March 31 Funeral services for the late Justice David Brewer, of the United States supreme court, were ' held this afternoon at the hon:c at 1 o'clock. In keeping with the wish of the jurist, the serv ices were of the simplest character, The Rev. Samuel H. Woodrow offic iated, assisted by the Rev. F. M Newman, ; ' All the members of tne supreme court, with the exception of Justice Moody, who is ill, attended In body and acted as - honorary pall bearers. . President Tart, the justices, the family, and a few of Justice Brew ers most Intimate friends, besides eprcsentatives from the department of justice, the district courts, and the judiciary committees of the house and senate were present. Immediately after the services the body was taken to Union station, where it was placed on the western express, which leaves at 3:40 for Leavenworth, Kansas. A special car attached to the ex press was provided for the members of the immediate family, Mrs. Brew er, Mr. and Mrs. James L. Karrick, Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Wells, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Hall and Mrs. H. B. Jet more. The train will arrive in Leaven worth Saturday morning, where serv es will be held in the First Congre itional church.. Interment will be In Mount Muncie cemetery, beside the graves of Justice Brewer's first wife Hid her daughter, Frances. It was originally intended that the members of the supreme court, head ed by Chief Justice Fuller, would ac- orupany the body to Leavenworth, but this plan was abandoned. Marshal J. M. Wright and Deputy Clerk Maher, of the supreme court, have charge of the funeral arrange ments here and at Leavenworth and accompanied the party. Justice Asn ley M, Gould, of the district supreme court also accompanied the family. The supreme court will reconvene Monday, and business will be trans acted as usual. .At a later... da.- tiie court will hold memorial services in honor of Justice Brewer. Shemwell s Sentence Is Commuted . (Continued From Page One.) . Conductor said; "You will never have any better opportunity than now." Shemwell had his pistol drawn. Conductor had only his ticket punch. Shemwell, after the pistol was drawn, backed about five seats to his seat, followed by the con ductor. Shemwell saying, "If you come on me I'll shoot," or "Don't come on me or I'll shoot." Shem well backed into his seat, holding the gun on the conductor, who slapped himself on the breast, telling Suem well to shoot, that he bad been a Con federate soldier, had looked down Gatling guns, etc. Conductor called attention of two passengers to Shem well's threatening him -with pistol and Shemwell said, "You havo your punch." Conductor then went through the train. The two passen gers whose attention had been call ed, then had some words with Shem well about his drawing his gun in the Pullman car. Thereafter .Shemwell got his other pistol out of grip, put it also in his pocket, took his grip and went out on the platform and there remained. Conductor stopped train at Thomasville and wired Lexington to the police there to take charge of the party (Shemwell). Thereafter the conductor, and one of the above referred to passengers and a Pulluia conductor appeared on the platform where Shemwell was. He already had one pistol out, and when tiie Pullman conductor also appeared, he drew the other plBtol. The conductor told him to step aside and put up his pistol. The conductor stood there a little while and passed on. The con ductor stated, and his conduct shows he was not intimidated. The jury convicted and sentence to five months in jail was pronounced. At the same court he was placed under a two thousand dolar bond to appear at stated Intervals lor three years to show that be (tad not carried conceal' ed. weapons. . "' . -: . .';-iU , As I view it, the only material con tradiction Was as to the first drawing of the pistol. . According to Shem well. he went forward and found, the conductor In the wash room as if her ginning to wash his hands. Shem well said he had a through ticket to Lexington, had been stopping at Lex ington and wanted to get off there. The conductor in a rough, abrupt manner, said, "This train is 'not go ing to stop at Lexington. Shemwell backed out of the little aisle into the main body of the car; conductor followed; Shemwell stopped. ' Con ductor pulled his punch over S.ieni- well. Saemwell drew his pistol and told the conductor to put uphis punch. Shemwell put his yistol in his pocket again when in main aisle. conductor following him, Saemwell pulled bis pistol and told conductor not to approach him with that punch. When Guilford court met last De cember, it being the term at which, owing to the decision of the supreme court, tile sentence was to begin, prisoner was at Hot Springs, Arkan sas, for treatment for rheumatism, to which place he bad been compelled to go frequently in the last several years for such treatment. Application, had theretofore been made for commuta tion of sentence on the ground of his physical condition from rheumatism and neurasthenia, supported by cer tificates of reputable physicans. Af ter published notice according to the rules, which brought forth only one protest, an affidavit being filed that his condition was worse in winter than in warm weather, upon careful consideration, I granted- a reprieve till April 1st, thinking His health then might not forbid the execution of the sentence. About a month ago, prisoner s at torney came to see me, and informed me that a new application would be made. 1 informed him that in that case I desired to select some physi cians to examine prisoner, and was assured that prisoner would permit any reputable physician to examine him at any time. I then named the county physician of Guilford, and two of the most eminent physicians in Raleigh. In due time prisoner ap peared in Raleigh. The two physi cians selected by me, declined to ex- mine him. I then selected two other prominent physicians - of this ' city. Upon prisioner's presenting himself to them, he failed to secure an ex amination, although they were In formed that the governor 'desired it. While I was anxious to get tae opin ion of these physicians, I do not blame them tor declining, for one must naturally shrink from a case of such great notoriety in which the ap plicant has been so greatly censured by the press 1 would shrink from it, if the constitution and the law did not place the responsibility upon me - a responsibility to be discharged upon ray judgment on the facts dis closed in an orderly manner before me. I have succeeded, however, in having five skillful physicians to ex amine prisoner since the pending ap plication was made. I requested the published notice of the application to state that prisoner would submit to an examination by any reputable physician, but no one has requested further examination. The notice also invited those who oppose clemency to forward protests . to the governor. Fifteen gentlemen, Including the one in December, have written filing pro test against commutation, some thinking one's physical condition should not be considered. The solicitor protests against com mutation unless his physical condi tion is such that the sentence will be cruel' punishment, or seriously im pair his health, and the solicitor thinks from his observation of the man that his troubles are due to ex treme nervousness. The trial judge writes that there was no evidence before him of ny physical trouble; that if such evi dence had been presented to him he would have given careful considera tion before pronouncing judgment, but that as no such evidence was be fore him, he prefers to let the gov ernor pass upon it without sugges tion from aim. I; deem it proper to now give a summary of the physi cians' certificates concerning Shem well's condition. Dr. A. S. Garnett, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, whd as he is a non-resi dent of this state, I will say after due Inquiry, is an eminent physician and gentleman of the highest integ rity and character, states that he has treated Baxter Shemwell, that he suf fers from rheumatism and neuraa- U6HIL ooi:;ss' it ' TOUT TMUHD Creating Much Excitement in" That Section. There Is much excitement at Fort Wayne, Ind., these days , over a new discovery that is curing scores of people who hare suffered for years with some 'chronic trouble.-: Many who had lost hope of ever seeing an other well day have recovered health In a short while, and hundreds of people are crowding Into that ' city from all the surrounding country to get some of the health-promoting tjuice.. Many are telling of wonder ful Cures it, has made. It seems that the discovery is: principally composed of roots; therefore, It is called Root Juice. An old lady who had suf fered for twenty years with rheuma tism and was unable to walk, after taking the Juice a short while was re stored to perfect health and can now get around as well as any one of her age. Nearly, every one who 8 u Hera with stomach, liver and kidney trou bles say that a few doses of the med icine relieves them of every painful symptom. After taking It a few week? they say that they are positive ly cured. Numbers of people are writing to the scientist from all parts of the country and inviting him to appoint a local druggist to demon strate the . great health-promoting Juice in their towns. .'' tbenia, and that In his opinion im prisonment will greatly impair . his health and endanger his life. Dr. E. J. Buchanan, Lexington, has treated Shemwell for rheumatism and nervous, indigestion and thinks close confinement would greatly im pair his health and endanger bis life. Dr. W. J. Vestal, of Lexington, prisoner's brother-in-law, says he suffers from rheumatism and neuras thenia .and believes imprisonment will be very injurious to his health and may jeopardize his life. Dr. M. C. Mlllender, of Asheville, says he has a marked hypertrophy of the heart, thinks it is the result of repeated attacks of rheumatism, thinks the Important artery that feeds the heart is Inflamed, and thinks imprisonment 1 under these conditions in one of his temperament will soon seriously Impair his health and jeopardize his life. The foregoing from physicians who know : Ifim well, were on file when the reprieve was granted last December. I' Dr. Edmunii Harrison, who on the 7th of this month was county super intendent of health of Guilford, after two examinations, about one week apart, on that 'day found Shem well's heart action extremely bad, with very rapid, nervous, irregular contraction, and his nervous system In worse condition than his heart, with inabil ity to control his feelings, muscular tremors and general evidence of a present or threatened neurasthenia, and found evidence of past attacks of rheumatism. He thinks close confinement would seriously imperil his health and mind. Dr. John Whitehead, of Salisbury, on March 14 th found Shemwell In a neurasthenic condition and believes that confinement will be very detri mental to his health. "On March 19th Drs. J. T. J. Battle and S. T. Brooks, of Greensboro, found Shemwell's general appearance and muscular condition good, ohest well formed and lungs normal; found a regular pulse 88 sitting and 98 standing, temperature 97.4. Found some nervousness. Found an evi dently enlarged heart with well de veloped murmur, showing organic disease, no after effects of rheuma tism, except possibly the heart les ion. - Found him below par and thought that hard work would prob ably prove detrimental. I at once wrote them that his sentence was to jail not to the roads and asked their opinion of confinement on his health Dr. Battle replied that upon a second examination he found Shemwell's condition the same,but owing to the notoriety of the matter, asked to be excused front further answering. Dr. Brooks wrote that the second exami nation showed practicaly the - same conditions, with a little more rapid pulse, and says he feels warranted In saying confinement will be detrimen tal to his health, but can not say whether it would or would not ser iously impair It. . .: '- Dr. A. F. Fortune, of Greensboro. the present superintendent of health of Guilford county, examined Shem well last Saturday and found enlarge-1 meat of the heart and a nervous con-1 dition and believes that confinement I will impair his health ' very mucii- With, the information before the Judge, the sentence was propfer. While I have never seen ' prisoner, with the information before-, me, of which tne Judge had- no benefit, I am I satisfied the execution of the sen tenced pronounced would be a pun ishment cruet and unusual for a mis- demeanor of the character of which! he was convicted, in his physical conr dition. So far as t have been able to ascertain, he had been In. the crimi nal, courts twice before, the occur rence of the matters heretofore above mentioned,' though both Items, were! fifteen years ago, or more. A jury after a' noted trial found . him- not guilty In the homicide case,-' He was convicted and fined in the other -case, which was an assault for drawing a pistol on a conductor to prevent be ing put off on account of trouble over a ticket. - About thirty years ago he and one of his uncles had a difficulty in which he was severely shot. His own pistol failed to fire, and he was not indict-1 ed, as I am informed. While, apply ing the same measure to him that has been and will be applied to others, prisoner should have commutation on the ground above- mentioned, for manifest reasons, he should, not en tirely escape the lesson of entering! jail. I., therefore commute the sen tence to five days in jail and a fine of $500, provided said fine and all costs are paid. , . W. W. K1TCH1N, ' Governor.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, March 31 With $70,- 000 of the $85,000 in stamps stolen from the Richmond, Va., postoffice last Sunday already recovered the police today declared that they were on the trail of the rest of the loot and would have it within a short lime. The robbers at the same time got away with $3,000 cash. A search of the fifth trunk 'belonging to the trio accused of the daring robbery- Eddie .Fay, the country's most no torious cracksman; Richard Harris, alias Frank Chester, and their ac complice, who was still atJarge to day revealed $17,500 worth of stamps, the police say. In the first) trunk captured was $27, In stamps, in the fourth $17,000, and In a valise, $8,500. The other two trunks located contained expensive clothing and the finest set of burglar tools that ever fell .into the hands of I the police, some carefully packed In tissue paper and' others encased In. I Morocco boxes like jewels. In the trunks, also, according to I the police, was evidence showing that the trio had planned a campaign of safe-cracking covering the entire south and southwest. Carefully kept uote books contained information concerning scored of rich southern and southwestern banks, with mucn Inside description, particularly re garding the mechanism of safes, and the watchmen. There were large scale maps, also, of many districts, anotated to show the best routes of escape. . The two prisoners today were still unable 'to furnish the $20,000 bail demanded of each when tbey were ar-l raigned before United States Com missioner Shields. The authorities today asserted that they bad a clew that would lead to the arrest of the third of the trio, who escaped when the others were -captured after a fight and a chase at the Grand Cen- tral station. - - There was considerable criticism made, today of the fact that Fay's I ball was fixed at only $20,000. It Is believed that if he can furnish it bondsman he will disappear and again the long chase .will be on. Hteamer Foundered. .

Will Remove the Loose Dandruff Scales But K Won't Cure Dandruff. If your hair is brittle and thinning. you have dandruff. The mere scour ing of the scalp of the loose scales, won't cure dandruff; because dan druff is nothing out scales of scalp I, being thrown up by a pestiferous lit tle germ In burrowing Its way to the oot of tne hair where it saps the vl tality, causing falling hair, and, in time, oaldness. Now you can't stop dandruff nor falling hair, nor prevent baldness unless you destroy that germ; and the only preparation that can do it is the new scientific discov ery, Newbro's Herpicide. In fact no other hair preparation claims to kill the dandruff germ all of them will clean the scalp; soap and water will do that, but only Newbro's Herpicide gets at the root of the trouble and kills the dandruff germ.
