Shortly after noon the little fellows, each of whom had been given a ticket ly the route manager, Mr. Mclnturff, to whom was delegated the Job of "herding them," gathered at the Capi tal Journal office, where they made things forget their lonosomeness and shortly after 1 o'clock Mr. Mclnturff legan Ills job of herding, and showed real genius. He got them started out In couples mi they marched down the sidewalk tintll all were out, and then two by io, aa the animals entered the ark, tkj tied across the street and Into t dining room. They were soon tcaled, with Mr. Taber at the head of 1he table, and the 'way they Individ tally and collectively stowed away the turkey and other good things the table las loaded with waa certainly a great compliment to both caterers and ooks, There was about 75 of them, and they all talked between mouth fulj and nil at once and it surely was whole show and an enjoyable one In itself, A Few Details. That every youngster in attendance m boast of eating the largest and one of the best dinners he ever tackled, fK without saying. The seventy-! five plates, every one managed by a", tolght-eyed, hungry boy, were filled to overflowing time after time. Wait resses and waiters were kept constant ly busy replenishing the platters and the orders of the day were to "fill 'em up till they can't eat another bite." .These orders were carried out to the letter too, as when those lads left the liquet board, they were content to either sit or lounge upon any conven ient chair or table in the Journal of flec Instead of romping and playing .out-of-doors. Every one was in the highest . of Plrlts, especially Mr. Taber, who of ficiated at the dinner.

I There are practically no birds le hangings to Occur as Stated Law Is Plain about Repriev es and the only Thing That can Interfere with the stunt Is the Governor Himself Clerk of the Supreme Court J c Moreland smiles wlum the investiga tion which Attorney-General Crawford lias started Into the legality of the hangings scheduled at the pen on Frl day, December 13 is mentioned. The Judge defines the term "reprieve" and quotes statutes and opinions hv h. armful to show that there 1b absolute ly nothing Irregular to stand In the way of the program being carried out as booked on that day, Before looking into th matter the nttorney-genoral nmde tho off-hand statement that It might be necessary for all of the condemned men t0 be sent back to the counties from which they came and have new dates set for their executions. The attorney-general has stated that apparently tho courts of Oregon nnd of other suite have held that In cases where the death penalty Is not carried out on the date originally set It Is not necessary for the court to re-sentence the prisoners, but that It Is necessary for the court to set now dates for the executions. Attorney-General Crawford lias also expressed doubt as to tho legality of the governor's action in naming the day upon which the hangings eluill take place, believing this to be In the province of tho Judiciary. While the constitution gives the governor power to grant reprieves, commutations and rardons It does not state when re prieves shall terminate. Judge More- land, however, shows how It is unnec essary for the constitution to make such a provision since the definition ot h reprieve carries with It as a part of the repriveso the making of a certain date on which the execution or other penalty shall be Inflicted. In which the reprieve Is defined, Judge Moreland offers the following: Quoting from the New York reports "I am of the opinion that in a case like the present where the execution of sentence Is reprieved by the gover nor until a particular day, it Is the duty of the sheriff to execute tue judgment of the court at that time, un less further respite has been granted or tho judgment annulled In the mean time." The governor under tho constitu tion 13 vested with tho prerogative to grant reprieves. This is a power to enlarge and extend Uie tlmo fixed by the court for the execution of the sen tence of death to a day certain In the future. The right to execute the sen tence on that day Inheres In the pow er to fix the day to which the reprieve shall extend." lllHDEKED TWO WOMEX 1UI 1'EXALTV TODAY nXITCK l'l:B."

That tho average healthy boy can overcome the amount of food con sumed by the ordinary grown man or woman was conclusively manifested yesterday afternoon at the banquet given by The Capital Journal to the nowsboys.

Potatoes (sweet) 2 bushels. Mince pies, 22. Plum pudding, 30 pounds. Ice cream, 5 gallons. In completion with this comparative ly enormous amount of food consumed by the seventy-five ni at the dinner, Manager Crowe served quart after Quart of olives, pickles, peaches and other fancy canned goods) together with tropical fruits of every descrip tion. 'in compiling tho necessary items for a modern banquet," said Mr. Ciowo today, "I would have made my tentative plans no more complete and, In fact, would have figured upon a les ser supply than that required ny the newsboys. Those boys ate nioro than I would have served to 100 grown peo ple and for a time It was doubtful If we would he able to keep sufficient turkey on hand for others." Truly, Mr. Crowe did himself proud lir serving his small guests yirsferday nnd proved himself worthy of ho title "One Jolly Good Fellow."
