This afternoon the attorneys were in
Structed by Chairman William H. Grif-
fifth to hand their briefs to the commit
tee at the conclusion of the nearing OF
testimony, and these will be considered
by the committee in announcing its con-
cluSiOn.
Today was taken up in listening to re-
ports of Democratic experts on ballot
boxes from Huerfano county.
Cross-eXa mination developed that the
experts believed that many of the bal
lots written in two or three handwrft-
ings in different precincts were written
by clerks and judges in assisting IL
literates, although the poll books. save
in one or two cases, failed TO show that
any assistance was given.
It will probably be admitted by the
Republicans that these ballots were writ
ten by election officials. but they will
also make the claim that they We're
cast by the officials without the actual
presence of the alleged voters.
Three experts reported on fifteen pre-
cincts in Huerfano county. They testi-
fled that LOSS Republican and l62 Demo-
cratic ballots out of total of 2.601 votes
were written by two three persons.
Peabody received 1928 and Adams CPS
votes in these precincts Should these

MONSTER PETITION ASKING FOR
MERCY.

Heading, Pa. Heb 1.-THE depo-
X sitions of Mrs. Edwards ana Grea-
son were to have been taken today
and subTnitted to the board of pardOns
tomorrow. The former, however, was too
weak to leave her cell and made no
affidavit. Greason walked to the office
downstairs. There he was questioned at
length to his connection with the
crime. He again reiterated his innocence
and declared that he would say on
the gallOws on Thursday. Mrs. Edwards
is in a state of collapse. and means and
cries continually. She eats nothing. say
ing she wants to be left alone. In his
petition to the board Of pardOns Grea-
son reviews his case and asks for full
pardon
Sheriff Sassaman has made every prep
aration for the execution and in the
event Of an unfavorab bic decision from
HARRISBURG the erection of the scaffold
will be commenced.
Mrs. Edwards and Greason will be
hanged at the same time.
GreaSOn is almost dumbfounded- He
has confidently expected a new trial and
his ultimate freedom, and he apparently
can scarcely realize his terrible situa-
ton.
Mrs. Edwards has given up all hope,
and has selected the text for her flu
neral sermon and the hymns 10 be rem

being taken to Walsenburg last night
to get the ballot box from precinct %
of that county, appeared before the
committee tonight. He had transpOrta-
ton over q different line from that
which the officer travelled and that faCC
gave rise to the rumor that he had es-
capped. Mr. Montez produced the much
wanted box tonight, and when it was
opened it was empty. Mr.. MOntez Swore
that the box was received from his
predecessor in office in its present con-
ditiOn. and he could not account fer the
absence of the ballots cast in precinct
%. He also testified that the fact that
s. many ballots were in the same hand
writing i'm HuerfanO county could be
explained by the fact that nearly all
the residents there speak only Spanish
and the judges We're compelled to write
their ballots for them.
Witnesses were introduced tonight TO
prove that ballots used in Denver We're
not always mum bered cOnsecuUvely by
the printers. and frequently space OF

IAI ASHINGTON, Feb 1i.-Immediately
wv after the senate convened today the
agricultural appropriation bin was
taken up, the HansbrOUgh amendment in

act. which imposes a specific duty on
wheat shall not be held 10 be affected
by the provisions of section - OF the
same act, which provides for a drawback
on imported articles used in domestic
manufacture.
Mr.. HansbrOugh spoke in support Of the
amendment. He contSnded that the de-
cision allowing a drawback on imported
wheat was wrong because the pO~uOn OF
flour made from such wheat could not be
distinguished from that made OF the do
nestle product. as he argued was neceS-
sary under the drawback provision. lie
said the opinion would be far reaching,
extending 70 all articles used in manu-

The ereate.t Renret o. LIfe.

Here are some impressive thoughts
from Canon Liddon:
''Life is like the summers days. In
the first fresh morning we do not real
ize the monday heat. and at noon we
do not think Of the last shadows length
ening across the plain and Of the set
ting sun and OF the advancing night.
Yet to each and all the sunset comes at
last, and those who have made the
most OF the day are not unlikely to re-
fleet most bitterly how little they have
made Of it. Whatever else they may
look back upon with thankfulness or
with sorrow it is certain that they viii
regret no omissions OF duty more keen
ly than neglect OF prayer, that they
will prize no hours more than those
which have been passed, whether in
private or in public, before that throne
OF justice and Of grace upon which
they hope to gaze throughout eternity"

mo PEACE in
CHICAGO STRIKE
Hope Of Settlement Disappears and
Fight to Finish is On.
MORE MEN ARE COMING OUT

Chicago, May 24.-All prospects OF
peace in the teamsters' strike have dis
appeared, and it will be open war from
this time on. The last conference look
ing toward a peaceable adjustment OF
the trouble was held between James
E. Barry. business agent for the Ex-
press Drivers Union, and the local
managers of the seven express COM
panies. The conference was brief and
pointed. Business Agent Barry opened
the negotiations by saying:
"Our position is this: l want all the
men reinstated except those who have
been guilty OF violence. l cannot do
anything different. That is what the
local union wants, and that is what
the local officers have told me to de-
mand. That is all l can do. The men
told me they all want to 90 back in a
body or they won't go back at all. This
is the position Of the union and the
union officials"
The reply Of the representatives Of
the express companies was brief. It
was:
Our opposition to the reinstatement
Of the men will be the same four years
from now as it is today We will not
take them back under any circum-
stances"
This brought the conference to a
close and all parties concerned in it
left the city hall.

by tonight fully 1000 more drivers will
be out. They are the employees Of the
Lumbermen's Exchange.
With the union drivers employed by
the Lumbermen's Association on strike
it will be only a matter of a short time
until outside unions will be affected
by the trouble. Unless the strike is set

The possibilities for increased riot
ing are, OF course, greatly enlarged by
the present situation.
Sheriff Barrett said; "At the first
outbreak Of trouble which in any way
the rioting we have had
shall call for troops. I will do every
thing in my power to maintain order,
but the minute it gets beyond me 1
will appeal to the government, and the
troops will be on the ground within
less than two hours"
Every preparation has been made for
a prompt response by the national
guard. and a large consignment Of riot
cartridges has been received. These |

that they contain three buckshot each
