Lincoln, June 14.-There is a bare
possibility that Frank Barker will not
be hanged in the penitentiary next

would perfect an immediate appeal to

a stay may be granted. Four physi
clans who examined Barker are di
yided in opinion, two declaring him
sane and two questioning his respon
sibility.

Stake Boats Not to Be Used.

Use of stake boats in the standardizing
of screws of vessels of the United States
navy has been practically abandoned and
a system of standardization has been found
which works satisfactorily. By this sys-
tenn the vessel is run back and forth over
a measured mile which enables the observ-
ers to make the necessary calculations and
to obtain results which are even more
nearly accurate than those obtained by the
use of stake boats. In the past the navy
has frequently been put to some trouble to
obtain a sufficient number of vessels for
use as stake boats in view of the increas-
ing frequency of the trials.
