TO WORK FOR BECK.
Ills Case viii BE Laid Before Board OF
Pardons.

Ills Case VIII BE Laid Before Board OF
Pardons.
Civil Engineer Edmund Bartl is a
firm believer in the innocence Of the
condemned murderer, Frank Beck
and as such will befriend him to the
end, and intends to do all in his power
to save him from the gallows. Mr.
Bartl says that Bezek's execution will
be nothing short of judicial murder
He does not gainsay the fact that 1t was
at Bezel's hands Mary Kerzic met hei
death, but he maintains that 1t was not
premeditated that Beck was about to
shoot himself when the girl got in the
way and received the bullet that he
meant for self-dcstruction.
Mr.. Bartl was asked yesterday what
will be done by Bezek's friends to save
him. and he replied that few days will
elapse before anything definite can be
given out about it. Mr. Bartl stated
that 1t has already cost him 1895. but he
Is willing to make another sacrifice tC
present Bezek's case before the board
Of pardons, or in an appeal for eXecu-
tive clemency.
The murderer has not been told yet
that the supreme court decided against
him, but he is becoming uneasy. Last
night he wrote letter to Mr.. Bartl
which the Jail authorities will mail this
morning. He Is seeking information
and appears to want to know just eX-
actly, what his' chances are. Since the
murder and throughout the trial and
during his incaceration he has been
very cool and devoid of worrlment
But he has been buoyed up with the be-
lief that there Is hope for him.
1t remains to be seen what effect Mr.
Bartrs cherries news will have upon
him

gage was later assigned to Oakley, and
when Steere was squaring up the ac-
count he allowed Oakley to figure the
interest, and he alleges that Oakley
figured the interest in such way that
he had to pay almost 5000 too much.
He brought suit to recover the
amount he claims he overpaid. and
when Judge Archibald, before whom It
was tried, was giving the case to the
jury he directed them to bring in a
special verdict. and gave them certain
questions to answer.
The jury was required to find from
the evidence IL Oolley had been over
paid, If so how much? Did the parties
go over the accounts together? In SUBJ
stance, the verdict was that the plain
tiff appears to have been unable to
calculate interest. which ignorance was
taken advantage of by the defendant.

PEACE AGAIN DISRUPTED.
Another Outbreak Between Cnrbondalc
Strcct Car COInnnnY and EmnlOYcS.

Another Outbreak Between Carbondalc
Street Car Company and Employees.
Inquiry at Carbondale yesterday
elected the fact that the threatened
outbreak between the employees and
the CarbQndale Traction company has
been averted by an amicable solution
of the difficulty. When the men re-
turned to work after the recent strike,
concessions were made on both sides.
Two of the men We're not taken back
and four others refused to go back on
the conditions of the settlements
The two who We're not taken back
were supposed to await hearing. af-
ter which the company reserved the
right to take them back or not, just Is
things DEVELOPED. However, the two
have since been put to work, as well as
three of the four who first refused to
resume. One, General Manager Aitken
at the outset positively refused to take
back. and that was the cause of the re-
ported probability of second strike. A
conference was held Saturday night
and the management in order to avoid
further trouble decided to take the en-
ploye back on probation. 1t is probable
that the line will operate without any
future ado.

VACANT LOT CULTIVATION.
Plan Will Not DC Put Into Operation
Cnti! Next Year

Plan Will Not DC Put Into Operation
Until Next Year.
The Associated Charities will aban.
don its intention of putting in opera
tion this year the New York plan OF
"Cultivation of vacant lots by the un.
employed" This action will probably
be taken at the next meeting of the
board.
Quite a large number Of proffers OF
vacant lots were made, and several
substantial cash contributions were
made, but it Is believed that the sea-
son is too far advanced to operate the
plan successfully. It is also believed
that similar work next year might
have been unfavorably affected by only
medium success during this season.
1t is probable that the vacant lot
offers will be supplanted by cash In
many instances, and that the contri-
buttons especially for this work will be
given for general uses.
