HINDU MILLHANDS
BEING DISCHARGED
Vancouver, H. Jail. 13.—
Drastic steps ha\ (* teen taken by
the management .>r the Small-|
Bucklin l umber mb's, at New
Westminster, B. C., arising out of
recent perjury cases. Owing to
disclosures that were made then
to the effect that Hindus had been
in the habit of paying foremen on
jobs and other officials bribes to
retain their positions, the owners
of the mills have decided to dis
miss almost 100 Hindus and to re
place them with white labor. The
shacks that the Hindus resided in
were burned to the ground today
by the company.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13—The Rev.
Dr. Alfred G. Mortmer, who sud
denly resigned last week as rector
of St. Mark’s Protestant Epsco

"Thafs a li — I of a sentence. I'd
rather lid hanged .than to go to
l.he.peii for that length of lime,”
said (Isaac Krunienacher,, after
Judge M. R. Stephens.had senten
ced him to spend the next 18 years
in the Western penitentiary for
I lie murder of Michael Rrtidley in
Lilly Iasi May.
Krunienacher was put on trial
last week. When he was asked
how he pleaded lo the charge of
murder he declared he was guilty.
His attorney pleaded “not guilty”
for him, and Krunienacher or- j
tiered John H. McCann, the law
yer, out of the case. The court
refused lo accept his plea of god
ly and made him stand trial.
Kxperls were called lo prove j
that lie was insane at the lime of
the murder. Kruinenacher’s
mother testified to the same thing.
This so angered the slayer that
when his mother went,lo the jail
to say good-bye to him he re
fused lo talk to her. Krunienacher
