HANGED ON THE GALLONS.
the Murder Of Jane Nicholson
In Washington.

Washington, Dec. 9.-George W.
Horton was hanged in the district Jail
yesterday for the murder Of Jane Mich
olson. The drop fell at 1919 Horizons
crime was the killing Of Mrs. Jane
Nicholson, and was one Of the most
cold blooded murders ever committed
in the district. Horton was an ex-
member Of the police force, and Mrs.
Nicholson was divorced woman. On
the evening Of June "a, 1928, he met
the woman in Armory park, and in the
conversation which ensued she an
nounced her determination to break
off the relations which existed between
them. As she arose from the bench to
leave him he drew pocket-knife and
slashed her across the throat. In
frenzy of rage he stabbed her again
and again, almost seVering her head
from her body. Nearly 100 persons
witnessed the murder, but were too
paralyzed with horror to interfere.
He made no attempt to escape and
yielded quietly to arrest. His defense
was insanity and after his conviction
repeated attempts were made to secure
executive clemency. The president
however, declined to interfere with the
sentence. Horton was married man.

GOV. JONES' VIEWS.
The Chief Executive OF Arkansas UphOlds
the Acquisition OF the Philip
pine Islands.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. Gov.
Jones expansion views, as given out
two days ago, are still fruitful source
OF comment The chief executive said
yesterday:
Expansion Is not party issue. II Is ques-
ton Of political economy, Of national polity.
No one man should be allowed to commit a
party to my fixed policy. President Mckinley
cannot make the republican party the chief ex-
ponent Of expansion, for there are many repub-
llcans opposed to 1t. II is as much a democratic
doctrine as 1t is republican, notwithstanding
the efforts Of certain self-styled leaders to deny
II to democracy 1t is these leaders and not
the democratic party who have declared against
expansion. just because the republican, popu-
list or any other political party advocates some
great principle is 1t right that we should take
the other side for the sake Of contrarlnessY No,
AS have said believe the acquisition Of the
Philippines was fortunate and that we should
retain them at all hazards.

A New Rate War Probable.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 9-The Rock Is
land has stirred up row in railroad
circles by announcing new rate on
packing house products from Omaha
and Kansas City. This line proposes
to begin to-day to haul this class Of
freight from Kansas City to Texar-
kama, Ark, in ear load lots, minimum
$4,000 pounds, for 80 cents per 100
pounds, and from Omaha for A cents
per 100 pounds. The Burlington road
and the Memphis line have just got
through with rate war on this same
class of freight, and, consequently,
railroad people are adverse to seeing a
new war launched. If the Rock Island
rate is not withdrawn rate war is in
eyitable.

was not sufficient. The state at
tempted to show that book" could be
made without sheet of paper or a
cover, but the court said he could not
take judicial cognizance of cant ex'

would have to hold that the word

The strength Of cereals. notably wheat. this

TO this extent the outlook Is less bssrish and,

the week is not serious. After year Of unpre.
