Trying to Escape Hanging.

Guthrie, Ok, April 9.-Attorney
GeneralJ. C. Roberts has been by the
United States Attorney General to
appear before the United States Su-
preme Court on April Is to represent
Oklahoma in the appeal OF B, P.
Qusenan, convicted Of the wife muir.
der in Oklahoma City and sentenced
to be hanged.
Queenan's attorney tried to show
that the code Of criminal procedure
under which he was convicted was
invalid for the reason that the bill
did not bear the signatures OF the
president and speaker OF the legisla
ture, but the Oklahoma supreme
court sustained the law. The appeal
now before the United States Su
preme court is based largely on th,
fact that Thomas Harper, a member
Of the jury that convicted Queenan
once served a term In the Nebrasks
penitentiary for felony.

Judge Mulligan's Famous Poem

IN kENlUSh1.
The moonlight falls the soitest
In Kentucky;
The summer days come oftest
In kentucky,
Friendship is the strongest,
Loves light glows the longest;
Yet, wrong is always wrongest
In Kentucky.
Lies burdens bear the lightest
In Kentucky;
The home fires burn the brightest
In Kentucky;
While players are the keenest,
Cards come out the meanest,
The pocket empties cleanest
In Kentucky.
The sunshines ever brightest
In Kentucky;
The breezes whisper lightest
In Kentucky;
Plain girls are the iewest,
Maidens eyes the bluest,
Their little hearts the truest
In Kentucky.
Orators are the grandest
In Kentucky;
Officials are the blandest
In Kentucky;
Boys are the fliest,
Danger ever highest,
And taxes are the highest
In Kentucky.
The bluegrass waves the bluest
In Kentucky;
Yet, bluebloods are the iewest CD
In Kentucky;
Moonshine is the clearest,
By no means the dearest,
And yet it acts the queerest
In Kentucky:
The dove.notes are the saddest
In Kentucky;
The streams dance on the gladdest
In Kentucky;
Hip pockets are the slickest,
Pistol hands the slickest,
The cylinder turns the quickest
In Kentucky.
The song birds are the sweetest
In Kentucky;
The thoroughbreds are the fleetest
In Kentucky;
Mountains tower proudest,
Thunder peals the loudest,
The landscape is the grandest-
And politics-thy damnedest-
In Kentucky.
With Apologies
The railroads are the fieetest
In Kentucky;
Passenger trains the neatest
In Kentucky;
II you wish to travel fast,
Use the Henderson" first and las
You don't want your time to vast
"To and thro' Kentucky"

TO SAVE THE NEGRO'S VOTE
The New York Union League
Club Aroused.

Congress Will be Asked TO Reduce
Southern Representation and to
Test the Validity Of the Con-
stitution Of Southern
States
New York, April 9.-The members
OF the Union League club will advo-
cate the protection OF negro suffrage
In the South at the April meeting
tonight. Congress will be asked to
deal with the question along the line
ora radical reduction Of representa-
ton Of the Southern states in con-
gress.
1t is just year ago that the Union
League was divided upon the ques-
ton Of discharging negro attend
ants. The negro servants were kept
after stormy session. The report
OF the club committee on political
reform, which is expected to precede
the action favoring negro suffrage,
will, it lie believed, be OF interest
in the southern states. After recit.
ing that southern states have tried
to circumvent national legislation
giving suffrage to negroes, the report
recommends that Congress be asked
to take up the question without a
moments delay. 1t recommends also
that the southern representation be
cut down and that a large sum OF
money be appropriated to test the
validity of the recently adopted con-
situations in Alabama, Virginia and
other states in the south.
The ablest counsel in the United
States will be employed to prepare
and argue these test cases regarding
the constitutions mentioned. In ad-
dition to the sums appropriated, it
it proposed to ask the individual
members nj the club to contribute.
One OF the prime movers in this
movement is said to be ex. secretary
Cornelius N. Bliss.
The Club is expected to adopt reso-
lutiots following the adoption,si the
comm ttee's report. Ten thousand
copies al these resolutions will be
circulated among state senators,
churchmen and those in authority
everywhere.
President Roosevelt was vice pres
ident OF the club in 1899. He is still
leader in it's councils. General
Horce Porter. Joseph II. Choate,
John Jay and George Cabot Ward
have also been presidents Of the club.
The late Hamilton Fish and William
M. Evarts were presidents. Senator
Chauncey M. Depew, John D. Rookie
Teller, j. Pierpont Morgan and An
drew Carnegie are members OF the
club, the two latter being on the gov
erning committee. The list OF mem
bers includes VIM. d. Sloan, George
F. Baker, Whitelaw Reid, John Jacob
Astor and D. O. Mills.
Schenectady, N. Y, April 9.-At a
mass meeting here last night resolu-
tions were adopted indorsing the
action OF President Roosevelt in ap-
pointing negroes to Office and up
holding the rights of "the colored
people to partaks OF the fruits OF cit
izenship."
