DENVER, Colo, June 19.-'.I am not
AFRAID to die. do not fear the gal
lows, but do treasure square deal
In life. 1t does not seem to me that
have had the justice to which every
man Is entitled. But my friends will
never stop until everything can be
done that is possible for me. The dy-
ing part do not fear. 1t is the weeks

Fheen treated with fairness by District
Attorney Rush. But whatever my fate
have learned what true friendship Ii
from the wonderful way my lawyers
and other friends have stood by me-
This statement made for the United
Press was the only comment Frank
Henwood made on the verdict OF the
Jury which late yesterday convicted
him OF first degree murder for killing
Copeland and fixing the
a bolt Of lightning out OF clear sky,
was clearly evident. He did not ex-
pect the death penalty. Today instead
of occupying cell in bankers row,
he is in the death chamber under con-
stant guard. John T. Bottom, Hen
woods attorney, today worked on pa
pers for an application for a new
trial. This must be filed within ten
4 days. It's expected to take the form
.tof an application for writ of super
/. sedeas. It will present many allega-
ltions, and may be carried to the Unit
led States supreme court. The defense
falleges that having once been convict
4 ed of lesser degree murder at his first
trial and by implication cleared of
the more serious degree of crime, he
cannot now be sentenced to death.
The jury was out Is hours and took
33 ballots before the issue was decid-
4 ed. The first ballot showed the twelve
men We're unanimous for conviction
and the second ballot decided the de-
.lgree of murder. The next five ballots
we're equally divided between life i'm.
. prisonment and the death penalty
Balloting continued for eight and one
half hours before an agreement was
reached on the penalty
4 Many lawyers today expressed the
belief that Henwood would never
hang insisting that either the supreme
court would change the penalty to life
Imprisonment or commuts his sen
tence.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 49,
Eighty girls were deliberately burned
to death today when villagers in the
Piriatin sugar beet district set fire 10
the building where the girls were
asleep, according to special dis
patch from Kief.
They barricaded the doors and the
young women had no chance to es
cape. Their pitiful shrieks for heir
and frantic beating on the doors and
windows could be heard as the flames
roared around them, said the dis
patch.
Much cheap labor has been import
ed into the district by the sugar
planters of late and 1t Is supposed

which was dormitory occupied b.
women sugar workers, were enrags,

Maiden Voyage.

NEW YORK, June 19-With her
bands playing, pennants flying and
greeted by salutes from every craft in
the harbor, the new giant Of the seas,
the Hamburg American liner Impera-
tor steamed up the bay and docked at
Hoboken today. The deep bass whist
les and sirens Of the Imperator below
ed reply to the shrieking welcome of
the smaller boats and tugs which ap-
peared as water bugs beside the mon
ster steamer.
All the way up the bay, tugs hover
ed near the Imperator. 1t was not be-
tlieved they would be needed but no
chances were taken. Between Tom
kinsville and Liberty Island there is
/ but 800 feet steerage way in the chan
mel and this was considered most
dangerous place for the Imperator to
pass. Because of the size of the new
boat the roof of the Hamburg-Ameri,
can dock was opened and elevated
stages built so that her gang planks
could be lowered.
OF Quarantine last night all lights
were ablaze and the big ship looked
like huge hotel. When she sailed
she had in her larder 4s,500 pounds OF
fresh meat, $4,000 eggs, $4,000 pounds
of potatoes, 2T,5oo pounds of fresh

NOT IMPRESSIVE

Yellow and Tired Looking
Creatures.

NEW YORK, June 19.-On the way
to Philadelphia where they hope to
borrow the liberty bell for the Panama
Pacific exposition, a party of young
women from Oregon chaperoned by
Mrs. G. l.. Barkley are in New York
today and Of all the things they have
seen here the New York men impress
ed them the least. Mrs. Barkley de-
clared that the New Yorker appeared
to be below the western man physical
ly, mentally and morally.
"The typical New York man has to
be short, thin, scrawny, yellow and
tired looking" she said. THE sweet
ness and goodness of life seem to have
been sapped from the New Yorker in
his struggle to get ahead. don't be-
lieve that he has the qualities of vir-
father and ideal home Out west our
men don't have to live at such a pace
They work hard but no harder than Is
good for them, and they have a chance
to develop ideals and sentiment. The
girl who marries one Of them will mar
ry man, not merely pocket book"
"The essential superiority OF the
western man is shown by giving the
women the vote. The western husband
considers that his wife is equal with
himself. He doesn't consider her q
plaything or toy to be taken care OF
/ lest she break. The eastern man
seems to have the most degrading
idea of woman"
Mrs. Barkley said 1t was not neces.
sary for the western woman to &c
4 through n lot Of silly sensational
demonstrations to get the vote Wo
men talked to men of their acquaint
ance and when men found women
were really interested they had given
them equal suffrage. AS to the eastern
girl going west, Mrs. Barkley said that
IL her only recommendations were
paint and powder she had better stay
In the east. 49,

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Every
public man whose name has been fam
iliarly banded about by the sugar
protectionists in their written discus
sions on how to get "the right kind"
of men on house and senate commit
tees may be subpoenaed by the senate
lobby investigation committee, Chair
man Overman stated today. In the
letters seized in the offices Of United
States Beet Sugar Producers and read
into the record, Senator Reed one Of
the committee said today he saw evil
dence Of a gigantic effort to sway pub
lie opinion. When the committee con-
yened today the first step of the inves-
tigation Of facts sited in the letters
was begun. Melville e. Stone, general
manager Of the Associated Press took
the stand on his own request to ex-
plain references to publicity given
through his news organization to the
sugar men. If the committee calls all
men whose names were mentioned in
the correspondence an extension sof
time for the hearing must be asked.
Among those names in the letters as
having been the object Of solicitude
I or interest by sugar protectionists
were ex-president Taft, VIM. Loeb, for
mer secretary to President Roosevelt,
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, ex-chief chemist
Senator Newlands, Of Nevada; former
Senator Teller, of Colorado; Clarence
E. Edwards, formerly chief Of insulal

Summer Comfort
for the
stay-at-Hones.

The first warm days bring
disappointment TO many Of us
who cannot join the general
summer exodus from town, but
who, for one reason or another,
must stay in our houses or
apartments during the warm
months.
We can't all go to the noun
tains or seashore, but, by a
careful and judicious expendi-
ture, every woman can make a
summer atmosphere in her
own home If she chooses.
Rugs, heavy curtains, and
draperies can be put carefully
away, and in their place can be
substituted a whole new set Of
things at surprisingly low
cost. There is an infinite num-
Der of fibre rugs in the mar
ket to I'll. any size space; there
are dainty fresh, cotton curtain
materials in charming designs;
and as for cretonnes for furni-
ture coverings, their beauty and
variety are bewildering.
Just read carefully through
the house-furnishing advertise
ments in THE GATE CITY and
calculate for yourself how little
these summer comforts would
actually cost.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The lockout
sof 10000 men, employed in all the

pected to go into effect at noon today.
The building operators who issued
the ultimatum to the workers planned
to put the lockout in effect when the
men appeared at work this morning
but later postponed It until quitting
time at noon.
The Building Construction Employ
ers Association voted the lockout.
The employers threaten to keep the
men idle Until the building trades
council forces the striking marble
workers employed on The Continental

turn to work.
The trades involved are the cleo
tricians. lathers, plumbers, brick-lay-
ers, steam-fitters. ornamental iron
workers and marble workers.
Efforts to adjust the differences be-
tween the striking marble workers
and employers failed last week. The
building trades council had under con-
sideration the calling OF general
strike when the employers took the
initiative.
The first act of violence was report
ed today when the foreman on the
new Conway building, sky scraper
opposite the city hall, discovered that
during the night the wires attached
to the electric hoisting machinery had
been cut and the machinery rendered
useless. A steam hoisting outfit was
