the Solution of q Problem
Special Dispatch to Ths Cali.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. e.-An I'M
portant conference of up-river and
down-river land owners was held to-
night with Frank D. Ryan, State Com
missioner of Public Works, the auditing
board of the commission and Colonel
w. II. Heuer, representing the Federal
Government, with reference to the re-
lief of the river section from the effect
of annually recurring floods.
Colonel Heuer said there were two
ways Of solving the problem-one by
cutoff and the other by widening the
channel. He added that personally he
favored the widening of the channel.
The down-river land owners argued in
support Of a cut or channel through
Horseshoe bend. This proposition was
favorably considered by the commits
sioner and the auditing board until 1t
was discovered that the land owners
would not give free right Of way. The
last Legislature appropriated 5000, 900
for the river improvements.
1t was decided to hold another con-
ference on February 10, at which it is
hoped to reach an agreement as to how
the flood waters shall be disposed Of.

GALLONS ROPE
ENDS HIS LIFE
William Glover, Who Killed
the Father Of the Girl He
Loved, Dies at Folsom
EXECUTION IN THE PRISON
Efforts to Obtain Executive
Clemency Fail and the Ex-
treme Penalty of Law Is Paid

SACRAMENTO, Feb. g. William
Glover was hanged at Folsom prison
at 1s o'clock to-day for the murder of
Frederick Nierhoff of Placer County.
The body was pronounced lifeless in
fourteen minutes. The hanging was
entirely without incident Glover did
not make a statement. He accepted
the religious ministrations Of g. Catholic
priest. His brother, Oscar Glover, was
at the prison but remained at the Cap
tain's office during the execution.
Glover was convicted on September
8, 1902, OF having killed Nierhoft near
Auburn on the 18th day of June. 1902,
and on September 2S, 1902, he was SEN
fenced by Judge Prewett Of Placer
County to be hanged seventy-five days
later. The matter was delayed by an
appeal to the Supreme Court, which re-
suited in the affirmation of the judg-
ment Of the lower court. On January
II, 1904, he was resentenced TO be
hanged on February 6. An appeal for
executive clemency was made by his
attorney.
The killing OF Nierhof by Glover was
presumed to have been the outcome Of
an attachment formed by the latter for
the formers fourteen-year-o daugh-
ter, Agnes Nierhoff. William Glover
and his brother. Oscar. were owners
and operators of a mine on the Ameri-
can River. near the Nierhoff ranch
They were frequent visitors to the
Nierhoff home, and unknown to the
parents OF Agnes an attachment was
formed between her and William
Glover. who was about twice her age.
The father requested Glover to cease
paying attention to his daughter, and
the latter ordered him to keep away
from the premises. On the day Of the
murder Glover paid visit to Miss
Nierhof in the absence of the father.
AS he was leaving the house Nierhoff
arrived. Some words ensued and
NierhoH was shot by Glover, who had
rife with him. Miss Nierhoff and
Oscar Glover were witnesses to the
shooting. The Coroner's jury rendered
verdict to the effect that the killing
was premeditated and without provo
cation, and also that Oscar Glover was
an accessory to the crime.
The trial of William Glover lasted
four days and the jury found him guilty
of murder IN the first degree, after de-
liberating five hours. Oscar Glover
was tried for completely in the crime
and was acquitted. Glover accepted
the death sentence with stolidity, and
all he ever said is that he "got the

BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERA

For Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely painful, dangerous
to life and very expensive, but in the
light of modern medical research and
since the discovery of the Pyramid Pile
Cure, wholly unnecessary. If you have
any doubt on this point kindly read the
following letter from one who knows
that the claims regarding the merits
Of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out
by facts:
For long time 1 suffered with blind
piles. They gave me so much pain and
uneasiness that they almost disqualified
me for doing anything. l saw an ad in
the Atlanta Journal Of Pyramid Pile
Cure and ordered a 50-cenr box. used
them and they gave me relief; that en-
couraged me and 1 bought another So
cent box and they cured me. Oh, how
glad that 1 am well again!
THE Pyramids cured me and I am
satisfied they will cure anybody else
who is suffering as 1 was, If they will
use them.
You may use this in any way you
see proper; if my experience will en-
courage any sufferer to use your Pyra-
mids 1 shall be glad. H. K. HICKS,

To Whom 1t May Concern:
Interested parties. not members of the
Citizens Alliance, are circulating stories
that an effort will be made by it to break
up the Labor day parade.
Casual investigation as to the source
of the story leads me to lay the respon-
sibility of its origin (and circulation) to
certain labor politicians interested in
their own ends; and. once and for ALL
wish to say the Citizens Alliance stands
for law and order. good citizenship and
industrial equilibrium. 1t denies no man
the right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, and if it makes a union
man happy to parade that is his business
and not ours. 1t is his right and the
Government of the United States guar
antees him peaceful enjoyment of that
right. just as it assures Knights Tenn
plar or any other fraternity protection.
The Citizens Alliance of San Fran
cisco is made up of 10000 of our very
best people, who represent eighty-flve
per cent of the commercial and profess
sional energy of this city. 1t seems like
waste of time to deny the silly story;
but the Citizens Alliance, through me.
desires to say to the honest toilers of
the city, God bless you. go ahead and en-
joy yourselves and rest assured we sim
cerely trust nothing will happen to mar
