THOMAS MALOY, —Vity Clerk, Attest: e HANGED AT SAMETIME Triple Execution Takes Place at Jefferson City, Mo. CONVICTS GUILTY-OF MURDER Condemned Men Attempted to Escape From Penitentiary and Two Guards and a Prisoner Were Shot Dead During Désperate Battle. Jefferson City, Mo., June 28.—Harry Vaughan and Edward Raymond, con- victs sentenced to the penitentiary from St. Louis, and George Ryan, a convict sentenced from Kansas City, were hanged in the county jail here for the killing of Prison Guard John Clay during a concerted attempt to escape from the penitentiary. The three were hanged at the same moment. ~Sheriff Scott™ sprung the trap and a few minutes later all three were pronounced dead. No statement ‘was made from the scaffold. The execution of Convicts Harry Vaughan, George Ryan and Edward Raymond is the final result of a des- Derate attempt which they made on the afternoon of Nov. 24, 1905, to es- cape from the penitentiary. In the fight over their effort to get away two prison guards, John Clay and E. Alli- son, and Convict Edmond Blake were shot’ dead. After two trials the three men were convicted of the murder of Guard Clay and sentenced to be hanged. A verdict of conviction was rendered in the first trial, but the su- preme court ordered a new trial. NO INDICTMENTS RETURNED Grand Jury and Minneapolis Ice Trust Investigation. Minneapolis, June 28.—The Henne- pin county grand jury has refused to return indictments against those ice companies operating in Minneapolis which it was charged constituted a trust as being in restraint of trade. The vote on the question of indicting stood 9 to 9 and this disposes of the matter for the present. The point raised by one member of the grand jury who voted against the motion to indict, according to the at- torney general’s department, was that if the forming of combinations to con- trol products and prices was criminal then indictments would have to be returned against many leading busi: ness men in Minneapolis. He did not think it good business policy to start any trouble. Thovgh Attorney General Young and his_assistants refuse to discuss the matter it is understood that the proceedings against the companies are not to be dropped by any means. A civil action may now result in which an attempt will be made to revoke the charters of the companies. GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT Verdict in Case of St. Paul Theater Treasurer. St. Paul, June 28.—After being out nearly forty-eight hours the jury in the case of Harry E. Ricker, former treasurer of the Metropolitan Opera House, returned a verdict of guilty on the charge of embezzling $3,035 be- longing to the theater company. Ac- companying the verdict of the jury was a strong plea for clemency in favor of the convicted man. The state produced the books of the theater in evidence and attempted to show that there had been sys- tematic juggling with the bank ac- count in order to conceal a deficit which steadily grew In size between March 23 and April 27. Ricker’s defense was that two men held him up and took the money from him at the door of Manager Scott’s office just as he was entering to place the money in the vault. DENIES ALL THE CHARGES Defendant Holmes on Stand In Cotton Leak Case. Washington, June 28.—Former As- soclate Statistician Holmes continued hig testimony in his trial on the charge of giving out secret crop information. He sald that before-this trial he had known nothing of the letters said to have been written by Peckham to Van Riper and denied the "authorship of letters attributed to him. He also de- clared that he had never agreed to furnish Broker Price any advance in- formation concerning the cotton crop report and that he had never supplied him with any facts éxcept in an off- clal way. He made the same denial with reference to Van Riper, Haas and Peckham. He declared to be “absolntely false” all of Van Riper’s statements concern- ing his alleged agreement to supply information to the New Yorker. BY DECISIVE MAIORITY, Two-Cent Fare Bill Killed by Wiscon. sin Senate. Madison, Wis., June 28.—The sen- ate, by a vote of 5 to 21, killed the 2- cent railway fare bill. After a warm debate the senate killed the bill which passed the as- rembly providing that the names of the two leading candidates for United Btates senator at the primary election shall be placed on the party ballot at the general election and in case there is no candidate with a majority the leading candidate at the general elec- tion to be the candidate of his party at its legislative caucus. FREIGHT RATE CONTEST. Spokane (Wagh.) .Case Argued Befors Interstate Commission. ‘Washington, June 28.—A freight rate contest between Spoksne, Wash., and ofhier cltfes of the Northwest 18 being threshed out before ‘the inter- state commerce commission, .Argu- ments began during the day before that body in what is known as the “Spokane case,” an action of the city of Spokane agalnst the Northern Pa- cific, the Great Northern, the Union Pacific, the Oregon Railroad and Nayi- gation company and the Spokane Falls and Northern rallway. S It was alleged by the complainant that the defendant lines charge on various kinds of freight traffic rates to Spokane equal to the rates charged from Eastern points to Seattle, Ta- coma or Portland, plus)the local rates from those cities to Spokane, al- though Spokane is much nearer to the points of origin of the freight than are the other cities and in many in- stances the freight has to pass through Spokane to reach the other cities be- fore it 18 shipped back. The claim is set up that the rates are unjust, exces- slve and discriminatory to the mer- chants and shippers of Spokane, It 1s likely that the arguments in the case will consume two days. HOPEFUL ‘OF FINAL VICTORY Telegraphers Expect to Win Strike at 8an Francisco. San Francisco, June 28.—A hopeful sentiment prevails at the headquar- ters of the striking commercial teleg- raphers and the rank and file of the union as well as the executive officers are unanimous in declaring full faith In ultimate victory. The men, assert that the telegraph companies are still badly crippled; that every makeshift is being adopted to care for the most important business and that hundreds of messages are piling up daily at the filing offices. i President Small of the union denfes that telegraphers in Chicago and other cities are to be called out. He says if it 18 necessary to call out the men at other points no hint of such inten- tion will be given until the order call- ing the men out is actually transmit- ted. Officlals of the Western Union and Postal companies claim that they are not behind in their work and there is no delay in getting their business on the wires. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. The Schenectady (N.

Nt Milwaukee, June 28.—The Evening ‘Wisconsin says: If plans” which have been quietly under way for some time past are ma- tured either at a meeting now being held in Milwaukee or at subsequent meetings the manufacturers of print and other classes of paper in Wiscon- sin, embracing in all some twenty-five large mills, will shortly form one of the largest owning and operating pa- ver manufacturing syndicates in the country. While this point is admitted by parties directly interested in the movement the statement is also made that, up to the present time, there is nothing definite or certaln as to the ultlmate formation of this concern. All depends, the manufacturers say, upon further plans, a mutual agreement as to_values of plants-to be interested WISGORSIY PAPER MILLS, and other featiires which have not yet been threshed out. “If the owning company is organ- ized along lines now being considered It will be a manufacturing and owning company much after the style and character of the International Harves- ter company and will in nowise be in opposition to the federal anti-trust or Shermar. law and will not be a ‘sales combination,” as- the late General Pa- per company was considered and ‘which company surrendered its char- ter some time ago because of federal objection to the company,” declared a former officer of the General Paper company.
