schooner Menawa. All on board the
schooner, consisting of the captail

DEATH OF BISHOP POTTER
Noted Preate Had Been III for Some
Time.

Cooperstown, N. Y, July 23.-
Henry Goldman Potter, seventh Prot
estant Episcopal bishop of the dioces G
of New York, is dead at "Fernleigh, y
his summer home here, after an i'll
ness of several weeks. The end was
peaceful and quiet The prelate was
seventy-four years old.
Death was due primarily to EN-
bolism of the right leg, following a
long attack of liver and stomach
trouble, and the end had been fore
seen for several days by the bishops
physicians.
Henry Goldman Potter, seventh
Protestant Episcopal bishop of the
diocese, was native of Schenectady
n. Y. He had been the head of the
New York diocese since 1887, succeed
ing his uncle, Bishop Horatio Potter
In addition to the heavy duties OF
the oversight of the largest diocese in
point of population in the United
States Bishop Potter took an active
part in movements of national i'm
portance. The bishop did much to
promote more cordial relationships be
tween employers and employees and
when occasion demanded lent his eff
forts to improve the standard of mu
nicipal government in New York city

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.
John A. AyIward Again Seeks Nom
ination for Governor.

Milwaukee, July 23.-The Demo
cratic state convention was called to
order at the Alhambra theater by
State Chairman H. H. Manson, who,
after reading the call, made the an
nouncement of the selection of Melvin
w. Hoyt as temporary chairman.
Mr.. Hoyt Immediately delivered a
lengthy speech, in which he fiayed OPP
posing parties. In closing he paid a
warm ;ribute to the Democratic pres
idential candidate, William Jennings
Bryan.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hoyt's
speech the various district chairmen
announced the makeup of the various
committees, after which an adjourn.
ment was taken for the day.
All gossip in connection with the
convention has been confined to the
makeup of a state ticket, the plat
form seemingly being a side issue.
John A. Aylward, who ran for gov
ernor two years ago and was defeated,
is out for the nomination again and
is likely to get it. There has been
considerable talk of opposition to Ayl-
ward, but it has not been strong
enough to cut much of a figure. The
opposition to him seems to be with.
out leader who has strength enough
to gather anywhere near a majority of
the delegates.
Burt Williams of Ashland is the
most prominently spoken of for sec,
ond place. For secretary of state T.
J. Cunningham of Chippewa Falls is
in the lead. Byron Barwig of May
vile and E. A. Evans of Baraboo are
mentioned for state treasurer and at,
toTney general, respectively, and
Henry Neuens of Sheboygan and
Henry Fetzer of Sturgeon Bay will be
pres ented for insurance commissioner.
There seems to be no doubt about
II. H. Manson of Wausau being re.
elected state chairman.

GIRL MURDERER
is BEHEADED
Daughter Of Mayor Of Freiburg,
SaxOny. Executed.

Freiberg, Saxx3y, July 23.-Grete
Beier, the eighteen-year-old daughter
of the mayor of Freiberg, was be
headed some time between dark and
dawn in punishment for the murder
of the man 10 whom she was engaged
to be married.
The executioner of this young wo.
man reached the city after dark. He
carried a thin, long box containing
the axe with which he did his work
and brought with him also a handbag
with a suit of evening clothes. The
wearing of this garb is an official re-
quirement of the somber occasion.
The preparations for the execution at
the prison had been completed and
the man did his work quickly and pri,
vately and departed from Freiberg as
quietly as he came
The executioner is an anonymous
person sent down here from Dresden
on the announcement that the king of
SaXony had refused to pardon Crete
Beier for her crime.
The personality of this young girl
and her thoughtfully arranged murder
of her fiance, a civil engineer named
Preffier, attracted international atten
tion. The social position of her fam.
lily was very good and she became en-.
gagged to Herr PTefiier, rich young
professional man. AT her trial it was
brought out, and she admitted with
the utmost simplicity. that she visited
her fance's house one evening, gave
him cyanide of potassium in a drink
she mixed for him and then, to make
sure of his death, she shot him in the
mouth with his own revolver

CONvICTS BEG FOR WORK
Men in Nebraska Prison Cannot En-

Lincoln, Neb, July 23.-Prisoners
In the Nebraska penitentiary, idle for
more than a month, are begging and
pleading for something to do. The
state board of public lands and build
ings has just held a meeting, but
failed to provide tasks for the men.
Recently the contract for prison labor
expired and the contractors refused
to pay the increase of 25 cents day
per convict demanded by the state.

trine, says the opinion, whereunder a
million dollar corporation such as the
defendant-the Standard Oil company
of Indiana-may be fined twenty-nine
times the amount of it's capital stock
in order to punish a defendant not
even under indictment. BY this latter
is meant the parent company, the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey.
Judge Grosscup Wrote Opinion.
This opinion, concurred in by
Judges Baker and Seaman, was deliv-
cred by Judge Gro3scup, who wrote
it. The concluding sentence of the
opinion reads:
"The Judgment of the district court
is reversed and the case remanded
with instructions to grant a new trial
and proceed further in accordance with
this opinion"
News of the decision spread like a
prairie fire through the federal build
ing. reaching the Office of United
States District Attorney Edwin Sims
with unwelcome speed. He held a
hurried conference with his assistants
who had aided him in the prosecution
before the district court, after which
he said:
"All | can say now is that what has
happened was not expected However,
We shall make the best of it. I'm
doubtedly there will be an early re-
trial of the case"
The decision just handed down was
on the appeal made by the Standard
Oil company of Indiana from the yer-
dict rendered April Is, 1907, by which
the company was found guilty of ac-
cepting rebates and was later fined
by Judge Lands of the United States
district court $29,240,000, the max
imum under the counts of the indict-
ment.
The specific charge against the
Standard Oil company of Indiana was
that it had accepted rebates on ship,
ments of oil in carload lots from
Whiting, Ind TO East st. Louis, ILL.,,
over the Chicago and Alton railroad.
Evidence was adduced at the trial
showing that the company received
rates one-third as large as other ship
pers were obliged to pay. 1t was
contended by the counsel for the oil
company that the rate was not secret
but the jury found otherwise.
