PRIEST THREATENED
IN ANONYMOUS NOTE
ATTORNEY NAMED IN BLOOD
WRITTEN LETTER
Threat Believed to Be Result of Activ-
lily of Two Men In Behalf of
Herman Billek, Doomed
to Die
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 29.-Father Peter J.
O'Callaghan, head of the Paulist order
in Chicago, and attorney Francis E..
Hinckley have been informed through All
anonymous letter written in blood and
wrapped in crepe that they have been
marked for death by mysterious ene-
mics, and st. Marys church, Wabash
avenue and Hubbard court, has been
doomed to be blown up with dynamite
The threatening letter had been
dropped by an unknown hand into the
poor box at ST. Marys church, of which
Father O'Callaghan is pastor. 1t was
unsigned and unaddressed. On one side
was a crudely drawn picture of skull
and cross-bones.
Death to the priest and the lawyer
was threatened, it is believed, in conse-
quence of their efforts TO obtain a par
don for Herman Billek, under sentence
to hang on June II in the Cook county
Jail, on a charge of numbering by pol
son six members of the Vzral family.
A chemical analysis proved that the
red fluid in which the letter was writ
ten was blood, and not red ink.
Father O'Callaghan declared last
night that he would lay the letter be-
fore Governor Deneen in the hope that
it would induce the governor to pardon
Billek.
rather O'Callaghan ana MIR. dlncKley
drew a confession from Jerry Vzral, a
few months ago, that he had given
perjured testimony against Billek at
the trial. BY this means they succeeded
in bringing Billek's case before the
pardon board. The board sat with
Governor Deneen in extraordinary ses-
sion in the district attorneys office and
examined the evidt nee.
The investigation led the governor to
reprieve Billek and to advance the date
of his execution to July ~.

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
REJECTS JURY SYSTEM
Public Works Bill Appropriating Three
Million Pesos Passed-Good Roads
and Capitol Building
Provided

MANILA, May 29.--The Philippine
commission has rejected the assembly
bill creating jury system. The measure
provided for provincial boards to APP
point twenty-five permanent jurors In
each province to serve on all jury cases.
The commission held that the plan was
not an ideal one and would inevitably
lead to abuses. 1t WAS believed that
the appointment of Jurors would become
factor in politics.
The commission has passed the pub
lie works bill appropriating 5000, o0n
pesos. One-half of this sum goes for
the construction of roads under the
plan to create and maintain a perma-
nent system of highways throughout
the islands. Half million will be ex-
pended in starting a system of irriga-
ton works, while with the balance pro-
vision is made to start the construction
of a capitol building at Manila, improve
the harbors at lilo lilo and build a GUS
tom house at Cebu.
