Secretary Meyer announced
that there might be a further
statement on the report of the
board after it had been con-
sideredl by the President. One
member of the board was of
the opinion that the'report would
never be published in full but
would be kept in the archieves of
the Navy Department.
The declaration that a low
form of explosive" was used in
the outside explosion indicates a
belief that a mine and not a
dirigible torpedo was the instru-
ment of destruction. This only
deepens the mystery. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpow-
der to blow in the bottom Of

such a mine and lay the electric

MAINE BLOWN FROM OUTSIDE
NayaI Board Confirms Report OF
Original Investigators OF
Wreck

Washington, Dec. 5. The
United States battleship Maine,
which sank beneath the waters
of Havana harbor in February,
1898, as the result of an explo-
sion, was blown up from the
outside. This was announced
today by the naval board which
has been examining the wreck.
The finding confirms the report
of the original investigators
who made a superficial eXami-
nation of the wreck shortly after
the disaster.
The statement given out by the
navy department is brief. Sec
rotary Meyer does not believe 1t
necessary to issue any extended
explanation Of the boards con-
illusions, except the flat state
ment that an exterior explosion
was responsible.
The statement follows:
The board finds that the in
juries to the bottom Of the
Maine were caused by the eX-
ploslon of charge of low form
of explosives exterior to the

provided by a proposed statute drafted
by the code commission and presented to
the legislature. Hydrocyanic acid is the
poison mentioned. and one drop on the
end of the, tongue will produce instant
death.
When the code commission was con-
sidering the clause relating to the in
Fiction of the death penalty it was sug-
gested that prisoner have the choice OF
becoming his own executioner. but the
idea was not adopted. After the act had
been sent to the state printer "a CONSUL
tation was held and ii was decided that
the poison idea was worthy of consider
alto. The section then was amended.
The proposed statute says that the judge
at the time of pronouncing sentence ska i
allow the defendant to designate which
method of death he desires. Ii the con-
demned person elects voluntarily to take
hydrocyanc acid he shall be provided
with sufficient quantity to cause instan-
taneous death at least ten minutes be-
fore the time for carrying out the death
sentence by the prison physician at the
order Of the warden.
This shall be written on the bottle:
There is contained herein a sufficient
quantity of hydrocyanic acid to cause in
Simultaneous death. You are authorized
TO take the same for the purpose of car
rying into execution the sentence OF death
heretofore pronounced against you
Should the prisoner fail to take the
poison then ii is specified that he shall
be hanged forthwith.

GARDNER IS ACQUITTED
OF ATTEMPT TO BR|BE
Charged With Offering Otto G.
FoeIker $4,000 for Vote on
Hart-AgneW Bill

NEW YORK. February 24.-Former
Senator Frank j. Gardner OF Brooklyn
was acquitted yesterday of the charge of
offering Otto G. Foelker $1,000 for his
vote to defeat the Hart-Agnew race track
bill in 1908. The jury was out one hour.
Gardner maintained an air of con-
fidence during the time that the jury was
out, and only smiled when the foreman
announced the verdict: but his wife and
mother burst into tears. Gardner went
to his wife's SIDE soon as he could
and kissed her. which caused her to sob
on his shoulder for a time. In the
meantime Justice Seabury had quickly
stopped an attempted display of approval
of the jurys verdict by persons in the
courtroom.
The Gardner trial is said to have been
the first criminal trial OF Importance in
which there was no summing up for
either side. After the defense had rest
ed, Assistant District Attorney Mott and
Max ID. Steuer. counsel for Gardner,
agreed to waive their right to sum up
and to permit Justice Seabury to review
for the jury the Facts brought out by
each side.
Gardner was on the stand for a good
part of the time yesterday undergoing
cross-examinati ton and denying again and
again that he had attempted to bride
Foelker.
1t is understood that the jury took four
ballots, on the first of which four favored
conviction.

those stores of wealth which have been
