HAD TO BE HANGED TWICF,
Rope Breaks the First Time at Execu-
 tion of Young Farmer.

Houston, Mo, Dec. 21.-The h.sSsfng to-day of Joda Hamilton, a twenty year-old farmer, for the murder of five members of the family of Barney Par sons was unusually gruesome, two at- tempts being necessary before the exc cution was successful. The first rope broke as Hamilton shot through the trap with jerk. The spectators saw Hamilton drop to the ground and lie there writhing. Partly conscious, he was picked up quickly and carried a second time to the scaffold. The rope was hurriedly repaired and placed about boys neck, and five minutes aft CT the first attempt the trap was sprung the second time. The second attempt was successful.
 The attending physician expressed the belief that Hamilton was fatally injured by the first fall and died before he dropped the second time. The body was turned over to Hamiltons father.

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT.
New York Yardmen Will Probably Quit
 Work Tonight.

New York, Dec. 21.--Michael J. Rea- gan, industrial mediator of the state board of arbitration, has rendered his good offices in the hope of averting a strike of 5000 yardmen against eight railroads with terminals in this city. lie has, however, received, it is said, little encouragement from either side. and tonight was told that the dispute had passed the point of possible ar bltration and reached crisis where it was to be a case of either backdown internationally or fight.
 Tonight the yardmen served unon officers of the Pennsylvania railroad the ultimatum already received bv the other railroads. This is to the effect that the men will go out tomorrow (probably at midnight) unless the de- mand of five cents an hour increase in wages is granted. An amicable adjust ment would, it was pointed out to- night, add some $10O,OOO to the total an- nual expenses of the companies.

Identical Views With Italy-No Danger
 of War With Britain or Germany.

Budapest, Dec. 21,-speaking on be- half of Baron Won Aehrenthal, the Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs. before the Hungarian delega> tions, Baron Burian, the common min ister of finance, said to-day that the declarations made recently by Signor Tittoni, the Italian minister of foreign affairs, in the chamber of deputies at Rome confirmed convincingly previous statements as to the existence between the foreign ministers of the two coun- tries Of Identical views on all matters affecting the two states. Austro- Hun gary and Italy, Baron Burian contin- ued, were following a common course of procedure in Macedonia with the ob- ject of maintaining, as far as possible, the territorial integrity of Turkey. Re ferring to the Albanian situation, the minister of finance said the agreement with Italy precluded the possibility of either country becoming possessed of Albanian territory, and he agreed with Signor Tittoni that the possibility of conflict with Germany or Great Brit ain was nowhere considered seriously in Austro- Hungary.

 -Great Curiosity Among the Other
 Convicts
 Ossining, N. Y., Dec. 21.-Albert T. Patrick, convicted of the murder of William Marsh Rice was officially no- titied to-day by Warden Johnson of Sing Sing prison of the communication of his death sentence to imprisonment for life by Governor Higgins and was ltak- en from the death house, where he has lived for four years and eight months, and placed in a cell in the main pris- O..
 The official notice arrived from AL bany at noon, but Warden Johnson did not visit the death house until 3:3O o'clock He went directly to the big steel cage that has been Patrick's home for nearly five years and told the pris- oner of having received official notice of the communication. Patrick was then taken to the clerks office, where he was treated as though he had just ar rived at the prison, except that it was not necessary to take his pedigree. He was measured and weighed, tipping the beam at 174 pounds, and showing that he had gained slightly in weight since his arrival at the prison. His height is five feet, nine and one-half inches. After he had had bath he was taken to the prison barber, who shaved him and cut his hair, and he was given a suit of gray prison clothes, such as are worn by first term men.
 T suppose I'm entitled to four bars for my four years service" said Pat rick, 1ocularly as he took the clothes.
 Yes replied the warden, and you will get a star next April"
 For each year that a prisoner serves he has a bar placed on his left sleeve, and when he. has served five years he receives star.
 After Patrick had put on his prison suit he was. conducted by the warden to the door and sash factory, where he will be put to work tomorrow, On ar- irving at the workshop Patrick became an object of intense interest to the con victs in the place. The men are not supposed to raise their eyes or look around them while at work, but none of them could resist the temptation to steal a glance at the noted prisoner.
 The warden explained to Patrick just what he would hayeto do, and when the men finished their labors for the day Patrick was ordered to fall in line, and with the others he was marched to the cells. On the way Patrick, like the other prisoners, received chunk of gingerbread and a dipper full of tea, and these he took to his cell for SUD- per. .Patricks cell is No. 1074 in gal lery No 22, He will be In charge of Keeper John T.

 Students Not Concerned in Crime, 1t
 is Claimed.
 Annapolis, Md, Dec. 21--A mob numbering twenty-five or thirty men broke down the door of the Annapolis jail early to-day, took out Henry Davis, the negro who on last Friday criminally assaulted Mrs. John Reid (white) near lnglehart's Station and lynched him. Davis who was also known by the name of Chambers, confessed his guilt before being killed. Little or no resist anoe was offered to the mob by the of tieers at the jail and none whatever by the prisoner The negro was drag ged from the jail to a vacant lot on College Creek, quarter of a mile dis tant, where he was trung Up to limb of a tree and half a dozen bullets fired into him. He is thought to have died instantly AS the body was being let down somebody cried out: Another white woman is avenged.'
 On the way to the place of execution members of the lynching party kicked and cuffed Davis whenever opportunity was offered. His body was left lying under the tree which had served as a gallows. It was viewed by hundreds of persons during the day. Later a coro- ner's jury was empanelled and after fhhearing the testimony of witnesses re- turned verdict of death at the hands of personsunknown to the jury.
 The prison from which Davis was taken is a hundred years old. It is Situated in Calvert street and is only about 800 yards from the state house and the executive mansion of the gov ernor The lynching party used Senior hall of St. Johns college for it's as- sembling place. This fact is taken to indicate that most of the men connect ed with the affair were Annapottans, and did not come from IngIeharts Sta ton, where Mrs. Reid lived. As early as il o'clock, it appears, the mob be- gan to collect on St. Johns campus. Some time after 13 the crowd entered the lower floor of Senior hall There it's members proceeded to blacken their faces, and some of them donned masks. They were quiet in their movements, but some of the students were awak- ened These later came down and watched the proceedings, but did not interfere or give any alarm. The col lege authorities strongly denied to-day that any of the students were implicat- ed in the lynching. Most of them are at their homes for the holidays. On its way to the jail the mob stopped at the Annapolis gas plant, and tried to enter but failed to gain admlttance. It isl presumed that the intention was to cutI off thetown lights.

 4 EI Reno Okla, Dec. 21.-Captain Ed \ gar B. Macklin of Company c, Twenty
 fifth United States infantry, was shot ltwice and severely wounded tonight by
 a negro at Fort Reno, and belief is ex- 8pressed that it was one of the members 8of the troop discharged by President Roosevelt for participation in the Brownsville riots. Bloodhounds will be Drought here from Oklahoma City to lItrace the assassin.
 There was knock at the door of the officers quarters and when Captain
 Macklin responded the negro fired and fled. One bullet entered Captain Mack 1lin's abdomen, the second struck him in sthe jaw. The surgeon says that the
 wounds are not necessarily fatal.

DEFENDS TRACKS ON GREEN
RAILROAD OFFICIAL SAYS THEY
 ARE ESSENTIAL.

Needed to Relieve Abnormal Congestion
 at Church and Chapel Streets-Fifty
 Per Cent. of Population Uses Trolley
 Street Open to Teams and Car
 riases-Company Will Not Unduly
 Urge Request If Citizens on Careful
 Consideration Oppose It. ....,,.
 Speaking of the petition of the Con- solidated Railway company to lay tracks through Temple street in this city, connecting the Chapel street line with the Elm street line, an official of the Consolidated Railroad company made the following statement:
 With reference to this company's pe- tition to the general assembly for a right to lay trolley tracks on Temple street, from Chapel to Elm, across the green, it is my belief that the constrric- ton of such a track is at the present time essential, and will soon become imperative to the needs of the public, It is now open to pedestrians, and to all classes of vehicular traffic. If a proposition were to be advanced to close Temple street as thoroughIare, and oblige every one walking or riding to go by way of College street, or to pass through the congested throat at Church and Chapel streets, l imagine the plan would raise a storm of pro- test; yet this is exactly the situation now with reference to trolley traffic. The result is an undesirable situation at Chapel and College streets, and an abnormal and ever increasing conges-, tion at Church and Chapel streets, which not only should, but must be re- lieved in the near future.
 Tt may be news to some people that an average of fifty per cent. of the cit izens of New Haven and outlying towns which may be said to be tributary to the trolley lines ride on the cars every day of the year, but the necessity of the operation of the trolley system is taken to be so much matter of course that it's importance to our daily life is only appreciated, when for some reason a portion of the service is temporarily de- ranged or suspended. ...s
 T can see no reason why the fifty per cent. of the people who now use the poor mans automobile should be re- fused the use of Temple street across the green when less than five per. cent. who have their own private vehicles are allowed to do so
 T may say that it is farthest from the desire or intention of the railway company to unduly urge the granting of a right to construct tracks on Temple street across the green should it devel- Op that careful consideration by the citizens leads them to oppose such grant, but we have been forced to the that the permit for which wei are asking is not only proper and ur- gently needed to assist in handling the fast growing traffic of this busy city, but that we have no right to longer withhold our request for this permis- sion in the face of our obligation to provide proper transportation facilities for the travelling public"

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE
Western Roads Favor Free Interchange
 But Eastern Lines Refuse.

Kansas City, Dec. 21.-At the conclu- sion of the inquiry into the question of the freight car shortage in the west be- fore Interstate Commerce Commission CT Prouty, which began at St. Louis and ended here tonight ,the commls- sioner, shippers and the representa- tives of the railroads agreed that all parties concerned would be greatly ben efited and present conditions relieved if q free interchange of cars among railroad companies could be brought about. It is understood that western railway lines generally favor a free in- terchange of freight cars, but that east ern roads have refused to cnter into such ali agreement. The reason for the refusal, it is said, is that the eastern roads are profiting by present condi- tions and are using many thousand cars belonging to western roads, and most of their own equipment as well, causing q serious shortage of cars in the west and the south

 To-day it was learned that, although MT. Roosevelt had never known the woman, her wishes were respected. Acting under the presidents orders, United States District Attorney Henry L. Stimson, in conjunction with the public administrator, personally super yised the cremation of the body and forwarded the two pet Angora cats to the White House.
 Secret service men also saw to 1t that all the property left by Mrs Grover was taken in charge by the public ad- ministrator and advertisements insert- ed in the newspapers notifying her rel atives of her death. MT. Stimson sad to day:
 When President Roosevelt heard of the death of Mrs. Grover and the con- tents of the letter she left behind he notified me to see that her wishes were carried out and that her body was giv- en decent burial. I worked in con junction with the public administrator and as he did not know what to do with the Angora cats she had left behind, the president told me to send them to him and he would take care of them. did so, and they are in the White House now"
 Little was known of Mrs. Grover fur ther than that she described herself as a magazine writer with independent means, and an admirer of the public career of the chief executive.
