EUer GetaLetter Like This?

This letter was written by a boy
of seven, little Michael Napoli-
t.. 10, to the mother he didn't know
was in Jail. When Miss Honor
Tanning, the Times special cores
pondent, called to see him at the
Children's Aid society's home in
Sault ste. Marie, Ont, the other
day, he asked about "mamma"
the very first thing. Then he sat
down to write letter to her. That
childish work of much labor and
love was duly delivered to the
woman in the old stone jail-the
woman who is soon to bring an
other child into the world, the
mother doomed to die August g

terror of death. or worse, drove to
slay a brutal husband.
Little Michael doesn't know all
this, of course, but he'll know
some day. And right soon he
will miss the mother-presence and
the mother love unless a flood of
petitions avails to secure this
woman's pardon or reprieve.
His letter follows:

10000 PEOPLE
ON PETITIONS
FOR RPARDON

With 400 names of people liv-
ing in Orting sent into the Times
todar by George Welsh of that
city the petitions for the pardon
of Angelina Napolitano, sentenced
to be hanged at Sault Ste. Marie,
Canada, have reached 10000.
With previous petitions sent in
from Orting, it would seem that
nearly every resident there has
sifCed the petition for the wom-
an \ freedom. The response that
the Times appeal received from
the people as far as this news
paper was read showed a most re-
markable uprising of public senti-
ment which may yet save the un-
fortunate woman who shot neI
husband to save her honor.

CONDUCTOR
D|ESUNOER
TRUCKS
TRACTION RAILROAD MAN
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH AS
CAR RUNS THROUGH OPEN
SWITCH.

J. T. Sadler, Traction conductor,
was horribly mangled and Instant
ly killed early this morning when
his car went through an open
switch at East Twenty-fourth and
M streets.
The front trucks of tho car
went off on the interurban switch
while the hind trucks swung
around like the cracker OF a whip,
throwing Sadler OF and dragging
him underneath for IL feet.
II. T. Kettler, 4312 Union
street, motorman of the car, was
not held. At his home his fam
lily said he had gone downtown
with other car men. The police
say he Is not under arrest.
The car men say there was an
other man in the front section
talking to the motorman when the
accident happened. This is vio-
lation of the company rules.
Kettler and Sadler were taking
the car to the Bay street barns
after the nights work.
AS Tie oWAICu 10 hopt oct iOI LILO
interurban, Kettler's job was to
stop the car 80 that the conductor
could throw the switch. Sadler
was on the front platform ready
to jump off and do this.
Gar Didn't Stop.
But the car didn't stop. Ket-
tier, busy talking to the other
man with him, the train men at
the barns say, must have forgot
ten about the switch.
So great was the impetus Of the
car that it swung clear around.
The conductor was dead when
picked up.
Sadler was 25 and had a wife
and two small children, Thelma,
three and a half, and a baby boy
of II months, at his homo, 3625
South ] street. He had gone
through Whitman college and Ta-
coma High school.
Ksttler, the motorman, had
been on the extra list for two or
three years and was taking anoth-
er mans run when the accident
happened.

ST. LOUIS, June 24.-Dead
though he is, Edward H. Harri-
man, once railroad king of the
United States, scored a great vic
tory here today in the United
States circuit court of appeals
when that tribunal dismissed the
suit of the government under
taken in an effort to disrupt the
great combination of lines whose
union was the lifework of the
railway wizard"
Justice Hook alone dissented
Justice Van de Venter of the
United States supreme court
who participated in the case, con-
ours.
The court decided that Harri-
mans pooling of the stocks of the
Union and Southern Pacific and
five subsidiary roads does not
constitute a merger for the con-
troll of western railroads.
The defeat of the government s
position in the chief allegation OF
the suit-that Hartman conspired
to monopolize Pacific coast traf-
fic-is taken as a distinct railroad
victory.
Worked Separately.
Some agents of these roads, the
court says, which before 1901
were separate, have continued tc
seek business for either road, ac.
cording to its availability, always
opposing other competitors, like
the Santa Fe and the Rio Grande
"A substantial majority of the
stock of the Southern Pacific is
held by parties other than the
Union Pacific company, and we
find no complaint by such hold.
ers of discrimination against theil
road. On the contrary, hundreds
of millions have been expended
since 1901.
"The whole proof, taken togeth-
er, we think, fails to disclose any
conspiracy to restrain commerce. >
The decision that whether the
purchase of the Northern Pacific
and the stock of the Southern Pa
cific was not violation of the
antitrust law unless reversed by
the United States supreme court,
will be of vast advantage to many
railroad combinations, the great
est of which was put together by
the late Edward H. Hartman.
More Court Arguments.
, The courts opinion went on to
say: "The fact that the Union
Pacific did not secure control of
the Santa Fe, powerful rival, or
of the Denver & Rio Grande, an
actual rival, affords conclusive
evidence that there was no such
combination or conspiracy.
The purchase by the Union Pa
cific of majority of stock of the
Northern Pacific tends to an op-
posite conclusion, but in view of
the facts We are not disposed to
give that"

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
BY vote of to 3, the senate
committee on territories today
ordered a favorable report on a
joint resolution approving the
constitutions Of Arizona and New
Mexico. The resolution is in prac-
tically the same form as that
which passed the house.
The measure provided for the
admission of both territories after
New Mexico votes on constitution
al changes to make it more easily
amended, and Arizona on the
question of eliminating recall of
judges.
Irrespective of the results of
these elections, the territories win
be admitted to the Union.
At the meeting of the commit
tee today the motion to strike out
Arizona from the resolution was
defeated, 6 to 8. Senator Nelson
of Minnesota made the motion and
was supported by Senators Burn
ham and Lippitt.

Truth of Police Judges Statement
Is Borne Out By This Real Case
GIRL ARRESTED OF THEFT
OF FINE CLOTHING BELONG
ING TO HER EMPLOYER.

In yesterdays Times an inter.
view was printed in which Police
Judge Arntson said among other
things:
1.-THE little girl in the ging-
ham frock and hair tied with
ribbons is not the one that
gives the police and court Of
ficers any trouble. 1t is the
other kind-the girl who
dresses her hair with a mass
of false puffs and curls, and
keeps up with the height of
foolish fashion, who is led
astray."
The truth of his statement
seems to be borne cut by the fol-
lowing case which is a reality:

jewelry was the cause of the
downfall of Ida Anderson, aged
