Write tho Condemned Man to
Tell How They Would Like
to Torture Him

Albany, N. Y Oct. l4.-Supern-
tendent Cornelius V. Collins will
send request to Secretary of State
Hay to designate al official repre-
sentative of the government to be-
present at the electrocution of Czol-
gosz, the murderer Of President Nc
Kinley. Only twenty. six witnesses
will be present in the chamber of
death when the sentence is executed.
Warden Mead, of Auburn prison, has
sent to superintendent Collins the
requests he has received for permits
sion to attend the electrocution, more
than 1000 in all. The law will
limit tho number of witnesses and
the superintendent will decide who
the witnesses will be.
1t was stated at the State depart
ment of prisons today That state
ments to the effect that Czolgosz is
in continuous state of collapse and
that he breaks down and weeps every
time anything is said to him con.
cerning the electrocution are false.
Superb tendent Collins had talk
with the condemned man some DAYS
ago and at that time he said he knew
he had to die. He Expressed no fear
as to the electrocution, but said he
would not care to go outside Of tho
prison, for he believed that the peo.
pie would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn
prison several thousand letters have
been received for him at the prison,
as we'll as large number of express
packages containing flowers and
fruit, The letters, flowers or fruit
have never reached the condemned
man. The flowers and fruit it is
learned have been sent by Christian
societies, as have q number Of letters
consoling him in his last moments.
Other letters have come from cranks
who have written about the species
Of torture TO which they would put
him if they had the execution of
justice in his case.
1t is stated, however, that it would
be matter of surprise if the names
Of senders Of fruit and flowers were
made public.
The State prison department has
pursued uniform policy in regard
to Czolgosz.
An effort has been made to pre-
vent the murderer from gaining any
notoriety while awaiting death and
to surround him by as perfect an
isolation from the world as possible.

He Told New England ufActurrra that
they Need not F-nT Southern Cotton
hiil Competitlon SO Long nH tsaio
has to Cross tho Ocean to Find IL
Man to Manufacture It,
New York Commercial. I

The Hon. d. A. Tompkins, who is
now member of the United States
Industrial commission, and who ad
dressed the New England Cotton
Spinners Association the other day,
does not claim to be n stikingly pro-
Tossing man. His interest in cotton
spinning is better known than his
face, and when about three years ago
he quietly arrived ono day in Provi,
dence, Rhode Island, were he was to
attend business MANS banquet, he
did not make himself known to the
committee. When the hour for the
banquet arrived one of the most noted
business men Of Providence became
much Interested IN rural looking
parsonage who sat on his right. AS
the speeches progressed, the stranger
made some soto voce remarks dis
senting from the tone Of the speak
ers. They declared that the cotton
manufacturing business had been
ovordone in America; that the Sonth
ern mills had broken the market;
and that the time WAS coming when
tho fierce competition OF Southern
mills would leave the Northern mills
in ruins. At last the stranger could
stand it no longer, and blurted out:
eff there is any one here who
WAITS to sell his factory stock at 20
per cent off, | will take him up"
This direct challenge to the des
pondent speakers drew attention to
Mr.. Tompkins. TO them he said in
substance:
GAS long as q bale of cotton has to
cross the ocean to find man to
manufacture it there is no such thing
as the competition of Southern mills
with those of the North. New Eng
land has never done anything more
than play about on the edges of the
possibilities. The seat Of manuiuc-
ture is still abroad and what we Of
the North and South together have
done does not cut figure. There
is room for every mill that can be
erected in the South. There are
gre ter possibilities than ever before
the mills Of New England. If had
one million dollars I would not hest
tate to invest it ri ght here in Provi-
dence, fully convinced that l would
make good Investment. I say this
rs Il Southern man. | am astonish.
Ell that any New Englander should
be despondent under such circum-
stances, it can be manufactured at
profit here"
Before the night was over Provi-
dence capitalists had pressed upon
Mr. Tompkins offers of money to
build mills North, South, East and
West. Said Senator Aldrich:
81 never appreciated our position
more than l do now. We want NOR
of Mr.. Tompkins's hopeful tempera-
ment in our business dealings"

INCIDENT FEES
CANNOT BE CHAR ED.

opinion or MuCi: 'mpGrinnrr-Tho Aarist-
ant Attorney General Passes ON IL nlnttor
Concerning Schools In South CnroiIun
The State, 10th.


tor yesterday handed the State
uperlntondent of education an opin-
ion of far reaching Importance. I'm.
dor this opinion the law Of tho State
forbids school districts to charge
pupils incidental fees going to make
up the tuition foes which they cannot
legally charge. 1t will affect many
{" public school in the State whose
resources have thus been most mate
rally added to from time to time.
This opinion has no bearing upon
the decision Of the Supreme court
rendered some time ago, in the Rock
Hill case, which allowed the charg
ing Of snch foes in schools. In that
case the schools we're chartered, and
tho charter gave the right to charge
supplemental and Incidental fees.
MIR. Gunter's opinion reads IN fol-
lows:
Dem Sr:--You request to be ad-
vlsed upon the following question: ::
"Can board of trustens of a free
school charge an incidental fee or
impose any other kind Of cost as q
pre-, requisite to entrance of scholars
to the public schoolsY"
| am Of the opinion that the boards
can impose no such charges. The
board Of trustees being of statutory
construction can have no authority
except such as granted by statute
Boards Of trustees are created under
q general school law. This law pro.
vides for the complete free school
scheme Of the State, and il entitled
"an act to declare the free school
law of the State" approved March
3, 1896. The title az we'll 40 the
body Of the act denotes the intention
Of the general assembly to give the
people q free school. Not only free
in name but free in fact
After careful perusal of every
section of the act | have been unable
to find any authority, either direct
or by implication, to impose the fee
referroh to. 1t il true that the board
of trustees are charged with the
management of the free schools of
their respective districts, and are
given authority to act go az best to
promote the educational interests of
their district" But this docs not
| apply to the financial resources Of a
district. That feature is left to the
tax collecting and tax disbursing
machinery. The trustees arc given
authority to distribute and expend
tho school funds Of district for the
best interest Of the district. There
can, therefore, be no excuse to at
tempt to raise funds for any incl
dental purpose by an Incidental fee
for the whole sum raised by taxation
is available for any educational pur,
pose.
Ii board Of trustees can impose
small fee they could likewise i'm.
pose large fee, thereby making
attendance impossible, and thus
thwarting the object Of free schooI
law. This conclusion has, Of course
no reference to schools operating
under special charters or specia
legislation, wherein authority il giver
to charge fees or tuition, the Su
premo conrt having recently sus
tanned anch power. The case,
passed upon by the Supreme cour
have no bearing upon schools oper
ated under the :, eneral free schoo
| law Of tho State.
