SALEM, Or. Dec. 2l.--Just one and
one-half minutes after the party
mounted the scaffold. the trap had
been sprung and Henry Hose, COM
demned to death for the murder Of
Madge Doyle, in Portland, october 10.
was plunged into space and had paid
the penalty for his crime. The trap
was sprung at 1920 p. m, and l5
minutes and 10 seconds later life was
pronounced extinct by the physicians.
This instance broke the record for
time In the history OF executions by
several minutes, but no time was lost
in preparations, and all was over after
Hose had stepped back on the trap
and muttexed brief prayer before
the spectators realized IT, 1t was less
than ten minutes from the time Hose
left the cell until he was hanged
The execution was witnessed by few
spectators, II being the policy Of the
prison management, as upon previous
occasions, to confire the list Of invit-
ed to as nearly within the limit Of
law as possible. During the death
march from the cell to the death cham

who attended to his spiritual comfort
and administered the last sacrament

followed closely in the rear.
Possessed of extraordinary vitality,
and under a high state Of nervous ex-

the scaffold was;

sorry for what have done, and all

nAKERsFIELD Dec. 2i.--Practic-
ally no progress was made In the
work Of rescuing the entomoed miner
at Edison Camp last night. The de-
composed granite rolls and creeps and
shifts like sand. and the rescuing
force Is fighting II back every inch
OF the way and experiencing the
greatest trouble TO prevent It from
crowdIng the drift away from LIS
right course.

talks TO the rescuers through the In
tervening wall. and he attempts to
give them directions, according 20 his
understanding OF the situation. II Is
his opinion that the drift Is little
high and today the foremen have
reached the same conclusion and are
dropping the incline slightly. Con-
trary TO the report sent up from the
depths yesterday, the men are not yet
able to work beneath the car, and all
their energies are devoted to lighting
back the shifting dirt.
Hicks himself Is anxious, but strong
and brave as ever. Through the pipe
this morning he "joshed" with them at
the top OF the shaft and reminded
them that he had won the box OF ci-
gars that was wagered on the hour Of
his release. From Hicks voice, It Is
evident that he Is growing stronger In
stead OF weaker. and he said himself
that he feels no m effects from his
long confinement.
AT O'clock this morning the man
had been buried exactly two weeks,
and from all indications now another
day will pass before his rescue,

Holy See Sends Note on Freuch
situation.
DECLARES CHURCH OUTRAGED
Deals With the Separation Law Of 1905
Exact and Vital Attitude Of
Church Simply stated--DeaIs
With Situation.

ROME, Dec. 2i.--The note sent by
the Vatican to all the papal represen-
tatives abroad, protesting against the
course OF the French government. af-
ter asserting the rights OF religion
have been outraged by the French gov
ernment's action in preventing the
head OF the church from communicate
ing with the French hierarchy and by
the expulsion OF Monsignor Montag-
mani, secretary Of the papal nunciature
at Paris. says:
1.-THE representatives OF the Holy
Sea abroad have also received a cir
cular In which are set forth the mo-
tives for the action Of the Vatican re-
garding the application of the church
and state separation law Of 1905. These
motives are so grave that It Is evil
IDENTIFY impossible to accuse the Holy
See of intrRsigeance or OF unjust hos
tility to the French government in
condemnation of the cultural associa-
tions, which disregarded the essential
rights which the church derived from
her constitution, such as maintaining
an ecclesiastical hierarchy, established
by her divine founder as the basis of
the organization Of the church. In
fact, the law conferred on the cultur-
al associations rights which not only
belong exclusively to the ecclesiastical
authorities In the place of worship ana
possessing and administering eccles-
iastical property, but the same asso-
ciations We're rendered independent Of
the hierarchy and instead were placed
under the adjudication OF the lay au-
thorities. The pontiff could not ap-
prove OF such associations without be-
ing lax In his duty as head of the
church, and without trampling upon
the fundamental domestic principles
OF the church.
"All this evidently shows that the
Holy See merely did Its duty strictly
in giving instructions on the subject
to the French clergy, If the French
government was animated by calmer
sentiment II could create for the
church in France situation which at
least would not injure the eccleslas-
tlcal rights Of the Holy See, which
might even without admitting the
principle Of separation Of church and
state tolerate such situation In or
der to avoid worse evils, as 1t did in
the case Of other countries"

eammittal.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ai.-~rhia week
II Ia Senator Joseph Foraker Of Ohio,
whose presidential boom attracts at
tcntion. His colleague. Senator Dick.
started II by.oxpreasing an opinion that
Ohio would gladly endorse Senator
Foraker for the nomination, should he
desire such endorsement. Now comes
former Lieutenant Governor Warren
q. Harding. expressing like view of
the situation IN the Buckeye state.
Asked regarding ohio's attitude to-
ward Secretary Of war Tai, as a
presidential quantity, Mr. Harding
aaid; I'VE accept the word Of Judge
Taft that he win not be candidate.
and Senator Foraker, therefore. should
have no trouble getting tho endorse
mcnt of the Ohio delegation"
Senator Foraker In very emphatic
in his declaration that be Ia not a
presidential candidate. The Idea. he
says, Of man seeking the presidency
In very ropugnant 20 him. and he be-
llcvns II is repugnant TO the American
people. He also recalls that few men
who have sought the presidency ever
attained II.
Senator Dicks declaration In favor
OF the nomination OF Senator Foraker
speaks eloauently Of changed political
conditions in the Buckeye State. For
years they were the bIttercst of po-
iitlcal foes and neither ever overlooked
an opportunity to knife the other,
But there arose In Ohio faction op-
posed to both the senator's and as q
matter OF solf-preservation Dick and
Foraker were driven into an alliance.
Instead Of bricks they now throw bou-
quets AZ each other, but II is safe
guess that each spends good deal
OF his time wondering what the other
has up his sleeve.
A man who claims 10 speak with au-
. thority declares Secretary Taft Is def
nitely and finally out Of the presi-
Dental reckoning, He has had
chance TO size up the presidential job
during the past few years and II Is
said, doesn't want It. II long has
been understood that the Supreme,
Court was the goal OF Judge Taft'sI
ambition, but the impression has gone
abroad that having been In contact
with the presidential bee, change
had come over the spirit OF his dreams.
Now this alleged-to-be authoritative
utterance has II, that was all wrong.
When the ermine was proffered him,
Judge Tart put Il aside, not because
he wanted to be president, but because
he wanted to finish the work he had
undertaken In the Philippines and as
secretary Of war. When that task Is
completed he hopes and believes that
opportunity to 80 on the Supreme
Bench will not be denied him.
Senator Foraker's standing as O Re-
publican has been considerably en-
HANGED during the past few weeks,
largely because Of the hot water In
which the administration finds itself.
The Ohio senator opposed administra-
tion plans at q time when Mr. Roose-
velt's popularity was weil-nigh irre-
sistibie. and was subjected TO severe
criticism for doing So Now that
many OF Foraker's critics have turned
critics Of the administration, they are
saying complimentary things about
the statesman from Ohio.

NOTES ABOUT THE FAIR
The fair was a success.

The fair was a success
1t was just as great success as
could possibly have been desired.
The receipts were about the same
or a trifle more than last year. The
premiums on fruit, farm products,
races and amusements were some
greater, but the expense for improve
ments and other things was less. The
association ought to come out little
ahead
The exhibits in all departments we're
good.
fine. Many people who have been at
the state fair and other fairs say that
the program pulled off in front of our
grand stand was as good as the best
and as entertaining as any ever put
up in Colorado.
Everybody was satisfied with the
show.
The attendance was oig-just as big
as it ought to be, considering the ac-
commodations. A thousand more peo-
pie would have crowded the grounds
uncomfortably and interfered with
the pleasure and comfort of ALL
thousand more people in attend
ance would have sent four thousand
disappointed people away to kick on
the fair.
AS it was, on the big day there were
really more people there than could
be well handled.
So the management is fully satisfied
with the attendance.
Nice crowds came in from Cripple
Creek. Victor, Salida. westcliffe. Sill
yer Cliff, Florence and Pueblo. and
some people from many other sections.
The management has confined most
of its auditing to the towns mentioned
and has spent nearly all OF its adver-
tising money with the newspapers of
those towns. Results prove that the
plan has been a nice one.
An effort was made to divide The
crowds more equally between the
three days with excellent success.
The program on the track was about
the same on each of the days and the
football and athletics divided the Grip
pie Creek crowds between Thursday
and Friday.
Too much credit cannot be given to
W, B. Rowland. the secretary. and the
president and directors who assisted
him in the management Mr.. Rowland
has done very little for nearly two
months but work for the fair and he
had everything in, smoother shape
than ever before.
Cañon City record., 1906-09-27

A. r. Gumar's stock farm at Flor
ence was represented at the fair by
magnificent string of blue blooded
horses; twenty-five in number, which
were much admired during their three
days stay on the grounds. Mr.. Gumar
has demonstrated that the Arkansas
valley is admirably adapted to the
breeding of standard and thorough
bred horses. Secretary Wilson Of the
department. of agriculture stated a
year or SO ago that Colorado ought to
produce the finest horses of any state
in the union and Mr.. Gumar is proving
the truth of the secretary's theory.
