Antitrust Legislation.

The convention will place itself on
record as faVOring such an amendment
of the sherman antitrust law as will
enable the railroads TO enter into rea-
sonable traffic agreements without TAX
ing the risk of prosecution in the GRIM
inal courts. Probably also there will
be declaration in favor of registra-
ton OF certain corporations having the
means to become mOnopolies engaged in
interstate commerce, so as to give the
national government such supervision
over them as is now exercised over
transportation agencies. In this con-
nectiOn there will be a pronOuncement
in favor of national control as against
national ownership. Cognizance will be
taken of the demands of labor to the
extent Of recommending such legisla-
ton as Will insure labor organizations
against snap judgment by the courts
III the issuance of injunctiOns without
due notice or necessary hearing. a rec
ommendatiOn for removal of the triple
penalty in conspiracy prosecutions
when such prosecutions are directed
against labor organizations is proba BILE.
There Will be a trust resolution along
the lines of that embraced in the plat
form of 1900. when the necessity and
prOpriety of honest cooperation and
combination was recognized to meet
new conditions and extend American
trade in foreign countries, but when
cOnspiracies which create monopolies,
limit production and control prices were
pOintedly condemned.

Raft of Recommendations.

Among other recommendation that will
be made will be the following:
For admission al the next session of
congress of Arizona and New Mexico as
separate states of the union: for pTotec-
ton of American citizens abroad: for
fostering of our commerce in the Orient;
for the open door in China: for exclusion
of cOOlie labor, whether Chinese or Jan
aneSe, strong commentator of the pres
ent civil service policy; Endorsement of
the plan to grant a subsidy in the inter
est of the ocean mails to South Amer
lea and Australasia, and for the encOur-
agement of American shipping generally
There Will be d demand for the con-
tinuatiOn of the policies of the present
administration toward corporations. At
tention viii be called to the wisdom of
carrying into effect all the recommended
lions Of the president and the necessity
for a square deal" all round, for the
enforcement of the law without regard to
persons or places and for the equal pro-
lection of all, under the law, will be
emphasized.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-06-08
The Colonies.

Much care Will be given TO the planks
dealing with the Philippines and Cuba
The pacific attitude of this country to-
ward Cuba will be held to have been
demonstrated by the present relation
ship Of the two countries and by the
generally known fact that. having re-
stored peace and order to that island,
the United States is now preparing to
bring its protectOrate to an end and
remove the evidences of its control
Our management of affairs in the Phil
ippines will be extOlled; il will be
agreed that the Philippines are pros
pering and improving under the present
administration of affairs, and it will
probably be set forth that TO abandon
those islands until our work there is
finished and the Philippine people made
ready for self-gOVernment would be in
human, unwise and in every way I'M
justifiable.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-06-08

As usual, the platform will declare for
protection of the civil liberties of the ne
gro race a special effort viii be made
to have this plank comprehensive and
emphatic. There will be strong declara-
ton in favor Of continued Improvement
of the navy, including constant increases
of our battleships, with the end in view
Of protecting our interests abroad. main
tanning our standing among the nations
and supporting the Monroe doctrine
which doctrine will again receive unquali-
fled Endorsement. There will be a word
in favor of the maintenance of the army
on its present basis. but no Recommended
ton for its enlargement, The action of
congress in increasing the pensions of
the widows of soldiers will be commend
ed and a liberal pension policy for the
future viii be advocated

he was awakened with an attack of this

He turned the lamp down before again
retiring, as he expected a similar attack
before daylight, and wanted the lamp so
he could get the medicine without delay.
About 2:30 he was aroused from sleep
by loud explosion. He jumped from the
bed and found his night clothes in flames,
and glancing around the room found the
bed clothes burning furiously and burn

quickly tore off his clothes and rushed

burning oil in all directions. The loss
will be about S2100.

ROBE SENTENCED TO
PRISON FOR LIFE
MEsKIL's AccoMPLEcE NERVED
UP TO FACE FATE
Pathetic Scene In Witness Room When
Convicted Youth Parts with His
Wife and ChIId--New Trial
ls Denied

As he stood before Judge B. N.
Smith yesterday morning to receive
sentence Rolla Robe, the companion of
Daniel F.. Meslxil. showed less nervous
ness than he had during the three days
of his trial.
That he had nerved himself for the
trying ordeal was evident from his
manner, and the quick drawn breaths
of the young man proved that he was
laboring under strain which with
difficulty he hid from the curious eyes
of the crowd in the court room.
But when the sentence of life impris-
onment in San Quentin, which he knew
must come, was imposed, Robe turned
his head and the last faint hope he
may have entertained died from his
heart.
Mrs. Robe, who had cheered her hus-
band by her presence during the long
hours of the trial, was in the court
room a half hour before the time for
the opening of the session. The little
woman looked careworn and anxious,
but when Robe appeared bravely
smiled in greeting.
Nothing to Say
When the court asked the prisoner
If he had anything to say before SEN
tence was pronounced he replied In the
negative.
A motion for a new trial was made
by Robes attorneys, the usual grounds
being cited, but was denied.
As the young man left the court
room, accompanied by deputy sheriff.
he was followed closely by his wife,
and the leave-taking of the couple IN
the little witness room was extremely
pathetic.
No date for Robes departure for the
state prison has yet been set, but 1t
will probably take place early the COM
ing week.
Rolla Robe was arrested November
80, following the robbery of the Gros-
ser winery on Central avenue and the
killing of Patrolman Patrick II. Lyons.
He was at the time accompanied by
Daniel F. Meskil. who was Monday
sentenced to death, 1t having been
proved that his hand fired the shot
Meskil's arrest took place December
g. and the further proceedings in tho
case were carried on with swiftness
almost without a parallel in the Grim
inal history of the county.
