A Remarkable Race

The Lapps are very fond of stimu-
lating drinks. They think nothing Of
drinking fifteen or twenty cups of cof-
fee a day, while their consumption Of
punch is on vast scale. 1t is no I'M
common thing to see numbers of help
lessly drunk natives in the streets Of
Tromso, especially when the sale of
reindeer flesh has been profitable. Yet
robbery and, indeed. crime in general
are practically unknown among them.

ments, during last night and early to-

The household effects Of the evicted

from which the tenants had been re-
moved. The evicted tenants found
refuge in the houses of friends. The
work Of eviction was suspended today
but it was announced that wednesday
the occupants of the sixteen other
houses owned by the company would
be ordered to leave. On Saturday
twelve houses were emptied. Nearly
all of the houses from which the strik-
ers were expelled Saturday were two
family structures.
Practically all of the tenants were
Polanders. Each family Lad a num-
Der of dodgers, and 1t is estimated rhat
at least 800 persons were made home
less by evictions.
The principal Developments today
was the importation of band of fifty
italian strike breakers who were taken
to the mills under a strong police
guard.

peared today before the appellate d.
vision of the supreme court at Brook
lyn to argue that within the law, he
has already suffered death and thus
has paid his debt to the state in full,
and should be set free.
Batrick contends that the solitary
confinement preceding the electrocu-

the penalty decreed In the death SEN
tence. He served that time i'm full

set new date for the execution it
transgressed his constitutional right
in ordering him to serve another

by duplicating the punishment he had
