HE WILL ENFORCE THE LAW
Governor Budd Is Personally Opposed to
Capital Punishment
Modern Death. Dealing nachine for Murderers
Not Severe Enough-Cigarettes
on the Oallows

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-Much COM
ment has been occasioned by Governor
Budd's communication to l. Italia in re-
gard to capital punishment, which was
printed in the Call. In this letter the
governor said
while am personally opposed to CAPT
tai punishment, am, nevertheless. COM
PEELED to enforce the law of the state.
This statement was viewed with alarm.
Many lawyers began to question the right
of Mr.. Budd to act as governor. They
argued that since, as man, Mr.. Budd
had conscientious scruples against taking
human life, he might, at moment OF
grave importance, yield to his personal
pred Elections at the expense of the law.
But the governor has put a II their fears
to fight. Today he explained that it was
true that he was opposed to capital pun
ishment. 1t was. however beause kill ng
was not severe enough.
"Look at these murderers," said he,
''who walk to the galows with cigarett
in their mouths and ribald iests on their
lips. To be hang is not SO very painful.
The suspense of dying is soon over.
GAS l said, I am opposed to capital
punishment. But at the same time
would not have 1t done away with, be.
cause there is at present no fitting pen
atty that could be inflicted in its stead"

Some Obstacles That Stand in the Way OF

tions of the treaty. John w. Foster, Amer

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Russian reason

ton of Port Arthur the japanese will
dominate Manchura as effectually as if
she held the nominal title to the prov
ince. Reserving Port Arthur as military
base and opening great commercial port
at Talienwan, the japanese will connect
the latter by rail with New Chwang on
the line of the projected Chinese railroad
from Peking to Moukden and divert the
entire trade of New Chwang and Mouk
den, at least in winter, when all of the
Manchurian ports are closed. 1t would
also be impossible for Russia to locate
western terminal port for the Siberian
railway anywhere in Manchuria, as it
would be easily closed by the japanese
from their powerful base at Port Arthur,
which would dominate from military
point of view, not only Manchuria and
the Gulf of Pechili, but also Wei Hal Wei.
