A pathetic scene was enacted a.
the county Jail this morning wheI
the aged father of Charles F. New
comb, the convicted slayer o.
Martin Kvalshaug, called upon hi!
son to console him and offer wha'
encouragement he could to the
boy who has brought so much sor
row into his life.
| Weeps in Fathers Arms.
For the first time since his in
carceration on May Is, the con.
fessed murderer gave way to his
emotion, and wept upon the
shoulder of his father. The old
man caressed his boy tenderly
while big tears streamed down his
furrowed and care-worn face.
The father has evidently given
up his last faint hope of saving his
son from the gallows, and will
leave for his home in Massachu-
sets Saturday.
Spent Restless Night.
Newcomb spent a restless night,
and, according to the jailer, slept
very little. He was allowed to
walk about in the corridor of the
Jail today, but everything which
might. be used for violence upon
himself has been removed from his
cell. After the death sentence has
been passed, death watch will
be placed over him night and
day.
The attorneys have until to-
morrow afternoon In which to
file their motion for a new trial.
Judge Chapman stated today that
as far as he could see there were
no errors which might be used as
grounds for new trial. II the
motion is not filed within two
days from the time the verdict
was brought in, sentence will be
passed.

The attempt of the new market

for many moons.
Giblett was in the chair in Haw-

not want those platforms. Lynn,

the report from the street COM

Situation
FUTURE OF THRONE
HANGS IN BALANCE

LONDON, Oct. 21.-A dispatch
received here today by the Ex-
change-Telegraph from Madrid,
says the Spanish cabinet has re-
signed, and that King Alfonso has
accepted the designations.
The resignation of the cabinet
came about today on the express
demand of King Alfonso. Imme-
diately following the acceptance of
their designations Alfonso entered
into a conference with his advis-
ors with the view of selecting an
other new premier who will be
able to assemble another cabinet.
Future Hangs in Balance
Upon the choice to be made de-
pends the future of the Spanish
throne. The appointment OF con-
servative would be signal for the
liberals and radicals to continue
the anti-clerical and anti-military
demonstrations which have nearly
caused an open revolution already.
1t is a known fact that Alfonso
does not want to appoint a lib
eral to the premiership. If he
should decide to do so, however,
Butcher" Weyler who has been
extremely active In the liberal
ranks, probably will be the man. !.

LYNN SHOWN UP
BY MAYOR LINCK
COUNCILMAN is MAKING A GRANDsTAND PLAY ON SOUTH
TACOMA CAR SERVICE QUESTION, ACCORDING CHIEF
EXECUTIVE.

The city council last night
adopted a resolution instructing
the mayor to enforce the ordd-
nance passed two weeks ago pro-
Niding for fve-minute cars on the
South Tacoma street railway line.
Incidentally the solons took ad-
vantage of the occasion to throw
a few bricks at the head of the
mayor and there seems to be a
fine sparring match on in the city
hall now between the fellows who
have their lightning rods up for
the mmissionerships under the
new charter.
Lynn introduced this ordinance
to force five minute cars. The
mayor promptly signed it after
1t was passed and declared he
would enforce it.
Kreger Looking For Credit.
Kreger got in the game last
night with the resolution order
ing the mayor to get busy and
bring the street car company to
timee.
whats the use in passing it,.
we go ahead here in the council
and pass ordinances and adopt
resolutions and that is all the
good 1T does. No attention is
paid to them. Why half the or
dinances we pass are dead letters
because they are not enforced" !"
said Lynn last night.
And the mayor says Lynn was
playing to the grandstand.
Gblett got in the game too.
He objected to passing the reso-
luton as useless. "If the mayor
does not enforce the laws impeach
him. Resolutions are no good"
said Giblett.
All Rap the Mayor.
Jameson and Wilkeson backed
up Lynn in declaring the ordi-
nances of the city are not needed
by the administration and there
was a beautiful display of fire.
works in adroitly lambasting
Judge Linck.
On the surface 1t looked like a
righteous demand of the council
for attack on the street car com
pany with the administration
holding back.
But the mayor suggests that
there may be something back of
all this pyrotechnic display on the
part of Councilman Lynn.
Lynn Is ambitious. He has had
his eagle eye on the mayors chair
for some time, long before the
new charter was thought of. With
the new regime 1t Is said he Is
determined to be either mayor
or one of the commissioners. II
Is limited that his introduction of
this ordinance was to get In the
lfmelight in the South End and
corrall the South End vote.
Mayor Shows Up Lynn.
That was small of him last
night, though" said the mayor
today. why he knew we are
preparing to enforce this ordi-
nance. he and Judge Stiles had
even been arranging to go togeth-
er and get evidence preparatory
TO starting action.
II see, Kreger introduced this
resolution. suppose he Is GO
ing to run for commissioner, too.
But that was tricky of Lynn to
talk like that when he knew we
were after the evidence and he
himself was going with the attoc-
ney to get 1t. This matter is no
fhppant prosecution. 1t means
fight and we must prepare for it.
It will probably go to the supreme
court and we must have evidence
the way 1t should be. never
would resort to that kind of po-
litical trickery to get votes"

tor Of independence hall, for inspec-
ton, and he is daily expecting its ar

every fair opportunity to prove the
genuineness OF the relic. incidentally,
it raises the question: where is the
white mans original copy of the Penn
treaty." if there was one, if it was not
left of record only in the recording an
gels book?
Mr.. Jordan said there was no reason
to doubt the good faith Of the maj
who offered the Indians copy of the
treaty at any rate, whether it turns
out to be a copy or only the Indians
original chronicle of the event or a
reproduction of that chronicle after
the original wore out.
The possessor is Frederick M. Hans,
or Lone Star" a Kansas plainsman
and Indian scout. His own account Of
the matter sent to Philadelphia is as
follows:
1T is a little piece of buckskin,
eight inches by twelve inches, old,
soiled with long handling, the figures
half effaced. 1t was given to Freder-
lex M. Hans by one of the squaws Of
Sitting Bull. 1t contains q leaf1ess
tree, which is said to record the fall
as the time of the making .of the
treaty. Every dot among the feet Of
the figures represent a year since the
treaty was made. In 1878, when Hans
possession of it, 1t contained
1876 dots. Sitting Bull was the chief
medicine man of the Sioux and keep
er OF the records of the nation. The
Sioux tribe was largely recruited from
the Lenni Lenape Indians, with whom
Penn made the famous treaty. Other
Indian chronicles in Hans possession
give the account of the rise of b
Sioux. They say a mighty warrior
arose and cut the threats OF 100 Mi
amis. Sioux, meaning, according to
this Interpretation, cut-throat warriors,
deserted the Lenni Lenapes, and they

on buckskin, which was
handed down to Sitting Bull"
I'VE will see what it Is, at any rate"

it purports to be Philadelphia Is the
place for 1t. Mr.. Hans has had some
negotiations with the Smithsonian in

they have ever had it under careful
