NO OPPOSITION TO
LIFE IMPRISONMENT

Boise, Idaho, May 6.--Governor
Gooding today granted a reprleve to
Harry Orchard, who was sentenced
to hang Friday of next week, until
July 2. This action was taken be-
cause the question was raised as TO
the legality of the board of pardons
acting on new matter at a special ses-
sion.
When the Orchard case came up
before the board a petition was pre-
sented asking that the sentence of
death be commuted to life imprison-
ment. The attorneys representing Or
chard were prepared to introduce sup
port for this request and there would
apparently have been no opposition If
the board had decided to change the
punishment to be meted out to the
self-confessed murderer. The board
decided. however, that its action at
this session would be Illegal and on
this decision Governor Gooding issued
reprieve so that the board will have
an opportunity OF acting on the petit

Ottawa, Ont, May 6.-It has be-
come apparent that the statesmen OF
Great Britain have been converted to
the view of those OF Canada as to the
undesirability of Oriental immigration
and that Canada should be a country
for the white man. This fact is an
nounced by Deputy Minister of Labor
W l.. Mackenzie King, who has just
returned to ottawa from London,
where he has been negotiating an un-
derstanding through the imperial
ministry with the authorities In In
dia relative to Hindoo emigration to
Canada, a movement which has be-
come alarming to Canadians.
King announced that the Imperial
authorities view the question of immi-
grafton OF Orientals into overseas
countries as one Of the largest and
most complex OF the present world
problems They appreciate the Can
adian view that the question could
best be met by sympathetic co-opera-
tion on the part of Great Britain. In

this morning for which an explana-

Five bodies. some of them dismem-
bered and the parts sewn in gunny-
sacks, were unearthed yesterday in
the barn yard of the burned Guinness
house one miles out of town. These,

led to the arrest of Ray Lamppere a

Mrs. Guinness is believed to be the
murderer of the men and children.
one dead man was lured to the GUM

tisement. Two of Mrs. Guinness hus-
bands died under suspicious circum-
stances and both were insured. Twice

both cases she collected insurance.

that Mrs. Belle Guinness wa one Of

startling theory that the woman did
not die In the fire which destroyed
her home on the night of April 2S,

is strengthened by the fact that the

WHERE OUR SILVER GOES.

tttla IsW IIlllauslpllld I'Fts3.
China and India remain the leading
customers of the silver mines, but both
these Asiatic lands have greatly cur
tailed their purchases in the past
couple of years. Just now the bazaars
of India are perhaps the leading GUS
toners of silver in the entire world.
Iudia's absorption of silver has been
one of the strange occurrences of the
past century. Silver flows to the land
of the Hindu and disappears, just as
gold at the rate of over $4,000 900 Il
year is now being swallowed up by
mankind.
Hard times and panics have no in
fuence apparently upon the yellow
metal nor the ability of the world to
devour it, but they affect the white
just as they do the red and gra,
metals. Silver. like copper and iron.
has become largely a thing of ordlnars
commerce instead OF Il money medium.
But since it is chiefly used in the arts
and sciences, silyer's value huctuates
rapidly as do other commodities when
the demand increases or. falls suddenly.
That Is why a general business de-
preston hurts the price of silver just
as it does the value of copper and iron.
