DIES MONIES, Dec u.-(Special Louis
Busse will not be hanged. Five Of the six
members Of the supreme court today ad-
dressed a communication to Governor Cum
minis asking that his sentence be com
muted to life Imprisonment This action
Of the supreme court follows a conference
held yesterday with the governor and f.
A. Dawson, Buses attorney. on the first
hearing Of the case by the supreme court
on the first appeal, the supreme court was
evenly divided on the question Of sustain
ing the lower court. The court is COM
posed Of six members. Three favored af-
firming the decision Of the lower court and
three favored a reversal and new trial
According TO law when the court is evenly
divided the lower courts action is af-
frmed. The sentence Of the lower court
was the death penalty. The case has now
gone through all the stages of law and
every effort made to save Busse's life un-
der the law. Now the court says to the
governor that It cannot change its opinion
and Interpretation of the law, but fearing
that the three members who favored a
reversal may possibly be right they think
clemency should step I'm and at least save
Busse's life. Governor Cummins therefore
granted a reprieve until January in order
to have further time to consider the merits
of the case.

was noticeable that the Empress Eu-

ditions, and hitting or missing il is
merely matter of chance.
So, too, in fog you may hear

haven't a notion where they come
from or how far they are off until
you hit something or something hits

For many wears there has been an
interesting controversy among sea

On the one hand ii is argued /:
Given a fog area fifty miles across,
go through it at twenty knots, and
you reduce the possible collision
time TO two hours and half. At
ten knots you are five hours in it
and doable YOUR chances of hitting
or being hit. while at five knots YOU
would have ten hours fog and four
times the risk of collision.
This is perfectly sound as far as it
goes, though it must be confessed
there is certain amount of selfish

MUST HAVE BETTER ROADS.

1t is announced that the govern
ment will look more carefully to the
enforcement OF its rule regarding
roads over which rural free delivery is
established The recruitment is: Roads
trayersed shall be kept in good condi-
tion and unobstructed by gates; there
must be unbridged creeks or streams
not fordable at any season of the
year. In many cases the residents
along proposed routes have made i'm
provements that enable them TO OBJ
tain rural delivery service, but some
times the efforts to keep up the roads
are relaxed But the government
has decided that unless the roads
travelled by the carriers are properly
maintained the service will be with
drawn. The postofiice department
now calls on the carriers for reports
on the roads and will stop the ser
vice where the highways in question
are bad.
