GOES TO THE PENiTENTIARY
FOR TWENTY YEARS.
AROUSED TO QUICK ACTION
ENORMlTY OF MANS CRIME RE.
Suits IN SPEEDY JUSTICE
BEING METED OUT.

Philadelphia, June 20.-Twenty
years of hard labor in solitary confine-
ment in the Eastern penitentiary is
the sentence that has been pronounced
on John Joseph Kean, the abductor of
little Freddie Muth. The enormity of
the mans crime, which had aroused
the whole city, stirred the officers of
the law to quick action and the swift
ness with which justice moved has
never been equalled in this commun-
ity. Kean fell into the clutches of
the law Monday afternoon about the
time the courts were closing. Prompt
ly at lO o'clock a. M he was photo
graphed and measured by the Bertil-
lion method Twenty-Five minutes
later he had been arraigned before a
magistrate and committed to court
without bail. The grand jury quickly
found true bill and at 11:2O a. m. he
was in the criminal court awaiting his
turn to face Judge Sulzberger. Shortly
after 12 o'clock the Judge passed SEN
tence upon him, and at 1: 80 the great
iron doors of the penitentiary closed
behind him. In his quick trip from
liberty to the solitude of Cherry Hill.

famous in his American Notes" by
condemning its system of solitary
confinement, no friendly hand or voice
was raised in the prisoners behalf
II he behaves himself his sentence,
under the law, will be reduced to
twelve years and three months The
court had the power to give him a life
sentence.
Much sympathy is expressed for the
wife and three children Kean leaves

WOULD REMEDY THE DEFECTS.
Congress Worried Over Interstate
Commerce Law.

Washington, June 20.-The recent
failure to convict the beef packers in
Chicago of conspiracy under the inter-
state commerce law because of the
claim Of immunity set up by them and
sustained by the court has given con-
gress no end of anxious moments with
a view of enacting some law that will
remedy the defects from which the
government suffered by reason of
Judge Humphreys decision. The SEN
ate passed a bill on the subject which
the house also has passed inserting an
entire new bill after the enacting
clause. 1t will now go to conference.
Referring to the criticism that has
been heaped upon Judge Humphrey
because of the decision, Mr.. Little
field (Me) said there was justifica-
tion for the decision under the uncer-
tainty that exists upon the subject of
immunity granted witnesses under
the interstate commerce law and the
law establishing the department of
commerce and labor. The public fol-
lowed the lines laid down by Attorney
General Moody in that respect.

AGRARIAN LEGISLATION.
Election of Committee Initiates Its
Second Stage.

st. Petersburg, June 20.-1he elcc-
tion of the agrarian committee OF
ninety-nine initiates the second stage
of agrarian legislation in the lower
house of parliament; but the un-
wieldly size of the committee and the
reservation Of eight places for mem
bers who have not yet arrived gives
slight prospect Of speedy presenta-
tion of a draft of law. The COM
mittee consists virtually OF the inner
circle of the strongest men in parlia-
ment.
The make up Of the COMMITTEES IS
regarded as moderate, and the selcc-
ton of MN. Petrajlvsky and Lvoff is
evidence that the Constitutional
Democrats are not irrevocably COM
mitted to the project elaborated BY
the party convention held on the eve
OF the assembling Of parliament, both
the deputies named having vigorous
ly attacked the provision for the
rental instead of sale of appropriated
lands as a step towards nationaliza-
ton. The Polish representatives are
utterly opposed to this proposition and
it probably will be eliminated, as it
was inserted only in Difference to the
radical group, which the Constitution
al Democratic leaders are no longer
attempting to conciliate.
The woman suffrage debate evoked
arguments familiar in the United
States, NJ. Petrunkevich picturing
regiment of Amazons guarding the
Tauride palace; but the discussion as
sumed almost the dimensions of a
riot when it was transferred to the
corridors, where a deputation OF wo-
man suffragists conducted a tumultll-
Gus propaganda and assailed with
such vehemence peasant members
who opposed the principle that the
deputies fed.

HOUSE MEMBERS ALMOST UNAN-
iMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF NEW
INSPECTION BILL.
MEETS PRESIDENTS WISHES
OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES OF
FORMER AMENDMENTS HAVE
BEEN ELIMINATED.

Washington, June 20.-With prac-
tical unanimity the house adopted the
substitute amendment for the Beve-
ridge amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill relating to meat in
spection, the Objectionable features of
the former amendments being elmi-
mated and the amendment perfected
to meet the wishes of the president.
An effort was made to extend the time
Of debate but Mr. Wadsworth, chair
man of the committee on agriculture,
desiring to get the bill into conference
as soon as possible, objected to the
granting Of additional time, although
nearly an hour was consumed in the
explanation and debate upon the meas
ure. After the adoption Of the amend
ment the bill was sent to conference,
the conferees being Mr.. Wadsworth,
Mr.. Scott (Kan.) and Mr.. Lamb (Va).
Immediately after the disposition Of
the agricultural appropriation bill,
bills under suspension of the rules
were passed. Among the more i'm
portant were the bill In relation to
the immunity of witnesses in govern
ment cases; to establish the standard
of value, and to provide for a coinage
system in the Philippine islands and
granting the right to the city of St.
Louis to erect a free bridge across the
Mississippi river at that point.
Through the efforts of Mr. Champ
Clark of Missouri and Mr. Williams Of
Mississippi the bill known as the
subsidiary silver coinage measure
failed Of securing enough votes to
pass it under the rule.

Capital of Haakon the Good.
Trondhjem, June 20.-King Haakon
VII, his queen and his son are now
in the ancient capital of Haakon the
Good, where Norway was first created
nation. They arrived at 6: 30 o'clock
p. m. in the gunboat Heimdal, amid
scenes Of picturesqueness The elab-
crate preparations for their reception
had hardly been completed before
crowds began to congregate along the
route of the procession from the pier
to the palace, On the breakwater and
bluffs marking the entrance on the
hills trimming the harbor. Expecta-
Norwegians Parisians in their gayety.
They waited in the monday sun that
streams upon Trondhiem long after
other suns have set.
On the pier was built a great pavil-
ion in the old Morse form, decorated
with greenery and the nations colors,
and fanked by tribunes. Around the
pavilion were gathered members Of
the diplomatic corps from Christiania,
officers of the army and navy and
municipal officials. All save the lat
ter We're brilliantly uniformed.
At Cos O'Clock the guns of the Dan
ish warship Hekla, booming the royal
salute, gave the crowds the announce
ment that the kings yacht was ap-
preaching. The full salute was fired
and the granite walls of the ford had
hnfnrn tho
Heimdal rounded the promontory.
The crowds waited silently until the
yacht entered her slip, when they
broke into the short, sharp hurrahs
that express Norwegian enthusiasm.
Cheer Their New Rulers.
The first figure discernible on the
deck was the little crown prince, Olaf.
in white sailor suit, held high above
the rail by his nurse. The king soon
joined the prince and the crowd
barked out another cheer, which was
renewed when Queen Maud appeared,
King Haakon is extremely hand
some and his tall, slender figure
looked exceedingly we'll in an admir-
ais uniform.
The members of the royal family
speedily landed and shook hands with
the members of the diplomatic corps,
the municipal officials and army and
navy officers. The king conversed
briefly with several Of the diplomats
and told the German minister, Dr.
Steubel, that he was delighted with
the prospective visit of Emperor Will
lam. The municipality presented an
address Of welcome, for which King
Haakon returned his thanks. Then,
taking Crown Prince Olaf in his
arms, the king accompanied by Queen
Maud, entered a carriage, and, es
corted by troop Of cavalry, drove to
the palace through cheering crowds.
Throngs Of people surrounded the
palace for hours and cheered the king
and queen when they appeared at a
window.
Although Norway is regarded as
safely outside the bomb belt of Eu-
rope and country free from violent
political animosities, the Norwegian
police are taking precautions to pro-
tect King Haakon and the visiting
princes and other notable person
ages.

beans six to eight inches apart in
the row. Some planters have spe-
cial attachments for planting beans.
The ground should be narrowed after
the beans are planted and the surface
may be thoroughly cultivated at that
time. The only cultivation necessary
to grow them is frequent stirring of
the surface to keep down weeds and
retain moisture. Deep blowing should
be avoided, since it is unnecessary
and harmful.
The beans should be allowed to
ripen and become brown before be.

ling. There are several contrivances
for pulling and cutting the beans,
one of the simplest and most practi-
cal is shown in the cut.
It consists of knife, which may
be made by any blacksmith, which
is bolted to the stock of an ordinary
single shovel plow. With one horse
this instrument may be used to cut
several acres day. The pillow should
be held SO that the knife passes along
just under the surface of the ground
cutting the bean stems about one-halt
inch below the surface.
After allowing the beans to dry
and the leaves to wilt, they may be
gathered into piles with a four-tined
fork, where they may be allowed to
remain for day or two if the weather
is dry. They should then be hauled to
shelter and placed in pile not more
than three feet deep. If leaves are
very green, there is danger of mold
ing, which will seriously injure the
beans. They must be left in this
pile until thoroughly dry and the
shells have become hard and brit
tie. They may then be hulled, either
by beating them out with stick, or
by using one of the hullers, several
makes of which are on the market.

suggested by Farm and Home may
be made from the sketch. 1t con-

peaceful shores of thousand rivers;
it fringes the wayside of numberless

share of normal humanity and not
the abnormal excess of state APP
