HEADSMAN OF PARIS
CHE[RED BY MERCY
Communication of Spino's Sen.
tence Ends Deiblo's Search
for GuiIlotine Site.

PARIS, March 20.-Deiblo, the Paris
| headsman, now breathes more freely
| and is no longer seeking place in
| which to erect his guillotine for the
condemned murderer Spino.
The cause of Deiblos peace Of mind
is that President Loubet committed
Francois Spinos sentence of death to
imprisonment for life. The French
president has declared, it is said, that
! no man shall be put to death during
his presidency. Deiblo's position,
therefore, becomes sinecure. The
Prison de la Rouquette, in front of
which the guillotine stood for years.
was torn down and the conditions did
not permit guillotining taking place at
the old stand.
Deiblo set himself to work to find
machine. Every time that he picked
out a spot that seemed suitable cry
went up from the people in that vi
entity, and he was compelled to make
retreat after retreat in his cherished
desire. Then came the sentence to
death of Spino and the matter of find
ing place for the knife and block be-
came more urgent.
ton. He passed sleepless nights in
trying to arrange for the coming of
the promenade to the widow" as the
guillotine is called. Every quarter of
Paris was equally opposed to having
the honor of the execution. The law
provides that capital punishment
must be public, and on the night be-
fore an execution crowds assemble
about the guillotine in order to hold
points of vantage, drinking and revel-
ling. During the execution they sing
and dance madly about the scaffold.
Naturally no one cares to have these
awful scenes brought to their doors,
hence the objection to "the widow"
Deiblo was in a predicament in 1902
when he was to put to death B1daud
and could find no place for his ma
chine. Loubet committed Bidauds
sentence, but he held off so long on
Spino's fate that IN. de Paris" de-
SPARED Of having the sentence COM
muted. Now he is perfectly happy.
In 1902 tremendous mass meetings
were held throughout France to adj
vocate the abolition of the death pen
atty, President Loubet, who has al
ways been so much affected by an
execution that he could not sleep for
many nights before and after it's oc-
currence, was heartily in favor of the
movement and has since determined
to follow the precedent set by Presi-
dent Grevy of committing the SEN
tence in each case to imprisonment.
Deiblo says that he, too, is against
the death penalty, but excuses his own
occupation by saying "a man has to
live hasn't he?"

Max Luttbeg, the German wrestler, VINO
is matched to meet the Cuban Wonder
at Mozart hall Thursday night in con-
test for the worlds middleweight cham
pionship, arrived in ST. Paul yesterday,
and will put ON the finishing touches OF
his training in this city, probably at the
Amateur Athletic club.
The German will have little training to
do here, however, as he is already in
splendid condition, and will only do
enough work to keep himself in shape
Luttbeg, after his arrival last night, said
he was never in better condition in his
life and he expressed himself as confident
of his ability to wrest the championship
from the Cuban when they meet this
week.
This is match 1 have been looking
forward to for a long time said the
German. land I am in good condition
for it. I know the Cuban is a hard propo-
sition and that 1 will have to go some to
win, but believe can do so. l have
many friends in the East who have seen
the Cuban wrestle, and while they admit
that he is one of the best in the BUSH
ness they are willing to back me with
their money, and what is more they are
doing It,"
So anxious was Luttbeg for a match
with Bouldin that he Cancelled several en-
gagements in the East, where he has been
for some time He realizes that the mid
dleweight championship means much to
him and that this is his chance of life
time to possess himself of the title.
Luttbeg and the Cuban met last night,
but aside from sizing each other up,
talked but little. The Cuban is still train
ing hard at the Y. M. c. A., and his
match with Moth at Minneapolis tonight
is not worrying him to any great extent.
Bouldin figures that the best the Min
neapolis man can do will be to give him
a good workout, and his training is be-
ing done with the Thursday night match
in view.
Bouldin while not willing to admit that
Luttbeg will win, stated last night after
his talk with him, that the German ap-
peared to be in good form prepared to put
up strong game on the mat.
Luttbeg will go over to Minneapolis to-
night to watch the match between the
Wonder and Moth, and in this manner
to get a line on the Cuban's style of
wrestling Bouldin said last night that he
expected the match Thursday night to be
one of the hardest he has ever been up
against.

OWATONNA, MIMI, March 20.-The

the fire burned the roots of the grass
in the ground, destroying it for grazing

six miles wide by twelve miles long,
another more than twenty miles long
and very wide, while another strip,
still burning north of the Niobrara riv-

ceive the amounts from her husband.
Her lawyer, C. T. Cowenhoven, it is I'M

bring suit on Koch's band, making the
bondsman responsible. The officials did
not do this and as Koch d d not pay any

1t appears from a tabulated statement
Of the results of the annual target prac-

the gunners of our fleet have attained
a very high degree Of accuracy. This
Is particularly true with regard to guns
of iye-ineh caliber and upward. The
north Atlantic and the Asiatic battle
ship squadrons have distinguished
themselves by records of 1927 per cent.
and 1924 per cent, respectively. The
cruisers have not done so well as the
baftleships. The explanation is simple
enough. The larger vessel constitutes
a steadier gun platform In a seaway,
and, its guns being placed higher, more

sion is emphasized by the fact that the
