STEAMER BOHEMIA.
Arrives at New York After a Long
and Eventful Passage.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The Sloman
line steamer Bohemia arrived to-day
frcm Hamburg, via st. Michaels after
an eventful passage of forty-three days.
The Bohemia left Hamburg on Janu-
ary 31st with a general cargo and 12l
steerage passengers, and encountered
a succession of southwest and north
west gales with tremendous seas, which,
breaking over the vessel, washed over
everything movable from the decks,
fioated the forehold, smashed boats and
did other minor damage. The steamer
ran short of coal, and was obliged to
bear UP to ST. Michaels, where she ar
rived on February 21st.
On February 9th, when five days out
OF Hamburg, steerage passenger,
named Eva Dennebarsioka, aged n
years, was taken sick with smallpox
and isolated in the ships hospital. At
quarantine the patient was found to
be ,convalescent. 1t was decided to
transfer her to the reception hospital.
All the remaining passengers are well.
The steamer will be detained for disin
fect:on and cleansing, but will probably
be released this afternoon or tomorrow

MRS. MARTHA PLACE.
Governor Roosevelt Refuses to
Commute the Death Sentence.

ALBANY On ", March 15.-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt has refused to COM
mute the sentence of Mrs. Martha
Place, the Brooklyn murderess, and she
will be executed in the electric chair
some day during the next week at Sing
Sing prison.
In his memorandum announcing the
decision Governor Roosevelt says:
No more painful case can come be-
fore Governor than an appeal to ar
rest the course of justice in order 10
save a woman from capital punish
ment when that Womans guilt has
been clearly established, and when there
are no circumstances whatever to miti-
gate the crime. If there were any rea-
sonable doubt of the guilt, if there were
any basis whatsoever for interference
with the course of justice in this case.
should SO interfere. But there is no
ground for interference.
THE accused was condemned as
guilty of murder in the first degree,
after full and fair trial, although. as
all men know, jury in such a case Is
always reluctant to give verdict
against a woman if. any justification
whatever exists for Withholding it.
This verdict was then reviewed at great
length by the Court of Appeals, and
was affirmed without a dissenting
voice, though this court always scru-
tinizes with the most Jealous care sucn
case, desiring that the benefit of ev-
cry doubt shall be given to the accused.
II wrote to the District Attorney and
to the Judge who tried the case, to
learn whether there was any ground for
executive clemency. They both aH-
swered that there was none whatever,
and that the case was one of peculiar
outrage.
There is no question of the woman $
guilt. and no question of her sanity. Al!
that remains is the question as to
whether 1 should be justified in inter
fering to save a murderess on the
ground of her sex, when no justlflcation
would exist to interfere on behalf Of a
murderer.
This murder was one of peculiar de-
liberation and atrocity. To interfere
with the course Of the law in this case
could be justified only on the ground
that never hereafter, under any cir
cumstances, should capital punishment
be inflicted upon any murderess, even
though the victim Vas herself woman,
and even though the victims torture
preceded her death.
There is but one course open to ME.
I decline to interfere with the course OF
the law"

The Net Being Drawn Tightly About

Brighter Outlook in the Affairs OF

Prospect That Both Instttu-
tions May Soon Resume Busi-

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.--The
net is being drawn tightly about Mrs.
Minnie Adams, accused of numbering
her little son by the administration CT
carbolic acid.
To-day Police Officer John Herlihy
positively identified Mrs. Adams as the
woman who bought a bottle OF car
bolic acid at Western Addition drug
store last Sunday evening. The officer
says that he observed the woman care
fully, being attracted by her excited
condition He saw her go into the drug
store, and saw her tear a label from
bottle as she left. She tore the label
in two and threw the pieces into the
street.
Officer Herlihy picked up the pieces
and went into the drug store, and talk
ed with Clerk Puelenky about the case.
The drug clerk was suspicious of the
woman, and took the pieces of the label
for safe keeping. but they were swept
away by the janitor. as they cannot
be found.
The drug clerk, while saying that
Mrs. Adams '1ooks like the woman
cannot positively identify her as the
purchaser of the carbolic acid.
Drug Clerk Puelenky took the usual
precaution of recording the purchasers
name and address, but developments
show that both the name and address
given by the woman are fictitious.
The bottle sold the woman, who gave
the name of Mrs. Creighton, was an
ordinary three-ounce affair. hut. the
bottle from which the little child drank
the acid was one which wac found
few days previously by a playmate Of
the dead boy. The police argue that
Mrs. Adams grasped at the finding of
the bottle as a means of getting rid of
her child, and that she purchased a
three-ounc bottle of carbolic acid, and
then poured the contents into the larger
bottle
Mrs. Adams admits freely that she
burned some of her oh;ld's clothing,
but says she did so at the suggestion
of physician who attended the little
one during his last illness.
The inquest will be held tomorrow,
and important developments are ex-
pected.

BICYCLE TRUST.
Details Arranged for the Forma-
tion of a Big Combine.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The Her
ald' tomorrow will say: Makers of
bicycles have arranged the details of
the formation Of a trade combination
that will involve capital to the amount
of $50,OO0,000. 1t is understood that
ten Of the leading makers of wheels
nave entered. the combine, and that
several others will probably be per-
suaced to add their signatures to the
agreement.
A. G. Spaulding is credited with being
the moving spirit in the proposed COM
bine. With him are associated A. A.
Pope and H. Philip Gormully of the
Gormully & Jeffery Manufacturing
Company of Chicago
Attempts to form a bicycle combine
have been made in the past, but all
have been futile, primarily because the
small manufacturers could not be
eliminated.
With the coming of the chainless BIZ
cycle, however, the situation was al
tered. While the transmission of power,
by means of shaft and gearing is not
novelty, the adaptation of it to the
use Of the bicyclist, involving the con-
structlon OF the complicated machinery
necessary to turn out the gears is said
to have cost one company five years of
LABOR and an expenditure of more than
S5oc,OJO. company was formed in
New Jersey and Lyons to manufacture
pevel geared bicycles, but under its
patents privileges were granted to some
OF the largest concerns in the trade.
1t is upon the foundation afforded by
these licensed concerns that the new
organization is to be founded All the
companies licensed have agreed not to
cut prices, under penalty Of forfeiture
OF license and the payment of a cash
penalty said to be $5,OOOOOO.
When this had been arranged. A. G.
Spaulding set sail for Europe. At the
time it was said he went eor his health.
In the course of Mr.. Spaulding's search
for health abroad, it is said, he obtained
in France the control of the Acetacyne
patents. which are considered to be the
foundation of the beveled gear wheel.
the French having used this form of
power transmission several years be-
fore it was tried elsewhere. In England
the Cross roll or geared patents were
obtained.
No change in the bicycle business for
the present year is contemplated, but
next year each manufacturers product
will be marketed, the middlemen's
profits being eliminated. That all this
had been carefully planned is shown
by the recent organiza tion of a $5,OOO.-
OD0 bicycle saddle company by A. r.
Garford former President of the Ma
tioral Cycle Board of Trade. To this
is to be added the steel tube combina-
ton and the wood rim organization.
Aside from the beveled geared wheel,
there are two chainless bicycles manu-
factured, each of which is declared by
its maker to be the equal of those which
will be controlled by the organization.
Terms have already been offered to the
independent concerns, which will
probably be accepted.
