Not a Crime to sell Votes.

Boston, Mass: According to the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, 1t is
not crime to sell his vote, but It is
serious offense to buy one. 1his de-
cision was given in the case of Andrew
F. Doyle against Frank r, Kirby Fri
day. In decision written by Chief
Justice Knowlton, the court discusses
at some length the laws relative to
elections, holds that the statutes have
repealed the common law on the sub
ject of bribing voters and that, as the
law now stands, while 1t is a crime to
buy a vote, there is no penalty for
selling one.

Junta Fears Critics.

Panama: The plan outlined Thurs
day by which the treaty was to be sign
ed and dispatched to Washington on
the day of it's arrival here has been
abandoned, because it is feared that
such rapidity of action might give the
impression that the treaty had been
hastily and inadequately considered,
and thus lay the members of the junta
open to criticism. It is absolutely GER
tain, however. that the treaty will be
quickly ratified, without the slightest
opposition. It is said that as soon as
the treaty has been ratified the jlinta
will address a note to Secretary Hay,
asking that 100000 be paid in cash
to the Panama Government and that
$4,000, coo shall be transferred in such
q manner that 1t can be invested, the
interest being payable to the Govern,
ment The junta Is still firmly opposed

District Judge Thursday.

Castanez's answer declares that the

ed, and sets forth that extradltion un-
der the recent treaty would be illegal
because the treaty cannot be retrOac-
tive.
Stress is laid also upon Kratz's value
as citizen of Jslisco, and mention is
made Of the recent unsuccessful at
tempt at extradition.
Considerable surprise was occasion
ed by the argument, since it is the gem
eral understanding among the attor-
neys here-whether or not they are
connected with the case that the
present proceedings have nothing to do
with the recent extradition treaty, but
are based entirely upon provisions of
the general extradition law. In fact,
the court before whom the case is be-
ing heard recited as much in unmistak-
able terms in his charge.
Kratz now has twenty days in which
to present his proofs.
In the face of such a weak defense
it is not considered likely that de-
cision will be long delayed.

CROWD TEARS DOWN
GALLONS FENCE
An Angry Populace Witnesses Yellow
Clark's Hanging.

Kahoka, Mo-: Frank, alias "Yel-
low" Clark, was hanged here Wednes-
day afternoon for rape and muTderous
assault on Miss Ollie Hess July 25 last.
The city was filed with crowd of ex-
cited people from nearby points, and
from the neighborhood where Clark's
victim resides. The intense feeling
eliminated about 1 o'clock, when a
crowd Of several hundred men tore
down the stockade which surrounded
the gallows of the Court House yard.
The execution was thus made public.
and aside from this there was no dis
order. The trap was sprung at 2:10,
and Clark died without a struggle. He
made a speech from the gallows, in
which he acknowledged his crime, and
expressed regret for it. He recently
professed Christianity and said he was
ready to die.
Clark was half Indian half Mexican.
His execution was exactly four months
after his crime was committed. Miss
Hess was attacked on the public road
about two miles from Kahokia. AL
though posses secured the country and
a reward of $1,000 was offered for his
apprehension, 1t was not until Septem-
Der 10 that Clark was recognized and
arrested at Galesburg, Ill. He at once
confessed and was brought to Kakoka,
where he was found guilty on Oct. IS.
