APPEAL TO MR.. HANNA.
Ohio Senator Asked to Have Certain
Employees Properly Classified.

A delegation of fifty women employed in
| the various departments doing clerical
work, but classified as 'laborers," called on
| Senator Hanna at the Arlington Hotel yes
| terday and solicited his influence In their
| behalf to the end that those 'laborers" who
are performing clerical duties and have
been doing that kind OF work for two or
more years may come under the head Of
clerks in the classined service.
It is stated that Senator Hanna promised
| to present the matter to President Roose-
Welt.
In the petition presented to Senator Hanna
1t Is stated that the fifty delegates repre-
| scented 400 women in the various depart
| ments. and that they believed him the
friend Of self-supporting, dependent women
in the government departments. as well as
the friend Of wage men in and out of the
government service. The petition recdtes
that these 'laborers'' receive from $40 to $50
| a month for doing the same work that
clerks who come under classified service
perform and receive from 800 to 81 400 per
annum. According to the appeal, 80 per
cent Of the '1aborers' who are doing cleri-
cal work have passed civn service examina-
, , ton, some Of them having passed as high
as 30 per cent. For various reasons, It Is
stated, they have not been called through
the civil service bureau. The reason as
signed for this condition liz that some of
the women came from states where the
quota was already full. and others who
have passed a high examination were not
called to perform clerical service during
the year.
1t was declared that among the delegates
who called on Senator Hanna there were
some who had passed civil service examina-
ton two and three times. and that q num-
Der of them also have worked In the CEN
sus bureau for two or more years. The
petition further recites:
1.-THE majority of women who are and
have been doing clerical work were glad to
accept positions OF laborers, trusting that
their faithful service, at less than half the
salaries paid those who came under the
classified service, would be appreciated.
Furthermore, we earnestly protest against
rural free delivery, War and other depart
ments which have come under the classified
service during the past two years"

M0RTENSEN WASA
NATIVE OF UTAH

Peter Mortensen, who was yesterday
executed for the murder Of James r.
Hay, was born in Richheld, Utah, thir-
ty-eight years ago. His early years
were spent there and when a young
man he removed to Provo. It was while
living at that place that he married a
Miss Watl1in, who is the mother Of five
children.
While but a lad OIortensen showed an
aptitude for drawing and sketching,
and his friends believe that had he
been educated along this line he would
have made a name for himself as an
artist He had no education except
what he received in the public schools,
but at that became a good draugEts-
man and drew the plans for several
houses in this city.
MOrtensen lived for a time In Ogden,
and while there engaged in the lumber
business. He owned a saWmiu near
there at one time, which afterward was
destroyed by fire. 1t has been claimed
since that he burned the mill himself,
but this story is not believed.
Since moving to this city MOrtensen
has resided most of the time in Forest
Dale, and prior to his arrest for the
murder Of Hay was considered an up
right and honorable citizen. He is said
to have been a man with a great deter
minatiOn and a strong Will, and would
generally succeed in whatever he IN
dertook.
When. he was arrested for murder
on Dec. is, 1903, his wife left him and
went to Ogden 20 reside with her rel
atives. Mortensen never saw her since
that time.

CALLS NEWSPAPER MEN TO HIS CELL

his eyes, and IL was some time before
he could speak.
Then he went on and finished He
turned smilingly on The Herald re-
porter as he mentioned the exclusive
interview he had given The Herald The
day before, and asked the representa-
tives Of the other papers not to be Of
Tended because of this. He shook
hands with each Of those present. Dr.

asked him if he wished any stimulant.

ANOTHER EFFORT TO
GET CASE INTO COURT

While Sheriff c. Frank Emery was
completing the final arrangements at
the penitentiary for the execution Of
MOrtensen, the condemned mans at
torneys went before Judge Charles w
Morse in the criminal division of the
district court and made a final effort
to secure a delay III the proceedings.
But they were unsuccessful. Before
they had left the building, almost. the
sheriff had carried out the mandate Of
the court by shooting Nortensen until
he was dead.
The attorneys for the prisoner made
an Intellectual attempt to secure a delay
by submitting two affidavits setting
forth the fact that two of the jurors

NET DEATH WITHOUT
SPIRITUAL CONSULTATIONS

Peter Mortensen did not ask for nor
receive the services Of a clergyman at
all yesterday. From his attitude the
day previous it was expected that ne
would desire spiritual comfort during
his last hours on earth, but not once
did he even speak Of such a thing.
Anticipating that the condemned man
would ask for the services Of a clergy
man, Rev. p. A. Simpl1in, OF the Con-
gregatiOnal church, Father Kelly Of the
Catholic church and Andrew Jensen
and Arthur F. Barnes of the Mormon
church were on hand yesterday morn
ing, but they were not called upon.
Mortensen did not evince a desire to
see any of them so they refrained from
visiting him at all.

doctor; Il only told what I saw in the
line Of my duty"
''Oh, that's al right" Mortensen re-
piled, with nervous laugh. Il was
only joking"
The march to death then began As
MOrtensen stepped down the corridor
between his guards he passed in front
Of the tier Of cells constituting "mur-
derers' row." just above.

mick" HawOrth, who is under death

so long, old boys he said. as he
passed through the door into the ante
room.
There Mortensen's wrists were
bound. He requested the newspaper
men TO leave MIN then, which they did
going around the north side Of the cell
house to the scene OF the execution.
A1Ortensen asked that his wrists be IN
bound, and this was done.
Mr. Mortensen,'' said Sheriff Emery.
sOlemnly, surrounded by guards, depu-
ties and physicians, at Is my duty to
ask you IL you have anything further

II have nothing more to say" was
the reply, except that am an limo
cent man."
The bandage was then placed over
his eyes and he was led out to his
death.

him. AS he spoke feelingly of Guard

away wiped his eyes There was a
suspicion Of a glisten in the eyes Of

Ten O'Clock came. the hour for the
execution. Sheriff Emery came down
the corridor. MOrtensen kept on speak

desperate effort 20 talk against time

He thanked one person after another
and then began to talk Of his wife and
