that no substantial relief can be Sc

materially reduced and these criminal
conspiracies broken up" On May %
the department of labor issued a re-

LAST APPEAL is DENIED
one-Time British Knight Executed In
Courtyard Of Pentonville Prison
by q Barber-Execution Was
Private-Becomes Catholic.

London, Aug. 4.-Sir Roger Case
ment was executed as traitor at 9:O7
o'clock Thursday morning In the yard
Of Pentonville prison.
The last moments of the condemned
man were not without interest. Over
night the public hangman, man
named Ellis of Rochdale, who Is a
hairdresser when he Is not hanging
people, arrived at the prison. Ellis
received a fee of f5 ($25) from the
undersheriff, who was supposed to do
the gruesome work. but under the ira
ditional custom had the privilege of
hiring someone to do 1t for him.
Early in the morning Ellis tested the
scaffold with a bag of sand of exactly
the same weight as Easement. The
prisoner was aroused about seven
o'clock, and, performing his toilet, re-
ceived visit from the governor of
the prison, o. Il. NJ. Davis. Then he
was asked what he wanted for break
fast.
In the last moments Easement was
visited by Roman Catholic priest

Catholic faith. The two remained clos
eted together until few minutes be-
fore nine o'clock.
Then a medical officer, the under
sheriff and the hangman entered. The
hangman lost no time commencing his
duties. Sir Rogers arms were
strapped to his side and he took his
place in the solemn procession to the
scaffold. short distance from the
cell. AS the procession moved on, the
clergyman read the burial service.
The condemned man stepped on the
scaffold; his legs were pinioned. then
the rope was placed around his neck.
Lastly the white hood was placed
over the condemned mans head.
While this was going on the chap
lain recited prayers, and with few
moments after arriving at the scat
fold the executloner touched the spring
and the unfortunate man was hurled
into eternity.

TICKET WILL APPEAL
Republican Standard Bearers
Known to Country.
Both Have, In the Pariance Of the
Day, "Made Good" in High Places,
and Are Worthy Of Voters
Confidence.

The value of the Republican ticket
Increases upon reflection. 1t is. strong
in every way. Both men have made
good in high places. Both enjoy the
full confidence of their supporters. and
the cordial respect of their opponents.
Geographically. the ticket is all that
could be desired. New York and Indi-
ana are important states, the former
particularly so. Mr.. Hughes has dem
onstrated strength in the one. and
Mr.. Fairbanks In the other. Each is
believed to be as strong ut home as
ever.
Mr.. Fairbanks brings to his party
Mt this time the prestige not only Of
ability and experience, but of thorough
party loyalty. For twelve years he has
been under discussion In connection
with the presidency. In the early days
of 1904, when Mr.. Roosevelt's claims
to the nomination. were under dispute.
Mr.. Fairbanks name was mentioned.
As 1908 approached 1t was again men,
ifoned; but Mr.. Roosevelt by throwing
his influence to Mr.. Taft settled the
question of the nominee for that year.
In 1912. had a compromise of the Taft
and Roosevelt wrangle been forced
and new man made possible and nee
essary. Mr.. Fairbanks would have fig
ured prominently in the field of the
avail8bles.
This year, as we have just seen. he
had warm support for the honor he
coveted, those knowing him best work
Ing for him with will.
But, though failing Of first place in
1904. he accepted second, and carried
mis- state for the ticket. In 1908 he ac-
eepted the result without complaint,
and worked hard and successfully for
Taft and Sherman. In 1912 he re-
manned true to his party, and now
yields his personal wishes and accepts
second place again at the call. practi-
cally unanimous. of his party.
The Indiana statesman Is a good,
stanch, true-hear ted man and partisan.

certain of him. He Is not the wear for
