RETRIEVED 3 TIMES,
 CONDEMNED MAN SAYS
 HE NEVER WILL HANG

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 MURPHYSBORO, Il, June 29.- Ellston Scott, Illonois' most rcprievcd murderer, sits calmly in his cell in the county jail here, confident he neyel will hang for the murder of his sister in-law at Carbondale last summer.
 Scott was sentenced to hang October 10th last but has been repri- eyed five times by Governor Dumne. His last reprieye gives him life until July 14.
 The many ropricvcs grow out of a dispute between Governor Dunne and Sheriff White of Jackson county. Shortly before the date set for Scotts hanging here Joe Debcry, another negro murderer expiated his crime on the gallows.
 Large posters announcing that nov ing pictures of the hanging would be shown at a local moving picture theatre reached Governor Dunne.
 He made an investigation end. ac- cordiug to his statement, two thou sand persons, most of whom had paid $2 for their tickets, saw the Dcberry hanging.
 Believing the hanging of Debeny a disgrace to Illinois Governor Dmne, shortly before the date Scott was scheduled to hang, wired Sheriff White of this county to send him the specific number of persons who would witness the execution.
 Sheriff White replied by stating he would comply with the law which, in this state, allows him sufficient number of deputies to prevent trouble.
 The answer did net satisfy Govern. or Dunne and he reprieved Scott
 The same routine has been gone through five times. Now Scott i'm sists he will never hang.

Governor Dunne insists he never will commute Scotts sentence to life, as the crime was "too rcvolting to be expiated by anything but dcath"
 Governor Dunne is especially antag- onistic to capital punishment and might see Scott still alive when his term expires next March.

Washington, Feb -Confiden-

surances that unresisting liners will
not be attacked without warning,

erations. provided, however, that

The German government will

now is characterized as defensive
armament, really is offensive arma-
ment. when submarines are con-
cerned, and will propose discussion
with the United States of what de-
fensiye armament properly may be.
As none of the British and French
liners now clearing from American
ports carry any guns whatever, such
assurances from Germany will be
in the nature of reassurances for
the safety for the neutrals they car
ry, even under the terms of the new
submarine campaign.

RABBITS ATE ALFALFA AND
HAY DURING COLD WEATHER.

Cottonwood Falls, Feb. 2S.-So
hungry did rabbits become during
the week or ten days that the ice
and snow covered the ground here,
preventing them from securing their
usual food from wheat and alfalfa
fields, that they could be shot by
the dozens as they gathered around
alfalfa stacks at night time to eat
the stacked alfalfa to keep them
from starving.
Many farmers found great holes
eaten in the sides and tops of their
alfalfa stacks where the starving
rabbits fed nightly, as the alfalfa
stacks we're about the only food
supply the rabbits could find un-
covered by the thick coating of ice
and snow.

u. 5. NAVY Bird
AMONG POWERS
United States Has Sought to Keep
Abreast With Germany
ENGLAND AND GERMANY AHEAD
Building Program As Outlined Has
As Chief Purpose to Equal in
Power Great Britain
Naval Force

Washington, Feb. 23-The object
of the building policy formulated in
1903 by the naval general board, il
was disclosed by the house naval
committee, was to keep the United
States ahead of Germany in the
race for national supremacy. The
statement was made by Rear Ad-
miral Charles J. Badger.
Under questioning by Represen-
tative Kelly, Admiral Badger said
the construction of three additional
dreadnaughts and eight battle cruis-
ers would place the navy on a par
with the capital ships of the Ger
man fleet today.
To equal Great Britain's probable
fleet within two years Admiral
Badger said the United States would
be obliged to have total force of
forty dreadnaughts, fifteen battle
twenty-five swift scouting
craft, 200 submarines and $50 de-
stroyers. Such a fleet could not be
built in two years, he added, though
it might be constructed in four.
Regarding the present place of
the United States fleet among the
navies of the world, Admiral Bad
ger said he classed it as third in
power, with France a close
fourth.

that Brand Whitloek, American

the United States, and that Presi-

Such a selection, it is believed
here, would cause a sensation from
