HOLT GIVEN
 FIFTEEN YEARS. THE JURY WAS OUT SEVERAL
 HOURS. CASE HAS BEEN APPEALED. It Is Said Two of the Jurors We're in Favor of the De ath
 Penalty.
CASE HAS BEEN APPEALED.

The Holt case went to the jury about 10 o'clock last night. and one of the most interesting trials that has ever been tried here was brought to a close so far as the court and the attorneys are con cerned. Both sides were repre- sented by able attorneys, and each did justice to himself and his cause. AttY.J N Walker opened Tor the state; his address was purely afgamentatite, and not the slightest detail escaped him. The theory of the state was that the murder was cold blooded committed by lying-ln- wait for detenSeless man. The defense advanced a two-fold theory of selt-detense and insan- fly aud coupled with this plea tor mercy oil account of the youth of the defendant Judge Tlllman made very earnest plea tor his client, eriticising what he designated as the unfairness of the prosecution and stressing the point that the defense had been clean and the most careful seru- tiny would fall to reveal the least sembldnee ol periured testi- mony. D. E. Hofsley, the states attorney closed the case. His ar gunent consisted largely of de- manding that the jury do their duty aid be not moved by all ap- peal for mercy. The defendant and the members of his family were apparently nnmoved until MT. HefsleY spoke, when the mother ot the defendant. who has sat by the side ot her son through out the trial broke down and her big blue sunbonnet shut out the light from her large rowing eyes as the bent figure dropped i'll the chair. She WAS | most pathetic figure and every heart i'll the court room went out to her III her suffering in this terrible ordeal. The defendant renamed immo- bile and impressive to the end. Only occasionally did lie show the slightest interest. 4 few times he would lean forward Ill his chair and glue his eyes to the speaker, and presently, as Il fully satisfied. he would relax into comfortable position and continue gently flaming himself with his hat. Mrs. Murray, who was al- So present throughout the trial, manifested little interest Ill the outeom of the case. At men, tion oi her husbands name her eyes would invariably fill with tears, and she would clutch her little son by the arm or hand. The case k over. and the jury IS now eonsideriugEhe late ot Holt.
 Fayetteville Ddily, Tuesday.
 The jury brought in a verdict Tuesday afternoon at l o'clock, fixing Holt'S penalty at hiteen years in the ptnitentlarY. We understand two ri the 1Efors at first stood out for the death pen salty. A motion for new trlal was overruled by Judge Naples and an appeal taken to the Supreme Court. Bond was hxed at $lo,0o0 which Il IS thought Holt will give.

Seventy-Three Applications Fill
ed on 10000 Acres.
People Stood in Line for Twen-
ty-FOur Hours.
WE'LL in THE FRONT
Was a Representative of the
Santa Fe Railroad.
He Had Forest Scrip Enough to
Take 2,7OO Acres.

Phoenix. Ariz., June 4.-The rush
at the Phoenix land office resulted in
the filing of seventy-three applications
on total of over 10000 acres of de-
sert land at different points adjacent
to Aqua Fria river, 25 miles west of
Phoenix.
The line had been formed for "a
hours preceding the opening at 9
o'clock. Well towards the head of
the line was a representative of the
land department for the Santa Fe
railroad with large quantity of rail-
road land scrip. The register and re-
ceiver promulgated a ruling that no
one applicant could make more than
two filings, or $40 acres at one time
The railroad representative retired
without filing. Later in the day. af-
ter the line cleared, the railroad re-
preventative made filing on 2,700
acres with forest scrip.

Mysterious Airship Seen lowering Over
SaltOn Sea.

Los. Angeles, Cal. June "A special
dispatch to the Times from Centro
says:
Ali Imperial valley is excited over
reports of a mysterious airship which
is taking nightly flights over Salton
sea.
At first the ship appeared to be sta
tionary at a point directly over Salton
sea near the intake of the Alamo and
New rivers Thence began a rapid
fight. swerving from southerly
course to one directly northwest and
apparently passing directly across
Salton sea at it's widest point when it
disappeared in the shadows of San
Jacinto mountains
At Brawley a party of twenty men
witnessed the flight across the sky.
Securing field glasses they closely
studied the machine. Its appearances
was that of a basket mastened between
two wide WINGS and when the turn was
made it is said the propellors were
plainly seen. The observers were un-
able to distinguish any person in the
basket

tlement of some 10000 shares of
United States steel common was eff
fected for a large short interest at a
price higher than the stock has yet
sold in the open market.
Trading in the first hour exceeded
500, 900 shares. While the market was
broad, the great bulk of the business
was in the Hartman and Hill stocks,
Atchison and United States steel.
The banks and other financial insti-
tutions are lending freely of their re-
serves, which have been strengthened
by a heavy influx of cash from the
west. Call money opened at per
cent today and was only in moderate
demand.
Announcement was made of anoth-
er increase in the price of copper.
Up to 1 O'Clock the sales reached
more than 100000 shares. Business
halted somewhat with the beginning
of the afternoon session and prices
shaded off generally except in Read
ing and Baltimore & Ohio. both of
which made substantial gains.

LAFOLLETTE AT BAY.
Wisconsin Senator Defends Himself
Against Attacks From All Quarters

Washington, June 4.-No one was re-
quired to call for a quorum when the
senate met today. The events of last
night IN respect to gersonal references
feeling that a storm was brewing and
nearly every senator was in his place.
Contrary to1the general expectation the
opening scene when Mr.. LaFollette took
the floor was quite pacific.
Mr.. LaFollette and Mr.. Gallinger had
a friendly exchange of words relating
to the refusal of the Wisconsin sena-
tor to yield to his New Hampshire col
league for a question yesterday. Mr..
LaFollette said he had not been sick
yesterday but after holding the floor
over five hours did not feel inclined to
continue all night and had remained at
home to rest. Turning toward Mr..
Aldrich Senator LaFollette remarked
that the senator stood ION this floor
as any other senator. He forgets. it
sometimes he added. Then referring
to the session of last evening as t'sen-
sationaP' to such an extent as to OBJ
scure the debate of the day which had
preceded he turned to Senator PenroSe,
of Pennsylvania, who sat in his place
on the opposite side of the chamber
facing him.
LAS to the remarks of the senator
from Pennsylvania" he said. 81 would
suggest that he would render a very
important service to the country and
to his state if he would account for
the way he spends his time when alb

effort to make an account for my

Mr.. Penrose gave close attention to
every word of the senator from Wis

and the intense stiffness seemed to
presage a scene.
Il might add continued the senator
| from Wisconsin. that no man could
undertake to account for the where
abouts of the senator from Pennsyl-
vania without transgressing the rules

article in magazine published by

promptly answered by Mr.. LaFollette,
who said the statements were taken
from a newspaper and when denied by
| that publication were promptly with
drawn by his own magazine.
| Mr.. Penrose asked to be referred to
the denial and was assured that he
would be furnished with the magazine
containing it. Mr.. LaFollette then pro-
ceeded with his analysis of the tariff
bill.

BOOM IN STOCKS.
Bulls Are Receiving Recruits From
the Bear Camp.

New York. June 4.-Speculative
activity was again strongly in evi-
dence at the opening of trading on
the stock exchange today. Opinion
in Wall street today was that the
present outburst of speculative enthu-
siasm is not due so much to buying of
the general public as it is to the op-
erations of important financial inter
ests and a group of heavy operators
some of whom were until recently on
the bear side of the market.
The continued ease of money is of
course, a large factor in the present
speculative movement as are also the
most uniform reports of improved in
dustrial conditions and a general be-
lief in the excellence of crop pros
poets.
Another important factor is the in
PRODUCTION of American securities on
the Paris Bourse.
Trading in the first half hour today
was probably well in excess of 200, 900
shares with the Hartman and Hill
issues, Atchison and the steel stocks
the most conspicuous features. Heavy
realization for profits in the steel
stocks was reported and this selling
was reflected in the pressure upon
these particular issues on the stock
exchange.
1t was rumored that a private set

Will Ask President Taft to Ap-
point White Man.
DELEGATION is READY
Want Negroes Removed When
Are Over Southern Whites.
Claimed That This Is in Line
With Policy of President.

Washington, D. c., June A move
ment is on to have the president
make a change in the Office of regis
trar of the treasury.
A delegation of southern Republicans
and Democrats will call upon the presi-
dent within few days and petition
him to name a white man for the po-
sition now held by william T. Vernon,
colored. appointed by President Roose-
velt Mr. Vernon has been almost a
daily caller at the White House in the
last two weeks.
Coincident with the report of the
movement was the conversation of the
president and Booker L. Washington
today at the White House. President
Taft made it known in the conversa-
tion with Washington that he intend
ed wiping out sectional lines all over
the country both in the so-called solid
south and the north
1t is not the intention of. the presi-
dent to conform merely to southern
states which might be brought into the
Republican column. His policy is ap-
pointing to office only such men as have
the thorough respect and confidence of
communities in which they live and in
which they hold office.
A prominent southern Republican
said last night that Mr.. Taft would
make greater headway in his efforts to
wipe out sectionalism by, dropping all
negroes appointed to Office in which
southern white men work. This Re-
publican added that the president would
gain a strong following in the south
III he would appoint white man to
the position of registrar of treasury.

legged to have been on friendly terms.
Miss Kolb admitted she had been a pa
tient under Cleminsen at the Chicago
union hos~ital and that he had paid
considerable attention to her.
Upon being taken to the physician's
cell. Miss Kolb screamed Historically.
She was left there for 10 minutes with
a detective nearby. What the conver-
sation between the was about. the po-
lice refused to make public, but it was
learned that their talk terminated with
a second series of screams by Miss
Kolb and she was led away.
Captain Kane stated that Miss Kolb.
while of value in the investigation of
the case, was not the woman most
wanted.
Later fragments of the conversation
between the prisoner and Miss Kolb
were learned by reporters.

but agitated voice. tell the police here

DR.. Cleminson, staggering slightly,
clutched the bars of his cell and replied
angrily:
THE closer you keep your mouth
shut, young woman, the better it will
be for both you and me-"
1t was at this reply that the visitor
screamed a second time and was led
away.
The coroner's inquiry into the death
of Mrs Cleminson was called today,
but was postponed until June Is, with
out the hearing of the witnesses. Dr..
Cleminson was taken to the court room
in a patrol wagon. He was pale and
the tense lines of his somewhat ef-
Terminate face showed the strain under
which he has been laboring since his
arrest His father. Isiah Cleminson
sat beside him during the few moments
of the proceedings and accompanied
him back to his cell.
The continuance of the inquiry was
necessitated by the work of the ex-
perts who are making a chemical
analysis of Mrs. Cleminson's stomach.

Philadelphia Mayor Submits
Terms to Transit Company.
PROMPT ACCEPTANCE
All Striking Employees Are to
Be Reinstated.
Recognition of Union Another
Feature of Settlement.

Philadelphia, Pa. June 4.-Prospects
for settlement of the strike Of the
employees of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company are brighter TODAY
than at any time since the strike be-
gan. Both sides have agreed to make
concessions and predictions are made
that there will be a complete resump-
t1on of service by tomorrow. This sit
uat1on has been brought about by the
Republican leaders of the city whose
plans for tomorrow's primary elections
nave been interfered with by the spirit
OF turbulence that spread over the city
In the last three days. After a con-
ference in city hall which lasted until
early today. Mayor Reyburn made pub
llc letter addressed to John B. Par
sons. president of the Transit company.
In which he offered terms for settle
ment OF the strike. He suggested
among other things the following:
All former employees shall he re-
stored to their former positions.
our employees to form representa-
tive body which shall from time to time
be accorded full opportunity to take up
with the proper officers of the company
any and all questions affecting the
rights of employees.
THE rate of wages beginning July 1,
1909, to be % cents an hour.
These conditions to continue for
one. two or three years as may be
agreed upon
ate reply in which he said:
After communicating with such
members of the board as I have been
able to reach will answer that the COM
pany accepts your suggestions and
stands ready to carry them out in their
full intent and spirit
The city early today was quiet. There
was no improvement in the street car
service over that of yesterday and
with a heavy rain falling the discom-
fort of the public was greater than
ever. ,
While there appears to be little doubt
that the agreement set forth in Mayor
ReyburE's letter will be accepted by
both sides, there is still some dissatis-
faction expressed by the strikers. The
rate of wages to be paid after July 1
namely, % cents an hour, is not re-
ceived with enthusiasm.
The company before the strike begar
announced that the wages would be

as concession, as they asked % cents

The most important points conceded
! the men are the right to purchase uni
forms from whom they please and the
matter of shorter hours.

street carn1en's local union. said he
saw no reason why the agreement
should not be adopted by both sides
