NOT BE SHOT
DEATH SENTENCES OF THREE
 AMERICAN CRIMINALS.
A Mothers Tears and Pleadings Moves Ambassaasr Greet sf Msxtsss to Recommend Clemency for
 Convicted Murderers.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-yA special to The Tribune from Washington, D. C.. says:
 Moved by a mothers tears and plead ings, Ambassador Creel. of Mexico. wired last night to Jose Marc San chez, Governor of the State of Chihu- ahau, Mexico, recommending that the sentences of Dr. Charles B. Harle, Will liam Mitchell and Leslie Hubert Amer jeans, condemned to be shot there, be commuted to twenty years imprison- ment.
 The execution of the three men who were condemned for two murders in connection with insurance frauds. had been set for December 9th. Senor Creel is the actual Goverrfor of Chiu- uahua. He was detached to fill the diplomatic mission to this country and while thus engaged has no authority as Governor. But his moral influence is high in his own country. where he not only is a commanding statesman, but a member of a rich and powerful family.
 T cannot command" said the Ann bassador. but l feel sure Senor San chez will follow my recommendations. He has full power to do so without reference to the Central Government. He will receive my message this morn ing."
 The appeal that may save the lives of three Americans was made by Mrs. Annie L. Harle, of Abilene, Texas. mother of Dr. Harle. after practically every other means of obtaining clem- ency had been exhausted. The three men. two of whom were from New York State. were convicted and sent enced in 1905.
 Numerous letters have been received by the State Department asking. in- terference. but none of the papers bore any evidence of the innocence of the men or doubt of their guilt. The State Department found no ground upon which to act.
 Mrs. Harle went to see Senator Cul- person and Representative Smith, of Texas. Their sympathy being aroused. they awakened the interest of mem bers of the New York delegation who are here. These members Of Congress United with the mother in the. appeal to the Mexican Ambassador, who yield. ed his influence more out of pity for the unfortunate woman. than by rea- son of the suggestions made by the Congressmen.

HARRY KLEINSCHMIDT
 MAINTAINS HIS NERVE
Continued. Tortures Fail to Bring Forth
 r.nfan~f0n

BerkIey. Cal, Nov. 27.-If Harry KIeinschmidt, wealthy young SUI dent of the State University ana olo- est son in the Kleinschmidt famiiy or
 1t, murdered his friend and rt,g. love, Frank Bellows, he Is one .g Ha coolest and most matter of II rng murderers with whom the ' ..xs pe. ice have ever had to deal.
 r.gs possible device and trick Of sea fl d degree" and the sweat box ,,s~tr has been brought to bear on
 g man to trap him into some
 ent or contradictory statement put so far the cleverest work or the officers has rspt worked the young stu. dent. The two beautiful sisters of the accused, Misses Bertha and Ellen KIeinschmidt, also assert their belief that their brother will be purged of every suspicion of guilt when the case once comes to court.
 In regard to the statements or MISS Kerfoot that she was brutally attacked and subjected to the most revolting treatment by Kleinschmidt in the base ment of his home, the very day that the dead body was found. one of the sisters said. we know nothing of Miss Kerfoot being at our home on that day. We had many days before that ordered her from our home after Harry accidentally found the package of letters which showed what Kind of a girl she was. We would have nothing more to do with her after that And it was only to save Mir. Bellows from that girl that Harry warned him of her character. It Is absurd to say that Harry murdered his friend Bel lows because of his infatuation for Miss Kerfoot. He wanted to have nothing more to do with her after what we found out. The whole thing. as far as Harry is concerned. Is grotesque farce. He will certainly be vindi- cated.'
 The writ of habeas corpus sworn out by Kleinschmidt's attorneys is made returnable next Monday. District At torney Brown hopes to have the grand jury take ac Acn on Friday and thus forestail the habeas corpus proceedings by an indictment.

RAPIDLY CLEARING
SUCCESS OF GOVERNMENT BOND ISSUE SEEMS ASSURED
situetien At the TReasuRy Department Sesterday Afterhoon Was So
 Relaxed That C0rtelyOu
 Left His once Early.

Washington, Nov. 27-The situation ~ the Treasury was so far relaxed tnis ,atternon that Secretary Cortel- you was able to leave the Department
 There is no longer any doubt among treasury officials of the success of both the loans. the Panama Canal bonds, aud the one year Treasury certificates. IT considerably less than 0o.000, 900 is allotted in the certificates, it will be because so large an i-sue is no longer tclt to be necessary to restore the sit- nation. Calculations are already being made as to the probable condition in the money market next spring and the ability to call in a part of the certifi- cates
 If tho amount issued should be only $5O.O00,000. and half of these should be paid off in six months, the interest charges would fall materially below the $3,000.00 originally calculated up- on the full issue for one year. The sum of $25.000.000 for six months would draw interest to the amount of $S75.000 and an additional amount of $25,000,- 900 for one year would draw $750,000, making a total of $1,125,000. It is pos sible that some of the certificates could be called for payment within an even shorter period than six months. It will probably be the policy at about lidb Littie u WltHQIdW fiVHCy from the banks in addition to the amount required to pay off the certifi- cates, but this will be done in case the accumulated effect of gold imports, additional bank note circulation, the deposit of public money and the lib- eration of hoards creates a plethora of money in circulation which calls for rectification.
 if the certificates are generally used fA fnar han nl alone will result in an addition of from s3O, 900, ,000 to S40,000.000 to the currency outside tho Treasury and what gold imports and the new bank circulation already issuer, will make an addition of more than $1b0,O0O,0O0 to the new currency recently placed at tn disposal of the market.
 The nominal cash balance of the Treasury today was $241,393,217, but this was subject to the deduction of $234,939,5S9 in~ banks and elsewhere. working balance. The cash actually held in the Treasury now stands at $119,43S,O11. But this Is offset by out standing checks and other demand lia- bilities amounting to $112,sS4.3s3. Re- ceipts continue to fall b low the aver age of a year ago, but were little better today than for the correspond ing day last year. The month of No- vember, thus far, has shown sur plus of receipts of $2,93l,64o as against a surplus in November, 1906, of S4,- 7ss.f47. but this result has been ob- tained by keeping down expenditures by more than s6.O00.0o0 during the month, although for the fiscal year be- ginning July there has been an in- crease in expenditures of more than s13,500,000.

FAVOR SLACKWATER
REPORT IS READ ON MUSSEL SHOALS PROJECT.
Mray Recommendations are Made and
 it is Believed Government VIII Construct the Necessary Locks.

wash hington. Nov. 27.-(Special D. Representative Richardson today read at the offices of the Bureau of En- gfneers the report made by the board of engineers appointed last spring to investigate thoroughly the Mussel Shoals project as provided by the river and harbor bill enacted at the close of the Fifty ninth Congress.
 The report, Judge Richardson says, is lengthy and highly interesting doc ument, covering about forty typewrit- ten pages. On the whole Judge Rich ardson regards 1t as entirely satisfac- tory to all the interests concerned ipt the development of power plants at the sh oals. aud at the same time 1T the recommendations of the board are carried out it is believed that the nav igation of the river will be substantial ly benefited.
 The recommendations in effect is for slack water navigation. It Is also fully understood that the Government will be wiling to construct the necessary locks on the twenty-six mile stretch of the river. The corporations or firms that may put up power plants will. Of course, have to build the necessary dams.
 Judge Richardson is of the opinion that the report does not contain any insurmountable objections so far. as those who wish to erect power plants are concsrned. and he thinks the re- commentators in general will prove satisfactory to the public.
 Lieutenant Colonel Rossell, with headquarters at Cincinnati. is chair man of the board. Judge Richardson believes that the recommendafi"na s''n-

NEW ROAD ACROSS CONTINENT.

The great lakes for AL time re-
main the favored freight route from
the West to tide-water, but when the
lakes are frozen, if the crops increase
as the have increased for the past
decade, there will always be millions
of bushels of wheat awaiting ship
ment in the West. In order to haul
wheat at a profit two thousand miles
from the wheat-fields to the Atlantic,
it is absolutely necessary that the
road be as free as may be from heavy
grades and excessive curves. While
the entire line is not yet definitely To-
Gated, enough field-work has been
done TO demonstrate beyond a doubt
that the Transcontinental will be, as
far as grades go, one of the best laid
lines across this continent From
the great wheat-felds of the West to
tide-water on the Atlantic the grades
going east will, in all probability, not
exceed 0.4 of foot per 100 feet. This
will mean that modern locomotive
will handle forty-two cars between
Winnipeg and Moncton.
The first surveys of the government
section under the commissioners were
commenced in October. 1904. The
first contracts from near Winnipeg
to point 245 miles east thereof, and
from the north end o. the Quebec
bridge for $50 miles westerly, a to-
tai distance of 1896 miles, is being
awarded as this article is being pre-
pared. lnasmuch as the prime pur-
pose of the road is to relieve any
possible congestion of grain at Winnie
peg the government is doing every
thing in its power to facilitate the
construction of that part of the line
from Winnipeg to Superior Junction,
where it will be met a branch line
now being built by the Grand Trunk
Pacific Company northwesterly from
Fort William to connect with the
! main Transcontlnental line By this
means it is expected that the new
| road may be built in time to partici-
| pate in the transportation OF the
| crop of 1907. AS one evidence of the
rapidity with which the output of the
western fields is growing it is stated
that in 1901 the Grand Trunk Rail-
way system received at it's Lake
Huron ports 100000 bushels OF
| wheat. Last year the receipts reach
ed 297G4,000 bushels.-Hugh ID. Lum-
den in Scribner.

Always to he Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morning
with a dull headache and tired, stretchy
feeling, il is an almost certain indication
that the liver, or bowels, or both, are de-
cidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest and
best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help and
gentle assistance which can best be OBJ
tanned from that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use
for over century.
They are the same fine laxative tonic
pill your grandparents used, when doctors
were few and far between and when peo-
pie had to have remedy that could abb
solutely be depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon
and are sold in every drug and medicine
store, either plain or sugar-coated.
