The Detectives Expect Assistance From Raii.
road Conductors

DENVER, June 11.--Each conductor
of every railroad running through Col
orado has been authorized to arrest
Francis Hermans the Salt Lake City
murderer HermanS was granted 4
clerical permit numbered 1886. signed
by Chairman Caldwell OF the Western
Passenger association. After his fight.
detectives were put upon histrack who,
after being baffied at every turn, final
ly traced him eastward. toward tIiia
state, through a conductor, who honorel
his permit when presented. The au-
thorities asked the railroads for help.
and in response kilograms reached the
general passenger agents of every mem
Der of the Western Passenger associa-
ton authorizing them to capture the
owner of the clerical permit. If Her
mans should board Colorado line train
he would be captured. Rumors are cur.
rent that he is hiding in Denver, al
though the police have not ascertaincJ
the fact.

There was so much abusive language
used in the presentat ton of this case, as
there had been in others presented from
Mississippi, that Mr.. Hansen of Georgia
suggested that In the future it should not
be permitted On motion of Mr.. Fessen-
den the chair was authorized to call
speakers to order when they should be-
come unruly In this respect.
From the Fifth Mississippi district II.
A. Simmons and A. j. Hyde were de-
clared to be entitled to seats. They were
the contestants and werejepresentatives
of the Lynch faction. 1t was the first
loss sustained by Mr.. Hill during the day.
Simmons and Hyde are friendly to Nc
Kinley. as also the contestants Smith
and Garrett. The committee then at
midnight adjourned.
The Republican national committee
made such poor progress today that the
members of the committee are beginning
to feel that there is danger of very great
prolongation of this work. The commit
tee, after sitting for twelve hours, have
decided contests effecting thirty seats
in the convention. These included the
four delegates at large from each of the
states of Mississippi and Florida and
scattering delegates from the districts Of
California, Alabama, Kentucky, Florida,
Mississippi and Missouri All the dele
gates seated except two from Florida are
Mckinley men.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE national Re
publican committee decided tonight to
proceed to the selection of temporary
officers of the national convention, in
Guiding chairman, at 2 o'clock on Satur-
day.
The motion mas made by Mr. Payne of
Wisconsin, who first named 10 o'clock
tomorrow as the hour. Ex-senator
Carey of Wyoming objected to this
time, on the ground that there had been
no opportunity afforded the committee
to canvass the question and that there
was no occasion for haste.
1t has been practically decided by a
majority of the committee that Hon.
Charles w. Fairbanks shall be given the
place of temporary chairman and a tele
gram has been sent notifying him of the
proba bility of his election 1t has also
been suggested to Fairbanks that he
deal almost exclusively with the finan-
cial question in his opening speech. 1t
is understood he will acquiesce in this
suggestion and that he will take a
strong position for an unequivocal de-
claration for the preservation of the
present financial standard. There is a
strong probability that Senator Thurs
ton will be permanent chairman.

He PLEADS GUILTY.
THE FAMOUS GREENE EMBEZZLE-
MENT CASE SETTLED.
After n Long Fight Eau CIafre's Elk
City Treasurer Pleads Guilty and
His Lawyer Pleads for CIemency
Judge Fisk Sentences Greene to
Nearly Four Years in the WaupuD
Penitentiary.

Eau Claire, Wis, March u. - The
case of the state against Charles III.
Greene, ex-city treasurer of Eau
Claire. charged with embeZZling $40
900 of city funds, had been announced
in the newspapers to come up to-day
before Judge Fish of Racine. who had
been called to Eau Claire to sit in the
case in place of Judge Bailey. Very
few knew that the proceedings would
take place at O'clock yesterday af-
ternoOn, at which hour Greene came
into court, accompanied by his attor-
ney, William III. Frawley. There were
only about twenty-five spectators, in
Guiding members Of the bar and other
prominent citizens. District ATTORNEY
Farr read the information, while Mr..
Greene, very calmly, with his hands
behind his back, in reply to the usual
question, pleaded guilty
When asked by Judge Fish what he
had to say why sentence should not
be pronounced, Greene said that he
was sorry for his wife and child and
parents and friends. Mr.. Frawley then
addressed the court, pleading for leni-
ency and for the minimum sentence,
because Greene had never intended
that the city should lose anything, and
had not boarded up a cent of the
money, but had lost it all in specula
ton. He was previously of high
standing and reputation, and haG a
wife and child, aged parents and many
friends. Mr.. FraWley also said his
client had struggled along hoping this
calamity might be averted by a salts
factory settlement with the city, but
it seemed impossible to agree on the
amount involved. Frederick A. Teal,
Il leading member of the bar, by re-
quest then addressed the court on be-
half of Greene, urging leniency on ac-
count of Greene's previous high char
acter. William p Bartlett, counsel
for Greene's bondsmen, by request Of
Mr.. FraWley. briefly addressed the
court, but said, in substance, that he
believed it the duty of the court to
impose such a sentence as would re-
suit in accomplishing reformation,
which was one of the objects of the
law. Judge Fish then asked the priS-
oner to rise. After speaking of the
unpleaSantnesS of the duty and the
suffering imposed upon the prisoners
family and friends, of the letters he
Judge Fish had received expressing
sympathy with the judge of this cir
cult and others and his own feeling
that the lighteSt sentence was not con-
sistent with duty, he sentenced Greene
to three years and nine months IN
the penitentiary. None of the prison
er's family were in court. Greene re-
NAMED at his house last night and will
be taken to Waupun to-day. Greene
lost the money in busket shops.
