MURAT HALsTEAD DEAD.
Half A Century A Leader In
Journalism.

Cincinnati (Special) .-Murat Hal
stead one of the leaders in Ameri-
can journalism for over half cen
tury and widely known as a vigor-
Gus editorial and magazine writer,
died at his home in this city in his
seventy-ninth year. At his bedside
we're his wife, his son Robert and
one daughter, Mrs. Arthur Stem, Mr..
Halstead had been failing in strength
for several months and yesterday suf-
fered from cerebral hemorrhage. His
physicians this morning told the FAM
lily that the death was simply ques-
tion of hours, and those of the fam
lily at a distance were at once noti-
fed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Halstead celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary
March 2, 1907, at which time Mr..
Halstead's health seemed frail, and
as time passed he grew weaker, so
that the news of his death was not
wholly unexpected. The sudden
death OF his son Marshall, a few
months ago, was a severe shock to
him, and it is believed to have had
an adverse effect on his health. AL
bert Halstead, another son, is Ameri-
can counsel at Birmingham. England
and other members of the family are
scattered throughout the country.

.ENGLISHMEN WANT
TO SAVE DAYLIGHT
Proposition to Put Clocks Up Eighty
Minutes.
WOULD NEW YORK ADOPT PLAN ?
Parliamentary Committee Reports
That the bill Would Give Business
Men Gain Of One Hour and
Twenty Minutes Of Daylight Would
Benefit Employees.

London (By Cable) The com
mittee OF the House of Commons tC
which William Pearse's bill to save
daylight was referred amid roars oi
laughter on March 26 reports, com.
mending that for scientific purposes
Greenwich mean time should be used
as heretofore. II considers the object
of the bill is desirable, as It would
benefit large class of the communi.
~. The measure, as submitted TO
the committee, proposes that all
clocks in the United Kingdom shall
on a certain date be advanced so
minutes, thereby giving to business
men an immediate gain OF 1 hour
and 20 minutes of daylight
The committee reports that the
weight of evidence submitted to 1t
agrees with and supports the view
of the advocates of the measure.
Among other advantages, 1t would
benefit the physique in general and
the general health and welfare of
the people, lessen the use of saloons
and reduce the expenditure for arti-
ficial light, on which it is estimated
pence (1S cents) a week.
Answering objections, the commit
tee says that interference with Amer
lean business might be obviated with
out serious dislocation or loss. The
various interests affected could adapt
themselves to the alteration without
much initial difficulty.
The supporters of the bill include
many chambers of commerce, bor-
ough councils, railways representa-
tives of the manufacturing and shop
keeping classes, numerous assoca-
tions for recreative purposes, school
masters and others interested in the
education and welfare of children.
The majority of the newspapers are
in favor of the proposed change and
the postofiice authorities have declar-
ed that the business of the United
Kingdom with the colonies and the
United States easily could be accom-
modated with the proposals of the
bill. Although the London Stock
Exchange is hostile to the bill, the
Liverpool Stock Exchange is neutral
and is prepared to adopt the change
should the bill be passed. 1t is un-
0NAoAOpb AhoL elh thOll W III Dt
to secure its passage at the autumn
session, should it not be passed be-
fore the rising of the House in Aug
ust.
Mr.. Willet, who was the originator
of the scheme that Mr.. Pierce put
into the form of bill, is perfectly
satisfied with the committees re-
port. He says that from converse
tions he has had with several Ameri-
cans he is convinced that the British
Parliament's acceptance of the bill
would have a very significant effect
upon the thought of the commercial
classes of New York. "1f / were a
betting man." he said, 81 should say
there is at least a 2-to-1 chance in
favor of New York adopting the
idea"

HARRY ORCHARD
NOT TO Be HUNG
Pardon Board Commutes Sentence
10 Life Term.
NO ONE OPPOSED CONCENTRATION.
Notorious Witness Against officials of
the Western Federation of Miners
Has Clemency Extended to Him-tIe
Says He Had Rather Hang-Judge
Wood Recommended Action of Board.

Boise. Idaho Especially The State
Board of Pardons commuted the sen.
tence of Harry Orchard, who was un.
der sentence to hang Friday for the
murder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg, to Imprisonment for
life.
Orchard was arrested two days af-
ter the assassination of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg at Caldwell, Ida
no. December 30, 1905, and few
weeks later, while confined in the
Idaho Penitentiary, confessed his
guilt to James MCFARLAND, we'll
known detective, at the same time
asserting that he was employed to
commit the crime by officers of the
Western Federation of Miners. AS
result of his confession Charles
II. Meyer, president, and William d.
Haywood secretary-treasurer, of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
Charles ID. Pettibone, were arrested
in Denver and brought to Idaho to
answer the charge of murder.
John Simpkins, another member
of the federation, was also indicted,
and is still fugitive. Haywood and
Pettibone were acquitted after mem-
orable trials, in which Orchard told
a story of wholesale assassinations
which shocked the world.
Following the trial of Pettibone
the case against Meyer was dismiss
ed.
Orchard, who was indicted sep
arately, when arraigned after his
confession, stood mute, and the
court directed that a 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 per-
mission to change his plea. The
court granted the request, and Or
chard pleaded guilty to murder in
the first degree.
In pronouncing the sentence of
death, a week later, Judge Wood
recommended that the Board of Par
dons commute the sentence, saying
he was firmly convinced that Orchard
had told the whole and exact truth
at the trials of Haywood and Pet
tibone, and that he was, therefore,
for the service he had rendered the
State entitled to clemency.
The board in taking this action,
acted on the recommendation of
Judge Fremont Wood, made at the
time of sentencing Orchard.
The pardon board, consisting of
Governor Gooding. Secretary of State
Lansdon and Attorney General Gu
hen, met in regular session to-
day and took up the Orchard case
Frank Wyman, appointed by the
court to represent Orchard, appeared
before the board and presented a
formal argument in behalf of his
client, basing his plea solely on the
legal status of the case and main
tanning, as held by Judge Wood in
recommending clemency, that in
making Orchard a States witness
the State obligated itself to extend
consideration to him in return. No
one appeared to oppose the proposed
commutation and by the unanimous
vote of the board clemency was ex
tended.
