morning of his forty-second birthday,
next Wednesday, in the District

Orchard, confessed murderer of form
er Gov. Frank Steunenberg, who was
killed by the explosion of bomb at
the gate of his residence, In Caldwell,
on the evening of December 80, 1905,

pared to hear the death sentence
melted out to him.
Harry Orchard, of his own volition
and against the urgent pleadings OF
his attorney and others, refused,
when arraigned on March 10, to let
HIS previous plea of mot guilty
stand. He also refused to plead to
lesser degree of murder than first
degree. He said:
II am guilty and am ready to take
my punishment l have told the
truth. understand fully what
must be the consequences.
Some expressions are heard that
Orchard has been guaranteed i'm
munity of some sort. This is denied
by those in authority and by Orchard.
Those who have been in close COM

ficers and spiritual advisers AL ex-
press the opinion that should an eff

1t is the general belief that Or

wishes to suffer the extreme penalty
for his crimes. Orchard refuses to
make any statement for publication.

FLEET ARRIVES -FOUR
DAYS AHEAD OF Time
Successful Cruise Of $4,000 Niles
is Completed.

Washington, D. C. Especially The
Navy Department received a message
from Rear Admiral Evans announc-
ing the battleship fleet had ar
rived off Magdalens Bay Admiral
Evans states the the trip from CAL
lao was made in IL days and 20
hours, two days ahead Of the sched-
ule.
The Admiral reports that the fleet
is in better condition than when it
left Hampton Roads and that it is
ready for any service on one days
notice. Admiral Evans announces
that target practice will be begun as
soon as ranges can be established.
The news of the arrival of the fleet
in such good condition at Magdaiena
Bay was received with great salts
faction at the department.
The run from Callao was one of
the longest of the legs, being over,
5000 miles. The department only.
announced the itinerary as far as
Magdalena Bay, for it was intended
that the feet should remain there
until the target practice had finished.
A few days ago, the itinerary for
the trip from Magdalena Bay to San
Francisco was announced. It con-
templated five stops-the first at San
Diego coronado Beach,, Santa Bar
bara, San Pedro, Santa Cruz and San
Francisco.
1t is expected that the fleet will
remain at Magdalena Bay engaged
in target practice for at least a
month, and that it will take the
ships three weeks longer to go up
the coast of California and make the
stops named, and it is not expected
that they will reach San Francisco
before the first week in May.
Secretary Metcalf, who is going to
San Francisco to welcome the feet,
will leave Washington about April
rs and reach the Coast a few days
before the feet arrives at the Golden
Gate. The department is perfectly
satisfied with the cruise and declares
that as practice cruise it has come
up to expectations and has afforded
opportunities for drills, evolutions
and other naval tactics, and for care
full and exacting seamanship in wa
tiers of which many American naval
men are comparatively new.
The trip has been made without
accident to any of the vessels. The
naval officials declare that there is
genuine cause for congratulations
over the manner in which the fleet
has completed it's voyage.

No Evidence To Connect Ala With
The Anarchists.
Denver, Col Especially Giuseppe
Ala, who shot and killed Father Leo
Heinrichs in ST. Elizabeth's Church
in this city February %, was found
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Hanging was the penalty fixed by the
jury.
In the argument just before the
Jury took the case MIR. Wfddiccmbe
said that the only possible explana-
ton of the murder is that the man
is an anarchist or is insane. There
was absolutely no evidence that the
man is an anarchist, and the fact that
he practically was in starving con-
dition would indicate that he was
not member of any society. Other
wise, he would have had enough to
eat at least.
District Attorney G. A. Stidger in
his closing argument asked:
t'When everything in the life of
the prisoner shows that this man is
sane, is an American jury to find
him insane?" He said that if not an
alienist had testified to the prison
er's sanity the jury could find no evil
dence of insanity in Ala, unless 1t
adopted the theory of DIR. Tosti, that
every murderer is insane.
