VOEFUL MISCARRIAGE OF
JUSTICE IN BELMONT COURT
Frank Smith, the Slayer of Walter Dunn,
Held on Charge OF Manslauehter
and Bail Fixed at $4,000.

town late Tuesday night that the
original charge Of murder against
Smith had been reduced to one of
manslaughter by the Belmont JUS
tice, and that he had put the defend
ant under bonds OF only $4,000 to ap.
pear before the grand jury. there
were many EXPLANATIONS of displeas-
ure at the action taken, and by the
following day, when the news had
become thoroughly disseminated, and
all the facts relating to the trial had
come out, there was no restraining
the feeling that had been engen-
dered. From the testimony adduced
at the trial, nothing of an extenuat-
ing nature was brought out; in fact,
no testimony was introduced by the
defense and 10 attempt made to
show justification. On the other
hand the prosecutions evidence was
direct and convincing, and had the
court acted squarely and without
prejudice, Smith would have been
bound over on charge of murder,
without bail.
The whole thing savors of iobbery,
and there are many corroborating
circumstances to sustain this belief.
When the testimony was all in, JUS
tice Hancock announced that he would
hold Smith under bail Of $1,000, but
because of the district attorneys
strenuous objection, he increased
the amount to $1,000 1t is the gen
eral impression that the whole trans
action was fixed before the case
came up. 1t was understood that
Smiths bonds were to be placed at
$1,000: that that sum had been raised
by his friends and was ready to be
deposited for bail and his release Sc
cured. The bond of $4,000, however,
overreached their pile, but it is said
that the wires between here and
Colorado have been kept warm ever
since Wednesday in an endeavor to
secure the additional amount, and il
it is secured and put up it is IN
doubtedly Smiths purpose to leave
the country. He cannot expect,
should he come before a trial jury,
to escape on as low de, zee of crime
as manslaughter, and he will be ex-
tremely fortunate If he gets off with
less thgn life imprisonment.
Smith crime was one OF the most
brutal ever committed in Nevada; it
was premcditateu and vicious and
no sentence can be inflicted on him
which will commensurate for the
enormity Of his misdeeds

seek their fortunes. In the prime
Of manhood they had good part Of
their life before them. The acauain.
iance begun on the weary sea trip
ripened into strong friendship, aud
when they landed in San Francisco
on July 10, lS49, l75 days from Bos.
ton, they formed the partnership
that has never been dissolved. Since
then they have never been away from
each other more than few days at
time.
Professor Magee of the State uni
versity has often partaken OF the
partners hospitality in the Sierra,
and learning of Chaffee's illness, had
him removed to the hospital in hope
of saving his life.
The parting of the two old miners
was in character with the life they
have led. When Chaffee had been
comfortably tucked into the noun
tain wagon at their vine covered
house at Second Garrote, Chamber
lain reached up and clasped his hand.
Neither spoke for few seconds.
Finally Chafiee broke the silence.
Don't work too hard, Chamber
lain, he said cheerfully.
Keep stiff upper lip, Chaffee, u
replied Chamberlain, and then the
rig drove off toward Chinese Camp.
II don't expect ever to see him
again" said Chamberlain as the
team ratified away in the distance,
''but it won't do me any good to wor-
ry over it"
One brief chapter of this romance
of the days Of gold remains to be told.

ner" will be carried to the Sierra to

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
Death of "a Man Made Famous
by Bret Harte.

Tennessee Pardner" is dead,
and Tennessee is left lonely old
man of eighty-three in his mountain
cabin, says the Examiner of the LIST
inst. flames A. Chaifee, who was the
model from which Bret Harte con-
structed his pathetic little romance,
died yesterday at the East Bay San
atorium in Oakland. For days be-
fore his death his one thought was
for his old partner, ]. p. Chamber
lain, who is alone at last in the little
house they built themselves and lived
in for fifty-four years.
Cant you let me go from here?"
Chafiee would ask his attendants at
the hospital daily before his death.
Il am afraid Chamberlain isn't get
ting along all right, and want to
get back with him. always did the
cooking for the two of us, and am
afraid he isn't getting enough to eat.
He's kind of old now, too, older than
| am, and | ought to be back taking
care of him. You know he is eighty
three years old, and | am eighty
years old.
1t was on January "a, 1849, that
the friendship destined to endure
with life and beyond it was begun.

NEW USE FOR AUTOMOBILE.
Introduced as nm Adjunct of Rail-
reading by President of
Eastern Road.

Charles a. Singer, president of the
New York & Stamford Trolley road,
has decided to introduce the automo-
bile as an adjunct to modern railroad
ing. He will use machine capable of
speed of As miles an hour in pa
trolling the trolley tracks from Larch-
mont to South Beach, distance of rs
miles.
Mr.. Singer found that last summer,
while his road was carrying thousands
of people to the beaches, the cars would
frequently break down and stall the
entire line. a telephone system was
established on the line for the use
of the motormen of the belated cars.
so that they could telephone to the
powerhouse for the assistance of the
wrecking grew. Mr.. Singer thinks that
the automobile idea is even better than
the telephone.

NAVAL AXIOM ANNOUNCED.
Plans for General STAFF Expressed In
q Brief Statement just
Issued.

For the enlightenment of those in
terested in the proposition TO estab-
lish a general staff for the navy promi-
nent members of the general board
have drawn up the following axiom,
which sets forth the general object
for which the general staff is to be
organized; "A great organization Like
the navy should be based on such an
efficient system that strong secre-
tary can 90 the greatest amount of
good, a weak secretary the least
amount of harm. and that when the
secretary is absent the machinery may
not be interfered with"
This axiom will be submitted to Sec
rotary Moody when he returns to
Washington. The secretary carried
with him on his trip to the West Indies
the details of the general staff propo-
sition, and it is expected he will COM
NIT himself in regard to the advisa-
bility of adopting such a scheme, which
will involve a reorganization when he
returns from his trip.

changed its appearance, but it is still
the old capitol building in the eyes of
Vincennes people, and efforts are maxi
ing to interest the city or state to buy
it and transform it into a museum,
placing it in one of the parks.
The building is now used as a resi-
dence and unless it gets some atten-
tion it will soon begin 10 decay. 1t is
owned by Thomas Kilfoil. 1t could be
bought, it is believed, for about $500.
For many years it stood in the princi-
pal street in the city and has been
used as a business house, as well as a
home for numerous families. Much
history was made in the old building
while it was the meeting place of the
legislature of Indiana Territ Dry, which
was formed from a part Of the North
west territory.
Gov. William Henry Harrison read
his first message in the old building,
and in the message he worked for the
passage Of a measure that would pre-
vent the sale of intoxicants to the In
dams. The measure, it is said, was
never passed.
At the session of the legislature in
this building in 1907, laws were made
attaching the death penalty for crimes
of treason, murder, arson and horse
stealing. Burglary and robbery were
made punishable by whipping, fineand
imprisonment. Larceny was made
punishable by fine or whipping; steal
| ing by fine and whipping; bigamy by
fine, whipping and acknowledgements
Stringent laws were also made for the
punishment of children and servants
who refused to obey their parents or
masters.
| Between August ~ and %, 1919, the
Indian chief Tecumseh with IS war
riors appeared daily before Gov. Har-
rison in the old building, and it was in
that building that Teeumseh lost his
temper and gave the lie to the COVER
nor.
Hundreds of historic instances oc-
Cured in the old building, and almost
every prominent man in the country
at that time set his foot inside of it.
! The last session of the legislature
ended in it on March 10, 1913, and it is
said that the last law passed in it was
that which required the capitol to be
moved to Corydon, Ind.

BUILDING OF CANAL.
United States May Be Forced to EN-.
ploy Chinese Labor on Ditch.
Government Getting Ready to Ener-
gefica1Iy Push the work of Con-
structing the Waterway
Across the Isthmus.

Attorney Cromwell, counsel for the
Panama Canal company, and Admiral
Walker called at the state depart
ment the other day to talk to Secre-
tary Hay about the work of the sub
committee which is to visit the
isthmus Of Panama to appraise the
value Of the work the company is
doing on the canal and to investigate
the necessity for employing Chinese
labor. 1t was reported to the secre-
tary that the company employs 100
engineers, As medical officers and L.
500 laborers and foremen on the
canal. These are nearly all at work
in the Culebra cut.
Five thousand dollars day is a
modest estimate of the money which
the United States win be expected to
pay the canal company for continue
ing this work. and it is suggested
that the payments may date back to
the last report of the canal commits
sion.
Admiral Walkers estimate of the
number Of men to be employed on
the Panama canal when the United
States formally enter on the pro-
ject is 10000. For all practical pur-
poses this government now is en-
gagged in the construction of the
canal under the agreement signed
March 3 by Secretary Hay and Mr..
Cromwell. The work of construc-
ton was to be continued by the canal
company until the exchange of rati-
fications of the canal treaty, the un-
derstanding being that the United
States would pay for such work The
men at work are principally Jamaica
negroes.
One purpose of the visit to the
isthmus by a subcommittee Of the
canal commission is to study the la
Dor question with view to ascer-
tanning source from which an adj
ditional labor supply may be OBJ
tanned. The local labor supply is
insufficient It is probable, therefore,
that laborers will be drawn from the
southern states and the islands of
the West Indies. AS the labor supply
is controlled largely by companies or
ganized for the purpose, it is likely
that many Chinese and japanese la
borers viii be imported for work on
the canal because of the fact that
they can stand the climate.
