His Execution.

Archie Isaacs, colored murderer of
Miss Dora Eberts, the young white
woman whom he brutality murdered on
the railroad tracks near Odenton on
April 5th, heard his death warrant
read this morning The negro was
told by Sheriff Bells of the action of
Governor Harrington in setting Fri
day, July 18th as the date on which
he will pay the full penalty for his
crime

moved from the immediate neighbor-
hood of John Snowden, convicted of
the Brandon murder, and Henry
Evans, under sentence of death for as
saulting a young colored girl. read
the warrant of the Governor to
Isaacs. The negro while naturally
nervous, bore the ordeal we'll. Sens
ing the purport of what was taking
place the other two condemned men
conducted themselves in markedly diff

own affairs in the cell, but Evans

w., B. & A. SHARES ON
THE UPWARD CLIMB
Active Demand Yesterday. Plans
For The Passenger Rate In
crease Discussed.

An active demand for the shares of
polls common stock carried the price
to 30A in the dealings at the Balti-
more Stock Exchange yesterday. 1t
looked as if some who had been ac-
cumulating the stock below 80 were
willing to accept this price; hence
the advance was halted when the
fraction above this level was reached.
This company is recognized as hold
ing a very strong strategic position
among the local public utilities. 1t has
about all the business it can handle,
with every indication that this will
grow rather than diminish. The latest
policy of applying for an increase in
passenger rates to make these con-
form to those being paid the steam
roads will likely be granted the COM
pany In fact, the Interstate Com
merce Commission, acting for the
Washington end, has already allowed
the increase, and it is said the Mary
land Public Service Commission is
sure to act favorably on the applica-
ton when a hearing is held. This in
crease in the rate, based on the pres
ent passenger traffic volume, is said
to mean a net increase in the COM
pany'erevenues of approximately $780,
600 a year With this added to its al
ready large earnings there is posi-
bility that it's dividend rate of 8 per
cent may be augmented by some extra
payment This is wholly conjecture,
though the friends of the company
say it is quite possible.

DO NOT WANT EVANS
TO HANG FOR CRIME.
Petition Filed With Governor For
Communication Of Death Sen
tence Imposed By Court.

Having disposed of one capital pun
ishment case, when he yesterday sign
ed the death warrant of Archie Isaacs,
after considering it for 43 days, Gov
ernor Harrington has before him still
another Anne Arundel County capital
punishment case that is causing him
some serious thought This is the
case of John Henry Evans, colored,
convicted of criminal offense upon a
young colored girl in the lower part
of the county. Judge Moss, when the
negro had been found guilty by jury,
imposed the death sentence with the
statement from the bench that the
Court intends to protect the honor of
women and girls in Anne Arundel no
matter what their race or color.
However, a petition has been filed
with the Governor asking him to COM
mute the sentence of death to life i'm
prisonment The major contention of
the petitioners for clemency is that
they doubt whether the child was be-
low the age of consent, and further
effort to show that she does not hold
a very good character in her neigh
borhood However, the action of
States Attorney Green in asking the
full penalty and the stand of the Court
in imposing the death penalty had met
with general commentator, and
among the responsible and intelligent
element of the people of the county
was strongly upheld.
