POLIGE ARREST VITRIOL JACK Fellow Who Maliciously Runicd Ladies Apparel MORAL DEGENERATE He is a Woman-Hater Says a Wo man Treated Him Wrong Once and He Has Since Huted the Sex For That Reason Alone. He IX-clnres, He Has Thrown Vitriol On the Dresses of Hundreds As He Passed Them On the Streets. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Baltimore, Md., Feb. 19 In the ar rest of John Krlegendorfer, the police, of the northwes'tcrn district say .they, have captured "Jack the vitriol thrower," who for two years has been throwing acid on the dresses of young, women and girls. He is 32 years old. is employed In a box factory on Fred erick street. From what he has said of himself the police believe that he is a degenerate, who finds pleasure in throwing vitriol on the dresses of women. In the station house after his arrest he broke down sobbing and said lie had been throwing vitriol on women for several years. "I have always hated women," he said. "One of them treated me wrong Once, and I've got no use for any of them. I suppose that's the reason I threw the acid on them." In the past eighteen months thirty three cases of acid thuowing have been reported to the police, and it '.' is be lieved there were many other victims who never reported their cases. SWAMP MURDERER FORMALLY INDICTED (By Leased Wire to Tile Times.) j New York, Feb. 19. The grand j Jury of Hudson county, X. J., has I found an Indictment for murder in i the first degree against Theodore S. ; Whltmore, the elevated railway mo-1 torraan suspected of killing his wife In Lamp Black Swamp In Harrison, N. J., on Christmas day. The Indictment, which was return ed to Justice Blair at Jersey City, charges that Whltmore "wilfully and feloniously and . with malice afore thought did murder Helena Whltmore In the township of Harrison on De cember 25." Under the Jersey law, the degrea of murder may be determined by the prosecutor on the basis ot the evi dence at hand. It is probable that Whitmore will be arraigned on the indictment to day and that a speedy trial will re sult. He expressed himself as anx ious to be brought to trial and Geor gia Dickinson, the chief witness against him who is being held, is equally anxious. Assistant Prosecu tor Vlckers will have charge of the case. ANOTHER SETBACK FOB HARRY THAW; DELAY ADVISABLE (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Feb. 19.

I Won In wages Is duo to natural BADIIOES WASHINGTON SAYS TILLMAN (Bv Leased Wire to The Times.) j Washington, D. C Feb. la. ---Ad-' dressing "the.- senate tills morning in a bjef speech, Senator Tillman, of j Soffth Carolina, called attention to I the startling increase of crime in the District of Columbia and ascribed it largely to the '.negroes of the city. He made his remarks- i)rior to the Intro duction of a comprehensive vagrancy bill which is based on the Massachu setts code dealing with this subject. Senator Tillman declared it was important' that the cause for the crime which the district was now suf fering, should be removed rather than that efforts should be made to correct the evils after they had been done. He claimed the negroes of the idle and shiftless class a3 being to a great extent responsible for the rob beries and like crimes lately re ported.:,'.'""' The same existed in all southern cities. It was partly due to the over education of some of the negroes, in his opinion, "Owing to the over-education of some negroes,'' he said, "they are made to have higher aspirations than it is possible for them to attain." Senator Tillman's bill to define and suppress vagrancy specifies in detail the persons who shall be '.considered-., vagrants. : Its definition in cludes all idle and immoral persons and those leading a profligate life; Idle persons who have no visible means of support; persons who fre quent evil resorts; persons wander ing abroad 'and begging, and various others. The bill provides that everv person who is convicted of vagran cy shall be put under a bond of $500 for his good behavior for one year. Violation of these conditions of the bond will bo punished by sentence to the workhouse for a period not to exceed one year. Icquiry into Railway wages (Continued from First Page.) mission: "I am informed that a number of railroad companies have served no ! t:t' of proposed reduction of wagM than it can possibly obtain from the special pleadings certain to be put forth by each side in case their dis causes, the loss of btisinass being such that the burden should be, and is, equitably distributed beiween capitalist and wage worker, the pub lic should know it. If it was caused by lagislation the public and con gress should know it, and if it is caused by miscoaduci in 'the past financial or other operations of anv railroad, then -verybody should know it, especially if ths excuse of unfriendly lagislation is advanced as a method of : covering up past business misconduct by the railroad iianagers, or as a justification fur allure to treat fairly the wage earning employes of the company. Moreover, an industrial conflict be tweon a railroad corporation and its employes offers peculiar opportuni ties to any small number of evil-disposed persons to destroy life and property and fjmani, public disorder. Of course, if life, property and pub lic orders are endangered, prompt and drastic measures for their pro tection beeoms the first plain duty. All ot:iev ii-sues then become subor dinate to the preservation of the public peace, and tha real merits of the original controversy as necessa rily loot from view. This vital con sideration should be ever kept in mind by . all law-abiding and fav sigMed members of labor organi'.a t ions, it is sincerely to be hoped, therefore., that any ware contro versy. t.aat may arise between the railroads and their employe's may find a peaceful solution through the-methods -of conciliation and . ar bitration already . .provided by. con gress"''.whi.ch ha'v-3 proven so effective during Ve past year.
