corted to one Of the boxes where they
witnessed the dance and talked with
their numerous friends during the
evening. The governor and wife came

ten years in the penitentiary, Tues
day afternoon by Judge Goss, on the
charge of murder in the second de-
gree.
The judge had denied a motion for
new trial, the defendants attor-
neys, Judge Palda and Judge Enge-
rud asking for the new trial, mainly
on account of the fact that the testi-
mony had great deal to do with the
doctors conviction. Judge Goss al
lowed this testimony to be received
on the ground that it was to show a
conspiracy.
Judge Goss granted the stay of ex-
ecution, pending an appeal to the
supreme court. The doctor was re-
leased on $4,000 bonds.

TWO SINNERS

There was a man. IL was said one time.
Who went astray In his youthful prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the heart quiet
When the blood is river that's running riot?
And boys will be boys the old folks say.
And the is better who's had his day.
The sinner reformed. and the preacher told
OF the prodigal who came back TO the fold,
And Christian people threw open the door.
With a welcome than ever before.
Wealth and honor his TO command,
And a spotess woman gave him her hand.
And the world their pathway with blossoms abloom,
Crying. God bless ladye. and God bless grooml"
There maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn of her life's young day.
She had more passion and heart than head.
And she followed bndly where fond Love lead.
And love unchecked is a dangerous guide
To wander at will at fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from sin.
But door opened TO let her In.
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven,
But told her TO look for mercy-in Heaven.
For this Is the law of the earth, We know,
That the woman is stoned, while the man may go.
A brave welded her after ALL
But the world said frowning I'VE shall not call"

40, 900 YOUNG TURKS
BESIEGE THE CAPITAL

- United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, April 20.-Rumors that sultan
Abdul Hamid has abdicated his throne.
and has either fed or is preparing to fee
from Constantinople, continue to pour into
London. There has been no authoritative
confirmation of any Of these reports, owing
to the fact that communication with the
Turkish capital is pract caily cut off except
through the lines of the Young Turks
army that is now camped within sight Of
the city.
A dispatch to-day, by way of Philipoppo-
lis, says that at last nights meeting Of
the ministers the hopelessness of the situa-
tion was conceded and that proclamation
OF abdication was formally drawn up to
the terms of which the Sultan agreed.
According to these terms, the Sultan win
abdicate If he is guaranteed personal
safety. and his brother, Rechad is chosen
as his successor.
The Turkish authorities have begun a
rigid investigation into the massacres that
took place IN Asia Minor, according to a
Smyrna message. and will mcte out the
severest punishment to those responsible
for the outrages. In no other way, the
authorities believe. can the powers be pre-
vented from interfering.
A special effort will be made to punish
the murderers of the American mission
aries at Adana, Mr.. Rogers and Mr..
Maurer Unless every possible reparation
IS made, for their killing, It IS feared that
the United States win demand huge in
demnity and possibly take hand in Turk
ish affairs in the future.
