Self-Confessed Wife Murderer
in Jail. Under a Spe

CHOKES WIFE TO DEATH
Comes Home Drunk and Quarrel
Follows Young Woman Was
0001617 Domestic Discord Fre
quent Because of Jealousy.
NFJWARK. O.. May 24. Ernest Ter
wllger, self-confessed wife murderer, is
tonidht lodged In the city prison and a
special guard of police reserves is on duty
to prevent possible violence at the hands
of infuriated citiiena.
Terwllger was arrested this morning;
following the discovery of the body of
his wife who had been strangled to death
!n her room, and this afternoon hs ad
mitted the crime. As soon as the news
of the confession Bpread, people began
to congregate about the city prison,
where he was lodged, and tonight the
crowd became so large that the authori
ties considered It best to take precau
tions to Insure the safety of the prisoner.
Terwllger and . his wife had rooms at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nut
ter. This morning one of the members
of the family went to the room to call
the couple for breakfast." Getting no
response, the door was forced and Mrs.
Terwilger was found lying upon the bed
dead. Her tongue protruded from her
mouth and there were finger marks on
her throat.. Indicating clearly that she
had been choked to death.
Suspicion at once- pointed to the hus
band. He had been heard to leave the
room shortly after midnight, but no tin
usual noises had been heard. Later he
was arrested-
It wa learned that Terwllger had been
frtnklng yesterday and that he went
home In the evening under the Influence
of Intoxicants. His wife asked . him for
money and he declared that he did not
have any to give her, whereupon she is
Mid to have twitted him for his In
ability te provide for her. Terwllger had
been out of work. A quarrel ensued,
and Terwilger, according to his admis
sions, grabbed her by the throat as she
lay on the bed and strargled her to death.
Mrs. Terwllger was 18 years old and
attractive. The couple had been married
a year, but he was Insanely jealous and
they separated as a result of domestic
discord, but had recently become recon
ciled. She was about tp become a
mother.
AFRICAN REPUBLIC PLEADS
Delegation Seeks Aid and Counsel
From Uncle Sam.
WASHINGTON, May !4. Secretary
Root has mide an appointment to re
ceive Tuesday afternoon a delegation
representing the Republic of Liberia.
whlchThas corns from the West Coaat of
Africa to ask counsel and aid in the
many troubles which have continuously
beset the effort to colonize the freed
states of Africa. It Is admitted that
Liberia Is, from the standpoint of na
tions, in a hopeless condition. Her lat
est tribulation is in effect an ultimatum
from England to maintain a better gov
ernment. Although the United States
Is virtually responsible for the exist
ence of Liberia, diplomatic history
shows that this Government has hesi
tated to stand sponsor for the little
republic before the world.
Just what Is to be the outcome of the
present appeal to the United States for
aid Is a question upon which officials
will undertake to throw no light. That
there Is a feeling of sympathy is ap
parent, and that the position of. the
United States with reference to the
weak republic Is one which would seem
to demand & measure of consideration
from us, was a fair conclusion.

IRK PACKAGES IN FULL
RAILROADS PUT ADDITIONAL
BI RDES OX SHIPPERS. '
Initial and Hieroglyphic Markings
Barred on Less Than Car
loads of Freight.
CHICAGO. May 24. (Special.) Be
sides determining to increase freight
rates 10 per cent, the railroads In the
"official classification" territory have
agreed to add considerably to the bur
dens of the shippers of package freight.
At the same meeting at which the rate
increases were decided upon, the rep
resentatives of more than 400 railroads
agreed that after July 1 they will not
receive for shipment any packages in
less than carload lots which are not
marked plainly with the name of the
consignee, the station and state of con
signee, the station, city and state of
destination.
It is estimated that this action will
save the railroads in the territory east
of the Mississippi River and north of
the Ohio River to the seaboard, at
least XZ. 000, 000 annually in loss and
damage claims. On the other hand, it
will cost the shippers of psckage
freight probably as much, or even
more, to perform the actual work re
quired In marking the shipments as
prescribed by the railroads. It is also
stated by the shippers that it will
make impossible any secrecy regarding
the Identity of the customers of any
business house.
On the contrary, any business bouse
may. after the new rules go Into effect,
station men at railroad warehouses and
learn in detail all about the shipments
of competitors, to whom shipped and in
what amounts. That this will have a
tremendous effect upon this class of
business is confidently asserted.
It has been the custom of the ship
pers to mark their packages with an
initial or some hieroglyphic, the key
to which is to be found on the bill of
lading. It was the theory that this
would save the time and labor of the
shipper and throw a certain amount
of secrecy around the conduct of his
business.
The railroads claim, however, that
this has led to great abuses and to an
indiscriminate mixing of packages at
transfer points. Owing to the fact that
there was no means of identification,
great confusion resulted, and also de
lay, which in turn resulted In In
creased claims for loss of freight. It
Is stated by the Pennsylvania's repre
sentatives, for example, that on the
lines east of Pittsburg last year that
company paid out a total of $36!, 520 on
claims for goods lost in transit, which
was an increase of S4 per cent over the
amount of the previous year.
IS SUSPECTED BY MAJORITY
Results of "Second Elective Term"
Booming and the Persistent
Villifying of Secre
tary Taft.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, D. C, May 24. Hon. Jona
than Bourne. Jr., Senator from Oregon,
but better known as the originator and
chief promoter of the "second-elective-term"
crusade, accomplished more than
he intended when he undertook to re
nominate and re-elect President Roose
velt. He failed in the accomplishment of
his purpose, but In the conduct of his
campaign, Senator Bourne wore out his
welcome at the Whit House: invited
and incurred the bitter enmity of Sec
retary Taft, aroused the suspicions of
his Republican colleagues in the Sen
ate, and was than turned down by his
party in Oregon.
With Taft in the White House and
resting under the suspicion of the ma
jority in the Senate. Senator Bourne
does not face a particularly bright fu
ture in hia legislative career.
When Senator Bourne entered upon
his "second-elective-term" campaign,
he was confident of 'winning out. in
the promotion of that campaign.
Bourne spent unknown quantities of
money, wrote thousands of letters, gave
out innumerable interviews, and ex
hausted every means at his command
to check the tide toward Taft.
Had the "second-elective-term"
movement been a success. Mr. Bourne's
efforts might have availed him some
thing; the President could not well ig
nore him, but the course pursued by the
Oregon Senator was particularly un
fortunate for him, as things turned out.
For a time. Senator Bourne had hopes
that President Roosevelt would remain
silent, and let the people have their
way. But no sooner had the "second-elective-term"
movement gained head
way than the President came out with
a statement that removed all doubt as
to his purpose. This did not deter Sen
ator Bourne: it staggered him for a few
days, but the blow had no lasting ef
fect. Soon he was as active as ever,
and apparently on as good terms with
the President.
But the President did not relish Mr.
Bourne's clamoring!, and he said as
much on many occasions. Neither did
the President appreciate the Senator's
repeated slaps at Secretary Taft, and
his reiterated declaration that Bryan, if
nominated by the Democrats, could de
feat Taft In the November election.
Notwithstanding this change of heart
In Mr. Roosevelt, Senator Bourne con
tinued his calls at the White House,
though In the past few weeks he has
been there not at all. Just before Sen
ator Bourne's visits ceased a Western
Senator went into the President's office
as Bourne was leaving. .The President
looked after Bourne till the' door had
closed, then he turned to his new caller,
saying: "Senator, do you know that
after Bourne, Beverldge is a real relief."
.The significance of this statement is
understood when it is known that Sen
ator Beverldge is one of the most tire
some men in Congress.
In the United States Senate Mr.
Bourne's "second elective term" cam
paign has always been regarded as a
joke. Not a Senator In the body agreed
with Bourne; not a Senator Indorsed
his propaganda. On the contrary. It was
regarded by many as a lavish use of
money for the puropse of exploiting not
Roosevelt, but Bourne.
The Senate's estimate of Bourne was
not improved by the course he pursued
In the late Oregon campaign, for the
Senate Is satisfied that the junior Sen
ator was in no small degree responsible
for the defeat Qf the senior Oregon Sen
ator, and that defeat was anything but
pleasant news to the older members of
that body. Bourne's campaign for
"Statement No. 1" satisfied the Senate
that he Is not a party man. and if his
activities should result in the election of
a Democratic Senator from an over
whelming Republican state, he need never
expect to be forgiven by the majority
in the Senate. In their eyes such a thing
is unpardonable, and if, as is possible,
Mr. Bourne has a Democratic colleague
In the next Congress. Mr. Bourne will
find himself out in the cold. There are
times when a Senator need not be a party
man. but on party issues, and when the
party's Interests are at stake he must
fall In line. There never was a Senator
bigger than his party and Mr. Bourne
Is not looked upon as an exception to
the rule.
Senator Bourne has nearly five years
longer to serve in Congress. If Taft
Is elected President, and Governor
Chamberlain (Democrat) is elected
United States Senator from Oregon to
succeed, Mr. Fulton, the chief engineer
of the defunct "second elective term"
campaign will find very hard sledding
in Washington, for a member of the
majority party who is an outcast
among his colleagues, and who Is
much the same thing at the White
House, has no Influence worth men
tioning. Not once during the past week has
Senator Bourne been In the Senate or
attended meetings of his committee in
the closing days of the session, when
practically all items of local legisla
tion are agreed upon.
Senator Bourne has devoted most of
his time to the preparation and circu
lation of newspaper copy, villifying
and belittling Secretary Taft and en
deavoring to inject life into the de
funct third-term boom.
The result has been that Senator
Fulton has had the entire responsi
bility for looking after Oregon appro
priations in the Senate, and he and
Representatives Hawley and Ellis have
worked without Senator Bourne's aid
before conference committees that
framed up all 'appropriation bills.
Senator Bourne was not on hand
when tho committee on postofftces, of
which he is a member, was trying to
force Congress to accept the ship sub
sidy amendment to the postal appro
priation bill.

Gunboat Paducah to Transfer
Thomas P. Moffatt to Guantana
mo Merchants' Club Has
Done Good Work in Relief.
CARACAS, May 23.-President Castro
has issued a decree that, In view of the
fact that no new cases of the bubonic
plague have appeared during the past
eight days at La Guayra, the port will
be opened to United States and Euro
pean trade beginning May 26, and to
coastwise and interior trade on May 29.
The American gunboat Paducah arrived
at Puerto Cabello on May 21, the com
mander of the vessel immediately advis
ing Thomas P. Moffatt, the American
Consul at La Guayra, who has been
practically cut off from communication
with the outer world for some weeks past
en account of the plague, that he would
go to La Guayra- on May 23 In order, to
transfer him to Guantanamo, Cuba.
The Paducah Is expected to arrive at
Guantanamo. May 26.
Conditions are improving at La Guayra
owing to the splendid efforts of the Mer
chants' Club, which succeeded in raising
considerable money and securing a large
quantity of supplies to aid the destitute
and fight the disease. -
But notwithstanding the efforts of this
committee there are at least 1500 des
titute persons in that place depending
absolutely on charity. At the present
time the funds are practically exhausted
but with the reopening of the port it Is
expected that the Improvement in condi
tions will be Immediate.
CUTS OFF ISLAND OF TRINIDAD
Castro Will Allow Xo Communica

PORT OF SPAIN. Trinldadf May 24.
President Castro has prohibited vessels
at ports in the Gulf of Parla, Venezuela,
from toeing dispatched to the Island of
Trinidad. He also has instructed the Ven
ezuelan consul in Trinidad to refuse to
clear vessels at Trinidad for these ports.
It is understood here that there is much
suffering at ports on the Gulf of Parla,
and that provisions at these places are
held at famine prices. Shops are closed
for want of stock and President Castro's
decree shuts out the usual market, Trini
dad, for cocoa and other products.
President Castro has prohibited the
transshipment at Trinidad of merchan
dise for Ciudad Bolivar and as a conse
quence 1000 tons, principally of food stuffs
for Ciudad Bolivar, from New York to
Europe, are lying in the warehouses here
rotting.
On this account Bolivar and all of the
districts are suffering severely. Great In
dignation has been expressed here against
President Castro because of what is
termed his arbitrary action.

ACAIN PfiOBE OIL TRUST
INQUIRY TO BE RESUMED IN
NEW YORK TODAY.
Frank B. Kellogg, for the Govern
ment, Matched Against the Cun
ning of No. 2 6 Broadway.
ST. PAUL, Minn., May 24. (Special.)
The Inquiry into the affairs of the Stand
ard Oil Corporation will be resumed in
New York tomorrow. The venue for the
inquiry was to have been Chicago, but
the Standard Oil people succeeded in get
ting the venue of the Inquiry changed.
The Inquiry was adjourned from Cleve
land last year. At that time Frank B.
Kellogg, of St. Paul, who represents the
Government, had taken sufficient evi
dence to make out a prima facie case,
and the inquiry then rested. The object
of the Inquiry was to show that the
Standard Oil .Corporation was an illegal
corporation under the Sherman anti-trust
law, and was a monopoly, and was
merely a continuation of the Standard
Oil Trust legally dissolved by tho courts
of Ohio in 1892.
The case Is almost certain to he taken
to the Supreme Court. It is expected
that Frank B. Kellogg and his assistants
will carry the ease to a successful con
clusion, and Anally ask for an order dis
solving the Standard Oil Corporation of
New Jersey, and an injunction restrain
ing the principal defendants from sver
entering into an agreement, directly .or
indirectly, to form a combination to con
trol the oil business of the world In the
future.
