PRESIDENT TAFT MAY
PARDON BURNS VICTIM
Washington, D. C., Feb. 17._
11 appears that the proposal for
the pardon of F. A. Hyde, convict
ed in the Oregon land fraud cases
along with Benson and others, has
been under consideration by
President Taft for some months.
Hyde’s friends--who are not
friendly in any wise to Francis J.
Honey, the prosecutor in the case
—have been bringing strong pres
sure upon the president to save
Hyde from actually serving the
prison sentence from which he
has appealed. The president has
left the inquiry upon this case to
[Attorney General Wic.kersham and
the latter has gone into it at. some
length. Although the report made
to him by the trial judge has been
adverse, Wiekersham has shown
a disposition personally to hear
the claims of the friends of the
convicted man, who have come
from the Pacific coast for that
purpose.

The officials of Ibe railroads
object In the InlliT method, as
they claim il places loo much re

They assert that tbe man appoint
ed by Mn* railroad would favor
Ibe railroad,and the one appointed
by the union would give the fire

| sequence I be third man would
have Ibe entire responsibility. The

seventh member to lie selected by
the six who have1 been appointed.
This method was used last year
when the engineers demanded an
increase in wages and the result
of the investigation of the board
(of arbitration was a victory for
the railroads, as the board re
ported the engineers were well
