CASE OF hurley.
It Has Attracted More Than Ordinary
Interest.

The case of Burnley, whose sentence the
President refused to commute today, has
attracted more than ordinary attention,
because it is the first case of its kind in
the District. Under the code the penalty
for rape is practically the same as that for
murder. Several cases Of the kind have
been tried since the code went into effect,
but Burley was the only defend ant who re-
ceived the ma ximum penalty
Since his conviction the Rev. John Rob-
erts of the colored Y. NJ. c. A. has devoted
considerable time to his case. The parson
has known Burley for number of years
and so much convinced was he that he
was of unsound mind that he has thus
far refrained from talking to him on relig
ious matters The Rev. Roberts has circu
lated a petition among friends of the con-
demned man and obtained many signatures
of persons who express the belief that
he is of unsound mind.
Rurley was arrested about a year ago
and was convicted of the felonious assault
of a colored girl named Ella Turner. The
assault was committed in Marion court. in
rear of the Mckinley Manual Training
School The Goth of this month Is the day
set for his execution.

Sunday Opening in GERMANY

one or the questions of considerable i'm
portance at the beginning of this year in
Germany was the question of Sunday onen-
ing in the city stores. Sunday is especially
the day when the peasants come from the
outlying towns and villages to do their
shopping. The several employees unions
and societies favored shorter hours on Jun
days. while many of the storekeepers de-
sired to treat Sunday as one of their best
business Gays, with many customers and
large receipts. 1t has finally been decided
and agreed that from Whitsuntide until
October 1 of each year the stores nav
be open on Sundays from IL o'clock until
suntide from II o'clock until 3 O'Clock and
that. in addition. the grocery and provision

NEW YORK LOCKOUT.
Went Into Effect Today-Haf OF the
Strikers Skilled Workmen.


NEW YORK. August s.-The Building
Trades Alliance. which comprises all the
yunions affected by the big lockout ordef
which went into effect today. at meetlns
this afternoon adopted q resolution provio-
ing for the reputation Of the general arni-
tration plan signed about one year ago by
representatives Of the Building Trades EN-
pIoyers' Association and members OF the
Building Trades Alliance.
In effect the resolution calls for the COM
p,ete denial on the part of the unions on
any arbitration plan or any plan binding
them to employers. 1t was stated at the
conclusion of the meeting that all Dig 1oos
in the city will be struck tomorrow
The lockout which was ordered by the
Building Trades Employers Association Is
a result Of an alleged violation OF an agree
ment entered into by the unions ana the
association about a year ago to submit all
questions to arbitration. Many strikes
have been ordered against members OF the
association during the past few weeks anu
the lockout order followed.
The lockout includes all of the unions De-
longing to the Building Trades Alliance.

Trades Employers Associa ton the war Is
being waged. except some OF the pias,ererS
and some of the painters.
The delegates were called out on Satur-
day by the walking delegates of the union
without authority.
One of the most serious situations in the
lockout of the building trades. If it is con-
tinued will be the failure to complete a
great many public schools in the five Dor
Oughs It will not only mean that over a
score of new schools, badly needed for the
growing population. will be uncompleted,
but a number of other schools, which are
now in use. but are undergoing repairs. will
be useless. thus making the accommoda-
tions much smaller than they have been In
years. This would necessarily cause an
enormous number of children to be put on
part time instruction. and in all probability
would make the capacity so congested that
many children could not attend school at
all.
Acting Mayor Fornes stated today that
he would invite the leaders on both sides to
Il conference. and ask them to agree to
finish the schools. regardless of their diff
ferenceS on other matters.
