Wickersham Says Pardoned Banker
Will Turn States Evidence.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham is not very much dis
/ turbed by the statement issued by
Governor James H. Hawley of Idaho
'criticising the president and the de-
partment of justice on account Of the
action Of the president in granting a
pardon to Clarence w. Robnett, book
keeper in the Lewiston National bank,
Of Lewiston, Ida. Robnett was con-
victed of embezzling the funds Of the
bank and on trial in the federal court
was sentenced to ten years imprison-
ment, but he has not served any Of his
sentence. The governor denounced the
pardon as likely to bring "justice into
|disrepute and weaken the courts in the
destination of our people,"
The attorney general explained that
it was thought best to make terms with
one of the participants in the crime
and convict the others than to allow
all to escape for want Of evidence on
which to convict. This is the whole
story, it was explained, of the Robnett
lease

OWEN STARTLES WESTERNERS
Oklahoma Senator Says Wiley's Foes
Oppose Health Board.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 16.-United
States Senator Robert L. Owen OF
Oklahoma created a sensation at the
transmississippi commercial congress
when he declared he had every reason
to believe that the same people who
fought Mr.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief OF
the bureau of chemistry, were now
furnishing money to oppose the move
ment for a national department of
health.
"The United States loses annually
from preventable causes 100000 peo-
ple," said Senator Owen. So far as
securing aid from the government was
concerned he would rather be a fat
hog suffering from cholera than the
mother Of a large family in the first
stages of disease, for the government,
while prepared to help the hog, has
no bureau to aid the mother.

to Go to Work.
New York, Nov. 16.-If there was
any doubt that the strike of the street
cleaning department drivers was beat
en- it has been dispelled.
With practically all the carts in the
department in operation and men at
some of the stables pleading to get
back their old jobs under any condi-
tions and the failure of the meeting of
the executive council of the teamsters'
locals to call general sympathetic
strike, the late employees of the street
cleaning department seemed to realize
that their cause was hopelessly lost,
and some of them talked Of seeking for
other work.

Wife Murderer Must Pay Penalty Fri
day, Nov. "a.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 16.-Governor
Mann declines to interfere in the case
of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., and the
young wife murderer's last hope of
escaping the electric chair on Friday,
Nov. "a, was thus swept away. The
governor not only refused commuta-
ton Of sentence, but even the thirty
days respite prayed for.
Beattie's father told the prisoner In
the death cell of the penitentiary that
the governor had refused all aid.
Young Beattie received it in silence, the
guards say, but his iron nerve gave
way at last, and he was visibly AFFECT
ed at the loss of his last hope.

him several times during the match
For short time Gotch appeared some
what puzzled as TO the manner OF ap-
preaching his long armed opponent. Leon
could keep Gotch AT arms length and the
champion was halfway across the mat
from him. When Gotch did get by the
arms IL was easy. The rest OF the match
was largely play for Gotch This does
not mean that Leon did not work hard
and give Gotch all the fight there was in
him, But with Gotch's strength and
skill IL was certain thar within "A short
time the Russian would be thrown.
Against n man less skillful than Gotch
Leon would have made much better
showing. He was plainly nervous and
not able to think quickly, ] think Leon
is able 10 throw many OF the men close
10 the top in the heavyweight division.
He is still young and with the experience
he gains in such matches as this one he
Will be hard man 10 beat.
In my estimation Gotch is better today
than he ever was. Instead of going back
Gotch is going forward. From watching
his matches i am convinced that Gotch
today IL more powerful. more stiilful ana
better In every way than he ever was.
He Will throw Hackcnschmidt or anyone
else In the world against whom he is
matched. / aha sure that II he meets
Hackenschnidt he will throw him much
easier and much quicker than the public
now believes Is possible.
