GOVERNOR REFUSES , - . V TO PREVENT HANGING (Bperlal Mapatrfc te The learaal.) TTallnNVi'iitl ii Willi, rr'-f- ernor Mead having declined to interfere, . officials at the atate penitentiary are making arrangementa to carry out the death sentence imposed on Angus Mc , Fhall, the Snohomish county murderer, who will be hanged In the prison yards next Friday morning. McPhall will be the fifth convict to meet death on the acaffold within a year at the Walla Walla prison. He will be executed on '. the same acaffold used In carrying out the death sentence on Aran. Clark. Cham pou and Paahualr.' McPhall haa re signed himself to his fate and declares he will meet, death bravejy. The death sentence saya that McPhall shall be hanged between sun up and - sun down, but following tha usual cus tom the execution will take., place early in the morning, before the other con victs arer put to vtrk for the day. It is a curious fsct that the convicts are always aware when an execution is to take place, although not a breath of '""what is to transpire-is ever let out by ' the prison officials. The convicts be come nervous and irritable, and it Is always at this time that the prison off I. rials fear an outbreak. .For this reason It haa been the custom of the peniten tiary officials to carry out a death sen tence aa early in the morning as per missible.

Practioal results of the municipal olvll service are to be seen In the city engineer's office, where two old political rivals, a Democrat and a Republican, are worklna harmonloualy side by aide the one aa chief of the department, ins other as a subordinate. ' The two men are City Engineer IV W. Taylor and W. 8. Chapman, civil engi neer. The present -situation la- being' watched closely b many who cannot understand why Taylor appointed Chap man, and why the latter consented to take a Job under hla old rival. A Tears ago, when party lines were drawn in Portland, these two men were bitter political enemies. Taylor waa one of the leading figures in the Demo cratic organisation and Chapman waa looked upon aa somewhat of a bosa in Republican ranks. - Both were cepaoie engineers. ' In many political campaigns they sought election to the same office. One campaign would .result In Taylor's election as head of the city engineer Ins: deoartment. and perhaps In the next Chapman would be the successful can didate. If either could discover mis takes in the other's work he was not long in making it known. . ' The old-time rivalry continued until Taylor's recent appointment to the of fice of city engineer by Mayor Lane. This waa his first experience in the. of fice under the new charter and he .found himself hedged about by the rules gov erning the Civil service. There waa no discharging the employes in the depart ment and filling their places with po litical favorites as of old, but whenever a man waa neeaea ior any pomiiunu. had to be chosen from an eligible list certified to him by the civil service com mission. ' ' It was all iew and strange to Taylor, but. everything went smoothly until rush of work made it necessary for nira to appoint another civil engineer. He asked for an eligioie net ana xne name of W. 8. Chapman war certified to him for appointment Chapman' formerly had haM the nosltlon under the civil aervlce In Mayor Williams' administration, but waa laid off on account of lark of work. Aiv-nrrilna- to civil service rules. If a man Is laid off he la to remain on, the eligible list. - Tavinr UM aside all past animosities tnr hla rival and appointed him 10 the vacancy. Chapman accepted the posi tion and went to work aa a subordinate and is ald to be doing consistent serv im which Tavlor recognises and praises The old-time rivalry haa entirely dis appeared.

There, Is an ordinance limiting steamboats to this speed, and the municipal law waa upheld by Circuit i Judge M. C. George this morning. " Captain Fred Sherman, master or me i steamboat Bailey Uatsert, waa round guilty of violating the ordinance on September 10, and was fined 125. ' The same fine had been imposed by Munici pal Judge Cameron and tha case -was appealed. ' ' In rendering hla decision, juag Oeorge held that the state had full police power to regulate the speed, of vessels plying on rivers witnin us boundaries. -Ha said that the atate. by the act making the city charter a law. had granted to the city tha power to regulate the speed of steamboats within Its limits. A law passed by the legisla ture in 101 had' given th.ls power to the Port of Portland commission,, but Judge Oeorge beld that thia act was repealed by the passing of the city char ter bill. The court also held that the act making the city charter a law re pealed other previous lawa that were in conflict with it, and that thia speed regulating power lay within the rlghta of the city council and not the executive board. In referring to the defense that a boat might be forced to a greater speed owing to stress of weather or the rapid flow of the river. Judge oeorge quotea a well-khown legal authority by aaying. Involuntary acts are not crimes and necessity la always a defense." He said that thia muat be read Into the ordinance, and if a veasel was forced by the current to proceed at a greater speed than six mllea an hour,', or . If other natural causes forced s rapid rale of travel, these would be good excuses.
