the applicant is that he is innocent
the charge against him. The jur.
found him guilty; the trial court
approved the verdict; the supreme
court affirmed the decision. It is not
now claimed that there is new or 9TH
er evidence than that produced at the
trial. I am asked to consider the same
record evidence as it was before the
courts and make a finding of innocence
contrary to the finding of the jury and
the decisions Of the courts. This I cam
not do.
"On the question of the sufHciency Of
the evidence to support the verdict,
consider the decisions Of the supreme
court as conclusive and binding upon
US. The supreme court says:
" Appellant also claims that the YER
is contrary to the evidence. have ex-
amined the record and find that it con-
tains abundant evidence that appellant
assaulted Harrity and struck him upon
the back of the head with a rock as
large as a mans fist, wounding and
staggering him. The blow was q severe
one and was struck while Harrity was
standing with his back to appellant not
expecting an attack and without provo
cation or warning. The jury inspecte4
and examined the rock and found that
the assault did endanger the life of
Harrity and we cannot weigh the testi-
mony or disturb their findings
Whatever there was in the charge OF
conspiracy to convict was for the con-
sideration of the courts in considering
the credibility of the testimony. It is
not for us to measure that credibility.
1.-THE condition of the COwley county
jail is not a matter to be considered by
me as reason for granting a pardon.
If one man sentenced to that jail should
be pardoned for such action then all
men sentenced should be pardOned for
the same reason. The condition of the
Jail is a proper subject to present to
the county commissioners of that ccun-
ty, who should make proper and suit
able provisions for the care Of all the
| county's prisoners. The offense of
which the defendant was con-
victed is punishable by Imprisonment in
the county Jail not less than six months
or in the penitentiary for a period not
to exceed five years. The defendant
was sentenced to imprisonment for six
months. Considering that he has re-
ceived the minimum sentence, cannot
say that a shorter period, such as he
has already served, is sufficient punish
meni.
Holding the views of the case here
expressed, I decline to interfere with the
| judgment of the courts"

held up in a room of the Lincoln hotel,
one of the most fashionable hostelries
in Seattle, by a man who gave his name
as Burke, and was made to pay over
$3.50.

was from Butte, Mont, and had $4,000
to invest and would like to buy an in
terest in Goldsmith's theatrical bust
ness
Today Goldsmith received a telephone
call from Burke from the Lincoln hotel.
asking him to come up and talk over
the deal. Goldsmith went to room on
the top floor. The first thing Burke
did was to tell Goldsmith to read a
letter lying on a table in the room.
This letter stated that Burke needed
$3.50 very badly and if Goldsmith did
not come through with that amount
his head would be shot off. Goldsmith
turned to his companion and looked
down the barrel OF revolver.
Write out a check for the amount, -"
commanded Burke, "and send the hotel
clerk to the bank for the money, $500
in gold and the balance in 500 bills

Burke keeping Goldsmith covered and
shielding the gun from Fleming.
After Fleming had gone Burke told
Goldsmith to order drinks for two
which he did, and after the clerk re-
turned with the money he ordered two
more for Which Goldsmith paid. He
then made Goldsmith go into the bath
room and warned him to make no out

door and left.

BURLINGTON ROAD INDICTED.
Charged With Two Officials Giving
Rebates to steel Company.

Charged With Two officials Giving
Rebates to steel Company.
Chicago, Dec. sO.-An Indictment
was returned yesterday by the federal
grand jury against the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad, Darius
company, and @. G. Burnham, the
foreign freight agent of the road, on
a charge of granting railroad. rebates.
The Indictment charges that the re-
bates were all granted to the United
States Steel Products company, of
New York, subsidiary company to
the United States Steel company. All
of the shipments, on which the in
dictment alleges rebates we're paid,
were made from six citieS-ElWoOd,
Ind, Martins Ferry, Ohio, Pittsburg,
Pa, Newcastle, Pa, Cleveland, Ohio,
and Joliet, In.-to Vancouver, B. G.
Twenty-six separate offenses are
charged.
The indictment further alleges that
by an agreement between the defend
ants and a number of connecting
railroads joint tariff was made and
filed with the interstate commerce
commission. The freight rates were
paid, it is declared in the Indictment,
according to the tariff, but afterwards
a rebate of about 80 per cent. was
allowed to the shipper. In all cases
the United States Steel Products COM
pany was the recipient of the money,
according to the Indictment.
AS soon as the Indictment was laid
before Judge Bethea in the United
States circuit court he fixed bonds of
$4,000 in each case and the officials
of the Burlington road We're notified
to call and give bail to the amount
of $4,000 which they agreed to do
without delay.
The greater part of the evidence
upon which the Indictment was voted
IS said to have been furnished by T. P.
Alder, of New York, president of the
United States Steel Products company;
J. L. Moore. foreign traffic agent for
the Burlington road and G. w. Perry

Irelan viii have to serve out the re-
naming five months of his six months
sentence, which he received for slug
ging a strike breaker named J. d.
Harrity in the back of the head with
a rock. The Offense was committed
in Arkansas City, and Irelan is now in
the Cowley county Jail at Winfield.
A copy Of the letter was sent to
Judge w. r. Smith of the Santa Fe
and to c. Z. Atkinson, who represent
ed Irelan. The letter follows:
Il have given careful consideration
to the petitions, letters and documents
fled with me and have heard the oral
arguments in support of and opposed
to the application of Arthur z. Irelan
for pardon. The application for par
don is supported by many individuals
and the united strength of many labor
unions and federatiOns. The oppOsi-
ton is represented by many indi-
viduals and the AtchiSon, Topeka &
Santa F7e Railroad company, through
by able counsel, each side has pre-
scented the case with earneStnesS and
appal ent deep feeling.
1.-The grounds for the application
are: First, that the defendant is not
guilty of the offense charged against
him; second that his conviction was
the result of a conspiracy of officers
and detectives; third, the jail at VIM
Held is so IOul ana QlIny JDdL II IS a
place unfit for any prisoner; fourth, if
the defendant is guilty of any offense
the punishment already endured by
him is sufficient.
Were L, as governor, permitted to
indulge my personal feelings and sym
pathies and grant pardons according
". I might reach a decision different
from the one I have reached; or, were
I permitted by my duty and by the
law to grant or withhold pardons ac-
cording to the power, influence and
numbers of those who support or re-
sist applications, my conclusion in this
case might be different from what it is.
I cannot. must not, allow my SYM
pathiess to control my decision in par
don cases. To do so would be to re-
lease the great majority of those who
apply for pardon. The pleas and petit
tions to the executive from the child
rem, wives, mothers and sisters Of the
convicted men would empty every cell
if the governors sympathy were the
only key. To grant or withhold a par
don according to the greater power,
influence and number supporting or
opposing the application would be to
ignore the law and render a decision
without regard TO the merits of the
case. My duty demands that I uphold
and sustain the judgments of the
courts instead of nullifying them.
The reasons must be clear and strong
to Justify granting a pardon.
The chief ground relied upon by

ALTON ORDERS MOTOR CARS.
Will Establish Local Service With
Them in Illinois

Chicago. Dec. 30.-Contracts have
been awarded by the Chicago & Alton
road for six gaso-electric cars to be
used in the establishment of interurban
service between local points on that line
throughout the state of Illinois.
The intention is to divide up the line
into sections of about twenty-five miles
each and furnish this local service over
these sections.
By the use of the gaso-electric cars
the operating officials of the road ex-
pect to cut down the expense of operat-
ing passenger trains from 80 cents to
about 2 cents a mile.
By the use of the new motive power
they also viii be able to increase the
service materially and to furnish the
patrons of the road with much more
satisfactory accommodations in every
way than possibly could be afforded by
the ordinary trolley lines.
The new service will be put in Op-
Grafton just as soon as the cars can be
built and delivered. It is expected that
the first order will be increased ma
terially.
