ROOT'S PLEA WINS

audible, the opponents of the bill, after
hearing Mr. Root'?, speech, having evi?

A little before U o'clock the conven?
tion adopted a motion to debate the
proposal until midnight, when a rote
would be taken. Hut the adoption of
the proposal whs conceded, even by the
most rampant anti-short-ballot man.
Kreder.i'k C. Tanner, chairman of the
committee on Governor and other stHte

after hearing Senator Root's speech:
"It was the greatest spi ech I ever

"Stand by the Short Ballot."
Senator Root ?aui in part:

Washington, Aug. 30. It win ?tateil
authoritatively to-night that the next

in the near future, regardless of the
nature of Carranzu's belated reply to
the offer of Sicretary Lansing and

for a peace conference.
Responses from General /apata and
his military advisers reached th? Stato
Department to-day, accepting the offer
of the Tan-American conferree?. With
the receipt of these replies Villa ad?

agent? declared to-day that they ex?

The Staate Department received to
a report from W. (). Jenkins,
American consular representative at
Pueblo, Mexico, expressing fear that
his life is in dnnger, the t'arranzista
authorities having again threatened

uncovered evidence showing that in the
last month there have been shipped
from this city and Ogden to ?gent* of
Victoriano Huerta, on the Mexican bor?

that plan? for a revolt are going on, in
tplte of the leaders' incarceration, and
that Huer'a adherents are getting ready
in the United State? to rush across the
border and attack Carrant? and Villa.

HONOR SYSTEM
FOR BLACKWELL'S
Commissioner Davis Will?
ing to Give Convicts
Start as Republic.
Prisoners on Blaekwell'? Island may
have a taste of the hmior system. Dr.
Katharine R. Davis, Commissioner of
Correction, believes in it to a certain
extent and is willing the city's con?
victs should try their hands at self
government. It all depends upon the
? prisoners.
For the first time in the history of
the Rlackwell's Island institution, all
prisoners were granted a half holiday
Saturday afternoon. While the boys'
band from the Hart's Island Reforma?
tory played its way through .. concert
programme, 1.4i!2 convicts sat on the
lawn and listened to the music. There
are about 1.H00 prisoners in the insti?
tution, but the other?; were at work in
' the bakery and kitchen.
"They all behaved like gentlemen,''
i said Commissioner Davis. "Allowing
them all to leave the buildings at onco
and assemble on the lawn was an ex?
periment. It had never been tried be?
fore under other commissioners, but I
had no qualm?. I was certain that
order would be preserved.
"And I was right," she continued.
"They marched ou-, of the buildings in
a perfectly orderly manner and when
the rain broke up the concert returned
in the same way.
Commissioner Davis does not intend
to Immediately install the honor sys?
tem among the prisoners. Just because
they were orderly on one occasion does
not indicate to her that they are
capable of self-government. Anything
approaching such a system will be a
slow and natural development.
"I have Studied the honor system in?
troduced at S'ng Sing," Dr. Davis
added, "and there are some good feat?
ures to it which might be worked out
successfully in a city prison. Rut we
are not going to foist it upon the pris?
oner! there. If the) want it the de?
mand must come from them, and they
have got to prove step by step that
they are worthy of it."
The Commissioner was greatly im?
pressed with the showing made Satur?
day afternoon.
"We had a larger army seated right
there on the lawn," she declared, "than
they have at Plat'-burg. And there
was no disturbance. I made a little
Kpeeeh to the men and told them this
was an experiment, but that the way
they had acted showed mo that lueh
things could be done. The prisoner*
applauded."
In addition to the barchall {-amos
held every week between *e-nns from
the workshops, other entertainments
will be given from time to time. Com?
missioner Davis said Fvery Sundny
afternoon in winter there is a recital
on the great organ ir^ 'ailed la
in th" cell block bee:.use there wa- n .
room for it elsewhere! bul in addition
there may be more elaborate enter?
tainments if privileg?! are nol '
NO REPRIEVE FOR ROACH
Governor Whitman Denies Application
to Commute Death Sentence.
Albany, Aug. 30. Governor Whit?
man denied today the application of
Loins M. Roach for commutation of
his sentence of death for the killing
of John Barrett, of Palan-.e Bridge.
Roach's execution mis Leen set for
Friday at Sing Sing prison.
"I am convinced.' the Governor said
in a statement, "that it is my duty to
deny tne application for executiv.)
clemency.
"I have been impressed by the letter:!
written by many of the citizens who
live in that section of the state where
: the crime was committed, and by the
petition in the prisoner's behalf, signed
by thousands, but I am sure that many
of the petitioners are not familiar with
the evidence
"Kverything that is bejor? me, ex

Olson last evening denied that -he
ever ?aid that Mrs. Carmody would
have been alive to-day if ?he had not

"When I heard that Mr?. Carmody

Mrs. Olson.
Mrs. Olson's daughter, Mr?. Alice
Jani, who live? with her, te?tified yes?
terday that the treatment left her in
a seriously weakened condition.
"My physician decided to u?e the
treatment in my case," ?he said, "and
on the night of September 3 he ad?
ministered the first injection. The
physician told my mother that he did
not use all the drug?, as one of them

? ?aid, as she held out her robust eleven -

would never recommend any mother
I to use it. It does not relieve pain, as

N'either Mrs. Olson nor Mr?. Jani
would reveal the identity of the phy?
sicians who were connected with the
case. Mr?. Olson, who i? a robust
woman, the mother of eight children,
of whom four are living, showed sign?
of ?1. pression over the death of Mrs.
Carmody. She says her purpose i? ti
interest wealthy women in tue anti

money to circulate literature and rent
