Sydney Millionaire Will Buiicf
a Swift Challenger.
WANTS TROPHY FOR CANADA
Vessel Is to Be Built) in Native City
of Halifax, N. S.f and Is to
Cost a Half-Million .
Dollars. "
NEW "WESTMINSTER. B. C, Jan. 2L
Special.) Sir Thomas Upton's failure to
raise the America's cup has not daunted
every one. Yesterday afternoon there
passed through this city from Seattle to
Vancouver Edward "Wallace, of Sydney,
N. S. "W. Mr. Wallace made some start
line disclosures.
About 20 years ago a native of Halifax,
!N. S., he went to Australia, being then a
youth In .his teens. There, in the gold
fields, he made his millions, and Is now
traveling on pleasure bent. Intending to
visit'many different countries of the world.
The millionaire says. In a modest way,
that he intends to construct a yacht to
lift the championship cup of the yacht
ing world from the Americans and give it
to Canada.
His guiding motive is to show his loyalty
to Canada, his native land, and also to
have In the sea a private yacht of his
own In which to cruise from land to land
withersoever he may wish to go. On a
visit to Halifax about eight months ago
Mr. "Wallace obtained designs on the
framework of the proposed vessel. At that
time, however, he merely wished to have
theyacht as a pleasure cruiser; but of
late he has become infatuated with the
idea of becoming famous by putting his
craft Into racing circles, and has drawn
desfgns for himself somewhat after the
style of the Emperor of Germany's "Me
teor." The project has so far been kept secret,
for Mr. Wallace was undecided as to
where he would have his racer construct
ed. Since his arrival from Australia his
feeling of patriotism has been so strong
that he has selected Halifax, his -native
city, as the most suitable port in which
to have the new cup challenger tullt.
The new yacht will be 130 feet lcr.ig. with
a water line of S5 feet, beam 25 feet, and
draft 16 feet The total cost will be not
less than 5500,000. A great deal of this,
however, will be taken up with the In
terior furnishings.
The yacht will not only be a fast boat,
but will bo constructed for the purpose of
providing comfort in lengthy sea cruises.
In the bow of the boat will be an immense
oil tank, designed as a safeguard against
rough weather. The stern will contain a
large air-tight compartment
The center will be taken up principally
with the main saloon, which will be about
1G feet long and will extend the full width
of the yacht The interior of this will be
finished in mahogany and oak, with
bronze trimmings, while the staterooms
and Mr. "Wallace's own suite will be
adorned with blrdseye maple, for which
the millionaire has a particular liking. He
Is providing a women's cabin, which will
contain every accommodation and will be
finished in rosewood and white holly.

WARRANT 18 VALID
- -
Supreme Court' Decides- in
Case of -Armstrong. ,
WILL NOT STAY . EXECUTION
Instrument 'Was Issued Prior to -the
Taking EffectV the Act of 1903
anr lsNn Aff ftr hv V.
and Is' Not Affected
J
Its Operation.
SAlEMv Jan .21. (Special.) The Su
preme Court today handed -down a do-"
cislon In the Eleasaiit Armstrong murder
case?, In -which it is held that all the pro
ceedings in the court below were regular
and' that the death warrant now In the
hands of the Sheriff is valid. So far as
the sale Courts are concerned, Armstrong-
has exhausted all his remedies
without success, and' unless the Federal
Courts give "him relief he will hang to
morrow morning. The opinion of the
Court in the aeclslon today was written
by Justice Bean;''
It is .stated, in Jbrief. .that on March 31,
T903, judgment of death was pronounced
against Armstrong and on the same day
a warrant, was Issued and delivered to the
Sheriff, commanding him to hang the de
fendant on a given dayl Before the Judg
ment was executed an appeal was taken
and. a certificate of probable cause issued,
thereby staying the execution. The Judg
ment was affirmed hv .October. 1903. At
the -time of theissuance of the warrant
thevstatute provided for execution tat the
coijnty seat, but pending appeal the stat
ute was amended so as to require the
execution to take place at the peniten
tiary, but -the amendatory act contained
a provision that it should not apply to
any warrant issued prior to its taking
effect
After the judgment of affirmance had
been entered in the journal of the Circuit
Court the defendant was brought before
that tribunal and the court without re
sentencing him or issuing a new warrant,
appointed another day for the execution
of the warrant issued on the 'original
judgment The defendant appealed, con
tending that after the affirmance the
court should have Issued a new warrant
for his execution at the penitentiary, as
provided In the amendatory act
The opinion of the Supreme Court cites
the various sections of tho statute gov
erning judgments and executions in capi
tal cases, and, in brief, says:
"From these provisions of the statute
it is clear that an appeal in criminal
actions does not vacate the Judgment or
the warrant issued thereon, nor does it
suspend the execution thereof, unless a
certificate of probable cause Is filed wlt,h
the notice of appeal. If such a certifi
cate is filed, it operate to suspend or
hold in abeyance the execution of tho
judgment and. the Sheriff or officer hav
ing the custody of the defendant Is re
quired to abide the judgment on appeal.
Any further proceedings under the war
rant or judgment are by the appeal and
certificate of probable cause suspended
until the appeal is disposed of, but the
validity of the judgment or the warrant
is not affected by the appeal, unless tho
cause is reversed.
"The affirmance of the judgment is a
finding that there is no error therein and
the cause stands in the court below
... so far as the execution Is con
cerned, the same as if no appeal had been
taken and for some other reason the war
rant had not been executed on the day ap
pointed. The warrant has. not expired by
limitation and Its commands have not
been obeyed.
"Further proceedings thereon were sus
pended pending the appeal, but the de
fendant was held and is in custody un
der the original warrant directing his
execution. The officer cannot execute the
warrant It is true, not because it has
expired, but because the day fixed by the
Court has passed, the same as if the pris
oner had escaped or for some other rea
son not affecting the validity of the judg
ment the day appointed had been allowed
to pass without the execution of the Judg
ment In such cases the authorities are
agreed, so far as we have been able to
discover, that It Is the duty of the court
or officer vested by law with the power of
fixing the day for the execution of the
sentence to assign a new day and the re
sentencing of the defendant or the issu
ance of a new warrant are not required."
Several authorities are quoted in sup
port of this vlewand the court-coricludes
that the "warrant In the Armstrong case
was issued prior to the taking effect of
the act of 1903 and 13 excepted from Its
operation.

ATTORNEYS GIVE UP BATTLE.
Legal Resources Exhausted to Stay
Armstrong's Execution.
Attorney Bentley, for Pleasant Arm
strong, had prepared to go before Judge
Gilbert, of the Circuit Court of Appeals
yesterday afternoon and apply for an
appeal from the decision of Judge Bel
linger. , The telegram announcing the de
cision of the Supreme Court was received
tby him just before time for court, and
this -decision, of course, rendered the
other step useless.
"We went into the Federal rCourt," said
Mr. Bentley, "simply because we feared
that the Supreme Court would not decide
in time to do us any good, and we sought
by other means to secure a stay of exe
cution. Now, though. It Is useless to at
tempt anything further. The same "ques
tion that would go before the Court of
Appeals was before the Supreme Court,
and since the State Court has placed its
construction upon the law the Eederal
Court would not take It up.
"We have had a hard fight all through,
but we have done the. best we could for
our client. Nothing remains to be done
now; he must pay the penalty."
Invitations to attend the execution were
received by a. number of the United
States and other local officers of the city
and county. Two or three of these left
yesterday morning for Baker City to at
tend the hanging.
