District Control Over Anthracite Sales Continues The Public Utilities Commission will continue to regulate the de- livery of hard coal to households indefinitely, Eng! r Commissio: er Keller, chairman of the commis- sion, announced today. Col, Keller made the statement following a board meeting of the Commissioner which was attend- ed by a committee of coal dealers. It is believed that the commission was considering the possibility of dropping control over anthracite, but” the exchange of views with the coal men apparently led them to conclude that conditlons are not yet ripe for such action. PREPARE T HANG SHANDS FRIDAY Appeal Involving Question of Legal Executioner Leaves Doubt in Proceedings. Ernest Shands, colored, is scheduled to be hanged at the District jail, Fri- day, February 23, for the murder of his wife, Catherine, whom he attack- ed with a hatchet at her home, Sep- tember 18 last. The clerk of the court has forwarded to Maj. Peake, superin- tendent of the jail the death warrant authorizing and directing the execu- tion of Shands, which concludes with these words, “which fail not to do at your peril.” ‘The question is being asked about the courthouse today “Will Shands be executed Friday?’ The reason for the doubt is that no person has been 1 hanged at the District jall since At- torney James A. O'Shea, representing. Charles Price, raised the point that there is no properly constituted hang- man in the District since the office of warden of the jail was abolished. Counsel for Price sued out a writ of habeas corpus, but the District Supreme Court upheld the right of the superintendent of the Washington asylum and jail to perform the duties of the warden. O'Shea noted an ap- peal to the Court of Appeals and the matter was argued there last month and is under consideration by that tribunal. Will Maj. Peake want to wait until his authority is afirmed by the Court of Appeals or will he be satisfied to rely on the death warrant, which commands him, in the name of the dent of the United States, to carry out the court's order directing the “death of Shands? The future will tell. DIES AT AGE OF 79. s. Catherine Eskridge Hayes Mr Widow of J. W. Hayes.
