THIS ROASTER
ON A CORNER
Albany, April 13.—Sunday was a
busy day with Governor Glynn. He
heard the final appeals of the two
attorneys for the convicted slayers,
C. G. F Wahle and H. L. Kringle,
for a stay of the death sentence, and
then again and for the last time re-
fused to Interfere with the execut-
ions. For two hours the attorneys
pleaded. All appeals to the gover-
nor’s sympathies were disregarded.
Only the new testimony placed be-
fore Justice Goff in New York Sat-
urday was presented. When they had
finished the governor nad hie legal
adviser John G. Saxe, retired to a
private room.
Every scrap of evidence was gone
over and every affidavit read fa My
by the governor Then the governor
eeaaldered the cnee and replied with
n firm voice saying:
“Gentlemen, I am sorry bat I can-
not see my way clear to change my
decision.’
With the last chance to save the
gunmen from the chair gone the at-
torneys walked slowly from the
chamber.
‘•It seems the boys must die,1
Mr. Wahle said, '-unless the gover-
nor changes his decision before
morning they are doomed."
“Did he hold out any hope," was
asked. „
“ No,’ he replied. “On the contrary
be said his decision was final."
'•The governor seemed anxious to
know every new fact in the case,'’
Mr. Wahle said, "and I tried to ex
plain them fully. We presented all
of the evidence and affidavits were
produced before Justice Goff Satur-
day, presented verbally salient fea-
tures of the evidence and then gave
and his counsel the affidavits for
their examination. They went over
them in private and then the gover-
nor declared there was nothing in
them that could cause him to re-
verse his decision.
‘•There is nothing left for us to
do but continue our duty as bearers
of bad news. We shall telegraph to
Ossining and later return to New
York to report the governor's deci-
sion to the relatives of the condemn-
ed men.”
The* attorneys departed for New
York Sunday Evening
New York, April 13.—The bane
ball season in the Mg leagues begins
tomorrow. Magnates of the majors
look forward to a moat successful
season.

and Building Destroyed
Hollis. Okla.. April 13—When the
boi.er of a peanut roaster, operated
by W. H. Gilliland, on a prominent

chine was totally wrecked, pieces
flying in every direction, the plate

and little son of J. T. Ellis who were
sitting on the steps: in front of the
building were both wounded by fly-
Ing debris, Tyler being struck on the
check by a piece of glass, making a
Jagged wound while young Ellis re-
ceived bad ruts on the nose and
for 1 cheek. The street was crowded with
people at the time and It Is consid-
ered miraculous htat no one was
killed

THE HOLY CITY
LAST NIGHT
Presbyterian Church Taxed Be-
yond Its Capacity —It Was
Splendid
A crowd of between 500 and 600
Iieople attended the "Holy City”
Cantata as rendered by the First
Presbyterian church choir at that
church last night. Long before time
to begin standing room only could
be had and many people were turned
away, who could not gain admission
at all. The church was beautifully
decorated with cut flowers, ferns
and potted plants.
The rendition of this beautiful and
extremely difficult cantata caused
much favorable comment throughout
the vast audience, showing that the
work of the choir which has taken
weeks of earnest practice was duly
appreciated.
The 1-adie* Aid society In recogni-
tion of the splendid work and faith-
ful service of the choir presented
the members with two magnificent
bouquets of roaes. carnations and
other flowers and the C. W. A. class
of the Sunday school presented
Mr Fipps. leader, and Mrs. Fipps,
organist with a beautiful bouquet of
pink and white rosea in recognition
of their effort.
A collection was taken amounting
to quite a sum of money.
The choir, we understand, la plan-
ning to give another musical pro-
gram some time in the near future
and It Is needless to say they will
be greeted with a large crowd when
the time comes.
Washington. April 13. The state
of Idaho showed 'he largest Increase
In the valne of Its crops In 1909 as
compared with the year 1899. of any
state In the union, accorffing to th»>
census of sericulture In 1910 which
recently has been issued by Director
William J. Harris. Bureau of the
Census. Department of Commerce
The cropa of Idaho la 1909 Increas-
es in value 270.7 percent over
their value In 1899. The state ef
Washington ranked second with a
percentage of increase In valne ef
336.4 per cent: North Dakota was
third, with a percentage of 234.3:
Wyoming, fourth, with 319.8 percent.
Oklahoma fifth with 206 pel
and Colorado sixth with 200 4
cent.
Five other states shamed gains of
160 to >99 per cent la value, name-
ly New Metata J41.2: Sente Dakota
18*9; *<ghtklT f»IP, Florida II7.I,
end Georgia 143.4.
Bight other etatee showed gofno of
100 to ISO percent la value, namely,
South Carolina. 141.1; Oregon 194.9,
rtah 134.2, Arfsona 122.3. Nebraska
112 1; North Carolina 14)8.2, Nevada
1051. Nebraska 112.1, North Caro-
line 10* 2 and Arkansas 101.5. By
comparison the percentage of gain
in value of crops for the entire Un-
ited States for 1899-1909 was 83 per-
cent while that of the state of Illi-
nois which led all other states In
the total value of Its crop produc-
tion wa* 73.1 percent.
Significant Figures
The significance of the shove per-
centage figures is shown by the
fact that the states which showed
'he largest gains In 1909 over 1899
are not the states which led in agri-
culture and value of crops, speaking
generally. In most of these first-
named states agriculture has not
been one of the chief industries but
the advance shown from 1899 a
19<»9 Indicates that greater attention
is being paid to the grow ing of crops.
The newer stales In the northwest
—Idaho. Washington, North Dakota.
Wyoming--show very large percen-
tage gains during the 1899- 1909 de-
cade yet the total value of their
crops will not rank with other states
in the more densely populated sec-
tions of the country as Is shown by
a comparison between Idaho, with
a percentae gain of 270.7 percent and
a total valuation (at the farm) of
crops in 1908 of $34,358,000 and Illi-
nois wi thapercentage gain of 73.3
and total value of crops of $372,270,
000.
The Principal Crops
Tho principal crops in the order
of their value of the slates who^e
percentage of gain ranks over 100
were as follows:,
Idaho: Hay and forage, wheat and
oats.
Washington: Wheat, oats, flax-
seed. hay and forage and barley.
Wyoming: Hay and forage, oats
and w-heat.
