ten wears in the American Embassy In
Toxic as secretary and charge d'affaires.
As to Mr.. Dawson, 1t is intimated now
that the reason he declined to have MS
name considered further In connection with
the Brazilian ambassadorship was because
he was promised the place of Assistant Sec

of diplomatic service. having been secretary
and charge d'affaires of the then American

tenders. Alexander Nc Bride, Nicholas Barth
and Charles Sullivan. The men ran beside
the creek trying to find a pole or piece Of
rope they could use in getting Smith out,
but by this time the icy water had reduced
him to helplessness. and his rescuers saw
that they had no time TO waste.
They pulled off their coats, plunged into
the creek and, after struggle OF nearly
ten minutes, brought Smith 10 the bank,
where they worked over him until their
wet slothes were sheets Of ice. Smith was

DEATH PENALTY FAVORED
Bishop Doane and Chief Judge
Cullen Against Abolition.

Albany. Jan. r. - Whose sheddeth
mans blood. by man shall his blood be
shed" was the answer OF the Right Rev.
william Croswell Doane. Bishop OF the
Episcopal Diocese OF Albany, when asked
to-day whether he believes In the abolition
OF capital punishment.
The question was suggested by the atti-
tude OF Governor Dix and Colonel Joseph
+. Scott State Superintendent OF Prisons,
who have announced their belief that the
death penalty should be abandoned In this
state.
Capital punishment is right" said the
Bishop. THE objection To II is purely
sentimental. Those who have been declar-
ing themselves I'm favor OF the removal OF
the death penalty overlook the one great
significant instruction-God's own words,
which have quoted"
Edgar NJ. Cullen. chief judge Of the Court
OF Appeals, which passes on practically all
OF the murder cases in the state, says the
death penalty should not be removed.
The law in This state is right as II
stands" ne was quoted to-day. The
bars Of justice should not be let down"
Cornelius V. Collins ex-Superlntendent Of
State Prisons, has long opposed the aboli-
ton OF capital punishment.
'Jf guard In our prisons incurred the
enmlty Of life prisoner" said Mr. Col
lins, there would be nothing to prevent
the prisoner from killing the guard. and

nothing more to the prisoner, no matter
how many he killed.
