males for expenses sum up S}40. 900.

at $3{5 900 600,
THIS changes the whole aspect of

Reading the Message.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Sat 1910
O'Clock to-day President Cleveland's
message was laid before the Senate
and the reading Oft was begun. The
close attention paid to the message
from beginning to end Ivy the Senate
was remarked, On both sides Of the
chamber the Senators carefully noted
every utterance Of the executive.
When the Presidents very positive
declarations upon the silver question
were reached the sentiments ofmany
Senators on that question could be
determined by their expressions OF
countenance respectively. Its quite
likely that legislation on this subject
will be proposed in the Senate at
once. and it will certainly provoke a
long debate, for the advocates of sill
yer coinage are evidently no less de-
termined than its enemies.

Recon- msntfed Ia Mercy

The Jury which convicted Samuel
Crawford Of the murder OF Everett
Hood recommended him to the mercy
OF the Court. This recommendation
was doubtless made under the i'm
preston that a less sentence than
death would be imposed. The Judge,
however, as bound to do, imposed the
death penalty. Ira Is. Jones, ESQ,
the attorney fer the prisoner intends
applying to the Governor for a COM
mutation Of sentence and to this end
has petition signed by all the mem m.
bers OF the Jury, the members Of the
bar, the county officials and a large
number of the beat and most thought
ful citizens OF this county. 1t is the
fixed belief Of the best portion of our
community that Crawford should not
be hanged, and executive clemency in
this case is generally expected and
would meet general appreciation.
