KNOX SECURES DECREE
Attorney General Anxious to Send
Judgment to St. Paul.

ing, WASHINGTON .- d.. -


Washington, April 14.-To-day the
thirty days were up which the su-
preIae court requires before issuing its
DEGREES and Attorney General Knox,
ever Watchful, had messenger at the
capitol bright and early to get a copy
of the decree of the court in the
merger case.
Mr.. Knox came to his office earlier
than usual in order to receive the de-
cree and 1t is understood his desire is
to get 1T into the hands of the federal
court of Minnesota at the earliest pos
sible moment, SO that the court may
have official knowledge Of it's existence
during the tendency Of the Hartman
suit
Mr.. Knox is not assuming that the
Hartman suit may end to-day or to-
morrow. He wants to take nc
chances of that sort. It is believed
here that Mr.. Knox wired District At.
| torney Haupt that the decree would be
forwarded to st. Paul at once.

TOOK CENSUS
OF The RIVER
GERMS IN SAMPLES FROM MIS-
sIssIPPI ARE COUNTED.
Results Show That Water From Gem
ter of Stream lis More Nearly Free
From Contamination - Suspicious
Colon Bacilli Found in All Of the
Fifteen Samples Taken.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL tests of fifteen sam
pies of water taken from the river on
the same day will give the water spe-
cialists something to ponder over. IN
general they show that water taken
from the center of the stream or IN
water from the shore, but this rule Is
not infallible. In the main, however,
the safest place to take water from a
stream appears to be away from
shore.
Health Commissioner P. M. Hall and
DR.. J. Frank Corbett, who TOOK the
samples and DR.. Elizabeth Wood
worth, who assisted Dr. Corbett IN
making the tests, have drawn no con-
clusions and merely submit the facts.
Eleven samplese were taken at va
rious points in the river from the
Northeast station to the boom COM
panys sorting gap two miles above.
Only one sample was very near shore.
At the same time, Inspector w. D. Nc
forebay at the Northeast station. from
the we'll at the North station and
from the reservoir.
The bacterial count varied some
what in the water taken from the
strong current, but at the same time
ran evenly between 200 and ESQ colo
MES cubic centimeter. In one sam
pie the count ran up to 440 colonies
This was the only sample taken close
| to the shore and conditions at thai
point seemed to favor bad water.
Water in the forebay and the vel
at the northeast station showed fewer
colonies than water taken from the
stream, and this may be due to 6
slight sedimentation in both places.
Six Days Tests.
| The results of six days tests shows
that the average number of colonie:
in water at the Northeast station was
| 1872, at the North station $50 and a.
the reservoir 10 and it would seem t.
be a. fact that the North station gets
better water from the middle of the
stream than the Northeast station get'
| from the shore.
| Colon Bacilli There.
| Colon bacilli were found in all thu
| fifteen samples. The bacter1ologlst
have been unable to isolate any ty
phoid germs but the presence of an!
number Of colon baclll1 makes I'M
| water suspicious.

FLOUR MILLS TO RESUME

The Minneapolis flour mills, new closed,
will probably resume grinding at half ca
pacity on Monday. Millers say the situa-
ton is not much improved, and much
business is lost every day on account Of
freight rates.
Recent strength in wheat has stimulated

A new Hebrew beneficial organization,
known as the Hebrew Laborers associa-

procession is preceded by an officer who
proclaims the name Of the offender, his
crime and the names Of the prosecuting
witnesses, who demands that all persons
who know Of any reason why the SEN
tence should not be carried into effect
should make them manifest. Should
anyone offer to produce evidence bear
ing upon the defendants s innocence, a
signal is given by the fiagman, and the
convict is again brought before the court
who hear the new testimony. Even the
convict s own statement that he has
something new to offer is needed and he
is reconducted to the court. And a sec
ond request to be again brought before
the court is granted and he is again
heard When the defendant has twice
had a rehearing upon his own request,
and the court has refused to reopen the
case, upon again being conducted for
execution, he is accompanied by two
learned men, who pass upon further re-
quests for rehearing. If these deem
the defendant statement of sufficient
Importance, he is once more returned to
the court When the convict is within
ten PAGES of the scaffold, the prosecutors
say to him, ''Confess thy sins; everyone
who confesses has part in the world to
come; for thus it is written of Achan, to
whom Joshua said, My son, give now
glory to the God of Israel =" If he can
not offer any formal confession, he need
only say: "May my death be redemp
ton for all my sins" TO the last the
culprit is supported by marks of pro-
found and awful sympathy. The ladies
of Jerusalem formed society which
provided beverage of mixed myrrh
and vinegar, that, like an opiate, be-
numbed the man when he was being car
ried to execution.
There are no official executioners. The
witnesses to the crime prosecute the
criminal and execute him. When they
are unable to do this then bystanders
are obliged to carry the judgment of the
court into effect.
The body of the executed criminal
must be buried soon after execution, but
not in the general cemetery; special
places are devoted to such purposes.
The relatives are not allowed to wear
outside marks of mourning, but they are
to call on the prosecuting witnesses and
the court, and manifest their personal
adherence of the crime and approval of
the action of the court.
No sentence carries with it any cor
ruption Of the blood or confscation of
property, and all property descends to
the heirs as in other cases.

count also only as one. When the court
is so divided that an acquittal cannot be
had on that day, it adjourns to the next
day In the meantime the judges may
partake of food, but they must drink
nothing of an Intoxicating nature. In
rcarguing the case on the succeeding day
any judge who had previously voted for
conviction may change his vote and state
his reasons, but he who has spoken for
acquittal, while he may change his opin-
ion is not permitted to give his reasons.
All the participants in the debate are
strictly enjoined not to disclose the opin-
ions of the different members of the
court. When judgment is reached, the
prisoner is brought before the bar and
the chief judge declares it. If it is in
favor of the defendant, he is at once dis
charged, but if he is found guilty he is
also at once led forth to execution. The
finding Of guilty operates as the SEN
tcnce. A judgment of guilty may be re-
versed, but that Of acquittal can under
no circumstances be disturbed. This is
also the rule in the United States.
On the day on which the conviction in
a capital case takes place, the judges are
not allowed to partake Of any food or
drink.
Though the trial was conducted and
the judgment of guilty arrived at in ac-
cordance with all the rules of law, it
sufficient new evidence in favor of the
defendant is found or if the judgment
is found to rest on a mistake of law or
if even the convict himself declares that
he has something to say in his own favor,
the court is required to reopen the case.
and afford the defendant an opportunity
for a new trial.
The penalty of the law is carried into
effect before sundown of the day upon
which the finding of guilty was had, and
this upon humane principles, as it was
thought that the time between convic-
ton and execution is the most terrible
period to the convict.
The punishment for crime was not
looked upon by the Hebrews as retri-
button for the unlawful act, neither as
making amends, nor as a vindication Of
the majesty Of the law, but it was based
rather upon the modern theory of warn
ing to others.
The place Of execution is located at
some distance Of the court house, one
writer says not less than 5000 PAGES, and
outside of the city limits, to avoid the
appearance of the judges participating
in the execution, and also to afford the
convict last opportunity for meeting
some circumstances that might lead to
rehearing of his case A flag bearer is
