THE SUNDAY 6rEG,0NIASt, POUTLiUSD, MAY 3r 1903. RIEST IN PRISON Accused oF the Murder of His Host's Sister. WAS TRAILED BY BLOODHOUNDS Father Relchlin Returns to Fin Bis Beaatifnl Sister Dead and Suspi cion Pointing to His Gnest Tewa la Iadlsmatlea, ELRYIA, O., May 2. Rev. Ferdinand "Walser, assistant pastor. of the Church of the Sacred Heart of Toledo, lies In the County Jail here tonight, charged with the murder of Miss Agatha "Relchlin, sis ter of Rev. Charles Relchlin, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church at Lo rain. O. It Is charged by the authorities that Father Walser, who was a guest at the home of the latter, entered the young woman's room at the parsonage Thurs day night, during the absence of Kev. Charles Relchlin, and crushed her head wltlj a big paving stone. Bloodhounds were taken to the scene of the crime, early today and given the scent of the murderer, and they persistently led the officers to the room occupied by Father Walser at the Relchlin home on the night of the murder. Later the dogs ptruck another scent and went directly to St Joseph's Hospital, where Father Walser .spent last night. The priest was taken Into custody at the hospital and brought to the County Jail in this city. The officers admit thaf the evidence against the priest is purely circumstan tial, but it is said the chain Is unusually strong. While the feeling was very strong against the priest at Lorain today and a big crowd gathered when the officers boarded an electric car with their pris oner on their way to the County Jail here, there was no demonstration against the prisoner. Father Walser, when seen by a re porter in his cell tonight and asked for a statement, said: "All I have to say Is that I am not guilty of any crime. I am Innocent, and say that with a clear conscience." Protests His Innocence. "I am entirely blameless of any crime. This is an outrageous proceeding and a disgrace. It is a disgrace to the city and to the county. I am as innocent of the crime as a babe in its cradle. First, they had me tell my story, and I told it over and over again to them. Why did they not arrest Casimlr Relchlin, who was also In the house? If I had been guilty of such a crime, I would have flown from this place and gone to some place of hiding. If a man is guilty of sucn a crime, it can be seen in the eye and face. Conscience tells Its story on the face. My conscience Is perfectly clear, and the end of this will jshov that I am entirely innocent. All will come out right in the end. "There is a feeling against me, I believe, because I am a priest. There is always such a feeling. This is awful to be placed in a place of this kind (and he looked about his little cell with an eye glistening with moisture). "The C. P. P.'s; with headquarters at Carthagena, of which I am a member," continued the priest, "will go my bond for $50,000, if necessary. Arrested, and Acquitted Before. "Yes, I have been arrested before It was in Clinton, Mo., during the A. P. A. war. Another priest and I had adopted a boy, and the A. P. A. had us arrested on the charge of cruelty and kidnaping the boy. We were discharged, and the com plainants were severely, lectured, and had to pay the costs. This case will turn out the same way." "It Is stated that on the night of the murder Casimlr Relchlin went out and got a jug of liquor at 1 o'clock in the morning. Is that true?" the prisoner was asked. "No, that is not true. I will say that I sent him out myjelf. but it was between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning and after the crime had been discovered. When men are nervous, as such an event must make any man, a stimulant is needed. I do not deny that I sent him for it." Girl's Brother Thinks Him Innocent. Rev. C Elchlin. brother of the dead girl, expresses himself as being very much Incensed at the advancement of the thought that Rev. Father Walser was un der suspicion as the murderer of his sis ter. He tries to create the Impression that the dogs were not worked according to their own instincts. Casimlr" Relchlin, the brother, who was in the house when the murder was com mitted, said he would swear that Father "Walser was as Innocent as himself. Both "brothers are apparently of the conviction that there 1b not a single bit o evidence that would show that the guilt was on Father Walser. Mayor King, o,f Lorain, expressed him self as feeling Impelled to 'take the step he did in causing the arrest of Father Walser, partly because of the Intense feel ing against the priest after the dogs had followed their scent to him. The Precious Blood Fathers have en gaged F. G. Johnson, an eminent crim inal lawyer, as counsel for Walser. Another Snspeet Arrested. A man arrested here last night for carrjv 4ng concealed weapons Is rsqpr held on sus picion. His shoes were covered with blotches that a physician pronounced bloodstains. ALL SUFFER ALIKE. Many Buildingrs Under Construction Sot for Capitalists. PORTLAND, April 27. (To the Editor.) The question of labor and capital, about which so much is said and written at the present time, requires much thought be fore one ehould make up his mind as to what is the proper thing to do. There are many sides to this question, but few seem to be able to see moro than one or two of them. The unions' cry here is: "The capitalists are trying to break up our unions." The builders, not capitalists, say: "We want the privilege of hiring whom we choose, be he union or nonunion." With an offer from both sides to arbitrate the wage question. It seems to an outsider that the other questions cduld be allowed to adjust themselves. Attempts of ttte unions to say that an employer must hire union men or no one. put them in the position of dictators, and such a demand. If acceded to, would maka a labor trust larger and more dangfrous than any other trust on the face of the earth. It seems to 'the writer that the unions are unwise In making this exac tion. There is an old saying: "You can catch more flits with molasses than with vtngar." In the present strike here, who are the capitalists that they, the unions, are fish ting? For they all say it Is capital against labor. Most of the buildings now going on here consist of dwellings being built by individuals for their own use. or for sale to men who work on salary or by the day. Are they capitalists? Are our builders capitalists? It's safe to say, no. Few buildings are being constructed purely for rent. Then, where are the capi talists who are bemg fought? Isn't it mostly cheap talk. It Is asserted that carpenters get a min imum of per day of eight hours in Seat tle. Perhaps the cost of llvlifg. including -renin. Is higher there than here. Certainly, rents are higher. In the boom towns in Alaska, the minimum is probably three tJraes higher than'in Seattle. What makes this difference? Demand for labor, cost of living, and a. flush money market "When the demand for an article exceeds the sup ply, prices go up. So with labor. You cannot judge one locality by another. A man may be worth $4 per day In Seattle, and not more than $3 here, or at times, vice versa. Men are willing to pay large wages, when situated so that the labor Is worth to them the larger pay. People pay liberally when they can see a pros pect for large gain. Few buildings put up for rent pay largely. The most of them show very moderate returns to the In vestor, above expenses and depreciation. It's hard to find men who will look at these matters fairly, from all sides. The correct way Is to try and put yourself in the other fellow's place, and think what you would do under the same circum stances. Some cry "arbitrate," and cite, as an ex ample, the arbitration of the anthracite coal miners' strike. But there are some things you cannot arbitrate. For instance, you cannot arbitrate adman's liberty, nor his right to employ and discharge whom he pleases jnlon or nonunion. The arbi trators in the coal miners' strike, did not KING EDWARD'S NIECE MAY WED GERMAN PRINCE. bsssssshb$'':':3ssV m. ;H HHHsssflsBBBsl PRIJTCESS BIARGARET OF COX3TATJGHT. BERLIN, May 2. The Morgen Post today declares on the best au thority, that an engagement will shortly be arranged between the Crown Prince Frederick William and Princess Margaret, eldest daughter of the Duke of Connaught. and niece of King Edward. The paper also announces that Prince Frederick Henry, heir to the Prince Regent of Brunswick, will shortly become engaged to Princess Alice, another niece of King Edward, and eldest daughter, of the late Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany. The choice of an EngllBh Princess for the Crown Prince, the Post asserts, will be most unpopular, and Margaret will have to face the same -enmity which the late Dowager Empress Frederick had to en counter. Princess Margaret was born January 15. 1SS2, while Princess Alice was born a year later, February 25, 1S83. The Princess-Alice is .an orphan. settle this question in .favor of the union. The nonunion men were given the same rights as the union men, and must not now be molested In their right to work. In the opinion of the writer, the greatest stumWlng block that the unions have put up, and which they claim is right. Is the fact that they want to have the whole say. "You must hire union men, or none." They must say what the wages shall be in fact must practically run the other fel low's business, as well as their own. All cannot think alike, but every man has an equal right to think and do as he pleases, provided he does not injure others. The writer was much interested In the Jetter of F. B. Baum in your Issue of April 23, and thinks every one who will read it carefully, without prejudice, must agree with him on most, if not all of the points taken up and discussed. Unionism Is no doubt a very excellent thing. If properly managed, but when run by hot-headed men, who will not reason, there will always be trouble. If wise lead ers were chosen, and not so many of them, there would be less trouble and things would move along more smoothly. One of the strongest unions In the land is the Typographical Union. You scarcely ever hear of it being Involved In a strike, in fact one would hardly know there was such a union. Why? The printers, as a class, are readers and thinkers. They choose able leaders and are governed wisely na overgoverned as are many other unions at the present time. Too much government Is worse than none. It Is always safe to think twice before acting, when matters of great moment are at stake. "Foresight Is better than hindsight." X. Y. Z. GOADED TO MURDER. Xefjro Walter Takes Blood RerenRe on !few York Policeman. NEW YORK, May 2. Policeman B. J. Peters was shot and killed tonight In a mloon known as the Black and Tan at Sixth avenue and Third street, by Jef ferson Sanders, a negro ex-convict. Sanders also shot Sergeant Thomas Gll hocley, who will die. and Policeman Joseph Russo, who will recover. The policemen, according to many wit nesses, spent the greater part of the night In the saloon In which Sanders Is employed as a waiter. According to wit nesses, the three policemen teased the negro until a fight started, when they seized him and pounded him on the head with the butt ends of their pistols. San ders broho away, and drawing a pistol, fired and killed Peters. Another policeman ran in from the street and attempted to arrest the negro when he opened fire again, hitting Gllhooley and Russo, both of whom ran to the door and sank to the sidewalk. When his pistol was empty Sanders was clubbed Into submission by other policemen who arrived on the scene. All the witnesses whom the police suc ceeded In finding agreed that the three officers began the trouble and the first blow was struck by the policemen. The surgeon at the hospital where the wounded policemen were taken eald he found no trace of liquor on either. Fatal Collision on Railroad. SOUTH NORWALK. Conn.. May 2.

Gentlemen 3ome two years ago 1 was so run down that .1 lacked strength, had no appetite, and could not sleep nights. Sometimes It seemed as though my back wou Id break In two after stooping. I had to get up many times during the night to urinate, and go often through the day. After having the best physicians prescribe for me without relief, I decided from my symptoms that the medicine I needed was Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. After trying a sample bottle with good" results, I purchased six bottles of the regular size, and after taking them was entirely cured. Swamp-Root is a wonderful remedy when a man is not feeling well, after ex posure or loss of sleep and Irregular meals. It Is also a great medicine to tone up a man's system. Other members of the police force are using and recommending Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of this great remedy.

A ROOSEVELT DEMOCRAT He Lives in ICentuclcj- and There Arc Many Like Him. Louisville Post. Judge Sims, of Bowling Green, one of the ablest lawyers in the state, one of the most consistent supporters of what was once known as the principles of Jefferson Ian Democracy, who refused to be arrayed against the financial integrity of the coun try in 1S35, and declined to stand with one faction of the Democratic party in the state for the overthrow of the ballot box announces that he is a Democrat still, but a "Roosevelt Democrat." Between the Cleveland Democrats of 1S92 and 1896 and the Roosevelt Demo crats of 1S03 there Is very little difference. President Roosevelt stands for the single gold standard; for a sound system of cur rency; for merit as the test for public service; for the Jeffersonian principles of territorial expansion; for the protection of property rights- of Individuals and of corporations; for the protection of per sonal rights whether the persons have or have not property: for the encouragement of all Industrial enterprises, but for the restriction of power abused by monopoly. One might take up the first Inaugural address of Thomas Jefferson and, applying its requirements to the Administration of President. Roosevelt, decide that, allow ing for the changed conditions following 100 years of territorial expansion and In dustrial progress, the Administration of 1903 Is following In the footsteps of 1803. Roosevelt Democrats are supporting the President not because of any party loy alty, but because of their devotion to principles. They are supporting him be cause they believe that he speaks for the course that best promotes the welfare of the whole country. They support him be cause bis Administration is not a sec tional but a National Administration. They support him because, reviewing his recommendations and influence that he has had in Congress, they believe that under his direction It will be possible to restrict within reasonable bounds the power of aggregated capital without de stroying the benefits that come from the principle of co-operation applied to great Industrial enterprises.

Front a report y Major Stanhope E. Blunt. The post, exenange, occuping rooms In the barracks, is attractively fitted up, and upon the occasion of some inspections I made In the Summer of 1900, without prior warning to the men, I was particularly Impressed with their orderly and quiet de portment. I found them sitting around tables playing games of checkers, domi noes, etc, and, with a pipe and a glass of beer, taking the same rational and re spectable enjoyment in life that a man does In his club or in his own house. After a hot day's work very many of these men desire their glass of beer, and to obtain It now go about two miles to some saloon, and, having been at such trouble to get it, frequently take more than the one or two glasses which formed their usual custom, at the post exchange. The total amount of drunkenness has recently been great, and In comparison with its almost total absence prior to last February the contrast appears, very marked. Since the middle of last Febru ary, when the general order went Into effect, there have been 11 court-martial cases in this detachment of about SO men for the offense of drunkenness or other offense Incident thereto, as compared with only 12 trials during the .five years prior to last February. The post exchange, with Its sale of beer and light wines under the regulations in force to last February, was, in my opinion, the greatest Influence- for the promotion of sobrie.ty and discipline Sarsaparilla If you feel run down, are easily tired, if your nerves are weak and your blood is thin, then begin to take the good old standard family medicine Ayer's Sarsapa rilla.
