DIFFICULT PROBLEM. “Justice tempered with mercy for life termers is another subject to which the committee has given'much consideration. T cannot say that any- thing definite has been determined in this regrd as yet. but:it has by no means been overlooked. It is a dif- flcult ‘matter to” handle proverly. Life senterices are for serious crimes only. The individual life termer, particu- larly in cases of homicide, is frequent- Iy of clean character, ‘who in the com- migsion of the crime which made him a convict was actuated under' some motive of hate or revenge or heat of passion and possibly, in some cases, after extreme provocation, but not from instinct Of'plunder.

If the people desire that prisoners be probated or.released they should, through their Legislature, ¢o provide. It is my hope that what I have said upon the subjéct may n- augurate a discussion of the question all over the State, for the committee courts expressions of opinion from all persons whoé may have any .sensibie suggestions to offer. “Such matters as the proper pun- ishments to be inflicted in the prisons, straitjacket, the last, | vor no namb the dungeon. bread and water diet and othér kindred maiters, will be report- ed upon by the committee, but 1w have not' decided what our - recom- | mendations will be.

CHEMAW, 0".. Aug. 20.—The ro- mantic marriage of Superintendent Thomas . Potter and Mary J. Smith, a vupil at the Chemaw Tndian School, has just been announced here. The wedding took nlace Thursday at Red- ding, Cal., in the presence of the bride's mother, gtepfather, brother and siste, The bride is a beautiful young woman, still in her teens, of a pleasant disposi- tion, and has been very active in the Christian societies of the schooi. She i§.a quarter-blood Digger and has besn for a number of years a student at tha school from which her husband has recently resigned as superintendent. The announcement of the wedding has caused a big stir in the school, as there had been no knowledge among the stu- dents or teachers of the romance going 6n in their midst. Superintendent Potter is well and fa- vorably known in the Indian service as a succesful teacher of Indian youth. He began his work in Indian Territory about' eighteen years ago. He taught at the Carlisle, Pa., school and was.then promoted to a superintendency. In the latter capacity he served at Fort Tot- ten, N. D., and Cherokee, N. C. His first wife was the daughter of a pow- erful Cherokee chief and famed as a beauty. The groom is about 50 years of age. Potter recently resigned at Chemaw after an investigation of his affairs by the department that showed them in good condition. The wedding party left Thursday for San Francisco. alf toyday.
