PLEA FOR "wHITEY" SULLIVAN.
Justice Belts Hears Arguments I'm Faver
OF q New Trial.


Of . New Trial.
HUDSON, N. Y, March 7.-Justice Belts
to-day heard argument as to the reasons
why new trial should be granted TO James
p. Sullivan, alias Whitley who wouid
have been put to death but for the reprseve
granted by Gov. Odell at the request OF
the Rev. Father Curry OF st. James PARISH
New York. Father Curry had sent an
urgent telegram to the Governor to stay
the execution OF the death sentence, as
valuable evidence tending to show the
innocence of Sullivan had come to his
notice. Father Curry was present and
was an interested listener to the court
proceedings. After the arguments were
closed he said he was convinced that an
injustice had been done to Sullivan In his
conviction and he felt confident that new
trial would establish that fact. as well
as clear him Of the murder.
Sullivan was convicted OF the murder
of Night Watchman Wilson OF Cobleskill.
which occurred in November. 1900. II
Is alleged that with several pals he lett
Albany on safecracking expedition.
Wilson encountered them and was shot
and killed. "Sheeny" Harris. one OF the
gang. on the trial implicated sullivan az a.
the man who fired the fatal shot. ne
was convicted and the Court Of Appeals
affirmed the judgment.
The new evidence presents three points
on which new trial Is sought. The hrst
is that Harris was guilty Of perjury IN
swearing that he had never been convicted.
II he perjured himself in this respect, It
was argued, his whole testimony is worth
less Second. an alibi In set up and the
third point is the alleged confession q
Harris, made to two men. that he himseli
did the shooting.
At the close OF the hearing Justice Belts
took the briefs submitted and telegram
was sent to the Governor asking for
reprieve Of two weeks more, in which time
Justice Belts would decide as to whether

TO SERVE THE STATE
w. o. CLARK TO DE ,DRAUGHTsMAN
IN STATE LAND OFFICE
The United States Coast and Geodet'c
Survey When Ipaugurated - Charac-
ter, magnitude and Importance of the
Work.

VIM. 0. Clark, for four years county
auditor and now deputy auditor has
been offered and has accepted the posi-
ton of draughtsman in the state land
commissioners office at IA much larger
salary than any office pays here. He
and his family will leave for Olympia
in about ten days. No man has ever
held public Office In this county who
has stood higher in the estimation of
his fellow citizens than Mr.. Clark. He
enjoys the respect and confidence of
the people in an,eXceptional degree
and his removal from the county will
occasion general and sincere regret.
The cOuntyis fortunate in having had
the benefit of his services as long as it
has. 1t is seldom that SO many quail
fications for official duties as he pos
sesses in a marked degree are found in
one man. He is not, only a fine pen
man and rapid and accurate account
ant, but he is an expert draughtsm. IL
and skilled also as "a surveyor and ell
gineer Uniting with these acquired
qualifications most urbane and genial
manner and accommodating disposi-
ton, the wonder is that he was not
long ago called into the service of the
state or some large municipal or pri
vate corporation. 1t may he because
of the one deficiency commented upon
by one of his associates in office few
days ago-his utter lack of gall" His
bump of self esteem seems to lack even
ordinary development. County Aud
itor Fred e. Kirby will take personal
charge Of the office upon Mr.. Clark's
departure. He arrived Tuesday from
his home near West Sound and found
the right hand of fellowship cordially
extended to him by all of his official
associates.

U y. Coast survey

In 1907, upon recommendation OF
President Jefferson, congress passed an
act authorizing the president to cause
a survey of the coasts of the United
States to be made, in order to prepare
accurate charts Of every part of the
coast; but it was not till 1917 that I'll Q
work was actually begun. In that
year commencement was made near
the harbor of New York. under the
direction of Prof f. II. Hassler, ma
tive of Switzerland, who had gained
experience i'm similar works abroad.
Owing to the failure of congress to
make suitable appropriations, the work
was only prosecuted at intervals be-
tween 1917 and 1882, no general survey
being attempted, and the detached
surveys being limited to the most ele-
mentary information.
In 1882 congress empowered Mr..
HassIer to employ such astronomers as
ne thought advisable to assist fhe
military and naval officers in the pros
ecGtion of the work, and provided an
appropriation adequate to the require
ments of the service. From that d.
to the present time the survey of tue
coast has been in steady and active
progress.
Some estimate of the magnitude of
the work may be formed from the fact
that the American coast line, exclusive
of Alaska, reaches total of 1860
miles, while the shore line, following
the indentations of the numerous bays.
ETC., reaches a total of 29,375 miles.
The work combines three important
operations: First, the geodetic survey,
which accurately determines the geo.
graphical position of various points
along the coast by astronomical ana
trigonometricai methods; second,
typographical survey, which delineat
the coast line and the characteristic
features of the land; and third, hy-
geographic or nautical survey of thu
channels, shoals, and approaches to
shore, including observations of cur
rents and tides.
1t is photographic work entirely
that is now being done by the coast
survey party working in this vicinity
under the direction of Capt. Dickei's-
The work will occupy about month
more.

giving notice TO all .adjoiping occupants
of lands, and heing furnished with a
sufficient number of men to aid IN pre-
venting the fire from, spreading. The
measure likewise provides strict regu
lations regarding the kindling of fires
by hunters, campers or others, and pro-
hibits the operation of spark-emitting
engines, not properly safeguarded with
devices for arresting sparks, in the
vicinity of forest slashings during the
period from June until October. The
Wess Coast Trade says: There Will
doubtless be complaint that this law is
oppressive, should it be rigidly en-
forced, but 1t is to he hoped that it will
be observed To the, letter. Last, year

"The varied character OF the pro-
ducts of this region is in keeping with
the energies of the soil and the kindli-
ness of the climate. In the line of
grasses anything can be grown that is
of value to the farmers of Great Britain.
In sthe line of grains no product is
wanting that can grow in temperate
climes. In the line of fruits everything
from currant to an apple, unless it
may be peaches and apricots, can be
grown, each variety singularly abun-
dant and perfect of its kind. In the
line of legumes the production is un-
exeelled. In the line of field roots
growth it is perhaps without peer. In
the line of flowers 1t is a veritable gar
den of the golden age. AS a live stock
country this western slope ranks higher
so far as natural advantages are con-
cerned. How could it be otherwise?
Where the tinkle of the old sheep bell,
the leader of the flock, is heard upon
the hills when the day is at the short
est and where the cons can gather an
abundance of food for milk production
in the pastures before April FOOLS day,
and where no hot waves pass over the
landscape to burn the grasses; why
should not COWS and sheep and all
kinds of live stock be grown at their
best in such land?n

Prof. Thos. Shaw. one of the leading
agricultural authorities of the United
States, has made several trips to Puget
Sound and is an enthusiast on the su b
iect of the climate and other advant-
ages of western Washington, especially
with reference to agriculture. IN re-
Gently published article he says.
1.-THE climate of the Pacific slope in
Washington is one of the most delight
full to be found in any country. There
is an evenness of temperature which is
very favorable to the highest develop
ment in products Of the soil, and also
to the growth of a manhood symmetri-
cal. robust, and capable of withstanding
the wear and tear of time until Wig
allotted span. There are no extremes
of temperature. In winter the sheep
can Craze on the slopes nearly every
Vday. Cabbages may be sown in the
autumn in the gardens and reaped the
following year without any transplant
ing or resttting. In February the
slumbering vegetation is aroused from
it's short but renovating sleep, and in
March the wanderer'n the wildwood
crushes a perfect flower with almost
every tread. The farmer may turn the
furrows over any month in the year
The frosts forget to come until late
September suns wax low and dim
The nights in summer are so cool that
in scarcely any part thereof does the
mosquito carry on his malevolent in
tent, and in the bright summer time
when the people of the center and the
south are gasping for a breath of air, as
they lie strewn here and there
upon cOuches of ease, the inhabitants
of the Pacific slope in Washington are
drinking in unmeasured cooling drafts
of air brim full Of oxygen from the
vast expanse OF the. western sea. In
such climate man should be almost
at his best throughout the year, hence
life lived in such land should count
for at least one-fourth more than the
measure of its duration in days and
years.

The big boiler of Henry Cayou's new
steamer, the "Mary C.", said to weigh
about twenty tons, was dropped into
