FOUR TO DIE BY WIRE.
No Hope for Jugiro, Woods,
Slocum and Smiler.
TOO FREE USE OF HABEAs CORPUS.

According to the United States supreme
Court That Mistake has Been Made by
New York Attorneys-The Sentence of
the Convicted Murderers Ordered.
WASHINGTON. May 12-The supreme
court has rendered an opinion In each Of
the Jugro, Woods Sloeum and Smiler
electrocutlon cases, denying the prisoners
contention in each instance and affirming
the position taken by the people, In
Woods ease writ Of habeas corpus was
asked for because the negroes were ex-
cluded from the juries which indicted and
convicted him. The court holds that there
is nothing In the law of the state Of New
York excluding citizens OF the African
race from juries and that II he believed
negroes had, as matter Of fact, been ex-
cluded because OF their race, the question
should have been raised in the trial court
and cannot be brought up now.
Too Free a Use Of the Writ.
The court, in two opinions by Justice
Harlan, intimates quite plainly that there
has been too free use made Of the writ OF
habeas corpus by the New York circuit
court, and states that where there Is no con
dict between the state law and the federal
jurisprudence the highest state tribunal
should determine the points raised, and
any appeal should be made direct from the
state court to the United States supreme
court by writ of error IL was notdntended
by congress that the United States courts
should be writs OF habeas corpus obstruct
the ordinary administration Of the criminal
laws of the state through their own tribu-
mails.
The Case Of Jugiro.
In the Jugiro case the main points raised
were that after his conviction in suhse-
quent proceedings be had been assigned
counsel who had not been admitted TO the
bar, that he had been resentenoed before
the courts mandate had gone down and
that there were no Japanese iurymen.
The court says these were matters occur
ring in the course of the trial in court Of
competent jurisdiction proceeding under
statutes not in conflict with the federal
constitution, The errors. II any, II holds,
cannot be reached by writ OF habeas
| corpus.
Against smiler and siocum.
The Slocum and Smiler cases are identi-
cal in character Each came up on ap.
peal from an order Of the United States
circuit court for the southern district Of
New York denying writs Of habeas corpus
| The contention Of their attorney was that
the counsel assigned TO the appellants and
recognized by the court-John r. Heintz
leman-was not an attorney or counselor
at law entitled "a practice ia the courts D.
the state; that he was therefore. incom
petent properly TO protect the rights q
his clients, and that the appellants wer,
thus deprived Of their privileges as guar
anteed By the constitution.

now in hot pursuit Of the Chilian trans
port Itata, which left San Diego last
Wednesday while in the possession Of
deputy Of the United States marshal The
Itata after leaving San Diego took on

munition which had been shipped from
San Francisco on the schooner Robert and
Minnie. The transfer OF the lati A. cargo
Is believed to have occurred OF San Glenn

The Chilian cruiser Esmeralda is be-
lieved TO be lying OF Cape san Lucas,
which is the southernmost point Of land
in Lower California, awaiting the supplies
carried by the Itata The sen run to that
point is about 100 miles. The Itata being
heavily loaded and although reputed as a
fast craft, 1t is estimated that she cannot
exceed six or eight knots an hour and the
Charleston will probably overtake her or
reach San Lucas in advance Of the trans
port
A Fight One Of the Possibilities.

proceed direct TO Acapulco, which WI be
the first port at which any further intelli-
genee can be received Even though the
cruiser Esmeralda is met as the convoy OF

Charleston are explicit on the point Of cap
ture, and il is believed certain that there
will be fight or capture or both.

THE CALENDAR CROP SHORT.
Business Men Find a Scarcity of the Very
Desirable Tables.

Business Men Find a Scarcity of the Very
Desirable Tables.
New York Evening Telegram
:. Business men generally have noted with
much surprise that this winter dhere is an
absence of the usual flood OF calendars for
the coming year. with which formerly they
were deIuged in such quantities that it be-
came really a nuisance. Insurance COM
panies, steam, steamship companies and
other corporations and large wholesale
manufacturers used to vie with one another
in the effort to produce the costiliest and
most attractive calendars. Some of these
were really works of art and must have been
considerable item of expense. A trip
among the steamship and insurance Offices
which formerly were most prominent in the
distribution Of calendars brought out IL e
fact that the opinion is general that the
thing has been overdone and that the benefit
derived is not commensurate with the cost.
The manager of a well-known firm of
steamship agents said on that point: "There
was time when we distributed thousands
of handsomely printed calendars and found
that they were an excellent advertising me-
dium. OF late years, however, every small
storekeeper seems to have adopted that
method of advertising his wares. and the
city has been swa,nped with calendars of all
sizes, colors and quality. This will explain
the falling off in the issuance of calendars.
1t was>a great nuisance to US, because for a
month before and after the first of the year
we e-werc much annoyed by applications for
calendars"
The calendars so far issued this season are
principally froml printers, stationers and
others directly interested in the manufacture
of them.
