TUCKER NERVOUS
BUT INSISTS He
IS INNOCENT

Boston, June 1.-For the first time
Charles l.. Tucker, under sentence TO be
executed during the week of June 10. for
the murder OF Mabel Page, yesterday
displayed evidences OF weakening under
the severe strain
Rev. Thomas w. Bishop OF Dorchester
ioffhcrty pastor OF tfIe MethUdtst church
at Auburndale, where Tucker once at
tended Sunday school. talked with the
condemned man at the Cambridge fail
and the minister said that Tucker showed
emotion.
Mr.. Bishop has called at the jail several
times al the reuqest Of fuckers father.
but on the previous visits the young man
did not appear at all nervous Yesterday
Mr.. Bishop said, Tucker talked very ran
idly and appeared to be nervous. Tucker
still maintains his innocense strongly.
but is not as hopeful as formerly.
Arrangements were made at the fail
for the removal of Tucket TO the state
prison at Charlestown. where he will be
electrocuted unless the hearing which
Gov. Guild will grant TO the lawyers for
the defence on Tuesday next should re-
suit in Communication Of the death sen
tence to term OF life Imprisonment.

MAN
ASKS $4,000 Of
LOCAL DOCTOR

Contractor William Kay OF Pawtucket
has sued DIR. William l.. Harris of III
Broad street in this city for 5000 for al
legged deceit In connection with profes-
slonal services.
Mr. Kay. who is 70 years old, alleges
that the defendant told him II was neces-
ssry TO have an operation performed on
his head. and that he would be a well man
IL 1t was done. The skull was operated
upon -ef-er-a aAett March 8, 1895, the
plaintiff says. and a button-shaped piece
OF bone was removed.
Since that time he claims that he has
suffered constantly and will as long as
he lives have 10 be under the care OF
a physician. He declares that the state
ment OF the defendant was not true
about the result OF the operation.
. DIR. Harris says that the plaintiff. Kay.
was brought to his Office by Or. Gladwin
OF Pawtucket, and that he told Kay that
the operation was a very delicate one,
which might bring good or bad results.
He declares that the operation proved
very successful, and because of the fact
that Kay claimed 10 be poor he charged
only 500.
lie says that Kay falled 10 pay MN
for the work. and that he placed an at
tachment on some property for the pur-
pose OF getting his bill
When Mr.. Kay was convalescent," said
Or. Harris. II called at the hospital 10
see him. Mr.. Kay raised the question OF
the advisability of having a silver plate
under the scalp TO protect the soft spot
resulting from the removal OF the button
i told him that one was not necessary.
Its presence would bring on a recurrence
of his trouble, and a plate would be
impossible, as l had emptied not taken
out, the cystic tumor, and that it would
be best To walt a year or two before
thinking OF such step. If ever.

MISPLACED BUOY
CAUSE Of THE
R. |. GROUNDING

Norfolk, Va, June IA misplaced buoy
was responsible for the grounding of the
battleship Rhode Island at the entrance
to the mouth OF the York river. ACCORDING
10 the testimony OF Capt Perry Garst.
who was in command OF the battleship
when she stranded, and on account of
which he is now being tried by general
court-martial aboard the battleship Off
Odd Point
The testimony of the captain was sup
ported by other witnesses and the captain.
will probably depend on II more than on
any other for an acquittal.
The defence for Capt. Garvt and Lieut.
Commander Witherspoon, who is being
tried Jointly with him. was reached yes
terday. Capt. Garst was the first wit
ness TO take the stand In his own behalf
and Commander Witherspoon'~ behalf. II
was then that he stated empha tcally for
the first time that a misplaced buoy was
responsible for the grounding Of the ship
or at least resulted In the miscalcuations
responsible for the grounding.
IL is understood that the government
will attach no blame To the captain for his
refusal TO take n Virginia pilot aboard
when the Rhode Island passed in the
Chesapeake, on tho ground that the naval
vessels are not compelled TO. nor is 1t
the custom for them 10 take pilots to
navigate Chesapeake bay Pilots are
always offered the ships. and one was
offered the Rhode leland.

II provides that should his death occur
in ireland the burial was to be at Straide
and II in the United States in his mothers $
grave at Manayunk near Philadelphia.

mise occurred I'm Great Britain he must

A Menace to Good Government.

Ii Congress adopts the age-salary limita
tiou for department clerks proposed in the
paragraph now forming part of the legisla-

and justice go at least one step further and
make the provision OF law apply to ali
workers for the government-in certainly
the administrative branch. II should not be
limited to the classified service Otherwise

that is the case, then there Is a far graver
degree OF offending against the govern

now in force, as one correspondent of The
Star whose letter was printed yesterday
pointed out, which require and empower the
chief clerks and chiefs of bureaus to purge
the rolls of those who are Incompetent.
1t is cruel and absurd for the appropria-

the form OF this provision. that a depart

paid In the classified service, merely be-
cause he is sixty-ive. sixty-eight or even
seventy years of age. Such an assertion is
suggestive OF either gross ignorance of the

Mr. Jerome has at last set the machinery

Jury under his advice has begun it's work,

The legislative investigation In New York
showed many astonishing things. Enor-
nous salaries were paid for very ordinary
services. Large sums were set apart for
purposes plainly of bribery and corruption.

provided for. Lobbyists of skill and re-

The Preservation of niagara.
A news dispatch from Toronto, Ont,

a news dispatch from Toronto, Ont, says:
The international waterways commits
sion has adjourned after two days ses-
SION An agreement was reached regarding
the falls by which both countries Will take
all precautions to save its scenic beauty"
This. though meager in detail. Is good
news. There Is very real sense of alarm
on this side Of the boundary lest the en-
ara may soon rob the great cataract OF its
attractiveness as one of the natural won
ders of the world. IF penstocks and sluices
and tunnels are constructed during the next
decade at the rate OF the past ten years
scarcely enough water will flow over the
brink TO afford even third-rate spectacle
for the deleetation of tourists. Niagara Will
have passed from Its grand state as an awe
inspiring display OF hydraulic force and
will be interesting only to engineers and
f1nanciers.
The sentiment In the United States in ia
vor of the preservation of the cataract
from this commercial decadence is strong.
1t Is expressed In the form of numerous Pc
titions to both the state legislature Of New
York and the national Congress. Bills are
pending before the houses of the latter
body for the checking of the rapidly ex-
tending evils. Just what bearing the de-
cislon of the International waterways COM
mission has upon this proposed legislation
remains to be disclosed But by whatever
method. the checking of this process of spo-
liation Is an urgent duty.
