nounced guilty of the murder of Dep
uty Oscar Harp during the siege of
Cameron dam on Oct. s, 1910, by
the jury, after that body had been
out sixteen hours. Mrs. Dietz and
Leslie, charged Jointly, were ac-
quilted.
The old smile with which the old
man had always faced the things
that have happened to him, did not
desert him. He smiled as the judge
read the verdict handed up by the
foreman of the jury. He made no
demonstration.
His name was the first read AS
the words came out, frown came
over the face of Mrs. Dietz, and she
glared at the jury.
Leslie took the staggering news
with sickly grin, and waves of color
swept across his face.
Judge Reid interrupted Dietz in
the midst of his argument and the
latter took his seat.
Mrs. Dietz had dropped on her
husbands shoulder and her right
arm slipped about his neck Tears
streamed down her cheeks.
When the verdict was announced,
John Dietz arose calmly and asked
for new trial on the ground that
much of the material evidence had
been ruled out and also on the
ground of errors of law Judge Reid
denied the motion.
Judge Reid called upon Dietz to
rise and said:
cit is the Judgment of the court
and your sentence is that you. John
Dietz, be punished by Imprisonment
for life at the state penitentiary at
Waupun and that one day each year,
namely, Oct. 8, you shall be kept in
solitary confinement.
John Dietz' teeth were closed like
vice and his jaws were set, but a
sinister grin slowly crept over his
iron mask, but quickly disappeared
when he reiterated:
eff the lumber trust needs a vic
tim l can stand it.
Dietz announces that he will make
an appeal of the case.
The jury spent almost the entire
night in argument with no apparent
intention of reporting for some time
Many times the heated arguments
all but penetrated through the walls
of the jury rooms in the back of the
Giblin hotel and gave evidence of
the conflict which was raging within
the dingy back room in favor of and
against the conviction of the Wis
consin backwoodsman and that of
his wife and son.
Twice the jury called for Judge
Reid for further instructions and
for exhibits which had not heen taken
to the jury room.

San Francisco, April 6.-Declaring
that the work of the new state rail-

unless public sentiment causes ship
pers and jobbers to reduce their
prices in proportion to freight rate
reductions, President John P. Esh-

pie to insist on fair dealing.
Eshleman pointed out that 1t

road Golfers by means of freight re-
ductions, only to put 1t in the hands
Of middlemeh. AS an example Esh-
leman pointed out that II the freight
rate on hay were lowered, and the
jobbers got the advantage Of the re-
duction without in turn lowering the
price to the consumer, the cost Of
hay still would remain inflated.

Tacoma, Wash, April 6.-The
claim that the Japanese government
tried to acquire by purchase posses
sion Of land in the vicinity of Mag
dalena bay, on the peninsula of Low
er California, for use as a coaling
station, is confirmed here today by
Ezra P. Savage former governor of
Nebraska, but now a resident of Ia
coma.
The land, which played a promi-
nent part in the recent Mexican
troubles, and was generally believed
to have been the couse of the mo-
bilization of the United States army,
is about to be sold by a syndicate, of
which Savage is member, for a
consideration said to be in the neigh
borhood of $15,OO0,000. The land,
which is known as the Flores-Hale
estate, embraces a strip % miles
wide and $50 miles long, bordering
on Magdalena bay, and Is reputed to
be one of the finest harbors In the
world. 1t is an ideal coaling station,
and for years has been used by the
United States navy as its target prac-
tice ground The efforts of the Jap
anese to get this coaling station is
believed to be what brought on the
present war game"
Ex-Governor Savage today admit
ted that while in Mexico last winter,
both he and his associates had been
approached a number Of times by
men who claimed they we're the rep
resentatives of the Japanese govern
ment, asking for an option on the
land. The overtures of the Japanese
representatives were not considered,
however, and the land is now being
examined by representatives of three
syndicates, who are figuring on its
purchase. One of these syndieates
has an option which will expire in a
few weeks. According to telegraphic
advices received by Savage. the sale
is likely to be cOnsummated any
day, and he is awaiting further news
which will call him south to wind up
the transaction.
ut is true, said Savage, "that our
syndicate is negotiating the sale Of
our holdings on Magdalena bay. but
we are not going to sell it to Japan
for a coaling station. told the
Japanese representatives when they
approached me that we cannot con-
slider their proposition, no matter
how much they are willing to pay, on
account Of the Monroe doctrine,
which prohibits the acquisition of
MORE land on the Western continent
by foreign nations"

The resolution was laid on the
table without discussion. 1t is ex-

Just before the senate convened,
Senator Stone of Missouri said that
in his opinion the senate was bound
to take cognizance of the testimony

Senator Crawford, of South Dakota,

record in the case before he decided
his stand in, the matter. Crawford,
at the session of congress recently

speech.
Ten of the 46 senator's who voted
to support Lorlmer are no longer

Lorimer interests claim majority in
