No HELP FOR ROONEY.
Supreme Court Of North Dakota in Its
Decision Declares His Sentence to
Be LEGAL.

Supreme Court Of North Dakota in Its
Decision Declares His Sentence to
Be Legal.
John Rooney must hang. The 81,
preme court has decided that he must
pay the death penalty for the murder
of Harold Sweet. The case is one Of
the most peculiar in the criminal prac-
tice in this state. Rooney and two
pals attempted to hold up three young
boys named Sweet Of White Earth,
Mimi, who were camping on the out
skirts of Fargo last August en- route
to the harvest fields. Rooney and
Harold Sweet were engaged in scuf-
fle when the latter was fatally shot.
Rooney was captured by the other
brothers and his partners fed.
Rooney was tried and convicted.
The Hearing was during the legisla.
tive session. which passed bill re.
quiring that all executions should be
in the state prison at Bismarck. The
legislature also changed the law re,
quiring that six months must elapse
between the date sentence was I'M.
posed and the execution, as had for
merly been the practice.
After the measure had been signed
by Gov. White, Judge Pollock sen.
fenced Rooney in March to be hanged
June 26 in the state prison, making
the date only little over three
months. as he had not been informed
of the time extension. When HI
learned of the mistake the prisoner
was brought back from Bismarck and
a new sentence imposed, to become
effective in September. and conform.
ing with the law.
Rooney's attorney appealed, holdins
that the condemned man had been
convicted under one law and SEN
fenced under another. and that the
last law provided additional penalty
in that the time of preliminary i'm
prisonment was extended three
months and the sentence to be carried
out in the state penitentiary instead
of the county Jail. The supreme court
has just decided the law is all right,
and Rooney will be executed in Sep.
TENDER
He will be the first man to I've
hanged in the penitentiary and the
first to be executed under the new
law. Rooney has long criminal rec.
ord of having held up farm laborers
here every fall.

DECISION FAvoRs TREASURER.
Judge Fisk Has Handed Down a D,
cision in State Bond LITIGATION.

Judge Fisk Has Handed Down De.
cision in State Bond Litigation.
Judge Fisk has handed down de
cision in the case of the State OF
North Dakota against D. H. Mcmillan
state treasurer. The decision Is in ia.
vor Of the defendant, and sustains the
demurrer which he interposed to the
complaint.
Attorney General Erich, represent
ing the state, brought the action
against Treasurer Mcmillan to recov,
er $4,000, the amount of bond pur.
chase he made two years ago from
the funds of the university and school
lands board
In his opinion Judge Fisk holds tina,
the bonds are state bonds, but that
they are not amenable to the provis.
ions OF section 1872, which limits the
aside from the state debt at the or.
get .zation Of the state. The decision
further holds that State Treasurer
Mcmillan cannot be held liable for
such an amount.
Attorney General Erich will at once
prepare an appeal to the supreme
court and arguments will probably be
made the coming week 1t is hoped
that the court will render decision
on this very important matter within
ten days or two weeks.
AS before stated the suit is an en-
tirely friendly one between Treasurer
Mcmillan and Attorney General Erich,
and the decision will decide the fate
of the proposed state institution bond

JAILBREAkER CAUGHT.
Says He and His Companions Gould
Easily Have Killed Posse.

Hinsdale, Mont, June -. - Brown,
one of the Glasgow jailbreakers, was
captured late yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Rutter. Brown told Rutter that
he did not want to be with the gang
when they came in contact with the
officers for he was sure that there
would be some hard fighting. He said
that while the four outlaws rode
through the brush near Glasgow they
passed within thirty feet of some Of
the posse, and that they could have
killed all of them. Nothing has been

LONDON, November 21.-There is
now in London a rival of Professor
Lorenz, the Vienna surgeon, whose
name is associated with bloodless sur
gerry, in the person of DR.. Raby, a ma
tive of Guernsey. Raby, in contrast
to Lorenz, who occupies half an hour
in his operation, does the work in
three to five seconds. Instead Of maxi
ing patients lie from six to twelve
months in a plaster cast, as Lorenz
does, Raby promises them they will
be able to walk in forty-eight hours.
He performed an operation yesterday
upon a youth of IS, who had hip dis
ease, which made the left leg four
Inches shorter than the right. The
operation was performed in three and
one-half seconds and the result was
that the leg Immediately became two

tient will be able to walk tomorrow.
Raby says he has dealt successfully

THE NEILLS
V..4.%.+.+.~-.......@+4..S

The Neills will appear tonight i'm
what viii probably be one Of the most
| interesting plays of their repertoire
interesting from its authorship and the
widespread interest the book from
which the dramatization IS made. Great
ed. This play is THE Christian" 1t is
a dramatization of the novel of the
same name, by Hall Game. Hail
Gaines work combines in an unusual
degree merit as literature and adapta-
bility to dramatic representation.
Most of his books have been drama
tized, and the quick popularity of some
of his earlier works was probably due
in no small degree to the strong dra-
matte work of Wilson Barrett in dra-
matzations of them. Barrett's tours
through America brought Hall Gaines
work to the knowledge of the American
public as almost nothing else could.
| But of course no real or permanent
benefits would have accrued to Hall
Game from this, if the plays of his, in
which Barrett appeared. had not been
worthy of that artists ability. 1t was
the combination of great artist and
worthy play, that brought Hall Caine
in this way so favorably before the
American public. And the American
public has been his friend ever since.
VI
tian" by the Neills there is something
comparable to the presentation Of
Gaines earlier works by Wilson Bar
rett-the conjunction of worthy play
and capable artists. James Neill as
John Storm" the leading character in
the play and Edyth Chapman as clio
ry Quayle," one of the most striking
characters in fiction, give an oppor-
tunity for Honolulu theater-goers to
see most admirable dramatic repre-
sentation.
The Christian" has in some way
fallen into the classification of the
problem play" in the public mind. In
that it deals with things which touch
and enwrap the moral fibre of serious
men and women, the classification may
be just. But it is entirely unjust if by
problem play" is meant an effort to
reproduce on the stage the didactic
treatment of these serious matters
Hall Gaines work both in literature
and as q playwright, is dramatic, not
didactiC. And so THE Christian" is a
dramatic play of the intensest interest,
and in the hands of the Neills cannot
fail to be a splendid production.
Tomorrow evening the Neills will pre-
sent Hoyt's "a Contented Woman"
From The Christian" to "A Contented
Woman is an antithesis, but an an
tithesis in character only, not i'm quail
ity, for this is Hoyt's masterpiece, and
Hoyt has had few equals in drawing,
broadly it is true, and with burlesque
and eXaggeration, the eccentricities of
his own time.
