CLEMENCY is ASKED
BY ROBERT FUTRELL
Negro, Who Killed Sweet
heart Here, Asked Pardon
Board for Release.

Robert Futrell, a negro, who was
sentenced to the Indiana state prison
in 1901 for life on verdict returned
on an Indictment of murder, yesterday
appealed to the state board of pardon,
asking that he be given his freedom
or that clemency be shown him. The
board, however, has taken no action
on the appeal.
Futrell, becoming jealous of his
sweetheart, killed her in a room on
South Sixth street early in 1901. Judge
Fox declared that this was a willful,
deliberate and cruel murder Futrell
desired that he should suffer the death
penalty for his crime and begged the
jury to return a verdict to that effect.
His trial began March II and lasted
two days resulting in a verdict of muir
der in the first degree with life i'm
prisonment. Futrell was much dissast-
isfed with the verdict and desired a
new trial in order that he might re-
ceive the death penalty. However. he
was not granted the second trial.

THE DUTCH FARMHOUSE.
Family and Cattle Find Quarters In
der the Same Roof.


The typical Dutch farmhouse is
square. one stored. with pyramid
shaped roof. The space between the
apex of the roof and the ceiling Of the
dwelling part is generally used as a
storehouse for winter food for the cat
tie. The living room door opens into
the stable. for the cattle are invaria bly,
housed under the same roof as the fam
lily. The homes vary little in their far
nishings. One always sees bright strips
Of carpet. highly polished center ia
Bile. where the family Bible is display
ed. and glass dresser, with its shelves
filed with rare old brass and delft
ware. The most curious thing about
the houses are the sleeping quarters
unique and certainly unhealthy from
the modern viewpoint, which requires
plenty of fresh air in the bedrooms.
The cheesemakers family sleeps in
beds built in cupboard-like recesses in
the wall and as far from the window
as possible. There is door similar to
that of a cupboard. and this is. kept
closed during the day in order that the
bed may be hidden from view. The
stuffy condition of this walled in bed
room can be readily imagined The
linen is always snowy white, and the
whole makeup presents an attractiv e
appearance even to the decorated strap
suspended from the ceiling and used TO
assist the occupant of the couch TO rise.

cheese farms. but the visit must Inc

Mather Bros. Co. Secure a
Large Local Order.

Some of the local consumers of coal
are having their troubles as well as
the small ones, in securing sufficient
coal to keep their plants in operation.
The Light, Heat and Power company
found themselves in this dilemma
when a foreign firm that had their
contract failed to keep them supplied.
An order for forty-five hundred tons.
equal to one hundred cars. was given
to Mather Bros. Co, few days ago
by the Light plant. A firm that can
handle as large a proposition under
the present conditions, should give

A LEGAL LEGEND.
The Tale Of Telling Comparison In
an Oriental Court.

an Oriental Court.
When Add -el-Hakk was poor. as he
was one day travelling across a weary
plain. he came to the house Of the
Widow Zaidah. who was also poor, but
when he made known his hunger she
set before him two hard boiled eggs,
all the food there was in her house.
Later. when Abd-el-Hakk lived in
Marakesh and was very rich. Meludi.
the lawyer, disliking him. persuaded
the Widow Zaidah to SIZE him for the
eggs. but not for the eggs alone, for
they would have become two chickens,
which in time would have so multiplied
that the whole fortune of Abdel Hakk
would not now pay for them. When
the case came to trial the rich man was
not in court.

QUEER BANK CHECKS.
Drawn on Wood and Other Things, but
They Got the Money.


They Got the Money.
There is a bank clerk In a western
city who has for years INDUCED a
hobby for collecting bank checks
drawn on queer articles. There hang
about this clerks desk torn linen
collar, a piece of lath. cut and vari-
Gus other objects used for the pur-
pose of drawing money from the bank.
Each of these has a story. The
clerk began his collection with a piece
Of lath. This was honored by the bank
for $3.50 1t was made into a check
by the owner of a sawmill. who. with
his son. was at the plant with no
check book. The money was needed
to pay the hands. The sawmill man
wrote on the lath just what check
correctly draw n would bear and sent
his son to the bank to get the money
and explain. The lath check was hon
ored after some discussion among the
bank officers
The cuff check was drawn by an
actor who while intoxicated had en-
gagged in fsticuffs with fellow
Thespian and had been arrested. He
was treated cavalierly in his cell AS
he could obtain no paper. he bribed a
boy to take his cuff check to bank.
In due course the player received his
money and paid his fine.
If one carries good account 1t is
proba Bile that his bank will honor his
check. even If drawn in freaky way.
but as a general thing they are loarh
to encourage that sort Of procedure

POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIST.
Repairing Cuts in Envelopes.

Just now when roads are being re
paired motorists frequently have to
drive over stretches OF crushed stone,
and tire treads are likely to suffer
from small cuts unless great care is
taken to drive slowly or coast" over
the repaired parts OF the road. These
cuts, unless properly cared for, will
prove injurious.
Dirt will work into and under the
tread, raising blisters and separating
the rubber from the carcass Of the tire
while moisture will attack and rot the
fabric. Once the fabric is affected,
says the Michelin expert, disintegra-
ton follows rapidly. The best protec-
ton Is the proper and timely uee OF
Mastic.
Immediately upon discovery cuts
should be cleaned to their full depth
with gasoline, the edges being kept
apart by match. All dirt or other
foreign matter should be removed with
stiff brush or splinter of wood cover
ed with waste. After the gasoline has
evaporated and the cut is absolutely
clean, its interior should be coated
with liquid cement. After this has
dried, a second coat must be applied
and while the cement is still "tacky' a
sufficient quantity of Mastic should be
forced into the cut until it is complete
ly filled. "A little excess Mastic il best
as it contracts somewhat in harden
ing. If the edges OF the cut are now
held down a few moments while the
Mastic sets, the repair is complete
The tire should not be used, however
for five or six hours, 50 that the Mas
tic may harden properly.

AND THEY ALL PLAYED BALL.
The Greatest Game Of the Season and

bases. Song made hit and Twenty

Balloon started to pitch, but went

but was wild Old Ice kept cool in
the game until he was hit by pitch

Awarding Tickets To
National Convention.
CONVENTION COMMITTEE WILL HAVE
$4,000 TO GIVE OUT.

Within the next few weeks final
preparations will begin for the Dem
.ocratic National Convention, which
will meet i'm Baltimore On June 25.
The committee on arrangements,
which has charge OF all details, will
assemble about June ! and will like
ly remain there until after the con-
vention adjourns.
One of the important duties OF the
committee will be the allotment Of
tickets, by, which alone admission 10
the convention hall can be secured.
On account of the large number OF
visitors expected this promises to be
q more difficult undertaking than
usual.
Space for delegates and alternates
will be allotted first. There is al
ways a contest among the State dele
cations to secure the more favorable
positions The committee usually
makes the allotments secretly, and
until the hall il opened on the morn
ing OF the convention no delegation
knows where hit will d. seated The
choice places are usually reserved
Ito the important Dmocratic delega-
tons like New York, Texas, Illinois,
Indiana, New Jersey and Ohio Mary
land as the host Of the convention
will receive likely a choice place.
There will be about 10000 tickets
to allot The seating capacity of the
hall will be somewhat in excess OF
10000 Of these about 1900 seats are
reserved for the delegates and alter
mates and 1000 for representatives
OF newspapers and press associations.
The other seats are divided into
classes according to their locations
and tickets for them are distributed
pro rata among those entitled to re-
-ceive them. The local convention
committee, Of which Robert Grain Is
chairman, will receive about 5000
tickets for distribution. Each dele
gate and alternate, besides the ticket
for his own seat, receives three TO
give away.
The remaining, between 5000 to a.
900, are allotted to members or the
National Committee and prominent
Democrats throughout the country.
The problem that will confront those
who have the distribution of tickets
is how to divide 10000 tickets among
$4,000 or 100000 visitors.
The appointment OF the hundreds
of employees of the convention door
keepers, pages, messengers, assistant
sergeants-at-arms and other atten-
dants Is in the hands OF Col. John 1.
Martin, ergeant-at-arms, but they
are made upon the recommendations
OF the National Committeeman and
are subject to their approval
About a week before the conven-
ton opens the National Committee
meets for the purpose of passing
upon contests between delegates and
to select the temporary )oflcers-
Though Chairman Norman Il. Mack
has not issued the call for the COM
mittee meeting, it will assemble in
all likelihood on June AS, one week
before the convention opens.
All contests must b. presented tn
this committee in writing, and both
contestants and contestees may be
represented by counsel.
In case of close contest between
two VI more candidates for the
Presidency, the Nationel Committee
has much influence. 1t selects the
temporary officers, and rarely has
the convention refused to accept its
choice.
