}•'. Skilly from his guards at the Santa
Ana hospital and summarily execute
him. Sheriff Lacy tonight caused him
to be removed to the county Jail.
Throughout the day reports have been
i. i elVed at tho sheriff's office that plans
»vrc being made to lynch Skelly, and
tonight there was such an undercur
rent that tho sheriff decided that it
would bo unwise to take any chancel
with his prisoner.
Skelly was quietly taken from l'"°
hospital and was safely within tho
prison doors before it wus known that
he would bo transferred. He has been
in the hospital since tho day his wife
received the burns which caused her
death, suffering from burns about tho
anus, head and face, which were sup
posed to have been received while try
ing to save Mrs. Skelly from the flames,
and since the return of the verdict of
the coroner 1! Jury yesterday, In which

further investigation on a charge of
having- started with gasoline tho fire
which resulted in Mrs. Skeliys death,
he has beon under guard.
Skelly appeared this morning before
Justice of the Peace Stnithwick and
his preliminary examination was set
for 111 o'clock Thursday mornliiK, May
19. He was denied ball, and the Bherlfl
was directed to retain him in custody.
Melrose & Ames of Anaheim and
Williams & Rutan of Santa Ann have
he.'ii retained to defend Skelly, and
Attorney Rutan was present this
morning to plead for bail fur his client.
The pli'a was based on the man's burns
and the necessity of looking after his
business. IMstrlct Attorney S. M. Davll
declared that under tho law Skelly
could not be balled until after the pre
liminary examination.
The case has aroused intense ex
citement here and in Westminster,
where the tragedy took place. Two
men who are expected to be important
Witnesses wore not called at tho in
quest, nt which the only really impor
tant witnesses were Mrs. T. J. Lewis,
the mother of Mrs. Skelly, and Skelly
himself. The men whoso testimony la
expected to be of value are J. R. Ca
vanah and Bookkeeper Oana of tho
Celery Growers' association. Cnvanah
was the first person to aid In putting
out the llaines that enveloped Mrs.
Skelly when she ran Into the yard. He
hoard Mrs. Skelly's words: "Frank,
why dtd_jou do It?" He and (Jans were
the men who put out tho fire that was
blazing in the pantry from which the
burning woman lied. Here he and Gans
found the marks of the flames upon tho
walls, and a broken Jar on the floor.
Gans had charge of Skelly's book
keeping, doing the work In tho evening.
Sometimes after working all evening he
slept at the Skelly home. Ho did this
Thursday night last, the night before
tho tragedy of Friday morning. Frldaj
morning about 4 o'clock he was awak
ened by Skelly, who asked If he were
asleep. (Jans says ho replied that ho
had boon asleep until awakened just
th n. Skelly then want away, he says,
and Gans went to sleep, but was
aroused by screams. Hurrying down
stairs, he arrived Just in time to see
Mrs. Skelly brought In from the yard.

2-000,000 Rats-More or Less-
Threaten to Overrun
the Town
SUMMIT, N. J., May 13.—Rats—
2.000,000 or so of them—which infest
tho city garbage dumps, threaten to
overrun the residential sections of
Summit and the board of health has
appealed to experts in New York'city
to provide a means for their extermi
nation.
The serious nature of the visitation
iras called forcibly to the attention of
the authorities by a recent roport from
a school principal to the effect that
children in an outlying suburban sec
tion have been making long detours
on their way to and from school be
cause of their fear of being bitten by
tho rodents.
The statement that the totak num
ber of rats reaches two millions is
based on an estimate made by a mem
ber of the board of health aftor a
personal inspection. One of the rats
seen recently by city employes Is re
ported to be fully two feet long, and
many others are said to have attained
phenomenal size.
The dumps are in an abandoned rail
road cut. Three sides are Inaccessible,
but on the side away from the city
the cut is open and no one dares ap
proach unarmed from lhat direction.
The rats have driven away the stray
curs that used to get their living at
the dump, and tho scarcity of wan
dering dogs has left the dog warden
without a job. The authorities are un
willing to spread poison on tho refuse
because of the danger that the rats
would spread Into nearby houses and
stables to die.

Everett Wife Murderer Suffers 22
Minutes of Agony at
the Gallows
'DROP ME AGAIN!' HE GROANS
Stiffens Muscles When Trap Is
Sprung— Victim
Loosens Arm Buckles
[Associated Props]
WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 13.—
Moaning "For God's sake, take me up
and drop |me again, boys," Richard
Qulnn, a wife murderer of Everett,
Wash., dangled at the end of the rope
beneath the scaffold ta the prison this
morning and slowly strangled to death,
it being twenty-two and one-half min
utes from the time the trap was sprung
until he whs taken down.
The horror was no fault of the hang
man. Tlio cords In Ola back oi Quinn's
neck were abnormally large, and ho
held his head back and tensed the
muscles as the trap was sprung.
Attendants were startled when
Quinn's legs began to twitch and were
horrified by his groans of "Boys, this
is awful," and "For God's sake, take
ma up and drop me again, boys."
—So conscious was he that he was able
to unbuckle the straps about his arms
and drop them to the ground. After a
moment his words became more in
articulate. Finaly he ceased to sway,
and died after twenty-two minutes.
Quinn was one of the nerviest men
who ever went on the scaffold here. He
refused spiritual advice. He spent the
night writing letters, ate a Tie^arty
breakfast, and as the Jailer came to
lend him away he asked for a smoke.
This was denied him, and he ran up
stairs as gayly as though death was
not ahead. From the scaffold he said
he was Innocent, as the shooting of his
wife was an accident. Quinn was the
thirteenth man to be hanged here, and
a peculiar coincidence is that this is
Friday, the 13th.
TENDERFOOT BANDITS
TOO HUNGRY TO FIGHT
Maricopa Train Robbers' Arrest
Saved Them from Death
by Bullets
PHOENIX, Ariz., May 13.—Sheriff
Carl Hayden and posse arrived at
Phoenix this morning with the Marl
copa train robbers in custody. The
latter are brothers, Oscar and Earnest
Wootfson, recently from Oklahoma
City. Their flight from the railroad
and attempt to reach Mexico was at
tempted without knowledge of desert
conditions and but for their arrest
they probably would hay» perished.
Earnest, the younger, emerged from
an arroyo in which they were hidden
near the Vekol mine when Hayden's
automobile appeared ana demanded
water. He was arrested but was so
famished he paid no heed, only re
peatedly demanding 1 water and drink
ing almost a gallon. The other man
was languidly taking his rifle from the
saddle scabbard under slight cover of
scant mesqulte, but desisted upon com
mand. Both men were "tenderfeet"
and too weak after their 80-mile desert
ride to make a fight.
Hayden was forced to abandon his
machine owing to a breakdown and
the party rode into Casas Grande on
a farm wagon, arriving here this
morning.
The Woodson boys will be tried for
train robbing under the federal in
stead of the territorial statutes. War
rants charging them with having held
up the Phoenix & Marlcopa passenger
train were issuod today, and they will
be given a preliminary hearing before
the United States commissioner here
on Monday.
The boys, both of whom appear older
than the ages they gave, make no de
nial of the crime, but they refuse to
talk. There Is doubt that Woodson Is
their right name, but they decline to
tell where their parents now live.

SELL STAKES FOR STEAKS;
PACKERS ARE IN TROUBLE
Planked Steaks 0. X., but Staked
Steaks Don't Go
CHICAGO, May 13.—Because lamb
stakes are not worth the market price
of lamb steaks, but nevertheless are
sold by the Chicago packers to re
tail butchers at the same price—ls
cents a pound—City Sealer John Kjel
lander has filed suits against eight
packing firms charging them with
"short weight."
The city sealer plans to abolish the
practice of charging for the wooden
stakes used to spread the carcasses
of "caul" lambs. Kjellander made an
inspection one day this week, and found
that 3000 "caul" lamb carcasses were
sold. The total paid for wooden stakes
that day, he estimates, was $210. The
yearly Income to the packers for wood
at lamb prices, he puts at $65,000.
RICH JEWELRY HAUL IS
MADE BY CUSTOMS MEN
New York Officials Call the Bluff
Made by Ranchman from
Nicaragua
NEW YORK, May 13.—A bagful of
antique Spanish Jewelry valued at be
tween $10,000 and $20,000 Is in the hands
of customs officers here today, as the
result of a seizure made by a deputy
collector from Nicholas Morales, a
Nicaraguan ranch owner. Signor Mo
rales and his wife came into port yes
terday on the steamship Colon.
They declared about $3000 worth of
Jewelry, most of which Mrs. Morales
wore, and they were about to proceed
to an uptown hotel for a two weeks'
stay before sailing for Europe when
the customs man discovered a little
package which aroused his suspicions.
He found in the package a brilliant
display of jewelry not down In the
declaration. The lot included a large
gold cross set with a big diamond and
eleven smaller ones, a collarlike neck
lace containing twenty-two large and
eighty-seven small diamonds, two
bracelets with twenty-three stones, a
medallion brooch with fifty-one dia
monds and a pair of diamond earrings.
Signor Morales explained he was
taking the jewelry to Paris to be re
mounted for a friend, and stated that
he did not know that it was necessary
for him to declare jewelry belonging to
someone else and which was merely in
transit.
He was informed that he might have
avoided trouble by having the jewelry
put in bond. He will appeal to the
secretary of the treasury for the release
of the jewelry.

REDUCTION IN SIZE OF
PAPER MONEY IS LIKELY
Uncle Sam Sees Way to Econo
mize in Paper and Awaits
Recommendations
CHICAGO, May 13.—A special from
Washington says:
A reduction In the size of the paper
money of the United States will bo
made if Secretary of Treasury Mac-
Veagh accepts recommendations that
will be made to him within a few
weeks by a committee of treasury of
ficials appointed to Investigate this
and other proposed reforms.
The object of the proposed change
is to supply the country with a size
of currency more convenient for hand
ling and to save the government $500,
--000 a year in paper and engraving.
The new sized bank note to be recom
mended is about three-fourths as large
as the notes now in circulation. The
present notes are of a size that has
been the standard for generations.
An experiment of the advantages of'
the changes has been with the Philip
pine currency which is engraved at the
treasury. The Philippine bank note is
about three-fourths the size of the
American note and Is ertrAmoly n.t
--| tractive in appearance.
On account of the smaller size, five
instead of four notes can be engraved
on a page of currency note paper, and
this, in addition to the economy of
paper, means a tremendous saving.
