Trying to Escape the Pen.

DIES MONIES, May 19.-An effort is
being made to have Munchrath, one OF
the men connected with the murder OF
Haddock at Sioux City, pardoned. The
supreme court has sustained the deci-
sion of the lower court, which con-
victed him of manslaughter, and he has
been out ON an appeal bond all this time,
not having served day of his sentence
in prison. Unless the governor interferes
he will soon have to go TO the peniten-
tary. So his Sioux City friends are try
ing to have him pardoned. He was the
only one of the gang of conspirators
convicted, and he was probably the least
wicked OF the whole lot. The man who
fired the fatal shot has never been con
victed. 1t is not thought that Governor
Boies will pardon Munchrath. as there
is no complaint that he didn't have a
fair trial, or that he was not legally con-
Victed,

As TO Adjournment.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-An impress.
sion prevails that the senate will be very
deliberate, as it was two years ago, and
not consent TO an adjournment under
August, even though it has accom-
plished all it hopes to in the way of leg
islation before the middle of July. Sem
ators Teller, Allison and other leaders
say the senate will not remain in session
one day longer than is absolutely neces-
sary in order TO do the work before it.
There is certain work which the pre-.
dominant party is pledged to do at this
session, and this must be done whether
the political fences of members are kept
up or not The republicans have the
legislative branch of the government
and presidency and the country natur-
ally expects certain legislation. 1t will
not do to disappoint the majority, even
though the session is months longer
than it appears necessary or convenient.

drive over the land owned and occupied
by the Crow creek Sioux will convince
anyone as to the good work the mis-
sionaries are doing for the advance
ment and civilization OF the mobile
redmen." This Indian reservation lies
on the eastside of the Missouri river,
north OF the city, and it contains some
of the choicest lands in the state for

white mans way Of living, and now oc-
cupy comfortable houses, which were
constructed for them by the govern
ment. The bucks have nearly all taken
to farming. and some very thrifty farms
can be seen on the reservation. These
Indian are very industrious, much more
so than tho usual run OF Indians, and
the government agents in charge of
them are doing everything possible to
encourage them in the art OF farming
and providing for their own wants. 1t
is estimated that in the next few years
they will become entirely self-support-
ing. and will no longer require the ra-
tlons issued TO them now weekly by the

strange vicissitudes. She was married
in 1919 to Viscount Kingsland. the

ion was raised and a government PEN
lion of $3.50 year purchased for her,

DolPh's Anti-Free Coinage Views Cri.
tieised by Teller and MITCHELL

WASHINGTON, May 90. The silver bill
being under discussion in the senate
Mr.. Dolph made an address He thought
that international bimetallism was de-
sirable. So far as he knew there was
not member of the senate who was not
in favor OF both gold and silver as
money. In considering the various plans
proposed he was satisfied that the plan
proposed by the secretary Of the treasu-
ry was open to less and fewer objections
than any OF the others II the purpose
was to keep both gold and silver coin in
circulation. He argued against the free
coinage OF silver as something that
would stop the coinage of gold, but re-
marked that what he said in regard to
Tree coinage did not, of course, apply to
Tree coinage under an international
agreement establishing Il ratio between
gold and silver.
AT the close Of Mr.. Dolph's speech,
Mr.. Teller criticised some points OF il
and said 1t would not do for that senator
or for any other senator to say with
JUNCTION that he was for the double
standard or for silver and then favor
measures which were absolutely de-
structive Of silver as money He did
deceived into believing that the PROPOSE
tion which came from the finance COM
mittee, meant silver at ALL On the con-
trary, he asserted, that it meant sim
gle gold standard.
Mr.. Mitchell expressed his dissent
from the views expressed by his COL
league, Mr.. Dolph, saying: Il desire
to state, for whatever it amounts to here
and elsewhere-it may not amount to
much-that l dissent from the speech
just made, in toto, and | wish that d s.
tinctly understood. The two state con-
ventions that recently met in the state
OF Oregon, one republican state con-
vention, the other democratic con-
vention, each resolved unanimously,
without any hesitation, or equivoca-
ton, whatever, that they were in favor
OF the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. / believe that each of these
conventions was composed OF the rep
resentative men of the respective par
ties OF our state. / believe that they
knew what they were about. | believe
they understood what they were doing.
l believe that in adopting those resolu-
lions they voiced the sentiment almos t
universally OF the people Of the state
OF Oregon. Therefore, do not desire
1t to go out that his speech here today
on this subject voices the whole of the
sentiment of the state OF Oregon, as
Tar as the representation of that state is
concerned on this floor. l expressed in
speech l made on January 90 last my
views on this question"
