CL|FFORD'S DOOM
q. s. Supreme Court Denies
the Appeal Made By
Peshall & Co.
WILL HE EVER HANG /?
His Lawyers Say No But
the State Is Equally
Positive.
WILL HE EVER HANG !?

The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Clifford case is just
what was expected. 1t will be remember
ed that on January s, the day before Cliff
ford was to be hanged, Lawyers Charles
J. Peshan and James ]. Furey went to
Wilmington, Del, and applied to United
States District Court Judge Gray for
writ of habeas corpus. Their contention,
which was prepared by Peshall, was that
Cliffords execution the next day would
be violation of the United States Con-
stitution, which prohibits the infiiction of
cruel and unusual punishment. They
claimed that Clifford was insane, and
that to hang an insane man would be
cruel and unusual punishment. Justice
Gray refused the writ and an appear
was taken from his decision. He allowed
the appeal and also a stay of execution.
The appeal came up for argument in
Washington about a week ago. Prosecu-
tor Erwin was there, but Clifford was
not represented. Peshall said afterward
that he was unable to go to court on ac-
count of illness in his family, but ne
made an arrangement with Mr.. Erwin
whereby he was allowed week to put
in his brief He also said that he antici-
pated an adverse decision, as there was
not much merit in his appeal but that
he had something UP his sleeve to spring
when Clifford is again sentenced to be
hanged What it was he refused to say.
"You can say" he said to a reporter
in his usual positive manner, ''and can
say it on my authority, that Clifford Will
never be hanged"
Clifford has not been notified of the
Courts decision Prosecutor Erwin is In
washington and is not expected at his
Office until tomorrow.
When the remittitur arrives from Wash
ington, which will be in about ten days,
Clifford will be brought into court and
sentenced for the fifth time for the muir
der of Superintendent William G. Watt
son, of the West Shore Railroad, more
than four years ago.

JUST A LITTLE TOUCH OF NATURE.
But It Frightened the Gloomy Court
Room This Morning.

Love between a man and dog played
an important part this morning in the
First Criminal Court. Frank Shuts,
boatman, twenty-four years old, of Ger
mantown, N. Y, was arrested last even
ing for drunkenness. He had a poor,
shaggy, hungry-loolzing dog attached to
the end of a string. When Officer Toonan
placed his hands on Shultis the deg
snapped at him, and it was only by exer-
cising great care that the officer pre-
vented the mongrel from biting him.
Shultis was taken to the station house
and was sent to cell The dog followed
him. AS Shultis passed into the cell the
door was slammed and the dog was cut
off from his master. He set UP great
permitted to go unto the CELL Shultis was
just as anxious to have the dog with him
as the dog was to reach the side of his
master. He plead for the animals COM
pany and his request was granted. The
pair stayed together all night in the cell.
When Shultis was called into court for
arraignment he was again separated from
the dog, who began to cry and scratch
at the door of the cell leading into the
court. The anguish of the dog visibly
affected Shultis. He said nothing, hoping
for the speedy disposal of his case, that
he might again join the dog, whom he
called Dash A fine of S. was imposed
ON Shultis. He quickly paid it and rushed
to the cell.
The dog bounded out, wagging his tail
and barking with joy. He jumped up on
his master and licked his hands. With
smile and a pleasant nod to the Court.
Shultis walked out of court with the dog
at his heels. The animal seemed to know
that a trouble had been overcome and
was 'correspondingly happy. The incident
usually morose spectators more pleasant.

A WIFE's DUTIES.
Mr. and Mrs. Perkins Disagreed
Over the Definition.

Nelson Perkins, negro, thirty-seven
years old, and his wife Frances were in
the First Criminal Court this morning be-
fore Police Justice Potts. Perkins was
charged with severely beating his wife
with a belt, using the end with the buckle
to punish her.
The pair wrangled about the duties of a
wife to her husband. Their views on the
matter were widely different Perkins in
sisted that his better half should care-
fully arrange all his clothes so that he
could reach them easily. Mrs. Perkins
refused and told her husband to get his
own clothes himself
While he was doing so in a temper, a
new Easter bonnet, which was the joy of
Mrs. Perkins heart, was somewhat
crushed. She became very angry and a
QUARREL of words followed. Perkins lost
his temper SO badly that he took his belt
off and beat his wife with it.
Mrs. Perkins repented of her action in
causing her husbands arrest this morning
and at her request he was discharged on
payment of costs of court.

NORTHERN ADVANCE.
War Critics Expect Lord
Roberts to Move Soon.
LEV cable to The Assoclated Press.1

By Gable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, April II, 19o0-At last Lord
Roberts seems to be on the eve of making
his main advance towards Pretoria I'm
less all the usually reliable sources of in
formation and all the indications SNUG
gled past the censor are at fault, the
British army within a few days will be
marching northwards. After many pre-
mature and unfounded reports that have
purported to tell of this move there is
naturally, even in the best informed quar-
ters considerable hesitancy in definitely
settling upon the day Lord Roberts is
likely to leave Bloemfentein. But, in
spite of this, there is a settled impression
that it will occur at the end of this week
or the beginning of next. The long.
weary wait in the Free State capital has,
apparently, effected a much needed re-
habilitation, though it is probable Lord
Roberts would still further have delayed
his advance had not the Boer activity
forced him to put his forces in such posi-
tions that today unless they quickly pro-
ceed Northward the strategic advantake
will be lost.
The critics agree in the suppositfon that
the advance will be made in parallel
columns. with broad front. west of the
railroad, the Third and Eighth divisions
sweeping northwards to the extreme
northwest, the entire force amounting to
5000 men.
Exactly what part General Butler will
take is still a secret which no one is able
to probe.
From the seat of war there is significant
silence. From The Hague comes the
news that the Boer delegates refuse to
make public the object of this mission.
They hope to be received by Queen Will
hemina, but nothing in this direction has
yet been decided on.

MAY Be GIGANTIC STRIKE
Unions Asks Local Labor
Or They Will Call
Off Men.

1t is entirely within the lines of proba-
bility that every public street Improve
ment in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne,
Harrison, Kearny, and the North Hudson
towns and townships may be tied up IN
the very midst of the spring carnival OF
such improvements that are now under
way or may soon be started. Now that
the election is over and the possible cry
of politics is out of the question, MEM
bers of Local No. 1920 of the PAYERS,
Hammers and Curb Settlers Union, K. of
P, have allowed the fact to leak out that
two weeks before the election it passed
a resolution protesting against contrac-
tors for public improvements indiscrim-.
inately hiring cheap, nonresident labor
ers. Old men who have lived here for
several decades and reared families are
loudest in the protest.
The passage of such a resolution by
Local No 1920, was the beginning of a
movement that has for long while been
discussed among the members OF the
seven unions in the county. 1t is said that
other unions have followed suit The OBJ
ject is to have inserted in the contract for
every public improvement awarded
clause specifically stating that the con-
tractor must pay union wages to the la
borer employed on the works.
The resolutions of the various unions
are to be forwarded to the Street and
Water Board of this city and to the
boards of other cities, towns and town
ships of the county having power to
award such contracts. Local No. 1,320s
resolution was withheld on second
thought until after election for the fear
that the members might be accused of at
tempting to force recognition in the heat
of a political campaign. They ydeclare
that such is not the case.
A conservative member of Local NO
/ ,g2O said to a 'fNews" reporter:-"We only
ask fair play. We don't want to be ac-
cused of using politics to further our own
personal aims. But it's hard for US to
stand idle with families suffering and
look at an army of men who have taken
our places. cheap men hired by grasplng
contractors from all over the United
States: men who have no pride or IN
terest in the city's affairs, and who as
soon as the job is completed, push on 10
other cities to take away the jobs of other
respectable laborers who have reared
