YELLS Of CROWD
Was NOTICE TO
CONDEMNED MAN
Culprit Had to be Forced to the
Guillotine and Into
Position
GRUES0ME SCENES At PUBLIC
EXECUTION OF A MURDERER
Guillotlne Was Erected on the Public
Square-The Execution Was Less
Regrettable Than the Former Ones
But Had Revolving Features.

Carpentras, France, Jan. 26.-The
second execution in France under the
revival of the law of capital punish
ment, took place here today, the
scenes accompanying it were less re-
grettable than those attending the
quadruple execution at Bethane on
January II. Nevertheless they were
distinctly unpleasant. The guilotine
was erected on the public square
alongside the prison. Remy Danvers,
the condemned man, who had cruelty
shot an aged farmer and his wife, was
first aware of his fate by the yells
of the crowd which gathered during
the night and surrounded the prison.
He came out of the prison yard with
a livid face and staring eyes, and it
was necessary to force him to the
guilotine and his head in position for
the fall of the blade.

Its Back to the Express Office for
the Senate Veteran.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator

news of his effacement from New
York politics last week without the
bat of an eyelash. The election OF
Elihu Root to succeed him was con-
veyed to him in a telegram from AL
bany, which he received soon after
he had entered the senate chamber.
Curiously enough the dispatch was
delivered to his desk in the midst Of
the chaplains invocation.
Senator Platt stood reverently. He
always does when the morning prayer
is being delivered. When it was fin
ished he resumed his seat, opened the
envelope telling him of Roots election
and then listened to what was going
on in the senate. Two hours later
and long before the session had been
finished for the day. he returned to
his apartments at the Arlington hotel.
To reporter who visited him he
said:
