a rifle.
Both men are well known through
out the county and had been neigh

remote section. Gam had the repu-

tragedy, early Monday afternoon,
Gam asked Joe Winn, man who had
been working for him at the ranch,
to 20 fix him a toddy. go fix 1t your
self, If you want it," responded Winn,
angered at the peremptory tone of the
other. Later high words having

Chicago. Feb. 1G.-Aore men were
hanged in Chicago today than suffered
death for throwing the Haymarket
bomb in the anarchist riots of 1sSG.
Two murders caused FIVE men to
walk TO the gallows and drop TO their
deaths through the trap, while iour
were hanged for the Haymarket
bomb throwing.
Frank Shiblawski, Ewald Shiblaw-
ski, his brother Phillip Sommerling,
and Thomas schultz. slayers of Fred
W. Guelow. Jr.. a truck farmer,
whom they killed in cold blood after
robbing him, died while their spiritual
adviser was seeking to convince a
Judge that the four were insane.
The execution of the men, who were
hanged in pairs. the Shiblawski broth
ers first. cut short the plea.
The hanging of Thomas Jennings,
a negro. who killed Clarence Hitler
while attempting to rob the Hitler
home. came after Judge lands, in
the federal district court, had denied
a petition for release on writ OF
habeas corpus which set forth that
Jennings had been convicted on finger
print evidence. which he had been
compelled to give the police in viola
ton of his rights.
Judge Lands did not rule on the
competency of the evidence, holding
that the point. If taken to the federal
courts at ALL should have been carried
directly to the United States supreme
court from the state supreme court.
He also declined to consider the
affidavit of photographer that he
had been asked by the police to re-
touch photographs of Jennings finger
prints and criticized the man who
made the affidavit for delaying 20
make his statement until the trials
and appeals were over.
The five hangings caused many to
discuss the abolition of capital pun
ishment in Illinois. Sheriff thinner
said:
II am not so sure | believe in the
wisdom of capital punishment. IL is
the law and we are here to carry out
the law, but il seems to me that i'm
prisonment for life without hope Of
communication or pardon. at hard labor,
whose proceeds could be given to the
widow or orphans or other depend
ents of the victim, would he greater
deterrent TO crime.
"I believe today's work will have a
strongly deterrent effect on crime for
some time to come continued the
sheriff. 1T has been n long time
since the extreme penalty has been
inflicted. But I believe better Law
for the punishment of murder could
be made"
Mayor Harrison also declared;
"Scme times / think II would be
better to do away with capital pun
ishment and substitute life imprisor-
ment. But the law should make y
impossible to escape the prison pen
alty except on evidence"
The police experienced difficulty
tonight in handling a crowd OF sew
eral thousand persons who struggled
TO see the bodies of four of the exc
cuted men at an undertaking estab-
lishmcnt.

theodore Roosevelt made a mon
key of, Himself III tchfeago. His
crazy actions there disclosed to his
followers that his candidacy was
chiefly the result OF his xainglorious
overweening ambition; and the dis
closure pulled the Roosevelt move

utter and hnmifiating defeat. In

Doubtless wishes that he had taken
the advice OF his wiser councillors
and had stayed away from Chicago.
A brief review of his miserable man
agement there shows that his colo
sal egotism and impetuous audacity
were the means of his rulnation.
The colonel realized soon after he
set foot in Chicago that he
had been counting, chicken before
they were hatChed. He first took
the position of demanding a show
down of his strength at the outset
of the proceedings by putting up a
candidate of his own for temporary
chairman. He abandoned that po-
sition once, twice and again and
again, disgusting even his own man.
ayers by his vacillatEon. He decided
to sldestep fight at first by sup
porting Govern McGovernor, of Wis
consln, and, thus forcing the Wiscon-
sin vote to his side. Then he d.
reeted Senator Borah to prepare an
address, which was to be the key
note OF the Roosevelt campaign; but
when warned that IBorah might de-
Liver an address that would carry
away the convention he switched
back tosMcGovern. Mr.. Roosevelt
wanted Mr.. Roosevelt nominated
and none other.
The following day the vote on the
craftsmanship proved that the COL
onePs reason for not putting up his
own candidates was his realization
OF the utter hopelessness of obtain
ing a majority. Then, when the
Roosevelt delegates began submitting
like lambs to the actions of Chair
man Rosewater, the light began to
dawn upon the colonel that he could
not control his own delegates. Play
ing his last card, the colonel, in a
lengthy public statement, declared
he was through and urged all his
followers to bolt the regular con-
vention Roosevelt members of the
credentials committee then boited
from the committee The colonel

ordered AL the Roosevelt men IN the
convention 10 bolt the next morn
ing The committee obeyed the or
der, but at 16'o'elock his lieutenants
reported 70 him that after \ canvass
II was evident that his order to bolt
would be almost universally dis
obeyed and that the bolt would
prove a miserable fiasco
The folly o. a bolt then being made
clear, Roosevelt lost heart. His
magnificent audiclty deserted HIM
He saw his ambition thwarted. In;
a moment of desperation he announc-
ed that all Roosevelt delegates were.
released from further allegiance to
him and that they might vote as they
saw, fit AN hour later. Mt. Roose-
welt saw that by releasing his own
delegates he was swelling the vote
for President Taft. Still determined
to ihiure President Taft to the last,
the colonel recalled his release and
the Roosevelt delegates were notified
that they would be held "a, their in
structions and pledges. Later in the
day. Mr.. Roosevelt, afteg,a final sur
.yey of the situation threw up his
hands and took his hat out OF the
ring. announcing himself as candi-
date of Third party to- be born a
few months later.
But, The colonel did not stay out
long. That night Friday night-he
instructed the Roosevelt men to re-
main in their seats in the convention
but ito take no part in the proceed
ings. The next morning they COM
pletely ignored his plan and took "a
vigorous part in every action of the
convention. Repeated attempts to
stampede the convention had utterly
failed and severals times 1t appeared
that the Roosevelt demonstration
would turn from him to Hadley, OF
Borah or someone else.
Then. another bolt was planned
for 10 o'clock Saturday night, but It
fzzled, as only six or seven Roose-
welt. delegates left the convention hall
OF that time. After the adjournment.
of the convention, miserable at
tempt was made by the colonel to,
hold a boiling convention in. orches-
ira hall, but only few delegates took
part, the others attending merely as
curious spectators. Grasping at the.
last, straw the colonel then announc-I
ed another conventions and quit the.
scene, Disguised, defeated and mortiz
fed. 4
Thus the Roosevelt attempt to-
wreck the Republican party ended iHl
a wretched fiasco. All his delgates-
who remained in the regular con-
vention, even though some of them
did not vote, indicated by their pres,
ence their absolute reputation of
any Roosevelt bolt. Only a pitiful1

The colonel lost his hold completely:

There viii be no special Roosevelt
