MARY HUBBARD SGETS A FIVE
YEAR SENTENCE.

Mary Hubbard, who was arraigncd
IN the Corporation Court Yesterday
morning charged with the murder of
Ida Robertson on March 4, was found
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree and sentenced to serve a term
OF live years in the State pcnitentiary
The Commonwealth, by n large
array of witnesses contended that the
Hubbard woman shot Ida Robertson
without proVocation and that the
killing was deliberate and with
malice. The defense claimed the
killing was done in seif-dcfense.
According to the testimony of Mary
Lee, Rubic Lofts and Lizzie Irwin,
Ida Robertson asked the defendant
out of the dance hall to fight out a
grudge which seems to have existed
between the women for some time.
These witnesses told the jury they
saw the Robertson woman make an
attack upon the defendant with a
bottle and that the shooting occurred
after the first attack by the Robertson
woman.
'Roland Ilarth, manager Of the
dance hall, told the jury that he
heard no quarrel between the two
women during the progress OF the
dance. When the amusement Of the
| evening was over, he closed the place
and had just gotten out side when
he saw the last shot fired. Upon cross
| examination, he said he did not know
what took place between the women
before the shooting took place
! Many other witnesses said that Ida

FOUR GREAT MONTHS.

DETERMINATIONS
 IN FREIGHT RATES
 TO BE WIPED OUT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-As an important step towards wiping out local freight rate discrimination and knocking down rate walls between many States, the railroad adminis- tration proposes tentatively to es- tablish new scales of class rates in five zones throughout the west and south, scientifically worked out and based largely on cost of transporta- tion and density of traffic.
 The proposed scales, which will be subject to long consideration be- fore the Interstate Commerce Com mission, state commissions and rail- road traffic committees before adop- tion, would cause slight advances in some rates and reduction in others, without any general fuctuation in either direction.

Alaska Grief Stricken.
(Cordova Times. )

(Cordova Times)
 Mere words will fail utterly to describe the depths of of grief and helpessness felt by the people of the North at the great calamity that has befaen in the loss of the steamship Princess Sophia with all on board. It comes distinct personal loss and be- reavement to each one of us, for scarcely home in Alaska Yukon but will mourn tine loss of some relative dear friend. And the gallant of the Yukon river steamboats, many of whom board the ill-fated ship, known and beloved of all the thousands of travellers who have yearly passed back and forth and from the great Interior of Alas ka and the neghboring Canadian province
 The request of Governor Riggs that 'as mark of respect to beloved dead and to the crushed and broken families all flags in the Territory shall be placed at half staff for period of three days and that all churches shall conduct memorial services and that each person believing in a merciful God knowing how little and helpless all, shall ask for gud and strength" will strike responsive chord in the hearts of all In times of catastrophe and grief mankind in its helplessness nsnctively turns to it's Creator
 The rugged Alaska coast has been the graveyard of many a gallant ship with its precious human freight ,and thousands have gone to watery graves during the past twenty years But in none of these disasters heretofore has there been such complete rfce in the present instance Not sole survivor of that great company of strong men, tender women and young children! Many of these were leaving the Territory after of hardship and toll in an n hosptabIe clime after having attained competence which should enable them to live under less ardu conditions Some, indeed, were making their first trip Outside since the first great rush to the country North were on their way to Joln loved ones who al ready had preceded them to the States All no doubt filled with joy at the approaching reunion with friends and families. And in trice they hurled into eternity by the angry elements.
 Because there survivors it will never be known under just what circumstances the catastrophe occurred. Consequently conjecture and opinion to whether the disaster avoidable is idle. We can only believe and that everything done that seamanship and bravery could devise to the weak and helpless.
 Of one thing we can be assured, that is that the men and of the North who down to death in the dark of Lynn canal died bravey and with unsefsh heroism their first thoughts were for the weaker and helpless.
 In the wreck of the Princess Sophia down some of the noblest of the manhood and womanhood of the North.

A careful study of the Eastern newspapers dis closes thing very clearly that was accomplished by the letter of President Wilson asking for Demo- cratic Congress and that was the pledge of the in coming Congress that it will stand by him. Nearly all of the Republican candidates for Senate and House immediately began campaigns to demonstrate that they believed thoroughly in the policies Of the President than their opponents did. And evidently shey did make the people believe it.

pneumonia such as visits this coun- try every now and then, but in the present case agitation and hysteria have made the epidemic more wide spread. He claims that the epidemic of colds does not necessitate the closing of schools, churches and places of amusement. The tendency to take cold, he says, is due to the lack of sugar in quantity. The lack of sugar has been responsible for the reduction of the natural body heat, and, as a consequence, the tend ency to contract colds has been greater Maybe Henry is right. Anyway, his theory is interesting.
