LITTLE HOPE FOR SMELL.
Action of Justice McKenna Leave.
the Cnxe With the President.

Joseph McKenna, Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
yesterday denied the application Of Ben
jamin H. Smell. convicted of murder, for
the issuance of writ of certiorari to the
Court of Appeals for the District, requ1r-
ing that the record in the case be sent to
the higher cour; for review.
This action by Mr.. Justice McKenna
leaves but one hope for respite or COIN
mutation to the condemned man, and this
is an appeal to the President, through the
Department of Justice. Messrs. Turner
and Mitchell. counsel for Smell. will pro-
coed along this line today. in the hope Of
securing further postponement of the day
of the execution of their client.
Some days ago President Mckinley gave
audience TO the Representatives in Con-
gress from Georgia. from which State Smell
comes, who made an appeal for executive
clemency. This. however. was denied, and
1t is quite improbable that another such
appeal will be made.

Granted by 0mnissioucrs.
]. Holdsworth Gordon President of the
Dunbarton Club, has sent a request to the
Commissioners that permission be granted
to hang the United States flag and the
colors of the club across the sidewalk in
front of their premises, 1896 U Street
northwest.
At the request of the Commissioners the
application was referred to the Police De-
partment for investigation, and John A.
Swindells, lieutenant of the Seventh e.
cinct, reports that there appears to be 70
objection to granting the request He says
that the colors will not hang over the car
riage way, but over the sidewalk in front
of Che club building. He says that it will
not obstruct the view, as there Is no other
house on the same side of the square.
In transmitting the report OF Lieutenant
Swindells to the Commissioners the Su err
intendent of Police recommends the grant
ing of the application, which the Commits
sioners have approved.
