MERCHANTS PLEAD FOR CHINA
Clam That Exclusion Law Will Hurt
Trade With Orient.

NEW YORK, June 14.-The Mer-
chants association mas appealed to
President Roosevelt to negotiate,
through congress, a new treaty with
China, which, while providing for the
proper regulation Of undesirable i'm
migration, would permit freedom of
entry and domicile on the part of the
Chinese not of the 1aboring class.
"The most important outlet for the
American manufacturers, particularly
cotton goods" says the association,
"and the market which promises an
immense expansion in the near future,
is China, whose mercantile classes,
justly incensed by arbitrary exclusion,
under the laws of the United States
passed in defiance of treaty obliga-
tons, threaten reprisals by refusing to
trade with the United States manu-
facturers, or to employ United States
steamships for carriage"

REPORT ON FIRELESS STOVE.
War Department Interested in Expert
ments With Device.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE war
department mas received report upon
the fireless stove from Captain Mich
ael S. Murray Of the subsistence de-
partment of the army, on duty at Fort
Riley, Kas., where he has been con-
Quoting experiments with the device.
Some weeks ago the state depart
ment learned through consular agent
of a method of cooking without the aid
of fuel 1t was a development of an
old Norwegian method, exhibited years
ago as an automatic kitchen.
The process employs the use of nay
packed as a lining of box and renew
ed every three or four weeks. The
food which has been taken from the
real stove and placed in pots is trans
ferred to the hay box, where the cook
ing is continued Captain Murray dis
covered that in baking beans the oper-
alton required several hours on the fire.
whereas, when the fireless stove is
used, five minutes of boiling is suffi-
cient, and the remainder of the SERVE
is rendered by the hay box.

MAN PARDONED FROM
THE PENITENTiARY CANNOT
BE IDENTIFIED
Was Convicted Under Assumed Name
Claimed That He Is tho Son Of
Prominent Seattle Family

Considerable mystery has developed
regarding the identity of Frank r..
Sidwell, pardoned from the state pen
itetiary by Governor Mead last week.
Sidwell was convicted at Tacoma on
a charge of forgery, and was received
at the penitentiary March 3, 1904, to
serve a sentence of two years. Sidwell
is not the true name of the pardoned
man, but beyond this little is known
Of the young man except that he is
the son Of a prominent Seattle family,
and prior to his conviction on a charge
of uttering forged checks, held a high
position with a Tacoma firm. Sidwell
is an expert stenographer and account
ant, and during the time spent in the
penitentiary he was employed as a
clerk in the warden's office.
Immediately upon being released
from the penitentiary Sidwell boarded
the w. & c. r. train and left for the
sound.

PHONE USED TO STOP DEATH.
Iowa Murderer Saved at the Last Mo-
ment by an Appeal

DES MONIES, June 14.-Just in
time to stop what would have been the
first legal hanging in Iowa in ten years
an appeal was filed with the supreme
court in the case of Charles Rocker Of
Rock Rapids.
Rocker was to have been hanged at
Anamosa, but half hour before the
time set the papers for an appeal ar
rived and a long distance telephone
message was sent to call off the hang
ing. Rocker killed his wife's former
husband.
The last legal hanging in Iowa took
place at Anamosa in 1895. James Doo-
ley, an 1S-year-old boy, was executed
then. Governor Jackson signed the
death warrant, but no governor since
that time has done it.
1t is believed by Rockers friends
that Governor Cummins will commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment if
the appeal to the supreme court fails.

MURDERER PAsouALE sEcoMss
0EsPoNDENT OVER THE DIS.
MISSAL OF APPEAL
Found Lying Unconscious in His Cell
IN Tacoma Jail and Revived With
Great Difficulty.

Despondent over the dismissal az nh
appeal by the supreme court, Frank
Pasquale. the Pierce county condemned
murderer who will shortly be brought
to the Walla Walla penitentiary to b.
hanged, tried to end his troubles by
hanging himself in his cell at the
county Jail in Tacoma yesterday.
He was found lying unconscious on
the floor by Deputy Steuso when he
went to unlock the cell doors at z
o'clock in the morning.
Dr. Quevli was hastily summoned
and worked over the man nearly an
hour, when he succeeded in resusticat-
ing him.
Pasquale mad secured a small piece
of rope from his bed and had lengthen.
ed it out with some leather shoe strinss
thus making it long enough to 20
around his neck and make fast to tae
bar of his Cell door, about six feet from
the floor.
The rope broke and let him fall to
the floor.
1t is thought he must have made the
attempt early in the morning, though
some of the persons on the same floor
say they heard something fall about
midnight.
Pasquale has been very Respondent
since hearing that his appeal had been
dismissed by the supreme court. He
complains, too, it is said of the iniif-
ference of the Seattle attorney whom
he employed to conduct the case In
the supreme court.
When the jailer went to give him his
medicine in the forenoon after the at
tempted suicide, he declined to take
it, and said he didn't want to live any,
way, and might as we'll go now.
Pasquale was convicted of the muir
der of Gray, an insurance agent, near
the Northern Pacific freight house at
the head of the bay, in Tacoma, last
August.
He was sentenced to be hanged, but
the date was not fixed, and his case
was appealed to the supreme court.
During the intervening time Pasquale
has been in the county Jail.
Failure on the part of his attorney
to prosecute the appeal resulted in its
dismissal and the condemned man has
lost hope.

1T is SAID GOVERNOR WANTS TO
BE SENATOR LEVI ANKENY'S
SUCCESSOR IN OFFICE
Ross Would Like to Step Into the
Governors Plaee-Are Working
Together AssiduousIy.

Land Commissioner E. w. Ross is
planning to succeed Governor Mead.
He is working to secure the next NOM
nation for lieutenant governor on the
and to make deal that would subse-
quently elect Mead@as the successor
to Senator Levi Ankeny and make it
possible for the land commissioner to
slip into the gubernatoria1 chair, is
the story that comes from the sound.
This is the reason that Ross has
been playing politics with Mead for
months, and it explains why Ross is
anxious to wipe out as much as possible
Of the Ankeny machine and to clean
up Lieutenant Governor Coon's or
ganization. The temptation that is
held out to Governor Mead is more
than the Whatcom county attorney can
resist. He will be with Ross in his
fight, unless in the meantime another
stronger organization springs up to
offer him more alluring bait.
Mead has given scant attention to
the Ankeny following in this state
The few appointments which have
gone to that wing have been given
grudgingly, because an open rupture
would have occurred if he had ignored
the Ankeny crowd altogether. His
efforts to placate Wilson have been
made with the idea originally in view
that the perennial candidate had saved
him from defeat at the polls and would
continue to work in his machine.
preferment. Both are ambitious to sit
in the senate, and it is only question
of time when the two will come to a
showdown and a break will follow.
The seriousness of such a break de-
ponds upon the strength of Mead's
friends. Wilson will whip Mead back
into line if the governor is left alone.
Why Ross Deserted Ankeny
Ross was originally in the Ankeny
following. Ross cannot figure any po-
litical advantage ne enjoyed that is
not traceable to the Ankeny influence.
But he f1irted with all the senatorial
aspirants prior to the last state con-
vention and subsequently went over
to Wilson without reservation. 1t
promised more to Ross at the time.
The fact that Ross stands close to

Casts Aside Frock for LimeIights

OWENSBORO, KY, June 14.-Rev.
J. F. Milbank, until recently a priest
in charge of Trinity Episcopal church
in this city, has returend to mis- home
in a suburb of Chicago, and will in a
few days begin rehearsals for drama
to be produced this season. He has
cast aside his clerical robes and will
take up his chosen calling on the stage.
The final determination to abondon the
ministry was made after consultation
with Bishop Woodcock of the Ken
lucky diocese.

the governor and that the two are now
working in harmony was indicated in
the fight over the Port Townsend water
bonds, when Ross broke mis- pledges
and fought the sale. Ross is under
stood to nave influenced the governor
in the stand he took. There has, in
any event, been close harmony between
the two since.
Both Ross and Mead have seen other
machines in action and each is anx
ious to head a new organization. A
deal that would make Mead a sena
torial possibility and Ross his sue
cessor would meet the desires and am
billions of each.
Mead had hard work to keep out of
the last senatorial contest. He liked
to sit around and hear the gossip that
suggested his name as that of a COM
promise candidate, and Mead likes the
the weak point with which Ross has
to play upon with the governor, and
the land commissioner, reaching out
for more power, realizes it, and is
planning to take advantage Of his op-
portunity.
The two state officials were brought
closer together at the outset by the
fact that each was tied up with Wilson.
Later when the split came in the cap
itol over the Port Townsend water
bonds, Ross and Mead were thrown
into an alliance 1t is to build up this
alliance that Ross and Mead are now
working.
To Overthrow Piles Organization
All his later appointments have been
made by the governor with view Of
building up a personal machine. The
land commissioner has his own per-
-onal organization we'll in hand and
the program is to merge them. By
playing Mead for first place and the
more important Office of senator, Ross
hopes to win his fight for lieutenant
governor and ultimate succession to
Mead. With the state patronage to
barter for place in the senate, he
cannot see any loophole in the scheme.
The two men are planning to fight
powerful organization that has been
effected for the next campaign. At the
time of his election Senator Piles made
an agreement to line up with the An
keny-Sweeny forces for a period of six
years, covering the election of a sue
cessor to Ankeny and the reelection
of himself Add to the alliance Of the
two senators the strength Of the con-
gressmen who will be candidates for
denomination, which would be in the
bitter opposition to Mead and Ross
and one of the strongest political or
CARNATIONS the state has known will
be lying in wait for the Mead-Ross
combine in the convention of 1908.
That is the opposition Ross proposes
to overcome through the joint state
machine.

DID YOU KNOW 1T?
Biggest Sign in Gotham Is at Twenty
third Street and Fourth Avenue

Does anybody know the size Of the
biggest sign in New York? It's at the
corner of Twenty-third street and
Fourth avenue and is ITS feet long.
says the New York Sun. 1t is the sign
of the. ]. Walter Thompson Advertise
ing agency.
On inquiry it turned out that the
size of the sign was practically an ac-
cident. Moving from the old Times
building to new offices at the corner
of Twenty-third street and Fourth av-
enue, an order was given for a sign.
How big a sign do you want" was
the signmakers' query. big enough,
he was told, ito run the whole length
of the office front" You'll have the
biggest sign in New York." he replied.
"a sign IT'S feet long,"
Even this measurement of frontage
can convey no adequate idea OF the
office space behind it, $4,000 square feet
upon one floor, and every foot of space
a business necessity.
It has taken 40 years of steady
growth for the business Of the ]. Wal
ter Thompson company to reach its
present prestige and prominence. when
it counts over 500 active customers AZ
it's clients, and among them many
whose names are known to every
reader in the land-the representative
advertisers of the country.
There may be some yet who doubt II
advertising pays, but there can be no
doubt If advertising pays II Thomp-
son does it. The best proof OF this 10
that every step Of the growth OF the
j. Walter Thompson agency has de-
pended on the profit made from Gus
toners by the Thompson plan OF pub
licity. So that the big advertising sign
of the big advertising business points
a moral to advertisers: Advertising
pays when Thompson does It.

Abou, Connecticut Tobacco.

The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco
as grown under cheesecloth in Con-
necticut is one OF the romantic epis-
odes Of agriculture, says q writer in
Country Life in America. A Florida
fruit grower had got some tobacco
plants that got into his pineapple seed
by accident and he noticed that they
were taller and of finer texture under
the lath shade. The bureau of soils.
while surveying the Connecticut val
ley, found a soil that was practically
the same as that OF Sumatra. on which
the famous tobacco is grown. tThe
bureau has samples of soil from al
most every important agricultural re-
gion Of the world) The government
got an expert to start an Industry and
the next two years some of the grow.
