Governor Sayers Grants a Pardon to the Man Who Was Once Convicted of a Crime. e Special Dispatch to The Call. AUSTIN, Tex. April 14.—Arch Arnold Las been released from the State Peni- tentiary on a full pardon granted him by | Governor Sayers. The man who has been thus given his liberty was a fugitive from | justice for over a quarter of a century. He returned to Tcxas and voluntarily surrendered to the prison authorities of the penitentiary on December 30, 1900, and | asked that he might be permitted to serve the remainder or the sentence that had | been hanging over uim for so many vears. | He was again placed In the prison and | has just been pardoned at the earnest | solicitation of his old friends in the State | who were familiar with the remarkable case. | In 1873 two men were murdered in Lam- | pasas County, Texas, near the Coryell | County line. Onme of the murdered men | was named Littlefie'd and the other was named Fetner. Jim Arnold and his three sons, who resided in Coryell County, were accused of the crime. The two elder sons, William and Allen, were charged with having directly committed.the deed, and their father and his then fifteen-year-old son Arch were charged with being ac- cessories. They all fled the country be- | fore they could be arrested. Two years later old man Arnold and his son Arch re- turned to Coryell County. They were ar- rested and tried for murder. The old man was convicted and sentenced to a term of ninety-nine years the State peniten- tiary. The case was appealed and r versed by the highei court and a change of venue was taken from Lampasas | County to Burnet (‘ounty, where an ac- | quittal was secured on the second trial of | the case against him. | _Arch Arnold, his son, was tried, con- | victed and given a sentence of five years | in the penitentiary. After serving two | vears of the sentence hc escaped from prison and was no: heard of afterward until he put in an appearance at the State penitentiary a few months ago and asked to be allowed to serve out the remainder of the interrupted sentence. After escaping [rom the penitentiary over twenty-fi years ago, the young man went where he secured employment. He worked honestly -and | faithfully and saved enough money to buy | for himself a fruit farm. He married and has a family of children almost grown. He and his family have the respect of the people of community in which they reside. During all these years Ar- nold kept the fact of the shadow that wa hanging over him in Texas from his family and it was not until he had raised his children and Accumulated a sufficient amount of this world s goods to keep him and his devoted wife and children from want during the remainder of their days on earth that he revealed the secret of | his life to them and informed them that | he was going back (c Texas to serve out | his sentence in prison in order that he | might live the remainder of his days with- | ! out the fear of arrest. Immediately after securing his liberty the pardoned man de- parted for his California home. GOVERNORS NAME TAXATION CONFERENCE DELEGATES Leading Economists, Tax Experts and Public Men Sign the Call. CHICAGO, April 14.—The Governors of | the various States are beginning to an- nounce their appointments of delegates to | attend the conference of taxation, called | to meet at Buffalo, May 23 and 2¢ by the | National Civic Federation. At the head- | | quarters notice of the appointment of the | | delegation has been received from the | Governors of Missouri, Maine and Mon- | tana. The call for the conference is signed by the leading econcmists, tax experts | and_public men representing all portions of the country and ali interests. The let- ter of invitation says: For many decades the States have been building up independent systems of taxation without reference to each other until now we | have a state of affairs bordering on chaos where each State is practically fighting nearly | every other State. Some property is taxed three or four times, while other property is not taxed at all Corporate activity largely changed the character of individual | investments. ~ Industry has overstepped the | boundaries of any one State, and commercial | interests are no longer confined to mere local | imits. This conference will be the first at- tempt in this country to work out some uni- | form principles. any of the problems in the two days' dis | cussion, but it will be a beginning and may | result in the appointment of a permanent committee to work out some basis for future action. RIPLEY m_Tmy | IN HIS OWN BEHALF Will Be the First Witness To-Day 1n | the Goebel Conspiracy Case. ANKFORT, Ky. arnet D. Ripley, as an alleged con- spirator in the murder of Governor Goe- bel, will be resumed to-morrow. The de- fendant will be the first witness for the | defense. Ex-Governor Bradley and Judge Yost could not be seen to-d but it is known that they have reaffirmed their | statements, and they say that Ripley did | not accompany his remarks with any such explanations as Attorney Oneal gave vesterday in outlining the case for the de- | fense. There is a report that both Brad- ley and_Yost in their testimony before the Grand Jury told much more than they did on the stand last week. The prosecution asked them questions bearing on only the one point, and the defense did not cross-examine them. [ | SUSPECTED ASSATLANT ‘ OF WOMEN IS RELEASED | Albert Cowan, Dismissed on Charga of Murder, Is Adjudged Not ; Insane. | DENVER, April 14.—Albert L. Cowan, | who was arrested on February 25 last on a charge of murder, which was subse- quently dismissed for lack of sufficient ev- idence to justify his indictment, has been released from custody, a jury before which he was tried on a charge of insah- y having decided that he *is not so dis- racted in his mind as to endanger his own life and property or the lives and property of others.” It was believed for & | ime that Cowan was the thug who | knocked down many women on Capitol { Hill during the fall and winter. Several of the assailant’s victims died from their injuries. There have been no assaults of this nature in the city since the night of February 22, when three women ' were struck down, two of whom received fatal | injuries.

Last night the Cali- fornia Theater was crowded to the doors, and the orchestra moved out to make way for the audience that came to greet Neil Burgess in his famous part of the shrewd and kindly New England spinster, Miss Abigail Prue. His work has lost none of its quaint flavor since his last visit here, seven years ago, with the same play. The lovable Miss Abby, with her sound “hoss’ sense, good heart, fine simplicity, full of quaint saws and kindly wisdom, is just as Mr. Burgess drew her seven years ago, and a person with whom one_is glad to renew acquaintance. John C. Fenton, who as Otis Tucker is four- teen years in learning to “‘speak for him- self, John,” takes excellent care of the shy’ waoer's part, and Nicholas Sebastian is u fairly effective villaln as Solon Ham- merhead.

On Friday evening next some of the prominent jockeys of Tanforan will | ride the horses in the race scene. . Blanche Walsh's engagement at the Co- | lumbia Theater continues throughout ‘this veek. Her performance of Josephine in More Than Queen” is a splendid work and the staging of the play is all that could be desired. The last performance will take place next Sunday night. Next week and the following week also the Co- lumbia will be dark, this being a result of the cancellation of James K. Hackett's tour, owing to that actor’s illness. o e This week at the Central Theater will be seen the rarely produced ‘Julius { Caesar,” with Robert Downing as Marc Antony. Mason Mitchell, a clever legiti- mate actor, has been engaged to play the part of Cassius, and Brutus will be taken by Robert Cummings. The large company at the Central will also be fur- ther augmented for the production, and the management has put forth an extra- ordinary effort in the mounting of the tragedy. The play will doubtless call out large "audiences, as the opportunity of | hearing is so seldom afforded. Among those who have signified their intention of being present are President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California, President David Starr Jor- dan_of Stanford University, General W. R. Shafter, Rev. D. D. Crowley, and Hon. | R. H. Webster, Superintendent of Schools, | who all unite in warmly commending the ‘polk‘!' of the Central in producing plays | of so high a standard. This Is the closing | week of Mr. Downing's engagement. To-night at the Grand Opera House the new stock company will present as their initial offering the ever-popular “East Lynne.” Florence Stone, the new leading lady, will make her first appearance here as Lady 1Isabel, Madame Vine and the new leading man, John Webster Jr.. who will be remembered as Stuart Robson's leading support in “The Jucklin: will appear as Archibald Carlyle. o e The Alcazar offering this week is a farce of the fast and furious kind, by name “Oh!

AR WASHINGTON, April 14—Having re- peatedly failed to secure remedial legisla- tion from Congress to prevent abuses of the privilege of second-class mail matter, the Postoffice Department officials have | under consideration the adoption of a pro- posed rule, by authority of the Postmas- | ter General, to bring about the desired reforms. With this object in view Edwin >. Madden, Third Assistant Postmaster General, has addressed a long circular let- ter to about 400 publishers of newspapers and periodicals setting forth the objects sought to be accomplished by the pro- posed rule and asking the following ques- | tions: In the judgment of those addressed will a | gepartmental rule be regarded as injurious to | legitimate papers and periodicals which will | stop absolutely all premium inducements, di- rect or indirect and of whatever character, for | subscriptions? In other words, after a pub- | lisher has fixed a price on his publication any | bonus or premium given to the subscriber or any combination with anything except a sec- ond class publication shall vitiate that sub- | scription in its relation to the second-class i rates of postage. Mr. Madden adds: It 1s belleved that such a rule as that pro- posed would be of great benefit to legitimate journalism, and ‘that in a very large measure it will check this draft upon the public treas- ury for private advantage with no compensa- tion or public benefit, through the elimination of an immense number of publications which are wholly sustained in their second-class ftatus by patronage induced by some ex- traneous thing in conflict with the spirit of the law. Such a consummation has much of promise In the direction of better postal facili- | tiee “ana cheaper rates for other classes ot | mail matter. The circular asserts that the loss of revenue to the Government from the abuses of the privileges of second-class | matter is enormous, being estimated con- | servatively to be between $15,000,000 and $25,000,000 a vear. Exisung regulations, | however, fafthfully administered are in- adequate to accomplish immediate re- forms, and the most prolific means by iwhlch the law is circumvented remains | undisturbed by regulation. Of the many means by which publica- | tions not properly entitled to this favored postage rate spring into existence and | thrive, no other, it is asserted by Mr. Madden, is so fruitful and so Insidious as the permission—not of law or rule, but of | uninterrupted practice—that subscriptions | may be obtained by offers of premiums or | merchandise, chances to draw prizes in guessing contests and countless ingenious inventions of similar character. Circula- | tions running into the thousands and into | the millions, the circular says, have been { built up by this premium process for pub- | lications which, upon actual merit, could Sue Seymour is a rather stift Sallie” | command no public patronage whatever. | Such “subscriptions,” except in an occa- sional instance where some actually mer- itorious publication employs the plan, rep- resent in no literal sense a public interest in the literature or in the news to which it is claimed such publications are de- voted. Mr. Madden asks that the matter be given prompt attention, and says that the reform proposed can scarcely ‘be carried on successfully without the aid and moral support of the standard newspapers and perfodicals of the country.

CHURCH EDIFICE HIS MONUMENT Aged Father Hannan Wit- nesses the Fruition of His Labors. —_— TOLEDO, Ohio, April 14—Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, assisted by Bishop Horstmann of Cleveland, Bishop Foley of Detroit and about 200 prominent Catholic clergymen from all parts of the United States, to-day dedicated St. Patrick’s Church, said to be one of the most hand- some church building in the country. The church will stand as a monument to Father Hannan, who, though 75 years of age, did the architectural work and super- intended the entire construction. The church cost $200,000. Archbishop Ireland spoke from the text “Jesus Christ, the same to-day, vesterday and forever the same.” His sermon was a defense of Christianity. In conclusion he sald: Thérefore, let us bulld him Christian tem- les. Let us invite men into the sanctuaries. t us carry heaven's Inspiration into mart and workshop and foundry. We must have forges and factories and industries, but these have no moral health of themselves. Colleges, schools and libraries will help us to know, but this is not all.

LD ARMY RULES UNDERGO CHANGE Regulation Book Altered to N Meet Difference in Na- tion’s Condition. e WASHINGTON, April 14—Secretary Root has approved the report of a re- vision and codification of the army reg- ulations prepared by a commission con- sisting of Assistant Secretary of War Sanger, Lieutenant Colonel Davis of the judge advocate general's department and Lieutenant Colonel Johnson of the ad- jutant general's department. This re- vision and codification was necessary on account of the many changes that have been made In the army regulations by law and general orders since the last book of regulations was printed, also by the changes of the conditions in the United States. One of the regulations, drawn in times when troops were statigned upon the frontier of the United States, allowed the commanding officer of a post or camp to issue arms and ammunition to settlers for the purpose of self-protection against the Indians. This was not made specific and as the frontier of the United States has practi- cally disappeared the order could now be interpreted to allow the issuance of arms to people in the Philippines, Porto Rico, Cuba or Alaska. It was thought neces- sary to rescind this regulation. The change from a regimental to com- pany organization of the artillery also has necessitated many changes. Some minor changes also were made regarding payments of m;a‘:’?s and also regarding the transport service, as transports were not a part of the army establishment when the old lations were drawn up. It is intended to have these new regula- tions printed at once and placed in the hands of all the army officers appointed and to be appointed under the reorganiza- on law.

ESBARRE, Pa., April M4.—A meeting of the representatives of train- men and telegraphers employed on the northern division of the Central Railroad of New Jersey was held at Ashley to- | night. It is rumored that much dissatis- faction was expressed over the terms of settlement of the threatened strike by the conference in New York. The brakemen and telegraphers feel that their interests have been sacrificed for the benefit of some other employes—the engi- neers in particular. Unless the_telegra- phers recelve some concessions from the railroad officials this week the leaders say there will be a strike, in which, they say, they will be joined by the brakemen. The trainmen and operators will take an- other vote on the situation. Von Bulow Back From Italy.

A large and enthusiastic concourse awaited his arrival. Subsequently the Emperor re- | ceived the Crown Prince in private aud- | fence and later returned his visit. During the afternoon and amid popular demonstrations of the most friendly char- acter, the Crown Prince drove to the | Capuchin masoleum, where, on behalf of | Emperor Willlam, he deposited wreaths on the tombs of Empress Elizabeth, Crown Prince Rudolph and Archduke Al- brecht. At 5 o'clock a state banquet was given in his honor at the Hofburg, attended by ’!he members of the imperial house, the ministers and the members of the diplo- | matic corps. A receptien followed and | then ail attended a gala performance at | the opera. | At to-day’s banquet the Emperor in pro- | posing a toast to the Crown Prince said | he hoped the wisit would Kpnit still closer the personal and political relations of the two imperial houses. The Crown Prince made a suitable acknowledgment. Crown Prince Frederick Wiiliam recent- ly furnished a selection for the violin of his own composition, which in the opinion of experts shows considerable merit While at the University of Bonn he will continue his stady of the vielin. Emperor Francis Joseph has fulfilled a long cherished desire of the Czech popu- lation of Bohemia by ordering the estab- lishment at Prague of a modern art gal- | lery. toward the foundation of which he | has himself donated 2,000,000 crowns.

LONDON, April 15.—The Dally Mafl | publishes an interview to-day with Fred- | ertck Harrison, president of the London | Positivist Committee, regarding his recent visit to the United States, in which he repeats in part his interview on Thursday last with a representative of the press. | _“I am deeply impressed.” said Mr. Har- rison to the Daily Malil_representative, “by my American trip.
