ernor interferes the sentence will be
carried out.
Governor Slaton says he respited
MCNaughton the first time because
the Prison Commission had not pass
ed upon his petition for ClemenCy, and
that he though the doomed man was
entitled to a recommendation, one
way or the other, at the hands of that
body
II is probable the hearing will ex-
tend over two or more days. All the
attorneys have been notified to he on
hand tomorrow, as the Governor has
been through the entire record and is
ready to hear arguments.
Governor Slaton has given out no
hint as to what he will do in the
case. The Prison Commission has
recommended a pardon by a 2 to
l vote. one commissioner holding out
for life Imprisonment.
The Governor, Of course, is in no
way bound by the recommendation of
the Prison Board and may or may
not follow it.
He says he will settle the case en-
tirely upon his own idea of what is
right and just, and without regard to
anything that may have been done in
the case heretofore.

Solicitor r. Lee Moore, who prose-
cuted Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee and
obtained a life sentence, said he would
make the fight of his life before Gov
ernor Slaton.
'McNaughton is guilty and ought to
hang" he said. 1T will be a gross
miscarriage Of justice If he does not.
The law has already been too lenienr
with him. He lived with that mans
wife and gave him arsenic every day
until he got him to the stepping OFF
place, and then gave him the knock
out drop"
Solicitor Moore declared he did not
believe Mrs Godbee would get a new

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Presdent John H.
Patterson of the National Cash Reg.
lister company of Dayton, Ohio, was
sentenced to serve one year in the
county jail at Troy, Ohio, and to pay
fine of $4,000 for violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. Twenty-eight
other officials and employees of the

varying from three months to one
year and were ordered to pay the
costs of the prosecution.
The sentences were pronounced af-

which, he declared, were needless in

could have been made legitimately and
without violation of the law. Closing

JOAQUIN" MILLER is DEAD.
The Poet of the Sierras Dies at His
Home in California.

Oakland, Cal.-Joaquin Miller (Cin-
cinnatus Heine), "the poet of the ST.
erras," died in his one-room cabin,
which he built in the Piedmont hills
many years ago. The end came with
warm sunshine flooding the room
where lay the author of Songs Of
the Sunland.'
Death came slowly upon the veneer
able poet. He became unconscious at.
ter lingering illness, which began
when he was struck by paralysis two
years ago. His wife and daughter,
Juanita, were summoned at that time
from the east, and have been with
him since. The weakness of age had
come upon him, and he rarely ven
tured from the Heights, as he called
his mountain retreat.
For many years the Heights has
been the Mecca for lovers of Joaquin
Miller's poetry. He always received
his visitors graciously and loved to
tell in a vein of quaint humor of the
old, adventurous days which he me-
morialized in his verses.

BILL VETOED BY PRESIDENT
Rushes Reasons for Veto to the Sen
ate in Special Message.

Washington.-Pr Taft vetoed
the Dillingham-Burnett immigration
bill. which would revOlutionize the
immigration policy of the United
States by imposing a literacy test up
on all foreigners seeking home in
America.
In a short message to the senate,
in his own handwriting, the president
announced his disapproval of the
measure solely because Of the pro-
vision which would lock the doors
of the United states against the alien
who could not read some language
The veto message was accompanied
nv a letter to the president from Sec
retarv Nagel denouncing the literacy
test as a radical provision, based up
on a fallacy in undertaking to apply
q fest which is not calculated to reach
tI,e truth and to find relief from a
danger which really does not exist
