Warden Accedes to Request of
Kid White's Attorney.
APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Slay o. Execution to Bo Asked on
the Strength of the Confession
of Seattle Murderer's
Imprisoned Pal.
"WALLA WALU. Wash., March 1.
(Speclalj 'Kid" White has been granted
a few additional hours lease of life by
"Warden Ivces, of the State Penitentiary,
upon the request of White's attorney,
who late last evening: requested the war
den to postpone the execution until he
could tomorrow go before the Supreme
Court and -ask for a stay of execution
upon a motion for a new trial.
The motion for a new trial, it is under
stood, will be based upon the confession
of his companion in the crime committed,
Jack Hildorbraud. wiio is now serving a
life pentoncc in tho Walla Walla Peniten
tiary as a confessed accessory to the
murder of Matthew Murphy, a Seattle
oartender.
Warden Kees. at S o'clock this evening,
Announced that he had agreed 10 post
pone the execution for a few hours In
'order to Rive the attorneys a chance to
appear before the Supreme Court tomor
row. The time for the execution had
1een set for daybreak tomorrow morn
ing, but it will not now take place until
some time in tha afternooH.
Preparations had gone so far toward
the carrying out of the execution that the
caff old "way iu place, the rope tested
with heavy bags of sand and White had
been removed from the Penitentiary
proper to a room in the hospital building,
that he migl)t spend his last hours In
company with the priest and chaplain
without disturbing the discipline of the
ward in which f has been confined. In
an lnterviow this afternoon White ex
pressed himself as apparently resigned to
his fate, and said:
"I suppose 1 might as well go now as
any tlnic.wc have to die som time and
we have to go different ways. 1 hold
no grudge against anyone, and think
that this is the bout way to go. both
for me. the suite and my future."
In the interview he still maintained
tliKt Murphy had been shot by Ilildc
brand bofore h" entered the saloon. lie
further -said that he and Uildchraml
liad "done one trick" and attempted
another before the robbery of the sa
loon In which Murphy was "killed. His
companion in crime, .lack H'ildebrand,
in a confession published yesterday,
attempts to shoulder the entire blame
for the crime, and stales that it was
ho who fired the shot that killed the
agod bartender.
Strenuous attempts liave been made
by the W. C. T. 1. and kindred organ
isations throughout the state to per
suade Governor Mead to commute
White's eiitcnc to lif imprisonment,
but the Goxornor refused to in t erf re.
It had heen published in some juarters
That tbe temperance organizations
have interested themselves in White's
behalf, because the man lie Ictllcd was
h bartender. Such' a motive though has
been vigorously denied.
White was at first sontencod to hang
January 26, but Governor Mead grant
ed a stay of execution until March 2.
that his attorneys might appeal to the
Supreme Court for a new trial. This
lias nor yet been secured and the feel
ing tonight is that he will hang some
time tomorrow afternoon.
CIUNESE ARE SEEING SEATTLE
Commissioners Kidc in Autos and
Hear College Boys Yell.
SEATTLE, Wash.. March 1. In a per
sonal letter today to the Great Northern
Steamship Company. Prince Tsai Tseh
and their Excellencies, Shane Chi Hong
and Li Shcng To, imperial Chinose com
missioners, announced officially that they
will return to Scuttle after completing
their European studies and sail on the
Dakota from this port to Shanghai.
Members of the commission and their
attaches spent the morning running
about Seattle in automobiles. Prince Tsal
has been out of Pokin but once, when, in
10CO, he fled with the Empress Dowager
during the Boxer troubles. His Excel
lency Shang Chi Hong, former Acting
Governor of Shan Tung Province, has
never been outside his home country. The
tour of the city In automobiles and the
visit they paid to the business and resi
dence district, gave them and most of
the party their first impression of Amer
ica. About noon today the entire party was
shown through the Seattle High School.
The 2200 pupils were called together before
the Chinese party and then the entire
building was thoroughly Inspected. The
Chinese party was shown the manual
training department in detail. Later In
the day the parly was tho guest of the
Painler Club at a luncheon, and this aft
ernoon visited the shipbuilding plant
where the battleship Nebraska Is noaring
completion, and tho lumber mill of the
Stct8on-Post Company.
Prince Tsal Tse and party paid a
visit to the University of Washington
following the luncheon, accompanied
by a reception committee from the
Seattle Commercial Club. Th univer
sity band mot the visitors and at As
Kembly Hall they were given A rous
ing reception by the student body.
President Thomas Franklin Kane de
livered an address of wolcome on be
half of the State of Washington and
tho university. The' address was inter
preted to his highness, who responded
with thanks. At the suggestion of Pres
jdent Kane the college ypll was given
for tho amusement of tho visitors,
most of whom had never heard one be
fore, and plainly showed it.
A formal invitation from a committee
of New Yorkers to visit that city has
been accepted by the Chinese Commis
sion. It is doubtful now whether any of
the commissioners will go to Washington.
The Chinese Minister may meet them in
New York. The commission wants to
spend most of its time while in Chicago
at the stockyards, 4 o satisfy ia. desire to
know of American packing methods.
China-is a heavy buyer 'and may "become
a better customer.
Prince Tsai Tseh and Their Excellen
cies Shang Chi Hcng and LI Shcng-to,
the three "members of the Imperial Chi
nese Commission, made nriet addresses to
the students -of the Seattle High School
today. -Each of the commissioners de
clared 'the American public school sys
tem is responsible for America's advance.
and each declared the hope of China lies
in her public schools.

to Interfere.
SPOKANE. Wash.. March 3. (Spe
cial.' The last effort to save the life
of Kid White, the Seattle murderer.
failed today, when Judge Edward
"Whitson. of the United States Court,
refused to sign a writ-of habeas cor
pus. The application ror a wrii or
habeas corpus was made by William
O'Connor, a Seattle lawyer. Mr, O'Con
nor came to Spokane Wednesday. Ho
found that Judge Whitson was at
Green TUvr- Hot Springs near, Seattle
and O'Connor hurried back to Seattle
and saw the Judge.
The application for the- writ was
made upon the grounds that White
wa3 being-' illegally detained of tha
liberty guaranteed him under the Con
stitution of the United States and
that all the remedies offerc to him in
the state courts had beon exhausted.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. CVftfarch 1,
(Special.) A clean sweep of American
silver from the Domiuion of Canada lias
been devised by tho Dominion govern
ment, and the banks of Canada, on ar
rangement with the government, put
the law Into force today. The banks arc
to collect all the Amorlcan silver. In all
about SGO0.O0O. and transmit same to the
agency for the Bank of Montreal at New
York, receiving gold In exchange. This
amount will tlion be replaced In circula
tion by Canadian coin, while on the J50t).
O00 the banks will get three-eighths of 1
per cent, and also on all shlpnteats here
after the percentage will be the'same.
With the silver market In the present
condition, the Dominion government
should make about $400,009 on the deal.
besides giving the bank a fair prollt and
also putting into circulation much Cana
dian silver that has been held In check
by the American money. On several oe
caslons In former years the banks have
endeavored to terminate the circulation
of American silver by plaping a. discount
on it, but it was found that, in spite of
this, the coin was in circulation, but never
went to the banks.
However, there will now be no discount
on American silver, but the banks will
not pay it out. Threelquartera of the
silver in circulation in Southern British
Columbia is of American origin. The
main point the government claims in put
ting this rcheme Into operation Is to get
Canadian currency in circulation.

Beaten into Insensibility in the Hth
round of his light with Frankie Neil
lMt nigkt. Harry Tcnny. bantam
weight, raliiod only to suffer excruciating-
pain in his head and stomach,
and died about S o'clock this morning.
According to an autopsy made by
Coroner's Surge-on Kucich. death re
sulted from eercbral hemorrhage, prob
ably chmimnI by a blow. The mother of
the"dHd youtn, Mrs. Israel Tcnnebaum,
and a brother, James Tennebaum. al
lege that jlryehnlne was given during
th fight "as a stimulant, and the stom
ach was removed for analysis.
Many who were near the corner of tho
defested ptigiHrt heard him wy he was
all in ami wanted to quit in th'- tenth
round. His ooh1 wero heard te urg
him ou. toiling hint he would stilt win
and that his opponent was tiring.
It was Iartied that Tenny' seconds Imri

man. They saw that monsy ft fading
away and spurred the tired and Jaded
lad to continue the fray, hoping that somo
lucky incident might intervene and save
their money.
Tile direct caue of death was hemor
rhage of the brain, as announced by Dr.
Kucich, the nutopw physician at the
morgue. Tho bone above Tcnny"s right
was broken by the force of Neils
bku and the eye itself sunk in tlie head.
Hud the little pugilist survived tho blow
tlere. he Htirc-ly would never have re
gained the sight of that injured optic.
Death was in no wise caused by any
poison or narcotic nor from a weak heart.
His physical condition was perfect.
Trainer .Shaughnessy alleges Tenny
died In an epileptic fit. Captain of Po
lice Duke, who witnessed the fight
blames th referee for permitting It to
continue after it was evident that
Tonny was helpless.
Chief of Police Dlnan declared today
that the promoters of the fight had
complied with the city ordinances in
every particular untl that the usual
physicians-' certificates had been given
to tho authorities as to the ability of
the two contestants to engage In a
ring battle.
"It Is ridiculous to say that Tenny
was poison od." declared Trainer
Shaughnes-sy. "I was with him all the
time and he had no chance to get any
thing that whs not right. I think
Tenny probably died of epilepsy. I
know a fw nights ago ho had a fit and
last night he mid another one. I in
tended to ask some of the family If ho
was subject to such attacks. I never
heard that he was until some one told
mo of the attack. He certainly acted
as if ho was in a fit and I believe that
he 'died in one."
Champion Nell declares that the
charge is absurd, because a man would
have been unable to fight as hard as
Tenny If he had been given a drug.
lteferce Roche said he did not be-
I'rcd Miller, ef Spekssc. esa of the
atteraera for the defeat.
llevc Tenny was in distress before the
decision was given, and the fighter
gave evidence of being able to continue
the fight. It was said tonight that
Tcn,ny's death will not affect the mu
nicipal permit given fpr fights for the
balance of the year.
Attorney Porter Ashe, whs appears
for the fighters, thinks It probable that
the use of strychnine had as much to
do in hastening death as anything cite.
i he body shows a badly battered eye
and a alight abrasion over the heart.
Mayor Schmitx says that he will in
vestigate the death of Tcnny, and If
negligence concerning the condition of
the pugilists in shown he will recom- j
mend to the Supervisors that no more J
permits be issued for prizefights,
Tcnnya death is the second result
ing from ring contests here within the
month. On the night of February 3
Alex Doevin was beaten to death -by
"Chlefy" Johnson In an unlicensed am
ateur fight at Colma.
Mark Sbaughnessy attended Tenny at
the baths. The beaten pugilist com
plained of terrible pains In his stomach
and head. At 4 o'clock this morning he
fell asleep and the physician left, saying
all dancer was over.
At 7:) o'clock Sbaughnessy was awak
ened by a cry from Tenny. The boy was
doubled up in agony and a hurry call
was sent In for the Central Emergency
ambulance. Before It arrived Tcnny was
dead.
After he was taken to the baths. Dr.
McGInnlty was summoned. Tennys heart
action was weak, the pulse dropping to
40. Strong stimulants remedied this and
at 1 o'clock this morning Dr. McGIn
nlty pronounced him out of danger.
"How do you feel, Harry?" Shaugh
nessy asked.
"I'm awful sick. My stomach and
hoatl hurt awfully. answered the

Shortly afterward ho dropped asleep.
No physician was in attendance from

SALEM. Or.. Mar. 1. (Spocial.) In pur
nuance of an act passed by the last Leg
islature, the Board of Public Building
Commissioners has practically (declded to
send Superintendent G. W. Jones, of the
State Blind School, on a tour ot Eastern
Mates this Summer, for the purpose of
Investigating state schools for the feeble
minded. The last Legislature appropriated
15,ftO for the investigation ef this subject
and the purr base of ground for the lo
cation of an institute for the feeble
minded. The investigation thus far conducted
convinces tho board that SlS.foX) wl!t be but
a very small part of the expenditure
that will be necessary It such an Institu
tion be established, so this administra
tion will do no more than make a full
report showing what has been learned
by the experience of other states and
recommending a course tor this stale to
pursue.
Soon after Its doors had been opened
for the admission of those entitled to
lt5rnld. an Institution of the kind men
tioned would have some 300 inmates. As
very few arc ever discharged, the number
of inmates would increase from year to
year, ami new buildings would be neces
sary. Other states have learned that
the feeble-minded can best be cared for
on a farm, where they van be employed
at work that will make them, in a large
measure, self-supporting. The Board of
Capitol Building Commissioners is. there
fore, of the opinion that no ktnd should
be bought until the Legislature has pro
Ided for the purchase ot a farm of 200
acres or more in the moat desirable loca

.MILLIONS IXVOLVI51) IS CASK
Supreme Court Kcversca Lower Court
In Canal .Matter.
OLVMPIA. Wash.. March L (Special.)
The Supreme Court today handed down
one of the ntot important decisions from
a nnaneiul, point of view that has been
rendered in many months, in the case of
Edgar Ames, plaintiff and respondent, vs.
George Kinnear et a!., appellants, from
King County. The casie involves the sub
sidy or la mi bonus of the so-culled South
Seattle canal, and the lower court, which
decided in favor of the canal company, is
reversed.
Amet brought the action as the holder
of a contract given the Seattle &. Lake
Washington Waterway Company by the
defendants, the contract being to all prac
tical appearance a straight warranty
deed, subject to title being sectiral from
the state for the thlelaml involved.
In the lower court the defendants set
up ns an afiirmatlve defense that the
waterway company was to receive onc
hair or the tidelands filled in by it from
the soil taken front the canal It waa build
ing, and that the kind thus Involved in
the contract waa In reality a subsidy- for
the eonstructiOH of the canal. It was then
declared that the canal bail not been
built ami that It was an impracticable
proposition and would not be built, and
that, therefore, tho waterway company
was not entitled to receive the subsidy.
The lower court sustained a demurrer to
this afiirmatlve defense and gave judg
ment for the plaintiff. This judgment is
reversed by the Supreme Court, and the
cus is remanded, with instructions to the
lower court to vacate the judgment and
overrule the demurrer to tho answer. It
is estimated that several million dollars
arc Involved la tho decision, taking Into
consideration the recent increase In values
in tldoland at the south end of Elliott
Bay.

PUBLIC GAMBLING AT ASTORIA
Grand Jury Criticises the Present
Method ot Monthly Fines.
ASTORIA. Or.. March 1. (Special.) The
Circuit Court grand jury completed its
labors this morning, submitted its final re
port and was . discharged. The session ot
court thus far has been a very quiet one,
and not a Jury cars has been tried. Only
two criminal cases were reported to the
WOMAN'S TRIALS.
Her Bitter Disappointment.
The bitter trzil In a woman's life is to
be childless.. Who can tell how hard the
struggle mav have been ere she learnt xo
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab
sence of this link to bind marital life to
gether, tho absence of this one pledge to
mutual affection is & common disap
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even If tney
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family docs not seem too numerous.
It will rather appear to them that those
on whom this blessing has been most
richly bestowed hardly value It suffi
ciently. In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. Dr.PIerce'3 Fa
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health and frnitfulne53 to many
a barren woman, to the great joy of the
household. In other, but rare cases, tho
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalid' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y.. oyor which
Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription"
fame presides. In all cases where chil
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since It is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all tha various weaknesses, displace
ments, prolapsus ante-versions, retro
versions. Inflammation of ovaries. Ieucor
rhcea, giving rise to disagreeable and
weakening drains, and in all cases of
norvousnd's, nervous prostration and
debility. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the most efficient remedy that can
possibly bo used. It has to its credit
hundreds of thousands of cures moro in
fact than any other remedy pnt up for
sale through druggists, especially for
woman's use. You do not have to take
Dr. Pierce's word alon? for this, because
the Ingredients of which th "Favorite
Prescription nara composed have received

A woman once wrote us
that she was not going to
buy Scott's Emulsion any
more because it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. Scott's Emul
sion costs more because it is
worth more costs more to
make. We could make
Scott's Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care in making it, too.
If we did, however, Scott's
Emulsion wouldn't be the
standard preparation of cod
liver oil as it is to-dav. ;
