For Introduction of Red
 Cross Into Balkans
AMBASSADORS ASKED
To Put a Pressure Upon Turkey to Allow the Suffering and Wounded of Each Side of Warning Countries To Be Cared For.

Constantipople. October S-The fol- lowing is the text of the petition signed by twenty-one men and women con stitutlng the American missions al Monastir, Phillipopolis, Salonica' ana Samakov, recently presented to united States Minister Leishman and to the British ambassador. Sir Nicholas O'Connor. requesting them to secure the admission of a corps of the ked Cross society into Turkey: or. as an alternative. permission for the mem hers of the American missions to dis pense charity.
 After reciting that a state of insur- rection exists in parts of European Turkey and that great suffering will certainly result therefrom, the petition proceeds.
 without canvass of the districts in question we do not care to estl- mate the number of, houseless people who are suffering from lack oi food, clothing, medical attention, etc. We are morally certain, however. that the number runs into the thousands. In some places they are living on roots and grass, even now at the end of the harvest. What will they do later? We have the testimony of eye-wit- nesses that in some places the wounded are lying without medical attendance and with no remedies or palliatives within reach of their friends.
 We humbly and urgently petition the governments of the United States and of Great Britain to take active measures to induce the Red Cross so- cieties of America and England to bring relief to the stricken districts and also to encourage the opening of popular subscriptions. The Ottoman government should welcome with avid- ity the offer of such relief for it's suf- fering subjects. Should it see fit, how ever, to object to or obstruct the dis tribution of relief We feel it our solemn duty, in the name of suffering human ity, to implore the governments of the United States and Great Britain joint ly and separately to bear whatever pressure nay be necessary to secure the humane end in view.
 ''The thought of whole districts weltering in blood, without a doctor or trained nurse to. relieve the suffer- ing, is too brutally revolting to be tol- erated in this twentieth century,.

of Ida Mccormick.

Duluth Mimi, March 7.-Charles Z.
L. Henderson was hanged at two
o'clock Friday morning, in court
room No. 1, where the gallows had
been erected. He showed no emotion.
He was granted permission to talk
about thirty minutes. He expressed
no sorrow for his deed, and said that
it would come out that the crime
was unprecedented. After talking
for about half an hour he said:
Il am ready"
He held his hands behind him for
the cuffs, and the black cap was adj
justed and the trap sprung.
Henderson's crime was the murder
of his mistress, Ida Mccormick. The
Mccormick woman is said to have E.
ceived attentions from other men,
and Henderson, in a fit of jealousy,
lay in wait for her in her apartments
one night and literally cut her to
pieces with an AK. This is the first
execution to take place in ST. Louis

not been bright mentally since he
was kicked by colt when he was five
years old, and it is expected that
neighbors of the Knapps> and fellow
workmen of the prisoner will testify
as to Knapp's queer ways. Knapp is
as Indifferent in Jail as ever, playing
cards and reading and apparently the
most cheerful of all the prisoners.

New York, March THE mystery
surrounding the death of Nellie
Blanchard" the woman whose body
was found in a furnished room house
in West Thirty-seventh street, Thurs
day night, has been partly cleared by
the statement that a physician had
examined the body and told the po-
lice the woman probably had died OF
natural causes. In connection with
the statement of the man with whom
the woman came to the house, Sum
day, when the room was engaged for
her, that they came from Chicago,
the police reported that check for
a sleeping car berth on the Michigan
Central was found among her effects.
The man paid for the room, and after
handing the woman some bottles of
dark liquid, the landlady's sister says,
she heard him say: Don't forget to
take this medicine. You know 1 am
a physician"
One of the bottles was found empty.
The police are looking for the man.
The police found an alligator skin
reticule among the woman's effects
and several bottles of medicine in the
reticule. All the bottles had been
filled at Morton's pharmacy, 323 Rush

Gigantic Group OF Statuary Designed

ST. Louis, March 7.-Frederic Rem
ington, the artist of wild western life,
will do a gigantic group of statuary
for the entrance to the concessions
street of the Worlds fair, represent
ing four cowboys astride of bronchos,
in the act of shooting up town."
Chief of Sculpture Bitter,who is now
in New York, has already closed the
contract with Remington, and has no
titled the director of works that the
sketch of the group has been COM
pleted and cast in bronze. The group
will be modelled in a plaster cast of
heroic dimensions.
Mr.. Remington has given to his
work the name, Comm Through the
Rye" and it is composed of four cow
boys in conventional cowboy costume,
all mounted on fiery bronchos, riding
at full gallop. The four figures are
represented as riding at such close
quarters that their boots touch. In
the right hand of each is fourished
represented as discharging as fast as
he can pull the trigger. The mouth
of each figure is represented as wide
open, giving vent to the wild whoop
which strikes terrer to the citizens of
the town that is being "shot up" while
the faces express all the reckless dare
deviltry of the festive cowboy out on
a ''jamboree.'
The group, stationed as it will be at
the entrance to the concessions street,
will harmonic beautifully with the
festal character of that locality. The
exuberance of spirit, which actuates
the cowboy to perpetrate his reckless
ride, and the shout and clatter SYM

Whipping of Convicts.

The joint legislative committee on
penitentiary has returned to Nash
vile from the State mines at Brushy
Mountain, and will at once enter
upon the work Of preparing their
report. Five hundred and forty
seven pages of evidence were taken
and this will be submitted to the leg
islature. Several sensational tea-
lures will add zest to the finding of
the committee. Warden Blevins
filed charges of mismanagement, ex-
travagance and kindred allegations
against Prison Commissioner Muir
ray, who has charge Of the mines,
and Mr.. Murray countered by charg-
ing Blevins with being numerically
cruel in his punishment of cOnvicts.
Murray claims he brought the mat
ter to Gov. McMillin's attention sew
eral months ago, but no official ac-
ton was taken. A number of the
whipped convicts were examined
and their bodies showed evidence Of
heavy blows. The whipping was
done with a heavy leather strap about
two feet long. An inquiry was also
made regarding the contract for fur
nishing beef to the State mines now
held by ex-State Senator John NJ.
Davis. A Mr.. Daniel, of the Emory
Mining Company, made the COM
plant and the evidence was con-
fiicting. 1t was found that Senator
Davis had been cutting timber off
the State lands, but he agreed to
pay for this. Davis, as senator two
years ago, was a member of the pen
itentiary committee, and it is
claimed that he knew the State line
and there was no excuse for him in
fringing upon the States property.

nority report on this particular ques-
ton.
