PREFERRED DEATH TO PRISON.


TORONTO. Ont. June Rather than go
10 the penitentary TO serve twenty-one-
year sentence for the robbery of bank
In Aurora, Ont, Frank Rutledge to-day
committed suicide by jumping over the
baIustrade circling a gallery in the Jail.
He fell thirty feet. striking his head on
the stone floor and fracturing his skull.
Fred Lee Rice and Rutledge, who, with
Thomas Jones, were implicated in the
Auraro bank robbery. were to-day SEN
fenced to twenty-one years in the Kings
ton penitentiary. While Jail guards were
taking Rutledge and Rice to dinner the
former suddenly sprang away from the
guards. ran swiftly up the steps to the
gallery and without moments hesitation
jumped over the railing TO the stone floor
below. He died at the hospital without re-
gaining consciousness.
The suicide. which is the last OF a series
of sensational incidents connected with
the arrest of the three robbers, leaves Rice
TO serve out the penitentiary sentence
alone. Jones died from bullet wounds re-
ceived in the desperate attempt of the .pris-
oners TO escape from Constable Boyd and
his aids Tuesday night, as the officers were
conveying the prisoners TO Jail In a car
riage. In the shooting which followed the
throwing of three pistols into the carriage
by an accomplice of the robbers Constable
Boyd was instantly killed.

TO YOUNG REPUBLICANS
SENATOR FAIRBANKS DELIVERS A
SPEECH AT KANSAS CITY.
Tells What the Party He Represents
Has Done to Build Nation
Party Pledges Kept.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1.-THE Asso-
citation of Young Republicans of Missouri
held their second annual banquet at the
Midland Hotel, in this city, tonight, at
which Senator Charles w. Fairbanks, os
Indiana, the guest of honor. The ban
quet was attended by more than thousand
young Republicans from all parts of the
State. Senator Fairbanks responded to the
toast, Building a Nation" He said in
part:
Building Nation is the sentiment upon
which L am to address you. and l want to
ask what political party In this country
has better right than the Republican
party to consider that subject The genius
and great craftsmanship of the Republican
party have made this Nation what it is
to-day. For forty years the Republican
party has been responsible for the laws
enacted by our Congress, and since the
Republican rule began under Lincoln, to
the present time, our population has grown
from thirty-three millions To seventy-five
he to the men who have builded this Ma
ton. From the time of Washington We
have had men of great genius in control
OF national affairs. and to Republican con-
troll more than to any other party do we
owe our greatness nation to endure
must be built on principles of honor, and
political parties to endure must advocate
such principles.
ITO the glory of the Republican party it
may be said that it has the courage of its
convictions. 1t has passed the laws which
il has outlined in its platform In 1896 our
convention met in st. Louis and declared
for a gold standard In the campaign that
followed we were called gold bugs as a
term of reproach. Some of us shrank from
that term. Tonight we accept that name,
feeling that il is an honor to wear it.
Il have read i'm the daily papers that d
lately extinguished Democratic leader had
been dispensing oratory in your State.
After hearing the young Republicans here
tonight / don't blame him for coming.
The Republican party is charged by the
opposition with trying to overthrow the
Republic and establish an empire. That
charge should come from some other than
the Democratic party and should be placed
on some other than the Republican party,
which has ever been the party of liberty
in this country.
I'VE Republicans in Indiana sympathize
with you Republicans i'm Missouri. You
have to contend with the brutality of the
gerrymander-the invention of the Demo-
cratic party. We. in Indiana, resolved be-
fore high heaven to stifle this Infamous sys-
TEN and have our rights, and we carried
out that resolution. | want to see you Mis-
souri, Republicans do the same, and l be-
leVe you will y

The next convention will be held in Wheel
ing, W. Va.
The most important work of the con-
vention is considered to be the adoption of
the so-called continuous scale plan. 1t is
really not a continuous scale, but con-
tinuaton of the present method of annual
wage settlement with some amendments.
The most important of these is the con-
tfnuouS operation of the mills while the
scale is being considered in conference,
and the extension of time within which
an agreement must be arrived at There
is no provision for the continuation from
year to year of such portions of the scale
as may be satisfactory to both the assc-
citation and the companies at the time of
the annual wage adjustment. Neither is
there any provision for dating back any
increase in wages to earlier date. No
reference is made TO compulsory arbitra-
tion but ''conciliator" is provided for.
The detailed plan of annual wage set
tlement adopted by the convention is as fol-
lows: The annual convention will be held
i'm April when the whole scale will be re-
vised as usual. The scale will be given
to the manufacturers on May 10. The
period for conference negotiation shall ex-
pire June 10. If no agreement is reached
by that date. conciiator shall be called
into the conference. He shall decide con-
tested points, but his decision shall not
be final binding. III no agreement is
reached by July 10. all association mills
are TO close. The limit of settlement in
force now is July 1, al which time, if no
agreement is reached, the men walk out
The new plan extends the period OF con-
ference from three to eight weeks.

yesterday said nothing about the canteen

was solely against the method OF dealing
with the social evil lately adopted I'm Ha-

mistaken impression that we had come TO
talk against the canteen. but the doctors
listened TO his irrelevapt attack on us with
