IUrGE CLARK REFUSES.
Will Not Grant Writ of Error in DAN
ieIS Case.

Chief Justice Walter Clark refuses the
APPLICATION of Col. ]. c. L. Harris and his
son, Mr. Charles u. Harris, to Chief JUS
tice Clark for a writ of error in the find
ing of no error by the Supreme Court in
the decision of the lower court which SEN
fenced to death Alfred Daniels, the ne
gro convicted of the murder of the father
of Senator Simmons.
The writ OF error in the case
was asked by the Messrs Harris so as to
take the case to the United States Su-
preme Court, their application being that
the negro Daniels felt aggrieved by the
judgment and decision of the Supreme
Court, and wanted the case to be heard
by the United States Supreme Court so
that the errors which he claimed existed
should be corrected and reversed.
The effort is to bring before the United
States Supreme Court the allegation that
because OF color and race negroes We're
excluded from the jury that tried Daniels,
and in so doing to invoke the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution. 1t is UNI
derstood that as the Messrs. Harris can't
get a writ of error they vii now make
direct application to the United States SUI
preme Court in their effort to save tina
life of the negro, whose day of execution
is to be named by the Governor
Judge Clark rules that no Federal ques-
ton is involved.

Lewis Morrison himself, as Mephisto IN
Faust will present this famous charac-
ter for the last time here on tonight at
the Metropolitan Theatre.
While the world endures Goethe's tragic
story Of Faust and Marguerite Will con
tinue to live. The story has been cele-
brated in song and in its operate form
has been elaborately staged for many
years, but il has remained for Lewis Nor
rison to present it in worthy dramatic
form with all the effects and accessories
necessary to make it effective. Mr..
Lewis Morriso assumes the role OF Me-
phisto and make him a jolly, jovial devil,
well calculated to tempt the souls OF men
with the glamour of forbidden pleasures
The scenic effects are most elaborate
and serve to acentuate the dramatic sit
uatiOns in vivid manner The electrical
effects produce some astonishing and
notable surprises. At the end OF the first
act when Mephisto eXults over the cap
ture of the soul of Faust, amid darkness
and thunder a blazing cross appears over
the cathedral door. In the garden scene,
again the flowers burst into bloom by
electricity, an din the duel scene, when
Mephisto comes to the aid of Faust the
flashing steel produces pale Dlue electric
flame giving q weird effect, which beaches
q climax in the scene of the carnival on
the Broken, where the electric fluid
plays an important part, ending in show
er Of electric fire, and in the closing
scene. where the angel Marguerite is
bearing the form of Faust heavenward.
Mr.. Morrison is supported by an excellent
company of players.

day when by a vote of As to 16, the nom
iuation was confirmed.
The late Senator Hanna was recognized
as the leader Of the forces opposed to
General Wood and had it not been for his
death before the disposition of the case
it is conceded that the vote would have
been much closer. II has not been be-
leved at any time since the contest open
ed, however, that the fight against con-
firmation would have been successful.
Only two Republicans remained in the
minority They were Senator Scott, Il
