(Juneau Dispatch)

The above sentence of death was pronounced upon Edward krause yesterday afternoon in the District Court by Judge Robert w. Jen- nings, in a soft modulated tone which was not without a slight ex- pression of pathos.
 Thus ends, so far as local court proceedings are concerned one Of the most sensational murder trials ever held in Alaska. Edward krause will, on the eleventh day of May next be hanged by the neck until dead, unless an appeal, which his attorney indicated would be taken, is duly presented which will take the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting at San Fran cisco, for review.
 The court in pronouncing the above sentence gave krause nearly all the time the law allows con. victed first degree nurderers after sentence of death, that is, the law provides that after death sentence is imposed, execution must follow within ninety days, but not until after sixty of the ninety days have elapsed. The ninety days will ex- pire May Y, 1917.
 When court convened yesterday morning every seat in the room was taken. Among the spectators were several women. krause was led into court handcuffed to two deput y marshals.
 The judge, upon ascending th= bench, said: ''This is the time fol sentencing MT. Krause. MT. krause step forward" The defendant ad. vanced to the judges desk. He evinced very little, if any nervous ness. Continuing the Court said MT. krause, you have been trieo and convicted of the murder of MT James Plunkett; you have beer tried under the laws of the land jury of American citizens after hearing all the evidence, found yol guilty. A motion for a new tria duly made, has been over-ruled you have had the benefit of counsel of your choice. There is nothing left for the court to do but to pas: sentence upon you according to law The jury found a verdict of guilt, without adding thereto the word. without capital punishment tha leaves the court powerless tc i'm pose but one sentence. Have yo, anything to say now why sentenc' should not be pronounced?"
 krause, standing erect, in an al most inaudible tone, replied, Jus Ia few words" Continuing he said

in substance, still speaking in a low tone, "I am about to be sentenced to death upon the verdict of prej- udiced jury and the false testimony of kohn, Garfield, and McCaul: Garfield was mistaken in his evil dence about the letter and 1 have never been in MeCaul's. My re- quest for change of venue was denied. If Plunkett is dead l had nothing whatsoever to do With it. " Here Krause ceased to talk. Ad- dressing the defendant, the court said: Step,torward, MT. krause. ' krause did so and stood before the court with hands folded at his back in apparently cool manner; if he was nervous it was not noticeable to the onlookers. Further the court said: "Mr. krause. a grand jury indicted you for the murder of MT. Plunkett; a petit jury. found you guilty; you had fair and impartial trlal under the laws of the land; If the court has made any mistake ot law theve is another court that can correct it's mistake; If the court has not made any mistake in the law, the law will have to take its course. It is no pleasure to the court to pronounce sentence upon you, and it is not going to prolong this scene by any lecture or any remarks to make YOU feel any worse than you do now, but simrly pronounce the Sentence which the law provides 1T such cases.' Then followed the sentence above.
 All was quiet during the proceed ings. A pin could have been heard if droppod. The moment was ar intense one. An indescribable feeling seemed to come over the spectators. The spectacle of ( man being sentenced to hang by the neck until dead is an occasion
 nfrequently arising in this Repub l lie. It is an event fraught witt solemnitv and sadness, no matter how atrocious may have been the crime for which he is offering uI his life.
 Briefly, the murder for whict Krause is to pay the death penalty was committed in October 1916 when he left Juneau with Capt

Britain and France Already
Have Accepted Rus
sia's Proposal
Demand Restatement
New Republic Says Its Soldiers
"Must Know What They
Fight For"
From the Tfbune Bureau ]

Washington, July 23.-Great Britain
and France have accepted Russia's pro-
posal for a conference of the Entente
Allies in August to Orient war aims
and foreign policies. Italy and the
United States were not approached on
the subject, but il was considered prob
able in Russian official circles here to-
day that both the Washington and
Rome governments would be invited to
send representatives.
The conference has not been for
mally called, it was stated authorita-
lively, but this will be done at an early
date, as Russia is determined that the
restatement of the war aims Of the AL
lies shall take place, so that every Rus
sian soldier "may know what he is
fighting for" Such a declaration OF
aims, it was asserted, Is a political
necessity in Russia, the internal sit
uation of that country requiring a re-
nunciation of imperialistic designs.
Wilson to Define Statement
If the United States participates in
the conference. it was predicted TO-
day, a definition of President wilson's
statement relating to the status quo
ante and an outline of the programme
he had in mind when he addressed the
Russian government in June may Dc
asked. The note said:
"Of course, the German government
and those whom il is using for their
own undoing are seeking 70 obtain
pledges that the war will end in the
restoration of the status quo ante: IL
was the status quo ante out OF whlch
this iniouitous war issued forth-the
mower Of the imperial German govern
ment within the empire and It's wlde
snread domination and influence out
side that empire. That status must De
altered in such fashion as TO prevent
anv such hideous thing ever happening
again" ,; ro.o
Britain's reply to the Russian note
regarding war aims stated:
sGreat Britain did not enter the war
as a war of conquest and sne IS not
continuing it for any such object. heI
nurpose at the outset was TO deIehd
her existence and enforce respect for
international engagements. Another
object has now been added: The hDeTa-
tion of the populations oppressed Dy
the tyranny of the Central powers
Bevond everything, we must seek
settlement which will secure the hap,
nincss and contentment of peoples and
