READY FOR THE HANGING
ORA COPENHAvER AND THE NEGRO
JACKSON NEAR THE END.
Test Of the Trap Made by Prison OH
ciaIs-Those Who VIII witness the
ExecutiOns-Plans for To-day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. June 1O-All is
in readiness for the execution of Ora Co.
penhaver and the negro Jackson, who will
expiate their crimes on the gallows at the
prison between the hours of IL and / Fri
day morning.
Thursday morning the condemned men
will be removed to the death chamber ad-
joining the corridor leading to the scaffold.
and the death watch will be placed over
them until the hour of the execution
Thursday afternoon Warden ]. D. Reid will
read the death warrants to the condemned
men, at which time he will listen to any
requests that they may desire to make. AS
yet neither condemned man has made any
requests or statements. Here Ii is thought
that Copenhaver's relatives may claim his
body, but 1t is not believed that Jackson's
remains will find any other resting place
than the prison cemetery. The only wit
nesses of the execution will be Warden
Reid. Deputy Warden Barnard. the chief
clerk. the prison physician. the prison chap
lain. one outside physician and the guards
necessary to perform the work.
The scaffold was given its final test to-
day, the trap being sprung just as il will
be sprung Friday morning. Everything
worked without a hitch The cord which
controls the lever runs from the platform
10 the warden's room, and from this apart
ment the trap will be dropped. just as in
the previous five executions. Since the
hanging OF Keith a little over a year ago
the scaffold has not been taken down, as
Warden Reid has had one or more men un-
der sentence OF death at the prison ever
since that time. No one outside OF the
warden and Deputy Warden Barnard knows
who pulls the lever, the warden or his
deputy
Warden Reid is averse to talking much
about the coming executions, as he says he
does not want 10 begin 10 think OF IL until
the last moment when he VIII lay hold OF
the unpleasant task and get through with IL
I'm the shortest possible time. Mr. Reid
hopes that these will be the last hangings
for some time. There are no more muir
derers under sentence OF death.

at its disposal. but says that there will be
no lack of resources.
Mr.. Dickey has just returned from visits
to trade schools in the East. He visited in
stitutions in New York and Philadelphia

day there was raid on the stock OF the

to suffer serious losses by the publication

arose and exclaimed that their charges
were based not at all on the matters

port upon.

Peace and War.

Last week was noticeable for the
launching Of two ships very striking as
to both size and character.
The great merchant ship Minnesota,
a child Of Mr.. JAMES J. HILLS energy
and confidence in the future Of American
business, was the first to know the water,
built at New London in yard specially
created for the purpose, the largest
American ship ever built, and Of carriers
Of freight the greatest the world over.
Her sister, Dakota, is yet to appear.
The other craft, which may be called
a caretaker Of the first, was the ar
mored cruiser West Virginia. She Is the
first Of six and is OF something under
$4,000 tons displacement, twenty-five
knots speed, armor running in a belt
around her entire waterline and rising
to the top of her central citadel, and two
revolving turrets. Four s-inch guns,
fourteen 8-inch, eighteen S-inoh, twelve
s-pounders, eight l-pounders, and the
usual frills Of field guns. machinery guns,
automatic guns and torpedo tubes,
constitute her battery. This particular
sisterhood will make one of the most
picturesque and useful of the additions
to the American Navy. the West vir-
ginia's doubles to be being California,
Colorado. Maryland, Pennsylvania and
South Dakota. They are to see that no
harm or worry comes to the Minnesota
and her contemporaries throughout the
seas where their occupation takes them.

few OF its distinctive features, though,
still remain.
There are no longer any road houses
such a. were a feature Of its early de-
velopment In Harlem. The corner gro
ceries and feed stores have generally
disappeared; through the enhanced value
Of real estate holdings, new frame houses
are permitted only in The Bronx. under
building regulations; but no observant
wayfarer 10 Harlem can have failed
TO notice the drug stores. No section
Of the Greater New York has more, and
in no section Of town are the drug stores
80 well fitted up and. apparently, SO
prosperous. Yet Harlem b not too
thickly populated; 1t 10, also, one OF the
healthiest portions Of the city; 1t is on
high ground and made up mostly Of new
buildings, complying with all sani-
tary and hygienic requirements. There
are 500 Inhabitants per acre in the
Thirteenth ward and ess In the Tenth,
but In Harlem, which includes most Of
the Twelfth ward. north Of Eighty-sixth
street and bounded by the Hudson, the
Harlem and the East rivers, there are
only rs persons to the acre.
Ono reason for the superabundance
Of drug stores In Harlem 10 the fact
that it is, with the exception Of few
wards Of Brooklyn. in which drug stores
are also numerous, the most distinctly
American portion Of New York city;
and no class Of persons are better patrons
Of drug stores than city-bom Americans.
Those reared In the country are born and
bred to believe In homemade remedies.
Harlem has lost It's goats, it's rock
perched shanties. It's rood houses, its
sunken meadows, its corner groceries, its
stages, Its forest preserves. its country
homes and many Of its historical land
marks, but 90 long a. 1t retains its pres
ent proportion Of drug stores, assimila-
ton with the other sections of Manhat-
tan Island will not be complete.

The Craziest Of Charges.

Senator MORGAN Is yet hard at wori
illustrating the possibilities OF mono
mania. The latest development In the
case 10 his allegation that President
ROOSEVELT deceived or at least misled
the Senate by Intentionally Withholding
certain information that might have
prevented the ratification Of the treaty
with Colombia, and. therefore, nigh,
have brought about ultimately a rejec-
ton Of Panama and . return to the Mica
ragua route. -
This 10 all that We can mako of Mr.
MoRoAN's charge. The accusation OF
bad faith and deliberate conoealment on
the part Of the President Is thus phrased
by him In his excitement:
The Presiden, Withheld that Information in
order 70 keep the Senate In the dark. IL could not
have been done for any other purpose
The information In question was called
for on February Is, by one OF the num-
berless resolutions OF inquiry with which
Mr. MORGAN, imposing both upon the
courtesy OF the Senate and upon the
patience Of mankind, besieged the Ex-
ecutive for material wherewith to pad
his interminable speeches Of obstruction.
This particular information did not reach
Mr.. MORGAN. according to his statement,
until March 10; -the Senate adjourned a
few hours after that, and there was no
time to comment on it,
What was this vital information which
the President conspired with the Secre-
tary of the Navy to withhold from Mr..
MORGAN until II was too late for him to
comment upon the same, thereby
turning the canal from Nicaragua to
Panama?
Merely an elaborate compilation Of
all reports, correspondence, orders and
other documents relating to the military
occupation Of the isthmus in and after
April, 1902, by United States forces for
the protection, - required by treaty, Of
interoceanic transit by the Panama rail-
way; Mr.. MoBoAN's idea apparently be-
ing that II he got hold Of all the official
documents he might find something in
support Of his preposterous delusion that
the occupation OF the isthmus was part
Of damnable plot against him and the
Nicaragua route.
The wonder Ii not that Mr.. MORGAN
was kept waiting thirty days for any
particular batch Of information de-
for him. The marvel 10 that the
entire clerical force OF the Administra-
ton, working day and night, was able to
keep the supply OF manuscript anywhere
within six months Of the forefront Of his
demands upon the President.
There Is no law that denies to Mr..
MORGAN any comfort he may find In the
that II he had possessed
little earlier this or that fact or docu-
ment the result might have been differ
emit. But he goes too far when he accuses
the long-sufering Executive Of having
cheated him and the Nicaragua route by
Intentional delay and the deliberate
retardation Of historical material for Mr..
speeches.
