The last sad rites over the remains
of thelate Mrs. G. D. Hollecker took
place at the family residence at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon. When
the time came for holding the SER
vices the large house was crowded
with the many friends of the deceas-
ed, come to pay last homage to the
memory of one whose graceful life,
with its myriad beauties, will ever
be enshrined in their hearts.
The simple and beautiful services
were conducted by Bishop L. R.
Brewer of the Episcopal church, as
sisted by the Rev. E. N. English of
St. Matthew's church of this city.
Seldom has it fallen to the lot of
any mortal in Glendive to have such
a beautiful obituary uttered over
their bier, as fell from the lips of
the aged but eloquent bishop, on
this occasion when he was called
upon to say the last words over a
greatly loved member of the church.
A quartet composed of J. H. Lane,
j.. A. Metcalf, Mrs. Cushing and
Miss Mary Osborne rendered Jesus,
Lover of My Soul, Rock of Ages"
and There's Blessed Home" the
first being Mrs. Hollecker's favorite
hymn. The pallbearers were all en-
ployes of the Hollecker department
store.
Following the services at the Hol-
lecker residence, the funeral cortege
wended its way to the Glendive
cemetery, where the remains were
consigned to earth after few words
from Rev. Brewer. Despite the ex-
treme chill of the late autumn after
noon, hundreds of friends followed
the remains to the cemetery as
last token Of respect. Under the
overcast sky, it seemed that all Ma
ture mourned in sympathy with the
sorrowing relatives and the people
of the city and county, as the re-
mains were lowered into their last
resting place on the bleak mesa
which comprises the Glendive ceme-
terry.
AS mark of respect for the de-
ceased and for the stricken family,
practically all the business houses of
Glendive were closed during the
hours of the funeral.
Mrs. George D. Hollecker came to
Glendive with her husband and
daughters, Jessie and Marie, some
Is years ago and had resided here

GOVERNOR JOHNSON OF MINNESOTA.
KILLED IN DUEL

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 9.-Former
Senator Edward Carmack, editor of
the Tennesseean, was shot and killed
this afternoon about 4 o'clock on Sew
enth avenue north, in front of the Polk
flats, by Robin Cooper, a son of Col.
Duncan R. Cooper. Mr.. Carmack was
going north on Seventh avenue, in
front of the flats, and Colonel Coop
er and his son were approaching Sew
enth avenue on Union street. Soon
after they came in sight of one another
the shooting began, Robin Cooper, it
is said, firing two shots and Senator
Carmack one.
Col. Cooper it is said, drew his
pistol but did not fire.
Senator Carmack fell to the gaound,
dying instantly Robin Cooper was
shot in the right shoulder, but was
not badly hurt.
It's understood that the trouble is
one of the results of "a recent dem
ocratic gubernatorial primary in which
Carmack was defeated. Carmack had
since he became editor of the Tenn
esseean been quite caustic in critic
ising what he called the democratic
machine and had printed several editor
ia1s about Colonel Cooper.
Within the past few days, it is as
serted, Colonel Cooper notified Car
mack that those editorial criticisms
must cease. This morning another ed
itorial referring to Colonel Cooper
appeared in the paper, and this IS
supposed to have been the immediate
cause of the trouble.
AS Senator Carnack fell at the
edge of the street Col. Duncan b.
Cooper put his arm around Robin
Cooper and both walked down
Seventh avenue to DIR. R. G. Fort S
office, where the slight wound in
Robins's shoulder was examined and
treated. An ambulance carried the
body of Mr.. Carmack to an under
taking establishment. The pistol of
Carmack, a 80 caliber, was lying at
his side with two of the chambers
empty when the body was picked up,
and was turned over to an officer. The
stump of a cigar Mr.. Carnaack had
been smoking was also in the street
beside him.
Young Cooper was later carried to
hospital and Colonel Cooper is held at

police headquarters. He has made no
statement.
Robin Cooper is practicing attor-
ney, 27 years of age and single.
Opposition Fades Away.

Denver, Nov. 9.-Hearty applause
was given President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
by the delegates to the twenty eighth
annual convention of the organization
at its opening session today, and also
at the close of his report, which he
read at the afternoon session, and was
interpreted to indicate that there will
be no effective opposition to his re-
election.
The statment that there will be a
big fight in the convention in regard
to the action taken by President Com
pers in the recent campaign will not be
fulfilled" said John Mitchell, former
president of the United Mine Workers
of America and delegate to the labor
convention, today.
''The action of Mr.. Gompers was
the result of instructions given him by
the federation at previous conventions,
and he will have practically the entire
support of the present convention.
It is true there may be fight on
the question of allowing the fedora
tion to be brought into politics in the
future, but I do not think Mr.. Com
pers will be censured for the part he
played in supporting Mr.. Bryan" :"
The reading of the reports of the
president consumed more than three
hours, and the reports of the secretary
and treasurer were then read in ab-
breviated form. The secretary's re-
port showed that the federation had
had a prosperous year.
President Gompers' report was a
long and exhaustive accounting of the
work performed by the president dur
ing the past year. At the outset he de-
clared ''there must not be permitted
to grow up or to be maintained a per-
manent army of unemployed.
The part of the report that touched
on the Buck Stove and Range company
injunction case was frequently inter-
rupted by applause. The statement of
the stand taken by John Mitchell,
Frank Morrison and Samuel Gompers
on the injunction matter was also
applauded.

MORSE GETS
BIG SENTENCE
Termination of the Famous Trial in New York
Heinze To Hear His Fate Later On.

crowds began to throng the corridors
OF the federal building and flock to
the courtroom, hoping to witness the
closing scenes in the sensational case.
Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Curtis were
among the early arrivals; Mrs. Morse
first, accompanied by her stepsons.
She greeted her husband affectionately
and the two boys shook hands warmly
with their father. Next came Mrs.
Curtis. She threw her arms around
her husband. kissed him and then
sank into seat beside Mrs. Morse
and the boys. From that time the crowd
gathered quickly until at 10 80 o clock
there was not vacant seat in the
courtroom, and the corridors outside
were filled.
The lawyers for the defense had
scarcely taken their places within the
railing before court was formerly
opened, Ex-Judge Olcott, who had
represented Curtis in the trial, made
touching appeal for clemency on be-
half of his client. In this appeal he
was given the active aid Of District
Attorney Stimson, who informed the
court that he believed justice would be
served by suspending sentence in the
case of Curtis. After justifying the
clemency for Curtis Judge Hough pro-
nounced the sentence upon Morse.
''In the case of Morse there is not
:11uch to be said," said Judge Hough.
GAS IL all bank fraud cases, the Grim
inal legality is only part of larger
general scheme. In this case this was
to use the bank and the depositors'
money for speculative purposes. If
such a scheme were permitted to be
carried out, the public would be at the
mercy of a band of adventures. I
therefore sentence you to Is years in
the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga"
There had been murmur of ap-
proval and faint attempt at applause
when sentence upon Curtis was sus-
pended by the court, but it was sup
pressed by the attendants.
When the fate of Morse was pro-
nounced the courtroom was as still as
a church and the first sound to break
in on the quietness were the sobs of
the prisoner wife and the hurried
shuttle of feet as she was led away to
an ante room. Morse followed her in
charge of Marshal Henkel. A mo-
ment later the crowd began to move
slowly out of the courtroom. Few Of
them left the building, however, and
when Curtis came out of the building
a free man with his wife leaning on
his arm he was given rousing cheer.

Now York, Nov. 6.-From a cell il
as Tombs prison Charles w. Morse
.,u directs the efforts of his counsel
~ secure his freedom, he having, to-
3av been sentenced to serve Is years
IN tbe federal prison at Atlanta, Ca,
for misapplication Of the funds of the
National Bank of North America and
making false entries in the books OF
the bank.
Alfred H. Curtis, former president
fthe defunct bank, who was jointly
tried and convicted with Morse, was
given his liberty today on a suspend
ed sentence.
The trial of Heinze may begin in
January.
A crowd of more than 600 men and
women followed Morse and two deputy
narshals who had him in charge from
the federal building to the doors of
heTombs As they trailed along the
crowd jeered and hooted.
"How would you like to be the ice
man." shouted some one as the little
man walked along between the two
big deputies. You'll get no ice in
there" yelled another.
These and similar expressions fol-
lowed the prisoner until the heavy
barred doors Of the prison had closed
behind them. Morse was assigned to
the sane cell he had occupied with
Curtis last night.
He declined to make any comment
@his conviction and sentence today.
i haven't word to say, that is, not
now, he said.

the sentence was pronounced by Judge

 better politics for him to root for tho renomination of Woodruff and the en- tire state crowd. In view of the pop ularity of the governor in the small towns of the state this might be good personal politics and It would in ad- ditlon have the effect of removing Lllley altogether from the political field unless he should undertake to seek his vindicatlon In another run for congress.
 The friends of Mir. Lake realize that he has been beaten in his run for the nomination. but they are not yet ready to climb aboard the Lllley band wag- on which is not in the pest travelling condition. The practical politicians of both parties are disturbed by the sit- uation so far as Lllley Is concerned. That he has already secured the sup port of the managers of the republican party Is admitted but there is no such confidence among them as there was that he can be elected. He Is dis tinctly weaker this week than he was last and he will continue to grow so. The friends of Governor Woodruff still hope and profess to believe that he will have to be drafted in the interest of party harmony, while the demo- cratic leaders are seriously canvasslng the field for the best possible nominee in the belief that such man can win at the polls with the electoral vote going to Taft.
 A man who knows Com actlcut poli- ties as he knows his alphlbet said to the representative of The Journal Courier to-day that with I.illey nomin- ated by the republicans the democrats would have a good chance of carrying the state. IL is said that jtate Sena- tor McNeil will not accept the nomin- ation, which has turned 'he attention of the mathematlcians 70 George NJ. Gum of Milford first, to A. Heaton | Robertson of New Haven, second. and to Melbert B. Cary of Ridg field third. | It Is believed that with any one of these men. Gum preferred. cam 1 pagn would follow which would make the fur fly. The Idea appears to be as acceptable to the friends of Mir Bryan as to the old line democrats.
 A still other source of republican nervousness Is the movement against Senator Frank Brandegec, Both he and Senator Bulkeiey are thoroughly alarmed at the situation and are work. ing tooth and nail to secure friendl, nominees to the general assembly With all these counter currents al work there is a likelihood of a loca campaign which will interest the vot

HONORS CLEVELAND
San Jacinto Reserve Becomes the Cleveland National
 Forest.
ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS IT
Tn Letter to Mrs. Cleveland Acknowl- edges Country's Debt 10 For
 mer President.

oyster Bay. N, r., July 14.-Presl- dent Roosevelt has written a letter to Mrs. Grover Cleveland informing her of proclamation he has signed changing the name of the S&n Jaclnto National Forest to the Cleveland Ne- tional Forest in honor of the late former president. The letter is as follows:
 oyster Bay, July IF, 1908.
 My Dear Mrs. Cleveland: It has recently been my privilege to sign a proclamation changing he name of the San Jacinto National Forest to the Cleveland National Forest. May I express to you the very great pleasure 1t gave me to take that action-a pleasure mingled with a keen sense of the loss to our country and to our Cleveland, on February 22. 1907, President Cleveland signed the proc lamatlon creating the San Jaclnto Forest Reserve in Southern California. The date, February %, was no mere  accident since the signature of the proclamation was timed to co-incide with the birthday of our first presl- dent.
 President Cleveland was enc of the first to recognize the need of forest preservation and the reservation of the San Jacinto and other forest re. l serves with total area of 56,6S6,32C acres was one of the results of his foresight in this direction. Through. out his life he took great interest in conserving the natural resources ot tho nation; and I particularly regret. ted his inability to attend the meet. ! ing of the governors in May because ! that meeting was in part the fruit o seed he had sown years before. Tn, name of Grover Cleveland will al ways he prominently identified wit the movement to protect the forest. of the United States and 1t seemed tt me eminently fitting that one of tn, ! forests he created should bear hi name throughout all time.
 Sincerely yours.
