DOUBT HIS GUILT
Some Belief That Perhaps
Washelesky Did Not Com
nit Murder. Z
CHANGE IN JURY SYSTEM
Members of the Bar May Ask Lcgisla-
ton OF Next General
Assembly.

Unusual interest seems to have de-
veloped in the case of John Washelesky
who was hanged at the states prison
at Wethersfield early yesterday morn
ing. For some reason the doubt in
some minds Of the guilt Of the Pole OF
the murder Of Peter Luckawicz has
crystalzed into firm belief Of his in
nocence. II Is understood that Attor-
ney Howard C. Webb, who defended
the accused stlll maintains that the
man was innocent and the latter's last
words on the scaffold declaring this has
set the lawyers mind
He exhausted every means to save
the man. He. asked another reprieve
of Governor Woodruff and this was
not denied until 8 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon.
Out OF the case Is likely to come an
organized movement for change In
the jury system Of this state. The
movement 1t Is said will start among
the members of the bar of this city,
who will go to the next Legislature and
demand that action be taken.

Idaho Board of Pardons Com
mutes Death Sentence of
Man Who Confessed
to Murder.
REsENTS interference
Tells Attorney Just Before Board
Meets That He Hoped Efforts
to Save Him from Gallows
Would Fail.

Boise, Idaho. July 1.-The state
board Of pardons to-day commuted
the sentence of Harry Orchard. who
was under sentence to hang next Fri
day for the murder of former Cover
nor Frank Steunenberg to imprison-
ment for life
Orchard was arrested two days after
the assassination of former Governor
Steunenberg at Caldwell, Idaho, De-
cember 30. 1905, and confessed his
guilt asserting that he was employed
TO commit the crime by officers of the
Western Federation of Miners. As j
result Of his confession. Charles II.
Meyer, president; william u. Hay
wood secretary treasurer Of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
Charles p, Pettibone were arrested
and brought to Idaho to answer the
charge of murder.
Haywood and Pettihone We're ac-
Quilted after memorable trials In
which orchard told O story of whole
sale assassination which shocked the
world Following the trial of Petit
bone the case against MoYer was dis
missed. Orchard, when arraigned.
stood mute and the court directed that
q plea OF not guilty be entered His
case was continued from term to term
until April 10 of this year, when It
: was called at Caldwell and. he asked
for permission to change his plea. The
court granted the request and Orch
ard pleaded guilty of murder in the
first degree. In pronouncing the
sentence of death q week later, Judge
Wood recommended that the board Of
: paicons commute the sentence, say
ing he was firmly convinced that
Orchard had told the exact truth at
the trials of Haywood and Pettibone
and that he was therefore, for the SER
vice he had rendered TO the state, en-
titled to clemency.
The pardon board, consisting Of
Governor Gooding, Secretary of State
Laasdon and Attorney Geacral Guhen,
met ir.-regular session to-day and took
Nup the orchard case.
Frank Mason appeared before the
board and presented a formal argu-
ment in behalf of Orchard. basing his
plea solely on the legal status Of the
case and maintaining that n making
Orchard a states witness, the state
Obligated itself to extend consideration
to him in return. No one appeared to
oppose the proposed commutatlon and
By the unanimous vote OF the board
c!emency was extended
Orchard to the last was opposed TO
having sentence interfered with. Only
yesterday he said TO the attorney that
H. hoped efforts 10 save him from the
Eallows would fail.

KELLOGG OUT OF 1T.
Federal Prosecutor Eliminated
from Campaign Commit
tee Race.
CONSIDERED BY PRESIDENT
Kellogg and Committeeman Ward Hold
Three-Hour Political Confab
at Oyster Bay.

New York, July 1.--Following a day
OF gossip concerning the chairmanship
Of the republican national committee
II was learned definitely tonight that
Frank b. Kellogg is out of the race
in which, In fact, he has never vol
unfairly taken part.
There were rumors throughout the
day that Mr.. Kellogg had been decid-
ed upon and the fact that he took
luncheon with President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill was construed as
Strengthening this report. Seen at
his hotel tonight Mr.. Kellogg had
nothing to say regarding the report
which connected his name with the
Craftsmanship.
1t was learned, however, that dur
ing the conference at Oyster Bay this
afternoon. In which the president,
Mr.. Kellogg and National Committee
man William Ward OF New York par
ticipated, and again tonight
when Mr. Kellogg and Mr.. Ward met
Elmer Dover, secretary OF the nation
al committee, at the Waldorf Astoria,
Mr.. Kellogg's name was tentatively
considered. Mr. Kellogg, however,
succeeded in impressing upon his po-
litical friends that his name must not
be further considered for the chair
manship.
Mr. Kellogg's position as counsel
for the government in the Standard
OH and other prosecutions, is In itself
held by him to be sufficient to pre-
clude his selection as the manager of
Secretary Taft's campaign. II was
said that this was the strongest argu-
ment presented against Mr.. Kellogg
by himself or the specific purpose
of the Oyster Bay conference and
what matters other than political were
discussed none OF those who took
part would say anything.
Members OF the subcommittee are
still considering the availability of
many candidates for the craftsmanship
and 1t can be confidently stated that
no open tender of the position has been
made to anyone and Will not be until
It Is ascertained that such selection
will be satisfactory to all the members
of the national committee, A successor
to Cornelius N. Bliss as treasurer Of
the committee will have to be chosen.
Mr.. Bliss has been treasurer since 1892
and has Informed his friends that he
feels that he could not stand the strain
Of another campaign and that while he
Is ready to aid in the committee In
every way possible he would like to re-
tire.
Moderate opinion inclnes to the be-
lief that the committee viii seek to
prevail upon Mr. Bliss to again accept
the office and elect an assistant treas
urer upon whose shoulders Will fall tho
greater part OF the work.
Upon the heels Of this rumor, how
ever came tonight n hint that Mr.
Kelloggs mission was really on behalf
of Frank n. Hitchcock heretofore most
perslstently discussed In connection
with the chairmanship.

ARREST OF J. E. MEACHEM
Big Knock-Down by Conductor on
Derby Run Revealed by
New York Detec.
tlyes.

AS a climax to a vigorous cam
paign which the Connecticut COM
nany has been waging since the first
of the year to get rid Of all dishonest
conductors in its service came the
arrest yesterday afternoon in the of
fee OF the company In this city OF
j. f.. Meachem OF Grand avenue, a
conductor on the Derby run. The
ompany has been working to rid the
I'd OF dishonest servants, and In
lis work over one hundred and twen
~ conductors on the yar'ous lines ops
Grated by the Connecticut company
have been discharged since the first Of
the year and their names posted for a
salutary effect In the cities In which
they worked: This, however. did not
seem TO have the desired result, and
II was finally decided that only the
application OF the law would result in
the correction OF the abuse. Then
the services OF the r. Edward Wisch
detective agency of New York city
was called in and about a dozen men
from the service have been at work
on the lines about the state. As n re-
suit of evidence they secured Meach-

He Is charged with four counts of
embezzlement by agent. These COW
or the last four days Of June. The
first two OF the days he is charged
with knocking down 1925 in fares
for each day. while the other two
days the amounts are less
The road claims to have acted care
fully in the matter and has endeav-
ored to make sure OF the evidence in
any case TO be brought up. The road
Will claim in the case of Meachem
that he collected fares from seven
different detectives employed by the
company which he failed to ring up.
Meachem was called into the office
OF the company yesterday afternoon
and there was placed under arrest by
Detective Sergeant Dennehy. He Is
married He entered the employ of
the road In March and In his appli-
cation stated that he had been n
walter In New York hotel He did
not state the reason for leaving there
II Is alleged by the company that he
was discharged for some reason not
given by the company In Springfield
The officials OF the company stated
last night that hereafter no leniency
will be shown to guilty men and they
will be punished to the full extent of

Is lost by the company through fail
ure to ring up fares. One of the off,
GERS stated yesterday after Meachem's
arrest that the company had held off
as long as 1t could. Such arrests have
the result Of rejecting upon the. many
honest employees OF the company and
this was something that neither the
men nor the company rellshed but
could not be avoided.

Activity of State Police Results
in Warrants Being Served
on Over a Dozen
Places.
HOTELS ARE NOT LEFT OUT
Cases to Come Up for Trial In West
Haven Court at 10 O'Clock This
Morning-Much Interest
Taken.

AS a result OF the activity Of the
state police along the West Shore dur
ing the month of June. there was
general roundup Of proprietors Of ho-
tells and saloons at Savin Rock yester-
day afternoon, and warrants were
served on over dozen places, charg-
ing violations on Sunday the
7th and Sunday the 18th. The
serving Of the warrants did not
come as a surprise to many people.
although there were a few of the pro-
prietors who did not expect 1t. The
n-.nber of counts charged in the diff
ferent cases varied, In some only one
violation being charged and in others
as many as five. 1t Is known that in
some cases, where there will not be a
denial of violation on one of the
counts, the proprietors will claim en-
tire innocence of others but may not
fight the charge.
In one instance proprietor ID
charged on two counts, June and
June IA. The proprietor states that
while liquor may have been sold at his
place on one of those dates, he posi-
lively denies that any was sold on tha
other. In this case and in one or two
others there is some talk Of vigorous
fight, but 1t seems that the state police
have the upper hand since 1t would
cost the men more money to fight the
cases and carry them to the higher
court than 1t would be to settle.
There was some surprise when war-
rants were served on the hotels yes.
terday for 1t was generally thought
that me proprietors might serve a
guest at meals with whatever refresh-
ments he desired.
The warrants were sworn out by
Omar H. platt Of Milford, liquor prosa-
cutor for the district. Chief Loomis
of the West Haven police served nine
of the warrants and fiye others were
served by members of the state police.
The cases win come up In the West
Haven court this morning.
Following are the places where It Is
alleged the Sunday law was violated:
Waverly Grove House, Albert Good
year; Moffatt & Roach, O'Connelps
hotel. Henry Welsbecker Surf House,
John Cox, proprietor, warrant for his
bartender; Barrett & Sandals; Raf2
files hotel, warrant for bartender, Bert
Blancher; Elm Tree Inn, Charles
Swanson; Hotel lime; Hills Home
stead, warrant for Edward Moriarty,
bartender; Beach House, William H.
Moegling; Rock Island Hotel, lAbe Err
lick; Stanfords Hotel, Central Hotel
and Sullivan's.
The warrants for the last four were
served by state policemen, the others
by Chief Loomis.

President Northrops views on the con-
test and especially on the famous gov

est. DR., Northrop. who IS personally
very well acquainted with both Bryan

formed on very good knowledge of the
actual state of affairs, johnson will
have no show for the democratic nom

Denver. But" he continued, mo man

stands such a chance for the nomina-

as does Johnson. If the conditions are
anything like what they are today. |
am certain that al the next election the
democratic party win look very care
fully for man with a chance to win
and as It looks today cannot see any
man who will be so large figure as
johnson? Bryan can be looked upon as
not a candidate, for II he Is elected this

of only one term and probably woui1
not run again, while If he is defeated
the party will hardly turn to him
again"
Regarding the present convention Dr.
Northrop said that Bryan has the votes

any successful opposition to him. He
