P | GOVERNOR JOHNSON GIVES INTERVIEW AS TO HANGING Continued from First Page R i B called ‘boxcar’ murderer. The second time was for the hanging of Gottschalk—who, by the way, com- mitted suicide in the Ramsey county jail—and the third time was for the Williams hanging by Sheriff Miesen in Ramsey county. These were all during my first term of office. Now comes the hanging of the two men at Bemidji. I don’t feel any worse or any better about the signing of the last death warrants than I did about the first. 1 feel that I have no option in the matter. ~ That the law has already taken its course and that certainly I am not to blame for the law just because my personal opinions are diametrically opposed toit. If I refused to set dates for hangings of men convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death, I would be violating the law myself. “I feel strongly, however, and have for years”—and here the gov- ernor’s fist came down with an energetic thump on the table at his side—"‘that capital punishment is one of the things handed down to this day from an age of the dim and misty past. There is no moral excuse, to my mind, for a handful of men to bind and blindfold a fellowman, to fasten a strap around his neck, and then in cold blood to let him drop through a trap to his death—all just because of a few words printed on the white page of a law book says they shall. “It is not right. It is the hand- ing down of the ancient Hebraic law of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—aye, of evena soul fora soul, It was by such unreasoning, unforgiving Hebraic law that Christ was crucified! “The time is surely coming when the law which inflicts the death penalty for crime will be wiped from the statute books. It is there on the statute books today, butl do not believe the people of Minne- sota believe init. It isan effect for judging to administer to degen- erate men who deliberately take the lives of fellowmen, but it is not still operative through any general sentiment in its favor, “Do I believe in the death penalty? No! Do I think that a man should ever be hung under any circum- stances? No!”—and once more the clenched fist came down on the table—"And you can tell the readers of The Tribune that if I were in the legislature, I would do what I could and what was within my power to modify the existing law. “In days gone by hundreds of morbidminded people have been allowed to witness hangings. This has been so repulsive to me, that since I have been governor I have endeavored to have only those few present the law allows, and no more, Ishall see to it that the sheriff at Bemidji is notified that if any of the morbidly curious who have no business to be present are allowed to see the hanging of the two misfortunate and condemned men in his hands,he will be removed from office.” Turning to Harvey Grimmer, his executive clerk who was present, he remarked. “Mr. Grimmer, please remind me in communicating with the sheriff at at Bemidji relative to these hang- penalty for hid wion-compliance with it quoted in th.e letter of | instruc- tion to him.” ’ ¢ New Office for G. E. Crocker. G. E. Crocker, of the Grand Forks Lumber company is now nicely housed in his new office, near the M. & 1. depot, and will this winter have comfortable quarters in which to transact the large amount of busi- ness for the company, over which he has supervision. Recently, the Grand Forks com- pany securedground along the tracks of the M. & I,and Mr. Crocker had a neat building erected to be used for warehouse amd office pur- poses. Mr. Crocker has secured the ser- vices of Harry Bliler, who has charge of the office while Mr. Crocker is away. Messrs. Crocker and Bliler make a fine double team, and they transact business for the Grand Forks people with ‘“neatness and dispatch,” their only drawback being the reluctance of their lumber- jacks to cut loose from the attrac- tions of the city and hie them to the “tall timber” for manual labor. Solon Finley, ‘““Out West.” S. W. Finley (better known to his friends as Solon Finley), who left here last spring for Kalispell, Mont., has been heard from. Solon is now at Athens, Mont., where he has an important position with the Kalispell Lumber company. In a letter to the Pioneer Mr. Finley said: “Mr. A. G. Rutledge, Bemidji, Minn. “Friend Mr. Rutledge: Ithought I would drop you a few lines with regard to the address of my paper. Please send it to Athens, Mont, care of Kalispell Lumber company, instead of to Kalispell, Mont. We are having lovely weather here and I am feeling the very best. Hope you are enjoying yourself, also. I like your paper fine. *‘Give my regards to all the boys and GIRLS. *“Very respectfully yours, “S. W. Finley.” Attention, K. of P.’s. All members of Bemidji Lodge, Knights of Pythias, are urgently requested to be present at the regu- lar meeting of the lodge, which will be held next Tuesday even- ing. d ' The third rank will be conferred on three candidates, and the busi- ness meeting will be followed by a social session, at which a lunch will be served.

SITUATION 5 BETTER Financial Conditions in New York Continue to Improve, HEAVY GOLD IMPORTATIONS ot Engagements Already Made Aggre- gate $17,500,000 and Have Had a Very Helpful Influence—Pressure on the Banks Distinctly Abating. | New York, Oct. 29.—The financial aituation continues to show encourag- Ing evidence of improvement, as ex- ceptionally large engagements of gold have been made abroad and the stock market is advancing on the general demand for securities at low prices. The gold engagements now total $17,- 500,000 and already exert a very help- tul influence. There are considerable orders from abroad for American se. curities, which must be paid for in gold, and this will augment the specie imports, Investigation also discloses an exceptionally large number of transfers of stocks upon the books of the various corporations having head- quarters in New York, indicating heavy investment buving. There are practically mo margin transactions on the stock exchange at this time, No failures have been re- ported anywhere in New York and even in the case of the Kansas City Institution which closed its doors it was forced to close only because it was refused admittance to the priv- {leges of the clearinghouse remedial efforts in that city. The pressure upon the banks in New York is distinctly abating. No new runs have been reported and those begun last week have dwindled to almost insignificant proportions. ‘Wall street has assumed practically {ts normal appearance, the crowds be- ing no larger than in the days of financial quietude. The adoption of clearinghouse certificates and the re- fusal to pay cash for hoarding pur- poses has produced no apparent ex- citement whatever in this city. In order to assist in the measures undertaken to relieve the strain on the currency situation the leading life insurance companies have decided to grant thirty days’ extension of time on the payment of premiums due on policies, NOT GIVEN ACTUAL CASH. Chicago Depositors Paid by Check on Withdrawal. Chicago, Oct. 29.—The banks of this city are largely upon a checking basis. They have taken the step of refusing to pay out large amounts of currency and will not return to the former man. ner of doing business until the finan- clal condition in the East improves. In all banks belonging to the Clearing- house association or affiliated with it depositors seeking to withdraw money were given checks of the bank itself instead of the actual cash. The de- positors are allowed,to draw the full amount of their balances, but they were compelled to accept the bank’s checks instead of currency. The rule requiring savings bank de- positors to give thirty days’ notice be- fore drawing out less than $100 and sixty days’ notice before drawing out more than $100 was also put in force. The local banks declare that they were compelled to adopt these rules because of the action taken by the banks in the East, which would soon have drained this city of its cash re- sources, ‘Within an hour after the opening of the doors fully 400 people were lined up at the withdrawal windows of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, which has the largest number of sav- ings accounts in the city. Depositors were allowed, if they wished, to take out sums under $100, but for all amounts over this the full legal no. tice was required. The general agreement on the part of the banks to protect their supplies of currency affected the city govern- ment, City Treasurer Traeger ran short of cash and City Comptroller ‘Wilson stopped the payment of the salaries of city employes by checks on the city treasury. BY ORDER OF GOVERNOR. All National Banks in Oklahoma Re- main Closed, Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 29.— BEvery bank in Oklahoma City remains tlosed in accordance with orders is- sued by Territorial Governor Frank Frantz. It is understood that the or- der affects all national banks in Okla- homa and Indian Territory. The action was taken because the banks of Kansas City and St. Louis refused to forward cash to the banks of the Southwest. It is said that a telephone consultation of many of the bankers of Oklahoma, Indian Terri- tory, Arkansas and Northern Texas took place and that all decided on sim. ilar action. - There has been no uneasiness in this city and the bankers say the de- posits last week were greater than at any previous week in the month, The qlosipg 18 for the purpose of protec- tfon In case of a rud. Since the banks here could not get cash from Kansas City In case of a run they considered the risk too great, The banks of this city are carrylng many of the small banks over this territory. They have arranged to issue clearinghouse cer tificates until conditions improve. The banks of t)ie Southwest are fur. ther embarrassed because of the de mand for cash to move the cotton crop. CASHIER KILLS HIMSELF. Dollar Savings Bank at Akron, 0, Or- dered Closed. Akron, 0., Oct. 20.—The Dollar Sav- ings bank has been closed by order of the directors until after the funeral of Mr. Boron, the dead cashier, In the meantime a further Investigation of his accounts is going on and a movement is also on foot to have the other banks of the city take this in- stitution over, The sixty-day time Hmit has been ordered enforced on all savings accounts jn the banks of the city. Coroner Davidson announced that he had decided that Fred Boron had ecommitted suicide, there being noth- ing to substantiate the murder theory, The revolver used was one kept at the Dollar Savings bank, of which Boron was cashier and treasurer, and the weapon was lying by his side when he was found. A deficit of $25,000 has been discov- ered in the agcounts of the Dollar | bank, accordi to members of the directorate. This fact was kept hid- | den from the directors, it is said, by Boron borrowing money temporarily Wwhenever the directors counted the money, while at other times he car- rled the notes as cash. MINNESOTA BANKERS ACT Measures Taken to Prevent a Drain of Cash, Minneapolis, Oct. 29.—Bankers from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth at a meeting held here took measures to prevent a drain of cash. In view of the action of the banks In the central reserve cities of New York, Chicago and St. Louis in refus- ing to ship money to them it was de- clded that no money should be paid out on checks, certificates of deposit or drafts, except for small sums, and no money should be furnished corre- spondents. Checks on balances in the hands of the banks will be certified and paid through their clearinghouses only. Savings banks, trust companies and the savings departments of banks will require the sixty and ninety-day no- tice to which they are entitled. EXCHANGE STILL CLOSED. Only Evidence of Financial Flurry at| Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Oct. 29.—It was decided not to open the Pittsburg Stock Ex- change at a meeting of the board of directers. Just when the exchange will resume transactions is not known, It is the Dbelief in some quarters that the exchange will remain closed throughout the week. Aside from the suspension of the exchange there is nothing else worthy of mention in the local financial sit- uation. Controlled by C. W. Morse, Path, Me,, Oct. 29.—The Bath Trust | company, a small bank controlled by | Charles W. Morse of New York, closed its doors as the result of withdrawal of deposits. State Bank Examiner Skelton immediately took charge. President W. B. Maussendon stated that the suspension of business was due to lack of currency. Thé capital 1s $100,000 and deposits $500,000. Omaha Banks Get In Line. Omaha, Oct. 29.—All national banks | in Omaha have ceased paying cur- rency in more than $100 amounts and on small accounts only 20 per cent of the amount on deposit will be paid. For amounts above 20 per cent of de- posits clearinghouse certificates are issued. SPANIARD’S WEIRD TALE. Thousands of H.s Countrymen Prison- ers in Philippines. Madrid, Oct. 29.—A Spaniard named Bulguera, a recent arrival from Ma- nila, has caused some excitement here by a story to the effect that there are more than 4,000 Spanish prisoners in Bulacan province, island of San Juan del Monte. They are held by Tagalos, They are whipped and treated like beasts of burden and the only reward they get is a scanty ration of green corn. Bulguera has related his story to a correspondent of El Pueblo and he says that in June last ninety Spanish prisoners tried to escape by swim- ming. Practically all were drowned, he says, but he succeeded in landing on the opposite bank and was subse- quently able to reach Manila. Then he went to the American authorities, who provided him with passage for Cadiz. He reached that port in Sep- tember, but was only le to reach his native town a few "days since, where he had long been given up for dead. Story Doubted at Washington. ‘Washington, Oct. 29.—The bureau of insular affairs at the war depart- ment places no credence In the story of Bulguera, the Spaniard, who al: leges he was held a prisoner by Fili- pinos in Bulacan province. San Juan del Monte, which Bulguera refers to as an island, is not an island but a mountain ecity on the border of Ma- nila. From the time Manila was taken by American troops San Juan del Monte has been within the American defenses. Admit Charges Are True. Chicago, Oct. 29.—W. H. E. Dysen and his wife, who were arrested re- cently in New York on the charge of robbing department stores, confessed to the local police that the charges against him were true and informed the officers where the property which they had stolen could be recovered, In a house at 338 Ohio street the po- lice discovered jewelry valued at $2,- 000, which the Dysens said had heen taken from various stores here and in Milwaukee, ‘who compel them to drag their plows. | BIG SLUMP IN WHEAT Drop of Four Cents in Price on the Chicago Board. OTHER - GRAINS AFFECTED Financlal Conditions at New York and Precautionary Action Taken by Chi- cago Banks Responsible for the Fall In Values. Chicago, Oct. 29.—The financial con- dition in New York and the action of the local banks in deciding to issue clearinghouse certificates and to de- mand full legal notice on withdrawal of time deposits caused a weak mar- ket in all of' the grain pits. Wheat Within a short time after the opening struck a point 4 cents lower than the previous day’s close. The opening for December wheat was 97% to 98 and from this point the price slid down to-96. At 10:30 it was holding around 97. The selling was in quite large volume, but the demand was slack and buyers were to all appearances extremely reluctant to take hold. Brief rallies took place after the breaks, but the principal buyers were shorts. There was little buying for investment end the refusal of the banks to pay out large amounts of cash limited the opportunities of prospective purchas- ers to put up the margins demanded by the brokers, Both corn and oats were weak for the same reasons as affected the wheat market. Trading in Grain Suspended. Duluth, Oct. 29.—Trading in grain has been suspended on the Duluth board of trade owing to the money conditions. No sales were made in either cash grain or the options, 8 though the tradingroom was open and the members on the floor. Business will not be resumed until conditions Improve and the country elevators are being advised not to buy grain. MARKET CLOSES WEAK. Early Prices on Stock Exchange Showed an Advance. New York, Oct. 29.—The stock mar- ket had a strong opening, all the prin- cipal active stocks selling at sharp advances, but with very light transac- tions recorded. The greater advances were in Sugar, Northern Pacific, Amer- fean Smelting, Westinghouse Electric, Toledo, St. Louis and Western pre- ferred, Amalgamated Copper and Chi- cago Great Western preferred A. Some of the stocks in the active class sold at declines. Business came al- most to a standstill after a few min- utes, but the marlket retained a steady tone. i Additions to the sharp advances were made when more stocks came into the quotations, but the general level of the active list did not extend its advance. St. Louis Southwestern preferred rose 4%, Illinois Central and Consolidated Gas 3, Great North- ern Ore Certificates and Manhattan 2% and National Lead and General Electric 2. There were occasional de- clines on single sales in the inactive list. The market was inactive. Prices of stocks sagged somewhat when it became understood that the banks would deal directly with stock exchange borrowers instead of through a pool, as was the case last week. Money on call, after opening at 12 per cent, loaned at 50 per cent and there was some calling of loans. The readjustment of loans necessi- To the questions, “What sort of peo- ple live on Mars; are they small, to compare with the size of the plnnat?J Huve they larger heads, making room for their high Intellect?

The constitution is typewritten on | parchment and does not contain the election ordinances. The president will go over the instrument with the attorney general carefully.

The issuance of the proclamation Saturday, Nov. 18, will immediately | start the machinery of Oklahoma as & state, tated by the dissolution of the bank- ers’ pool caused some awkward con- ditions and induced some liquidation in the stock market during the final hour of trading. Prices fell back all around. Any disposition to assume money obligations for the purpose of operat- ing in the stock market was frowned upon and business in the stock ex- change was kept at a low ebb. The delay in the appearance of supplies of money there caused no anxiety, as intimations were given that loans would be carried over another day and money would be supplied when needed most. Prices continued to show advances. SOLELY AS A PRECAUTION Boston Clearinghouse to lIssue Loan Certificates. Boston, Oct. 29.—The Boston Clear- Inghouse association “has decided to fssue clearinghouse loan certificates bearing interest at 7.3 per cent. The high rate of interest is for the pur- pose of retiring the certificates at the earliest possible date. The New York rate is 6 per cent, The loan commit- tee of the clearinghouse will pass upon collateral and approve the issue of the certificates at 75 per cent of the mar- ket value of the securities. Leading bank officials declared that the adoption of the clearinghouse cer- tificates for the settlement of bank balances was solely as a precaution against the withdrawal of money by persons desiring to hoard it or to take advantage of high currency rates in other cities. Suspension at Kansas City. Kansas City, Oct. 29.—The Bank- ers’ Trust company, with deposits of $800,000, closed at 10:156 a. m. Cash- jer J. C.
