Hart
Says OIcott
Confessed ! Slayer Of
Sheriff Taylor, Now
Confined in Pen Can
Not Be Aided

The law which has decreed that
Neil Hart shall died on November
for the murder of Sheriff Til Tay-
lor of. Umatilla county will be al
lowed to take its course and no ap-
plications from any source for elem
ency Of any kind will be considered
according to statement issued by
Governor Olcott this morning. The
governors statement follows:
Neil Hart. self-confessed mur-
derer Of Sheriff Til Taylor Of Una
tilla county, has been received at
the Oregon state penitentiary under
sentence to be executed November
,5th. 1t Is inconceivable that any
one but his very near relatives
should enter any plea that his SEN
tence be lessened in any degree, but
in order that there may be no mis-
understanding / wish to nsaKe It
plain at this time that no applica-
tions from any source for clemency
Of any kind will be considers~ in
this cause and tnel aw will be al
lowed to take it's course
+ Emmett T. Bancroft. alias Neil
Hart, self confessed slayer of Sher-
iff Til Taylor OF Umatilla county,
was dressed in as prisoner at the
penitentiary here at 4:30 Sunday
afternoon and assigned to an impro
vised death cell, which he will oe-
cupy in solitary confinement until
he pays the supreme penalty for his
crime on November S.
When assured by Warden Comp
ton that he would be accorded ev-
cry courtesy during his brief So
journ in the state prison as Tong
as he showed disposition to play
square, tears filled the prisoners
eyes and for several minutes he was
unable to speak. When, however
he did recover his composur-, ,,-
assured the warden that he need
fear no trouble from him.
Hart expressed great remorse
over the deed which has led him
to the prison under sentence to
hang, and declared that he had ex-
perienced a complete change Of
heart since his days of outlawry
which eliminated in the killing OF
Sheriff Taylor.
While Hart will be kept in soli-
tary confinement and not perm,.sec
to associate with the other prison
ters, he will be accorded the privi-
|lege Of daily exercise In the prison
"bull pen" under heavy guard.
Hart was brought to Salem by
Sheriff w. r. Taylor, brother OF the
murdered man, and Deputy Sheriff
Sinclair, who stated that their pris'
oner had offered no trouble on his
journey from Pendleton to the state
capital. Two other prisoners were
also in the party. Victor Argo and
Henry Lass, sentenced to three yeai
terms for larceny.

Given Thanks
OF MacSwiiney

London, Sept. 20.-Terence Mac
swiney, lord mayor of Cork, had
a bad night and was very weak
this morning, according to bull
letin issued by the Irish Self De-
termination league. The bulletin
stated that Annie MacSwiney, sis
ter of the lord mayor, had just
left Brixton prison, where he today
began the 39th day of his hunger
strike, and declared his condition
was unchanged except for increas-
ed weakness.
The physician at Brixton pris-
on reported to the home office
that the lord mayors condition was
virtually unchanged.
Lord Mayor MacSwiney last
night wrote a message to Irish
men throughout the world on be-
half of himself and the hunger
strikers in Cork jail. After thank
ing them for their sympathy and
prayers, the lord mayor said, ac-
cording to the London Times:
"If this cold blooded murder Is
pushed through it will leave a
stain on the name of England
which has no parallel (even in
her history and which nothing
will ever efface.
1--WE forgive all those who are
comprising our death. This bait
tie is being fought with clean
hearts, purely for our country. We
have made our peace with God
and bear i'll will toward no man.
After invoking Gods blessing
upon all who prayed for the pris-
oners, MacSwiney concluded by
saying:
II believe God is watching over
our country and by His divine de-
cree her resurrection is at hand.
I believe this is her last battle for
liberty and that God will crown
it with complete victory"

London, Dee. 9th. : Discussing the
visit Of the Prince of Wales to the
city yesterday, the Times remarks,
that it is almost a year since he
spoke at the Mansion House after
his return from Canada. The burden
Of his speech at that time was the
change the war had madesin the mutual
relations between the various states of
the empire, and he insisted that the old
country must understand the ideals and
aspirations OF the dominions. These
truths, says the Times, have made their
way into the consciousness Of the Brit
ish people during the past year, but they
are not vet understood here in Their full
significance, even by some leading states
men OF these islands, as witness the an
tiquated ideas of what dominion status
means, which have been evident in re-
cent contributions to the Irish question.
The Princes final words yesterday were:
The Dominions want population. We
have population to spare, but a purely
bushes method Of emigration is no good
nowadays. Flaming prospectuses will
not draw emigration steadily from this
country. What is wanted is to plan hu-
man cooperation. We should not feel
that we are populatings places that will
be lost to US, and they or their side should

AN AUTUMN LESSON.

NV nv WIN -SSSSSs
On the Ridge the slopes are yelled in
smoky haze:
Gold and purple border winding
country ways;
And the rivers breast receives
Hosts Of yellow willow leaves,
While a sadness seems to haunt
those autumn days.
As the wayside glories fade and fall
and die,
Beaten down by wind and rain
meath gloomy sky.
Hidden soon by snow AMI frost
They'll lie dead, and yet not lost.
We shall see them rise ag,lin when
Spring comes by.
For their dust shall nourish seeds
that they have borne;
Beauty then shall crown the passing
5ss we now mourn;
Evry lovely thing that died
In tho years sad eventide,
Will bring blooms to grace the places
now forlorn.
Withered hopes. OF which, save God,
mono ever know
Frost dimmed beauties Of tho dreams
that ne'er came truc.--
Z All the things we loved 30 much,
Faded,-crumbling at touch
Autumn breexes bring their ghosts
Ia sad review.
Yet these hopes which only lived so
short space,
Lend moro beauty to the things that
take their place.
When our Winter shall be past.
And God sends our Spring at last,
In its happiness our old dreams we
shall trace.

The session Of the California leg
islature Of last year. attempted to
remedy the matter thru q bill
amending the act by forbtdding leas-
ing entirely. and by preventing the
use Of interpretations for the purpose
named. The bill was killed at the re-
quest Of the federal administration
lest there be complications with ia
pan.
At the same session a bill was in
troduced limiting the age Of admis-
sion to the lower grades OF the pub
lie schools, the association OF little
girls with grown Japanese youths
having been found Objectionable. The
bill was killed at the request Of the
federal administration lest there be

At tho same session q measure

was killed at the instance Of the fed

4 TRIANGLE OF SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS

Japan's demand upon tho federal
government for an adjustment Of al
legged discrimination against Jap
ansss in California IL not q small
matter by any means and has the
seed Of serious complications In It.
The situation II not well understood
outside Of the state and communities
affected BY the Jap invasion Of the
Agricultural and horticultural dis
tricts Of California. There 1t is con-
ceded to mean the conquest Of the
fruit ana truck industry and the
banishmsnt Of white owners and
white labor from those districts and
from those occupations. AS the Japs
swarm In the white residents must
move out Japanese orchard and
truck farms Jap managed under q
cooperative system where men and
women and children all work Is ana
IL hours q day create an economic
pressure that white men can not
stand. The white parent must send
his children to school at 6. distance
into q town or suffer his growing
girls to be surrounded by Japanese
youths with the Jap codes of morali-
ty and decency. In Placer county 1t
10 stated that 80 per cent of the
orchards are leased to Japs and that
the school reports show Japanese
to one child. Similar displacements
of white population are found thru
the San Joaquin. about Sacramento
and other districts.
When these facts are known It be-
comes much easier to understand
the present and proposed legislation
Of California against the Japanese
flood.
In 1919 California passed, over the
protest OF the federal administration
an alien land law. The act forbade
selling or leasing for more than three
years Of land to any person not elig-
ible for American citizenship. Some
good resulted, but recently the Jap
:anese have evaded the provisions Of
the act by placing title to land in
the names OF Japanese babies born
in Clifornia, and by organizing cor
porations with dummy directors and
purchasing land in the name of the
corporations. The secretary Of state
reports seventy two such corpora
