NEBRASKAN WILL BE
HIS OWN EXECUTlONER
Penitentiary Warden Has Plan for
Condemned Man to Spring
Death Tran
epecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LINCOLN, Neb, June s. - Frank
Barker, convicted of the murder of his
wife, and now incarcerated in the Ne
braska penitentiary awaiting the moose
of the hangman for his double crime,
is to be his own eXecutioner.
The decree of the Nebraska supreme
court, which has reviewed Barker 8
case and affirmed the finding of the
jury and the trial court, has fixed the
execution for Friday June 16. The Law
Nebraska shall be at the penitentiary,
under the supervision of the warden.
1t does not specify, however, that the
warden or any other person shall spring
the trap. In Barker'c case Warden
Beemer shrinks from the duty, as do
the other officials at the penitentiary.
But Barker has stepped into the
breach and Informed the warden that
he will be his own hangman. Barker
has frankly confessed that he is guilty.
He even admits that he deserves the
punishment which the law prescribes.
The arrangements for the execution
provide that one of the warden's assis-
tants is to adjust the black cap and
place the rope about the condemned
mans neck. An electrical contrivance
is to control the trap, connected with a
wire running into Barker's hands. The
latter will be strapped to his hips, but
he will have free use of his fingers, and
will much the hutton relea sing the tran

PRESS CHANGES ITS TONE
Leading Russian Papers Discuss Ad-
visibility of Ending War

IoS ASSOCldleu ITeSS.
ST. PETERSBURG, June S.-There
is a significant change of tone on the
part of some of the Russian news
papers which, like the Novoe Vremya,
have never admitted the possibility of
OF the conclusion of hostilities until
Russia has recovered her military
prestige by a victory. Today the pa
pers discuss calmly the advisability of
ending the war if Japans terms are
reasonable. The payment of a big in
demnity they declare would be too
thumilitatihg. "r @r'' '7"'r"'
Regret Delcasse's Retirement
The Novoe Vremya says bluntly that
if Japan asks too much it will pay
Russia to prolong the contest indefin-
itely, while the Russ argues that if rep
resentatives of the people are called to-
gether Japan will see herself confront
ed by the whole nation and she will
readily agree to reasonable terms.
Even the revolutionists," the Russ
adds, 'are not traitors. They are fight
ing the present rotten bureaucracy and
not the mother country; they would not
tolerate a disgraceful peace"
Universal regret is expressed in Of
fetal circles at the retirement of NJ.
Delcasse, until recently French min
lister of foreign affairs. He was re-
garded as a true friend of Russia, was
a personal friend of Foreign Minister
Count Lamsdorff and was a sincere
and unequivocal supporter of the dual
alliance. The Novoe Vremya says:
1--WE know how to appreciate true
friends; we have so few of them.''
The Russ and the Slovo consider M,
Delcasse to be the victim of trying to
play the impossible role of connecting
link between two rivals-Russia and
Great Britain. The Slovo says: IN,
Delcasse's policy was ever directed
toward the isolation of Germany, but
he forgot that an alliance with Great
Britain will ruin any political system
aimed against Germany. The British
alliance has not helped France in
Morocco, but'it has embroled her with
Germany. M. Delcasse pays the pen
atty by retiring. as complications can
be more easily avoided with him out
of the cabinet, and his retirement will
not affect the dual alliance"
