The climax In the prOtracted Wrspgle
over the long and short haul feature OF
the administration railroad bill came in
the Senate today. Under an agreement
general debate will proceed as usual un-
Ill four O'Clock, when vote will be taken
on The Dixon amendment, which gives
the Interstate Commerce Commission au
thotity to determine In what instances 8
higher rate may be charged for a shorter

Beyond four o'clock debsts was per-
misssbIe on the remaining amendments
of like character. 1t Is unlikely con.
clusion can be reached today sud re-
cess will probably be taken till tomor-
row. The entire subject must be cou'
cluded before adjournment on this legis
latlve day.
The original iuteTststs commerce act
contains the words "unler Substantially

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 10. 1910

The action Of Governor Mann yester-
day 10 extending the life of Henry
Smith three weeks and the lives OF Osl'
viu johnson, Richard Pines snd Eugene
Dorsey four weeks was unexpected aud
surprising to psople in this city. IL
was generally understood that his excel
lsDcy would commute the sentences OF
the four men. This supposition wss
based upon assertions made by Rich
mopd newspaper meD, who imagined they
had OWNED the governors Intentions
Their X.rays, however, we're defective.
The murder for which these negroes
vera convicted and sentenced to be
eIectrocuted was committed fourteen
months sgo, sDd the mu'dereTs we're
can u,ed two weeks later The trials OF
the men consumed moat OF the time Oh
the court last summer and three OF them
were sentenced to be pat to death 10 the
early fall. Smith was subsequently
tried and he was sentenced to be electro
cu!ed In the second week 10 January.
Governor Swanson postponed the execu'
ton of johnson, Pines AVID Dorsey from
time to time, and Governor Mann has
followed In bis foot taps In the cases oil
all four. His txcellency Is probably
acting on the best motives, and Is will
ing TO give counsel for the condemned
men time 10 which to bring forward
anything Of importance they may dis
cover. he evidently bslks, however,
at eIectrocuting three men convicted
mainly on the evidence of a confessed
periurer and a noted criminal who had
served time 10 the peDltenlisry. While
Smith furnished the mGtsiisl evidence
on which Johnson, Pines sDd Dorsey
were convicted, they were unable to re-
fute it-ihst Is, to the satisfaction OF four
iuriFs or to the court. The frequent re-
pu listion OF Smiths statements COM
plicated the case seriously. The gov
ernor, under the circumstances, desires
to proceed cautiously 10 such serious
mst,er aud will consider the case Ia sll it'
details before be gives final Judgment
The governor acted wisely on postponInE
the day OF execution of johnson, Pines
sud Dorsey till ait'r that Of Smith, for
the latter has stated that the truth will
never be known 10 the case I'LL he takes
his seat 10 the electric chair.
