Governor Asked to Save
Criminal From Whipping

WILMINGTON, Del, March 1.-THE
board of pardons has been petitiored
to show mercy to Dick" Wright, a
young man who committed a series
Of crimes through this State and the
Peninsula and wound up by the mid
night torture of a woman whose home
he burglarized.
Wright was recently sentenced to
fourteen years Imprisonment and in
addition to receive seventy lashes on
his bare back. lie received forty of the
lashos two weeks ago and was to have
received the remaining thirty Ia at Satur-
day, but Governor Pennewiil reprievcd
him for sixty days in order to allow the
pardon board 10 consider the case.
The nationwide attacks on Delaware
because of the whipping post this win
ter have caused even the advocates of
the institution to join in the movement
TO spare Wright a further whipping.
They fear that if he should suffer a
physical breakdown the whipping post
would be doomed.

they could not do much until he reached
the point where he was willing to say
he would accept the nomination IL IL
came to him. Yours very truly,
March 8. FRANK A. MUNSEf.
This is an authorized interview on the
subject with Mr.. Munsey:
q. why did you say in the closing
paragraph OF your letter of March TO
Mr.. Blackwood that Mr.. Roosevelt's fol-
lowers got started much too late? A.
Because that is the fact. 1t Is obvious
that the men interested in seeing Mr.,
Roosevelt nominated could do nothing
definite until they received the assur-
ance from Mr.. Roosevelt that he would
accept the nomination II II came to him.
Without this assurance nothing really
could be done. ..t
O. Why was It that Colonel Rooss-
welt was 80 late in arriving at deci-
sion to become the candidate OF MS
party IL the nomination came to hlrng
A. II was not until he had become con-
vinced, by the many letters he re-
ceived, by the straw ballots throughout
the country which showed overwhelm-
ingly for him. and by the tender OF the
governors of the different states that he
ought to express his Willingness to serve
the people. Up 70 the time he felt
positively sure about the sentiment OF
the people he steadfastly refused to
make any move looking toward an ac-
ceptance of the nomination II 1t came
TO MIN, InlS Is not an lule ulS"eI' ~
carries the accuracy of one perfectly
familiar with the situation all the while.
q. How have you arrived at the con-
clusion that the people themselves are
freer from the politicians than ever be-
fore? A. 1t is an obvious certainty
that the people are freer from every
kind of tyranny ard every KIND OF en-
trenched power than ever before. They
think and act as Independent beings:
and unless I am much mistaken Will
show some of this independence OF
thought and action I'm the coming politl-
cal struggle now on.
@. why is 1t you have taken 30 keen
an interest in this campaign? a. II Is
with me simply a question of citizen
ship and doing my part as citizen. n
serious responsibility rests upon us In
this respect-far more serious than we
are wont to fancy. The hundred MIL
lions are the worth while people, not
the entrenched forces. politicians, cap
italists. or the favored few.
Mr.. Munsey telegraphed yesterday to
Mr. Blackwood. accusing him OF giving
only garbled reports of the answer TO
his letter and demanding that copies
of both letters be sent to Clarence Il,
Clough, chairman of the Roosevelt Re-
publican League.

General Huerta Telegraphs News of Federal Success to Mexico City. Vasquez Gomez Denies
 Being Prisoner

At the Rebel Front, near BermeJillo, Mexico, May 9.-Skirmishing between the sanguardf of General Orozcos army and the federals under General Huerta ragged for hours today through a storm of wind and dust on the desert plains in front of Torreon, the objective point of the rebels.
 Operating from Escalon as base, where General Orozco and his staff are sta- tioned, the liberal forces continued to tighten their cordon around the heavily garrisoned and fortified federal outposts st Bermejillo and Mapmi, both less than 200 miles from Torreon,
 Though there was much skirmishing no battle had been fought up to o'clock this evening, the federals refusing to be drawn from their strong positions. There was hardly an hour in the day, however, that the liberals did not feint at some point to coax the federals out into the open.
 In the meantime General Orozco began to get his men into positions where his artillery could support them.
 Notwithstanding the intense heat the men in the field are in good condition. A high wind has blown constantly for sev- eral days, raising clouds of dust and en- abling the liberals to move freely with out fear of detection.

Excise Commission Pleased

EXclSe COmmiSSlOn fieased
 Members of the excise commission were greatly pleased over the decision of the supreme court yesterday in upholding the Smith and Park bills relative to liquor selling in this state.
 The commissioners were informed yes terday of the decision and while the body had in measure discounted the opinion believing firmly in the wisdom of the at torneys drawing the bills, yet there was a situation of unrest which could not be concealed.
 Chairman w. C. Agee yesterday said that while the commissi,> had been oper- ating on the assumption that the laws were good yet there was some hesitancy as to the general scheme of work out lined until the cases had been definitely determined. Commissioners Seydenham m Moore and Edward Wilkinson were both elated
 T am very glad to learn that the laws have been passed upon and the decision so overwhelming for the validity of the bills" said Chairman Agee T take it rNw tha' every interest heretofore in doubt will line up for the work in view

The anticipation of an ad- verse decision of those laws was suffi- cient to cause all of us interested. to go slowly. However. now that HstF over there is no reason to be disturbed over the final outcome of this experiment. for it will eventually become a wonderful success"
 "The decision clarifies the general situ- ation' said Commissioner Wilkinson. While we believed firmly in our position. yet there was an underlying uneasiness which now has melted into perfect en- thusiasm. I am certainly glad it is over and we are certain beyond all doubts as to our authority
