BARE CHANCE FOR PAOLUCCI
One Hope Seems to Be in italian
Ambassadors Appeal.
Applications of Attorney Not E1-
peeted 10 Move President TO Com
mute Sentence of Murderer.

Attorneys representing Joseph PaoIuecI
condemned Italian murderer, whose exc
cution has been set for Monaay morn
ing. entertain little hope that President
Roosevelt will take favorable action upon
the application they have placed before
him through the Department OF Justice
FOR communication OF the sentence.
The application was filed several DAYS
ago by Messrs. Lambert. Taylor & Yeat-
man, Paolucci's counsel. It IS understood
the district attorneys Office declined TO
recommend the Communication.
In view Of this fact Paoluccrs fate ap-
pears 10 be sealed. He has but one hope
left and that is the appeal which the
italian Ambassador may make In his be-
half 10 the President.
District Attorney Baker also fled a
memorandum with the Department OF
Justice in which be stated that. in view
Of the manner in which Paolucc. COM
mtted the murder, he could not. after
looking into all the circumstances in the
case, recommend a Communication OF the
sentence 10 life Imprisonment.
The Italian is said to be in poor health.
Reports that lie is IN a critical state are
said TO be exaggerated.
In September. 1906, PaOluccI shot down
and instantly killed Elizabeth V. Dodge. a
sixteen-year-old girl with whom he was
In love. The Italian shot her because she
refused 20 receive him as a suitor. ana
the night before the shooting had made
threats against her.

DISSATISFIED AND QUITS
Stevens Resigns as Superintendent
Of Bathing Beach.
Tells Of BADLY -Remunerated Serv-
iees-LaSt straw Laid on by In
spector OF Buildings.

W X Stevens, superintendent OF the
Washington bathing beach. rendered his
resignation TO Commissioner West yester-
day
The reasons given for his resignation
are that for many years he managed
the beach without remuneration, and in
al the years OF service he has devoted
to the duties, the pay has been Inadequate
for the varied character and amount OF
service required.
But the direct cause OF my resIgna-
tion." Mr. Stevens said, "is the peculiar
management by the District Office OF the
inspector OF buildings. whereby. IN my
opinion. a considerable sum OF money ap-
propriated for the use OF the bathing
beach has been wasted"
stevens resignation has been accepted
by the Commissioners, 10 take effect on
March 30. 1905
Commissioner West, IN answer to the
criticisms made by Stevens. said:
1T should be stated that Mr.. Stevens
made a series Of charges concerning
the work done under the contracts for
work on the bathing beach before.
The Engineer Commissioner and I
spent two hours at the bathing beach
making q thorough examination OF the
character OF the work done, uncoyering
concrete piles which were said 10 be not
according TO the specifications and en-
deavoring In every way 10 discoser any
shortcomings OF the contractor. The re-
suit Of the examination convinced US that
the statements made by Mr. Stevens were
not well fou ed.
'Mr. Steve has been associated with
the bathing peach from its inception In
view-cf- his devotion 10 its interests he
has been retained as superintendent, and
would not have been disturbed Il he had
not voluntarily rendered his resignation.
In view OF the fact that he has now
rendered his connections. I move that a
letter be addressed to Cuno c. Rudolph.
president Of the Fairgrounds Association.
informing him that vacancy has thus
been created and suggesting that his as
sociation recommend suitable man as
superintendent OF the bathing beach, with
the ultimate purpose Of connecting the
bathing beach with the system Of pub
lie recreation grounds now being estab-
lished in Washington
In the last estimates submitted by the
Commissioners 10 Congress an item Of
$4,000 was included for the purpose OF
concreting the bottom OF the bathing
beach pool. With this improvement. the
bathing beach Will be more popular than
II was last summer, when several thou
sand persons frequentel Il. although 1t
was open for only about one month.
After more Improvements are made 10
the beach, efforts VIII be made 10 have
it kept open for a longer period during
the summer.
The drainage and water supply was
thoroughly fixed last summer When the
concrete floor has been constructed. the
bathing beach promises to be all that
could be desired.

in Present Controversy.

Waiting patiently for. the board of edu-
cation TO submit estimates for the neces-
sary Improvements for increased fire pro-
lection for the public schools of the Dis
trict, the. Commissioners said yesterday
that they cannot act too quick in the mat
ter.
While they are waiting, the Comm,s-
sioners have again seen the necessity CT
bringing attention 20 the fact that they
have recommended in full all the board OF
education estimates that have ever been
submitted TO them. and transmitted every
year to Congress the full text of the es-
Inmates OF the board OF education. which
Congress has considered side by side with
the estimates recommended by the Com
missioners.
Commissioner Macfarland said yester-
day that as soon as the board OF educa-
ton submitted the estimates for increased
fire protection for public schools. for
which the Commissioners had asked as
a result OF the first reports of Chief En-
gineer Belt. and the report of Supt
Stuart. the Commissioners would act
promptly upon them. He added that
under the Instructions given Chief Belt.
on March Z. he would investigate the con-
ditions in all the public schools and re-
port to the Commissioners, who would
continue to send the reports 10 the board
OF education, and ask that board for nee
essary estimates. and also for such cor

preparations as were IN the boards ad-
