to whether it would be necessary to
re-sentence the five murderers at the
pen.tentiary to whom Governor West
issued reprieves and who are sched-
uled to hang December 1S.
The attorney-general declared that
after an examination of a number of
authorities, he was inclined to be-
lieve that it would be necessary for
circuit judges who sentenced murder
ers to again fix the date of execution
as the original date had gone by be-
cause of reprieyes. Subsequent in
vestigations, however. have unearthed
high authorities which seem to hold
a contrary view and until he has
prosecuted his Investigations more
thoroughly, he wiz not be prepared to
give an opinion in the case.
Should it be found necessary to
have the circuit judges fix a new date
for the hangings. he wholesale hang
ing schedule for December 13 would
be avoided as it is thought different
dates would be fixed by the several
judges.

York shere was a general feeling of
approval of Wilson's announced in
tention to call a special session of
congress to deal with the tariff.
The tariff will be revised in ac-
cordance with the Baltimore plat
form,' said Mack. 1T is not possible
now to say where or in what particu-
lar. 1t will be revised. 1t is the gem
eral feeling that special session to
deal with the question is a wise move
in order that the revision may be
completed expeditiously and the bus
mess men know where they are at"
Mack said that New York's par
ticipation in the San Francisco ex-
position would be commensurate with
the character of the enterprise. New
York, he said had appropriated $780,
| 600 already to be expended for a
| building and exhibits and that as much
