American authorities to forward the
depositions of the victimized laborers.

ORCHARD WILL NOT BE HANGED
(By United Press.)
Boise, Idaho, March 19. ? Judire Wood
yesterday sentonced Harry Orchard to
death. The dato named for the execu
tion was May 16.
With the sentence, howerer, there
poes a recommendation to the board of
p irdons askin? that the sentence be
commuted to life imprisonment. The
r commendation is b sert on the ex
pressed belief that Orchard was tacitly,
if not d i rue I. v, promised immunity in
c se he would confers. Judt'o Wood
I
adds that he believes those ? responsible
?back of Orchard? for the murder of
Governor Steunenburg will yet 08
brought to justice
The recommendation of the court to
the board of pardons is accepted as be
ing a practical sentence to life impris
onment, as the board is not likely to
overrule the court. This is a only
means ly which such modification cf
the death sentence could be reached, a*
the law provide* tile death penalty as
ollowing upon conviction of the first
degree.

GALE II CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
(By United Press.)
Washington, ar. 19.? Thomas Cale
announces, exclusively through the
United Pms, this morning, that be ia
not only willing, but Is anxious to re
turn to Washington for a second term
us Alaska's delegate. It is his desire,
however, to first learn the wishes of
the people of Alaska with this regard.
!Ie says that he is unaware of any op
position to him? Opposition that he con
siders formidable as against his re
jection. He trusts there will be none.
He gays he is not inclined to put up a
fight if there is any real feeling against
his being returned to where, he says, he
believes be could do better work than
before, aluce ho has made acquaintance*
and learned the routine and methods of
legislation.
He makes denial of the truth of ths
story published a few days ago that ha
Introduced a bill for an appropriation
of 1200,000 for a public building at Ju
neuu. Ho eays Alaska is now too
sparsely settled and the conters of pop*
ulation too uncertain to warrant such
expenditure. He says all the cities
and the geography of the district and
the trond of new population are to be
considered in legislation of this char
acter.
