CLARK DECLINES IT.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-Rumors which
have been rife ever since the Union Pa
cific was bought in by the reorganiza-
tion committee were set at rest today
by the announcement that S. H. H.
Clark had declined the presidency of
that road. Today Mr.. Clark announced
that his decision was final. III health,
duu to the heavy work imposed on him
for many years, is the reason given for
his refusal to accept the presidency.
Mr.. Clark sewers all connection with
the Union Pacific, and will remain in
St. Louis. It was not known whether
or not he will return to the Missouri
Pacific, of which he was vice president
and general manager for many years.

Northern Pacific, in the place hereto
fore held by Mr.. Clark. was partly con-
firmed at the Omaha headquarters of
the Union Pacific. The actual head of
the corporation, it is said, is to be Mar
tin Hughitt, president of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway, who is to
become chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Union Pacific.
The other names mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency are Horace
G. Burt, Edward Dickinson, William
n. Truesdale and Oliver w. Mink. 1t
isa significant fact that Horace G..
Burt, third vice president of the North
western system, has recently arrived
here and established temporary head
quarters.
President CLARK did not come to
Omaha yesterday, as had been expected.
1t is currently reported that his physi-
clan opposed his risking himself in the
cold weather prevailing hereabouts and
insisted on his remaining in St. Louis.

Dlstillers to Limit the output.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. AT meeting of
the Kentucky Distillers' association,
called to consider the question of re.
stricting production for term of three
years, plan was mapped out by which
to keep down the output $1,000, 900 to
30,0OO,OO0 gallons yearly. In some
years the production has been over 40,
100000 gallons. Those present signed
an agreement to accept fair allotment
on the basis of their capacity, and com.
mittees were appointed to apportion out
the amount for each distiller. 1t was
decided that this must be done if the
trade was to be preserved from panic.
It was also agreed to work for lower
tax. The meeting was largely attended.

THORN FOUND GUILTY
JURY BRINGS IN A VERDICT OF MUIR
DER IN FIRST DEGREE.
Jury Remained In Deliberatlon Three
Hours-Motion For New Trial Ov err
ruled-Passase of the Death Sentence
Deferred by Request of His Attorney.

New YORK, Dec. Thorn was late
yesterday afternoon convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree for the killing
Of William Guldensuppe, at Woodside,
L. l., on June 20. At the request of
Thorn's counsel the passage of the
death sentence was deferred until next
Friday. Thorn heard the jurymen
polled on their verdict, the trying Or
deal. With lips firmly compressed and
laws hard set he faced the judge, jury
and courtroom full of spectators with
well-feigned stoicism.
About three weeks ago Thorn's first
trial on the charge of murder was be-
gun, but owing to the illness of juror
it had to be abandoned after three days.
A second trial opened week ago last
Monday and, counting out three days
on which the court did not sit, the trial
consumed only six days.
Mrs. Nack's testimony during the
mistrial made it compulsory for Thorn 8
lawyers to change their line of defense

Minister Angel, however, insists upon

Guldensuppe haa oeen snot py mrs.
Mack. The woman was not produced
during the second trial, but Thorn went
on the stand and substantiated all the
assertions made by his lawyers as to the
midwife's guilt. His story, as the YER
dict shows, did not have the desired
effect upon the jurymen. Judge Mad
dox's charge was carefully prepared and
well delivered. It was acknowledged
by the lawyers for the prisoner to be
extremely lucid, fair and impartial.
The jury remained in deliberation
Just three hours, when they sent word
to the judge that they were ready to
render verdict.
"Guilty of the charge PREFERRED"
were the ominous words which fell
from the lips of the foreman. Thorn's
lawyer moved for new trial on the
ground that the verdict was not in ac-
cordance with the weight Of evide nee,
but the motion was overruled. just
what will become of Mrs. Mack has not
been made known by the Queens
county officials, but it is generally ac-
cepted that the people will accept plea
from her which will not call for capital
punishment.
Thorn Admits His Guilt.
When Martin Thorn had been led
back to his cell after the conviction he
admitted that the verdict was just and
that he and not Mrs. Mack killed Gull
densuppe. This acknowledgements of
guilt took place while Thorn's cell in
the Jail was being prepared for him.
During the trial Thorn has been under
charge of Police Captain Methven of
Flushing. Captain Methven had him
under his watchful eye when the Jail
officials searched the cell Thorn is to
occupy for Il day or two. While this
was being done Thorn talked with the
police captain. He said: Il am glad
it is over and the verdict given. l am
convicted and am contented. It was
l who killed Guldensuppe and l believe
that every word that Mrs. Mack said
upon the stand was substantially cor
rect. When l was on the stand I lied
when telling the story as l did, but 1
lied to clear myself. 1t is no use carry
ing it any further. l am guilty and am
convicted. 1t is what 1 expected and
what suppose people think 1 deserve
and perhaps do"
