Triple Event mt Chicago Which Was
Made u Single Execution.

Chicago. May 15.-Today. the first time
since the execution of the Haymarket
anarchists, double hanging was to take
place in the Cook county jail. The con-
demned men were Alfred c. Fields,
negro. and Joseph Mandreth, German.
1t was to have been a triple hanging. but
Governor Altgeld yesterday gave a re-
spite to Me Marsden, convicted of the
murder of Fritz Hozhuetter, butcher.
Fields slept soundy. His companion did
not get any sleep until long after mid
night. When his wife left the Jail he
cried Historically nearly an hour. Faith
ers Dore and Finn prayed with him.
Fields, the negro. was executed at 1927.
Fields smiled on the scaffold said Good

was strangled TO death, his neck not be-
ing broken. According to his confession,
on the night of February 20 last he had
a quarrel with Mrs. Ella Randolph, wife

fession, while Mandreth maintained his

THE A. T.. A. REMOVES THE BAN
No Longer BlackIists Mayor McI<in-
ley of Ohio.

Washington, May 16.-Today's session OF
preme council was the most interesting OF
the convention, because the action of the
executive committee of the advisory board
blacklisting Major Mckinley as a presi-
Dental candidate was to be reviewed
The report of the advisory board upon
the council later in the session. 1t was
technically an Endorsement of the execu-
tive committee. 1t asserted in substance
that the executive committee warranted
in view of the evidence presented, the
placing of the ban upon Mckinley but in
ton of this testimony by a full board has
convinced the members that the witness
es were unreliable and their statements
not correct, therefore the board concludes
that Mckinley should be placed upon the
same footing, as far as members of the
A. P. A. are concerned, with other candi-
dates for presidential nominations, and

by Delegate Huddleson, of California who

While some parts of the document were
erased by a special committee the body
of 1t gives more authentic information
upon the purposes of the order than has
ever before been made public upon au-
thority. President 1raynor deals at great
length with the present phases of the A.
=. A. He says
1.-The American Protective Association
Is today a recognized factor in American
politics, whose favor Is openly courted by
political leaders. organizers and postu-
lants for public office. who year ago ig-
nored, treated with contempt and de-
nounced it.
The A. +. A Is a standing menace to
the perpetuity of every party. being com
posed, as it is, of the members of every
party. SO long as 1t remains unmoved by
threats. unyieding to the pressure of
party machines, 1t will be hated by and re-
spected by every party which dares not
incorporate the platform of the order in
it's own The great majority of our order
have waited patiently during the last
year for some sign from one or the other
of the political parties that 1t has received
a change of heart which 1t Is honest
enough to publicly express. There are a
few republicans, such as Linton of Iowa,
Gear of Iowa, Bradley of Kentucky and
Stone of Missouri who have been fearless
in their Endorsement of our purpose, and
republicans 1t is more than unfortunate
that they are not either the republican
party or the representatives of that body,
and the question should be asked and
answered here and now, that while the
A. p. A. isms of these men are tolerated
by the party for the A. z. A. votes which
each of them carries behind him, what
assurance have we that this liberation
Will not cease the moment the votes have
been delivered?"
Referring to the advisory board, which
created a sensation by its attack on Nc
Kinley, he says: "A source of prospective
danger Is the national advisory BOARD as
1t Is at present constructed In its polit-
zeal form 1t is in danger at any time of
coming into collision with the supreme ex-
ecutive board. which Is the supreme
council out of session and undoubtedly the
superior of all other boards. At present
it recognizes no superior but the supreme
council in session, and may pursue one
policy while the supreme president and his
cabinet pursue one entirely opposite to it"
and suggests that the powers of the
board be specifically named
He recommends that no candidate for
national political Office should receive
the Endorsement of the board until all
state councils have passed upon him;
that no notifications of a political nature
from state or supreme council be manda-
tory, but merely advisory.

Judge IL. G. Struve, representing the bond

senator Wilson Asks that CoIvilIe
Reservation be IA Highway.

Washington. May 15.-There have been
great many applications for permission
TO so up on the nUrtn nalf of the Colville
reservation as traders and Senator Wilson
has been endeavoring to induce the com
missioner of Indian affairs to grant all
such permits that may be applied for, on
the grounds that this is no longer an In
dian reservation, but has practically been
declared open, and only awaits the carry
ing out of certain provisions Of law, al
ready enacted, to make 1t so. This view
of the case is not taken by the commits
sioner of Indlan affairs as yet, although
he has promised to give the matter care.
ful consideration. He holds that the APP
plicants for tradershps are not DESTROYS
of trading with the Indians, as it Is a
well known fact that there are no Indians
in that section, but that they wish to take
in provisions and merchandise for sale 10
white men who have gone upon this por-
ton OF the reservation to work mining
claims and to prospect. Senator Wilson
argues that as there are no Indians up
there and as the mineral land laws have
already been extended to this portion of
the reservation, allowing prospectors and
miners TO work thereon, there can be no
justice in keeping out these men who wish
to supply them with provisions and goods.

WHY MIR. FORD WAS APPOINTED
story Leaks Out From the POstOf-
flee Department.

Washington. May ia little story has
just leaked out relative to the appoint
ment of George w. Ford over A. b. Baker
as postmaster at Pullman, Wash. The
Ford and Baker fight for the appoint
ment was bitter one and was pending
long time. but was finally settled very
quickly. 1t is now said that one of the
good republican citizens of Pullman wrote
to one of Washingtons senators a lengthy
letter. urging him to work for the ap-
pointment of Baker, which letter, as IS
his custom. he filed with the postmaster
general without comment. He had not
read the letter closely or he might not
have done this, but the argus-eyed post
master general discovered a little SEN
tence way down at the bottom of the
letter which stated that the appointment
of Baker would be one of the best thing
that could happen for the republican par
ty in Pullman. Now, this is just wha
Postmaster General Wilson did not car.
to bring about, and no sooner had he read
this letter than he called for the papers
in the case and sent the name of Mr.. For
to the president. The appointment fol
lowed Immediately.

TWO AGED BISHOPS RELIEVED
Methodist Conference Decided That
Younger Men Were Needed.

Cleveland. May 14.-Today's session of
the Methodist Episcopal conference was
marked by the largest attendance of the
session. When the committee on tenn
poral economy was called Secretary Mon
zoe asked for suspension of the rules
whereby the resolution which contem
plated change in discipline could be
acted upon without being in possession o.
he conference for one day and without
being printed in the Daily Advocate. The
report of the committee on missions to
Increase the contingent fund from $4,000
o $4,000 was adopted. The committee
also recommended the Hing Hua mission
China 1t was adopted.
The report OF the committee on educa-
ion, which excuses students from taking
irst examinations in branches in which
hey have passed satisfactory eNamina-
ions in some Methodist school was adopt
"a unanimously. The committee on
hurch extension made "a report against
extension of work in foreign lands. DR..
Buckley, chairman, made report OF the
committee on episcopacy. 1t stated that
n the opinion of the committee Bishops
Bowman and Foster are too Old to stand
he strain of the duties and recommended
heir retirement at the end of the confer
.nce as non-effectlve. In the list of
bishops returned as effective Were all
he other bishops with the exception of
ldylOr, whose name was not HGnllOutU
\ generous appropriation was urged for
hem.
Bishop Foster rose and the audience re-
,eiyed him with great applause. He said
lie simply had request to make. He
knew the question was enc of great deli
,acy and he begged to be permitted to re-
tire. Cries of mo. no." came from all
parts of the hall. Bishop Foster extended
his arms, saying, please, please" 1t
vas am ost pathetic scena. Bishop Fos-
.er spoke a few moments and the con
request. Bishop Bowman said he would
make the same request. as he had just
learned for the first time that he was
not effective.
DIR. Buckler moved the adoption of the
report and a hundred voices seconded 1t.
DR.. George II. Brdgeman OF Minnesota
offered a substitute. which provided that
the two bishops be continued in the board,
but relieved of their active duties. DIR.
Brldgeman said 1t was unnecessary and
lnkind 10 take such action as contem-
plated in the report of the committee.
Rev. J. e. C. Sawyer spoke feelngly IN
favor of the substitute. The only object
IN retiring them was to retrench and
chat was unnecessary in the face OF the
immense membership.
The substitute of DIR. George II. Bridge
man of Minnesota, which provides that
Bishops Bowman and Foster be not re-
tired, was tabled, and the report of the
committee on the episcopacy retiring the
two bishops was adopted.
