WILL Be HANGED OCT. IS

STOCKTON, Cal, Aug. Mrs. En-
ma Ledoux was today sentenced to
hang in San Quentin prison on Octo-
ber 10, between the hour of a. m. and
noon. Mrs Ledoux was unmoved by
the sentence.
Mrs. Ledoux was convicted of the
murder of her former husband, A. N.
McVicar, by giving him poison. She
placed the body in a trunk which she
ordered shipped to Jackson, California,
McVicar's home.
The odor caused a discovery and the
police soon got the right clew and ar
rested the woman a few days later in
Antioch, Cal,
The prisoner told conflicting stories
one being that McVicar took poison
an danother that he was poisoned by a
mysterious Joe Miller.
The prosecution claimed that the mo-
tive for the murder was Mrs. Ledoux' s
fear of being prosecuted for bigamy
declaring she was not divorced from
McVicar when she married Eugene
Ledoux.
Is Cool and Collected.
Without a tremor the slight little
woman stood the coolest and most col
lected of all in the crowded court
room while Judge Nutter passed sem
tence.
After the court proceedings were
over Mrs. Ledoux Redeemed a bit, but
in a few moments her face resumed
its usual expressionless appearance.
When all was over Mrs. Ledoux
Joined her mother, Mrs. Mary Head, in
the anteroom and throwing her hands
above her head uttered little cry and
rushed into her mothers arms. Mrs.
Head sobbed. but Mrs. Ledoux shed no
tears. Mrs. Ledoux was led back to
Jail.
This morning Attorney Farrell for
the defendant introduced more afhda-
Wits to show the good reputation Of the
witness who had sworn that Juror R1t-
ter declared during the trial that he
intended to hang the woman. Judge
Nutter in denying the motion for
new trial. announced his belief that the
! affiants, Murphy and smith, tes'lTeo
falsely about Juror Ritter. He directed
the sheriff to deliver the woman into
tho oustodv of the warden of San
Quentin prison within ten days.

in shifting the responsibility to the
shoulders of the council has created no

ment be reduced to $4,000 per mile and

The company paid taxes on a valua-
ton of $500 per mile on it's main line

The o. r. & n. is assessed this year
at $10,560 per mile on its main line;
1920 per mile on the Wallula- -WaIla

and $4752 on the branch running be-
tween Turner station and Dayton. So
far the o. R. & N. has filed no COM
plant against this years assessment.
Scrutinize Stock Assessments.
The board put in a couple of hours
this morning, going over the assess
ments on stocks Of goods returned by
the different business houses. While
some were considered fair others the
board thought were turned in too low
and will be raised to what is consid-
cred fair valuation. Merchants whose
assessments are to be raised will be
formally notified of the intentions of
the board and invited to open their in
hn
commissioners.
Double Sheep Values.
1t was decided this morning to in
crease the assessment to about double
its former figure on sheep in the
county. Heretofore an arrangement
has existed between Walla Walla and
Umatilla county whereby only SO per
cent of sheep in the county were
taxed, the other so per cent being COL
lected by Umatilla county. This ar
rangement was entered into by reason
of the fact that fully 80 per cent of
the sheep owned in Walla Walla coun-
ty range in Umatilla county territory
during six months of the year. The
government recognizes no distinction
between Walla Walla and Umatilla
county sheep in collecting the annual
tax of cents per head for grazing
privileges in the Weneha reserve and
the commissioners this morning de-
cided to abolish the former arrange
ment with Umatilla county. There are
1905 sheep in the county valued at
s31,235 and this assessment will be
raised to $62,470.
Many Complaints Filed.
About 20 taxpayers dissatisfied with
their assessment this year had filed
complaints with the board up to noon
today. Complaints filed by M. Kinny.

Speaks at Consistory of
Hostility to the Church
in France and Spain
IN FEAR OF BOMBS

ROME. Dec. 6.-At the consistory
which was held today the Pope rec
ognized eighty-four bishops. including
the Most Rev James H. Blenk as
Archbishop OF New Orleans; Monsignor
John B. Morris as Coadjutor Bishop OF
Little Rock. Ark, and MonSignor
Giuseppe Aversa. papal delegate in
Cuba. as Archbishop Of Sardi
The most significant appointments
were those of ten new French bishops.
which were made without any oppoSi-
ton on the part of the French Govern
ment. In his oculation the Pope said
that every day the increasingly sad
storm of vfcissitudes is beating down
on the church. involving great misery.
More than ever now. the Pontiff
said. the church can be compared with
a ship buffeted by the waves in the
midst of the ocean. But our faith does
not vacillate in the least Indeed. we

there is hostility against the church
The people there should be urged TO
proceed with compact strength, and IN
those regions (alluding to Spain) where
hostility is threatened Catholics should
generously sink all personal almost
ties and discussions and neglect no
means permitted by the law and by
the Christian conscience TO overcome
the evil"
1t was asserted after the ceremony
that the real reason for the change
from a public to a private consistory
was that the Vatican authorities feared
that an attempt might be made against
the life of the Pope at public consis-
tory. This apprehension was based
on the bomb outrage in ST. Peters on
November IA. and also on the threaten
ing letters recently addressed to the
Pope.
