Gillette was told today OF the decision
of the court OF appeals that he must
suffer the death penalty fer The murder
Of Grace Brown.
The only power now that may inter-

Of Governor Hughes. His counsel said
today that they had not yet decided
whether the appeal would be taken to
the Supreme Court.

night from Kingston. Jamaica, on the

Surgeon General Wyman Declares
That the South Is Good
Place to Live In.

The vanguard of the big conventions
that will mark the present as converse
ton week" in Washington gathered at
the Willard Hotel this morning. 1t was
the southern commercial congress. at
which it was expected there would be
from 1900 to 1900 delegates. There
were not so many as that but it was
explained that some of the southern
trains were late and that more of the
delegates would arrive during the day.
Preparations had been made on a gen.
erous scale for welcoming the body. The
small ballroom on the upper floor of the
hotel was filled with maps and charts
showing the water and forest resources
of the south. In the big banquet hall
where the congress assembled there was
display of transparencies, logging
camps. lumber mills and water power
streams loaned by the forest service. and
on the walls of the main room there
were big charts showing the proportion
Of the mineral resources of the United
States that belonged to the south. the
area of the commercial empire embraced
by the Mississippi basin and the prog
ress that had been made in the industrial
development Of the south.
Two cabinet officers were present at the
morning meeting. the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor. Oscar Straus. and the
Secretary of War, Gen. Luke \. right.

week the chairmen of the subcommittee
will make their reports
Compared with the committee of 1905,
which arranged for the inauguration of
Theodore Roosevelt. it will be seen that
Mr.. Stellwagen has made the list of his
committeeman somewhat longer. He
eliminated the former committee on ac-
counts. of which he was chairman in
1895. and added the committee on terminal
railroad facilities. The latter step was
deemed necessary, owing to the probable
congestion at the Union station at the in
auguration time. Instead of the several
railroad derots that We're in existence at
the time Of former inaugurations, all the
visitors will now come via the Union sta
ticn.

to be named. will have the privilege of
ma ming their own working forces of COM
Initteemen, subject to ratification by the
main committee.

that 1T is his desire to concentrate all

parade and leading up TO it. Hence he
