West and Sunshine, the clever minstrel trio at the Grand this week, will change their bill to-morrow afternoon for tthe rest of the week. XXX Manager Thomas J. Myers, of the Grand, 1 mailing to patrons of the house handsome souvenir cards, announcing the engagement at that theater of Tauline Hall next week. xxx "The Congressman's Wife! Is the title of a play by John D. Barry, dramatic critic of Collier's Weekly, which will be tried at a r-peelal matinee in New York next month with Blanche Bates In the leading role. The Dainty Paree Burlesquers will close at the Empire after to-nlghfs performance. Their place will be taken by Harry Morris's Twentieth Century Maids, who will open at to-morrow's matinee for three days. XXX "Strict People," a comedy by Blumenthal and Kadelburg, authors of "At the "White Horse Tavern." Is making as big a hit In the metropolis as the latter play did. and the new piece will probably be translated Into English shortly. xxx Only two more opportunities are left to enjoy the splendid vaudeville performance at the Park given by Harry W. Williams's Own Company, which includes some of the best specialty artists to be obtained. The engagement of this fine organization ends with two performances to-day. XXX The Commercial Club will entertain the executive committee of the National Editorial Association with a theater party at the Grand Opera House to-morrow night. Seventy-five seats for the performance mentioned were purchased yesterday by Evans Woollen, secretary of the club. x X u. A representative of the Amphjon Club completed arrangements in Chicago, last .week, with the manager of Osslp Gabrllowltsch. for the programme this artist will present in this city. Jan. 3). It embraces several of the noted works in piano literature, and will be of unusual Interest to both critic and student. xxx "The Village Parson," Hal Reid's romantic play, that comes to the Park tomorrow afternoon to remain the rest of the week, is declared to be a worthy companion to the same author's highly successful drama, "Human Hearts." The newer play is said to be thoroughly unconventional, absorbingly interesting, pure In moral tone and thrilling in action. XXX Munich opera goers have witnessed the successful performance of "Cupid and rsyche." a three-act comedy by Max Zenger, a Munich composer and musical author. The libretto, which is by William Schriefer. of Vienna, and which was written as early as lsi. follows Lucius Apulelus. the Iatln philosopher and romance writer of the second century after Christ. The music is Mozartean and is enthusiastically applauded by the critics, who refer to it as "glorious." xxx The Grand will doubtless have an unusually large feminine contingent In its audiences this week on account of the engagement of Kathryn Osterman in her delightful one-act comedy "The Editor." Miss Osterman Is one of the most beautiful women on the stage, but her charm for women lies In the fact that she possesses several unusually handsome growns and a form which displays them to the very best advantage. Better than all this, however, Miss Osterman is a charming woman and a comedienne of consummate cleverness. xxx 'Manager Charles Frohman is keenly alive to the fact that he has a valuable piece of theatrical property in Clyde Fitch's great war drama. "Barbara Frietchif." Accordingly when Miss Marlowe forsook the play for Mr. Major's and Paul .'venter's "Wnen Knighthood was in Flower" Mr. Frohman placed Effle Ellsltr, a young actress of note, in the title role of Barbara Frktchle. and the successful run of the piece has continued unbroken Miss Ellsier Is booked at English's the last half of the current week, beginning tomorrow night and including a matinee Saturday. xxx Winston Spencer Churchill, who will deliver hU famous kcture, "The Boer War

as I Saw It," at English's Opera House to-night. Is . a very resourceful, quickwitted young man. Recently when he was lecturing in Central Music Hall, in Chicago, he caused a picture of a Borr on horseback to be thrown on the screen. The picture was both cheered and roundly hissed. There was a perfect uproar, but the calm voice of the young lecturer rose above the tumult. "Do not hiss." he said. "There Is one of the heroes of history. The man

in the gallery who cheered this picture was right. No true-hearted Englishman will grudge a brave foe cheers." xxx An Invitation was read In the. General Assembly of the State yesterday from Director General Bostock r f the Zoo, inviting the lawmakers to attend a special exhibition this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The invitation was unanimously accepted. It is expected that Governor Durbin and party will accompany the statesmen. The Cingalese dancers are attracting unusual attention.

Will Xot DInciinm Taylor Requisition Until It Is Before Hi in. Governor Durbin's first day In office yesterday was marked by the receipt In his mail of a "spook" letter signed "William Goebel." The letter, which was In a peculiar, evidently masculine hand, was addressed "To Governor Durbin of Indiana," and read as follows: "Let no influence dictate to you. Closet yourself with your conscience and your (God) and be Justified with no mortal interference with your duty." The letter was an inclosure In enother letter signed "A Woman," which said: "I can offer no explanation to the Inclosed message. I found It on my writing desk to-day and no one has access to It but me. I send It to you as I feel I must respect what is a great mystery to me." Neither of the letters bore a date or the name of the town from which It was mailed. The letter from "A Woman" was written with a pen, but the spiritualistic communication was made with a lead pencil. Governor Durbin regarded the matter as the attempt of some crank to get a little notoriety out of the celebrated case. The old matter of the Taylor and Flnley requisition wa3 revived again yesterday in certain newspapers, but at the Governor's office nothing official had been developed in the case. "It looks to me very much as If some of the papers wanted to get an advance decision on the Taylor-Finley requisition," said Governor Durbin, with a smile, "but they will not succeed. When the papers are laid right there on my desk I will examine them, but until that time I have not a word to say. Suppose I were to say now that if the requisition comes I will honor it. Of course, It would come at once. But, on the other hand. If I should declare that I would not honor such a document, do you think they would trouble to send it to me? With the procedure of the Governor of Kentucky I have nothing to do. It is his prerogative to issue a requisition on me. It is my prerogative, when the inquisition comes into my hands, to examine it and honor or reject it, as my conscience and reason may dictate." Dispatches from Kentucky state that Detective Jenkins Is on his way from Frankfort to Indianapolis, bearing a requisition for ex-Governor Taylor and ex-Secretary of State Charles Flnley.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) wagon with a dozen men. The wagon was stopped In front of the ravine and was surrounded by the crowd, the leader of .the men who held Alexander calling for silence. The roar ceased and Alexander was shoved forward for the crowd to gaze at. A howl went up which was quickly hushed as the prisoner raised his shackled hands and began to speak. Twice he started and the crowd drowned his trembling voice. "You are going to kill me,' whatever I say," he said, "but you are wrong. I want to tell you right now you've got the wrong man. I did not do that, and some day you men will run up against the man who did. I know it ain't any use to say so, for you're going to kill me, but I didn't do it." CHAINED TO THE STAKE. The men standing behind him shoved him from the wagon and the roar that went up drowned every other command. The negro was quickly driven down the embankment to the pile o wood with his hands shackled, and there bound to the stake, j-ong before t.e wagon containing the doomed man arrived at the place a crowd had gathered. Many carried rails and boards. Several seized railroad Irons and carried them to the ravine. Ine spot chosen for the stake was on the exact spot on w.ilch Pearl Forbes's body was found on the morning of Nov. 7. It is on Lawrence avenue near the Santa Fe track and a hundred yards north of Spruce street. The first thing done was to plant the railroad iron upright in the mud. This was made fast to cross-irons firmly bound to the upright Iron with wire. Around the improvised stake wood and boards were piled. To this the man was dragged ana chained in a standing position to the upright railroad Iron. Chains and Irons were wrapped about him, and, with his hands still shackled, he was made fast to the post. Coal oil was then poured over him and the match touched to him. Before the match was applied John Forbes, the father of Pearl Forbes, stepped up to Alexander and said: "Are you guilty of murdering my daughter?" "I don't know what you have me here for," said the doomed man. Forbes replied: "For killing my girl on this very spot." "Mr, Forbes. If that Is your name, you have the wrong man." "Burn him! Burn him!" cried the crowd. "Gentlemen, you've got lots of time," said Mr. Alexander. "You're burning an innocent man. You took advantage of me. You gave me no show. Can I see my mother?" A man In the crowd called for the moth er, but she was not in the crowd. Then he said: "Will you let me shake hands with all my friends?" "You have no friends In this crowd, you damned beast," said one of the men In charge of the negro. "If you have any thing to eay, do so in a hurry." Another man then stepped up and said to Alexander: "Make your peace with God, nigger, for you will surely die." MORE COAL OIL USED. Coal oil was then applied for the second time,' and while It was being done, Alex ander called to friends In the crowd and told them good-bye. He did not seem to realize that he was to be burned at the stake, and talked rationally until John Forbes, the father of the murdered girl. lighted the match. Again Alexander was asked to make a confession, but he replied that he had nothing to say. As the flames leaped about him, Alexander the first time realized that his deatl was near. He clasped his hands together and began to swing to and fro, while the crowd yelled. In less that five minutes he was hanging limp and lifeless by the chains that bound him. As soon as the crowd saw that life was extinct it began slowly to disperse. There were hundreds of the morbid, however, who staid to the last. Men kept piling on wood all the time, un til about 7 o'clock, when the flames were allowed to die down. From 6 to 8 o'clock there was a continuous stream of people going to the scene of the burning. These were persons who had been unable to get away from their work In the afternoon. but were determined not to miss seeing the awful spectacle. When the fire had died down sufficiently to allow the crowd to approach what remained of Alexander, there was a wild scramble to obtain relics, bits of charred flesh, pieces of chain, scraps of wood everything that could possibly serve as a souvenir was relzed on with morbid eager ness. TRIED TO AVERT MOD LAW. Governor Stanley's Efforts to Prevent the Lynching. LEAVENWORTH, Jan. 15. Governor Stanley was In telephone consultation with Warden Tomlinson all yesterday. The Gov-

ernor seemed very anxious to preserve the name of Kansas from any mob'llstsrace. It

was understood that yesterday morning he nstructed Warden Tomlinson to refuse to deliver Alexander to the sheriff, but to af ford him proper protection. About 3 o clock the warden notified the Governor that he had delivered the prisoner Into the hands of the sheriff. The Gover nor, It is said, was Incensed at the warden s failure to oby Instructions. The Governor was anxious to send militia to preserve order, but he was assured by Leavenworth men. who waited on him that It wouM aggravate the trouble. Just before the party left the penitentiary for the Jail the warden requested and re ceived the following receipt from Sheriff Everhordy for the delivery of Alexander: "The warden of the State penitentiary' holds the following receipt for the prisoner. Fred Alexander: " 'Received from J. B. Tomlinson. warden of Kansas State Penitentiary, the boJy of one Fred Alexander, who has oeen in custodv of said warden for safekeeping since 10 p. m., Jan. 12. 1901. I hereby represent to said Tomlinson that I am prepared to and will get protection :o the life and body of said Alexander against mob violence to the full extent of the powers vested In me by law. " The sheriff was taken sick during the excitement at the county jail and Is now confined to his bed. Admittance to the loom Is denied and a statement from him tonight is unobtainable. The sheriff rsked the Governor for the State miliua by tele phone and the Governor replied that he would send the militia, but would require a written request or a telegraph message This for some reason, it is Bali, was not done. There was no request made for the pro tection of United States troops trom Fort Leavenworth. The sheriff, upon requesting the delivery of Alexander to h'.m, Kald that he thought he would be able to protect the life of the prisoner and the werden upon this assurance turned him Over. About 9 o clock the coroner and two po licemen went and got the remains, taking them to an undertaker's establishment. The coroner's Jury has been named, but the inquest will not be held for a few days. The remains were viewed by thousands, and up to the time they were taken away the carriages and vehicles were continually passing by the spot. No expressions of regret or pity were heard from any source. CAUSE OF THE LYNCHING. Alexander Accused of Assaulting Two Women nnd Kllllnff One. LEAVENWORTH. Kan.. Jan. 13. Fred Alexander was arrested for attempting to assault Miss Eva Roth on Saturday night last and he was charged with the assault and murder, Nov. 6, of Pearl Forbes. Miss Roth was employed as seamstress In one of the large stores, and was returning home after work. Alexander had followed her for several blocks, when, to throw him off the track, she entered a neighbor's house a few blocks from her home. Later, believing that he had left. Miss Roth again started for home. When at a point nearly opposite the residence of Prof. Evans, of the High School, a fashionable district on South Broadway, she was again met by Alexander, who seized her around the throat and bore her to the ground. In fall ing his fingers slipped from her throat long enough to enable her to cry for help. Her cry was heard by Prof. Evans, but when he had reached the spot the negro had fled. A crowd soon gathered, among them a col ored girl, who said the man's name was Alexander. Alexander was soon captured and taken to the police station. News of the assault spread rapidly and it was not long until the streets about the Jail were crowded with excited men, determined to lynch Alexander. The police in the meantime, however, had spirited Alexander away and when the doors were broken in he was not to be found. The police had placed him in a hack and driven rapidly away to the state penitentiary at Lansing. Before he was taken to the penitentiary Miss Roth had confronted her assailant and Identified him. The mob dispersed when it became apparent that an assault upon the penitentiary would prove futile. M w Sunday at a secret meeting, attended by people of all classes, a vigilance committee was formed. Its avowed purpose was to lynch Alexander when he should be brought back to Leavenworth for trial, and to rid the city of the dozens of suspicious characters that had overrun it during the past month or so. Monday morning a mob began to gather about the penitentiary door. It grew In numbers during the day and as night approached a .determination to storm the walls was expressed freely. A majority of those present were armed, many with shotguns. To prevent the prisoner's being spirited away, guards were placed at the different entrances. In the afternoon, John Roth, father of Alexander's victim, had sworn out a warrant for the man's arrest, and the sheriff of Leavenworth had started to serve It, but turned back when he realized that he would not be able to bring his man back to Ieavenworth alive. Many citizens, among thm The father of Pearl Forbes, addressed the crowd, coun seling that the law be allowed to U'ke its course. They urged that the ienltentlary was strongly guarded, and that an attempt to reach the negro would result in the death of many Innocent people. Ihe speak crs were hooted at and ridiculed, out after midnight most of the crowd dispersed. Many, however, remained about the prison walls all night, and to-day their numbers swelled with each hour. Later, when it became known- that Sheriff Everhardy, of Ieavenworth. would come for the prisoner. the mob increased in size rapidly and be came so formidable that Governor Stanley, in response to a telegram from Warden Tomlinson, ordered two companies ot mili tia to be in readiness to start foi Leaven wcrth at a moment's notice. Grvernor Stanley ordered Warden Tomlinson to re fuse to turn Alexander ovr to the sheriff unless he agreed in writing to protect him Shortly after noon Sheriff Ever'naroy and his deputies started to the penitentiary. determined to bring the negro to Leaven worth for als trial. The fact was soon in the mouths of hundreds of people along the line and they hurried to the scene. The assault and murder of Pearl Forbes occurred on Nov. 6 last Miss Forbes, who was twenty years old, was employed In a candy factory. She had started from work at 6 o clock, walking, as was her custom She failed to reach home that night and her body was found in a ravine near her home on the following morning. Marks on the throat indicatea that she had been murdered by strangulation, and the sur roundings gave evidence of a terrible strug gle. She had first been assaulted. Several arrests were made, but no clew to the crim lnal could be found. The scene of this crime was but a few blocks distant from the spot where Alexander attacked Miss Roth, and Alexander, when arrested, was accused of both offenses. In the penitenti ary he was sweated severely in an effort to make him admit the Forbes crime, but he steadfastly insisted that he had nothing to do with lt. Miss Forbes was the daugh ter of William Forbes, a contracting car penter. SHERIFF II LAMED. That Official Severely Denounced by Governor Stanley. TOPEKA, Jan. 15. Governor Stanley Is very indignant over the lynching at Leavenworth. He says It will result in the death penalty in Kansas, as It should do, Governor Stanley condemns Sheriff Everhardy, of Leavenworth, In unmeasured terms. He says the sheriff should be made to make suitable retribution, If euch a thing would be possible. "The sheriff of Leavenworth is either a despicable scoundrel or a despicable coward," said the Governor to-night. "There was rft reason in the world why the negro should not have been protected to the last. The whole militia power of the State would be devoted to that effort, ami the sheriff knew It all the time. I ordered the militia of Lawrence and Topeka to be ready, an 1 they would have been sent to the scene of the trouble the minute the sheriff would say he needed them. "Instead of that, however, the sheriff was very sure that he could guard the man. Upon receiving repeated assurances from Sheriff Everhardy that he could and would protect the prisoner to the last I very reluctantly countermanded the order for the troops to go to Leavenworth. The warden of the penitentiary had no right to keep Alexander there, as he had been convicted of no crime. He could do nothing else than deliver nlm to the sheriff when that individual Insisted that It should be done. But the life of the negro should have been pre served at all hazards, nnd it Is to the last ing shame of the great State of Kansas that such an infamous proceeding should have been allowed to take place, within a few miles of the capital city.

BT more galling than ever is the fact that w had ample militia, forces with which the terribie tragedy could have been averted. The sheriff is to blame and, nobody else. 1 could not very well end the troops there in the face of the repeated assurances of the sheriff that they were not needed &nd not wanted. Of course, I would have Fent them anyway If I had known the facts, notwithstanding the assurances of thft sherifT. or ordered Warden Tomlinson to hold the prisoner a short time longer. But It is done now, and to the fair State of Kansas belongs the di5grace. It Is awful, simply awful. Things like this have happened in the South many times, but they do not seem o horrible there as they do here, where nothing of the kind had ever been thought of. When occurrences like this happen right here in our own State Jt brings us to face the fact that romethlns must be done." Governor Stanley gave utterance to th thought that the burning of Alexander would not have taken place if the peoplo of Leavenworth had been persuaded that the negro would have been hanged if proven . guilty of the crime. "I have no doubt that he was guilty," said the Governor, "and that he deserved death, but that death should have been administered Ht the hands of the law. The death penalty miift be restored In Kansas, esd then things of this kind will not happen. I am going to do all I can to restore tho death penalty, ami I think this awful happening will bring the legislators - to tha tame opinion." Most of the members of the State Legl.'lature, when Interviewed to-night. expresej the same Idea as Governor Stanley with regard to the restoration of the death penalty. They all condemned the burning of the negro and expressed the greatest regret that the affair should have taken place. They say that the only way to avoid future acts of the kind will be to make it posgibla to hang a man for the commission of capital crime. The Judiciary committee of thi Senate announced to-night that a bill would be prepared making death tho penalty for murder and alo for rape caws where force was used. It without doubt will become a law In a few days. Dr. F. S. Neely. mayor of Leavenworth, was in Toneka when the news came of tha lynching of Alexander. After talking: with, Leavenworth parties about the affair over the telephone Dr. Neely Mid: "I am not surprised that Alexander was mobbed. I expected they would hang him and am surprised and pained that they should havo resorted to the stake. There 1 no doubt that Alexander murdered Pearl Forbes, and the police knew that he has assaulted or attempted to assault five othef Leavenworth women. The people demanded his life. It was simply a question of time. When Alexander was taken to the penitentiary the people said. They can't keep him there. We'll get him.' The sheriff could not possibly have saved th nesro from the mob with deputies. They talked of sending two companies of militia to protect the prisoner. Had It been done the people would have lynched the negro ju?t the same. A regiment could not have saved him from the fury of the outraged people' Asked .what tho city would do toward punishing the mob leaders. Dr. Ne?'y sai that was a subject he had not yet considered. Governor Stanley to-night announced thai he would to-morrow morning offer a reward of for the apprehension of anyone implicated in the lynching of Alexander at Leavenworth. The Governor further stated that he was sorry he could not offer a larger reward, but the Itw only allows him to offer &X. He said that he was also going to instruct the attorney general at once to investigate the conduct of Sheriff Everhardy in connection with the lynching, and if it was found that the sheriff had in any way violated his trust as an official, proceedings would be instituted to oust him from oSlce.
