WAS CONSCIOUS AFTER
THE TRAP WAS SPRUNG
DOCTOR SAYS SIGNALS WE'RE
GIVEN BY MURDERER
Moves Hands as Agreed Upon Before
the Hanging, Indicating That He
Kept His Mental Faculties for
Fully a Half Minute
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Dec. 2S.--Dr
Carlton Simon, who witnessed the
hanging yesterday of Edwin +. Tap
ley, jr., declares that the murderer
gave the prearranged signals in proof
that he was conscious nearly half a
minute after the trap had been
sprung.
DIR. Simon said.
THE actual test on the gallows was
most successful Tapley was absolutely
in possession of his mental faculties.
THE hands and fingers of the dang.
ling body moved with convulsive con-
fractions. Then the hands fell rigid
at the sides.
Five seconds passed. and then Tap
ley began the signals agreed upon be-
tween us.
"'The first signal came az Tapley
holding the left hand extended rigidly
downward, raised the right slowly
and far as the bonds permitted him
and made three distinct contractions of
the thumb and forefinger. Then, with
clearly determined effort, the dying
man lowered his right hand, held II
for an instant rigdly against his
thigh and slowly raising the left hand
repeated the signal.
AT the third contraction of the left
hand there seemed barely strength In
the dying fingers to carry out the
agreed program.
"To any man of scientific knowledge
viewing this test with a full knowledge
of all the governing conditions, the
following conclusions are inevitable:
Namely, that Tapley was alive and
in conscious torture for nearly half q
minute after the fall of the trap.
THAT he was literally strangled tc
death in the name of the law"

YULETIDE GAME

Game Is Anticipated Be-
tween Elevens

The gridiron attraction for tomorrow
afternoon will be the Indlan-St. Vim
cent game, which promises to be one
of the best contested in Los Angeles
since the knights Of the molesklns
donned their togs two months ago.
The prime feature will consist in the
showing which the collegians may
make against the redskins, and the
result may, I'm q manner, exhibit more
clearly the strength of the st. Vincent
team as compared with the other
southern college elevens which have
lined up against the swarthy men
from Riverside.
A tie game or victory would prove
beyond a doubt that the Saints at their
best may claim to have the strongest
team of college men in the south.
The members of the eleven are
anxious to hold the redskins to q no.
score game If possible, and their
chances of so doing are by no means
utterly improbable, for at times dur
ing the past season Haggerty's aggre-
cation has played ball that would have

Phillips, who was to have entered
at guard, contracted a case of mumps

DEEP WATERWAYS.
NAtur al and Artificial WATERWAYS to
Connect the Gulf and the
Great Lakes

From the Great Lakes to Tho
Gulf by water, is question being
agitated by Congressman William
Lorimer and Henry T. Raney, OF
Illinois, who spent Saturday al
Baton Rouge and the Plaquemin2
locks, in conference with Governor
Blanchard, Congressman Samuel
Robertson and number Of leading
citizens.
The object of the visit Of the
party was set forth by Congress
man Lorimer. He said they were
making the trip for the purpose Fl
arousing interest in deep water
way between the Great Lakes and
the Gulf. They proposed to or
ganize a deep waterway associa-
ton in every city and town along
the river and to hold convention
at some central point, possibly st.
Louis, after all the associations
had been organized. A survey
which had been made by the au-
thority of congress, had demon
strated the feasibility Of a-ship
canal from Joliet, Ill.,, to st. Louis
which would make a deep water
way from the Gulf to the Great
Lakes, via the Chicago canal.

J. Y. SANDERS AND HIS VIEWS.

Our fellow-citizen and valiant
and gifted Lieutenant-Governor,
Hon. Jared Y. Sanders upon his
recent return to New Orleans from
French Lick Springs, New York,
and other places, was interviewed
by reporters of the daily press and
gave his views on a number Of
public questions now OF vast in
terest to the people of the state.
One subject alluded to by Mr..
Sanders is the necessity Of calling
and extra session of the legisla-
ture some time in January for tn"
purpose Of enacting whatever laws
may be needed for the protection
| Of the people against another yei-
| low fever visitation next summer.
He is of the opinion that the reg
ular session of next May will be
too late to do any good, and he
argues that the money spent for
an extra session at the time stated
would be spent to profit and adj
vantage.
The Lieutenant Governor be-
lieves in a remodeling of health
authorities throughout the entire
state-in Capitalization. as he
terms it. "There are too many
boards in the state, anyway says
he, Through which the response
bility for negligent service can
hardly be fixed upon individuals.
He thinks health officer in each
parish would answer the purposes
better for the reason that there
could be no divergence OF opinions
or methods AS in the case of health
boards, and the centralized health
system would give the people
better chance to locate the respon-
sibility on the proper party for
any negligence or nonfeasance.
II seems clear TO US that the
adoption of the plan suggested by
the Lieutenant-G Governor would
rebound in a greater measure to
he protection of communities,
along with such laws as seem nee
sssary to enforce a general and
'eientless crusade against the
mosquito before the spring or sum-
ner seasons set in.
Another prevalence OF yellow
ever the coming summer would
ender null all the good work that
las now began along immigration
ines and would retard the growth
4 the state most disastrously.
ience, the calling of an extra ses-
ION of the Legislature to avoid
his evil ought to be done at as
arly adate as practica BILE, regard
SIS OF the cost ia dollars and
ants.
