The DOlan Verdict

The verdict of murder in the first de.
gree, carrying with it the death penal
~, rendered by the jury in the Dolan
case, meets with the approval Of the pub
lie. While some think that life impris-
onment would answer the ends of ius-
tice, lone c~ritciSc the verdict of the jul
~.
The murder of which John DOlan was
convicted WAS cowardly and brutal.
He killed Frank Whitaker, an old nan
and an inmate Of the county hospital,
in cold blood and all admit that it is but
right that he pay the penalty with his
life. He boosted of his crime and now
he should suffer the extreme consequent
ces of his act is the sentiment Of Ill.
Dolan's trial was rs fair rs it could
be. He was given every opportunity to
prove his innocence and his attorney,
+. j. l.. Tabor, worked hard and cou-
scicntiously to save his neck from the
~hangnan's moose, but he had no defense,
except that of insanity, and that was
scattered to the winds by the prosecn.
ton. District Attorney Cainc and his
assistant, Attorney Henderson, did their
duty faithfully and well. They left
nothing nndonc TO place the case fairly
before the jury.
If Dolan suffers the extreme penalty
of the law. he can blame no one hut
himself. 1t will only be tho legitimate
consequence Of the life hc has led, lie
had no regard for society and society
will not mourn when his life is ended
by due process of law.

, structed the line from Los Angeles to
Salt Lake City and thereby gave to the
city of Mr.. Clark's adoption third line
of transcontinental railway.
The Inauguration of this great enter
prise marked the beginning and was
undoubtedly he principal cause of the
unparalleled prosperity which Los An
geles has known since the beginning of
this decade.
Since the completion of the San Pc
dro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad,
Mr.. Clark with his brother has organ
ized the Las Vegas & Tonopah Railway
company and has constructed the line
Vegas to Goldfeld. This line has be-
come of great Importance to the city of
! Los Angeles, inasmuch as it makes this
citv the nearest trading point and the
metropolis for the great gold producing
territory of Nevada, which has had
such a wonderful development during
the past few years and is now turning
out millions of dollars of wealth an
nually.
Mr.. Clarks business interests extend
over a wide field, including banking,
mining, the beet sugar industry and
railroads, and when we consider the i'm
portance to the city of the Salt Lake
and the Las Vegas e. Tonopah railways,
1t is safe to saw that no citizen of Los
Angeles has during the past ten years
inaugurated and developed enterprises
which are of so much value to the city
as are those with which Mr.. Clark has
been connected and of which he is one
of the creators.

America for the sterling citizenship

In the world, he removed to the west
and for some years resided in Montana.
His introduction to Los Angeles was
similar to that of so many others who
have helped to make the community
what it is, for in 1892 he visited this
country in search of health. In 1895 he,
with his brother, Senator w. A. Clark,
purchased extensive holdings, amount
ing to many thousands of acres, in Los
Angeles county, and erected a large
beet sugar factory at Alamitos, which
has since become known as the Alami-
tos Sugar company This company has
been and is today one of the most
prosperous and important business en-
terprises of Southern California.
In 1900 Mr.. Clark brought to the at

known Arctic
Ry Associated Press.

Fly Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, May 30.-At today's ses-
sion of the International Polar con-
gress Herbert L. Bridgeman, president
Of the department of geography in the
Brooklyn institute, submitted the
scheme for reaching the north pole.
The plan involves the use of Peary's s
old ship, the Roosevelt, which will
leave in the fall, winter on the north
shore of Grantland and thence make a
dash for the pole In 1909.
The coast Of Grant1and will be fol-
lowed westward to Cape Columbia over
route which will shorten the distance
100 miles and counteract the effects of
the eastern currents.
One of the features of the new scheme
is the more rigid massing of the sledge
division in order to keep the men to-
gether.
Upon the return voyage Peary pro-
poses to explore Crocker Land, a sec
ton. of the unknown Arctic. the ex-
ploration which he thinks may revolu-
tionize the existing ideas regarding the
heretofore untraversed polar regions.
Mr.. Bridgeman moved to place Lieut..
Lieut.. Peary's scheme on record with
a vote of congratulation to the lieu
tenant. The forenoon session of the
congress disclosed the fact that an
American is preparing to undertake an
expedition to the south pole in 1911,
upon plans worked out by Lieut.. Peary.
The latter, however, Is not to take part
in the expedition. President Roosevelt,
to whom Lieut.. Peary disclosed this
idea, is said to have indorsed 1t en-
Enthusiastically. The identity of the
American who is to make the voyage
has not yet been revealed.

TAFT NOT POPULAR
WITH COLORED VOTE
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR MEETS
THEIR RESENTMENT
Mass Meeting to Protest Against
Nomination of War Secretary
to Be Held Tomorrow
Night

In order that the Republicans may
understand the sentiment of the colored
voters toward Taft, meetings are being
held all over the country to make plain
the resentment toward him as a presi-
Dental candidate. From coast to coast
the colored voters are organizing
against Taft because of his attitude in
the dismissal of three colored compa-
nies of infantry at Brownsville, Texas,
without trial.
To emphasize local sentiment meet
ing has been called for Scotts hall, 56l
Central avenue, Monday night, to pro-
test against Taft's nomination. The
protest will be based on the fact that
while the president dismissed the
troops, his action was due to the rec
ommendation of Taft as secretary of
war. The call for the meeting is
signed by the following: Rev. H. C.
Cooper, H. Stricklin, James w. Jones,

WASHINGTON, May 3G.-President
Roosevelt and thousands of Washing
tonians today participated in the OBJ
servance of Memorial day. All gov
ernment departments and the principal
business houses were closed. Services
were held at Arlington and all the 9TH
er cemeteries in the vicinity of the city.
A boat laden with flowers was set
adrift on the Potomac river in tribute
to the dead of the navy, and there was
parade of military organizations and
patriotic bodies. Shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning President Roosevelt drove
to Arlington in an open surrey, accom-
panied by Charles A. Loeffier, his door
keeper, and took with him a number of
floral wreaths. One of these was placed
on the monument of General Sheridan,
another on the tomb of the unknown
soldiers of the Civil War and third
on the monument of the Spanish vet

KANSAS CITY, May 30.-Belated res
olutions and unfinished business occu-
pied this the last day of the enc hum
dred and twentieth general assembly
of the Presbyterian = church in the
United States of America. True to the
spirit of the day the session opened
with the singing Of America" and the
proceedings were interspersed with
patriotic songs.
Moderator Fullerton was made chair
man of the executive commission and
Stated Clerk Roberts was elected Sec
retary. The other members elected in
clude ex-Secretary of State John w.
Foster and DR.. ]. Willis Baer of Los
Angeles.
A western commissioner made an ef-
fort to have the assembly place DIR.
Mark A. Matthews of Seattle on the
executive commission, asserting that
the northwest should have representa-
ton on the most important administra-
tive body of the church. DR.. Fullerton,
replying to the argument, said the Pa
cific coast had one representative in
the person of DR.. Baer and 1t was not
deemed wise to give the far west an
other representative because Of the
added expenses occasioned.
The assembly supported the mod
orators position. The moderator de-
cided that the assembly could not con-
slider the case of the union of three
churches, which was under considera-
ton at adjournment yesterday until
1t converted itself into church court
and reviewed the testimony and then
arrived at a verdict.
The assembly voted against review
of the case, which action left the de-
cision of the judiciary committee, that
the union of the churches was legal
and should be sustained. as the final
Judgment of the assembly.
The assembly decided that synods
should not ally themselves with anti
saloon leagues or other non-eccelsi-
astical organizations, Notwithstanding
their sympathy with the movements
of such organizations represented.
The assembly exchanged fraternal
greetings with the United Presbyterian
church.
After hearing several routine reports,
the moderator formally dissolved the
general assembly to meet again at
Denver May 10. 1909.

Mr.. Tawney spoke first He said:
while the patriotic people of our
country are decorating the graves OF
the soldiers who sacrificed their lives
for the Union, Senator LaFollette and a
few Democrats are indulging in fill
buster in the senate which, If persisted
in beyond today, will cause an indefi-
mite postponement in the June payment
of the pensions due the widows or those
mourned and of the pensions of the
veterans who survived that awful
struggle.
1.-The folly of these filibusters will also
suspend after today the execution OF
urgent work at the government print<
ing office, and will throw out of en-
ployment in that institution working
men and women who toll therein for
daily wages

more serious consequences to the gov
ernment than the one prosecuted IN
the house during the past two months
and the one now in progress In the SEN
ate. The deficiency bill carries many
sums necessary for the public service.
Chief among them are $10,0O0,0O0 for the
June payment of pensions and $7O0,OOO
for payment of wages in the govern
ment printing office.
"Uniess the filibustering in the sem
ate ceases today in time for the consid-

ment and signature by the president
the government will be compelled to de-

claimed the right of discussion was de-
MED, or constitutional government was

session of congress a new policy has
been adopted and new chapter in our

minority of the house consumed the
time that should have been devoted TO
consideration of material questions OF
government in senseless roll calls. Sen
ator LaFollette and few Democratic
associates in the senate are now en-
gagged in annihilating time by reading
state documents in order to demon

the majority from legislating."
