. Fearful that he
would collapse, he started" for the door,
leading to the prison yard. Keepers
walked beside him.
The communication handed to Warden
Benham last night by Gillette was as
follows:
In the shadow of the valley of death, it !
my desire to do everything that would re
move any .doubt as to my having; found Jesus
Chris, the personal Isavlor and unfailing
friend. My one regret at this time is that I
have not given hUn the pre-eminence In my
life, while 1 had tbe opportunity to work for
him. If I could only say some one thing that
would draw young men to him, I would deem
It the greatest privilege ever granted me. But
alt I can cay now Is I know in whom I have
believed and am persuaded that he is able
to keep that which I have committed unto
him against that day.
If the- young men of this country could only
know the Joy and pleasure of a Christian life,
I know they would do all tn their power to
become earnest, active Christians and would
strive to live as Christ would have them live.
There la not one thing I have left undone
which will bar me from facing my God,
knowing that my sins are forgiven, for I
have been free ajid frank In my taiks with
my spiritual advisers, and Cod knows where
I stand.
My tapk Is done, the victory won. -
CHESTER K. 01IJETTB.
Mrs. Gillette, mother of Chester, made
a statement today, in part as' follows:
Though it is a very hard thing for me to
feel Cheater was responsible for Grace
Brown's death, yet H w&e the wish ex
pressed to him continually by me tbat, if be
was guilty, he should say so before tha
world, and In his triumphant death I feel
that God has answered my dearest wish and
fprajer.
I feel that he should have had another
trial, where he could have had an opportunity
before an unprejudiced court and Jury and
where fair statements ceuld have been made
and considered, but my boy was ready to go
and I have nothing to say againat Governor
Hughes' decision. I think he did what he
thlnka Is just, but he has shown no mercy.
God has not failed us and he never will
those who trust him. 1 trust that there will
be a strong protest against capital punish
ment in thia, that a young life recently given
to God has been cut orby the law when It
might have been spared to be useful to the
world in one of -the darkest places of that
world a penitentiary.

NEW YORK, March 30. A number of
important commercial organizations
throughout the country have pommunl
eated with the Merchants' Association of
New York approving the action of that
organization in the stand it has taken in
opposing tho passage of tlie Aldrich cur
rency bill, according to a statement given
out by the Merchants' Association today.
Among the organizations which have
declared in favor "of .the Fowler bill,
which is in direct antagonism to the Al
drich bill, is the Chamber of Commerce
of Spokane, Wash. The statement says
that letters received from merchants
and manufacturers indicate that strong
pressure is being brought to bear on the
members of Congress, especially upon
Speaker Cannon, to have the Aldrich bill
defeated or radically amended.

GILLETTE IS EXECUTED
Statement of Preachers Indicates
That He Confessed to Them.
AUBURN, N. T.. March 30. Chester
E. Gillette today paid the full penalty
for the brutal murder of Grace Brown.
He went to his death In the electric
hair at Auburn prison without a sign
of weakness and w-ith the same lack of
emotion which has characterized htm
from the day he was arrested charged
with the crime. Gillette appeared to
liav been fully reconciled to his fate,
and in a statement given out by his
spiritual advisers Immediately after
the execution It Is Indicated that he
had made a confession of his guilt.
Thrs statement w-as signed by the Rev.
Henry Mellvray. of Little Falls, and
the Rev. Cordello Herrick. the prison
chaplain, who had attended Gillette
since he has been In the death cell at

STRIVES TO UNITE FAMILY
Resident of Cliffs, Wash., Hears of
Mother Lost 30 Years Ago.
CUFFS, Wash., March 30. Special.) A
long-lost son hopes to meet his mother,
who has been looking for him for 30
years. Henry Daniels and wife came to
Cliffs about three months ago, bought
property and built them a comfortable
home. He is a quiet, intelligent, hard
working, honorable gentleman, anxious to
learn of the whereabouts of the remainder
of the family,-from whom ha has been
separated for years. Only within the past
few weeks has he succeeded in getting
hold of the right clew, through, which to
establish his identity.
This information comes from the super
intendent of the Hudson County alms
house, of Snake Hill, N. J., which says
that their records show that on October
17, 1S7S, John B. Hewitt, poormaster at
Jersey City, committed a family of Dan
iels to the almshouse the mother, Ma
ria, aged 25 years; Ira, aged 9; James,
aged 6: Eugene, aged 3, and an Infant,
Frank, aged three months. The father's
name appears to be Ezra, but nothing
definite, is known of him.
Latter on the family was committed to
the Hudson County almshouse, of Snake
Hill, N. J., and finally to St. Mary's.
There they became separated and lost to
each other umil In 18S7 Ira, nicknamed
Henry, and , Harry and Eugene, nick
named Joe, happened to meet in South
Orange, X. J., and for a time worked to
gether taking rare of cows for the Seton
Hall College, but neither one knew what
became of their mother. The boys sepa
rated there, and later on Henry drifted
out West.
The latest information, just received,
shows that the mother is still alive, and
was in Snake Hill only recently looking
for her long-lost boys. It appears that
she has worked and worried eo long, try
ing to locate them, that her reasontng
has become somewhat impaired. Ira, or
better known as Henry, hopes to arrange
to go to New Jersey soon and endeavor to
locate his mother. In the meantime, if
this article is read by any one who can
throw any light on the subject. Mr. Dan
iels will appreciate receiving the Information.

SESSION WITH OUTLAW
Little Ote, After Turning Down San
Jose Offer, Finds He Is Richer
by $87 Team Glad to Go to
Bay City to See the Fights'.
BY WILL. G. MAC RAE.
SALINAS, Cal., March 30. (Special.)
Manager McCredle and his training
squad are oft for San Francisco. -They
are going to romp over the Seals' gar
den, if the weather will permtt, until
the opening game of the season, on
Saturday afternoon, playing two games
in the meantime with St. Mary's Col
lege. McCredle has figured that It would
he good business to have his team get
familiar with the San Francisco
grounds, especially his pitchers, . for
there is a strong cross-wind blowing
over the diamond, that is -a puzzler to
tha box artists until they get used to
It.
Another reason for taking the team
to San Francisco Is the hard training
Is about over. The team, with the ex
ception of Tom Madden, the catcher. Is
in fine fettle. Madden had the stitches
taken out of Ills Injured hand, and
while It may not be In shape to play
in the Seal series, he will be In the
game against Los Angeles, anyhow.
The move to the Bay City will also
give the members of the team a chance
to see the battle between Battling Nel
son and Abe AttelL and also that be
tween Jimmy Britt and Packy McFar
land, which will please all of the play
ers. That little sketch between Ote John
son and Amy Mayer, the San Jose mo
gul of the outlaw league, has furnished
the boys with lots of fun. Johnson
would have jumped all right but for"
the straight talk that little Billy
Bloomfleld gave him In front of the
hotel. Bloomfleld is "as same as a
pebble, and he told Johnson, right to
Mayer's teeth, that the latter was a
crook, and had cheated every player
that ever played for him. Bloomfleld
followed Mayer, Elmer Stricklett and
Johnson to the depot, with practically
the entire team bringing up the rear.
The little California 'twirler walked
alongside of Mayer clear to the depot,
calling him all the names on the cal
endar, and he wasn't there with a
come-back. Finally Johnson, who by
this time began to see that Bloomfleld
had the goods on the. San Jose preten
der, turned to Mayer and said:
"Come through with a certified check
for my two years' salary and I'll go."
Mayor said something that made
Johnson mad, and he would have taken
a punch at him, but Kennedy and a few
others stopped him.
The best part of It is that Johnson
got $67 of Mayer's money.
The next day Cooney got hold of a
blank warrant, filled 'It but and had
Deputy Sheriff Bert Davis serve It.
Johnson thought it was all on- the
square. He was game, however, and
refused to disgorge any of tha outlaw
money. That night Johnson- was arrested-
and taken before a Justice of
the- Peace, who was in on the joke, and
a mock trial was held. I appeared as
Johnson's attorney, and phe fun we had
will give the gang something to talk
about all Summer.
Not satisfied with the turndown that
Raftery and Johnson gave the San
Jose people, they tried to land Ed
Kennedy. Friday morning they called
the big fellow up- by telephone and of
fered him $150 a month and a job that
would pay him another $100. Ken
nedy told them that he would come for
$300 a month, a three-year contract,
the money to bo placed in the bank.
The man at. the other end of the tele
phone must have fallen dead, for Ken
nedy failed to get an answer after he
had stated his terms. The man they
wanted worst of all was Raftery, but
Tom listened and when they made him
aiibffer he laughed in their faces.
Raftery is too wise to be caught in a

sneak game like this. He knows, and
so does everybody else that has
watched him, that he Is on his way to
the Uig brushes, and he is not going
to kill off his chances by jumping to
any weak-kneed outlaw organization.
Johnson Is also of big-league timber,
and now that he has come to his senses
and has seen how near he came to
scrambling the eggs, woe betide the
outlaw manager that approaches him,
for he will surely get & trouncing.
When McCredle wsas tipped off that
Johnson was going to take the hurdles.
Manager Mac smiled and said nothing.
He did not even ask anyone to talk
with Ote. Instead, he got ready to
wire for a third baseman on whom he
has a string. The only thing he said
was:
"I hate to lose Johnson, because his
place will be hard to fill; but it he
wants to take the chanoe of Joining
Benny Henderson and the rest of the
Down-and-Out Club, It's up to him. It
will cripple us In the opening game,
but we have the money to buy a cork
ing good man, and as sure as Johnson
goes, I'll wire for him."
The calm way the Portland manager
took the thing made not only the old
members of the team sit up and take
notice, but all of the youngsters. It
was simply his way of impressing on
tha minds of his crew that there wasn't
any one of them, or all of them, that
he could not get along without. The
lesson will undoubtedly have a good
effect.
Just as soon as the picture-taking
man can get the pictures out, the fans
wlll get a chance to see a group of the
20 men McCredle has In training. They
were taken Friday afternoon. Just be
fore they started for afternoon prac
tice. . '

It is seldom that the small buj-er has an opportunity
to buy railroad bonds on small payments. This is one
of the few. The principal difference between buying
railroad bonds and railroad stock is that you have all
the assets of the corporation behind the promise to pay
5 per cent per annum on the bonds, while the dividends
from stock are-uncertain. It is the difference between
a long chance and a first-mortgage lien. That's some
difference, isn't it? In other wTords, you get your
money back when you buy good bonds, while stock, no
matter how good the company may be, promises you
notliing. Buying bonds is loaning money on good
security, at a good rate of interest. The company takes
all the chances you none.

The bonds of the OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COM
PANY are secured by assets valued at over $4,500,000.
These assets consist of over $2,000,000 in terminal
property in the hearts of San Francisco and Santa
Cruz; 80 miles of the best right of way in the United'
States; 34 miles of completed railroad, now in opera
tion and already paying dividends; rolling equipment

Besides all this, your investment will be in the bonds
of a company that has the opportunity of becoming one
of the wealthiest' short-line railway companies in the
United States. This is due to the wonderfully rich
country through which the line passes. It has never
been tapped by a transportation line. The bonds are
$100, par value. You may purchase one or more at $92
cash or $96, parable $16 down for each bond and $10
