EXECUTION or SPIES.
The way the Death sentence Is Car
ried oat In England.


The ceremony OF disposing of con
demned spy In the English army al
ways follows a definite precedent. The
unfortunate man is surrounded by o
detachment of infantry, and after he
Is provided with a pick and shovel be
Is marched or to selected spot and
ordered to dig his own grave. This
done. the tools are taken from him
and his eyes are bandaged. The at
tending chaplain reads portions select
cd from the burial service, and from
the ranks OF the escort twelve men are
selected at random by the officer in
charge. These men. having stacked
their own rifles, are led to where twelve
other rifles are awaiting them, six Of
which are loaded with blank cartridges.
One OF these is handed to each man, so
that no one knows whether the rifle he
holds contains bullet or not and none
can say for certain that the shot fired
by him killed the prisoner. The firing
Varty then marches to an appointed
Rsltion. The commands present.
@lreT' are given, and almost before
tie last word rings out the volley is
fred and the spy falls into the grave
he has dug. Nearly every man is more
or less affected on being selected to
form one of the firing party, and many
men have been known to faint away on
being singled out. while others are SO
overcome as TO be scarcely able TO pull
the triggers OF their rider.

The demonstra tion came as a surprise. 1t was

TEXAS WONDER TO
JOIN The BRE WERS
Andreas Is Sought for Shortstop
Position TO Replace "Rab-
E... bit" Robinson. H.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, March 2s.-While the deal is not
completed, it can be taken for granted that
Andreas the Texas infelder who is doing such
sensational work for the whitesox, now training
in the south, will take the place of rabbit"
Robinson at short for the Milwaukee team the
coming season. Andreas was drafted by Charles
Comiskey from the Dallas club of the Texas
league last fall, having been highly recommended
by the major league ball players who saw him
work in exhibition games and by the agents
OF the Chicago club who are constantly the
lookout tor promising young material. ....
Since the 'whitesoS have been their train
ing trip the newspaper writers have been loud
in their praises of Andreas, for he has been
able to hold his against such remarkable
fielders as Davis, Tannehll and Dundon.
However. it looks Ike taking chance to
entrust such an important position as shortstOp
to youngster in league where there is so
ISOLATION. But Manager Cantilon makes few
mistakes, and he has probably been convinced
that Andreas will make good or he would not
have entered into deal for him.
Harry McChesney, the Milwaukee outfielder,
arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon and was
Immediately dispatched to Des Moines to begin
work with the other brewers now there. No
other Milwaukee player has put in appearance.
and it looks as tho the squad would consist of
not more than six players until Manager Can
tillon gets back from Hot Springs about April 1.
McChesney is looking fit to begin playing at
once. He said that the report that he did not
want to play for Manager Cantilon was mis-
take. as he would rather work for him than
any other manager in the business. He explains
his desire to have his release from Milwaukee
as being merely a business proposition. If he
was free to sign where he chose he should sell
himself for perhaps $3.50. And thfs was worth
trying for.
He also said that when he did not get a con-
tract he considered that he had a perfect right
to so do If he could not get ruling releasing
him, and in this baseball men agree. Now that
he has failed, McChesney will give his best
effort to the Milwaukee club he did last year
and he says he is convinced he has recovered
from his batting slump.

SEE TROUBLE AHEAD
Special Agents Appearance Causes Un

SIOUX FALLS, s. D.-M. D. McEniry, spe-
cial agent of the general land office at Wash.
ington. has been In Walworth county for several
days. and as a result, uneasiness exists among
those few homesteaGers who have" reason tC
fear that the investigation conducted by the
special agent may cause them trouble when
they attempt to make fna! -roof on their
hOmeSteadS. '-<
AS a general rule, the homesteaders have
fully complied with the public land laws. but
is invariably the case there are few of
them who have attempted to hold homesteads
while engaged in business at some nearby town.
and it is these persons who have reason to an
ticipate trouble when their final proofs are
presented to the land office.
The land office officials are becoming more
strict as to the proofs they accept. and re-
Gently some. final proofs in that ana other parts
of the state have been rejected because the
persons making the proofs have not fully com
piled with the law as to terms o. residence
and character of improvements made on their
homesteads. The, visit of the special agent will
result in a full compliance hereafter by all
homesteaders with the laws governing the dis
Dosal of public LANDS.

Iowa City, Iowa, March 2S--More dissatisfac-

University of Iowa with the new rules for the
government of football which were adopted by
the local university senate last week than has
appeared during all of the previous time the mat
ter has been in controversy. 1t will be impossi-
bic for Captain Swift to play next year and
Neurum, Moore and Sidel will be disqualified.
1t is believed the rule works an unintentonal
injustice the students of several colleges. At
Iowa the college Of pharmacy offers a two-yeac
course Under the new rules a, student of that
college will not be permitted to play his first
year, account of the freshman residence rule,
and will not be permitted to play his third
year while taking graduate work because he will
have received a degree. His football career at
the university therefore, will be confined to one
season.
Captain Schwinn and Coach Chalmers are OPP
posed to the abolition Of the training table.
They declare this action will materially weaken
the physical ability Of the men and probably
will result in increase in the number of IN
