She Urges Jackson to Tell the Truth and Save Her Son. In refusing to commute the sentence of Alonzo Walling, who is to be hanged with Scott Jackson for the murder of Pearl Bryan, Governor Bradley of Kentucky yes- terday wrote the following across the cover of the big record in the case: “The jury were the judges of the credi- bility of t witnesses, and their verdict should not be disturbed unless flagrantiy against the evidence. The circuit and ap- pellate courts have reviewed the case and declined to interfere. I see no reason why 1 should commute the sentence, and there- fore decline to do so.” 2 Yesterday morning at the jail Mrs. Wall- ing, mother of one of the condemned men, suddenly walked over to Scott Jackson and cried: “Save my son! You can do it by telling the truth.” Jackson was startled, but denied that he had concealed anything that he knew. Mrs. Walling persisted that he had not told the truth and that he was dragging her son to the scaffold. Guards interfered and quieted her. She left the jail weeping bitterly ——° © ——_______ REVOKING THE FORESTRY ORDER. Western Senators Ask the President to Recall Forest Reservation Order. Senator Wilson of Washington is trying to secure the revocation of the order of President Cieveland setting apart forest reservations in different states. An opin- ion has been rendered by the assistant at- torney gereral for the Interior Department that President McKinley has the power to declare void an order made by his prede- cessor. A letter has been prepared by Senator Wilson and signéd by himself and by Senators Carter of Montana and Clark of Wyoming, in which the urgent necessity for nullifying the recent order is set forth. These matters will be presented to the President at an early date. President Cleveland’s order was issued on tne recom- mendation of the national forestry com- mission. It covers over 20,000,000 acres. ‘The ground for the demand that the order be revoked is that many settlers are within the reservation and will lose their homes. ————— If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

ROSS AND DODGE FAVORED TH Representative Colored Men Also Strongly Indorse Mr. Ross. OTHER MOVEMENTS Mr. John W. Ross and Mr. W. C. Dodge were selected as the choice for Disirict Commissioners at a conference of citizens of East Washingion, South Washington and the eastern part of the District, held sterday evening at che office of Gen. William Birney. Those present were Dr. G. C. Havenner, representing the Anacos- tia Association: W. J. Frizzell, Northeast Washirgton; W. W. Hall, jr., South Wash- ingten; R. F. Bradbury, Twining City; H 8. Sutton, Langdon; J. M. Wood, Benni y A. E. Randle, Congress Heights; A. R. Serven, North Capitol and Eckington; Wi! lam Birney, East Washington. A com- mittee of fifteen, appointed by Gen. Birney, consisting of J. W. Babson, W. A. Crof- fut, E. H. Tucker, 8. H. Walker, J. D. Croissant, James Martin, W. G. Henderson, C. A. Barker, I. 8. Slater, Henry Barton, T. L. Jeffords, Josiah Millard, J. W. Waielpley, N. G. Ordway and Lorin Chap- pel, and Messrs. James P. Edwards and Michael Brown, Mr. Tracey L. Jeffords presided over the gathering, with W. A. Croffut as secretary. Or. motion of Mr. J. W. Babsen it was de- cided to vete first on the choice for the republican candidate and then on the dem- ocratic. The result of the ballot, which followed, showed that W...C. Dodge re- ceived thirteen votes, Chapin Brown, tiree, and Evan H. Tucker and W. G. Henderson one each. The point was made that Mr. Brown was not an East Washington man, and his name was stricken from the list, and then, by unanimous.consent,Mr. Dodge was agreed upon as the choice for the suc- cession to Commissioner Truesdell. There was considcrable discussion over the propriety uf recommending’two names to the President. It was suggested that East Washington should go to the Presi- dent for one man only, but the democrats present declared that they wanted a dem- rat considered because they had already voted their choice for a republican. Sever- al motions in relation to the matter were disposed of, and then a vote was taken on the choice for a democratic candidate, re- sulting in Mr. Johr. W. Ross reciving thir- teen, Mr. M. I. Weller, one, and Mr. W. A. Richards, three. A m nm was made to make Mr. Ross’ selection unanimous, and after some discussion, in which ex-Gov. G. Ordway paid a tribute to the Com- missioner, this action was taken. General Birney, General Ordway and Mr. Croffut were appointed a committee to draw up a memorial asking for the appointment of Mersrs. Ross and Dodge as Cormunissioners, and to arrange ‘or an interview with Pre: ident McKinley on the suject. Secretary Porter was seen last night by the commit- tee and an interview was arranged for 2:40 o’clcck today. It was decided that the en ure delegation present last night should assemble at Gen. Birney’s office at 2 o'clock and proceed to the White House. Colored Citizens Indorse Mr. Ross. A meeting of colored citizens was held in the office of the Bee yesterday for the pur- pose of considering the District commis- sionership. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee, presided, with Mr. L. H. Peter- son as secretary. Mr. Chase, among other things, said that one of the best friends the Afro-American citizen had on the board of District Com- missioners was Mr. John W. Ross. Addresses were also made by Messrs. Brown, Brooks, Dr. Lee, Attorney Hewlett, and others. Mr. Peterson offered, and the meeting unanimously passed, a preamble and reso- lution, reciting that the term of John W. Ross, as Commissioner of the District of Columbia, had expired, much to the regret of the Afro-American citizens of the Dis- trict of Columbia, who had always held him in high esteem. He had served the people of this city. as Commissioner, and has on all occasions treated the most hum- ble citizen with respect and consideration, not at any time in his official capacity ig- noring the just claims of those in humble positions, and declaring that the colored citizens of Washington, in public meeting assembled, unanimously indorse Mr. Ross for the office of Commissioner of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and respectfully ask President McKinley to nominate him to succeed himself as Commissioner of the District of Columbia. A committee of three, consisting of Dr. Brooks, L. H. Peterson and Mr. Hewlett, was appointed to present the resolutions to the President. Other Candidates. The movement in favor of the retention of Mr. George Truesdell as District Com- missioner is being prosecuted with great energy by the friends of that gentleman, and petitions are being circulated which are receiving a large number of signatures. Mr, W. V. x, president of the Bright- wood Citizens’ Association, is being urged by his friends to become a candidate for the District commissionership now held by Commissioner Ross, and in case the President decides not to reappoint Mr. Ross will be a strongly backed aspirant for the position. Mr. Jesse B. Wilson’s name is also brought forward as a candidate for the democratic commissicnership. Mr. Chapin Brown's friends seem very confident that their candidate will be appointed, but have not relaxed their efforts. Many very strong petitions in his behalf, numerously signed by representative business and pro- fessional men, have been secured. An active campaign is also in progress in behalf of Mr. August Donath, and of Mr. L. M. Saunders. —— SECOND ARMY CORPS. Famous Gathering Last Night Arpu the Banguet Table.

The entertainment given by the Legion of Loyal Women for the benefit of the relief fund at Marble Hall, Soldiers’ Home last night proved a decided success. The spacious hall was crowded with friends frem the city and the vicinity of the home. The program was an unsually good one, numbering in its features the ever pleasing comedian Wm. H. Conley, who favored the ardience with both vocal relections and recitations, and who was heartily applaud- ed on all occasions. The morning and evening camp life presented a realistic rep- resentation of scenes during the late war. The songs in this by Messrs. F. W. Paston, J. A. Rose, Dr. W. W. Pomroy and J. W. Humphrey were well rendered. Another prominent feature was the patriotic drill and tableau, which involved many intricate and difficul: figures, which were executed without a hitch. Those who took part in this were Misses Eva Grossart, Helen Hast- irgs, Clara Quinter, Lucy Smith, Jessie Holden, Ethel Prince, Edith Coe, Carrie Hastings, Marion Parker, Bessie Dyer, Edith Randell, Clara Moran, Mabel Kipp, Marjorie Keefe, Evelyn Hall, Virgie Wag- oner, Maggie Bell, Edith Stanley, Misses Mazie Rose and Ada Lipp. The last num- ber on the program was unique, and called forth mach laughter. This was a looking backward dance by twenty-four ladies and gentlemen, in which it was hard to tell which was the back and which the face of those who took part. ‘The other numbers on the program were a vocal solo by Mrs. Reichenbach and a fancy dance, “Highland Fling,” by Helen Winter, both of which were loudly spplauded. The home band furnished several selections, which were met with the usual appreciation. Com- mander Hopkins of the Department of the Potomac made a few pleasant remarks in compliment to the ladies of the Loyal Le- gicn, and commended the works of charity they have done. At the conclusion of the program the floor was cleared for dancing, in which all participated. There is no doubt that quite a goodly sum was realized, which will help swell the relief fund that assists In making the poor and destitute soldiers enjoy some comforts. >—— Woman's Night at St. Luke's.
