LINCOLN, July . 8peclaL) Consider

of resort to extraordinary wrlta of the

During the last few montha the prisoner
haa been learning the tenets of the Chris
tian Scientists and lately has frequently
remarked that he derived- much comfort
from the teachings received. Last night
the friends who were blddon a final good

teacher of that doctrine In order that ha
might perfect himself In the beliefs of the
church. The condemned man prays and
seems to be Lome up by his beliefs.

vanced yesterday as coming from Mr.
Doyle.
"I don't know what Mayor Adams intends
to do," said Mr. Doyle, "although I called
him up this morning. Tod understand thst
I cannot proceed without authority to do
o from Mr. Adorns,- who la Rhea's counsel.
If I had any authority from him I should
certainly take some acf.on and at once.
In fact I would have done so last evening,
but I am powerless in the matter."
Aaked If he understood that Mr. Adams
had beetl regularly retained as counsel for
Rhea, Mr. Doyle said that he so under
stood. He also said In response to interro
gatories by a reporter that It was this point
la the Rhea case which he and Judge Ryan
had been investigating during their visit
at the state library this morning and after
noon. , . ,
The attention of, Mr. Adams waa called
to thia . statement on the part of Mr.
Doyle, whereupon the regularly recognised
counsel for Rhea said that if Mr. Doyle
. desired to do anything he waa at liberty
to act.
An injunction might be granted by a
Judge of either the county court, the dis
trict or the supremo court. AJ1 of the dis
trict Judges are out of town, as are those
of the supreme court.
Late, this afternoon Judge Hamer and
Mr. Adam were In consultation on an
other point that may be urged in favor
of Rhea'a life. It Is to the effect that
when Governor" Savage granted the re
spite from April 2S of last year until July
10 of this year, he did hot stop there, but

In that he sentenced him to hard labor.
When a man la sentenced to be hung the
courts do not Impose hard labor, and Inas
much aa the governor did that In this in
stance, Judge Hamer contends that It
operated aa a commutation and nullified
the provision for the hanging. Such com
mutation, said Judge Hamer, Is within the
lawful power of the governor.

the west wall of the west cellhouse to a
place closer to the east end, and then will
test the trap device to see that everything
works smoothly, while the electrical con
nections will be carefully examined to see
that they are In perfect working order.
Several push buttons are arranged on the
side of the scaffold. Only one la con
nected up with the trap releasing .device.
Only the electrician will know which one
serves that purpose, and the man who
la Immediately responsible for letting loose
the trap will never know It. The rope will
also be tosted to see that It Is In good con
dition. ' Stryker will attend to the details
of fastening the noose about Rhea's neck,
as there are but few whose familiarity with
the Intricacies of the hangman's knot would
enable them to arrange the noose In the
proper manner. The arrangements for the
affair Will be so perfected that but few
minutes will suffice for the actual work of
s ( carrying out the execution. The prisoner
jstaa (been expected to make a short speech
I from the gallows, but he haa not yet slgnl-
' ilea any such wish to the warden. That
privilege will,' however, be granted aa a
matter of course, since It is always cus
tomary to allow condemned criminals to
aay anything they desire before the black
cap Is adjusted. f
While the hangman is In one part of the
penitentiary enclosure preparing the scaf

Preparing; for End.
Rhea's attorney has been In frequent con
ference with his client and Rhea undoubt
edly knows that an attempt to secure an
Injunction may be made, but he is never
theless making his final preparations. He
haa written quite a number of letters to his
father, brother- and friends.' The con
demned man, although he never had the
advantage of a school training, Is a rather
' prollflo writer and composes lengthy and
thoughtful letters. They are couched In
good language and the writing is neat and
refined. The letter would hardly be taken
for that of a deaperate criminal These last
letters are all duly forwarded by the war
den. Hhea haa but a few peraonal be
longings In his tiny cell and these will be
distributed among his friends. He has al
ready bidden farewell to several of those
action of the governor would be equivalent
to an unconditional pardon, since when the
time limited In the reprlove had expired
the condemned man could not again be
sentenced by another court and conse
quently could not be detained. Under the
constitution and the statutes tffe governor,
Mr. Prout maintains, ha the right to
grant a reprieve and fix the date of the
hanging when doing so. The statute pro
vides that he shall have the power to grant
a reprieve when the term thereof are ac
cepted by the condemned man in the pres
ence of two witnesses. Attorney Oeneral
Prout states that several reprieves have
been granted and have never been attacked.
He admits, however, that the question of
the right of a governor to usurp &he power
of a court to fix a date for execution haa
never been adjudicated. He manifested a
great deal of Interest In the matter.
Whisky laved Hie Life.
Colonel Wilson, a veteran railroad man,
attempted suicide yesterday in this city by
the carbo'.lc acid route, but he supple
mented the dose with frequent draughts of
whisky and unwittingly defeated his plan
to die. Whisky is an antidote for carbolic
acid and, while he swallowed an amount
of poison sufficient to kill several mortals,
his attempt at self-destruction brought him
only extreme bodily pain. Wilson had
grown despondent over his having been
crippled In a railroad accident, and family
troubles added to his woes. Yesterday
morning he learned that Mrs. Wilson had
been seen in the company of a barber named
Paul. She failed to return home, last night
and Wilson took it for granted that Paul
had supplanted him In the woman's affec
tions.
When a doctor arrived after the attempt
at suicide was discovered Wilson fought
desperately against any effort being made
to snaicn mm away irom death. A mo
ment later the doctor detected that Wilson
had swallowed the whisky and he blandly
Informed the patient that he had taken his
own anuaoie. ay ttus time Wilson was
suffering Intense pain and he welcomed the
information that he would get welt, de

altogether too severe.

it appear that no mention haa been
made of the proposed visit by members of
the family because the plans were not ma
tured and it waa not desired that the pub
lic should be advised of it until arrange
ments had been completed. But the Infor
mation la out and Mrs. Bryan haa reluct
antly admitted that lria correct. At least
it Is admitted that her distinguished hus
band and their daughter are to go abroad
early In September and that they would
probably not return until about December,
or possibly until after the first of the new
year. .
Mrs. Bryan will be unable to acoompany
them, because of the condition of her
father's health, which requires her con
stant care of him. The scope of the pro
posed visit haa not been fixed by those
who have professed to know the secret,
nor Its purpose, except that It is suggested
that Mr. Bryan la going abroad to atudy
sociological ana otner conaitiona among
the nations of Europe. Attention Is directed
to the fact that Mr. Bryan contemplated
a foreign tour on a former occasion for
such study, whtch he was compelled to
forego by the Interference of events which
seemed to htm to demand his presence
here at home.
Mr. Bryan is absent from the city and
could not be sounded aa to hla full Inten
tions In making the trip.
Filipino Lad Severely Scalded.
Stephen Abun, a Filipino youth who came
across from his native land with the First
Nebraska regiment and has rlnce made his
home In Lincoln, was severely Injured at
S o'clock this morning at his place of em
ployment In the Lindetl hotel engine room.
A trap filled with hot grease, the hotel
kitchen being Its source, served aa a pit
fall, his legs from the knees down bens
scalded so severely that the, flesh pee.ed
off. His comrades pulled him out. other
wise his accident might have had a very
grave result, for he was unable to extri
cate himself. The youth's screams were
heard three blocks distant. He was re
moved to the city hospital and given med
ical attention, the physlciana announcing
that It may be several weeks before he can
be discharged.
Annual Epworth Assembly.
An elaborate souvenir program haa been
issued by Superintendent L. O. Jones of
the Epworth assembly, which begins at
Epworth park, near Lincoln, on August 5
and continues eight days.' One of the chief
attractions will be the appearance of Lieu
tenant Hobson, hero of the. Merrlmac epi
sode at Santiago, who will deliver a series
of lectures on the American navy. Other
attractions are on the program and Super
intendent Jones predicts one of the most
successful assemblies ever held by the stats
organisation.

Late this evening Attorney Doyle said
that he had been in consultation during
the afternoon with Mayor Adams and
Judge Hamer. and that they had deter
mined to apply for a writ tomorrow to
prevent the execution, which is set for 12
o'clock. He said that Judge Sullivan had
been communicated with and will be In
Lincoln tomorrow early. The proceedings
will partake of both the form of habeas
corpus and Injunction, and will be based
upon the alleged lack of Judicial power In

America Will Take No Action in Fnr
Eaet t'ntll theiilshlnefl Matter
Una Been Finally Dis
posed Of.
WASHINGTON, July .-The commis
sioners of the District of Columbia took
action concerning the proposed exchange
of places between Auditor Petty and Alex
ander McKensle, a member of the Board of
Personal Tax Appraisers. It having bejn
discovered that McKensle while deputy
auditor approved vouchers for the pay
ment of large amounts of money to the
Washington Asphalt Block and Tile com
pany, of which he waa secretary, the com
missioners concluded not to appoint him
auditor.
Mr. McKensle was given the alternative
of severing his connection with the com
pany or resigning from the district serv
ice. He chose the former course and soon
announced that he had disposed of his en
tire holdings. Mr. McKensle while deputy
auditor transacted the business of his com
pany and of the district on the same desk
used by him In the district government
building. Unless some official can be
found who will exchange places with Mr.
Petty he will be requested to resign.
Watson IMeads Limitations.
J. M. A. Watson's pleas to the civil suit
filed against him by the District of Colum
bia to recover 110,183, which he is alleged
to have embesxled while a clerk In the
office of the district auditor, were filed to
day In the district supreme court. Watson
pleads the statute of limitations and denies
the right of the district commissioners to
make him .disclose Information in civil pro
ceedings that might be used against him
criminally.
Manchnrlaa Matters Walt.
The president has decided that the Jew
ish petition must finally be msposea or
before any further effort Is made to set
tle the Issues rising out of the Man-
cliurtan situation. Therefore nothing is
likely to be done In regard to Manchuria
until September, by which time, according
to the last Russian engagement, the evac
uation of Manchuria by Russian troops,
save railroad guards, should be complete.
It 1 understood the Russian government
has set up as one reason for not sanction
ing the opening of new ports In Manchuria
the necessity of allowing It first to com
plete the evacuation.
Ready to Forward Petition.
Secretary Hay today communicated to
the Jewish leaders the president's desire
that they should call at Oyster Bay next
Tuesday to consult respecting the dlspo
sltlon to be made of the Jewish petition to
Russia. The secretary took occasion to
emphasize the president's desire that there
should be no further delay in the sub.
mission of the petition; that It will be
ready next week. '
It Is probable the course to be pursued
will consist In the dispatch of cablegram
to Mr. Riddle, United States charge at
St. Petersburg, directing him to inquire
of the Russian government whether it is
willing to receive a petition, the nature
of which will be briefly outlined by Mr,
Riddle, and further proceedings will be
governed by the Russian answer.
The president Is belnaTtlelnged with singly
signed petitions In behSlf of the Russian
Jews and these are forwarded from Oyster
Bay to the State ' department by every
mail. The petitions are identical and aa
they are directed to the president alone,
no question of transmission to Russia Is
Involved and they are being filed at the
Stat department.
Indiana Are Protected.
The secretary of the ' Interior today ap
proved a new code of regulatlona for the
sale of surplus land owned by Indians.
The new rules require that when an In
dlan desire to sell lands, the sa'.e of which
I permitted by law, the fact shall be
advertised and the lands appraised by
government official. Sealed bids with cer
titled checks enclosed are to be invited
and the land sold to the highest bidder,
provided hi bid doe not fall below the
appraisal. The rules apply now only to
the Creek Indian In Indian Territory and
owe their origin to the fact that many
of those Indians have been persuaded to
part with valuable property for an en
tirely Inadequate consideration.
