 It was noon and, in spite of the unac- customed altitude, ate hearty Peruvian breakfast consisting of soup, salad, several meat courses, vegetables, wine, and fresh strawber- ries and cream. Leaving the general managers car to be brought back by the next down train, We transferred to the hand and pushed off. The experiences of the next four hours too kalcdoscopic for accurate or detailed description. We started amid snow and ice, bundled up in sweaters, overcoats, and blankets, and landed in lemon and orange groves four hours later Continuously before us unrolled a grand pano- rama ever changing and ever more wonderful Where as our train had painfully toiled upward foot by foot seemed to rush down mile at swoop. But two stops were made ;n the 106 miles, for section gang repairing track in a tunnel and again to let the up-pas- senger train by.

FEW SENTENCES
 0F DEATH IMPOSED
JuRIES IN CRIMINAL COURTS FAVOR LAW REGARDING CAP
 ITAL OFFENSES.
BILL WAS A COMPROMISE
Result of Agreement Between Advo. cates of Old Law and the
 Legislators.
Little Rock

The juries in criminal courts throughout the state are taking a6- vantage of the act passed by the last Legislature permitting verdicts either Of electrocution or life sentence in the penitentiary in capital cases. Up to three months ago juries had no discre- tion in fixing the punishment in capi tai cases, and whenever a verdict of first degre murder, criminal assault, etc, was returned the death penalty was the sentence imposed. The spring terms of criminal divisions of circuit courts held since the legislature ad- Journed have developed number Of cases in which convictions of capital cases were obtained. but in nearly every instance the juries assessed the punishment at life imprisonment in stead of death. It is evident from the record already made by the courts of the state that only in extreme cases will juries assess the death penalty. The bill passed by the legislature was compromised between those who ia vored the abolition of capital punish ment and the old law of mandatory death sentences.

Governor Hays issued a proclama- tfon authorizing the expenditure of S2,000 for the completion of the in- yestigation of the old Charities Board by the committee appointed hy the re cent legislature. The proclamation was issued following conferences with the chairman, Senator J. o. A. Bush Of Prescott, Senator John l.. Carter of Eudora, and other members of the committee. The issuing of the proc lamation was made necessary by the injunction obtained by Representative Jo Johnson of Fort Smith, which stop ped the pay of the Investigating con- 'nittee after March 31.
 Senator Bush said the amount pro- vided in the proclamation would be sufficient to complete the investiga- ton. The committee will report to the governor when the work is com pleted. The proclamation provides that the committee be authorized to issue vouchers. These will be paid out of an appropriation by the next legislature.
 In letter to Governor Hays the committee members wrote that a great part of the work already done is in the form of stenographic notes, and would not be of value unless provi- sion was made to pay for the trans eribing. The letter states that in the opinion of the committee "the results will justify he completion of the task which is nearly finished"
 Senator Bush says the committee will examine a number of witnesses before the completion of the investi- gation.
