DETROIT, Mich, December a.
The annual banquet OF the American
Federation Of Labor. held in the Girls
void House, tonight. lacked the usu-
al accompaniment Of orchestral music.

reported in to-day's convention along
with a resolution declining the invi-
tation to the banquet rendered by the
local committee. Despite assertions OF

/ FAINT RAY OF HOPE
ron FRANK WALKER, VINO WAS
TO HAVE BEEN EXECUTED
TO-DAY.
HE WILL PROBABLY HANG,
But the Governor Has Instructed
the warden to Defer the Execu-
ton Until After xoon-A Comman-
icatfon over the Long Distance
Telephone Last Night-A Teie-
gram From Charleston.

According to reports which were CIV
en- general circulation in M~oundsville
last night and which are believed to
be true, there is a faint ray OF hope for
Frank Walker, who was to have been
hanged this morning. The report has
1t that the Governors private secre-
tary, Mr.. Boggs, called up the Warden
wei the long distance phone, and con-
veyed the instructions Of Governor At
kinson, to postpone the execution of
the condemned man until after noon,
adding that further instructions will
come by wire or phone about noon to-
day.
Shortly after two o'clock this morn
ing, the Register communicated with
the prison over the phone. The re-
port that the execution had been post
poned, was confirmed, but the prison
official protested ignorance as TO the
cause for this action. The time orig
ina1ly set was about six o'clock this
morning, and a number of Wheeling
persons who were favored with cards
of admission, intended to go down.
It is believed that the Governor has
been presented with some new evidence
bearing on the case and has asked for
a postponement of the execution in or
der to give him time to examine the
evidence. 1t is likely that Walker Wiz
be hanged this afternoon or evening,
unless something unexpected develops,
and he is given a further reprieve.
The condemned mai passed yesterday
very quietly at the prison, eating heart
lily, and spending a portion of his time
with his spiritual advisor, and in med
itation. He manifested no disposition
to talk.
The following telegram was received
from Charleston early last evening:
Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, December IA.
Frank Walker, who killed Thomas
Saunders in Fayette county, because
the latter would not give him a drink
of whisky, will have to die in the pen
i~tentiary at Moundsville tonight or to-
morrow, Governor Atkinson and the
board of pardons having refused tie
application of Walker to commute his
sentence to life imprisonment. The
Governor, on the recommendation of
the Board of Pardons, has granted a re-
prieve of thirty days to Lud Madison,
sentenced to be hanged December 18th
for murder in Fayette county. The
reprieve is granted for the purpose of
giving the attorneys for Madison time
to prepare papers for an application TO
the Supreme Court for a writ Of error
from the judgment of the Criminal
Court of Fayette county.

Royal Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,

economical in the end, because it goes
further in ~leavening and never spoils
