SITE FOR
ARMORY
SELECTED

Another site for the new armory
mission and the Riverside site, so
unscruplously urged by the tall tower
tribe. has been passed up for good.
The site selected is that at Second
avenue and Mcclellan street, which
extends back to Pacific avenue. The
site was owned by F. A. Blackwell
and is sold by him for $4,000, Mr..
Blackwell voluntarily donating 5000
for the building fund.
The meeting of the armory COM
mission was held at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon in the offices of the
architects, Preusse & little.
The land is 15Ox142 feet and ad-
joins sewer and water service. 1t
slopes slightly to the north, but has
very little rock on it. Work will
begin at once and the structure will
be completed in four months.
The building will be the full size
of the lot. The drill floor will be 100
x150 feet. 1t will have the truss
roof construction, so there will be no
pillars on the floor. There will be
no rooms over it, but over the other
AZ feet there will be a second floor.
There will be rooms upstairs for the
G. A. r. and the Spanish-American
war veterans. The company rooms
will be on the first floor.
In the basement will be shower
baths, a target range, a kitchen and
storerooms. The seats and stage
for public meetings will be removable
The building will have exits on the
three streets it faces, Pacific avenue,
McClelland street and Second avenue.
1t will cost approximately $4,000.

On the other hand, the friends Of
the street railway corporations ex-
press no fear that the municipal ow-
nership idea will be carried out. They
rely upon the council as a safe
neutralizing agent of any municipal
ownership scheme brought forward,
pointing out that practically the
same men are in control in the pres
ent council as have all along favored
the renewal of the franchises to the
street car companies. but with a
provision for eventual public owner

fact that the majority Of the COM
mittee are Acuff men is another hard
slap at the Sanders candidacy.
Sanders campaign is growing
weaker each day and 1t is now openly
admitted by his workers that he
stands a small show of getting into
the convention with sufficient votes
to make a showing.
The chairman-candidate has been
told to pull out of the fight but he
insists upon going into the conven-
ton with a following which he be-
lieves will be useful to him in trad
ing for state senatorship two
years hence.
All along the Sanders ambition
has been to become governor of the
great state of Washington and the
colonel has foolishly believed that
the Spokane mayoralty is the real
stepping stone.
Next to being mayor Colonel Ed
believes being state senator would
bring him near the coveted guberna-
torial chair and any faction that
can promise the senatorship is well
come to the Sanders delegates in
the coming convention.
Another meeting of the committee
was held at o'clock this morning
when a plan of action in regard to
precinct workers was started. The
only difficulty so far is that there
is no money in sight and the precinct
men decline to get out and hustle
until the oil room has been opened.
Jack Webster was named by
Chairman Sanders as secretary of
the committee in place of o. c. Moore
who resigned.

Sunday he complained of not being well and Monday he left his duties. on account of sickness and went to his rooms. Yesterday morn ing the servant was instructed not to awaken MT. Gassenheimer as he was i'll and 1t was not until MT. Virden telephoffed to the residence to inquire as to his condition that the lifeless body was found.

JUD BRAHAM WILL DIE
PARDONING BOARD REFUSES TO
 RECOMMEND CLEMENCY.
The Plea of Insanity Set up by Bir- mingham Negro, Who Killed
 Girl Was Without Avail.

The Board of Pardons yesterday rec commended that there be no executive interference with the fate of Jud Bra ham, the slayer of his sweetheart, who has been sentenced to be hanged next Friday, March 10, in Birmingham.
 The Board reached this conclusion after carefully examining scores of let ters, appeals and petitions and hearing last week the oral arguments of Bra hams counsel
 Acting Governor Cunningham, if he interferes with the execution, must now interfere of his own motion. The report of the Board of Pardons was transmit ted to him yesterday and at late hour in the afternoon he was going through some of the papers in the case. He has not yet decided upon his course in the matter.
 The efforts of Jud Braham are confin- ed to getting his death sentence com muted to life Imprisonment in the peni- tentiarv. His plea is insanity.
 Braham. in a fit of atrocious love. if it may be so called deliberately killed Minnie Crenshaw. whom he loved from childhood. The shooting place last year near Ensley while the couple were walking in the moonlight. Braham asked the woman to be his wife. She positively refused and was shot through the brain. She fell into his arms and he fired two more shots into her sinking body. He surrendered to the police. requested that he be hanged as soon as possible and since his trial has been trying to save himself.
 There was no expert testimony re- garding the sane or insane condition of Braham's mind. There was little tes- timony from any source to establish in- sanity for Braham. The plea rests on the presumption that the only thing that allays with love and murder Is in- sanity.
 Braham is sentenced to hang simul- taneously with Will Robinson. another negro. who recently shot and killed his sweetheart because she would not give
