I ARE ONLY TWO ALTERNATIVES A Special Meeting of tho Board .Must Bo Convened or the Uovernor Allow Bczck a Lunger Lease of Life. Money fur lliin Coming. Tin1 next- meeting ot the board of par dons will be on Wednesday, ami It la said that no other meeting will be held until September. That Is an unfortu nate matter for Murderer Frank Bezek, whose execution Is set for Aug. 1, and unless a special meeting for his benefit Is convened by the board, or unless the governor shall grant a stay of execu tion, Bezek will go to the gallows with out another chance. The law requires that notice of ap plication to the board of pardons must be published for three consecutive weeks before the meeting at which the case Is to be called up. No notice hns yet been made of the Intention to seek a pardon for the condemned man, be cause no money had Ibeen, until a few days ago, available, Edmund A. Hartl received a cable gram from Hczek's father announcing that money Is coming to assist the con demned man. Another difficulty and a serious one has presented Itself; the witnesses, particularly .Mrs. Kramer, the dead glii's sinter, have left for parts un known, ami their depositions have not been taken. It was expected that some of those -who gave testimony against Bezek at his trial, said after ward that they per.lured themselves, and It such could be brought properly before the "board of pardons, It might cause the board to b lenient with Be zek.

He went to his home Unshed with victory carrying with him the echoes ot the thunderous plaudits which WIIUes-Burreans are exceedingly careful not to bestow upon Inferior ai-tlfts.

(Under this heading short letters of In terest will be published when accompa nied, for publication, by. tho writer's name. The Trlhuno will not be held re sponsible for opinions here expressed.) Dlstrict Attorney Offers a Reward. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Information has reached me from a reliable source, that a. certain incuviuuai, whose Identity cannot yet be discovered. has for somo time been going among the Illegal dealers In liquors throughout this county and personating Mr. Lcyshon, the county detective, and demanding money from them under threats of prosecution In cose of their refusal to pay tribute. He appears to have visited only thoso portions of the county where, as yet, the county detective Is least known, and he Is report ed to have collected considerable money by this means of extortion. It seems strange that he should have been so suc cessful, when Mr. Leyshon's reputation as a faithful officer and as one who would not, under any circumstances, stoop to the low and criminal practice of extortion, Is so well known In this county. For this reason I had supposed thut It would be Im possible for any Individual to personate the present, county detective for such a base and ignoble purpose. Extortion, or as It Is known In the parlance of the street, bleeding." Is a miserable crime nnd should be promptly nnd severely punished. I will offer a reward of $50 to any person who will furnish siihlclent evidence to con vict said unknown person, or any other person, who shull have personated the county detective and succeeded in secur ing money by means of extortion.

They returned on the Ameii- COL. HENRY M. BOIES. can liner Paris and reached here Sat urday evening on the (1.05 Lackawanna train from New York. At the station they were greeted by many friends. Although ordinarily a vigorous man, Colonel Boles' appearance now be tokens much physical benefit from his long jaunt. He Is the very picture of health, and that he has walked and been alert to see new things In old lands Is shown by an ubsence of avolr dpols which gives him a new activity denied to men. much younger. Congratulations of Muny Friends. At their home on Clay avenue Colonel and Mrs. Bolc-s yesterday received by ihessage and In person congratulations upon their safe return from a host of friends. To a Tribune reporter Colonel Boles said: . 'I am not a plaglatirt when I say I am glad to return to the best, the most beautiful and the most glorious country on the face of the globe. We have had u delightful trip enjoyed every minute of It and have returned physically and Intellectually Improved, but there Is no place like America and home. No, there was nothing to mar the enjoy ment of our long Journey, excepting during Wednesday night onhe Atlan tic, when we steamed Into or near a Meld of Icebergs, two ot which we saw, and passed an uneasy night, during which I did not occupy my berth. On that day wo sighted two gigantic bergs and plunged into water registering 34 degrees and a fog so dense that one standing midway between stem and stern could not see the bow of the boat. Very few slept, and life preservers and the log boaits were made ready, but we passad through the fog and cold with out accident. We were travelers on as many as eight seagoing steamers Bnd the Incident mentioned was the only one of Its kind encountered. ' New. Pleasant and Instructive. "I cannot tell you which of the coun tries visited we liked the best It was all new, pleasant and instructive and we were constantly fortunate In meet ing persons we knew or who had friends known to us. It Impressed me anew with the fact that the world is really small, but that our country and citizens occupy a large portion of It. "We were surprised to find It so cold in Italy when we first lnnded, and so posted off south across the Mediter ranean to Algiers and later went five or six hundred miles up the Nile. Here we experienced our first tropical weath er and also a simoon, which, as a sand storm, Is all that Is claimed for it. Dust In America is not -sand In Africa; there, a simoon rolls up a hurricane of sand ns line as Hour, which Is unreslstlble and of a volume as dense as rain. "In Syria we saw a strange people and a country both barren and verdant, especially Illustrated along the Judean mountains, whose sides are cleared of trees by fire, and of rocks by storm and ages. All that Is beautiful seems to have been pushed by the elements down Into great, beautiful valleys, un occupied even by scattered dwellings. An Armenian Episode. "We arrived In an Armenian port three days after the bombastic governor of the province had been treated to a samr.'le kf AmeMcan 'liberty by. old Admiral Klrkland, nnd had been told thnt 'he would get his d old town pulled down on his ears' If there was any more persecution of American subjects. Maybe the old admiral's lan guage was not choice, but It was em phatic, nnd made American travelers feel quite comfortable. Here we wero in a party of thirty or forty, which In cluded several counts and other titled persons of France and Germany, and with whom we noticed no absence of deference and respect to Americans. It was a pleasant party and nil wero travelers. Together we chartered a special train Into the Interior, and were accompanied, at his own request, by an officer, whose rank Is similar to that of a chief of police. He talked no Eng lish and we talked no Turkish, so we did not quarrel. "From Aslastlo Turkey we came homeward, doing Italy, I'russla, Ger many and France. In the larger cities, like Paris, Berlin and Vienna, we made stops of from one week to ten days, finally reaching London, when we made our last long stop." To the .reporter Mrs. Boles remarked that to her the dearest sight on the trip was Handy Hook, nnd behind it New York Bay, with its green sldeB and here and there the stars and stripes fluttering forth a welcome.
