MILLER { RH0ADs'
ENLARGEMENT PLAN.
Official Statement Quiets Rumors
AS to the Modus
Operandi.

It has been an open secret for several
days that Miller and Rhonds, the great
dry goods men, had acquired property
adjoining their mammoth store on Broad
Street for the purpose OF further cnlnrg-
ment. Many rumors concerning their
plans, some of them In the neighborhood
of the truth. but the most OF them err
roneous, having gotten in circulation,
Messrs. Miller and Rhoads have made
for publication a definite statement, as
follows:
Miller and Rhoads have acquired the
leases OF the properties known MS the
Valentine estate. corner Sixth and
Broad Streets. consisting OF the store
now and lately occupied by the Wag-
ner Drug Company, the two stores lately
occupied by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company and Brulles ice cream parlor.
and the store now occupied by A. M.
Meyer and Brother. jewellers.
Miller and Rhoads, however. will only
have possession for the present OF the
two stores recently vacated by the At
lantic and Pacific Tea Company and
Brulle's.
AAtoV Ou'iubHbo Will w boih hOWii
at once and replaced with structure
to correspond with the present Miller and
Rhoads's stores.
Mr.. A. f. Hunt will be the architect
of tho new building. which will be mod
ern In every detail.
1t was enormously stated that Miller
and Rhoads had purchased the leases
of the stores now held by Meyer Brothyrs
and the Wagner Drug Company. This is
incorrect. Miller and Rhoads will not
come into possession OF these stores until
the leases Of the present tenants ex-
pire.
Miller and Rhoads have recently in
corporated under the laws of Virginia
for the more convenient handling OF their
business. as well as to give Mr.. A. B.
Laughan. their superintendent. an inter-
est in the business, In recognition OF his
faithful services covering a period OF
fourteen years. Under the incorporation
Mr.. Laughan becomes secretary and gen.
eral manager OF the store. There will
be practically no change in the former
management of the store. simply a change
of titles of its officers

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 21.-Tacoma
people are not suffering from the need
of fuel, although the scarcity of coal
and wood is causing considerable in
convenence-was the substance of
statements made by local coal dealers
to members of the state investigating
committee at it's session today, and the
Tacoma Eastern railway and the Ia
coma Railway and Power company
promised to cooperate with retail fuel
dealers in rushing to the city several
thousand cords of wood.
This afternoon Chairman Fairchild
arranged for the relief of cities in
Eastern Washington which have been
suffering because of the fuel famine by
securing the promise of the Oregon
nish all available coal cars to the
Northern Pacific, to be used in rushing
coal from British Columbia to nom
competitive points on the oregon Rail-
way & Navigation railroad which
have been suffering acutely because of
the lack of fuel.
Chairman Fairchid, at the close of
todays sessions, completely exoner-
ated the officials of the operating de-
partment of the Northern Pacific rail-
way from chrages that have been made
against them, and adds:
But the executive department Of
the railroad has sadly neglected its
duty in not keeping pace with the
growth of the country"

HANG BOY TWICE
BEFORE He DIES
Rope Parts at First Drop and Youth
Writhes on the Ground In Agony
While the Break Is
Repaired
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HOUSTON, Mo-, Dec. 21.-The ex-
ecution here today of Joda Hamilton,
the 20-year-old farmer boy, for the
murder of five members of the family
of Barney Parsons a farmer, was
horrible affair. Two attempts were
necessary before the hanging proved
successful.
The first rope broke.
At the first attempt Hamilton shot
thorugh the trap with d jerk and the
spectators were Mortified to see the
rope part.
Hamilton dropped to the ground and
lay there writhing in pain.
Partially conscious he was picked up
quickly and carried second time to
the scaffold
The rope was hurriedly placed about
the boys neck and the trap again
sprung. This time it was successful.
The trap was sprung at 11:05. 1t
required some time to repair the rope
and it was lilo before the trap was
sprung the second time.
The attending physician expressed
the belief that Hamilton was fatally
injured by the first fall and died be-
fore he dropped the second time.
The body was turned over to Ham
ilton's father.

DREAD OF PRISON
Fears Life Sentence and Attendant
Discomforts-Is Taken to the
Penitentiary and Placed

BY Associated Press.

by ASFOcldleu I'TeSS.
OSSINING, N Y, Dec. 21.-Albert
Z. Patrick, convicted of the murder
of William NJ. Rice, was officially noti-
fled today by Warden Johnson of the
ccmmutation Of his death sentence to
Imprisonment for life by Governor
Higgins and wNs taken from the death
house, where he has been confined for
four years and eight months, and
placed i'm a cell i'm the main prison.
Since Patrick has been in the death
house he has given no trouble what
ever to the warden or keepers. Now,
however, he shows dread of the main
prison, for as a life convict he will
have to comply with the prison rules.
During his long Incarceration i'm the
death house he has had a large roomy
cell. has had the use of all the books
and papers he desired and has re-
ceived frequent visits from his wife.
In the main prison he will be con-
fined to an occasional book from the
prison library. and according to the
prison rules the visits of his wife will
be far less frequent than formerly.
In the past Patrick has been sup
piled by the warden with choice meals,
hut hereafter he will have to be satis-
fled with they regular prison fare.
