REP Rived
Governor Of Idaho Gives
Orchard Eight More
Weeks Of Life

Boise, Ida, May 15.-This is the
day set for the hanging of Harry Or
chard, confessed bomb thrower, as
sassin and desperate. It is not Or
chard's fault that the penalty of the
law was not fulfilled this morning in
the Boise court yard. He has freely
and frankly admitted his part in the
death of former Governor Steunen-
berg, and in various other fatal es-
capades. He has repeated and reit-
Grated the story of his shame on the
witness stand in an effort to convict
those whom he newer asked for in
diligence or favor because of his
states evidence The Judge before
whom he appeared for sentence had
no alternative other than to send
him to the gallows. This is the day
set for the execution.
But Harry Orchard did not swing
this morning. To his unexpected de-
Tense. came Governor Frank r. Good
ing in response to petitions from Or
chard's friends, who have believed
that his part in assisting Senator
Borah and the other prosecutors of
alleged conspirators is entitled to re-
ward. The reward has come at last
in the form of eight more weeks of
life. Governor Gooding grants a re-
prieve until July 2. Between now
and then will be determined the ques-
ton of whether the death sentence
win be. committed to life imprison-
ment.
On this, May morning, however,
Harry Orchard can thank only Gov
ernor Gooding that he has not gone
to answer for his sins.

STATES MUST COOPERATE WITH GOYM'I

The dangers that confront the
great Republic from abroad are as
nothing compared to the perils that
Turk in the shadows at home. What
will it profit this nation to have won
the wreath of industrial- supremacy,
if, in our thirst for gold and sudden
riches, we permit corporate greed,
as well as Individual averice and
selfishness to waste and devestate
the very sources Of our prosperity?
For just as sure as the sun shines,
and the sum of two and two are four,
unless this insane riot of destruction
and waste of our fuel resources
which has characterized the past cen
fury, shall be speedily ended, our
industrial power and supremacy will
after a metor-like existence, revert
before the close OF the present CEN
fury to those nations that conserve
and prize at their proper value their
priceless treasures of carbon.
Whatever is possible in the shape
Of legislation for the protection of
our fuel resources must, from the
nature of our federal constitution, be
left entirely to the individual states
which you represent. Twenty-nine
Of the forty-six states of the union
produce coal and twenty-four OF
these produce more than a millio1
tons annually, while practically the
same number produce vast quantities

DESPERATE THUG
| TAKEN ON TRAIN
|An Around Bad Man and Jail
Breaker Nabbed While
Escaping
Jailed at Glasgow for Hold.
| Up and Nearly Kill
| ing Man

Grand Forks, N. D., May 15.-Sher-
if l.. L. Lampman of Williston left
last night for his home, accompanied
by John Benner, accused of beating
an old man named Larson in an at
tempt to hold him up for his money.
Benner escaped to Glasgow, Mont,
where he was arrested and Jailed.
He broke jail and remained at large
until his capture on the Northern
Pacific train at Grafton.
It was decided to have the Willis
ton sheriff come here for Benner and
it may be possible that he will be
kept there for trial. He may be taken
to Montana to stand trial on a charge
of Jail breaking, however. Sheriff
Miller arrived last evening from
Glasgow and accompanied Benner
west. 1t is possible that he will balk
at Williston and refuse to go back
to Montana
Larson was so badly hurt that it
was feared tab he would not recover
but now it is believed that he is out
of danger. Larson was given ter
rible beating and it is considered re-
markable at Williston that he sur
vived. His jaw was broken, his teeth
knocked out and it was impossible
for him to take nourishment fol
many days. Benner was powerful
man, being wrestler and athlete
and he numerically beat the I'M
fortunate Larson, it is claimed.
Benner seems to be up against il
this time, although his relatives will
make an effort to fix matters up.

It Was fine
cupid AT vAssAR" WAS ONE OF
THE BRIGHTEST PLAYS
EVER SEEN HERE.

Bismarck theatergoers were given
one Of Manager Vesperman's especial
treats last night in the presentation
of Florence Gear in the musical play,
Cupid at Vassar" The play is clever
and entertaining from the first act to
the fall of the curtain, and Miss Gear
as Kate Norton was the recipient of
frequent and continued applause. Her
manner is yivacious and winning and
she has sweet and sympathetic
voice, and sang with especial success
The Poppy and the Pink" and the
Grandmother song. The chorus was
well gowned and pretty and the sup
porting company capable. There is
enough of a plot to make the play en-
tertaining aside from the musical fea.
lures. and enough love to touch it
gracefully with sentiment. Altogether
it was such a production as is not too
frequently seenr-and few better and
more pleasing musical attractions are
on the road.

While the Stalwarts have not held
any convention for nominations as
has been done by the Insurgents in
open disregard, if not in violation of
the primary law, some of the candi-

to have been already practically nom

thus make up the Stalwart ticket.
