II 254 SEPTEMBER MORNING, s After serving In the Oregon state prison since November 19, 1914, on a life sentence for murder In the first degree, John Arthur Pender waa released Septem7 her 11, and declared by Governor B, W. Olcott to be innocent of the crime for which ha was convicted. The case has been a notable one in Utah as well as Oregon history, on account of the energetic fight put up In the boys behalf by hla father, James F, Pender, who for more than twenty years 'was connected with the Ogden police department, most or the time as captain of defectives. John A. Pender had gone to Oregon to take up land,, and was known to have become Involved with a neighboring family named Weinman In a dispute over title. One morning Mrs, Wehrman and her child were found brutally murdered. Tho circumstances surrounding the crime caused great Indignation. On account of the- previous disputes, suspicion fell on Pender, and he wae arrested. Then followed a strenuous legal battle. In which Captain Pender waa able to 1 Ht the aid of some of the beet detective agencies in the pountry, but to no effect. Hie son was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. This sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by Governor West of Oregon, and now Governor Olcott grants him unconditional pardon, declaring he believes the man innocent and has believed him Innocent for a long time, following a searching investigation into all the details of the case. ' Governor Olcott pardoned Pender at the same time he pardoned William Branson, also , serving a life term for murder in Oregon. r Reference Is made by Governor Olcott In a statement containing the 'pardons to the fact that a man named Blerka, now an Inmate of the Oregon state mental hospital, as a homicidal patient, had confessed to the crime for which, Pender was serving sentence. At the time of thst confession. Governor Wtthycombe Is paid to hava expressed himself as convinced of Penders innocence. Last November, said Governor Olcott, "my mind had become definitely made up that I would unconditionally pardon both John A. Pender and William Branson. By a strange Coincidence, on the night of November S3, the time when but a few days would have elapsed before I intended to issue pardons for both of these men, the horribly atrocious Claremont tavern murders were committed near Portland, In which two of the most prominent men in eastern Oregon lost their lives st the hands of bandits and The public mind, became highwaymen. highly inflamed. For many months It continued so, and resulted In the restoration of capital punishment In this state. I saw at the time of these murders that for the benefit of the prison system, for the benefit of Pender and ' Branson themselves,. and for the benefit of everyone concerned. It would be a sorry mistake to grant them executive clemency at that time, I deemed it better that these two men should make vicarious sacrifices for a time for tha benefit of the large number of men Involved. Governor Oloott classes himself as being ultra conservative In the exercise of executive clemency. "I hold rather ideas, he states, and he refers to some of the conditions he has thrown around applications for clemency which make It necessary for ths convicted man to put up a strong case before being granted even a bearing. He forwarded a copy of his statement to Governor Bamberger of Utah; with the explanation that Utah men had Interacted themselves very keenly In the ossa He added that Pender bad been welcomed to the home of his mother In Portland after being pardoned, and had been given what waa In the nature of an ovation by the cltlsena of that city. Pender woe a trusty for practically hla entire service In the Oregon prison. Hla father died in 1915, about a Tear after leaving publio service In Ogden, Hie mother and other relatives then moved to s Oregon. en-1- Chauffeur Who Left With $SS,000 Sought in Salt, Lake A reward of (1000 la offered by the Anglo It London, Paris National bank of San Francisco for ths arrest of Charles Hayes, (0 years of are, a chauffeur in the employ of .ths Institution, who drove his machine with (66,000 in It away from the bank on September 1.

George has fitted up an automobile truck with a cylindrical Unk, and to operating an Itinerant gasoline store between Lund and Hurricane and George, with the result thst he to cutting heavily Into the revenues received (relghtera along these by the public routes. The publio carriers, Marshall Bt. to Milne George, and Bradshaw Hinton, to Hurricane, have certificates of public convenience and necessity from the public utilities commission of Utah, They complained to that body, and a hearing conducted by Henry H. Blood, member of the commission, revealed s distinct knotty problem, which has a very ' economic side as welL Mr. Petty says he pays cash for the gasoline at Lund, and sells It along the route to Bt. George as demand may arise. No one to Under obligation to patronise him, he says, and he haa at times been "stuck to tho extant that, after hauling gasoline to Ht. George, he had to haul it to some other market He denies that he to operating as a publio carrier or Is subject to the regulation of ths commission. Acoordlng to hla account, he to practically a gasoline peddler. He makes some revenue out of bis return buying Bt. George fruit trip at times by and selling It In Cedar City or elsewhera uu the tame plan. On the other hand, Mr. Milne said that i at times 25 per cent of the revenue of the public carriers, when they had the gasoline "trade, came from hauling gasoline. In seasons like the present, when Washington county to not Importing much from the outside, about 59 per cent of their loads consist of gasoline, Petty hse been celling gasoline to merchants along the route at prices slightly under the price of the Lund price and freight thereon, at rates authorised by the commission. Mr. Blood has the problem to submit to tha commission. as to whether or not the commission can regulate Petty's operations ; or whether. If It can not, the inroads made Into the carriers' operations are so large ae to preclude them from operating the stages at a profit at all In the latter event, the question arises, how much would ths residents of ths .territory served suffer If the public carriers are compelled to quit business? Mr. Blood also conducted hearings at Cedar, Bt. Georgs, Psngultch and Kalina On hit trip he covered 1044 miles by automobile In ten days. Hls family ac companied him on the trip, and they made a side trip to Bryce canyon and also spe a short time in Zion national park, where Mr. Blood Investigated complaints te the effect that the National Park Traribporta-tatio- n Camping company to operating as a public carrier In opposition to established routes from Lund to BL Georgs. the for popula- tion ta relative!) small, as compared with the east, while distance are greater, the burden is doubly heavy. This la true, he cays, not only in Utah, but In other states similarly handicapped. Congress In making past appropriations for cooperative road work stipulated the basis upon which government funds should be used along with state funds, and congress must amend the law before this Injustice to the public land states can be corrected. It will be the bureau of public roads which must lead the movement before congress for new roads appropriations; and, because this bureau Is to tsks the Initiative, Mr. Browning hopes to convince its officials of the justice of hls demands. Utah Braided to Limit.' Secretary D. F. Houston, as head of the department of agriculture, was of the opinion that the western slates should receive more 'liberal allotments then the old lew allowed, foy the reasons stated, but bis successor has not yet taken a position on this Issue, depending to some extent upon the bureau of public roads for hla information and advice. ' Unless there le a change In the basis ef allotment, Mr. Browning .is fearful that Utah will not ba In a position to avail Itself of additional allotments for road work, because, as he points out, the state has now bonded to the limit fixed by state law in order t the full benefits under the existing federal roads set. The limit may be raised In Utah at the November election. In which event Utah would be in a position to further bond itself for road work in cooperation with the federal government. But. even so, Mr. Browning Insists thst the owned lands of Utah and otherprivate! land states are carrying a heavier public burden than similar lands In ths east and middle west, because of the burden they must assume for roads over public and he la hopeful the secretary of lands, agriculture will recognise the facts aa they exist and urge upon congress a new basis of apportionment, of roaA funds to the west. , , Situation Discussed. At the meeting of the state road commission yesterday the question of the cost of raadbulldtng came up, and It waa Is done pointed out to provide more bonds something the states road program will practically be brought to a standstill All the unspent portion of the two bond Issues aggregating (6,000,-00- 0 has been set aside to meet federal aldjn-ojeotnow elthef approved or under way, and extensions of the program, it was said, would be Impossible unless additional funds wars provided. .. , Kould the people of the state; It was pointed out, refuse to increase the state's Indebtedness limit, and there appeared to ths board members to be no certainty thst the proposed constitutional amendment would pass, the state would have no means of raising any large amount of additional funds, end this would mean that. o for os stato aid was concerned. roadbulldtng must practically cease.

The state has not Issue) the (1.000,-00- 0 In bonds authorised by the last legislature, in the hope thst the federal government would undertake, some form of soldier settlement work. A new legislature! might devote this amount to state roadbuilding purposes by repealing the soldier settlement laws. Outside of this amount the amount of bonds that might bs Issued would be trifling. Ths state has no other means of raising revenue for etate roads, the state road tax, hlch - must sxoept be within the county where It It levied.spent Balt Lake and Weber, and possibly one or two other counties, might be able to 'obtain appreciable amounts of federal aid, but In the majority of counties, with small valuations and tong dlstancas, no funds oan be raised from the stats road tax for .more than maintenance of the . present . roads.'' - , , - Major Ladd Assigned to Command of Ft Douglas Major Jesse A.
