Three Attempts Upon The
Life OF Mrs Rogers
DID NOT PLAN MURDER
Claims That She Was Silent At
The Trial TO Shield
Another

Windsor, Feb. 3-Three unsuccess-
full attempts have been made to get
poison to Mary Rogers through let
ter, but each time the attempt has been
thwarted.
Yesterday Secretary OF Civil and
Military Affairs Charles T. Walter
went to Windsor and read the death
warrant and reprieve to Mrs Rogers
about s O'Clock.
During the evening she was taken
from the death cell to the cell she had
been occupying and will remain here
until two weeks before June next.
After being told OF the reprieve she
went 10 sleep and slept soundly for the
first time in over two weeks.
She has lost ten pounds in weight
since she was placed in the death cell,
and has eaten very little.
She sends a request through the
Banner thanking the Bennington
friends who tried to help her.
She does not deny her guilt but says
She refrained from telling the whole
story in order to save another. That
other is supposed to mean Morris
Knapp. She has told that she did not
plan the murder.
A few hours after receiving the last
rites of the Catholic church and hear
ing her father confessor read the pray
ers for the dying, Mrs Mary Mabel
Rogers, who was sentenced to die up
on the galiows today at Windsor, y s.
terday listened TO the announcement of
High Sheriff Henry p. Peck that Gov
Charles J. Bell had granted her a re-
prieve of four months.
The news from Montpelier that the
governor had consented to defer the
execution carried to the prison by an
Associated Press representative, came
as a surprise to the condemned woman
as we'll as to the prison officials.
The gallows had been erected in the
west wing of the prison, heavy black
curtain hanging from the guard room
windows, shutting the gruesome ma
chinery OF death from public view.
When the news of Gov Bells action
was carried to the prison, the officials
hesitated to believe the announcement
until Gov Bell called up K. w. Cakes,
the prison superintendent, by long

distance telephone, and formally noti-
fed him of the reprieve.
Yesterday forenoon Sheriff Peck was
on the verge Of collapse. The idea
of executing the woman was repugnant
to him and he had made every effort
to avoid it. The deputy sherifIs shar-
ed the nervousness of Sheriff Peck.
When Father Delaney visited the
prison in the morning yesterday he
found Mrs Rogers calmly awaiting
death. In the presence of the death
watch the priest administered
the last rites OF the church and spoke
words of comfort to the woman. Mrs
Rogers told the priest that she was re-
signed to her fate.
At 2.4l O'Clock Sheriff Peck, Supt
Cakes and States Attorney Batchel-
der appeared pefore the death cell
where they were joined by Chaplain
Fuller.
The sound of hammering reverbera
ted through the cell room. The prison
carpenters had begun to take down the
gallows as soon as the governors
message had been received, but the
woman in the cell heard the sounds
and supposed they we're caused by the
erection of the gallows on which she
wou d die the next day.
Mr. Rogers was seated at a table
writing letter to her mother. Appar.
emily supposing that the sheriff had
come TO read the death warrant. she
arose and moved toward the door OF
the cell.
Sheriff Peck had never seen Mrs
Rogers before that moment. Walking
up to the door he said, "Mrs Rogers,
l am the sheriff. ] have brought you
good news"
ST am glad to meet you Mr. Sheri fl,
said Mrs Rogers as she extended her
hand through the grating. 81 have
often heard of you but never met you
before. What is the good news?'

Gar Sanctions Proposals OF
Ministers
CHECK EVIL OFFICIALS
Rumor at st. Petersburg that
Document is as Sweeping as
Magma Charter

ST. PETERSBURG, Eeb. 3. The
committee of ministers, sitting at st.
Petersburg, has formulated and the
emperor has sanctioned a number OF
PROPOSALS looking toward the estab-
lishment of the senate upon basis OF
closer connection with the throne, doing
away with the administrative orders,
suspending certain laws and in other
ways checking the evils that have
arisen through the arbitrary acts Of
ministers or officials. The report that
Maxim Gorky has been released is diff
flcult of verifcation. If the rumor is
true the author has probably been re-
quested to leave st. Petersburg i'm
medatelv.
That the car has already signed a
document so sweeping in its scope as to
be termed the Magma Charta of Rus
STA is a rumor current at the capital,
but which is upconfirmed. 1t is per-
sistently stated. however, that En-
peror Nicholas has made important
concessions. Another report is that
prisoners in the fortress are to be re-
leased and the press permitted free
dom of utterance.
1t is also rumored that General Ire
poff will soon be removed from CON-
mand in st. Petersburg and sent to
the front and that NJ. Witte, if he is
appointed minister of the interior, as
expected, will inaugurate new era In
Russia.
A telegram from Czentochow, Rus
sian Poland, says all the factories there
are closed, and serious disturbances
are reported TO have occurred. The
Socialists are very strong there. The
Warsaw-Yienna railroad shops ara
closed. At PrusZkow 1,200 men struck.
All the factories are closed at Kalisz.
The strike at LODI continues.

you reprieve until June O." replied
the sheriff.
Mrs Rogers appeared as though un-
able to comprehend the meaning of the
words. Without sign of emotion she
gazed at the sheriff a moment and then
said, 81 had given up all hope, but
am glad that the governor has graz d
me more time He is good man."
Mrs Rogers then thanked the sher-
iff and his companions for the informa-
tlon they brought her. She seemed
unaffected by the tidings and as The
party moved away from the door of the
death CELL she returned to the table
and resumed writing.

In Anti Saloon League.

1903 to 1000 no votes in 1904.

Intense satisfaction is expressed

that President Roosevelt has selected
Hon Elihu Root of New York to sue

chief advisor. the cabinet member in

equally great is the satisfaction that
Mr.. Root, though at a sacrifice of the
great income which goes with his place
as the head of the New York bar, has
accepted the portfolio offered. 1t is a
matter of national congratulation that
the President has made so wise a
choice and that the man selected and
desired is willing to undertake the
task. Holf dozen strong men We're
mentioned in current talk for the posi-

but the famous LeanderS We're too

eral times in the past decade an Ameri-
sculls from Henley. tne trophy awarded
for the best individual oarsman, bur
never has the "ignt-oared world
championship been captured by Ameri-
cans at this famous regatta. 1t is the
only athletic sport in which our Ameri-
can athletes have not demonstrated
their superiority over the best that tn
Old World could bring forward. Eight
cared crews from Yale, Cornell and
Pennsylvania have in turn gone over TO
participate in the Henley races, just as
the Vespers crew of Philadelphia went,
this year. and though all OF them sue
ceeded in winning their preliminary
races, England had a better crew,
usually the Leanders, when it came to
the final heat. 1t is not at ali unlikely
that had the contest taken place IN
American waters, the AnIerican crew
would have been victorious in several
of these cases, but the change in eli
mate environments and methods of
training has proved too severe an un-
dertaking
There is no question that this years

also the eight -oared crews of Harvard
and Syracuse could have Beaten the

named could have beaten the Leanders

have not been at all hp5pitable to for
