FROM RACE
Will Not Be a Candidate for
Congress But for Sec
rotary Of State

It is predicted here today that Sec
rotary of State Alfred Blaisdell will
not be a candidate for congress but
will be a candidate for rejection as
secretary of state. Congressman
Gronna's definite decision to stand for
reelection and not as candidate for
the U. S. senate, it is claimed, has
determined MIR. Blaidells action
Had Mr.. Gronna decided to make the
run for the U. S. senate, as was orig
inally intended, there is no doubt that
Mr.. Blaisdell would have been for
midable candidate and would have re-
ceived the favorable consideration of
the republican organization, as he may
two years hence, when the new con-
gressional districts are created. If
this is successfully brought about it
will clear the political atmosphere con-
siderably. iMr. BlaisdeH has not only
the distinction of being the youngest
secretary of state ever elected, but
also has the reputation of having made
an exceptional record in his present
Office.

VIEWS ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

VIEWS ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Recently in passing Judgment upon.
young O'Brien at Pembina. Judge
kneeshaw took occasion to express
his opinion of the law providing for
capital punishment and stated it to
be barbarous and unworthy the spirit
OF the times. In this state Jury
must fix the punishment save where
a plea of guilty to murder in the
first degree is entered, and then even
jury may be impaneled to hear tes-
timony and fix the punishment to be
inflicted.
Capital punishment is both exemp-
larry and punitive. 1t is question
whether the exemplary feature of it
reaches popular belief That it is not
deterrent is proven by the fact that
murders continue and will continue
to be done, despite the threat of the
law that the life of the murderer shall
be forfeit.
Taking this view of the matter, it
would seem that imprisonment for
life would remove the murderer from
society, where he can do no more
harm, and, in depriving him of his
liberty, inflict sufficient punishment.
There is one principal objection to
the fixing of the punishment of all
murderers at Imprisonment for life
and that is the fact that, as time pass
es, memory grows DIM, public feel
ing abates, and pardons are granted.
II a law to repeal capital punishment
were passed with clause providing
that no pardons should ever be grant
ed to persons convicted of murder
in the first degree unless innocence
were proven, it would, we believe, be
deterrent to would-be murderers as
much as any other statute; it would
avoid the objection that society has
no right to take human life; it would
provide sufficient punishment, if such
thing is possible, and it would in
sure society against continuance of
the pastime of murderers-a at least
OF as many as were convicted.

RUN over
YOUNG SISTER OF MISS KRUGER
OF THIS CITY ACCIDENT
ALLY KILLED

Miss Il. D. Kruger, bookkeeper in
the First National bank of this city,
was called to Saltwater, Mimi, this
week by the sudden and accidental
death Of younger sister The st.
Paul Dispatch says of the accident in
which the unfortunate young girl lost
her life: s
Saltwater. Mimi, Jan. 14-Gretchen
Kruger, a school girl of 13 years, lost
her life last evening by being run over
by two sleds loaded with mill edgings
On the ice of the St Croix. Nearly ev-
cry winter one or more boys have
been killed in like manner in the
same vicinity. This accident caused
more general concern because the vic
tim was a member of prominent
family and was bright.
After school hours the girl and two
others went skating about where the
race track is located. James Leslie
was going up from South Saltwater
with a four-horse team hauling three
sleds Loaded with edgingss for the
state prison. Tie sleds were attach
ed from the rear by tongues and
chains. The girls climbed upon the
tongue of the second sled ito ride. The
Kruger girl fell off and was run oy-
err by the two rear sleds, her back
being broken. The other girls scream
ed and Mr.. Leslie then first learned
that they had been riding, and was
Mortified at the result, as the girl was
dead before assistance reached her.
Coroner E. G. Landeen and DR.. Mer-
rill FASTENED to the scene. The body
was taken home in a carriage. No in.
quest will be held, as it was declared
to be purely accidental. The girl was
daughter of Mrs. Johanna Kruger
of Willard street and Sixth avenue
south. Her sister Emma and brother
Roy are clerks in the First National
bank. @ 4s,g

DETAILS OF
HORRORS AT
BOYERTOWN

BoyertOwn, Pa, Jan. 15.-Bearing
up bravely under the awful blow
which it received in the destruction
of the Rhoades opera house by fire
Monday, this thriving little borough
today came to. full realization of
the fact that one Fifteenth Of its pop
ulation was wiped out of existence
by the holocaust.
The figures compiled by Coroner
Strasser at nightfall show that there
are 10 dead as the result of the fire.
The list of the dead includes one
fireman who lost his life fighting the
fire, and one man, Jacob johnson,
who died today from injuries re-
ceived in the playhouse.
The charred bodies were recovered
from the ruins of the building to-
day, and of the 16S bodies or re-
mains, that lie in the improvised
morgue, 115 have been officially or
partially identified by relatives or
friends. The private morgues in the
town were not of sufficient size to
receive the bodies of those taken
from the ruins and the public
school was also used as a charnal
house. Here were number of the
victims who went daily to their stu
dies, the bodies were laid out in
rows, each bit of jewelry or frag-
ment. of clothing picked up in the
biackened ruins was tagged, as were
the charred and blackened bodies, or
such portion of them as remains AMI
all in search of missing loved ones
were permitted to pass through these
gruesome rows to make Identified
tons. Some of the bodies could not
be recognized by the features alone,
as in most cases the upper portion
of the corpses was scared or, burned
ttosa crisp.
The scenes at the morgue were
heart-rending. Children of tender
years were in some cases called upon
to assist in making Identification of
parents, and again, feeble men and
women were racked with anguish as
they came upon some distorted body
In which they recognized the form of
their lost son or daughter.
Before any of the bodies were re-
moved from the morgue, Coroner
Strasser empanneledj a jury to sit at
an inquest. M
After the jury had been sworn in
they made an inspection of the ruins
and went through the morgues. No
date has been fixed for the inquest.
There were fifty-five undertakers
or their representatives in town to.
day and there was plenty for them
to do as all were called upon to as
sist in preparing the remains for
Identification.
Coroner Strasser says that not
more than 25 Of the entire number of
bodies removed fom the fire have
heads, and there are several trunks
that will probably never be identifi-
ed as there were several strangers in
the audience that witnessed the play
