the reason provided by the law that

The records of the municipal court

The lower court fixes maximum and
a minimum penalty, and ii is the duty
of a judge of a supreme court to con-
slider whether the sentences imposed
in the inferior court are too light, or
are excessive The law court has acted
nthis way by changing awards for
damages when it has thought them eX-
cessive.
Judge Connolly pointed out that
there have been cases where respon-
dents have waived a hearing, pleaded
no tguilty. and have been found guilty.
This, he said, was convicting without
the presentation of any evidence. APP
peals have been taken in the cases.
Can it be said judge must find a

kind?"

He declared that the standard for
sentence in IA higher lourt is the law
and not the action in lower court.
He referred to the advice offered by
the county attorney and the sheriff
and said that it was perfectly prop
er for the court to seek advice or for
the county attorney or sheriff to Of

two latter officials to attempt to say
what the sentence should be; that
would be making the county attorney

The judge referred to the fact that
the occurrences mentioned in the
Record had taken place long after
the September term of court. 1t was
after this session that the saloons mad

be said that they had opened because
of any act of Justice Haley.
.'How can any jury say it was done

Would Have Con-
qresS Convene Earlier

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Shaf-
roth Of Colorado is pressing the senate
judiciary committee for favorable ac-
ton on his resolution to amend the
Constitution so as to make the date OF
the converting of Congress the f1rst
Monday in January following the cleo
ton instead of March 4, and to have
the term Of the President begin the
third Monday in January instead OF
March L. In a statement presented to
the committee the senator asserted
that the proposed change in the date of
the opening Of Congress would prevent
such a situation as arose in the Hayes
Tilden controversy in 1876, by making
1t impossible that House composed
in part of members who had not been
reelected should decide the election of
a. President. Under his plan the newly
elected representatives would settle
such an issue.
Other arguments made by Senator
Shafroth in favor of his amendment
were that it would abolish the short
session; members would come fresh
from their campaigns to Congress be-
fore they had time to forget their
pledges to the people and legislation
by men who had failed of election
would be eliminated.

press q lives were lost. Murray was
sent back to Rag the White Mountain
Express. but had only gone a short
distance before the train passed him.
The states contention was that Muir
ray did not go back far enough in the
performance of his duty.
In pronouncing sentence. the court
said that Murray's negligence was
very remote. The real cause was the
system under which the fagman
worked The fiagman had four min
utes IN which to go back 1000 feet, and
even if he had covered that distance,

not have been avoided, in the opinion
of the court.

Board was empowered tc appoint a
committee to meet with a similar
committee from the Western Fedora
ton to discuss the amalgamation, and,
If a plan should be agreed upon, to
submit 1t to the miners for referen-
dunn vote. The report of the commit
tee whether it reaches. an agreement
or not must be submitted to the next
biennial convention.
Two other important resolutions
were adopted by the convention. One
was a substitute offered by the reso-
lutions committee refusing to endorse
the immigration bill, introduced in the
United States Senate by Senator Dill
bingham. 1t was set forth thee a copy
of the Dillingham; bill had been re-
ceived and that it was too voluminous
to be read or considered by the con-
vention. The substitute returned the
international officers to work in con-
junction with the executive commit
tee for some bill which would stem
the tide of immigration, so that the
large army Of unemployed already in
the country could be given work.
