The bouncing of the Hon. Charles A.
Busiel from the long list of vice-presi
dents of the Home Market Club is of
more consequence to the New Hamp-
shire ex-governor than to anybody else,
but he is making the circumstance
rather interesting to the club and to
outsiders Certain New Hampshire
politicians who cherish bitter grudge
against Mr.. Busiel have used the Home
Market Club as an instrument Of pun
ishment. The membership, as whole,
had no notion Of allowing the club to
be led into partisan politics. but per-
functorily and thougntlessly adopted
the motion to substitute another name
for Bushels. Very likely the club
wishes it hadn't.

Opposition to annexation, territorial
expansion, imperialism, or whatever it
may be called, is developing fast as the
meeting Of congress draws near. The
voice Of the east is strong in protest.
the south is coming UP with unexpect-
ed unanimity on the same side Of the
question, and even in the west a con-
servative opinion is making itself
heard. 1t has been a common remark
that the sentiment was with the ex-
pansionists, and the argument with
the opposition. Time is sometimes re-
quired for argument to assert its due
influence, but the American people have
generally allowed the requisite time
and accepted the argument. The dis
position of the expansionists to ignore
argument is not helping their cause,

1t will not be the fault of the agita-
tors if there is no currency legislation
by the next congress. They are eager
in their demands even for an extra ses-
sion, to deal with this subject, because
there is no possibility Of action by the
outgoing congress. The present would
be a convenient time for making certain
needed changes in the banking and cur
rency laws, but the temper of a faction
of the sound money forces gives little
encouragement to hope that the re-
forms can be brought about.

Henry Norman endorses the opinion
that the British liberal party has
abandoned home rule, at any rate until
time is given for judging of the eff
fects Of the Irish local government law
lately enacted by the conservatives
This is a setback for a certain class of
agitators both in Great Britain and the
United States, but it is also significant
of the fact that the liberal party is now
without a policy as well as without a
leader. Lord Rosebery is doubtless
ready to be recreated leader, but time
will be required for the development OF
an issue upon which a successful cam
paign can be carried on.

Glendale, who had been summoned to
tell what. kind of a reputation he en-
joyed in that community, the red headed
youth sat down beside his attorneys, N.
c. Burch and Lynn Helm, in Depart
ment one of the superior cours There
was sneaky look in his freckled face,
which is habitual there, and sullen ex-
preston, justified by the circumstance
of his presence in court. He looked any
thing but comfortable, and although his
friends gave him a character for dull
ness and stupidity, nothing in his be-
havior or looks justified such a conclu-
sion. He followed the proceedings with
great attention, and at one time en-
joyed a joke at his own expense with
as much gusto as did the court and the
audience.
Counsel for the defendant asked that
sentence upon the culprit be suspended
and that he be committed to a reforma-
tory during his minority. At the time of
his crime he was only IA years and 10
n.ssnths old, his previous character had
been good and he had confessed his
crime, argued Mr.. Burch, while i'm
ploring the clemency of the court.
Attorney Will D. Gould of counsel for
the prosecution objected to the defend
ant being sent to reform school, The
enormity of the crime was SO great and
the purpose of it so heinous that such
place was not the institution to fit this
case and this defendant. He asked that
the court hear some of the evidence be-
fore imposing sentence.
DR.. Paul Il. Moore, the victim of the
assault, was called. On the afternoon
of the 9Th of November. he said, after
having been sworn, he and his brother
George went out to Tropico to hunt
doves. During the hunt they met young
Glover, who asked them if they would
not like to shoot some cottontail rab-
bits in a field across the river. They
started under his direction. George w.
Moore was ahead, next came Glover and
the doctor was last. The boy asked wit
ness the time. He pulled out his watch
1t was 20 minutes to o'clock. When
they got across the river Glover re-
mained with the doctor, while the
brother went to the other end of the
field.
After hunting little through the
brush, DR.. Moore came back to the edge
of the field. and in a few moments STEP

the Chinese woman whose exploits in

there is no doubt that If she had worn

Sue Ying was arraigned on a COM

related in these columns. 1t alleges also
that her marriage to All Wing had not
been dissolved by any court nor had he
absented himself from her for a period
of five successive years before she felon-
iously contracted second matrimonial

Dr.. Moore's house and admitted that the
| motive for the crime was robbery. Wher
asked by the victim why he had moi
killed him, the prisoner blamed 1t tc
the revolver. It was the DETECTION Of the
bullet from the edge of his hunting cap
the witness added, that had saved his
life.
The doctors brother, George w.
Moore, corroborated good deal of the
previous testimony. Taking up the
| thread OF the story after Glover had shot
the doctor and left him. he told how the
youthful criminal had next come to him
in the field and offered to pilot him to
where the buggy was and where, he al
legged, DIR. Moore was awaiting him,
after an unsuccessful Shot at a running
rabbit. AS they walked along George
heard a cry and said it was his brother
calling, but Wilfred denied this and in
sisted that it was only the lowing of
cattle. He tried to lead witness astray,
and, finding that this maneuver did not
succeed, left him. He soon returned,
however, crying out that the doctor had
shot himself.
The next day, when in custody, the
prisoner made the admission that he
had planned to kill the doctor for the
purpose of robbery, but that he had not
had the intention of harming George.
He then said that he had stolen a sum
of SIS from lodger at his mothers
house and needed S. to make restitu
ton of the entire sum.
Character witnesses were then intro
duced by the defense, among whom were
several teachers and friends. w. H.
Holland, Glendale teacher, gave GLOW
er good character for truth, veracity,
integrity and honesty, but claimed that
he was stupid, obtuse and very dull. if
patient.
Miss Veda Backus testified similarly.
The insistence of Lynn Helm to know
whether she had ever promoted the boy
to higher grade brought out the
naive reply from the witness that she
had promoted him to get rid of him. At
this sally, everybody, including the

not so dull but that he, too, enjoyed the

expense. He laughed. Morally, Miss
Backus believed, Wilfrid knew the i'm
port of his acts, but she thought that he

as she had an impression that he was
but half-witted.
The mother of the defendant, who
knew that he was Is years old on the 9th
of January, but could not specify the
year in which her son was born, also
made her plea to the court for mercy.
She did not believe that Wilfred had had
murder in his heart when he shot the
doctor, because he had subsequently told
her that he had read in a book that
man could be wounded in certain part
of the head without being killed. He
would only be rendered insensible, and
thus could be robbed safely.
Judge Smith said he took no stock in
the evidence given for the purpose of
making it appear that the prisoner was
devoid of moral responsibility On the
contrary he had had deliberate murder
in his heart when he committed the deed
Ee could not think of sending him to

and the youthful depravity of the de-
fendant was menace to the community.
A mild spat here took place between
Deputy District Attorney Willis and the
attorneys for Glover.
The latter intmated that they had
come into court with their plea of guilty
under an understanding with the dis
! trict attorney that suspended sentence
| and a commitment to a reformatory
| would be the result. Mr.. Willis emphat-
| cally denied that his office had agreed
| to the substitution of the present plea
| by reason Of the string which Mr.. Helm
| now claimed was attached to it.
| The court reiterated that Wilfred S.
Glover was responsible and that he was
not fit subject for a reformatory. Or
| dering the boy to stand up, he sentenced
| him without further talk to ten years in
| the penitentiary at Folsom. AS Glover
sat down he remarked to a reporter who
spoke to him: That's just what ex-
pected," and smiled.

GRANAs WAS TOUCHED
Check Racket Worked Successfully on
a Clothing Merchant

A young man on Wednesday went to
Jacob F. Granas, who sells clothing,
boots and cheap Jewelry at 1872 South
Main street, to whom he was known by
sight and represented himself as T. f.
SkeeIe. He said that he was on the eve
of going to the Klondike and bought
certain quantity of goods. He drew a
check to the order of Granas upon the
Citizens bank of this city for $50, which
he signed T. E. Skeele. After he had
gone away Granas became suspicious,
and started to investigate. He soon
found out that Skeele was much older
man than the fellow who had touched"
him with the check racket.
The police were informed Of the trans
action and a warrant issued for the
smooth young man. 1t is barely possi-
BILE that the Klondike story is true and In
that event the smooth young man is
probably caught by this time, as an Of
ficer went down to Terminal island last
night to intercept him if he took the San
Francisco boat.
