Shot Deputy Sheriff.

today to Prosecuting Attorney Lucas,

and died Thursday night. The nine men
implicated in the affair were last night

the examination was adjourned for two
weeks. Six, including Plcse and Brisk,
have confessed.
Brisk declared that the party Of strik-

lacking Pollock. Plese said when they
met Pollock the deputy Shot Manerich
and that he then held Pollock's arms,
while Manerich wrested away the re-
volver and shot Pollock with it,
Brisk. corroborated this part of the

is that tho bullet taken from Pollock s

States Aid Necessary.

The chancellor in unfolding the govern
ments scheme for the Improvement of
the land system pointed out that the
financial aid of the state would have to
be invoked in order to deal firmly,
thoroughly and drastically with the
monopoly.
The country must choose" he con-
tinued, between the power of the land
owners and the prosperity of the laborers.
1t is no use temporiZing. All the condi-
tons of the monopoly must be recast and
put on fair business footing before
considering the purchase of the land,
which might involve an enormous en-
dowment to the present owners and bur-
den the community with a debt which it
would take long time to liqudate
Reforms Advocated.
The game preserves in the British
Isles must be reduced by two-thirds, and
the best labor must be drawn to the land
by a good living wage, shorter hours and
comfortable homes The laborer must
have land enough to provide himself and
his family with garden produce and the
prospect of ultimately attaining a small
farm. Experts must be provided to in
struct the cultivator, facilities given him
to market his produce cheaply and an
end put to the system by which certain
railroads give undue preference to for
eign produce.
THE system of rating must be
changed and greater facilities given to
the state to acquire land on terms fair
to the community as well as to the own
er. Powerful aid from the state, both
by legislation, administration and
finance, will be evoked to carry out all
these purposes and to put them into
effective operation

Called Great Monopoly.

Landlordism is the greatest MONOPOLY
In this land, Lloyd-George said, land the
people are trusting in the government to
put Iofth It's strong right hand to lift
them from the mire The authority of the
sovereign is not comparable to that of the
landlord over his subjects. He could
make and maintain a wilderness and he
mas legal authority to do more than even
foreign enemy could impose on the
country after conquest. In Ireland mil
lions have been driven away from the
land by legal process
Lloyd George proceeded to tell of the
CHASTITY failure of the land system of
Great Britain. THE percentage of Gull
uVated land here is lower than i'm any
other country OF Europe he said. This
state of affairs is due to the fatuous
and unbusinesslike methods of the land
lords.

to permit concessions to him not

the other bidders was permitted to
even make suggestion OF single

posal submitted in good faith and

1T is believed that by the accep-

into with it, with the several and
many concessions permitted by the
architect the memorial Will not De

Assured of Hearing.

The Secretary OF War has assured Mr.
Cowsill that he will not make any con-
tract until he has given the latter's pro-
test consideration. and a similar promise
has been made the Georgia delegation in
Congress, led by senator Bacon, Georgia
marble having been the closest competi-
tor to Colorado marble among the ma
terials considered.
Aside from the public interest in the
memorial. there has been great interest
among Washington builders and contrac-
tors i'm the proposed building. In addi-
ton to Arthur Cowsill. j. L. Parsons
was a bidder on the construction work,
and several Washington firms bid on the
foundations.
Mr. Cowsill thinks that the capability
of Washington firms is called into ques-
ton by the recommendation of the COM
mission, and in his protest to the Secre-
taTV of War he declares that the record
of Washington builders and their achieve
ments show that they have in their en-
ploy skilled local mechanics and work
men entirely competent to do the work.

recommendation of the commission was

quiry in regard TO the bidding for the

lowing IA visit to the office of the Secre-
tary of War he had decided to await the
action of that official. The Lincoln me-
mortal commission, of which former
President William H. Taft is chairman
Is required by act of Congress, to select
a contractor and oversee the construction
of the memorial, but the actual award or
the contract is placed by Congress in the
hands of the Secretary of War. The
commission met in Washington Septem-
Der -. and after a session of two days
recommended to the Secretary of War
by formal resolution, that he make
contract with the George A. Fuller Com
pany for S1.J61, so The extras in con-
nectiOn with the building, and the eX-
penses of the commission, of which there

ton up to more than the two-million-
dollar limit fixed by Congress before the
building is finished. The commission de-
cided to adopt Colorado yule' marble as
the material for the structure, and it is
stated that Senator Shafroth of Colo

to Robin Hood. Also like Robin Hood, all sorts
of stories of his impudent daring and his whim-

in fact are very like the legends OF Sherwood

Murrieta took all sorts of reckless chances.

Samuel Harrington. Taking Harrington's pa
