EXPLORING HERcuLANEUM.

Very extensive excavations are to
be made shortly at Herculaneum,
Italy. The Italian chancellor Of the
ezchequer has granted a million
lire for the purpose, and the king
himself has promised to give 100000
lire. 1t is curious to note that 60
houses have been built right over
the streets Of the old town. These
will all have to be pulled down. Con-
siderable treasure, it is said, lies hid

SUSPECTS ARRESTED
Section Foreman Found Dead, Wife
Is Accused.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Minden.-A seemingly most afro
eious murder was committed on the
Louisiana and Arkansas railroad.
The man killed was Fl. r. Hammer,
section foreman on the Louisiana and
Akrkansas railway, and occupying
section-house with his family at MS
intyre, five miles from Minden. '
"A freight train bound for Shreve-
port, struck an object. The engineer
and crew found the body of Hamper.
whom they recognized.
A coroner's jury was impaneled and
On examination of the body it was
found to contain five shots in the back
and neck. 1t became apparent that
death had resulted from the shots in
stead Of being run over by the train.
, Investigation by Sheriff Clement and
Deputy Phillips, associated by other
persons, resulted in the arrest of the
wife of the dead man. Mac Hadley
and his brother, Monroe Hadley, who
lived near the section-house, were also
arrested.
Mrs. Hammer is an attractive
woman of 93 years. Mac Hadley, the
younger of the two brothers, hasIoften
been visitor to the home of Hammer,
and was considered a bosom friend Of
the, family. His brother, Monroe, is
charged with being an accomplice.

S823.415.455.14 Is Estimated
Cost Submitted by Depart
ment Heads.
BIG INCREASE IN PENSIONS
War Department Plans Three New
5attleships-onIy One Allowed
by Democrats Last Year.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-It will cost $S23,4l5,.
455.14 to construct the affairs of the
government for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, according to the esti-
mates of the various department
heads. submitted to the speaker of the
house by the secretary of the treasury.
This amount. not including provision
for the postal service, which is ex-
pected to be. sCIf-supporting, is an in
crease of S72.07S,24S over the appro-
priations made for the present year
by tAe last session of congress.
OF this increase S2S,3l2,2 ,22O appears
in estimates of the secretary of the
navy, and S20,597,297 represents the
increase asked by the navy depart
ment in the appropriations for build
ing and equipping new vessels. The
estimates would provide for three new
battleships TO be laid down during the
year. This would make up for the
lapse of one ship from the two-battle-
ships a year program, caused by the
action of the Democratic house in pro-
viding for but a single ship at the
last session.
Another $20,000,000 or more of the
total increase is shown in the esti-
mates for the payment of pensions.
The amount asked for this year is
S1S5.220,0 900 An increase of about the
same amount as appears in the es-
Inmates for public work for the year.
The construction of public buildings
planned for the year also shows an
increase of $l.012,53O over the appro-
priations for the present year: sS,722,-
900 being asked for that purpose. The
work to be done during the year on
the Panama canal will cost s30.174,-
432. which is Sl.11O,567 less than the
appropriations for the current year.
OF this sum $6,769,5 ,522 is asked to build
Notifications and military barracks in
| the canal zone. This year $2:325, ,6de
was appropriated for Notifications at
Panama.
The estimates forecast another bill

addition TO the $S23, 3,415,455, which is
the total estimated for, the postmaster
general estimates that 1881 ,791 ,5OS
will be necessary to conduct his de-
partment for the year This amount
will be supplied out of the postal rev.
enues and will bring the total esti-
mated appropriations for the year uP
to s1.1O5,2O6,963.
Among the estimates which will de-
velop debate in congress is demand
for s250,000 for the Economic Defi-
cheney Committee, appointed by Presi-
dent Taft, which is investigating and
reforming the system of conducting
the government business in the va
rious departments. Another trouble

PATRICK GIVEN PARDON
Long Fight for Freedom Finally Won
by Sentenced Man.

Albany ". Y.T-AlReTtt 7. Patrick,
Sing prison for the murder of William
Marsh Rice, an aged millionaire, in
New York City on Sptember 3, 1900,
was pardoned last week by Governor
Dix.
Patrick, who was saved from the
electric chair by the late Governor
Higgins in December, 1906, has made
a remarkable fight for freedom. A
lawyer by profession, he protested
when Governor Higgins commuted the
death sentence to life Imprisonment,
declaring that the governor had no
legal right to cancel the original SEN
tence and impose punishment of life
Imprisonment.
There has always been an air of
mystery in this important case," Gov
ernor Dix said. Quoting from the
minority opinion of the Court of Ap-
peals, the atmosphere that surrounded
the defendant showed that a fair and
impartial trial was scarcely possible
Il trust that Mr.. Patrick will de-
vote his energies to a complete vindi-
cation of his declared innocence.
During the past year | have given
much consideration to this case and
am convinced that the defendant is en-
titled to have a full pardon"
Governor Dix said Superintendent
of State Prisons Scott and scores of
prominent citizens appealed to him
in Patrick's behalf.
