only by the prompt action of the ef-

The fire was unusually destructive,
as four business men were render

FIVE PARD0NS DENIED;
TWO SENTENCES ARE CUT

WASHINGTON, oct. 25.-The president
has denied five applications for pardon
and granted two combinations of SEN
tence, as follows;
Joe Martin was convicted in the western
district of Arkansas of the murder OF
Ernst Adams and was sentenced to be
hanged. President Harrison on July 30,
1858, commuted the sentence to life inn
prisonment in the Ohio penitentiary
where the prisoner has been confined ever
since. The president has committed the
sentence to a term OF imprisonment to eK-
pire today. He granted this commute
ton upon the recommendation OF the at
tSney general who upon an examination
of the testimony recommended that there
was no evidence to prove premeditatd
murder and that even IL Martin killed
Adams he did so in self-defense. Among
the papers In the case is a strong letter
dated October Is, 1902. from Hon. w. Fl.

the time this prisoners sentence was
commuted by President Harrison. Dora

Official warrant for his rlease.
Charles Newberry was convicted in the
western district OF Virginia for resisting
revenue officers and with three co-de-
for ten years in the West Virginia peni-
tertiary. The attorney general believes
that two and one half years Imprisonment
would be ample punishment for this pc
titioner and he recommended a commt-
tatiOn to that term which the president
granted. This will release the prisoner
on April 1, 1905.

NEW Y0RK'S CHILDREN
VICTIMS OF TRACH0MA

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The mayor and
the board of education was startled this
week by a report made by DR.. Ernest J.
Lederle, president of the board of health,
which stated that a contagious disease
prevailed to an alarming extent in the
public schools, and that many pupils will
become blind II measures ere not promptly
taken 10 prevent II.
"Of several thousand children who have
been examined during the past few
cent were found to be affected with ira

and 10 per cent Of this number require i'm

sight"
what we must do" added the doctor,
as 20 obtain permission from parents to
perform operations on all pupils affected.
This is the only way to cure the disease
and stamp IL out" He then asked for a
special appropriation OF $21,600 to cover
the cost of examination OF school children
and treatment when necessary. He ex-
planned for the past month he had had
physicians making examinations and that
whole rows OF children had been found
with the disease. There was no opposition
to DR.. LederIe's request for the appro-
priation and he viii get the money. He
says that he thinks the disease was intro
duced by immigrants and further said
that more stringent measures should be
used before pupils, especially those just
arriving from foreign shores, should be
admitted to the public schools of New
York, as many diseases were introduced
thereby.

JOHNSON SENT DARTS
HOT AFTER M'LEAN

CINCINNATI. oct. 25.-Mayor Tom L.
Johnson. of Cleveland, closed his stay
of three days here tonight with another
crowded tent.
He held meetings this afternoon and
evening in different parts of the city and
at all the rallies denounced John r. Nc
Lean, both as a leader of the DemOcra-
cy and as publisher Of The Enquirer.
The meetings in Johnson's tent here this
week have intensified factional feeling
beyond anything of the kind ever known
in Ohio campaigns. Rev. Herbert S. Big
Glow. who heads the Democratic state
ticket for secretary Of state, and who has
appeared with Johnson at his Cincinnati
meeting was equally severe in repeatedly
reading Mclean and The Enquirer out OF
the party.

STAB IN W0MAN'S HEART
CAUSED BLOOD POISON

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-An autopsy over
the body of Mrs. Annie Kingsley, who
was the subject of an operation at Belle
vue hospital when the surgeons placed six
stitches in her breast. shows that the
wound had healed perfectly and that her
death several days later was due to septic
poisoning caused by the unclean knife
blade with which she was stabbed, it is
charged, by her husband.
The doctors found that the cavity of
the left ventricle which was pierced, was
absolutely tight--that isl the walls had
united as a result of the operation. With
out it she would have bled to death in a
very short time.
The poisonous blade caused infiamma-
ton OF the muscles and arteries of the
heart.
