When the world becomes thoroughly

In sentencing F.. d. Cooper. John
Christian and ]. P. Woolman to serve
twenty-four hours in prison and pay
a fine of $500 each for fencing gov
eminent land, Judge Hunt made some
remarks that should be warning to
others. The judge realizes that in the
past it had been the custom to fence
such lands by men of integrity and
high standing, as there was no great
demand for such lands by settlers. But
the situation has changed and with it
has come the stern decree that illegal
fencing of the public domain must be
stopped. The judge said that in the
future he would be less lenient with
those found guilty of illegal fencing
No doubt there are many instances
where men have fenced in government
land to get the benefit of it as hay or
pasture lands without any intention OF
violating the land laws or deprivine
the settler of the right to locate on
them. But the law cannot discrimi
nate. The best way to avoid trouble
is to tear down the fence and avoid
the wrath of Uncle Sam.

SEARCHING FOR THE POLE.

Search for the north pole seems like
a useless sacrifice Of life and eXpendi-
ture of money, but it is likely to con-
tnue as long as there are restless and
venturesome spirits in the world. A
Washington dispatch says that fear is
entertained that Captain Robert E. Pea
ry has sacrificed his life in the effort
to discover the pole, as it is impos
sible to get any tidings of the ship
Roosevelt which sailed from the arc
from the American Geographical soci-
ETY. ada to their fears. Reports are
that the weather in the far north this
spring aud early summer was more
than usually rigorous. that storms
have been frequent and that the ice
is heavy. Consequently it is feared
that Pearys ship may have been
ground to pieces by the drifting ice.
Peary's plan was to reach a point
within 500 miles of the pole last year.
when he would establish a winter
DdSe anu Iudhe d udSIi dCioSS lIie lCC
this summer as soon as the weather
would permit. This he expected would
not take more than six weeks and, ac-
cording to his calculations. he would
reach home not later than October of
this year. 1t was thought that whal-
ing vessels might bring some tidings
of the Roosevelt, but no news of any
kind having been received gives cause
for alarm. However, the daring ex
plorer returned safely once before
when thought to be lost, and he may
do SO again.
Nevertheless, this pole hunting is a
risky business and the worst that
could happen would surprise no one.
While the safety of Peary is in
doubt. Walter Wellman is now at
Spitzbergen, Danes Island to make
final preparations for his airship voy-
age to the pole.
According to the Chicago Record
Herald. which is financing the Well
man expedition the great correspond
ent expects to set sail in about six
weeks, although something may occur
to still further delay the start. In
fact he may not get away this year.
! While Wellman's airship is a great
| improvement over Andres balloon
when it comes to reaching the north
pole with it there are a good many
people from Missouri looking on.

FIRST DEGREE MURDER
WILLIAM BURGE CONVICTED ON
WIFE KILLING CHARGE.

jury in Criminal Court No. 1 late this
afternoon rendered a verdict of guilty OF
murder In the first degree In the case Of
William Burge. colored. The latter was ac-
cused of causing the death of his wife. He
was tried once before and convicted. but the
Court of Appeals granted a rehearing.
Throughout the trial ended this afternoon
Burge acted In the manner Of maniac.
Prior to the beginning of the trial it was
suggested that he was of unsound mind. but
q report from physicians who examined him
was that he Is sane.
An effort was made today by counsel for
the defense to offer evidence to the effect
that the prisoner has become insane since
the alleged commission of the crime. JUS
tice Gould sustained the objection of AS
sistant United States Attorney Turner,
but informed Attorneys w. w. Bride and
James A. OShea, representing the prts-
oner, that the court would later consider
evidence relating to the mental condition
Of the accused, should 1t be presented. 1t
was pointed out that the code provides that
where the claim Is made that a defendant
has become insane after the alleged COM
mission of crime the question must be
inquired into by special jury. either be-
fore he is placed trial under the indiot-
H1ent or after conviction.
Final arguments were commenced this
morning. and the case was given to the
jury this afternoon with the outcome

sen ATORS HAVE TILT
TILLMAN AND DANIEL ON RAIL
ROAD PASS QUESTION.

Upon converting today the Senate prompt
ly took up the railroad rate bin. the anti
pass amendment being the immediate sub
ject of consideration.
Senator Culberson presented a substitute
FOR the provision adopted earlier In the
session. The substitute so modified the
provision so as to permit members OF the
families of railroad employees, bona Hde
attorneys for railroads. whether constantly
employed or not, and the caretAkefs OF
live stock to accept free transportation.
Senator McCumber chided the Senate for
flckieness. saying that after taking action
on the pass question few day days ago
the senator's had been sent tufnbling over
one another by the receipt OF few tele-
grams In opposition to the amendment. He
contended that the incident illustrated the
influence of the railroads and the bad
effect OF too much pafernalisIn-
Senators Bacon and Clay advocated the
limitation of the inhibition against passes
to officers OF the government and federal
Judges, contendng that Congress could not
exercise authority over the granting OF
such fayors to private individuals.
Senator Culbefsofl said that his purpose
In presenting the amendment had been to
get rid Of a very vexatious practice In the
southern states.
Senator Daniel sought to have the pro-
vision so amended as to include the
families of attorneys among those who
may receive passes. and Senator Tillman
said that Mr.. Daniels amendment would
make the provision laughing stock and
suggested that Mr.. Daniel should with
draw his amendment so that we can get
something else"
The Virginia senator did not accept
with favor the characterization of his
amendment. II don't intend to sit still
and listen to the Misrepresentation OF
my amendment in your unjust and pas
sienate manner" he said.
He had interrupted Mr.. Tillman to make
this statement and Notwithstanding ne
spoke In evident anger the South Carolina
senator apparently did not resent what was
said. He replied by calling attention to the
fact that his antagonist was proceeding IN
his time. and adding, II propose to retain
the floor. and also to retain my temper
Mr.. Daniel did not. however, take the
hint to surrender the floor, and he con-
tinued his remarks, saying. Your manor
is rough and insulting to gentlemen with
whom you are debating"
Mr. Tillman still kept his temper and
yielded the floor to the virginian in order
that the latter might continue his speech.

Ice at Arundel Cove, near Baltimore, yes
terday afternoon. Cadets Archibald Howard

this city and Howard Campbell Judson OF
Massachusetts, having completed the re-
auired course Of study at the school, were
given their diplomas and win be commits
stoned third lieutenants in the revenue cut
ter service.
The graduation exercises were attended
by throng OF officers OF the revenue sery-
Ice and their families and others from this
city. The exercises were held In the big
drill hall at Arundel Cove and were opened
with prayer by Rev. John Gardner Muir
ray. Secretary Shaw, Of the Treasury, then
addressed the cadets. In the course OF his
remarks he IL reported to have given
mild rap to the army and navy when dis
cussing the achievements Of the revenue
cutter service. He said In part:
Along the line OF an easy job keep in
mind that the world owes you living,
and while you are about the collecting you
might as well see that you get good one.
II you don't keep on demanding what 10
owed to you. however, the world will let
you starye to death. II you spend one
give you In foolishness and the other three
fourths in nonsense, then, when you are
older, you will be selling the cook stove to
buy a circus ticket.
''Confidentially, once had man in my
office who was only getting $50 month.
He asked for q raise ana got 1t. but never
had any more money along towards the
next payday. Later he asked for another
raise and got that one, too, and when we
found that he was not saving anything
from the next increase we gave him he was
fired, and a man employed in his place who
was not paid as much. We have that man
now, and. although he Is only getting 500
a month. he Is worth more than ten of the
other one, because he Is saving money for
himself and for the government.
Secretary Shaw was followed by Represn-
tative w. p. Hepburn, who spoke In a hui
morous vein: but who gave the young men
excellent advice and said that there were
always opportunities for advancement.
