Chicago POisoner Gets a
 Reprieye.
WAS THRICE SENTENCED.

Chicago. June 13. A remarkable demonstration followed the decision oi Judge Landis of the federal court tc permit the case of Herman Billek. sen fenced to die, to be carried to the Unit ed States supreme court A crowd had surrounded the jail. Everything was ready for the execution. Then the word came that stay had been or dered. tf
 Immediately the crowd cheered, and those inside the jail heard. Every pris oner in the jail gave yell, and the shouting of the prisoners over the good fortune of Billek could be heard for a blcck.
 Three times the man has been sen. fenced to die since his conviction for the murder of Mary yrzal, and each time he has been reprieved. Billek. a fortune teller, who went to live with the Vrzal family. was accused, with the mother of the girl, with having poisoned five members of the family for insurance money. The mother com mitted suicide, and the testimony that convicted Billek was circumstantial. $ Jerry Vrzal. eighteen years old, after testifying against his mother admitted his evidence was false.
 Owes Life to Priest.
 The Rev. Father O'Callaghan. the father confessor of the man, declared him innocent. AS a last resort mass meetings were held. These were ad- dressed by the priest. Jerry Vrzal and the small daughter of the man under sentence of death. A volunteer com. mittee made midnight appeal to Gov. ernor Deneen to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. Six jurors that brought in the verdict of guilty made affidavit that had they been aware that the Vrzal boys testimony was false they would not have convicted.
 A writ of habeas corpus brought into the federal court was dismissed. The application was based upon the allega- tion that the man had been deprived of his constitutional right, because when condemned to death he was not asked if he had anything to say or any reason to give why sentence should not be pronounced. .-. . ...
 Judge Delays Execution.
 Judge Landis, after asking the hour set for the execution, informed the prosecutions representative that there must not be an execution until de- cision on the new point was given.
 At that hour there were many hun dreds at the jail. A woman beat the prison door with her fists and shouted that they were going to hang an inno- cent man.
 The judge, after hearing the argu. ments, said that, while he did not be. lieve there was any merit in the point raised for the prisoner, he. felt that he did not have the right to deny the ap- plication. This ruling leaves the case in the air until the supreme court hands down an opinion.

Young notes that the appropriation
is likely to prove insufficient, and
that while the legislature will doubt
less care for any deficiency it is de-
sired to hold down the bill. He says
in his letter to county commission
erS:
Both county and state are peculiar
ly liable to fraud in this matter, at
the hands of unscrupulous persons.
The number of hours day for each
warden or deputy should be kept
within the bonds of probability.
The warden should be carefully
questioned with reference to the
origin of the fire, its location and ex-
tent the number of persons EN-
ployed by him and the number
of hours which each person worked.
Care should be taken to eliminate
claims for fictitious persons physic-
ally incapable of performing the
work.
cit should aIso po borne in mind
that no person or corporation has 4
right to compensation for extinguish.
ing fires on his own property, and
care should be taken to inquire into
all claims with this matter in view.

and whatever money is available
will be disbursed pro rata on that

Uncle Samuel
A Republican.

William Howard Taft was elected
President of the United States by
majorities running well up toward
the colossal vote polled by Theodore
Roosevelt four years ago, when AL
ton B. Parker was showed under
New York has gone for Taft by
about 900, 200 which exceeds Roose-
velt'S plurality over Parker by %,
600. Greater New York went for
Taft, and yet Tammany trading did
not suffice to defeat Governor
Hughes, who will have plurality of
$4,000 over Chanler.
Congress is certainly Republican,
with practically the same majority
that controlled the last House.
Pennsylvania has rolled ups plu-
rality of 10000 for Taft and Sher-
man.
Philadelphia gives Taft more than
100000 plurality, and Gilfillan's plur-
ality over Gibboney for Sheriff is be-
tween 10000 and 100000.
Maryland is Republican by 10000
and Delaware by 2500. West Vir-
ginia is claimed for Taft by ma
jority 10000. Returns from Ohio
are usually late, but the indications
are it is Republican by decreased

ernor Harris and Judson Harmon

has rolled up $4,000 for Taft, the
same plurality Roosevelt had four

New "Old Glory "

Clevland Ohio, Oct. 23rd. John
Eisenman, the architect, proposes to
remodel the Star Spangled Banner.
He has started movement to that
end which will reach Congress in
formal fashion this Fall. AS an
architect, Eisenman says the flag is
not Symmetrical. Besides it has
other faults. What the 6. A. r..
veterans who carried the banner in
to battle will say to the remodeling
effort is another story.
Eisenman has drawn a plan for
new flag, flag that will be SYM
etrical. He will give this design
to the United States Cove rnment.
The principal change he wants is
dropping the union, the blue star
spotted field from the upper left
hand corner to the middle of the
bunting. In the Eisenman design
this union has stripes above as well
as below it. In addition to this the
architect proposes to color the
orlgonal thirteen stars red and
make them six pointed, leaving the
stars for the other states white and
Ave pointed, as they now are. The
flag which carried but thirteen stars
had six-pointed ones.
Still anther modification urged by
Eisenman is the representation of
the Territories. possessions and Dis
trict of Columbia by white disks To-
Gated among the white stars that
stand for the States. Arizona, New
Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
the PHILIPPINES and any other odd
bits of territory acquired in the future
would be entitled to disks. AT pres
ent the blue field carries stars only
for states actually within the union.
| Eisenman's argument is that his
}scheme will allow for all future
growth by the United States. II
1 Arizona and New Mexico were adj
mitted, for instance, it will not be
necessary to re-arraDge the design of
, the Union, as the case is now. Just
, turn a disk already on the blue field
: into five-pointed star, and there
J YOU are. Moreover his symetrical
design will admit of enlarging the
: union in fashion to retain the pro-
: portions of the flag. With the pres
ent flag the union has been growing
: as new States have been added,
r while the rest of the flag retained
the same size as before
, Artists have objected that decorat-
e ors could use the flag in but one po-
sition because it would otherwise
$ appear with the union upside-down
r in which position it is a signal o1
!, distress. Mr., Eisenman argues tina,
: his design would permit decorators
twisting and turning the folds il
o any fashion. In answer to the OBJ
lection tn at this robs the standard ol
its utility as its distress signal, he eX
plains that ships which wish to ust
it can fly it at half-mast.

there were not SO many rigs. He

had come here for no other purpose
than to do some hunting and he cut
that many out of the party and start

Hereafter he says he will keep a
