PETER is HOPEFUL.

Governor Flower willing That Electro
cuted Men Should BE Resuscitated-
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 12.-Governor
Flower is willing to allow experts to
make a test to ascertain whether a
man killed in the electrical chair can
be resuscitated. Ever since the adoD-
ton Of the electrical execution act bv
the state. the Westinghouse people,
whose dynamos are used, have de-
clared that electricity was the cause Of
death, but that death was assured by
the holding Of an autopsy directly
after body had been taken from the
electrical chair. No less an authority
than Nicola Tesla, the famous cleo
triciau, contended that he could bring
back to life a man killed in an cleo
trical chair, provided the ATTEMPT
was made Immediately after exc
cutiOn. Mr. George Westinghouse
has always asserted that electrical
death was sham, and that a New
York commission headed by Eldridge
T. Gerry had added the autopsy clause
to the law so as to make it certain
that the man was dead. Within the
last few weeks the agitation OF the
subject has become common and an
appeal is to be made to the governor
to allow the next man condemned to
be used as a subject to be expert
mented upon. The governor saws he
will grant pc EMISSION to do this. The
attempt, if made, will und oubtedly
create great excite ment and intense
interest in this scientific world. 1t
viii also arouse curiosity among lay
men because if successful it will
bring to life a new man who cannot
be executed, having once suffered the
penalty of death. It will also prove
that the state executioners have been
the surgeons who have held the au-
topsy. rather than the state electri-

MIR. JONES ANNUAL REPORT.
The First Assistant Postmaster General
Makes Observation-Disclosures.

Makes Recomnle nd atiOns.
WAsHINeroS, Nov. 1z.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Frank Jones
has su omitted his annual report to
the postmaster general It is a re-
view of the work of the de pattment
under his charge for the year ending
June 80. 1924, and contains his recon-
mendations for the Improvement Of
the service
Mr. Jones recommends legislation
to protect the post mlrking stamp IN
use at postoffiees as the stamp is now
being used for unlawful purposes.
He revie VS. his recon endation for
legislation to prevent the boycotting
of postmasters By mailing letters at
places other than the Office, which re-
suits in reducing the salaries of the
postmaster boycotted. He calls
especial attention to the misuse Of
the ranking privilege be says:
There seems to be some misa ppre-
hension among members of congress
as to the scope Of the ranking privil-
eye which has resulted in some post
masters declining to send speeches or
other matter presented for mailing
and this de PARTNER has been Gale
upon to give special instructions IN
such cases
Instead of the name being written
or placed on the envelopes by the
hand stamp. it has been in some in
stances improperly printed thereon;
the speeches therein contained have
borne the advertisement of the
printer which formed no part Of the
Congressional Record, and there fore
are subject to postage as third class
matter. In addition to this some Of
the packages sent by mail under the
frank of the member have been found
after delivery to contain printed mat
ter outside Of the Congressional Rec
ord and public docume nts and are
therefore not frankable under the
laws above quoted
The report gives the details of the
different divisions Of the first as
sistant's Office It is shown by the
salary and allowance division that
there are 149 frst-class Offices. 400

TO BRING LIFE BACK.
What the POpuIists Lost Ia Con gressmen
They Made Up In Votes.

What the POPulists Lost IA Con gressmen
They Made Up In Votes
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
PETER has arrived from Kansas DIS
cussing the result of the recent cleo
ton he said the Popullsts had no
reason to feel discouraged.
''What we have lost in congress-
men," he said, I'VE have more than
made up in votes. The reports gen
orally published would lead people
to suppose that we had suffered a
material loss in all respects in Kan
sas. Such is not the case. In 1890
we had about lOJ, 600 votes in that
state; IN 1892 about l13, 600 and in the
late election. from 12o, 600 to 20. 600,
in the face of the fact that bout 90
900 of our voters had left the state
on account of the drouth. We
failed IN the election of officers be-
cause we were not paired with the
Democrats, but we have every reason
to feel encouraged for the future. In
the country at large l feel onfident
that when the returns are footed up
they will show our total vote to be
little less tnan ? 600. O0O, which is
about twice the Populist vote of two
years ago"
The senator declined to discuss the
question of the prOba BILE organ "a
tion of the senate after the 4th of
March by the Repu bicans with the
AID OF such POpullsts like himself as
had affiliated with the Repu ulican
party before they became POpulists.
further than to say the time was too
far distant to speculate upon, and in
a genera way 70 remark that if the
time should come when the Populists
should hold the balance of power in
the senate, he had no doubt s.they
would exercise the power continu-
Ously and wisely"
Senator Stewart Of Nevada was less
guarded than Senator PETER in speak
ing of the assumption that certain Of
tn Populist senators would aid the
Repu bl cans IN the organization of
the senate. He says empha ticaIly
that. so far as he is concerned, he
will not enter into coalition with
either of the old parties to secure the
organization.
