BOOTBLACK TRUST
Is Causing Distress in New York

NEW YORK, July 20.-A small boy
when arrested today for petit larceny
gave as his excuse that tbs bootblack
trust had ruin ed his business.
It is true that company controls
the bootblack privileges of all OF
the ferries which center in New York.
The boys and men who work fort his
trust are neatly uniformed and are
paid q regular weekly salary not large,
but regular. In order to prevent them
from pocketiug some of the money
realized from shines they are compel
led to ring up miniature cash regis

This ombination on the ferries, to-

in large Office buildings and in front of
corner saloons, has done much to elm
mate the boys. A few of them still
exist but they are fighting against
great odds.

HARTFORD Conn, July O.-On the
gallows in the state prison at Wethers
feld,Charles Benham Cross, the 1S year
old murderer, this morning paid the
penalty of the law for the murder OF

Bravely he walked from the narrow
call where he has awaited bis
end since Tuesday, and without hlnch-
ing he stood under the electric lights
on the floor of the execution chamber,
while the moose was slipped over
his head and the black cap shut from
mis- view the pale faces of those who
stood in silence about him.
When be appeared before the board
of pardon in June on an application
for a commutation Of his sentences
to life imprisonment, he broke down
and cried: 81 do not want to die" He
was thoroughly resigned at the last,
however, and went to his death with
out q murmer.
AS he walked beside Rev. DR.. Hall
from his cell to the floor under the
dangling moose, distance OF 30 feet,
h closed his eyes and clinched his
tseth in evident struggle to control
his feelings, but that was all.
His death was painless, for his neck
was broken. Cross was the youngest

tered her room, q desperate struggle
followed, her clothes we're torn from
her body and the furniture thrown in
disorder. The woman was beaten to
death with q club.
Several efforts were made to save
, the boys life, but pleas of insanity and
youth had no effect on the court and
he was condemned to die.
