Trenton, n. j., Dec. l6.-John
Mantasanna, of Essex county. is TO
have novel Christmas gift, if the
newest project inspired by Jersey
justice is successful.
John is alleged to have committed
murder. and Just for that he is
under sentence 10 be electrocuted at
the state prisan next week. But DR..
Frank Scanned. county physician,
and DR.. Thomas Mackenzie. prison
physician. harbor doubts as to wheth-
er electrocution really sends the vic
tim to that bourne from whence no
man returneth. Therefore. if per-
mission can be secured and John
doesn't get a stay. they will try TO
resuscitate him after he has been
duly executed.
The experiment will be undertaken
in order to prove or disprove the
theory of scientists that the inflic-
tion only stuns the victims. who arc
later killed by the surgeons knife
during the autopsy or by the quick
lime in which the bodies of murd
are buried.
AT all previous executions of sem
tences the autopsies have been per-
formed by DIR. T.. A. S. Spitzka. of
Philadelphia. Next time. however.
DR.. Scanned. the county physician.
will insist on being allowed to take
possession of the body. With the
assistance of DR.. Mackenzie, he will
then apply all the methods of resus-
citation known to medical science. If
the experiment fails an autopsy will
be performed to determine the exact
effect of the electric current on the
human body. 1t is also expected that
this will show if death was instan-
taneous, as advocates of the electric
chair aver to be the case.

SHERMAN IS COMING HERE
TO HELP CAMPAIGN ALONG
Congratulatory Messages Pouring in
to Congressional Committee
Headquarters.

Perhaps no one in WASHINGTON was
more eager to hear the news from Chica-
go this morning than Francis Curtis. in
charge of the republican congressional
committee rooms in the Metropolitan
Bank building AS soon as Mr.. Sherman's
nomination was confirmed Mr.. Curtis
sent the following telegram:
"Of course. I am as glad as 1 can be.
though it's like doing a brother. It's a
perfect ticket and will win all along the
line"
The many visitors to the committee
rooms as soon as the nomination was
known found a splendid picture of Mr.
Sherman hung on the wall. with large
silk flag as a background. Congratula-
tons have been coming in from all over
the country
Mr.. Curtis has received word from Mr..
Sherman that he will be in Washington
soon for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the campaign. although the
actual work will be done in New York
where an entire floor has been secured by
the committee in the St. James building.
The headquarters here at Washington
however, will be kept open throughout
the campaign. Work will be- prosecuted
with vigor at both places.
When Commissioner Mcfarland learned
of the nomination of Representative Sher-
man from The Stars extra he said:
Mr.. Sherman will make an admira BILE
Vice President especially as presiding
ofiicer of the Senate. for he is one of the
best parliamentarians in Congress But

Senator Lodge said: I'm behalf OF
Massachusetts, I have the honor 10 present
to this convention the governor of that
state for nomination as your candidate
for Vice President. Born in Massachu-
sets, the descendant of Massachusetts,
ancestors. with the blood of revolutionary
soldiers in his veins. he was bred In her
schools and graduated with honors from
Harvard, her great university coeval with
the state itself. BY inheritance and con-
viction alike he was a republican. and as
soon as he was out of college he began
to work for the party and TO do all IN
his power to promote its success and ad-
vance its principles In the campaign OF
1884 when there was widespread revolt
against the republican candidate, he stood
firm for his party and cheertuiiy en-
countered abuse and obloquy because he
would not desert the cause TO which ne
was devoted.
After a further review of Gov. Guildo
career, Senator Lodge continued:
Liberal and progressive. his name IL
associated not only with sound admins
measures which would promote the well
fare of The state, and which were In the
interests of the broadest humanity. Of
conspicuous ability. of remarkable elo-
quence in speech. of unblemished char
acter a lifelong and loyal republican. he
would bring to the service of the nation
the same devotion TO principle. the same
zeal and energy the same earnest faith
in what he believes to be right. that he
has for years given TO Massachusetts and
to the service of his party
Il have the honor. the great honor. to
present to you for nomination the Hon.

Candidates for Chairman.

The principal object of the visit OF Sec
rotary Tatt to Cincinnati. for which-p place
he left this afternoon. is to confer about
q chairman of the national committee to
conduct the campaign. He telegraphed
Representative Sherman to meet him.
The question is whether Hitchcock or
Arthur I. Norys shall be named chair
man The Ohio friends of Vorys do not
believe he should be placed below Frank
H. Hitchcock in the campaign and it is
pretty certain that Secretary Taft will
have a knotty problem to solve.
The Ohio delegation 10 the national con-
vention has served notice that it will
strenuously object to Mr. Hitchcock The
delegates declare that Mr.. Vorys did
much important work long before Hitch
cock was thought OF. except as the rep
resentative of Mr.. Cortelyou: that he has
as much ability as Mr.. Hitchcock. and
has not stirred up enmities. as they say
the latter has.

They feel that on account Of his service

bring a closer relation between the ma
