interested to learn that a crusade has
been begun by the Chinese government
against Chinese who supply human
hair for shipment to America. It seems
that a charitable institution of Can

paupers whose relatives are unable to
provide coffins, found the hair dealers
eXhuming corpses to recover hair, and
when this action was reported to the
authorities action was taken against
the dealers Instances also have been
reported of the hair exporters cutting
hair in crowds, and the officials are
prosecuting all apprehended.
The Japanese ministry is endeaVor-
ing to persuade the naval authorities
to postpone their proposed scheme for
building a number of battleships owing

COMMUTES SENTENCE Of
DEATH To 10 YEARS

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 4.-Acting
Gov. George L. Young today did what
is believed to be an unprecedented act,
when he commuted to a comparatively
short term of imprisonment a SEN
tence of death passed upon Thomas S
Waddill. who was to have been exc
cuted in Florence penitentiary June Pa.
Early this year Waddtll murdered
John Lindsey. an elderly prospector' IN
his cabin in the mountains of Graham
county, claiming self defense at first
and also duplicating others whom he
later exonerated.
The acting governor issues IN con-
nection with his proclamation Of com
mutation an extended review of the
case designed to forestall criticism and
explanations 1t cites the facts that
the murderer was born and raised IN
the mountains of Graham county, was
never out of the county, was compare
lively illiterate. and committed the
crime in the heat of passion.
He repented Immediately and seemed
solicitous on account of the trouble
brought on the family of the man he
killed. He suffered sufficiently, says
+be acting governor, with the enormity
of his crime and to make him respect
fnl of the rights of others. He is now
scarcely of age. The acting governor
believes that on account Of these
things society owes him another
chance after fifteen years. to which
his sentence is committed.

A LETTER IN EvIDENCE
"Pekin. May Il. 1909.

"Pekln, May u, lsU9.
Henry Lemm, Hot Springs, Ark:
John Dixon was just down and l gave
him a check for 5000 for the affair at
Springfield. He also got a like amount
from r. c. Diekman. I made the check
payable to yourself and indorsed it on
the back. He suggesed that l do 1t
that way In order to Yep us out of
trouble in case this ever got out. He
told me to have you get after the
Grafton Fish company and see if you
could not get 800 out of them. He is
afraid he is going to have some trou-
bic IN raising the required amount.
Perhaps you had better take this up.
with John. =!
"The way he explained this thing
to me Is that if this goes through 1t
will reduce the price of licenses from
75c to 1Oc and the seine tax from $40
to 81 for each 100 yards. with no limit
to length Of seine; also allows the use
of 112-inCh mesh. Now this would be
quite an item to these fellows in and
around Grafton, where I understand
they do quite extensive net fishing.
I believe it a good idea to have Harris
see if he can't get little money to-
gether and send it to Dixon. Let me
know If you have any suggestions.

Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. June 4.-Although it
came as a surprise to MANY, there
were numerous indications today that
the senate and house might reach a
prompt agreement on the railroad bill
through practical acceptance by the
house of the senate bill. While there
was no certainty that such would be
the case, there were many straws
pointing that way.
This would hasten the adjournment
of congress and members prophesied
that with the railroad bill agreed upon,
adjournment would come within three
weeks.
Senators Aldrich. Crane and Elkins
today conferred with Speaker Cannon
and Representative Mann Of Illinois,
who has charge of the house bill. Mr..
Mann said as far as he was concerned
personally, he would not agree to the
senate bill. He said there were many
things in the house bill upon which
he would insist. There were also some
things in the senate bill to which he
objected.
The question will be called up in the
house next Tuesday, when Mr.. Mann
will move nonconcurrence and ap-
nointment of conferees.

NAMES THE COLLECTORS

In his confession Lemm said that un-
til the death of capt. Schultz of Ha-
vana last year schultz was collector of
the fund paid the legislators, but he
had been succeeded by John Dixon, a
fish dealer of Peoria.
Lemm said that while the fish bill
was on first reading in the legislature
he went to Hot Springs for his health
This was May ,, 1909, and before he
left Lemm said he told Dixon to do
what he could to defeat the bill and
that he would stand his share of the
expense.
I,emm denied he was a partner of
Dixon, as has been reported, but said
that both hold stock in the Havana
Fish company.
Before leaving for Hot Springs
Lemm said he told Ralph o. Lord, his
bookkeeper, formerly of Springfield,
that he expected Dixon to call upon
him for a contribution, and if he did
so to pay Dixon any amount he asked.
Lemm said the amount Lord gave
Dixon was $500, this being borne out
by a letter Lord wrote to Lemm at Hot
Springs, telling him the contribution
had been made, and asking If Lemrn
had any suggestions to make regard
ing the fight against the bill.
Lemm said he did not know how
much r. c. Diekman, a Pekin fish
dealer, contributed In a letter written
bv Lemm's bookkeeper while Lemm

Jemm was informed Of the amount
that his friend Diekman gave. The

PEORIA, Ill, June "details of how
legislation affecting the fishing inter
ests of the state was fought in the
state legislature were given to state s
Attorney Burke of Sangamon county
last night by Henry Lemm, fish deal
er of Pel1in.
Other fish dealers were named. and
Burke also has learned, it is said, the
name of a Democratic legislator who
went south with the entire fund con-
tributed for use in the last session.
Lemm said there had not been a ses-
ton of the assembly in which the fish
dealers had not put up money to fight
legislation opposed to their interests.
He said the last session, however, cost
them the most. In the Forty-tifth gen
eraI assembly. he said, he was required
to give but 800, although it cost him
5000 for the Forty sixth session.

MR.. BADLEY AGAIN.

The Democrats of this county met
at Caldwell the other day and framed
a platform. The principal plank was
a charge that the county government
has been extravaganza 1t is to be
presumed that o. V. Bailey had a
large share in making the platform,
and in a small way the Leader Her
aid is disposed to agree with HIM that
there has been extravaganza. The
board has believed Mr. Bailey in his
strenuous assertions that he needed
four assistants. He has therefore had
sufficient help to enable him to spend
half his time riding around in his
automobile, working up real estate
deals and furthering his candidacy
for another office. Anybody familiar
with the work of his Office knows that
with a man at the helm who would
work ia thfully himself and require
faithful work from his assistants,
could easily handle the work of the
clerks office. The board of commits
sioners has made the mistake of be-
lieving o. V. Bailey and through
that mistake some extravaganza has
resulted, but beyond that it would be
difficult for Mr.. Bailey to point out
any unnecessary eXpend ture-Nam-

local government.
Mr.. Chairman, the West believes in
conservation, but it believes that the
great cause can be worked out with a
due regard to the provisions of the
Constitution. 1t believes in the self
governing capacity of the people rather
than in the governing capacity of bu-
reaus. We believe in laws instead of
rules and regulations made by no one.
and for whom no one is responsible
under our theory of government We
believe that the people in their respect
i've states are loyal, intelligent and
patriotic and will do their share in
this cause if those at Washington will
do theirs We expect the National
Government to use unhesitatingly and
fully all the powers which belong to
it and we expect the law-abiding and
patriotic men to assist the states in
holding and exercising all the powers
"H'Nh DcIOuS W LuSIu.
Chief Justice Marshall, the man who
did more than any other man to give
strength and power to the National
Government, said: NO political dream
er was ever wild enough to think of
breaking down the lines which sepa-
rate the states and of compromising
the American people into one common
mass" The old Federalist had little
conception of the dream capacity of
some of our modern statesmen
Lincoln, who gave his life in the
cause of National unity, said: ITO
maintain inviolate the rights of the
states, to order and control under the
Constitution their own affairs by their
own judgment exclusively, is essen
tial for the preservation of that bal
ance of power which our institu-
lions rest"
Justice Harlan, the venerable jurist
whose character is commensurate in
| dignity and worth with the august tri-
bunal which he has greatly honored,
said: "a National Government for Ma
tional affairs and state government for
state affairs is the foundation rock
upon which our institutions rest, and
any serious departure from that prin-
ciple would bring disaster upon the
American system of free government"
We take our position with those
statesmen, jurists and patriots, and an
nounce to the conservationists of the
country that we are ready to begir
work, ready for action, ready for legis.
