ESTABLISHED EST 1 WHO WROTE IT? An Incendiary Circular Found on Stree ts of Camden ? ISSUED BY JI&E028 Creatly Enraged tbe Good People of Camden and They Indalge In Some Plain Talk. R.pnted An tnonr Deny Writ ing It. A letter from Camden to The State ?says had tho Russian "terrorists" manifested \ their presence in our midst today by tbe distribution of revolutionary propaganda the sur prise and indignation would not have ?exceeded that which followed the finding on the streets of a seditious ?circular Wednesday morning which was ostensibly the work of a half score cf Ounden's most prominent >egro citizens. A gentleman walking on Broad street came on the disturbing dcou ~ment and upon noting its incendiary ?character turned it over to a friend who in turn posted it in his score -window. It read as follows: "Private notioe: Let ever ? colored man who gets this notice and who is interested in hia rights nwet at Rev. T. J. Williams' house on Sept. 6sn at S p. m. Not long ago a letter was published praising toe white people and abusing our people.

In a fe -7 minutes after tue circular was exoosed to view crowds of excited white men began to congregate on the s tree is and it wa* evident that something would have to be done "vary scon or trouble would follow. . i May or CaVrftnh waradvaed of the situation and in less than half an hour after the circular had been dis covered he htd the men whose names appeared thereon (before him in the city attorney's office.

Charles L?vey, who is charged with the authorship of the circular, is a former camden negro man, who was for a number of years engaged in editing a paper in Baltimore, and in educational work among his race. He returned to Camden sometime ago and seems not to have been bailed as a leader by the men of his race at home. A warrant has bzea issued . for Levy. A few months ago he published an article in The State in which he scor ed the men of his race in Camden, ending up with an appeal for whip ping posts, and sinoe that time there ha3 been bad fealJng between himself ?nd other colored men of the town. Ejv. T. J. Williams replied to him in Che State and the men whose names appear on tba circular think that its appeaeance is a soheme of Levy's to snuitfoniz? the white people against them. While there is no excitement here now over the occurrence worth speaking of, the citizens feel that a thorough investigation of the affair should be instituted. Sentiment is divided among the white people as to the real author ship of the circular. Some think that the circular ij, genuine and that the men whose names appear thereon are responsible for it, but most of the best citizens of the town are giving the men the benefit of the doout. They do not bslieve that colored men of their ini?lligenc9 and business I orominence would be tn sympathy with such a movement and that if they were ttey would bardly Jeopard ize their standing in tha community in which they earn their daily bread by allowing their names to appear on an incendiary papir. A R2AL BAU ST0BY. Wile Deported ana the Husband Re turned to Columbia Alone. The Columbia Record says Mrs. Sellemy Sabbagah, who was to have j rtoed her husband, George Sabbag&b, nere two months ago, and of wc>s s many troubles In the attempt The Record has told from time to time, has been finally deported, af ter getting as for as New York. It was suspected in Franca, whence she started on the second stage of her long journey from Syria to Columbia, that she was Buffering with trachoma, a disease of the eye peculiar to Syr ians, but she was given tfte benefit of the doubt and allowed to proceed on her way to New York. There it was found tbatsbe was suffering with tra choma in accordance with the custom of the immigration department she was ordered deporteck . Sabbagah, howeverefter^xhausting every effort here and expending more than 8100 from his savings, nad gone to New York, personally to ao what he might. Through the Syrian bis hop in New York he took up the oasB with the higher officials of the Ellis Island immigration station, where nisi wife., with her two-year cli child, was detained, and. the matter finally cime up to Secretary Metcaif, of the drpartment of commeroe and labor In Washington. The beat tbay the Sec retary could do was to advise Sabba gah to send his wife buck to Franco or Syria and have her try again, if she ojuld be cured of trachoma. He rei'u s.d to break tba departmental preced ent and reEC.nd the order of deporta tion. Thac was final. Sabbagah took a last farewell of his wife and babe, supplied.her with all the money he and his f Hands here could raise, and urged her' to ret urn to Elarsailes and there put herself un der the care of specialists, in the hope chat she mav be cured of the disease anifi be permitted after all to realize chair dreams and rejoin him in Uo lumbla. Tne goodbyes bad to ba sr.id through the iron bars that divide the visitors room of the station from the great pans under the sheds where sus pected immigrants are detained. Sabbagah has returned to Columbia and begun to work and plan harder than ever that he may replace the money lost in the present vain effort and save up more agrlnr.t the reunion whloh he confidently expects within a few months. The Childs pyps were sound, and he might have brought it with him but would not deprive the pjor mother of its comfort. Girl Eadea Life.

ORANGE BURGK S. SHE WONT TELL Insists She Was the Murderer of Her Own Betrothed. AN INNOCENT GIRL Who May Go to the Gallows Rather Than Involve the Man That She Loves More Than Her Own Life. A Very Strange! Gase.] i Pretty little Emma Staphany, al though ill-taught anc\ unused to the ways of the great world beyond her narrow lnvironment. Bits in her cell in the jail at Pottsville, Pa., a veril-. able sphinx. By all the rules by which detectives' experience baa taught tbem to weigh the probabilities of guilt or innocence, Emma Stephany is no murderess Yet ovor and over again she has rais ed her hand and declared to them: "I tell you that I killed him?I shot him with his ownrevolvar." ?'What did you do with the revol ver after the shooting?" "I threw it over the fenoe." "You ought to know that James Frizz3ll never had a revolver. Why i do you risk your neck by telling such a story?" And then the gin, her bowm heav ing with agitation, would deolare again that it was sho who had shot James Frizzell. "Why did you do it? He was your love'1- Y >u were to be married to him." And then, in a frenzy of dread of something which is the great nv>s tery of this strange oase she would wail: "No one else did it! 01,1 did it! I did it! It was an aooident, but I, ana no one else, Killed James Friz zalll" For weeks and weeks her jailers have kept a close watch upon her in the hope that some unguarded act, some uncontrollable access of emotion during her long nichts in her dismal o?.ll?whioh overlooks the Jail yard in whlou six Molly Migune terrorists of the coal regions were hanged in a sin gle hour- would betray her and offer a solution of the mystery. But all the enlightenment they gained for their pains was when one night last week she rose from her cot and walked to the grated window and, after gazing out into the jail yard with its grewsome memories, mur mured: "I wonder if they will hang me?" This remark, made at such an hour when Bhe believed herself to be qalte alone, was Interpreted to be the ex pression of one who, knowing herself to be really lunocent, wondered if it could actually be possible for the law to send to the gallows a guiltless par don. A<? none of the dat?ctives engaged upon the oase had given credence to ?'confession," the scene just desoribed see mad to add force to their tbeory that the girl had taken the crime up on herself in order to save the real murderer. Then whom could the real criminal be? This,is stlil a mystery. Is ho a second lovar who kept himself 'n the backgrjuui so effectually that not evan his nvne is known, who had won her from Frlzzal:?, She is sa d to have made to a member of her fam ily, who reported is to the police, one remark that hinted at such a condl tion of sff Urs. "1 muao ai^eld him, or he will not marry me." But ever since her arrest upon her own coafeiBion she has stead fas cly de nied caring for any man except the one Bhe d^-olares she shot If she is shielding tne real murderer, sha cer tainly is doing in thoroughly. There Is no doubt that, whatever her own part In the tragedy, Enna Stephany knows ail about the murder of James Frlzzell Early In Lha day of July 4, this year, the oody of tola you..? oun was found in a Pottsvill? sweet, shot through the heart. Baforo the body was removed a cro^d githwrad about it. One of these curious p ?rscnu was Emma SuOpaany. Sn? leaned over the prostrate form, &nak?.;i, agitated. "i)o vou recogniza niai?'' a police man asked her. "1 do not know this man," sho sob bed, and walked away. When the idoatity of the dead man waB revealed to tha policy- that he had lately been tb9 aooeptel lover of Euma Stephauy?they immediately went to the girl's homa and qiescioa ed her. The result showed uer to be either a marckrcM or a woman phe nominally gifted with powers of sub tle reasoning exertad wloh soma mys terious obj 5Ct to view. She sat in silence while ha* thor oughly alarmed mother declarer} tua* her daughter had retired at aer uuuii hour?which wis early?and hwd no*, left hf?r room a u ring all the nigot or the murder. Tno elder woman vvapt, lamenting: "He was suoh a lino young man. I am sure he would have made a gooj husband for my daughter." "When you loo ted at tha bodyiu Vq3 street, way di i you si? tha'j you did not recogo.'zi ii?" d^rnind?d one 0' the p 'liceco iu of the girl. "I vn frightened," s ic m'irmu-ed. T:ie polio .m :n 1 >oked ai har Bhai p ly, setting a trip. '"ffii? i-1 thla o-bcr-man youhavs b9:n keeping c. rnpu>y with lataly." The sha i want straight hjma. "It it* false," i?-!d l te girl, Uu: ile - pV.a. "I U73 oy:n kaeping oompa iy with no ot \9t man." Th9 p *llo3 wera really nonplussad. They started to leave the house. p., THURSDAY, SEPTET Strangely enough, this seemed to alarm tha girl more than ever. They did not then have any real suspicion that there had been rival loven, so they were taken wholly by surprise when Emma Stephan? suddenly rose and said, in her mother's presence. "Take me with you. I was not home last night. My mother thought I was, but I was out Take me with you. I killed James Jrizzall." SHIELDING THE SEAL SLAAER. The policemen were dumbfounded. The poor mother fell on her daught er's neck, half fainting. "How did you do it?" demanded the r. nicer. "I shot blra with his own revolver," she said. "It was an accident. Take me with you; I will explain later." The officers had no alternative. They had to carry the girl off to jail, charged by ber c *n confession with having killed her lover. But sine m*ds no further cxplana tion esc'pt to declere chat she bad thrown the revolver "over the fenoe." Sbe became tbe Sphinx of the Potts Tille jail, whose pale face still gives no answer to those whe try to read it. In jail the girl's cunning in her ef forts to shield the real murderer?ac cording to the accepted police theory? grew sharper. Knowing that any let ter she wrote would be opened and read by tbe authorities, she penned and addressed to ber mother a con fession that she really had killed Friz zell. She had used Frizzell's own re volver, whioh she had hidden in her room. Be quick," she wrote; "take James' revolver and hide it. Then put in its place my father's revolver. When the police search my room they win find it, and this will clear me." Thi3 was not vary good logic, but it helped confuse the authorities. The letter was never delivered to the mo eher. The police searched the girl's room?and found no revolver of any description. ~ Taey also searched the vicinity of the murder, where there was a board fence inclosing a vacant lot, They searched every inch of ground beyond the fence, but found no revolver. At length they learned on good authority that Frizzell, a most peace ably Inclined young man, had never carried a revolver. Ail these circumstances strengthen ed the growing theory in the minds of police and deteotives that the girl was innocent of all except knowledge of the crime; that she hadsome powerful motive for shielding the real mur derer, t But here they lost the trail, whioh they not yet been able to recover. They were unable to find any one who had seen or hoard of Emms. Stephany in ? company with any man except James Fr.'zzill. They had to work upon only the framework of a mysterious romance dealing with a strange man, living, perhaps, in a neighboring city, who occasionally met Emma Stephany secretly; that it was him she reallj loved; that she still "kept company" with James Frizz jll for the sake of ap pearances and to satisfy her parents, who wished her to marry him; that on the night of tbe tragedy, not) expect ing this myteriou3 lover, she had walked out with Frizell; that the stranger, finding them together, flew into a rage, sho'. his rival dead and Oed the city. A DOCTOR A FEW DOORS AWAY. As it was on the eve of Independ ence D vy, with crackers of all sJzjs exploding in all directions, the report of the shot that killed Frlzzsll was not distinguished from numerous similar explosions. The shooting oc curing in a street little frequented, the body of the murdered man was not discovered until the next morn ?ng. There is still another reason for dis beliering Euma Stephany's "confes sion-" 8no dfdared that she had shot Fr ziill by accident, if chisha^ oeen true, and she loveS hl^n, and him only, would sbe not immediately have sought a sls&ance in ord-.r that his life might be savod, if po^ible. xn odo sine block, onl7 a "e ? doors a war?is Emmi S?Spnaa/ muis have known?liven the mi c faanus aur ?eon in that p*rb of t'u ^ate.

He Is Welcomed by Republicans as Well as Democrats on BEACHING LINCOLN. The Great Commoner's Neighbors Wei* come Him Back to His Home. The Republican Governor Makes an Address and Extends a Joyful Welcome. William Jennings Bryan reached bin home at Lincoln, Nebsaska, on Wednesday night and the "Home Folks" would welcomed him witb every evidence of approval and satis faction. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as suoh, and oarried out as planned. Lincoln has more Republicans than Demoorats, but to-night there was' no line of partisan division, and the wel come extended to both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan was a joyful one. The oity was handsomely decorated for the homecoming, the fronts of business houses being a mass of flags and bunting. The non-partisan nature of the reoepblon was emphazed in every way possible. Tne Bryan train arrived shortly after flva o'clook. There was a roar of welcome as Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform. In the party, aside from Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and their daughter Grace, was the Lincoln delegation, which left her ten days ago to meat at New York, and which Mr. Bryan ao companies on its homeward trip, to aether wit ha few of the Nebraskan Democratic mayors. Showing no sign of fatigue, bowing right and loft, with an occasional word to an old acquaintance, Mr. Bryan walked to a carriage. Seated with him were Governor Mickey, Mayor Brown and John E. Miller, preoident.of the Lincoln Com mercilal Olub. A seoond carriage had Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. W. D. Weloh, Mrs. J. E. Miller and Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha. Tuen in turn, followed oarriages containing members of the Baoeptlon Committee. There was a pretentious mounted escort, headed by Captain Chas. Cos grave, policemen on horseback, fra ternal organizations and individual marchers, the whole preoaded.by six oands. Along the route Mr. Bryan was re ceived with cordiality and enthusiasm The party traversed three of the principal business streets lined witb ohoaring oro wds, and than proceeded to the home of Charles W. Bryan,. ?here Mr. Bryan had dinner and rest ed for a time prior to going to the er oisss and reception. Two hours before the time for the exeroises at the Capitol grounds 35, 000 persons struggled for points of vantage around the speakers' stan.o Mr. Bryan wa<i escorted to tba stand by G:v. Miokey from his private.offije In the State house. Ina brief spaach of welcome Mayor Brown said: ''Before introducing Governor Miok ey, who will extend the greatlng of the State, Mr. Bryan, I, as Mtyor, welcome you home; not as a states man, not as a Democrat, but as that dearest to us all, our bslovad neighbor." Governor Miokey spoke of the awakening of the public conscience to civic righteousness. Mr. Bryan began by saying that in his travals he had learned that the Araoio language contained 600 wordB meaning camel, and that since return* ing to the United States ha had wish ed that the American language con tained as maoywrrli meaning. "I thauk you." He declared one ?appl aat part of the 3eng j.urney .van tae home-oom'ng, a; u ,ae.n warn; Into a general-descripticn of his travels.

Jerome Seeking Aid of Gold Demo crats and the Sepublicans in His Fight. District Attorney Wm. Travera Je rome of New York was the central Agare in the conference of up-State New York Democrats called to meet at Albany, N. Y., on Wednesday to consider the condition of the Demo cratic party in the State of New York. It was declared by the spon sors of the conference, leading among whom was ex-Mayor Thomas M. Oi borne of Auburn, that Mr. Jerome was present merely as a speaker, not as a party to the conference and that the meeting was not in the interest of his candidacy, or that of any other man for the governor. Mr. Jerome mentioned no names in his address. He dealt with the gen eral purposes, general condition and possibilities of the Damocratlo party. He declared it as his understanding that the conference was in the inter est of no particular cacdldaoy, least of all "to dlotate to or threaten the convention of our party Boon to as semble at Bufiilo." Ho took direot issue with the opin ion recently expressed bp Gov. Folk of Missouri and others though he named no one. "Rial leadership is nowhere in sight," said he, "and what passes for leadership seems to consist of demag ogic denunciation of existing condi tions and the advancing of vague aohemes of socialism and paternalism, which are essentially revolutionary In character. "We are not 'on the threshold of the greatest political awakening this nation has ever known,' marking 'the beginning of a new age,' but we are, I believe, about co return to our senses and to earnestly address ourselves to the solution of the difficult problems confronting us by the methods whloh the past hasBhown to be entirely ade quate to meet the greatest emergen cies. "Oar eleotions, where national po litical parties are involved, have be come little more than ignoble scram bles for office, in which eaoh candi date declares how good he will be if elected to off je and vies with his op ponent in olaiming trust-busting and anti-corporation virtues, not forget ting to emphaaiza how warmly his heart beat3 for organized labor. "In the midst of all this, 'the plain people' go about their business, see ing no real Issues of present interest in dividing the national parties, they stand indifferent to eaoh, ready and free to ohose when an issue aris e ijhat interests them." The republican party, he continu ed, had always been conservative, op posed to change and innovation, until today, half consciously It voices Its character by declaring itself to be the party of the "standpatter." "Oi the other hand, ttfe Democrat ic party has been the party of the Liberal. Only recently, he said, bad efforts been made to drag the party from the path of progress to that of revolution. "The men responsible for the pres ent demoralize condition of the party machinery should be driven out. From a great vote-getting organization, they have made it simply a delegate getting maohlne." The Democratic party, "disgraced and humiliated by years of misman agement, to give it no harsher namt," would array themselves behind their party candidates if they are men of character, standing on a platform of real Demooraoy. "And in that platform," he said, "they want no crazy ocialism nor revolutionary paternalism. What they want Is men and not measures. They nave little fait.h in nnws laws while ?here is not honesty and capacity :aough In public servants to work ihe nd." Walked in Ilia Siei p. ??Tister Teague Harris, the twelve r wold son of Mr. W.

So Does Lyon and Sullivan by v Good Majorities. RESULT OF PEIMARY. A Clear Majority of Both the Senate and the House 01 Representatives Are for the Dispensary, and Will Parity and Continue It. The dispensary system won in the late primaries by decisive majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Mr. Ansel's election to the governorship was more of ft personal victory for him than a ver dict against the dispensary, as he was voted for by thousands of people who voted for dispensary candidates for the legislature. Several of the so called probibitlon counties have elected dis pensary advocates to both branches of the legltfature, whila most of them gave Ansel good majorities. This shows that tbe people did not regard the vote for governor as the test vote on the dispensary question, and the fact that tbe people have elected ft dear majority of both the Senate and the Hquse favorable to the dispensary shows that they still believe that the dispensary is the best solution of the liquor question. Returns are incom plete up to the time of going to press, and it is impossible to give the exact majorities. The following is the vote as far as heard from in the State: FOR GOVERNOR. M. F. Ansel.38 553 R. I. Manning.....28.415 ATTORNEY-GENERAL. J. Fr?ser Lyon.40,091 Jas. W. Ragsdale.25,722 RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. J. M. Sullivan.;.36,006 John H. Wharton.28.48a The vote fell off in the country dis tricts but lnoreased in the olties and towns. Had a full vote been polled tbe race for governor would have been muoh closer, as the towns and eitles generally gave Ansel majorities while the county was for Manning. FATAL ACOIIUSHT.
