ROONEY MUST HANG.


FARGO. N. D., June 23.-The Supreme
Court at Bismarck has upheld the capital
punishment law passed by the last session
of the Legislature and has confirmed the
death sentence passed upon John Rooney,
who will be executed i'm September. The
case is peculiar one. Rooney was con-
victed Of the murder OF Harold Sweet I'm
March last and sentenced to be hanged
June rs. Meanwhile the Legislature had
amended the law to require that all execu-
tons should take place at the state peni-
tentiary and that six months must elapse
between the date OF sentence and execu-
ton. The trial judge had Rooney brought
back from Bismarck and resentenced him
in conformity with the new statute. Roo
neys attorneys appealed on the ground
that the prisoner had been tried under one
law and sentenced under another, and that
the new law provided additional penalty I'm
that ii heightened the term OF Imprisonment
prior to execution.
The Supreme Court denied this appeal and
Rooney Will hang in September.

As to the Drink EVIL.

There is doubtless the force of truth I'm
the contention OF Rev. j. s. Stewart OF
Battle Creek. when on the subject of drinks
he says:
Much Of the modern danger is because of
the new concoction Men often wonder why
our fathers, hundred years ago, could in
dulge little and We not at all with safe
~. 1t was partly because our fathers did
not lead such a nervous and Intense life
and also, let us be candid enough to con-
fess-it was partly because their LIQUORS
were simple and pure"
There can be little question of the COR
rectness of this contention and IL follows
that much of the water works fluid I'm mod

MR.. UNTERMEYER SEVERE
LAWYER DENOUNCEs THE SHIP
BUILDING COMPANY.
Says the Big Corporation Is Insolvent
and q Receiver should Be
Appointed.

NEWARK, June 23.-Argument Of coun-
sci for the appointment of receiver for
the United States Shipbulding Company
was heard to-day before United States Cir
cult Court Judge Andrew Kirkpatrick. The
hearing in Trenton yesterday disposed of all
the affidavits and formal papers In the case,
and each side was allotted three hours for
final argument. Samuel Untermeyer. of
New York. opened for the complainant, and
Charles L. Corbin followed for the defense.
Mr.. Untermeyer had barely risen when Mr..
McCarter asked leave to present the affi-
davits of holders of 100000 of the reorgani-
zation bonds. all of whom, he said, desired
to join in the defense under the reorganiza-
ton plan. Both Mr.. Untermeyer and Mr..
Lindabury objected to the introduction OF
the affidavits. Judge Kirkpatrick, however.
held that the addition of 100000 Of bonds to
the s2O.000,OO0 already represented by Mr.
Sheldon, as chairman of the reorganization
committee, would make no especial differ
ence and admitted the new documents.
Mr.. Untermeyer declared that he would
show the court that the corporation was In
solvent, 1T was conceived in iniquity,
maintained by fraud and is ending in
crime he said The facts. counsel said,
made out an overwhelming case warrantlng
the appointment of receiver. AS an alter
native plan Mr.. Untermeyer declared If the
insolvency was not shown to the satisfac-
ton of the court compliments would claim
that the plan of reorganization was a plan
to wreck the corporation and that the COM
plainants had the equitable right to have
the court interfere TO preserve their hold
ings. His argument was along the lines of
the complaint
Charles l.. Corbin, for the defendants, ar
gued that the compliments had not shown
the company to be insolvent. The applica-
ton ought to be dismissed for that reason,
because there was no proof of fraud on the
part of either the reorganization committee
or the directors, because the court lacked
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver unless
both insolvency and fraud were proved. ana
finally, because the appointment of a re-
ceiver would prove destructive to the prop
erty of stockholders and creditors.

where that God designed the human
heart should enjoy, for freedom is the

desire for freedom as shown in the rise
and fall OF kingdoms and monarchtes in

mination in America in the establish
ment Of ours. the greatest government
the world has ever seen.
