Ex-senator Paul Reaches His Home.

Mt. VERNON, July A. Ex-senator
Paul, whose mysterious disappearance
from Toledo was noted some six weeks
ago, arrived at his Centerburg home,
Monday morning accompanied by
Mrs. Paul and her attorney, Frank
Moore. He was found at hotel at
Kansas City, Kan, where he had been
quietly living. He claims to have been
suffering from temporary alteration
of the mind, during which he wan
dered away, and after coming to his
senses was too greatly mortified to
make his whereabouts known. The
reunion of husband and wife is said to
be mutually agreeable and sets at rest

Ynn Loon Must Hang.


CoI.uMBus, July 5.-The state board
of pardons met Monday in special ses-
sion to consider the case of Frank Van
Loon. the Columbus Grove bandit, sem
fenced to be hanged next Friday morn
ing.
The arguments continued until late
in the afternoon, Prosecutor Prayer
making statement of some length, in
which he called especial attention to
the confession made by Van Loon just
after conviction and while still in the
Putnam county Jail. He stated that
there was no doubt whatever of Van
Loon having admitted his guilt to
Sheriff Freese, and stated in that con-
nection that he was not guilty of muir
der in the first degree, as the killing of
Farmer Vandemarll was not premedi-
tated At 5 o'clock the board of par
dons went into executive session for
final deliberation as to the fate of the
prisoner. 1t was after 10 o'clock Mon
day night when the doors were thrown
open and the decision submitted to the
governor. The board decides that Van
Loon must hang. The following is the
report submitted to the executive de-
partment:
This case having been passed upon
by the full board we do find and rec
ommend that the application be re-
jected for the following reasons, to-wit:
First-Because we have no doubt of
the prisoners identity and guilt.
Second-Because there is no doubt
that the crime was murder in the first
degree and, further, that there are no
mitigating circumstances warranting
executive interference.
The execution will take place be-
tween the hours of II and o'clock
next Friday morning, and the most
dramatic scene within the history of
the annex is expected. Van Loon is a
giant physically and the penitentiary
officials fear that ne will give them
trouble when the time comes to so to

of ten months has prevailed. Jewell

A TERRIBLE BlUNDER.
Survivors of the Victoria Disaster Say Ad-
miral Tryon Realized His Mistake When
Too Late and Didn't Care to Live.

miral Tryon Realized His Mistake When
Too Late and Didn't Care to Live.
LONDON. July ALL the newspapers
here publish long editorials on the sub
ject of the Victoria disaster, and all of
them warn the public to suspend judg-
men* on the matter until the result of
the Aourt-martial to be held in the case
shall have been known. The newspa-
pets admit that Vice Admiral Tryon
blundered in giving the order he did
for the maneuver that led to the acci-
dent and state that he further blum
dered when he signalled to the vessels
of the squadron not to lower their
boats which they We're upon the point
of doing for the purpose of going to
the rescue of those on the Victoria
Some of the survivors hint that Vice
Admiral Tryon realized his blunder
when too late and did not afterward
care to live.
Amid the general blame of the vice
admiral many comments are made upon
the conduct of other officers in obeying
an order that was certain to result in
collision between the ships. A rule in
force in the navy provides that sub
ordinate is not bound to obey an order
from a superior officer if the execution
of the order is certain to involve an ac-
cident. With this rule in view, some of
the papers very severely comment upon
the action of Rear Admiral Markham,
who in his own dispatches shows that
he was fully aware of the danger at
tendant upon the maneuver ordered
from tha Hn crah hi,, A < m "a nf fact
however, the responsibility for the dis
aster cannot be placed until court
martial hears the evidence in the case
and renders its decision.
The fund being raised by Lord Mayor
Stuart Knill for the benefit of the fami-
lies of those who lost their lives through
the laundering of the Victoria now
amounts to S150,OO0.

DAYTON, July 4.-The disclosures re-
sulting from Coroner Hahne's investi-
cation OF the murder of George Smith
at the Dayton asylum are startling.
The talk of the more rational inmates
has led to inquiries which show that
at least two others We're beaten,
kicked and pounded to death, and in all
these cases the ribs of the victims were
stove in. Autopsies over the bodies of
Smith end Michael Knecht showed sew
eral of their ribs to be fractured. Sum
day the body of George Morris, u But
was exhumed and an autopsy held.
Seven of his ribs were fractured.

Negro Murderer Shot.

FORT SMITH, Ark, July Joe Bird,
a negro, was shot at Wilburton, j. T.,
at II o'clock Friday by the. Choctaw
authorities. When all was ready for
the final scene the execution
ers placed him in position. A
circle about three inches in di-
amcter was painted in white i'm
mediately over his heart. The sheriff
with rifle stood Is PAGES away. He
took an unerring aim and as he fired
the negro murderer fell backwards
dead The Choctaws holding arms
gave utterance to "a most unearthly yell
and the tragic scene was over. Birds
crime was the brutal murder OF his wife.
