Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-John McCrea,
murderer of William +. Murphy, city
detective, last June, last night was
granted a second reprieve to Dec. II,
that his case may be taken to the SUI
preme court He was to have hanged
three weeks ago and Gov. Yates by
long-distance telephone granted a re-
prieve to Nov. 27.
Yesterday. on the recommendation
of the board of Pardons, another CON

received an official letter from the
board of pardons and from Gov. Yates
detailing the facts in the reprieve and
ordering his attention accordingly.
Yates Men Back Down.
When Gov. Yates was here during
the corn exposition Senator Putnam
and Col. Frederick Smith, of Yates
camp, urged Yates to grant the re-
prieve, and the governors action was
met with a storm of protest. These
men have been busy for several weeks
trying to explain their action, and it
is said that during the last few days
both have urged the governor not to
grant further reprieve or to com
mute the sentence.
1t is freely said that Yates has lost
more followers in the Peoria district
by his action in the McCrea case than
for any other reason.

But Hang He Must, a Curious
Legal Complication BEING
Cleared Up.

FARGO, N. D., June 23.-The su-
preme court today decided that the
death sentence of John Rooney, con-
victed of murder here last August, must
be carried out. Rooney and two other
men attempted to hold up the three
Sweet brothers, of White Earth. Mimi.
VINO were camped near Fargo, en- route
to the harvest fields. Harold Sweet
was killed. His brothers captured
Rooney and the other men ESCAPED.
The prisoner was convicted and dur
ing the trial the legislature passed a
law, changing the place of executions
from counties in which crimes occurred
10 the state penitentiary. 1t also
changed the time that must elapse be-
tween sentence and execution to six
months, instead of three Judge Pol
lock, of Fargo, was not informed of the
latter change and sentenced Rooney to
be hanged June 26. When notified of
the error the prisoner was returned and
resentenced to be hanged in September.
His attorneys appealed on the ground
that the new law provided an addition
al penalty to that in practice at the
time of conviction, in that the con-
demned man must be confined six in
stead OF three months preliminary to
execution and that the latter must oc-
cur in the penitentiary instead of the
county Jail.
The supreme courts decision up-
holds the new law, and Rooney's ex-
ecut1on will be the first to occur in the
pen. Rooney had formerly been under
arrest charged with holding up farm
laborers in the fall

PAY OF TEACHERS
WILL NOT BE RAISED
School Board Avoids Open
Discussion of Vexing
Problems.

1t is hardly likely that any more in
creaSeS in teachers salaries will be
considered by the board of school in
Spectors. An advance in the pay Of
the grammar grade teachers and also
Of the principals of the grade schools
was billed for consideration by the
board last night but the subject was
studiously avoided.
Much pressure was brought to bear
by the grammar grade teachers to have
their annual stipend increased from $500
to $500 and they had gone to the trou-
bic of securing data to show that their
services were worth every cent of the
figure asked, but the proposition was
not even considered.
Prior to the regular meeting of the
board a lengthy secret session was held
and if the matter was touched upon
during that time, the members were
careful to deny it when the finish was
announced.
If a raise is to be made, it would
have to enter into the minutes of the
regular report to the council, which is
made the first of July and as that date
is close at hand, failure to touch on the
matter last night practically precludes
any further action.
These proposed increases do not
take effect until January, 1904, so you
see there is no need of haste" said
President Holman last night.
But that statement to the council
in July, does not that call for early
action?"
Yes, you are right" answered Mr..
Holman. Il really never thought of
that. But we will get around to it all
right"
The board, from all accounts, is real
ly not in a position to raise any more
salaries because of a limited fund. 1t
does not care to enter into a discus
sion regarding its position and for that
reason will quietly let the matter drop.
The principals who get from 81 900 to
$1,000 want an advance of $1O0 on the
year.
