DIES ON GUrLLOrrNn.
First Inaictions of Capital Pnnishment
 an France In: YeaRs.

Sn France in YeaRs. ,.
 Bethune, Pas de Calais France, Jan. ll.-The first ihfictfons of capital pun ishment in France for number of years past were witnessed nsthis town today when four 'rnuEderers were de. c0pitated by the. guillottne. "'
 The executions were: public and took place in thespresencesof large crowd The acts for .wiiich4the men. were ex- ecuted .werer,thet murder, of Abel Pollet and.this brother and two other, men named respectively Canut ands -PerFu.
 The French Parliament recently pass cd a resolution inS favor of the, reten- tion of the death penalty in France. and the Cabinet q fortnight ago. de- cided to carry out PariiAment's ruling. There remain today eighteen persons In France under. sentence ofs death.
 The,executtons,w W ere carried out ttrath- CT quietly, yet -the multitude from the town and the surrounding country which. gathered early last night was impatient. and upon. the appearance of the condemned men began yelling for instant death. The effect upon the crowd was the most horrible feature of the executions. <
 As Abel Pollet. the first of the Inur- derers togo to hts death. marched tden- antly. towards the steps of the platform. cries of rage broke from the crowd, which endeavored to break. through the lines of soldiers formed around the guIllotine Pollet brutally trepuised a priest who sought to console him. Shouts of joy burst from the crowd as the knife dropped.
 The troops, after the executions. dis- persed the crowd, and ended what was regarded by foreign observers as. . de: grading spectacle, and as suggesting terrible scenes of mob thirst for blood during the revolution. {
 The night was passed by the crowd in drinking and carousing in the, cafes of Bethune, which were, kept open all night for the occasion. With, daylight the people swarmed from the cafes and headed for the square in front of the prison. They were hooting. singing ano laughing and exchanging. coarse witti- cisins at the expense Of the nsen who were to be executed. The: clamoF againat the murderers was renewed as dawn showed the scafrold disnly lighted with lanterns. @ isi, .;rs M
 The condemned men were ignorant up to short time before their execu- ton, that they were to die. They had slept undIsturbed and had the serene conviction that their sentences would be commuted. saH .,t

them strong in their determination to act uprightly and for the right.
 After having made this speech, Dr. Campbell gave place to pr. B. F. Maynes, who declared that this was not the worst, and charged that he knew . that women-.beautiful fallen women"--had been sent here to infiu- ence the legislators and that these women were seeking them in their apartments and using every means at their command to turn the legislati tide against the Statewide ppohibi- ton. q
 Some of the members of the Legisia- ture were young men, said Dr. Haynes, and he knew of one case at least where the member was in a more or less doubtful fix. He looked at the mat ter, very seriously, and heartily con- demned such tactics.
 Women, he said, were being brought here to win; men where other means had failed. and yet money was still flowing frely for those who would con- sent to change their opinions or at feast their votes from the prohibition side. to the whiskey. side of the ques- tion. t
 All the ministers present listened in breathiess interest to the statements above mentioned. and when the pra- siding officer, Rev. H. B. Reams asked for. an expression as to whether or not prayer should be offered, there was a loud chorus of -"iayes." s'
 The prayer was led by Dr. A. NJ. Trswick. who feelingly invoked the aid of God in saving the legislators from any possible sin in, connection with the passage of the State- wide prohibition bill.

Congress Receives Report of q C0m-
 mission.
 Washington. Jan. 11.-Sweeping re- forms of more or less nationaI interest affecting the criminal classes in the District of Columbia are recommended in a. report transmitted to Congress by President Roosevelt today by the com mission appointed under. the act, of Congress of May 2s, last. to investigate
 Justice stafford of the Supreme Court, of the District of Columbia is chairman of the commission which Is unsparinK in its condemnation of the conditions in the Federal jail. the Dis trfct workhouse and other penal and correctional institutions In this city.
 The overcrowdIng of the Iails and the workhouse, the commission de- clares to be a stench in the nostrils of everyone acquainted with the situa tton.. In one institution they state that 500. out of 600, inmates are maintained in absolute idleness and with no. op- portuuity to exercise, and 1t is stated that in most cases two or three are confined in a single cell not large enough for one. and their meals are passed through the bars in a tin can.
 Congress Is scored for its failure to provide an adequate jail with e yard sufficient for proper exercise.
 In regard to the treatment of prison CTS. the comm mission believes they should be given every encouragement by which to prove themselves worthy. The illiterate should be given some instruction. and those capable of mas tering a useful trade should-b be em- ployed to that end.
 Comparing the crimes committed by blacks and whites. the commission says that "the fair deduction seems to be ehat the crimes most common among negroes are crimes of impulse or pas- sion or petty ,thieving, while those among the whites are crimes of cum ming or bOldness-the most daring crlmes--and larger thefts.'

Washington, Jan. 11.-President Comperss of the American Federation of. Labor.'is in favor of either making an appeal to labor and It's friends for necessary funds to be. used in prose- cutting an appeal from the recent de- cision of Judge wright in the contempt case, or of abandoning 1t altogether.
 Tn view of the, industrial depres- sion and the large number of men uri- employed, it. is most improper for Jus to levy assessments" said MT. Com pers today. We should either make an appeal to all labor and our friends for. such voluntary financial contribu- tions as they can make to the enormous expense of the legal defense of our cause. or we should authorize the abandonment of any attempt at defense and appeal. Whichever course you may determine, is the wisest or most prac- ticable or inevitable is entirely agree- able to me, and shall willingly abide by it.
 Mir. Gompers at the meeting here of the Executive Council of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. President Gompers declared the Federation had practically exhausted all of its avail a able funds; that the money in the de- fense fund is unavailable and that the only one of two courses was open for them. '' President Gompers said that counsel for the Bucks Stove and Range Com- pany, in an address before the Citizens, Alliance, one of Van cieave's orsaniza- tions, some months ago boasted of his achievements that the legal expense in these suits had already amounted to si9.000, and yet more to come. Mr. Gompers stated that Justice Wright refused on several occasions the request of John Mitchell. one of the three defendants, for & postpone n1ent in rendering hls decision. Mir. Mitchell based his desire for . delay on the fact that he had never before been away from home on Christmas. and that 1t was his desire to be with his family at that time.

 HuntsvflIe in 1864 <
 The decision of the United States Su- preme Court in the Robert W. Powell case yesterday. dfsposes+ finally of the theory that the Federal authorities can punish slynchers. While the. decfsion of Federal Judge Thomas e.. Jones, of the Northern Alabama District Is affirmed. the entire, outcome of the case lis con- trsry to the fret epIniens ofsthe Circuit Court on similar question. ss
 The facts from which the prosecution of Powell grew, are still fresh ~in the minds of .Aihbamians.3 especially resi- dents of Huntsville. The negro. Horace Naples, imprisoned fin ! the Madison County jail spending 7, Indictment and triaiSby, the State Circuit Court. for the murder: of a white speddfer, was taken from the jail and swung to A tree fin the public square of the cuituredf city of Huntsville. The mob. in its violence. brushed away the militia and burned the prison. It was one of the most seri-l sational iynchings that blot the record of this State. This was in fsos. :
 On the theory that whoever parti-' cipated; in the lynching, interfered with the negro's right of trial by due process of law, Powell, who was alleged toihave. been . part of the meb, was arrested by Federal authorities. At about the same time ,anotner white man named Higgins was. arrested, both| being indicted for violating the Fourteenth Amendment to the National. Constitution. ' It was . novel procedure and attracteds wide. spread attention. If theg government should succeed In such a prosecution. 1t meant! 6 new power was fo, bS brought into exercise ,fors suppressing mob vioA lence. < i,ge sl. ss/t
 In the Higgins case. which came, first to trial on a writ of habeasf corups, Judge Jones decided in favor. of the government. It was RorcihIy pointed out in the argument of the District Attor- ney,. and in the opinion of the Judge. that the State was doing ali in its pow CT to give the negro 6 trial. by jury, ar privilege that was guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment. For Powen or anyone to .atep in between 'fhs cess of law and, the negro to, kill .ths latter. according, to the Government ana the Judge. was a criminal act.l It was believed that the indictments on this ground should be sustained.
 The United ,,Statee Supseme scoufs thought differently. It gave Higgins his freedom on appeal. from. the ,hAbeas cor. pus, hearing. being decided ionf a stechnt- calsty. When. however, the, Suprenia Court, in, the Hodges case which fol. lowed, intlmated that the. governmente position would not be suatained with reference to invoking the Fourteenth Amendment, Judge Jones, in the Powell case. sustained the dSmtrrersos the de. fendant to the indictmeptS to confortn his opinion, to tho. previous 7decision. of the supreme Court. And in this he was upheld yesterday: .at .,. 4

 .In, hIsf motion, rMr. Parker stated that before the trial was begun. he asked the Government to specify the charge upon which. 1t relies. The aq- swer wal at that time the indictment charged King with embexziement. lar eeny and obtaining money by false pre- tehses. According to Mir. Parker, the jury returned . verdict of guilty in twenty-seven counts. but did not state the specific crime in each count, and claimed that King cannot be sentenced unless the crime of which he may be guilty is known. There will be ya hear. ing on the motion on Wednesday.
