MARY ROGERS CASE.

The Vermont legislature has refused
10 stand between Mary Rogers and the
carrying out Of the sentence Of death
That is a remarkable fact, and Tor near

Vermont. Time after time in that Pc

Never ii that period has the assembly
failed TO turn listening ear to the cry
Of the miserable petitioners and never
in that time has it failed either to com
mute the sentence to life imprisonment
or to send the condemned persons to
the insane asylum, This time, how

The intent OF the constitution, the
spirit of our theory Of government, and
the plain terms Of the law give to the
governor the initiative in the matter Of
appointments. He has the power to

conferred upon the Senate is not ini-
tiative but advisory. The Senate may
refuse to confirm, but it cannot pro-
pose. In this instance, the Senate is
doing nothing more or less than fatty

SQUEEZING POOR
Meat Prices Being Pushed
Higher In Large
Cities.
ON ACCOUNT OF STRIK e
Increase Runs From Two to Four
Cents Per Pound---E urther
Raise Expected.
A Meat Famine Is Expected---Large
Quantities Being Held In
Storage.

Chicago, July 13.-As the result OF
stubborn disagreement chiefly over
wages for unskilled labor, one OF the
most extensive strikes in the history
of the packing industry of the United
States began yesterday in Chicago,
Kansas City, st. Joseph, Mo-, and
other cities where large packing
plants are located. If prolonged the
strike is expected tC ca~3e widespread
inconvenience, possibly eQualling the
anthracite coal famine of two years
ago. The unanimity OIL the strike was
complete. More than $4,000 employees
are directly involved. In Chicago
alone $4,000 men are on strike.
The effect of the strike upon the
food supply of the country and the
price of meats is being earnestly dis
cussed, notwithstanding announce
ment has been made that the packing
houses, contrary to somewhat genera
expectation, will continue operations
without any closedOwn, employing
whatever help may be obtainable
How much alienation in the furnish
ing of supplies to the public this
course may afford, is matter of wide
variation of opinion.

Close to Meat Famine.

New York. July 13.-As soon as the
retail butchers in this city learned
that strikes had been ordered in the
meat packing plants in many of the
large cities, they at once began to ad-
vance the price Of meat from two to
three cents a pound. This was gener-
ally in the tenement sections on the
east and west sides of the city. H. l..
Echelberger, general organizer of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen Union of America,
predicted that within three days there
will be a meat famine in this city.

THE STARBUCK TRAGEDY
Efforts to Get Clue to Murder Una
VaiIinq.

Greensboro, Ind, July -. The
mystery surrounding the death of
Mrs. William Starbuck and her four
teen months old babe is as great as
ever. Sheriff Christopher came here
and arrested young man by the
name of Haley Gipe, who is sort OF
ne'er-do-well. What charge the sheriff
has placed against him is not known,
but so far as the people here know
there is no evidence that would JUS
tify his arrest on the charge of killing
the young woman and her babe. Some
people here believe that the woman
committed suicide and took the babe
with her into the well. But the cir
cumstances surrounding it are such
that the majority of the people be-
lieve that it was murder The &C.
cepted theory is that the motive was
robbery.
1t is said that Mrs. Starbuck's death
was caused by fright. The physicians
also say that she was put in the we'll

her to regain consciousness, and it
was then that she began to scream.
