AS an Indication that demand for steel
products, following the close of the war,
will be sufficient to sustain that industry
in its present expanded condition for
some time, 1t is pointed out that steel
products now are so dear that building
and other Bmestic operations
are being curtailed.

fused BY William A. Bryan, chairman

to the Republican committee, but as
vet no answer has been received.
In his letter Bryan said. AS the
question OF city bonds at this time is
not a regular territorial campaign is

entirely Of Republican origin, and as
the proposal as a whole is not gem

plea 81 guilty to murder in the second degree and
was thereupon given a sentence of life iinprison

The crime was Ms eoldblooded aud crafty as any
lin the police annals Of the Valley Island, probably
as any in the history Of these islands For five
wears this Japanese had carried in his revengefu
brain the project of some day getting the plaiita
ZION man with whom he had had trivial dispute
For months he plotted actively TO carry out his de
sign of murder When he finally came upon his
victim alone he shot him from his horse and then
finished the bloody deed after which he fed But

the kind Of slips which often leave clues TO violent

ties to enter plea of guilty TO seconddegree muir

he could have repudated on the stand The rest
was circunistantial.
1t is of course hest known to tile Mani prosecut-

Probably he had good reason TO believe there was

rond for the senate is close and hot The political
luau almost forgotten in the 1916 campaign, has
been revived and the candidates are kept busy max
ing speeches and paying for pig and poi. The Re-
