Both Men Confessed
to Killing Their
Victims.

Byers Fails and Man Falls
To the Ground.

PITTSBURG, March %. - William j.
Byers and Reno Dardaia were hanged
in the Allegheny county Jail this morn
ing.
Dardaia was first to hang. The drop

ing that he was acting In self-defense.
Both Dardaia and Byers had been
respited several times, and both had be-
come accustomed to hearing their death

Dardaia walked unassisted to the
scaffold without a sign Of fear. He was
accompanied to the galloWs steps by
the Rev. Bonaventure Piscopo, an Ital-
ian priest, who was reciting prayers.
,Dardaia mounted the scaffold unassisted,
and at 1902 o'clock the trap was sprung
Death resulted from strangulation with

First Attempt Fails.
Two attempts were necessary before
the execution of Byers was successfully
accomplished. When the trap was first
sprung, the knot in the moose became
unfixed. Byers dropped to the ground
and would have fallen had he not been
caught in the arms OF Sheriff Dickson
and supported. Although there was a
horrible red mark about his neck, and
was doubtless suffering great pain, he
displayed remarkable nerve, and walk
ed back to his cell without assistance.
The second attempt was successful.
When a new rope had been fixed in
place. Byers was led again from the
Jail to the scaffold. He had a smile
upon his face, and while standing or
the trap for the second time. in low
and careless tone of voice exclaimed
to the hangman:

Linevitch Has Escaped

ST. PETERSBURG, March 23.-It is
now claimed that the main Russian
army has escaped.
In official circles the former optim-
ism has been regained to some extent

treat was solely due TO hunger and the
lack cf supplies.

No Serious Fighting.
There is no further news of serious

Enemies to the Knife.

In the United States the people elect
the public officers. Differences during
the campaign are forgotten after the
election. Political adversaries are ad-
versaries only in politics. In my coun-
try and in every Latin-American coun-
try for two men to differ in politics
means that they are enemies to the
knife.
Landing in any one of a dozen princi-
pal ports OF Central and South American
republics, the first man you meet will
say, If his party is out, The government
is a pack of thieves, murdcrers, and
scoundrels' The next man, being a sup
porter of the government, will say, The
opposition consists of cut-throats and
blackguards. They want us out so they
can rob the people,

Racial Antagonism.

Racial antagonism, with an ingrow-
ing sense of social caste, are the curse
of Latin-American countries. We have
Indians, and aborigines of all sorts,
mixed with strains of Spanish, African,
and American blood This mixed social
condition is the principal cause of cur
intermittent revolutions
Some leader, in whom the inferior
strains are mixed, finds d passing popu-
lar strength, and is elected president
The better element-better IN social
standing-uses its inherent power TO de-
pose the incumbent. 1T may or may not
succeed. but the result is revolution or
rebellion.
The end is always the same. The re-
sources OF the country are drained, for
eign debts are created which IN time are
bound to become the subjects OF diplo-
matte dispute. The government grants
concessions to foreigners having no
home capital for industrial development
and these concessions make more inter
national trouble.

|UP TO CONGRESS

Commissioners Helpless Be-
fore Court Decision.
DISCUSSED IN COMMITTEE
Mr. West Says Nearly an Hous Was
Spent in Considering Ques-
ton Last Winter.

Much discussion OF the effect of the
decision of The Court of Appeals yes
terfiay that the se-caaed snow law
was invalid, took place in the Distric,
buIIdtag today.
1t was the general sentiment that IL
was now UP 10 Congress to frame law
which would make it possible TO have
the sidewalks of The city cleaned after
each snowfall. or else provide an appro-
prlation sufficient for the District gov
ernment TO undertake the work.
The decision OF the court contained in
the opinion handed down by Justice Nor
ris was nor unexpected. Commissioner
West in particular recalled that he had
anticipated Che action of the court last
December when the Corporation Coun-
sci WAS reiivenating an old corporation
ordinance. which he thought could be
made applicable in the District.
West Was Doubtful
The Commissioner opinion at that
time was ilcluded in an Endorsement
upon the paper submitted TO him by Mr.
Duvau which contained the following
statement:
The principle laid down in the de-
c:sion OF the Court of Appeals concern
ing the snow and ice law, that 1t is pri-
mar.ly incumbent upon the municipality

Commissioner West said this morning
ne had agreed TO the suggestion of the

was wise and proper 20 exhaust every
means OF insuring freedom from snow
and ice UDon the side walks. and was
therefore willing to Yield his own judg-
meat 20 that of the Corporation Coun-
sci in the effort to secure an effective

Hc added that the suggestion in the
decision of justice Morris that the Com.

Foreign Distrust.

Natural distrust of such governments

contempt for Latin-America- Since

protection of the interests of foreign Cit
liens, foreign countries have found i'm

If my country, for instance, grants
the citizen of a foreign country a con-
cession. one clause Of the contract being
that al disputes shall be referred to nv
countryss courts under my country s
laws, as a rule the first thing the con-
cessionaire will do, after he defaults on
his contract, will be to appeal to his own

President Roosevelt's policy with ref
erence to the affairs of Central and
South American countries. generally
termed the big stick was justified to-
day in an interview with one of the most
thoroughly informed Latin-American
diplomats now in Washington.
This Lat1n-Anerican, who for years
has been identified with the turbulent
politics of the country he represents,
spoke frankly of the conditions of the
governments of the western hemisphere,
whose people are largely of Spanish
origin. While referring disdainfully to
''Ze big steeck," he confessed the in
ability OF the Southern republics in their
present state to make a successful issue
of self-government without being in a
constant mess, internally and externally.
Americans, citizens of the United
States, cannot understand conditions
south of the southern border of their
country" he said. Mexico internally
is really no exception to her sister re-
publics farther south. Even there the
constitution is ignored.
