THE SEWER BOND ISSUE.
Continued from page ~

or delay matters for possibly another
year in order to re-refer the matter TO
the people and hold another election
on the subject.
Legal knowledge Costly.
For the consideration of something
like 5000, the council can secure the
lid of an expert bond attorney from
New York ci;y, which is being seri-
ously thought of by various members
of the city body They believe in this
way the matter can be Strengthened
out so as 10 legalize the election and
enable the city to place the matter in
the hands Of different bonding COM
panies in a more substantial FORM
The Woodmen of the World lodge
has been thinking seriously of taking
the $3SOOOO worth of bonds which
have been voted by Salem, but so far
the order has not taken any active
steps toward making an investigation.
The orders chief counsel is located in
Denver, Colo, and Councilman Minton
is in favor Of delaying the drawing up
of the articles until that attorney has
been permitted to look into the issue.
In any event, there promises to be
something don'" in the council
chambers this evening when the bond
ing matters comes up for discussion.
As Councilman Rigdon declares, the
people of Salem are showing signs of
nervousness over the delay in the final
settlement of the bonding question,
and there is storm brewing for the
members of the council unless the
mandate handed down by the voters
last December is obeyed without any
unnecessary delay.

NEW STOCKINGS.

Darn tho Heels Before Wearing and
They viii Last Longer.
Your stockings will last longer II you
darn the heels Of all new hosiery with
silk before wearing them Stockings
treated in this manner last so well that
one is quite repaid for the little extra
trouble taken in the first place.
Another way to save the endless
darning of holes Is to put small neat
patch Of velvet on the heels Of new
stockings. This more than doubles the
life of the stockings and saves hours
of labor.

OF READING
TEN.CENT LITERATURE

Louis Sires, an Indian lad, was ar
rested last Saturday night at Chema-
wa by Sheriff Esch on the charge Of
placing an obstruction on a railroad
track, and brought to this city, where
he was locked up in the county bas-
tile, pending arraignment.
This is a case that shows the pecu-
liar ideas a youth may have, who is
inclined to both romance and is short
of money. According to the story told
to Sheriff Esch by the boy, he had fig
ured out this scheme, whereby he
could secure liberal reward by saw
ing an Oregon Electric train from 60
ing into the ditch. The plan, which
he carried out, was to pile several
heavy railroad ties on the track near
the Chemawa station, and wait for the
limited to arrive When the train ap-
peared in sight at the end of the big
long straight stretch of road north of
Chemawa and had arrived within a
quarter of mile of the pile Of ties,
the young man said he ran down the
track, waving a piece of a red shirt.
He stopped the cars, he said, but re-
ceived no reward.

though the punishment prescribed by
statute is a severe one in usual cases,
the age of the defendant will have
much to do with his punishment and
It is not likely that he will receive
more than a sentence to the Oregon
training school.

TO AMERICAN PEOPLE
Former British Ambassador at
Pilgrim Dinner Refers to
Cordially at'Washington.

NEW YORK. April 26-James Bryce
on the eve Of his departure for home
after six years as ambassador to the
United States from Great Britain, said
his farewell to the American people last
night in an address here before the Pill
grims Society of the United States. He
referred with feeling to his cordial .rela-
lions with the three Presidents who had
been in office during his service in Wash
ington, and said he had no words to
convey his sense Of the kindness with
which he had been received during his
travels in America. Four trips across
the continent and visits to every state
in the Union, he said, had given him
acouaintances in all sections.
Referring to the friendship existing be-
tween America and Great Britain. Mr..
Bryce expressed the hope that this might
be extended to- embrace other countries.
He did not touch directly upon any issue
now pending between the American and
British government. This statement.
however. was regarded as significant
with good will and with a conviction
that one of every nations highest assets
is that sense OF national honor which
will make ii live up to its international
obligations. all questions between nations
can be adjusted, and ! am sure that any
questions between your country and mine
will be adjusted in that way"

Special Correspondence Of The Star
ROCKVILLE. Md, April %. 1913.
Norman Bruce McCleary. whose trial
for the murder of Mrs. Mamie B. Henry
was concluded in the circuit court here
late yesterday afternoon after having
consumed nine days, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree by Judges
Hammond Urner, Edward c. Peter. and
Glenn H. Worthington. before whom the
case was tried. and he was Immediately
sentenced to the Maryland penitentiary
for life.
The case was submitted to the court at
5:25 yesterday afternoon. and exactly one
hour later the verdict was announced by
Chief Judge Urner, who simply said: I'm
this case the verdict is that Norman
Bruce McCieary is guilty OF murder in
the first degree. The court is ready to
pass sentence"
he. heard the decision. was asked If he
had any reason to assign why sentence
should not be passed for the crime of
which he had been convicted. He half
arose from his chair. and replied in an
almost inaudible voice, NO" at the same
time shaking his head.
Judge Urner' then said: THE sentence
of the court is that you be confined in
the Maryland penitentiary for the period
Of your natural life.
Receives Sentence Coolly.
Upon learning that the sentence was
life Imprisonment and not the death pen
atty, an expression Of relief passed over
his face Aside from the paleness re-
ferred to. McCleary heard his fate with
the same display of nerve that marked
his demeanor throughout the greater part
Of the trial.
In passing sentence. Judge Urner did
not refer to the testimony. He said that
the trial had been extremely painful to
slider that any useful purpose would be
served by further discussion of what
had been testified to. He also said that
after considering all the circumstances
the court had decided 1t better to exer-
else It's di6cretiOn and make the penalty
life IMPEACHMENT instead Of the alterna-
tive of cADatal punishment.
The case was submitted to the court
following an entire day of arguments OF
counsel.
Immediately after sentence was passed
Attorney Wagaman suggested to the
court that the defense probably would
ask an extension of the usual time for
filing an appeal
II an appeal is taken, it is understood
it will be based principally upon the
ground that the court here erred in ad-
defense objected to the admission Of the
confession on the ground that 1t waa
obtained by improper methods. and that
at the time 1t was signed McCleary was
not in proper mental condition to make
a voluntary confession.

Chinese Ranks Depleted.

The number of Chinese in California is
said to be much smaller than commonly
supposed. According to the report OF
the immigration commission. owing to the
| stoppage of immigration. the return OF
many Chinese to their own country
and the migration of many others in
California to the east of the United
States. the number of Chinese in the
west has materially decreased in the
last decade. Even in 1900 there were
only 5000 Chinese in the while Of con-
tinental United States. about 10000 OF
whom resided in California.
Since then they have been driven out
Of most OF their lines of employment by
Americans and japanese. either through
local prejudic's against their employ ment
or because they commanded much higher
wages than the Japanese. Particularly IN
agriculture has this process OF displace-
ment gone on. though. according to the
commissions report in the deciduous fruit
industry, comparatively large groups OF
Chinese are employed upon ranches or
by combination lease these ranches them
selves. As the Japanese have advanced
the Chinese have leased fewer orchards
and withdrawn to grow vegetables. or
have gone to the towns and cities to en-
gage In small business. The latest figures
quoted by the commission from the as
| SCISSORS books of San Francisco show
that only o,42) Chinese were engaged in
manufactures. number much smaller
than formerly.
Probably some of these Chinese who
own their own factories and houses would
be adversely affected by the enactment
Of the alien land-owning bill. 1t is ques-
tionable whether they could receive the
same degree of protection as the Japa-
nese in view of the more definite treaty
