OVER EXECUTION EOITH WALL
London, Oct. 22—The execution
cf Edith Caveull, au English trained
nurse, in Belgium by order of the
Kaiser, has called forth a protest
from the whole civilized world

Whitlock, the famous author, maga
sine and newspaper writer, whose
home is in Toledo, Ohio, and many
other prominent poop!© made per
sonal appeals to the Kaiser for a
reversal of the sentence of daith,
but all in vain. In reply to a pro
test from King Alphonse of Spain
tho Kaiser reminded that monarch
that he had pardoned the Countess
Thuller und other women con
detuned to death in Belgium for
aiding prisoners to escape from |
the Germans, and however painful,
the duty it had now become a mili
tary necessity to take drastic meas- j
ures for the prevention of like oc- i
curreuces in the future.
Amsterdam, Oct. 22— Newspape.s j
throughout the entire country are
crying shame upon the Kaiser for,

the German spies who caused her j
arrest beinjr that she had tried to
aid wounded prisoners to escape
from Erussels after its occupation b
the Germans.

BEFORE OBIIISH COLUMBIA OOOOI
Fred T. Congdon, K. C., of Daw
sou, former commissioner of Yu
kon territory, and J. 1'. Smith, crown
prosecutor for Yukon territory, wore
outgoing passengers on tho Princess
?ophia last night. Of their missions
to .the outside, the Dawson News
nf the 12th inst., says:
"Several big Yukon law cases are
to be heard outside this winter on
appeal, and Dawson legal talent
will be well represented in the ap
peal ccurt.
"F. T. Congdon, K. C.. and J. P.
?mith, Yukon's crown prosecutor,
ivho left today on the Casta, will
appear in the big ca^ea, and some
of the other Dawson lawyors niay
nUo be present. One case of par
ticular interest which is to be ar
jued on appeal is that of the Yu
kon Gold company against the Boyle
Concessions, Limited, in respect to
Lhe boundaries of adjoining placer
:laira3 of the litigants situated near
Dgilvie bridge, near tho confluence
of the Klondike river and Bonanza
:reek. Claim 105 and the Boyle
properties have been a subject of
legal battle for somo time. The

Washington, D. C., Oct 22—A

Uas been .ordered to Harlingen,
Texas, as a. result of the recent
Mexican bandit raids in that sec
tion of country.
The state detriment has re
ceived advices from Great Brit
ain that she is prepared to P&J"
tor all the cotton shipments be
longing to citizens of this country

New Orleans, 'Oct. 22 — The
agency that has been maintained
here in the interests of General
Villa, the Mexican revolutionary
leader, was closed to-day.
Cougdou aud J. B. Pattullo aro
counsel for tha plaintiff-respondents,
and C. W. C. Tabor and E. I*. Davis
of Vancouver for the defendant-ap
pellants.
"Mr. Smith will prosecute the
case against Gagoff, to be tried at
j Whltehorse for murder, before pro
ceding south, lie will remain out
several weeks. Air. Cougdou also
i will go to Ottawa, where ho will
appear ia the exchequer court in
itae case of the king against Alur
phy &. Gould, a proceeding by the
j crown to cancel the water grant on
the ground of dispute between vari- I
cus applicants, the matter having
been heard and determined by the
gold commissioner and not by the
mining recorder. The point for de
cision is interesting because every
dispute of the kind in the Yukon ter
ritory regarding water was lieard in
the same way up to three years
ago. The grant was issued in 1S99. j
"Mr. Congdon will spend part, if I
not most, of the winter in Toronto

AT WHITEHORSE WEDNESDAY
(Scecial correspondence)
A Whiteliorse correspondent of
tho Skagway Daily Alaskan, in
epeakin^ of the trial and Bentence
to death of Alex Gagoff, the Rus
sian quadruple murderer, which, too
place there on Wednesday after
noon last, says:
"This afternoon I attended court
and heard the hist of the witnesses
and Ihe sentence pronounced by
the judge in the Gagoff murder
trial. It was very impressive. The
court room was packed and many
ladies wore present. When the judge
asked the prisoner to stand up, you
might have heard a pin drojj, the
silence was so intense. Asked if
he had anything to say why sen
tence of death should not bo passed
;on him, the prisoner entered Into a
long conversation wth the two Rus
sian interpreters, and it wa& some
time before he could bo made to
understand that it was the court
of last appeal and that anything
further woulcf have to be don© by
the Governor General in Council,
lie was finally made to understand,
however, but said he liad nothing
to say. The judge then passed
sentence, after going over the case,
and 6et the date of execution for
Friday, March 10th, 1916.
"In a letter the prisoner wrote
Frank Leslie two days ago he said
he was satisfied to die but thought
lie should be shot. He asked, after
being ssentenced, that he be tak
en to Vancouver and there Bhot aa
he would like that beetter than
being put to death in Whitehorse."
