The object OF the publication of

are badly needed along said lots,
4 and believe that they should be con-
;structed. We also are heartily in
accord with the authorities In this
and all othed public improvements
proposed BY said authorities.

TEN-YEAR SENTENCE.
Judge Says Man Who Took Cotton
Funds Deserves No Mercy.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Wal
ter ]. Bartnett, formerly vice-presi-
dent and general counsel for the
Western Pacific Railroad, and vice
president and general counsel for the
California Safe Deposit & Trust Co.,
which failed in this city last Novem-
Der for about 100000, was today
sentenced to San uentin Penitentiary
for 10 years, by Superior Judge Con-
ley Bartnett was convicted Of hav-
ing hypoteheated bonds and securi-
ties to the amount Of $20s,000 belong
ing to the estate Of Ellen NJ. Cotton,
OF which he was special administra-
tor,
Bartnett, who has been at liberty
for several weeks on 100000 bail,
was remanded into the custody Of the
sheriff, and his counsel Immediately
gave notice of appeal to the Appellate
Court, and asked that Bartnett be
given his liberty on bail pending the
determination Of the appeal. This
was strongly opposed BY Assistant
District Attorney William Hoff Cook
but Judge Conley said he would re-
ceive an application for Bartnett's re-
lease this morning and would fix the
bail at 100000
In passing sentence, Judge Conley
declaring that he could not agree
with the jury that Bartnett was en-
titled to the mercy Of the court in
having violated the faith and trust
imposed on him as administrator Of
The Cotton estate, and he therefore
gave him the maximum penalty pro-
Eided by law for the crime Of embez-
clement,

LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
Orchard Escapes Gallows Which he
Preferred to Imprisonment.

BOISE, July HAIRY Orchards
desire to hang was frustrated by the
Idaho Board Of Pardons shortly be-
fore noon. It decided that Steunen-
berg's assassin should spend the rest
OF his days in the penitentiary, in
stead Of going to the scaffold.
The board is said to have been in
fluenced by three motives, The full
ness Of Orchards confession and the
consequences Of his alleged expose;
the recommendation OF Judge Wood,
who in passing sentence of execution
said Orchard certainly should not pay
the extreme penalty in view Of the
disclosures he had made; and the
possibility Of his being useful at fu-
ture trials in connection with former
Colorado outrages.
Orchard to the last was opposed to
having the sentence Of the court in
terfered with. Only yesterday he ex-
pressed to his attorney the hope that
efforts to save him from the gallows
would fail

taken by the railroad companies tend
ing to increase rates, then that ques-
tion will have 10 be taken 40 and set
tied one way or another.
Mr. Rogers was advised by certain
influential gentlemen here 10 try the
plan OF coming in without pilot. He
replied that he favored the idea and
would strongly recommend Il to the
company.
With the extraordinary widening
and deepening OF the Columbia river
az lis mouth. as shown by the recent
investigations and report OF the engi-
neering corps, II would appear that
the imperative need which has here
toiorc existed for the use OF pilots
over the bar may no longer exist.
That genuine faith is given to the
findings Of the engineers under Col.
Roessler Is evidenced by the fact
that the Hawaiian-Amcrican Com
pany appears TO be fully prepared TO
act upon Il.
Mr. Rogers spent the day in look
ing over Astoria. He expressed him
self as well pleased with the outlook
for business here and seemed to be OF
the opinion that the Hawaiian-Ameri-
can ships would get all the business
that they can we'll handle out Of the
Columbia river basin. He looked
over the docking facilities yesterday.

LINCOLN, July l.-Charles A.
Towne, the avowed candidate fol-
nomination on the Democratic ticket
for vice-president, spent half an hour
with Bryan today discussing his can
didacy and platform The interview
said New York is the logical state to
furnish the vice-presidential nominee,
The public does not seem to realize
the number Of Democrats there are
in Northern New York, | am not
surprised of the declinations of Judge
Gray to be mentioned for vice
president"
Towne said that Gray is a strong
man and popular but that he, Towne,
had been given unmistakable assur-
ance OF the support of the leading
New York Democrats before permit
ting the use of his name.
When asked as to the anti-injunc-
tion platform in Denver Towne said:
1T should be a strong one, one that
does not hedge. The laboring men
will be protected" But he declined
to go further into details,
Previous to Towne's visit, Bryan
had set at rest, temporar-
lily, at least, the reports that he fa-
vored Towne,"
Mr.. Towne is quoted as to stating
that you some time ago assured Mr.,
Towne that he would be acceptable to
you; is that true?" Mr.. Bryan was
asked,
He meant that | was favorable to
-hem," said Bryan, with stress on the
asst word and with wave of his
land, indicating the galaxy OF the

when he outclassed DR.. B. F. Roller,
Of Seattle, winning two consecutive
falls in IS minutes and rs seconds,
and Is minutes and 54 seconds, re-

Roller at his mercy.
Both men entered the ring weigh
ing close to 200 pounds each, Roller
may have been pound or two heav-
ier. They went at ii like bulls from
the vary start and Gotch soon forcing
matters, He worked his notorious
toe hold six times in succession in the
first bout, Roller broke away each
time but it wore on him and finally
Gotch downed him with crotch and
half Nelson hold,
Roller did better work in the sec
ond bout but Gotch was like a terrier
after a rat and went from hold to
hold with startling rapidity. Rollers
best work in this round was to break
a half-Nelson and crotch after seem
ingly lost. He was finally picked up
and dumped to his shoulders from the
same hold 1t is doubtful if he was
really downed but it was only
question Of few minutes, anyway, as
he was at Gotch's mercy.
