TWO EXECUTIONS TOTAL
MORE THAN TWO MILLIONS

BOSTON, Nov. 27.-Two executions
totaling $2,1S2,S29. were signed by the
clerk Of the Massachusetts supreme
court today against Albert S. Bigelow
of Boston and the estate of Leonard
Lewisohn of New York.
The executions which are the largest
ever issued by the state supreme court
are the result of the Judgment recent
ly rendered against the two defendants
in favor of the Old Dominion Copper
company.
The original suit grew out of alleged
secret profits obtained by Bigelow ana
Lewisohn at the time Of the organiza-
tion of the company.
The defendants have still the right
of appeal to the United States supreme
court, but can prevent the collection
of the execution only by giving ponI
for a similar amount. This bond hal
not been furnished when the court
closed today.

an auto belonging to the Western peo-

class condition and he might take it.,
as it was not likely the owners would
use il that night.

First Petition in 1895.


The petition for constitutional
convention began to reach Congress in
1895, whe the action of Idaho and
Wyoming was communicated to the
Senate. Ohio and Minnesota followed
in 1896 and 1897, and from that date to
the present time the States have been
following each other in yearly success
sion, ending with Oklahoma, last year.
Many of the States repeatedly have
passed the necessary resolution. The
result is that the records of Congress
show that no less than 81 Of the States
have formally requested Congress to
call a constitutional convention as
required by the Constitution. These
States are: Alabama, Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana,
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louis
lana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana Nebraska, Nevada, New
Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvan-
ia, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas.

SOUTH CLAIMS ITS
DAUGHTERS ASHES
Davis Daughter is to Be
Buried at Richmond.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 20--A funeral
in which the entire South will be in
terested will be that of Mrs. Margaret
Davis Hayes, eldest daughter of the
lamented president of the Confeder-
acy, which will take place in Rich
mond October 30.
Mrs. Hayes, who since the death OF
her sister, Winnie, was known as "the
daughter of the Confederacy," died in
Colorado Strings, Col, last July. The
body was cremated, following an ex-
pressed wish of the distinguished wo-
man when living
Imposing ceremonies were conducted
at her former home, which were at
tended by we'll known Confederates
and other prominent people from all
sections of the country. 1t was deter
mined to bring the body to Richmond
this fall, where it will be buried in
beautiful Hollywood cemetery, in
which are now inferred the remains
of President Davis, his beloved wife
and two children.
The funeral exercises in the yir-
ginia capital will take place from his
toric st. Pauls church, from which
editice the obsequies of Jefferson
Davis and his wife were also conduct
ed. Prominent men and women from
all parts of the union are expectepd
to be present. The Confederate Vet
eran camps of Richmond and other
cities will participate in the obsequies,
which promise to be notable.
The entire arrangements for the
funeral will be made by the Hon. J.
Taylor Ellison, former Confederate
officer and now lieutenant-go of
the Old Dominion
Mrs. Hayes was the wife of Addison
Hayes, resident of the First National
Bank of Colorado Springs and one of
the leading financiers of the West.

the matter comes up, that the requis-
lite two-thirds of the States have not
made their demand upon Congress for
constitutional amendment in terms
required by the Constitution, for the
reason that the various resolutions are
not uniform and do not all look to the
accomplishment of the same end.
| Some demand an amendment dealing
! solely with the subject of election of
senators, others call for a general
| constitutional amendment, while still
others instead of calling for such a
general convention, merely demand the
| submission of the particular amend
ment to the States for ratification AL
though differing thus in terms, all
have the same object in view
Four times an amendment for pop
ular election of senators was passed
by the House of Representatives and
each time the proposition was pigeon
holed in the Senate 1t being evident
that the consent of the latter body
could never be obtained, the advocates
of the new method were compelled to
resort to the second plan of amend
ment set forth in the Constitution,
viz, a petition by two-thirds of the
State legislature for a constitutional
amendment
Already statesmen are beginning TO
claim it will be impossible for Con-
greSs to accept these various State
resolutions as indicating a united sem
timent of the legislatures that adopted
them. 1t also is a mooted question
among the lawyers whether, if a con-
stitutional convention were called, it's
functions would be limited strictly to
the subject matter upon which Con-
gress was memorialized by the States.
Some claim there would be the strict
est sort of limitation, while others.
reading the language of section 5,
where the plural, and not the singular,
is used in referring to proposing
amendments" insist that the conven-
ton, having been created, could pro-
coed ad libitum in the matter of pro-
posing and agreeing upon amend
ments, subject only to the subsequent
ratification of three-fourth of the
States

Three Other States May Act.

There are 46 States in the Union.
and the 81 before mentioned constitute
clear two-thirds of the total States.
AS the terms of section ) are manda-
tory, it will be interesting to see the
processes through which delay will
be suggested if the matter is pressed
upon the attention of Congress at the
coming session, as it undoubtedly will
be expressed
Three other States that have a pop
ular selection of their senatorial can
didates have not acted through their
legislature, but it is believed that if
the subject is again brought before the
country and agitated they will speed
lily act in concert with those that have
gone before These States are Florida,
Mississippi, and South Carolina.
The grim determination with which
the income takers fought for an am
endment to the constitution during the
debate on on the tariff bill in the last
session illustrates the trend of
thought III some portions of the
country in the direction of needed
changes in the instrument that consti-
tutes the basic law of the country. The
same feeling exists with regard to the
election of United States Senators, the
control of corporations. and the ex-
tension of the power of the Federal
government in directions in which it
invariably has been halted by the cry
of unconstitutional"
The opposition of the Senate to a
constitutional amendment is we'll
known. The submission of the in
tax amendment to the States was
the result of a peculiar political situa-
ton and eXigency that compelled fav-
orable action by a body at heart OPP
posed to the income tax in any form
The same is true of the proposition to
elect senators by direct vote, the an
tagonism of the Senate having been
shown by its repeated refusal to ap-
prove the action of the House of Rep
resentatiyes.
