THORNE MUST DIE.
COURTS DECISION
Twice-Convicted Murderer OF
George w. Fassell Has
Only One Hope Left.
PARDON BOARD CAN ACT
Thomas Riley, His Partner in
the Crime, Is Also Denied
New Trial.
PARDON BOARD CAN ACT

Only Interference by the board OF par
dons can avert the death at the hands OF
the state for Harry Thorne. twice con-
vlcted murderer OF George w Fassel on
March "a, 1910. The state supreme court
yesterday handed down an opinion con-
tlrmlng the judgment OF tho lower court.
Wnicn JudSm ent sentenced Thorne to be
bhpt In eXpiation OF his crime The
opinion was written by Chief Justice j.
r. Flick and concurred In by Justices W,
NJ. NcCarty and D. N, Straup.
This was the second appeal OF Thorne
10 the supreme court The first was
based on alleged prejudicial testimony on
the ground that Thorne was compelled
TO don the garb Of holdup. The second
appeal was based largely on the ground
that no recommendation for mercy was
provided for in the courts instructions
to the jury.
Thomas Riley, Thornes partner In the
holdup, who also has been convicted OF
murder, has lost his last chance OF es-
Gaping the execution. Iis case has been
pending until the settlement OF that OF
Thorne, IN which he was n witness.
AS soon the supreme court sends
down remittitur, for which twenty days
is allowed. both men will be taken into
the district court for re-sentence.
Thorne passed the night In his cell al
the state prison ignorant OF the laws
final decision against him. He viii not
be told OF 1t until today. Supper had
been served md the prisoners had gone
to their cells before the news OF the
supreme courts action reached the prls-
on. II WAS not deemed necessary to In
form the condemned at that time.

TENDER OF $4,000
LICENSE IS FUTILE
Commissioners Disregard APP
peal of Poolroonl Men Made
Through Attorney.

Attorney Willard Hanson. representing
the owners of several poolrooms catering
to bettors on the results OF race tracks,
appeared before the city commissioners
yesterday TO ascertain If the city COM
miSsioncrs would entertain the passage
Of an ordinance licensing the poolrooms
WITHIN the city and stated that his eli
ents would be willing to pay tie CITY a
license fee OF $4,000 q year In advance
II allowed to operate in the downtown
section.
His proposition met with a prompt re-
fuSal from Z majority OF the commits
sioncrs. who were inclined To think that
IL would be better TO let we'll enough
alone.
Mr.. Hanson indicated that IL the COM
mlssioners would not grant a license that
a poolToon would be started in the city
In order that the proprietors might be
arrested and a test case brought
The fact that the operators were able
10 defeat the county attorney in the dis
trict court is said TO have given them a
new lease Of life and q Arm belief that
a similar result could be had IN the city,
although realizing thai even though vic
torious I'm the courts IL would stu be pos
sible for The commissioners to FIX a H.
cense fee Hence the offer 10 paw an
amount which is almost double that
liked by the ordinance recently PASSED

POLICEMEN ASSIST
DESTITUTE WOMAN
They Are Moved to Pity by
Touching Tale Desertion
and Poverty.

Mrs. William Rillston, sol Someroy
street, went to the police station last
night with her five little children to
ask If her husband was in the city jail.
He was not, but her pitiful tale Of deS-
titution and desertion moved her audi
tors to a point Of sympathy that did
not stop this side of their pocketbooks.
At the suggestion Of John Hempel, cap
tain Of police, every man In the sta
tion at the time went down in his pock-
cts for all the nickels and dimes he
happened TO have. When the collec-
tIon was complete, 1t was poured into
the hands Of the little woman aud TO
the credit Of the police it may be said
that she had to use both hands. Tears
coursed down her cheeks as she left the
station with the children clingrng TO
her skirts.
According to Mrs, Rillstou's Is story
her husband returned from out-of-town
work a month ago, bringing with him
a case Of smallpox to which two of the
children fell victims. The little home
was quarautined and the father went
away again. She has not seen him
since nor received any support from
him, she said. A warrant is out for his
arrest on a charge of desertion

WOMAN PAYS DEBT
TWELVE YEARS OLD
Striking Example of Fine
Honesty Noted by Local
Business Firm.

Most business men consider a debt bad,
after six months. and probably the
Booth Fisheries company OF this city has
heretofore accepted this as q fact. Yes
terday, however. n circumstance occurred
which may cause this firm to change Its
opinion.
It seems that twelve years ago a wom-
an, then conducting q boarding house
hero. purchased from the company
oysters to the value OF $40. requesting
that the amount be charged. The bill
remained unpaid until yesterday. when
tbe woman came to the store to pay the
long outstanding amount. She said that
for the past twelve years she has been
working hard in order TO pay off debts
incurred when she had the boarding
house The fisheries company told her
not to pay II she could use the money.
She insisted, however. and paid the debt.

Fight for Salt Lake,

A hard fight was pat UP by a. consid-
cradle number OF delegates who wished
Salt Lake for the next meeting place OF
the convention. but the sentiment In
favor OF Cleveland for this honor car
ried the day and that city was selected
sor the convention in 1915
The G. /. A. meetings wore contem-
porary with those held by the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers.
Advlces received by NJ Nj. Eywater,
son OF Joseph G. Bywater. who has been
attending the convention OF the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers as a dele
Lake branch OF that organization. con-
tain encouraging news for the faithful
"throttle holders"
Letters from the Salt Lake delegate to
his son reveal the fact that the gredtest
point OF Issue that the convention had
to face-the question OF penslons-was
brought to a satisfactory conclusion ow-
ing TO the efforts OF the local represent
tatiVe.
Action Unanimous.
Mr.. Bywater introduced TO the conven-
ton resolution that WAS unanimously
passed, providing for a pension fund
which should be accessible 10 engineers
brotherhood. The exact wording Of the
bill cannot be determined until the ar
rival OF Mr.. Bywater at the end of the
month, but the substance OF the resolu-
OF so years or o-1r who have seen active
service for Mt least three years.
The bill also provides for the future
welfare OF those manned or injured who
are above or under 60 years, whose
period of service does not extend be-
yond the required three years.
Heretofore the brotherhood has had
no pension fund and as far s can be
learned the railroads which are repre-
sented in the organization have no sys-
tenn OF anDuities or pensions, On this
account the accepted bill OF Mr.. Bywa ter
Is expected 10 prove revolutionary, as 1t
is the first Of it's kind eGtant.
In addition 10 having the honor Of be-
ing the father OF this resolution. Mr.. BY
water was chosen one of a commltte ee
OF four who viii go to Washington for
tho purpose Of meeting Representatives
Of similar organizations In the United
States who Will seek to get together on
lines OF common railroad philanthropy
and organization management Up 10
this time there has been more or less
rivalry between the various engineer
organizations, all OF which has proven q
drawback 10 the general cause. and II is
expected that the meeting in the capital
will put an end 70 the unfriendliness
that has existed in the past
Accompanying Mr.. Bvwater are his
daughter Gladys and son Lynn.
