Do Governor Stanley condemns Sheriff
EVerhard OF Leaycnworeh in unmeSsured
terms. He says the sheriff should be
made to make suitable re ribution If such
thing were possible.
The sheriff of Leavenworth Is either
desplcable scoundrel or a despicable
coward said the governor touight.
Inere was no reason in the world why
the negro should not have been pro-
tected to the last The whole militia
power Of the State would be devoted TO
that effort, and the sheriff knew It all
the time.
Il ordered the militia Of Lawrence
and Topeka to be ready and they would
have been sent to the scene of the trou-
BILE the minute the sheriff needed them
The warden OF the penitentiary had no
right to keep Alexander there as he had
been convicted OF no crime. Bus-the life
OF the negro should have been preserved
at all hazards, and it is TO be the lasting
shame Of the great State of Kansas that
such an Infamous proceeding should have
been allowed TO take place within a few
miles of the capital city
What makes the disgrace to the state
more gaining IMAM ever IS the TACT that
he had ample militia forces with which
the terrible tragedy could have been
ayerted. The sheriff Is to blame. and no
body else Things like this have hap
poned In the South many times, but they
do not seem so horrible there as they
do here, where nothing OF the kind has
ever been thought Of"
Governor Stanley said the burning OF
Alexander would not have taken place IL
the people u Leavenworth had been per-
suaded that the negro would have been
hanged ii proved guilty of the crime.
1.-The death penalty must be restored
IN Kansas said the governor, land then
things OF this kind win not happen"
The Judiciary committee OF the senate
announced tonight that a bill would he
prepared tonight making the penalty
death for murder and rape.
Topeka, Kan, January 15-Governor
Stanley tonight announced that he would
tomorrow offer a reward OF $500 for the
apprehension OF any one implicated in
the lynching of Alexander at Leaven-
worth. The governor further said he was
also going to instruct the attorney gem
eral to at once investigate the conduct
OF Sheriff overheard In connection with
the lynching, and If 1t was found that
the sheriff had in any way violated his
trust as an official, proceedings would be
instituted to GUST him from office.

CONFIRMATION OF Mr.. HARLAN
ny THE SENATE WAS PREVENTED
ny PEprIGREw.
cent-Refcrrcd to other In
decent Procedures.

Washington, January 15.-lWhilo tho
senate was in executive session today an
effort was made to secure confirmation OF
the nomination Of John s. Harlan, son Of
Justice c. Harlan of the United states
supreme court, to be attorney general for
Porto Rico, 'out the action was prevented
by objection OF senator Pottigrew
Senators Foraker and spooner united
In an appeal to Mr., Pettigrew to with
draw his objection, saying that Mr., Har-
Ian is an excellent lawyer and an ac-
complished gentleman and would fiji the
place as acceptably as anyone who could
be named
Mr.. Pettigrew responded that he had
no doubt of Mr. Harlau's personal htness
for the position for which he had been
nominated aud added that he had DO
personal objection 10 him. His OPPOSE
ton. he said. was based on higher
grounds. He then recited the fact Of
the nominees relationship TO Justice
MARIAN and declared that the nomination
Is entirely out OF place in view OF ne
fact that importsnt litigation affecting
the island to which Mr.. Harlan is APP
pointed is now pending before the court
over which the father is member.
Il make no charge against the supreme
court" said Mr. Pettigrew, ''but | do
say that the appointment OF sons Of two
members of that court to important posi-
lions under the administration az this
Juneture of Affairs in the supreme court
Is indecent, to say the least"
He referred in this connection to the
termination Of Justice McKenna's son to
be major in the army, sayiug that In
giving him this place he had been pro-
NOTED over lis ether lleuteuapis and cap
tains. Mr.. FehigNw also commented
upon tho removal of Major Harrison, son
of the ex-president, intimating that this
action was oceasioned by the fact that
the attitude OF MIR. Harrison's father on
the question Of our relationship 10 our
insular possessions Is not in accord With
the admtnlstration's course.
Mr. Pettigrew said he had no doubt
that Mr.. Harlan would be confirmed. but.
he added, that a yea AM noe vote would
be necessary to that accomplishment aud
II would be politics TO have a quorum
present when the nomination should he
acted upon. There was no quorum pres
emit and the senate adjourned without
