DECLINES TO GRANT STAY TO NIEGENFIND Line Need Be Paying 014 Postofice, is Not Needed Until New One is Done. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 7.—(Special.)—Despon- dent because her writings had been repeat- edly refused by publishers, Mrs. Millicent Lawson, aged 28 years, attempted to end her life late this afternoon by taking a quantity of morphine. Physiclans in at- tendance say that it will be almost im- possible for the woman to recover Mrs. Lawson lived alone 425 South Tenth street snd for several days had been acting strangely. Today the neighbors notified the police. The matron went to the residonce and found Mrs. Lawson in a dying condition. By her side w bottle which had contained morphine and a letter stating that despondency had caused the to take her life. After enumerating the woman closed the ‘I have decided to end letter by saying my life by the morphine route.” Mrs. Lawson had been twice married, bui had separated on each occaslon from her husband. She aspired to be a writer and_some of her writings had been pub- lished, but not emough to satisfy her am- bitions. She left manuscript for a book which she desires published. Mrs. Law- soi’'s maiden name is Morse and she has & sister residing in Omaha. No Stay for Niegen Governor Mickey will not issue an order to stay the execution of Gottlleb Niegen- find, he says, uniess some new and unex- pected development transpires. The gov- ernor says he has been strongly importuned by friends of the condemned man to com- mute his sentence to Iife imprisonment and as strongly ygged by others to enforce the death penalty. The governor says h: called at the penitentiary twice to con- verse with Niegenfind at the latter's re- quest and is satisfled that his murder of his wite was entirely without justification. The governor says he has been asked for his opinion on capital punishment s a principle and asserts his conviction that it is a part of the divine law. He Is op- posed, under general circumstancos, to the practice of ar executive setting aside the utence of a court of justice. Money Not Nee Since congress appropriated money for a new postofice bullding in Lincoln the eity council has been much worried to know if it was the duty of the couacil to raise instanter the $50,000 which {s necessary for_the purchase of the old building by the eity, and if-it was the duty of the council to' do this at once, how to do it. Cou- gréssman Burkett returned from Washing- ton yesterday and since that time las beea plied with many questions on *his, point. ““There’is no provision as to the time at which the city sMall buy the buliding," sald he. “I did not feel like hampering the appropriation for the new bullding in any manner with contirgent provis but by reason of this proposition I was en- abled to have the appropriation for the new building put at ¥350,000 Instead of $300,000, as formerly, mo macter whether the old bullding is sold or not. - The bill authorizes the secretary of the treasury to sell the old bullding to the city for not loss than $50,000. This means, of course, at $50,000. condition was, pretty well nnaemooa by everybody in Washington, and there will be no obstructions placed in the way of the city's acquiring the bullding when it is ready to do so. I think I can Jook after that when the time ¢omes, ‘which will not be until (l. new postoffice s bulit.”” Discusaing the new postoffice building, Mr. Burkett sald that a day or two before he left he had a talk with Supervising Architect Taylor of the Treasury depart- ment, who has the plans in hand, and the latter assured him that every means would be taken to rush them through, wo that bids may be asked for as soon as possible. According to the information imparted by Mr. Taylor, the basis of the new plans will be the one drawn up for the rebuliding of the present structuie before its sale had been decided upon. These plans will be modified as far as possible to conform to the suggested changes made by the offi- clals now In the bulldi These sugges tions were made at the request of the Washington officlals from the rough draft Taylor informed Mr. as it is shought possible from the point_ of the architect, the modifications asked for will be made. The new bullding will be erected on part of the postoffice square. Increase in Engincers’ Pay.
