A PLEA FOR LAW

A strong declaration for the Law
came from the pen of Gov. Don
aghey of Arkansas in his denial Of
pardon for w. Y. Ellis, who shot
and killed n. p. Willis during .
trial of a lawsuit in Little Rock
several months ago.
The sentimental reasons for
granting a pardon were strong.
The wife of Ellis was once the
wife of Willis, and she bore Willis
daughter. She and Willis we're
divorced.
After her marriage to Ellis,
Willis harassed her with lawsuits
and attempted to gain possession
of the child.
The records show that Mrs. Ellis
is and was woman Of blameless
life.
Ellis felt that his wife was be-
ing prosecuted. In moment of
frenzy he shot Willis to death.
1t was case where sympathy
for the living man was great, and
where there was sorrow for his
wife, and for her child.
Tremendous pressure was
brought to bear on the governor
to issue a pardon. An enormous
petition was prepared.
Ellis distressed wife made per-
sonal appeal to the governor in
his behalf.
1t was urged that he was a VIC
tim of tuberculosis, and if he re-
NAMED i'll prison he would die.
1t cost Governor Donaghey a
struggle to resist the appeal. The
issuance of a pardon would prob
ably have not been criticised. Men
would have attributed it to his
goodness of heart and to his SYM
pathy for those who suffer and
mourn, but Donaghey kept his
mind on one dominant, crucial
fact. 1t was an obstacle against
the pardon, which, under calm
analysis, could not be overcome.
The law had been broken, and
in the name of the law penalty
had been melted out for the offense.
He felt powerless to set aside
the law. and he was not reckless
enough to violate its spirit.
His message denying this par
don is plea for the supremacy of
the law that every Judge, and ev-
cry governor, and every prosecut-
ing attorney and every lawyer
should read and ponder over. -

GET AEROPLhNE BY WIRELESS.
Experim ente1s at Electrical Show Make
Successful Demonstration.

: CHICAGO, ILL.,, IAN. 19.-An expert
ment which anticipates the future was
conducted successfully Monday at the
electrical show in the Coliseum when Il
wireless dispatch was transmitted from
a sender in the annex to a receiver in
the Wright aeroplane which is hung in
the roof of the building
The test was made in order to demon
strate the feasibility of fitting up aero
planes with wireless apparatus. Owing
to the large number of metal wires in one
of the flying machines the problem pre-
scented some difficulties, but it was finally
solved by Lieut.. Benjamin D. Foulois
and Frank j. Perry, who arranged the
antennae within the outside dimensions
of the Wright machine.
The same experiment Will be carried on
In Texas when Lieut.. Foulois takes the
Wright machine there for series of
flights. It may be possible to string the
antennae below the machine and thus
have it out of the way of the operator

BAALBEC THE BEAUTIFUL.
1t Has a Romantic Glory of Colc- Rare
in Imprinted Stone.

The town of Baalbec contains some
five thousand inhabitants, about a quar-
ter of whom are Christians. 1t has a
garrison; it is the seat of a bishop Of
the Greek Catholic church; it owns four
mosques, three churches, six schools, four
mOnasteries, three hotels, and a Turkish
bath; but all these glories lie far enough
apart from the ruins to leave their al
most matchless dignity and beauty unim-
paired. One thinks of them only for a
moment, realizes them not unpleasantly,
when one sees two soldiers strolling hand
in hand down the staircase of the Tenn
pie of Jupiter, or comes upon a group of
serious Arabs among the pillars of the
Temple OF Bacchus, or surprises q group
of women in shining black beneath the
Arab tower to the southwest of the tenn
pie, or upon the projecting platform
which is thrust out toward the orchards
not far from the Columns of the Sun
finds a bevy of brown and bright-eyed
Syrian children smiling down at the,
fairy revels of the white blossoms in the
breeze.
Never had I understood how exquisite
white can look with gold, fragility with
strength, that which has the peculiar
loneliness that passes with that which,
has the peculiar splendor that endures,
till 1 saw the piled golden stones, col
umns, and mighty walls of Baalbec ris-
ing into the sunshine among the white
flowers of Baalbec's orchards. BaalbecI
must be seen, if possible, in spring, and
seen at least once not only in the full
glory of day, but also when the sun Isl
declining. Then the Columns of the Sun
are alive, so it seems with changing and
almost mysterious glories; walls, archi-i
traves, door posts, capitals, and tangled
heaps of broken fragments, hold ro-l
mantle beauty of color such as have not
seen elsewhere in implanted stone

MRS. STETS0N LOSES.
cessful in Fight to Keep Control
of New York Church

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Mrs. Angus
tus Stetson's friends have lost their
fight to keep control of the First Church
of Christ. Scientist, board of trustees.
The result Of a prolonged session of
the congregation Tuesday night followed
by balloting in the early morning hours
was announced today, the candidates of
the party opposed to the former first
reader having teen elected by the de
cisive vote of 1873 to 1856.
The anti-Stetson ticket bore the leg
end: Loyalty to mother church; dem
ocratic government; rotation in office
and the policy of the trustees elected on
it will. it is declared, be framed in cor
dial sympathy with the wishes of the
leaders of the church in Boston.
There are hints that the validity of
the election will be tested in the courts
on the ground that challenges of voters
were overruled by the chairman of the
meeting. No authoritative statement on
this point could be secured today.

President Lewis Faction Is Charged
with Padding National Convention
Now in Session at Kansas CITY.

charge that the national administration
of the United Mine Workers of North

convention of the organization now in
session in this city. so that certain poll

The anti-Lewis element. led by Frank
j. Hayes. John H. Walker and Duncan
Mcdonald of Illinois, and William Green
of Ohio. succeeded at the opening of to-
days session in suspending the rules for
the introduction of motion by Hayes
that the salaries of the national organ

IN attendance in the convention as repre-
sentatiyes of local unions
long series of heated speeches on
both sides of the question followed and
President Lewis announced that he
