THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1906. 3 HE DIES THE DEATH Electric Shock Ends Life of Tucker, Murderer. FINAL APPEALS PROVE VAIN Governor Refuses to Interfere, and President, When Appealed To, Approves His Action Story of Mabel Page's Death. BOSTON. June 12. Charles L. Tucker was electrocuted at 12:13 o'clock this morning lor the murder of Mabel Page. He was officially pro nounced dead by the prison doctor at 12:19. Three applications of the cur rent were made. When Tucker arrived in front or. the death chair he drew from his trousers pocket a brief statement, which he read. The statement was: I hope that God will forgive me for all the wrongs I have ever done in my past life. I forgive everybody who has wronged me. I am at peace with my Maker. May God have mercy on my soul." Tucker then sat down in the chair, and after the guards had adjusted the straps the warden raised his hand as a signal to the electrician. Three Shocks Finish Him. Aftjr the first application of elec tricity Dr. Joseph McLaughlin. the prison sureon, made an examination and announced that the pulse was still beating. After the current had been applied a second time the surgeon de tected a movement of the heart, but when the current was applied a third time Tucker was pronounced dead. This announcement was made at 12:19 o'clock. The surgeon stated that Tucker was unconscious from the moment the first hock was applied. One more effort was made today to prolong the life of Tucker through executive clemency, but after hearing the appeal of his clergyman as well as his counsel Governor Guild tonight again declined to Interfere with the execution of the sentence. After baptizing Tucker in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Thomas W. Bishop, a former pas tor of the church at which Tucker was once an attendant and his spiritual adviser, convinced by his protestations of innocence, sought an interview with the Governor and was closeted with . him for an hour, but the executive de clined to interfere in any way. Roosevelt Refuses to Meddle. One of the Incidents of the day was a telegram received at the State House by the Governor from President Roose velt In regard to the case. It ap peared that some of those who par ticipated in the Fanueil Hall meeting on Saturday night sent a telegram to the President asking him to interfere in Tucker's behalf. The President's telegram to the Governor, In which he commended the Massachusetts execu tive's action last week, was as follows: Have been requested on behalf of certain parties In Boston to interfere with the exe cution of Tucker, it being alleged that it Is my duty so to do. inasmuch as 1 have the power under the Federal laws. No showing has been made to me that 1 have such power, but without regard to this I desire to state to you that in my judg ment your decision not to Interfere with the carrying out of the sentence of Tucker seems to me entirely sound and commands my hearty sympathy. It seems particularly a case in which there should be no Inter ference with the carrying out of the sen tence. Long Struggle to Save Him. The electrocution of Tucker- marked the final chapter in the history of the murder of Mabel Page at heY home in Weston. March 31, 1904, and also marked the close of the most desperate legal bat tle ever waged in Massachusetts for the life of a convicted murderer. Tucker's case was taken through the legal wind ings until It received a hearing In the Supreme Court of the United States. A decision by that court sustaining the ruling of the lower courts did not dis courage Tucker's lawyers. A petition to the Governor was prepared and circulat ed throughout the state. In a short time there were over 116,000 names attached to it. The attorneys for the prisoner went before the Governor not only with new evidence, but with a general plea for executive clemency and with affidavits, but they were not successful. Crime and -Its Detection. Mabel Page was murdered at her fath er's home in Weston on March 31, 1D04. Her body was found several hours later by her aged! father. On a near-by table was found a note, supposed to have been written by Miss Page, stating that she had been called to Boston because of the illness of her brother. It later developed that her brother Harold was not ill and the handwriting on the note and a postal card which was also found in the house figured In the trial, the Government con tending that the handwriting as shown on the postal card was identical with the specimens of Tucker's handwriting. The police learned that Charles L. Tucker, an Auburndale young man of roving habits, had been seen near the Page house on the day of the murder. They found Tucker, and. on taking him to a police station, questioned him, but released him. About three weeks after ward the officers searched Tucker's home. There, in an old coat, they found a broken knife-blade stained and scarred, the scars Indicating that an effort had been made to destroy It by means of a file. A stickpin of peculiar design was also found, which was similar to one that Mabel Page had owned. Indictment for murder In the first degree followed. The evidence at the trial was largely cir cumstantial, and counsel for the defense produced- witnesses, and maps to prove. an alibi. Since Tucker's trial and conviction, Ed win Page, the father- of the murdered girl, has died, as has Professor E. S. . Wood, of Harvard University, who was the expert analyst for the prosecution.

Grand Jury Asked to Bring Indict- mcnts Against Every Man Who Has Introduced Liquor. LEWISTON, Idaho. June 11. (Special.) The United States Government has made public the announcementxthat It will ask the grand Jury to return Indictments against all liquor-sellers on what is known as the Nez Perce Indian reservation. This information was made public today by Assistant United States Attorney Miles S. Johnson, of this district, who received a copy of the Instructions sent to United States Attorney N. K. Rulck, of Boise, from Attorney-General Moody. Mr. Rulck announced that his instruc tions leave him no discretion In the mat ter, and at the convening of the next grand Jury at Moscow the case of every man who had Introduced liquor into the reservation or who had sold or disposed of the same to Nez Perce allottees would, so far as proof could be procured, be pre sented to the grand Jury and Indictments found. This decision will affect 25 saloon keepers now doing business on the reser vation. AVOID ISLAND SERVICE. Americans Unwilling to Serve in Philippines. MANILA, June 11. "The average Eu ropean Is content to live and die east of Suez: the average American is not, al though under Improved conditions he might be prevailed upon to do so." Thus begins the annual report of Ex ecutive Secretary A. W. Ferguson to Governor-General Ide. Mr. Ferguson says that conditions have not improved to a great extent during the past year, and the Executive Bureau Is having trouble in securing Americans who will remain in the service. The grade of men coming from the United States Is below that of the standard of the clerical forces sent here several years ago. Although the Executive Bureau has been established four years, the office force of 137 persons Includes only five Americans. The Fili pino members are the original personnel of the office. Mr. Ferguson says: The great stumbling block is that few Americans Intend to make the Philippine their home or stay on the island for an extended period. This condition can be overcome by making Philippine appointments a permanent means of livelihood by providing an effective system of transfer to the Federal service after a reasonable period of service here. It la believed that, if the conditions In respect to transfers are arranged as suggested, there will be no difficulty in securing Americans well qualified for the ordinary duties performed in the higher grades of the service. It Is be lieved to be useless to try to influence men to come out here unless something permanent Is ottered them at the expiration of a reason able time. Philippine Schools Open. MANILA, June 11. The public schools opened today throughout the islands. It Is estimated that half a million pupils attended, though the accommodations are limited to about 400,000. Governor Ide dedicated the new High School at Lu cena, Provlnde of Tayabas. He delivered a short address, advising the people to educate their children. He said that the future of the islands depends on the way the rising generation meets its responsi bilities, and that education best fitted them for the duties they will be called on to assume. Demand Expulsion of Friars. MANILA, June 11. There was a nemon stration of the people of Lucena, Province of Tayabaa, against the Capuchin Mon astery last night. Governor Ide, who ar rived at Lucena today, was met by a dele gation of the populace, who presented a petition asking for the expulsion of three Capuchin friars from Sarlaya. The peo ple reminded the Governor of the promise of former executives to cause the with drawals of friars from the islands, and declared that the promises of Americans were not kept. Governor Ide ordered that the friars be protected, and promised to consider the petition. ' Fusillade at Idle Coal Mine. DILLONVALE, O., June 1L An at tack, presumably by strikers, was made early today on the checkhouse of the M. A. Hanna Coal Company at Dil lonvale, when 50 shots were fired from a hill 200 feet distant. There were four watchmen in the building, but no one was Injured. Officials of the company who were holding a confer ence with Mayor Eberle at the. time of the attack organized a party and went to the mine to protect their property. Not a shot was fired by the company men. Not one person responded to the blast of the whistle today notifying the strik ers to return to work. The miners are firm in their refusal to accept anything but the 1903 scale. Rheumatism. , Why sufrer'from this painful malady?

CITY BONDS AS SECURITY Will Ask Shaw to Deposit $14,000, 000 In. Banks for Municipal Buildings Proposed Loan to Homebuilders. WASHINGTON, Juno 1L The Califor nia committee which is to enlist the aid of the National Government toward the rehabilitation of San Francisco arrived here today. It 19 composed of Judge Morrow, Thomas Magee, Franklin K. Lane, Dr. Edward Devine, of the Red Cross, W. J. Bartnett and F. M. Willis. They were visited toniglit by various members of the California delegation in Congress and their plans, which will be presented to Congress and to the Secre tary of the Treasury, were talked over informally. Tomorrow morning there will be a meeting with the entire Cali fornia delegation in the House and the Senate, where the various measures for relief suggested will be considered. The city of San Francisco has J14.000, 000 unissued 3Vi per cent bonds. It is pro posed by the visiting committee that they be made receivable for national bank deposits by the General Government, In which case they are to be sold by the city at par. Authority is vested in the Secretary of the Treasry to accept mu nicipal securities under certain condi tions as national bank deposits, and the committee will confer with Secretary Shaw with a view of having the unissued bonds made receivable for such deposits. If this plan is successful, the money realized from the sale of the bonds will. Judge Morrow said, be used to start in motion the rehabilitation of the city gov ernment, viz. the construction of muni cipal buildings, schoolhouses and other necessary buildings. The other proposition which the com mittee has in view and which will re quire the action of Congress is the loan of tlO.000,000 to the National Red Cross Society for use in loaning to those persons whose homes have been destroyed for the purpose of reconstructing- them. Judge Morrow said there are over 40,003 people homeless in San Francisco, living in tents or temporary structures, and 100.000 In adjoining towns who are being- tem porarily provided for. Numbers of them own lots in the city of San Fran cisco, but having lost everything in the earthquake and the Are following, iiave not a cent to rebuild. It is proposed to loan to such per sona money for that purpose at a small rate of interest, the entire loan to be repaid to the National Government. The loan proposition. Judge Morrow said, is a suggestion of the financiers of the city and will be urged because the savings banks have as a rule loaned all their available funds. It is de sirable, he said, that the class af citi zens referred to shall remain in San Francisco and not drift away to other cities and, if they are to do so, they must be given some assistance with which to reconstruct their homes.

These three companies not only refused to come into the scheme, but declared that such methods would eventually dis credit insurance underwriting on the Pa cific Coast, and that such a policy would prove more expensive to the companies than if they should pay the full insur ance risks. Another reason advanced for not going into the scheme of a 25 per cent cut was that there are earthquake clauses of which many of the companies can take legal advantage without dis credit to themselves. HONEYCOMB OF SEDITION New, Arrivals From Guatemala Find Treason and Spies Everywhere. MEXICO CITY, June 11. Several Amer icans and Germans arrived In this city from Guatemala via Santa Cruz and the Tehuantepec Railway. They left San Jose de Guatemala June 4 and were not in possession of the late news from the scene of the revolutionary operations, but are able to throw light on the conditions in that country. Leopold Fitchner, a German planter in Guatemala, says Pres ident Cabrera is a good ruler and should he be successful in suppressing the pres ent revolution, would become wise and generous in his policy of opening up the country to settlement by foreigners, but for the present he is unable to do so, as he is surrounded by enemies and the country is honeycombed by sedition. The Government may have to levy forced loans to carry on the war. The papers in Guatemala were not publishing war news and only bulletins were issued, chiefly thanking the people for their loy alty to the Government. The country Is filled with spies and nobody dares discuss politics. The people favorable to the revolution and familiar with the ultimate projects of its leaders assert that the purpose of the movement is to do away with graft and oppressive taxation and introduce new methods. Foreigners and foreign cap ital will be asked to come into Guatemala and do for it what has been accom plished in Mexico. TOLEDO CAPTURES ALL GUNS. Dashing; Movement Against Cabrera Barillas Also Victorious. CITT OF MEXICO, June 1L Private ad vices received here from the Republic of Salvador show that General Toledo, lead er of the revolutionists in Southern Guate mala, after sustaining six hours' artillery fire on June 8, made a dash June 9 and captured all the guns of the government of Guatemala. This victory, it appears, was won in a masterly manner. The news from Northern Guatemala shows that the revolutionists organized by General Baril las, the former President of Guatemala, have captured Ocos and Ayutla. Cabrera Claims Victory. WASHINGTON, June 11. A crushing- defeat to the revolutionists who Invaded the country across the Hon duras boundary, together with the re mainder of those who went across the Salvadorean frontier, was reported to the Guatemalan Minister in a cable gram dated today from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The action, the dispatch further stated, took place at a place called Mongoy. Disaster on .Way to Dance. MANHATTAN, Nev., June 1L A party of 26 people, mostly physicians and nurses, who were driving to Belmont today to attend, a dance, met with a serious acci dent.

LET THE VOTERS DECIDE Arizona and New Mexico to Vote on Union and Elect a Constitu tional Convention Okla homa Is Safe. WASHINGTON, June 1L The Carter compromise on the statehood bill was agreed upon today by Republican leaders of the Senate and House. Nothing now stands in the way of the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a state, and a choice by Arizona and New Mexico as to whether they desire to coma in as another state. It is expected that the pending conference report will be recommitted or withdrawn when it comes up tomorrow and an amended report re turned to both houses embodying the com promise. In this way the discussion of a question that has been before Congress almost coptlnuously for six years will be ended. The compromise presented by Senator Carter provides for the rejection of the Burrows amendment striking from the bill all reference to the admission of Arizona and New Mexico and the adoption in lieu of section 24 of the original bill of an amendment providing the following: Provision for Vote on Union. That at the general election to be held on November 8. 1906. all the electors of said territories respectively qualified to vote at such election are hereby authorized to vote for and choose delegates to form a conven tion for said territories. The aforesaid con vention shall consist of 110 delegates. 66 of which delegates shall be elected to said con vention by the people of the Territory of New Mexico and 44 by the people of the Territory of Arisona, and the Governor. Chief Justice and Secretaries of each of said territories respectively shall apportion the delegates to be thus elected from their re spective territories, as nearly as may be equitably done, among the several counties thereof, in accordance with the population as shown by the Federal census of 1SOO. That at the said general election and on the same ballots on which the names of can didates to the said convention are printed there shall be submitted to the qualified electors of each of said territories a question which shall be stated on the ballot In sub stance and form as follows: "Shall Arizona and New Mexico be united to form one state?" Then follow instructions in detail for marking the ballots and transmission of the results to the Secretary of the In terior, after which it is provided: . One State or Two Territories. If it appears from the returns that a ma jority of the electors In each of the terri tories voted In favor of union, then, and not otherwise, the inhabitants of Arizona and New Mexico as at present described may become the State of Arlsona, but, If in either of the territories a majority of the electors shall have voted against the union, then the provisions of the bill for the as sembling of the constitutional convention shall be null and void, excepting that the appropriation made shall be available for defraying all and every kind and character of expense incurred on account of the elec tion of the delegates to the convention and the submission of the question of statehood. Each territory will elect a delegate to Congress and vote for regular territorial officers at the same election, so that In case the Joint statehood proposition is rejected, the affairs of the territories will continue as heretofore.

WASHINGTON, June 11. During the consideration of the sundry civil bill to day in the House. Keifer endeavored to have an appropriation of J4000 for the completion of the work of marking the places where American soldiers and sail ors fell and were temporarily interred in Cuba and China. While the amendment was defeated, an interesting discussion arose as to the policy of marking the places where our soldiers and sailors fell on foreign soil. Tawney, chairman of the appropriations committee, in opposing the appropriation, stated that no country in the world pro vides for its soldiers as we do. He said that we not only bring the bodies of the dead here from, foreign lands, but that the Government relnters them and marks their last resting-places with headstones bearing appropriate inscription of deeds performed. "We own near the City of Mexico," he said, "a cemetery where are interred the bodies of many who fell in the Mexican War." A superintendent is in charge and an appropriation is made each year to keep up the cemetery, but this, Tawney said, was not parallel to an appropriation for marking the spots where our soldiers fell and were temporarily Interred. He also instanced the fact that at King's Mountain in North Carolina, where was fought one of the early battles of the Revolution, the bodies of General Fer guson and 40 British soldiers rest and the English government has never asked the American Government to erect a mon ument, let alone a mark, to show the participants in that famous battle.

Hopkins replied that newspaper infor mation Is "not such as a man would rely upon in a financial matter." He again assured the Senate that Mr. Walsh's bank had paid 100 cents on the dollar and expressed the opinion that this re sult should be satisfactory to Illinois.
