Half a Dollar in the Slot Will Open
Worlds Fair Turnstiles.

ST. LOUIS-It has been decided ~
the Worlds fair to install electrical
devices instead of having ticket sellers
and ordinary turnstiles during the eX-
position period.
The Lindell entrance will be the
main gate to the exposition. There
thirty-two turnstiles are being install
d, and through this entrance alone
it is estimated that at least 500 per
sons can pass every sixty seconds.
To gain admission to the grounds
a person must approach the turnstile
and place half dollar in a slot rms
money, as 1t descends, is sun visible
and releases a lever which unlocks
the turnstile. The person can then
pass through the gate and the minute
that he is inside the turnstile is lock
ed.
Individual gates are being installed
for children. At these turnstiles a
quarter will operate the mechanism.

Former Subject of England Passes
Away at ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS.-Without llith or kin
at his bedside, Thornton Fleetwood,
aged 70, claiming to have formerly
been a professor at Elton, England,
died Tuesday in the charity ward of
the city hospital. From the brief his
tory he was able to give the authori-
ties before his death, it is believed
that Fleetwood was utterly alone in
the world, having no relatives in Amer
lea or in England, from whence he
came to this country three years ago.
His apparent education and refine
ment attracted the attention of the
attendants and he was prevailed upon
to tell something of himself, but he
refused to say much concerning his.
life. He contracted severe cold,
which resulted in death Unless the.
body is claimed it is stated tRat in

THE KINKAID BILL
MEASURE REPORTED TO THE SEN
ATE AND is PASSED.
DIETRICH MAKES A STATEMENT
Thcreupon the Bill Goes Through at
Express Speed-The Rosebud Bill
Reaches White House-May Be Sign
ed Very Soon.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Kin
kalds bill giving intending homestead
crs the right to enter upon Gao acres
of land in certain counties in the
Fifth and Sixth congressional districts
of Nebraska was reported to the sen
ate Thursday by Senator Dietrich with
some slight notifications and passed.
1t is doubted if any bill has had any
such rapid course through congress
as the so-calcd Kinkaid bill.
Senator Dietrich in calling up the
bill, made a brief statement showing
that some 100000 acres of land in the
territory outlined in the bill was sub
ject to the provisions of the measure;
that under existing law it was wholly
impracticable to enter this land under
the present homestead laws for the
reason that 100 acres We're inadequate
to support family, but that If GAO
acres were permitted to be entered it
might be possible to support family
on this number of acres through cat
tie raising and dairying.
Senator Dietrich explained the bill
was only applicable to Nebraska and
applied to the great semiarid region
of mis- state. The senator's explana-
ton of the bill was clear, short and
directly to the point. He was asked
whether it changed existing home
stead laws and stated that it did not
except in one section outlined in the
bill.
Judge Kinkaid, when seen later, stat
ed the amendments made in the SEN
ate were entirely satisfactory to him
and that he would move to concur in
them when the bill came to the house.
Senator Dietrich, in view of the ac-
ton Wednesday by the public lands
committee, began a systematic can
vass of the committee, and when the
senate convened he was ready to re-
port the bill with the minor amend
ments suggested. His handling of the
bill was exceedingly diplomatic and
it's passage is due to his efforts in
meeting the objections and at the same
time retaining the vital features of
the Kinkaid bill, which it is thought
will largely increase the population of
the Sixth district and at the same
time be of incalculable benefit to the
business interests of Omaha and Lin
coin.
The Rosebud bill, which reached
the White House Thursday, has been
sent to the interior department for re.
port. While it is known that Com.
missioner Jones is opposed to the
measure, with probably some others,
there is no reason to doubt that Pres
ident Roosevelt will sign the measure
after he receives the report from Sec
rotary Hitchcock. While the report
may be in process of incubation for
several days, the South Dakota dele
cation believes the executive signature.
will be attached to the measure, and
this may come Friday.

THREE EXECUTED
THREE CAR BARN BANDITS ON
THE SCAFFOLD.
NlEDERMEYER THE FIRST TO GO
Marx and Van Dine Quickly Follow
All Three Of the Murderers Keep
Their Nerve and Show No Signs Of
Weakening.

CHICAGO, Ill-Compellod to be
carried to the scaffold, Peter Niedcr-
meyer, leader of the car barn ban
dts, was hanged here Friday at 1926
o'clock. Weak and pale but with a
slight suggestion of a smile, the ban
! dit failed to carry out his oft-repeated
boast that he would die before reach
! ing the gallows.
Hanging of his associates, Gustav
Marx and Harvey Van Dine, quickly
followed:
Although it was expected at first
that Niedermeyer would be able to
walk to the gallows with but little or
no assistance, it was found at the last
moment that he was too weak.
Straps were placed over his ankles,
and just above his knees. He was
then placed on a truck and wheeled
to one of the floors of the Jail, after
which he was carried to the scaffold,
and placed in chair on the trap.
He was not asked the customary ques-
ton if he had anything to say, and the
rope was quickly placed about his
uGIh. ne StlllGu HIS lCCh llllO llG
moose and the trap was sprung.
The body shot through the trap,
and for twenty minutes after it
moved convulsively, the physicians at
first being of the opinion that he was
strangling to deaIh, that the rope had
been placed too low. After examina-
ton, however, the physicians an
nounced that his neck had been brok-
en-.
Niedermeyer appeared on the scat.
fold wearing a red rose, but without
q coat. Previous to the execution and
during the reading of the death war
rant, Neidermeyer snatched the paper
placed it in a pocket and made re.
marks in anger at this time and once
or twice when he was being taken to
the scaffold.
Shortly after II o'clock Marx was
led to the scaffold Neatly dressed
and with a white rose as a button
iere, which had been given him by his
little sister the night before. He was
pale, but his courage never left him
While he stood on the scaffold. He
made no statement. Two priests OF
the Roman Catholic church, of which
Marx had become a member, accom-
panied him to the gallows. He re-
peated a litany with them, kissed a
crucitiX, after which the jailer sprang
the trap at I'LL He was pronounced
dead at 1874, his neck having been
| broken.
Harvey Van Dine was hanged a
short interval after his companion
Marx, few days before bitter enc
my of Van Dine, but now the best OF
friends in their last hours of life.
Incidents in Van Dimes execution
We're similar TO those that character
lied the execution of Marx. Like
Marx Van Dine was composed pre-
ceding his execution.

RUSSIA IN NEED or MONEY.

S2oO.ooo, 600.


LONDON.-Reports are again in cir

money. When the war broke out the
gold held abroad by the Bank of Rus
STA amounted to $S7,5O0.0O0 or this
amount S5O,OOO,O0O has been expended
and therefore, according to these re.
ports, it will soon be necessary to have
recourse to the gold held in the treas
ury.
According to a telegram from Brus-

of the ways and means conference at
St. Petersburg will be the issue of
$2O0,O00,0OO in 5 per cent treasury
bonds in Paris, Brussels and Amster.
