RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
And Sorrow for the Death of United
States Senator Bryan

At a meeting of the governor and
the administrative officers of the eX
CCutiVc department of the state of
Florida. held in the executive office,
!IarCh 23rd 1908. ii WAS resolved that
intelligence has been received with
profound SplTpW of the death in
Washington, y. G.. on March 22nd,
1905. of In" Honrrth!r William James
EryHn, Junior United Sta:cS senator
from this state ard that the under
signed 80 Join in this expression Of
d"cf' regret Il; the death OF this hon
"rab}c and distinguished ci iztn and
trusted representative of the people.
whose short life has been 50 richly
filed with useful and merit"riuus
achievements. and gave such rare
promise f brilliant and valuable ser
vic" in tn" futur" To the Ie"ulc of
Florida and of the nation.
Senator Bryan was in many ways
the foremost young man in Florida.
At tn, early age of thirty-one when
his splendid career has been closed in
obedience to the divine will of God.
Mr.. Bryan had, by his example and
activities of a clear, vigorous and
manly life. won the confidence and
respect Of the people of Florida and
the devoted friendship and admira-
tion of those with whom he was as
SOciated. He represented with un
common faithfulness and conspicuous
ability the highest aims and nObleSt
Traditions of the people of Florida and
in his untimcly death this loyal and
devoted people are bowed in a great
common grief.
Learned, ambitious, eloquent and
universally popular Senator Bryan
was the idol of large proportion of
the people Of this state and his pro-
gress at the bar and in the councils
of the country was observed with
feelings of pride by all FIoridians.
Yet deeper and stronger ties to the
public affection Mr.. Bryan furnished
in his stainless and unblemished
character in public and private life.
His life has been a glorious victory
for himself and record of honor for
the state of Florida.
1t is directed that this resolution
be inscribed upon a page of the min
utes of the board Of commissioners of
state institutions to be set apart for
that purpose, copy hereof be fur
nished to the family of the deceased
and copies also be furnished to the
press.

petition for a rehearing in the case
Of the Government against the Stand
ard Oil Company OF Indiana decided
adversely TO the government by
Judge Crosscup yesterday, would be
filed. Mr.. Sims today received the
following telegram from Mr.. Bona
!parte;
! feel that you and your asso-
ciates have done everything possible
70 protect the interests Of the gov
ernmcnt and promote justice will
write fully as soon as the opinion
comes to hand"
II was learned in New York to-
day through sources identified with
the Standard Oil Company that the
$2o.24O,OOO case is not likely to 60 to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. Nor is it believed the case
viii be retired before Judge Lands,
as the Standard Oil Company would
protest against it. and ask that some
other judge sit in the case. The is
sues involve no constitutional qucs-
tions such as are necessary to take
the action to the supreme court.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup's early
retirement from the Federal bench
was the reason given and generally
accepted today for the quick decis-
ion OF the Federal Court of Appeals
in the Standard Oil case. The report
was to the effect that the Judge de-
sired to clear up his docket so that he
could resign and practice law as soon
as possible. That the Judge has been
anxious for some time to leave the
bench and return to private practice
has been known to his close friends.
The bench has nothing more to offer
him in the way of honors, the work
has become irksome, and the pay is
unquestionably small compared with
what he could earn at the bar, espec-
tally in corporation law. 1t is now
asserted in legal and business circles
that he may be able to get out this
summer or early autumn so that his
successor can take hold when the
court opens in October.

gift Of Sl5.00O,OOO to John D. Rocke-
feller. Standard Oil Stock went up
4S points in a week. Whatever in

it is fact that within the past week,
when it was known that a, decision by
the United States Court OF Appeals
was TO be given shortly, the stock OF
that corporation has been going up in
a most sensational manner. AT the
time when the Court of Appeals had
the case in hand and its decision was
all but ready for the public. Standard
Oil stock shot up in a manner to in
dicate confidence on the part Of the
oil magnates that there was no dan
ger Of an adverse decision by the
court,
The gain scored by Standard Oil
stock in the week ending yesterday
when it was quoted at 600 on the
New York curb. totalled IS points, a
record not approached by anything
listed in the New York Stock Ex-
change, and the singular movement
Of this stock within the past few
days has given rise to a good deal Of
speculation, for never at any mo-
ment during the tendency Of the case
did there seem to be any weakening
or wavering In Standard Oil stock
Yesterday Standard Oil jumped
from $40 to 600, and today there was
an advance to COS, which is the
highest point reached by this secur-

back to the scene Of his crime BY the
force he could not resist, August
Eberhard, the self-confessed muir

hard, Viennesse widow, whom he
lured to lonely spot in New Jer-
sey few days ago, and shot to
death, was captured today near Pat
ierson and is now prisoner II

Eberhard committing the crime wa:
that he was in love with a New York
girl and that he needed money to
marry her. knowing that his aunt
had $500 he plotted to kill her and
to steal the money Eberhard says
he also intended to kill his pretty
cousin, Ottillie Eberhard, to whom
he is engaged, SO nothing would
stand in the way of his marriage to
the New York girl The police have
the name of the girl and she will be
brought to Hackensack to tell what
she knows Of the murder Eberhard
was found lying on the lawn OF
residence just outside of Patterson.
There was an ugly wound in his leg,
which the murderer first said was
made By Italians who attacked him,
He afterwards admitted it was in
flitced BY himself to deceive the po-
lice, Eberhard did not Immediately
confess. When first questioned he
told an ingeniously connected tale Of
5aving been attacked by Italians and
that he tried 10 defend his aunt from
them, He said he was shot in the
leg by them and after that remem-
bered nothing until he came to his
senses in the Breakness Mountains.
An important point in his eonfes-
sio is the statement that he had AIN
accomplice. He said however that
his accomplice had nothing to do with
the killing Of Mrs. Eberhard This
man has fed to the west The police
have his name also. Eberhard told
