The Book That Held The

while the wires were bringing him the news of
his election to the highest political office in the
world, is a book that tells in plain language
the story of Uncle Sam at work. 1t is the only
book that tells, accurately and without partisan
bias, just what the working machinery Of this
great government ~accomplishes for its people.
1t has been endorsed by scores of public officials,
has been placed in hundreds of Libraries, studied
in thousands of schools and read by hundreds
of thousands of Americans. 1t held Woodrow

MRS. CHAFFEE WILL
not PROSECUTE
MRS. cHAFFEE SAYS STORY IN
TWIN CITY PAPERS REGARD
ING HER INTENTION TO PROS
EcuTE WHITE STAR LINE is
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.

Il think the story in n of the twin
city papers containing a purported in
terview with Mrs. Chaffee in which it
was stated she intends to spend all
her money prosecuting the White Star
line, is entirely the product of some
newspaper mans imagination" said
Walter Reed Of Armenia to a Forum
representative at the Gardner hotel to-
day,
Mrs. ChafEee has no such Inten-
tons and I do not believe ever made
any such statement to any of the twin
city newspaper men," continued Mr..
Reed. II recollect she was interview
ed by a representative Of The st. Paul
Dispatch, but that was all l think. /
quite regretted that such a statement
should have gone out. The expression
OF such a thought is rather absurd as
the United States senate is fully prob
ing the matter as much as can be done
and a great deal better than any pri-
vate party acting separately.
The description of the disaster as
given by Mrs. Chaffee is one that
would give anyone a continual night
mare throughout a whole lifetime.
She saw the vessel sink and was in
the lifeboat from about 1880 until
about 1880 o'clock the next morning
when they were picked up. The life
boats were not equipped at all and IL
the sea had not been calm many more

SENTENCED BUT
WILL NOT SERVE HIS TIME
Judge Pollock Used New Law--Alows the Prisoner to Be OFT
On ProbatiOn--s the Same as a ParoIed Prisoner
Justice Tempered With Mercy

Clyde sperry was denied q new
trial this morning, sentenced to serve
five in the state pen and In eff
feet paroled from the state pen by the
judge who sentenced him. Judge Pol
lock took advantage Of a new law.
His decision Is In full as follows:
Now, On this day Of April 20, the
states attorney in and for the county
of Nelson, state OF North Dakota, and
the defendant, Clyde Sperry, come in
to court, and this being the day fixed
by the court for the pronouncing Of
judgment upon the conviction of the
defendant above named. for the crime
of manslaughter as charged In the in
formation heretofore filed against
said defendant in this court; who, be-
ing informed by the court of the ma
ture of the information and Of his
plea of not guilty" and the verdict,
and being asked whether he has any
legal aus to show why judgment
should not be pronounced against
him, and no cause being shown, the
court does adjudge, and the sem
tence is that you, Clyde Sperry, be
imprisoned In the penitentiary at
Bismarck. in said state, for the term
of five years, commencing at IL
o'clock noon, Of this day.
And 1t appearing hat the defendant
was tried and convicted of the crime
of manslaughter, in that he did, with
ou n intent to commit murder, but
while engaged in an unlawful as
sault upon Kenneth Mckenzie, cause
his death; and that defendant has
never before been imprisoned for
crime, either in this state or else
where;
And it further appearing to the
satisfaction OF the court that the
character of the defendant and cir
cumstances Of the case are such that
he is not likely again to engage in
an offensive course Of conduct; and
that the public good does not demand
or require that the defendant shall
suffer the penalty imposed by law;
Now by the authority of law, to-
wit: the provision Of chapter 174,
pages 255-6-7 of the laws of North
Dakota for the year 1909: / do now, in
furtherance of justice, suspend the ex-
ecution of the sentence this day inn
posed on said defendant, and place him
on probation. to be under the control
and management Of the board of trus-
tees Of the state p~enitentiary, and he
shall be subject to the samer ules and
regulations al apply to persons paroF-
ed from the penitentiary after a peri
cd of imprisonment therin.
Upon the clerk certifying the rec
ord of this suspension to the warden
of the p~enitentiary, it is further or
dered that upon the entry in the rec
ords. of said warden of this order for
such probation, the defendant shall
be released from custody so soon as
the requirements and conditions Of the
board of trustees Of the penitentiary
have been properly and fully met; and
until such time he is hereby commit
ted to the custody of the sheriff OF
Cass county, North Dakota.
In making this order, ] have taken
into consideration the youth of the de-
PENDANT, the true object of punishment,
and the imposslbility Of the attain

being one who win attend the meeting
OF the medical fraternity OF Cass coun-
ty this evening.

terday morning.
People speak of Island park as be-
ing the cleanest part of the city. The
reason is that they have the garbage
wagon AXE their garbage and ashes
the whole year round. There are a
few careless people scattered over
this city who ought to take a lesson
from Island park and fall in line. 1t
would be a great pleasure to all.

present form the committee win be in
a position to throw light on the source
Of campaign contributions made for
many years past.
Here is one important provision Of
the Pujo resolution: mo person
shall be excused from giving testi.
mony or from answerin any question
mony or from answering any question
within his knowledge, or from produc-
ing my book, paper or document on
the ground that the giving OF such tes-
timony or the production Of such book
paper or document would tend TO In
criminate him, or for any other rea-
son; but every person so t~estifying
shall be granted immunity from prose
cution with respect to n matter or
thing concerning which he may be in
t~errogated under oath upon during
such investigation.
Many democrats are amazed over the
sudden turn in the money trust in
quiry. They declare that il the Pujo
resolution is passed they will stand
just where they did prior to action on
the question by the caucus. There is
a good deal of feeling over the evident
determination of the committee, which
was formerly opposed to him, to re-
tain the services OF Mr.. Unterraeyer,
The New York lawyer was bitterly at
tackled in the money trust caucus, and
a lack Of confidence in his way was
expressed by certain members Of the
house. One democratic leader went
to the extreme Of reading a court de-
cision in which Mr.. Untermeyer was
scored by a Judge.
II present plans are carried out the
Pujo resolution will be ordered report
ed tomorrow. Representative Henry,
chairman Of the rules committee, is
anxious to have the matter disposed
OF at once.

ment of that object IL the defendant
should be compelled to associate with
Older and hardened criminals. There
Is no proper reformatory In this state
where courts can confine delinquents
OF b character OF this defendant.
IL will be observed that he was not
charged with the crime OF murder,
Indeed, there was no evidence TO sup
port such a charge had it been made.
Under the proofs. one can not fail be-
ing impressed with the thought that
the crime was the result Of a boyish
trick or prank, started with no pos
sibie conception of the dire and awful
results to follow. However reprehen-
sible h act; however much IL ought
not to be in any manner condoned;
however much the officers OF the law
courts, prosecuting attorneys and jur-
ors-would be subject to just criticism
did they fail to prosecute and bring to
justice the guilty person; yet, when
that is done and the law is INDICATED,
then justice should be tempered with
mercy, and only hat penalty aflxed
which will result In helping TO make
a good rather than n bad citizen out of
the offender. 1t must have been this
spirit which caused the legislature of
1903 to PASS the law which contem-
plates the court doing what I am do
Ing In this case. The spirit Of this en-
actment is in perfect harmony with the
modern and more enlightened method
of dealing with crime. If by the de-
PENDANT serving five years behind pris-
on walls, the life of young Mckenzie
could be restored to his beloved family
and the state, then the ends OF justice
would not be satisfied until the last
moment of the period of confinement
fixed by the jury had passed. Such,
however, is not the case, and the court
must now meet the problem as 1t is,
and adjust the eas Of punishment,
keeping it's real objects in view, realiz-
ing that should the mercy shown to
the defendant at this time be without
avail the authorities of the peniten-
tiary will have full power to immed-
lately place him behind prison walls
a condition is devoutly hoped may
never arise.
BY the court, Chas. A. Pollock. Judge.
