PAYS THE PENALTY
 FOR AWFUL CRIME
WILLARD LEE DIES ON THE GAL LOWS AT ATLANTA FOR THE MURDER OF MISS SUTTLES IN A COUNTRY CHURCH.

Atlanta. Ga. october 3O.-Millard Lee was hanged here today for the murder of Miss Lila May Suttles on May, 20, 1902.
 The crime for which Willard Lee palu the death penalty today was committed on May 20, 1902, when he shot and Killed Miss Lila May Suttles, beautiful If- vear-oId girl who lived at Ben Hill, country village several miles from Atlan- ta.
 The shooting occurred on Sunday morn ing and in a church of which Miss Suttles and Lee were attendants. The tragedy took place directly after the minister pro- nounced the benediction and was dismiss ing the congregation. Lee, who had been very much in love with Miss Suttles, had previously asked to go home with her and she had refused. stating she had an engagement with another which seemed to anger Lee.
 During the service Lee had been seated three seats behind her and as she started out of the church, meeting her face to face in the aisle, Lee fired three times at her with a pistol One of the bullets took effect, killing Miss Suttles instantly. She fell at the foot of the altar.
 Lee was afterward captured ana at ms first trial found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death. Upon the day of exc cution, a plea of insanity was filed by his attorneys and respite was grant ed by Governor Terrell.
 The case was carried to the superior court and upon a technicalty was thrown out An appeal was taken to the supreme court and the judgment of the lower court was reversed. This action occasioned trial on the plea of insanity and Lee was adiudged sane. Again the case was ap- pealed to the court of last resort which affirmed the superior courts decision. While the case was pending in the various courts Lee was granted six respltes.

SAMUEL PARKS
 AGAIN CONVICTED He Extorts $500 from the
 Tiffany Studios THIS IS SECOND CONVICTION 
"Jim" Mccarthy, Who Was Also Un- der Indictment for Same Offense, Fails to Appear in Court
 and Forfeits Bond.

New York, October 9o-For the sec ond time within two months, Samuel j.. Parks, walking delegate of the House. smiths and Bridgemens Union, Local No ?, was convicted of the crime of ex- tortion in the court of general sessions this afternoon. It took the jury just 12 minutes, during which time they took two ballots to agree on the guilt of Parks in extorting $500 from the Tiffany studios, a firm of contractors, under threat keep ing them from continuing work on build ings last January.
 It was shown at the trial that Parks had obtained $500 from the Tiffany firm as an union" fee last January when the housesmths and bridgemen were on strike on three of the Tiffany contracts in this city.
 Parks claimed that this money was a fine levied by his labor union.
 Later the fact developed that Parks had been disloyal to his union, inasmueh as he permitted the Tiffany firm to em- ploy non-union men on non-union jobs, after having received the $500 This ae- cusation was not denied by the defendant or his counsel during the trial, but the latter contended that Parks had given the money to the treasurer of his organ ization, and that the entire transaction was a business deal which afforded con- siderable business advantages to the firm which paid the money.
 Counsel for Parks endeavored to intro duce certificates as to the prisoners del- cate state of health, but Judge Newbur- ger before whom the case was tried, re- fused to admit them.
 In his charge Judge Newburger said 1t made no difference what disposition Parks made of the money he had obtain- ed from the representatives of the Tif- fany firm, if in the belief of the jurymen, he had obtained it under a threat direct or implied
 When the verdict was renoered, Parks glared at the jourymen with the same look of defiance which he maintained dur ing this. as well as his previous trial. He is liable to a term of not less than two and a half, nor more than three and half years in Sing Sing prison.
 Tim Mccarthy, who with Sam Parks Is under indictment for extortion, failed to appear in court and his bail of g, GOO was declared forfeited.

BRITISH MINISTER
 DELIGHTED TO COME
SIR MORTIMER DURAND, NEW AM BASSADoR FROM ENGLAND, FIX PRESSES GREAT SATISFACTION AT APPOINTMENT TO AMERICA.

Madrid. October 30.-Sir Mortimer Dur who was recently appointed British ann bassador to the United States, was inter- viewed today by a correspondent of the Associated Press at the British embassy here.
 The ambassador, who is of tall and ath- letic build, and genial manners, re- ceived his visitor most cordially. Concern ing his appointment to Washington, he said:
 "I confess to somewhat of a surprise, though certainly pleasant one. I had no intimation of 1t until I received an in- quiry from the foreign office asking if would go to Washington. I immediately ! replied in the affirmative. I am delighted to go to America, which I have long ad- mired and have been anxious to visit The 1 leading American statesmen are known to
 me only by reputation. so I have yet to acquaint myself with American men and | affars.'
 | When asked what line of policy he would | follow the ambassador answered: That is difficult to answer, owing to my unacquaintance with the country,
 but naturally shall follow the lines laid | down by the foreign office and British interests. Regarding the difficulties of my new position, unless Lam much mis- taken. they will not be very great. per- haps less than at Madrid owing to the number of pending international ques- tions here. The relations between the United States and Great Britain are most cordial. there being no serious litigation pending between the two Anglo Saxon nations and l am personally convinced that Great Britain will use every means to avoid friction and submit every ques- tion to arbitration. The political horizon, therefore. being cloudless 1 think every thing will be peaceful and tranquil" Concerning Spain, the ambassador said:
 'I confess l leave here with regret. The society is charming and I have many sincere friends here"

ing the proceedings several Armenlans were present, including Editor Kureghian of Young Armenia. To the police, Ed- tor Kureghian stated that Kirkorian is the head of the London central commit tee, and it was he who ordered Kuregh- ian's murder and attempted personally to assasSinate him several months ago, when he was editing paper in London.
 Krikorian, while somewhat nervous, shows no alarm over his detention, al- though several times today he denied that he knew anything of the murder, and stated positively that he never was president or an officer of the Armenian committee, nor of any other secret or revolutionary society. He said he had only been on the committee, but had sev- cred his connection with it some time ago.

 At present I do not believe however, in deciding upon a man for the nomina- tion. Let us get our national platform to- gether first and then choose man to fit that platform MT. Gorman 1t is needless for me to say, is in every way qualified for the office, yet l do not think 1t wise at this time for democrats to fix upon candidate. It should be a case of the best man for the platform and no attempt should be made at this early day to ar rive at any conclusion as to candidate
 Democrats Will Win in New York;
 Senator Jones returned to the city this afternoon from a visit to New York. In discussing the mayorality situation there he said:
 Tt looks as though Mcclellan would win. I talked with some of the democratic leaders of the city and all appeared con L1ent of winning out. The Tammany or ganization appears to be superb. It is recognized that there will be some dis affection in Brooklyn owing to the re- pudiation of Hugh Mclaughlin by the Tammany people, but from what l could gather the McCarren forces there, who stick by the Tammany ticket, are in great shape and the Mclaughlin assertion is being minimized in importance as cleo ton day draws near. From what l ob- served of the situation Mcclellan cer- tainly appears to be the winner"

CANAL DISCUSSED
 BUT NOTHING DONE
MAJORITY OF COLOMBIAN SEN. ATE APPEAR TO THINK THAT THERE IS NO USE OF A DISCUS. SION ON THE SUBJECT.

Washington, October 30.-A cablegram from United States Minister Beaupre at Bogota to the state department describes the canal proceedings in the Colombian senate as follows: "The report of the committee was discussed in the senate October 27. Only four senators spoke. Senator Carroll opposed the proposed law of organization regarding it as uncon- stitutonal on the ground that any action which the present government might take would be subject to the approval of the next and future congresses. He vigorous ly denounced the treaty itself and the selfish motives of the United States Tn desiring such treaty.
 Senator Groot defended the treaty.
 Senator Ospina advocated the proposed law providing for a renewal of the nego- tiations for a canal treaty.
 Senator Orange, after pointing out the futility of the proposed law, which was only the treaty with notifications which the United States had already de- clared to be non-acceptable, proposed an indefinite postponement of the whole af- fair on the ground that there was no use for it's proper discussion by the senate.
 "The majority of the senate appeared to agree to this view, but the cloture or the debate by the presiding officer pre- vented the taking of a vote on Senator Orango's motion, which may come up for action tomorrow, on which date the sem ate will adjourn finally"

Rountree, for his personal benefit charg- ed a much larger sum against the mem bers of the association than was neces- sary to meet the reasonable expenses of the excursion.
 ''2. That in securing hotel and other ac- commodations for the excursion party he improperly sought and received commis- sions for his personal use.
 "3 That he connived at and encourag- ed the fragrant violation of the bylaws and the rules of the association in secur- ing transportation from the railroads for persons not members of the association and not entitled to the same.
 .IJpon the first specification it is suf- ficient to say that MT. Rountree ac- knowledges that he had made money out of the excursion, and though he positive ly declined to submit an itemized state ment or any general statement, your committee believes the testimony sus- tains the conclusion that he profited by the excursion to the extent of between $3500 and S4000.
 Upon the second specification the tes- timony shows that MT. Rountree de- manded of the hotels a commission for his partiality, as well as the 'complimen- tary' fee for himself and immediate friends. The verbal testimony on this specification is sustained by written evil dence under MT. Rountree's own hand. 'The third specification is sustained by a mass of circumstantial and direct testi- mony; and your committee is of opinion that in securing transportation from the railroads the secretary became personally interested in violating the rules of the association in order that he might profit thereby.
 Your committee in presenting the result of their investigations are deeply i'm pressed with the reproach brought upon our body by the action of its secretary, and we respectfully recommend prompt and decisive action in relation to It. Re- spectfully submitted,

CHAIRMAN JAS. K. JONES APPROVES THE AC TON
 OF MARYLAND SENATOR
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, October 3O-(Speeial.)- Former Senator James K. Jones. chair man of the democratic national executive committee. expressed his approval today of the action of Senator German in mak- ing the race issue the paramount ques- ton in the Maryland campaign.
 In speaking of the subject Mir Jones said this afternoon: T think that Sem ator German and his associates who are interested in democratic success in the Maryland campaign made no mistake in giving prominence to the race question as distinguished by attitudes between the two parties Mir. German is perfectly right that the race question is one of the most important questions before the peo- pie of this country at this time. It is a vital question and must sooner or later be settled for all times. The democratic party according to reports wLich l have re- ceived from democratic friends and ad- visers there, certainly has the better hand of the situation up to this time. I think the country at large is anxious for yer dict on this proposition, and the sooner it is submitted to the whole vote the bet ter.
