Gunmen Have
for Res
of Cour
N"ew York, April 11.—Relatives and friends of thef uurkunmenj
tenced to the electric, chair early Monday morning for the muraer of
•Gambler Herman Rosenthal, and also the convicted men, based their
hopes for respite on a hearing which began before Justice John TV. GofE
of the supreme court, on motion for a new trial.
It is doubtful if the heading can be concluded today, in which event
It is expected that District Attorney Whitman will join with the coun
sel for the gunmen in requesting Governor Glynn to grant the respite.
Washington, April 11.—Joseph W.
Polk, chief counsel for the interstate
commerce commission, expects to be
gin early next week in the supreme
court jn the District of Columbia,
proceedings to compel the witnesses in
the New Haven railroad investigation
to answer the questions concerning the
operations of the Billard Co. If it
should be necessary to take similar
steps to compel the production of the
books and records of the Billard Co.,
another proceeding will probably be
started at New Haven.
Unless such respite is received by Warden Clancy of Sing Sing*^
prison before the time set for the execution, Clancy made it plain that
the electrocution will go ahead as planned.
Warden Clancy stated his position in reply to interrogations from,
counsel for the gunmen, who requested the execution be postponed until
Thursday against the contingency of having to continue arguments
before the court beyond today.
In the proceedings to be started the
Billard Co., several recalcitrant wit
nesses, presumably connected with the
Billard Co.. "the New Ilaven railroad
and its subsidiary, the New England
Navigation Co., will be made defend
ants, although the railroad and navi
gation companies express a desire to
comply with the commission's orders.
Elliott Talks.
New Tork, April 11.—Chairman
Howard Elliott of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Co., said
last night, before leaving for Boston:
"The Billard Co. matters which are
now under investigation by the com
merce commission, relate to happen
ings several years ago, before I was
connected with the New Haven com
pany. Every facility has been given
by the New Haven company to the
investigators of the commerce com
mission for the examination of the
books and records of. the New Haven
company, for the purpose of obtaining
information about any transactions
with the Billard Oo. The New Haven
company does not in any way control
the Billard Co.:. nor has it control of
the books and papers of that company.
"By an inadvertence it is stated in
several of the afternoon newspapers
in their Washington dispatches, that
Judge Henry Stoddard represented the
New Haven company before thp

DOCTORS TO MEET
AT ROCHEST
Marion Silovitch, a 17-year-old
Jewess, who had worked In a little
jewelry store in Brooklyn as a
clerk for several months with no
other ambition than to take her
few dollars home to her mother
every Saturday night, returned to
her home the other day with a
letter from the executor of her
uncle's estate in Odessa, Russia,
an uncle from whom none of the
family had heard in many years.
"Your uncle has left you 200,
000 rubles, it read. That meant
.yearly $100,000.
The uncle was a wealthy jwheat
commission merchant in Odessa,
ijis poorer brother had emigrated
to the United States many years
before/ He had riCV-prospered, and
he seldom heard from the mer
ohant. But the uncle had always
been partial to his niece.
"What are you going to do with
the money?" a reporter asked the
girl.
"Make mother and father happy
for the rest of their days," was
her answer.

Rev. H. S. Rambo, a well known
minister of New York city, now knowj|
something of the feeling of loneliness
that comes to the man out of a Job
and home In a big city. He, with Rev.
Graham S. Hunter, spent one cold
night on the streets of New York
without funds. This is his story of his
experiences:
"We wore no overcoats, and as our
clothes wero ragged we suffered from
the cold, as the night was bitter. We
had not shaved for two days, and no
one whom we met suspected that we
were not tramps, We applied, half
frozen, to the municipal lodging house
for food
shelter. We found it al­
ready overcrowded with vagrants. We
finally got a cup of coffee each ajid a
few slices of.bread. I have never tast
ed anything better In all my life, for I
was chilled and mighty hungry. There
were, more than 200 men stretched out
on the hard floor, and every bed was
occupied. We finally slept on the floor
with the others.
"We were particularly Struck by the
fact that many of the men we saw in
the place had good faces, showed no
signs of dissipation, and were just
plain unfortunates in the race of life.
Of course there was a quota of men
who showed that they were victims of
drink, but many, far too many—were
begging a night's lodging and coffee
and bread because they found it im
possible to earn a roof and a meal. I
can say from personal experience that
most of the men we encountered were
anxious to get work but found it im
possible to obtain. We talked with
many men, who told heart-rending
stories, often also concerning the
plight of women and children whom
these fathers haa failed to support

arrested March 16 in the lobby of the
house of commons, dressed In man's

horsewhip. She was sentenced to six
weeks at hard labor at that time.
When the public prosecutor opened

The magistrate remonstrated with
the prisoner but she declared she.

home secretary".
Thereupon Stewart threw a ball of
paper at the magistrate's head. He
ordered the hearing postponed.

men holding her arms. Several police
men were held in reserve in the court.

EASTER
IN

Washington, April ®1. It will
probably be a rainy Easter Sunday all
over the east. Unless some freak of
nature sets tho predictions of the
weather bureau experts awry, there
will toe rains and snows in the north
ern portion of the east and rains over
the eouthern districts.
Prof. 13. F. Ladd left yesterday for
Washington to attend a meeting of the
committee appointed to prepare
standards and definitions under tho
provisions of tho food and drug laws.
This committee is composed of nine
members three appointed from tho
bureau of chemistry, department of
agriculture threo from the Associa
tion of Official Agricultural Chemists
and three from the Association of Na
tional and State Food, Dairy and Drug
Departments.
The committee will met in Welling
ton, Monday, April 13, to organize and
take uo the
woTk
of formulating
standards and definitions for use un
der both the state and national food
and drug laws.
It is hoped that preparing
of standards and definitions that are
acceptable to tho several statef* and
national authorities, that the work of
enforcing tha. various state laws, to
gether with the national law, will be
simplified and made easier, and that
court practices will be simplified.
At the present time in each case It
Is necessary to establish tho standard
of what constitutes adulteration, but
if this can onco be established through
standards and definitions, the work Is
very much simplified.

According to official news received by the Spanish cabinet fiW*
Mexico, the expelled Spaniards are in a critical situation and th©
government dccided to approach the United States governnicnt on
their behalf independently of measures Spain is taikng to bring her
subjects back to their own country.
Madrid, April 11.—The Spanish foreign minister ha« asked Col.
J. EL Willard, United States ambassador to Spain, to
government at Washington to intervene in favor of tn© 1,000 SpAn*.
sh subjects, expolled from Torreon.
Washington, April 11.—An official report of the arrest and sub
sequent release of American marines at Tamjyieo waa received 1JT
Secretary Daniels, who forwarded It to President Wilson at White
Bulphur Springs. Rear Admiral Mayo reported that after the ma
rines were released upon his demand. ho gave the Huerta com
mander twenty-four hours to salute the American colors as an
apology.
The time expired at 6 o'ciock la3t night. Tho report received
did not say whether the demand had been complied with, btrt
Daniels interpreted press dispatches, saying the Mexican command
er had apologized, as meaning that ho complied with Mayo
'a de
mand.
I^ater Charge O'Shaughnnssy reported Huerta's apology for the
arrest and detention of the marines had been forwarded with A
copy of the statement Issued by Huerta. Bryan would not comment
on the stttemfnt, but will await a further full report of all cir
cumstances before announcing whether Huerta's explanation will
satisfy the government.
Despite the state department's renewed protest against tn«
wholesale expulsion of Spainards from Mexico, Counsel Hamm re
ported that Villa had his way. He also reported tho confiscation of
some Spanish properties.
No reply has been received to Bryan's communication to Car
ranza demanding that all cases of expulsion be considered on their
Individual merits. Meanwhile Consular Agent Carothors. and oth^r
consular officers in tho districts where there are Spanish colonies
will continue to press the state department's demands for tho saffty
of Spanish lives and property. Consul Hftmm reports heavy fight
ing at San Pedro with uncertain results, and many killed.
Mr. Doyle left Washington just a
week ago Inst evening, stopping for a
brief business matter in Chicago, and
th n came straight home.
"I was confirmed marshal in the
United States senate at twenty min
utes of 6 o'clock last Friday night," he
said. "And at ten of 6 o'clock 1 waa
boarding the train at the union sta-!
tion for Chicago."
Will Move Later.
Mr. Doyle will not immediately re
move his family to Fargo from Car
rinRton, at least until aftrr tho
present school year is over, as he does
not wish to interrupt his daughters In
their studies at so near the close of
the term.
The new marshal is in a jovial mood
and the people of Fargo will find him
likable and enterprising, always
working with the best interests of the
city and state at heart.
No Appointments Made.
Mr. Doyle stated that no appoint
ments had been made at all regarding
the chief deputy nor any of the depu

Earlier this morning, when seen at
