ORSON DODGE PLEADS
GUILTY OF MURDER
Committed in Bayfield, County
Ten Years Ago. Caught by
Deputy Long at MOhall, N.
Il ID. Last Week.

With an air Of stoiid indifference,
Orson Dodge heard Judge Risjord
pronounce his sentence Of life i'm
prisonment at Waupun on the ver-
dict Of guilty of murder in the first
degree.
Dodge, was caught by Under
sheriff Long in Mohall, N. D., after
q ten year exile. Even since he mur-
dered Mrs. Spaulding near Iron River
in 1911, Dodge has been wandering
from place to place, mostly in
Canada, working in the woods, and
spending his money to take him far
ther away from the officials who
were trailing him.
This. morning in Circuit Court,
Dodge showed the evidences Of his
long years of wandering. His
clothing was torn and uncared for.
and he seemed not to care what was
done with him. When asked whether
he would plead guilty, he said he
supposed he would, and relapsed In
to silence which was not broken even
when he heard that his life sentence
would begin at moor today. He was
taken to Waupua this week.
& According to the testimony
brought out at the trial, Dodge and
Mrs. Spanlding qusrrelled over Ave
dollars. which he had given her.
After she refused to marry him. he
denlaaded his five dollars back. She
rek1k6d, and went to town. purchas-
ed i revolver, hid in the woods and
killed her when she drove past.
Dodge is forty-eight years old, and
has no known relatives. His original
home was in Michigan.

ALL EUROPE
 PLANS TO USE
 WATER POWER

Plans are now laid in virtually all European countries to harness their water power so as to produce cleo tricity,'' said Dr. Frank B. Jewett, chief engineer of the Western Elec- tric Company yesterday. 'In Switz- erland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Den mark and even England detailed water power for the identification of railroads, is under discussion
 Dr. Jewett has just returned from a three months thirp abroad. during which he visited most of the countries of Europe.
 'In those countries where there is a scarcity of coal. hydro-electrical development is of vital importance. tricai development is being consider ed, the absence of any considerable water powers and the relative abund- ance of coal gives this problem a Continental Europe" said the noted engineer. While the Contiental pro- jects contemplate the development and linking together of hydro-elec- trical plants. it is probable that in England the development will be along the lines of establishing enor- nous generating stations at or near the mine mouths and linking these stations together and to main line distribution systems for supplying the current wherever needd over England, Scotland and Wales. As on the Continent, the scheme under con temptation in England involves eX- tensive electr ification of trunk line railroads.
 "In the Scandinavian countries, the fuel situation makes substitute dor power derived from coal a matter of economic life and death. There is talk of combining the natural re- sources of Norway. Sweden and Den mark. The current could be distri- buted where it was needed. Norway has enormous natural water re- sources, Sweden not so much, and Denmark very little. The current would have to be carried by subma- rine cable in many cases, and this fact presents some interesting en- gineering difficulties. However. Co., penhagen utilities are now being run to a considerable extent by Swedish power brought over from ElSinore by submarine cable
 tsThe immediate difficulty in carry ing out these extensive devslopments that is holding them back They hes itate to borrow 50 per cent. money, which they will later have to pay probable, therefore, that little will be done utnil the currency has recover ed somewhat from the present de- preciation.''
 tories of the Bell Telephone System is of course one of Americas greatest telephone engineers. He was asked, therefore, how much the telephone systems of Europe have recovered from the events of the past few years.
 '.I found a bigger recovery than I had anticipated" he replied -'The amount of money spent in extending plants has been considerable. I found the engineers interested in machine switching, which is being introduced in the United States now, and especi- ally, in better international com munication lines.
 '"The European telephone experts are beginning to realize the necessity for following the practice in the United States of standardiIng on equipment There is considerable ac- tivity in this respect They are also beginning to substitute long distance that we have done fn the United States for a long time
