tence to death for the murder a
year ago of Richard Giles in
Phoenix, Ariz., suffered nervous
breakdown in prison here today
and was given medical attention.
His condition was described as
serious.
Despairing of a mercy appeal
he has filed before the Arizona
board of pardonS and which alone
separates him from death in the
gas chamber. he has eaten little
for several weeks, prison guards
said, and has told visitors he pre-,
fers to die naturally rather than
climb the Is steps to the death
room.
Cochrane, a resident of New
York city, was decorated by
Nicaragua for his heroism under
fire in offensives against the
rebel, SANDING. He was found
guilty of numbering Giles after
he had attempted to rob him of
gambling winnings which he
thought totaled several thousand
dollars but which amounted only
to SPAS.

WESTERN INDEX
BEST SINCE 81

Far Western business, as re-
Elected by the Bank of America
October index, reached the highest
level since July, 1881.
The banks preliminary index
registered 1873, more than 13 per
cent above the level reached a
year ago and nearly II per cent
higher than the corresponding
month five years ago.
Other indices Frightening the
business map of the Far West are
the monthly dollar volume of bank
debts, which registered more than
19-per-cent gain over October,
1885; building and construction
permits, which recorded an eSti-
mated gain of ia per cent over
the corresponding month last year,
and carloadings, which were esti-
mated to be 20 per cent higher
than october a year ago.
A total of 364,350 new passenger
automobiles were sold in the IL
Far Western States during the
first nine months of 1886, the
banks current business review re-
ports. This is an increase of 36.4
per cent over the same period last
year and 274.4 per cent gain over
sales in the first nine months of
1882 Total passenger car sales in
the II Western States in the nine
months of 1886 were even higher
than sales in the entire IL months
of each year from 1880 to 1885,
inclusive, it is added.

New Deal Spendings
Seen Approved

The principle which has domi-
mated all others in the Roosevelt
Administration has been that
of fostering business recovery
through huge outlay of Federal
funds, and it is this program for
which the electorate voiced over
whelming approval in the 1886
election, according to the Stand
ard Statistics Company.
In view of the huge Democratic
majorities established in both
houses of Congress, the President
is assured of obtaining in 1887
virtually any tax and appropria-
ton measures he may request, the
report said adding:
Briefly summarized, our sur
vey of prospective tax and
spending policies leads to the
following specific conclusions:
"RevisiOns of Federal tax
measures for 1897 will not in
vOlve major changes in rates.
The most important prospective
revision of present tax procedure
will be the expected mOdifica-
tiOn of the Surtax in undis-
tributed corporation earnings to
ameliOrate the burden now
placed on many smaller COM
panieS.
