Washington, D. C.-The Americans
in Panama have had cause for heated
protests recently, not on account of

an incident which called in action a
portion of the Panama army.
A foreign commercial house in Co.

it to wash the windows of the estab-
lishment. Wayne O. Adams, of the
canal zone, as the story goes, wit
messed the dissertation of the stars

fought battle for the possession of one
of the flags which were being used to
clean windows.
He was pursued, according to re-
ports, by a section of the army of
Panama, consisting of two policemen
and member of the militia in full re-
gala.
As result OF the disrespect shown
the flag by the commercial house in
question the canal zone from one end
to the other is hung with boycott
signs and the offenders have found

not TO HANG
His Sentence is COMMITTED 20
Life imprisonment.
CONFESSED MANY MURDERS
Orchard Was Witness Used in the Eff
fort to Convict Members Of Miners'
Federation for Murder.

Boise, daho.-The state board Of
pardons committed the sentence OF
Harry Orchard, who was under SEN
tence to hang July 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, Idaho,
December 80, 1906, and few weeks
later, while confined In the Idaho pen
itentiary, confessed his guilt to James
McPartlan, well-known detective, at
the same time asserting that he was
employed to commit the crime by
officers OF the Western Federation OF
Miners.
AS a result of his concession,
Charles H. Meyer, president; William
D. Haywood. secretary-treasurer; OF
the Western Federation of Miners,
and Charles D. Pettibone were arrest
ed In Denver and brought to Idaho to
answer to the charge Of murder.
John Simpkins, another member Of
the federation, was also indicted and
Is still a fugitive. Haywood and Pet
tibone were acquitted after memoir
able trials in which Orchard told a
story of wholesale assassination
which shocked the world. Following
the trial of Pettibone, the case
against Meyer was dismissed, Orchard
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 Pettibone,
and that he was therefore, for the
service he had rendered the state, en-
titled to clemency. The pardon board,
consisting of Governor Gooding, Secre-
tary of State Lansdon and Attorney
General Guhen, In taking this action
acted on the recommendation OF
Judge Wood, made at the time of SEN
fencing Orchard
Orchard to the last was opposed to
having the sentence interferred With.
He said to the attorney that he hoped
efforts to save him from the gallows
would fail.
