head Of the nation figures in an attempt
made yesterday to save the three Van
Wormer boys from the death chair at DAN
nemora prison. Less than half an hour be-
fore the time set for the execution Warden
Deyo received the following telegram:
West Point Station, October l. 1903.
To George Deyo, Warden:
The Van Wormer boys must not be exc
cuted today. A stay has been granted.
By order
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES
Warden Deyo at once consulted with
some OF the witnesses present, and conclud-
ed that the message was a forgery sent
for the purpose Of delaying the execution
beyond the official day 1t was concluded
first that the President could not interfere
except through Gov. Odell. and. second.
that reprieve could not be accepted by
telegraph. but must be by personal sigma
ture or in personal interview by telephone.
No attention was therefore paid to the
communication. but every endeavor will be
made to find the sender and prosecute him
or her.
Another incident Of the execution yester-
day was the suspension of Keeper Davis
for selling to certain newspapers the con-
tents Of personal messages written by the
Van Wormer boys to their friends.

NEED OF NAVAL ENGINEERS.
Officers Detailed Otherwise Ineligible
for Sea Duty.

The pressing need OF engineers IN .ne
navy has compelled the department to util-
,za tte services of officers who otherwise
ara Ineligible for sea duty. When the sub
loot of the appointment of a board of engi-
neers to make a voyage in the battle ship
Maine to Culebra and report on the per
Torrance of her boilers was under consid-
w;thout a SUFFICIENT number Of engineers
doing sea duty TO perform the work. This
condition of affairs was brought about by
the provisions of the navy personnel Dill
transferred to the line who were of or
above the rank Of commander. The new
board is composed of Capt. J. A: B; Smith:
president: Commander w. y. Bay!ey and
though the two first-named officers come
within the scope of the personnel law. the
department finds no other alternative but
to order them to temporary sea duty.
