VIII my life end-or still go ont
oh, this is what l think I'll do,
When you crown rosemary with rue
I'll make myself so fair and sweet,
With laughing lips and tripping feet,
That soon another lad I'll meet,
And none may dream | think of you.
But never will so the way
We travelled all our time of May.
And never will hum the tune
You sang our merry month of June,
And though I'm laughing late and soon
You know my heart will not be gay
The Winter Spsrkles cold they say,
So lii you should go away.

There were delirious evenings of wine

The court gave the railroads until

The original decree Of the supreme
court ordered the railroad combination
to dissolve by May l. Because no
plan for sale of the Union Pacifc's

was asked to extend the time for
making the decree effective until July

court April "a by former Senator John

ASKING PARDON
FOR ENRIGHT
There Seems Some Doubt as to His
Having Been Guilty Of
Murder.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 5.-A plea
for pardon for Maurice Enright, who
is serving a sentence in Joliet peni-
Tertiary for the murder for Vincent
Altman in the Briggs house at Chica-
go, was heard today by the state
board of pardons. More than 100 la
Dor officials were here in Enright' s
interest He was represented by for
mer Governor Richard Yates and At
torneys John Coburn, Chicago, and
Frank Reed, Aurora.
The attorneys and labor leaders
first called on Governor Dunno and
gave him a brief statement of what
they intended to show before the par
don board. The governor informed
them that he would not consider the
matter until the board had acted.
Inspector Michael Hunt, formerly
of the Chicago police force, declared
that F. H. irish, the only witness who
positively identified Enright as the
murderer Of Altman, had come to
him after the trial and said he had
misrepresented the facts. Irish is an
epileptic according to Hunt. Other
witnesses declared that Enright did
not kill Altman, and some of them ex-
pressed the belief that William Gen
tleman fired the fatal shot.
The killing occurred during labor
war in which the steamfitters' union
played an important part.
