WILLIE HOPPE,
BILLIARD CHAMPION, HOME.

who won the 1s1-inch balk line billiard
championship trophy In Paris on January Is
by defeating Maurice Vignaux holder of the
trophy, returned to America yesterday on
the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse OF
the North German Lloyd line. accompanied
by his brother Frank who is his business
manager The young champion talked mod
estly of his victory. but said that he was
confident of success from the start of the
match.
II was a little nervous. I'll admit, before
I started playing but once / had got into
the game didn't feel that way at ALL said
Hoppe "Of course, it was a great encour-
agement to have many Americans pres
emit believe one-third of those In the nan
were my low-countrymen-and their ap.
plause and cheers helped me out great
deal Still, l was confident all the time l
heard of one American who wanted to bet
any part of $4,000 on me.
''Vignaux's strongest point was In his
open-tabIe work Weak points? We'll, he
didn't seem to have any. My stronghold has
been in nursing the worries. l suppose that
Is how l won. as 1 got most of my points
that way. Louis Cure, I understand. had
expressed the intention of challenging me
In case l won, but he did not come forward
after my victory over Vignaux.
THE odds were to 1 against Willie ten
days before the match said Frank Hoppe.
by the day of the game the betting was at
even money. The first half of the match
was seesaw, with Vignaux leading at the
interval by 266 to 22S. In the last six in
nings of the final half my brother averaged
45, the best, l understand, ever made in
match. VignauX praised him much after
the game saying that he did not believe
Willie can be beaten"
The Hopes brought back the jeweled
championship trophy with them.

PREPARING FOR THE ORDEAL.
Execution Of William Hamilton to Oc-
cur Early Friday Morning.

Finishing touches were given the scaffold
at the jail today In order to have every
thing In readiness for the execution Of VIII
liam Walter Hamilton. colored. who is to
pay the penalty for the murder of Lizzie
Lyman, also colored, Friday morning. Ham,
tlton occupies cell No. 2, the apartment oc-
cupied by Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin
of President Garfield, in the south wing
near the cage. Jail guards have not no
ticed any change in the condition OF the
condemned man during the past few weeks,
the near approach of the day when he must
go through the terrible ordeal not having
affected his nervous system.
Hamilton, who is a native OF Elmira, N.
T., has no relatives. He has had num-
Der Of visitors during the eighteen months
he has been In Jail. however, most of them
being friends he has made since his arrest.
He says there Is no truth in the report that
he had committed murder in Tennessee
some years ago, and declares he was never
even In the state OF Tennessee. He has be-
come a religious enthusiast since he took
the life of Lizzie Lyman, and is anxious to
make q few remarks when he goes upon the
sc6ffold.
Warden Harris Is having friends of the
condemned man discourage him about his
speech-making, however, as the warden be-
ueves in having executions performed as
quietly as possible and wants Hamdlton's
spiritual advisers to do the talking for
him. The condemned man seems to have
an idea that remarks made on the scaffold
might do some good to others who are not
doing right
Hamilton will probably not be taken to
the death chamber adjoining the scaffold
until early Friday morning. He viii then
be with the Rev. John Roberts. his spiritual
adviser. and the last few minutes OF his
time on earth win be spent in prayer and
reading. The prisoner has been doing con-
siderable writing during the past few days
and Will have letters mailed to his friends
after he has paid the penalty OF death for
his crime
It Is the intention Of Warden Harris to
have Hamilton executed with the rope that
was used at the last execution In the prison.
The sentence Of the court commands the
warden to execute the condemned man
between the hours OF 8 and O'Clock In
the morning, and It was the intention Of

CASE OF JOHN ]. BoWES.
Effort to Have Him Admitted Into the
United States.

Commander John Lewis Smith of the De-
partment of the District Spanish War Vet
Grams has tawen up the case OF John j..
Bowes, who served in the Philippines dur
ing the Instruction in the Islands. 1t Is
stated that although he has served three
enlistments under the flag of the United
States, once in the regular army, once IN
the navy and once as volunteer. and in
each case received an honorable discharge
John J. Bowes, an Englishman, has been
refused admittance to the United States.
Bowes. despite his military service. was
never naturalized He arrived at this port
January 10. and was detained on the
ground that he might become public
charge, as he was Ill. He was suf1ering
from rheumatism and bullet wound re-
ceived while serving in the philippines.
which had never properly healed.
The immigration officials promptly COM
municated the facts and an account OF
Bowes record to the authorities at WASH
ington, asking If he could not be admitted
to the Marine Hospital. Yesterday mes
sage was received announcing that Bowes
is not eligible for admittance to this coun-
try.
Commander Smith says he sees no reason
why Bowes cannot be allowed to land and
be placed in one Of the soldiers homes. 1t
is held that no soldier WHO has served I'M
der the flag and become disabled while per-
forming his duties can become public
charge, IN the sense or pauperiSm IN winch
II is used in the immigration laws, because
the soldiers homes were established to give
such men refuge as q right earned by
service for their country and in nowise
as charity.
1t is said the case of Bowes. who Is de-
tanned by the immigration officials at Bos-
ton, where he arrived January 10 from Ire
land, was investigated by Commissioner
General Sargent OF the immigration bureau,
who was In Boston on Monday OF last week.
He took a personal interest in Bowes'
case, and brought Bowes' military dis
charge papers to Washington last Thurs
day and had the case investigated by the
War Department, where the officials found
he had an excellent army record.
When Mr.. Sargent sent these papers to
the War Department he made inquiries with
view, he says, to placing the detained
man In one Of the soldiers homes. and In
reply was referred to President Martin Nc
Mahon. OF New York. the president OF the
board OF managers OF the National Home
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
