Wfi«a mitt Library CHAMPION SWINDLERS Of THE WHOLE WORLD The Humberts on Trial in France for Buncoing Bankers Out of Millions. Paris. Aug. 8. —The trial of the Humberts, the famous swindlers open ed today. The court room was crowd ed with fashionables. Shortly after noon the prisoners were escorted into the court room by guards. Madame Humbert came first, dressed entirely in black, pale but composed. Her ausband followed; then came Romain and Emile Dauringa, brothers of Mrs. Humbert, jauntily arm in arm. All gave their place of residence as Con eiergerie prison. Madame Humbert maintained her previous attitude of bravado and con tinually interrupted the proceedings with protests. During the examina tion she frequently turned and plied the judge wiih questions in an angry tone. She denied all the charges and assuming a dramatic attitude cried: "We are the most honest people in France. We are suffering under false accusations. I never slept in the pri son but always stood clinging to the bars of my cell." She repeatedly as serted that the Crawford millions ex ist and declared that their only error was in losing their heads for a mo ment and fleeing from France. The spectators greeted each declaration w-ith roars of laughter. The crowd wishing to enter was so great that sextuple lines of military guards were ordered. Many prominent people were turned away, including the actor Co quellin. who as he left said it would be the most dramatic scene of recent years. The railways are treating the Hum bert trial as a national holiday and running big excursions at low rates. Public interest is intense, as Mad ame Humbert has promised to pro duce at the trial the Crawford broth ers American millionaires, on whom was based the story of a $20,000,000 inheritance on which she borrowed $10,0(10,000 from Paris bankers. Jersey's Salt Water Day. Setgirt, N. J., Aug. B—This is "salt water day" on the Jersey coast, and the farmers of Ocean and Monmouth counties, who have observed the cus tom for years, began tc arrive in farm wagons with their families soon afier sunrise. They had come for a day's outing and for their annual bath in Old Neptune. Guests from neigh boring summer hotels turned out in large numbers to view the pictur esque scene. The bathing outfits, as usual, worn by the farmers and their families were remarkable for variety and originality. RACING STABLES BURNED. New York, Aug. 8. —Incendiaries at tempted to burn the stables of the Empire tracks at Yonkers early this morning. Thirty valuable horses were rescued with difficulty. GIBBONS IS BETTER. Rome, Aug. 8. —Cardinal Gibbons passed a restless night, but shows some slight improvement LIKE DARIUS 6REEN LANGLEY'S AIR SHIP Wavers and Wobbles and Coming Down Suddenly Sinks in the Sea. Tidewater, Aug. B.—The initial test of Prof. Langley's airship was made this morning. The track on which the launching car ran pointed toward the Maryland shore. At a given signal the car was drawn back 30 feet, by powerful springs and then released propelling the model into space at a velocity of nearly 80 feet a second. After leaving the track the airship sailed on a level with the house tops about 100 yards toward Maryland, when a sharp turn to the right was made. Not over 500 yards in this direction was made be fore the model struck the water and immediately sank. For fully 50 yards before she finally disappeared the model pursued an uneven, wavering course. 1 When this became noticeable to the watching scientists they immedi ately dispatched a tug and smfall boats to the rescue. In order to recover the car when it sank a fine wire had been attached to the model and retained on a house boat. By following this wire they were enabled to raise the machine "with the aid of hooks. When brought to the surface the machine presented a dilapidated appearance. The wings were torn from the body, the fine steel framework was badly bent and the engine was out of place and badly indented. The propeller and steering gear suffered the smallest injury. The model was hauled aboard and was not returned to the house boat. Prof. Langley's assistant who was mainly in charge of the experi ment was greatly chagrined at the failure and declined to make any statement. Uangley was not present. WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON, THE EVENING STATESMAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1903. MAJOR GENERAL YOUNG SUCCEEDS GENERAL MILES And Will Have the Rank of Lieutenant General for One Week When He Will Become Head of The General Staff Under the New Law. Washington, D. C. Aug.—Although Americans who started in life as day laborers have become president of the great republic, no man wiio should ered a musket as a common soldier has ever attained to the position of commander of the army of the United States until today. Major General Samuel Baldwin Marks Young, who today succeeede to the command of the army on the statutatory retire ment of Lieutentant General Miles, began his career as an enlisted man in the Twelfth Pennsylvania infantry. All of his twenty-one predecessors as commander of the army began their military careers as commissioned of ficers. It has been stated frequently that the chief objection to General Miles on the part of his brother offi cers was due to the fact that he was not a West Point man. The same cause for complaint is to be found in the case of the new commanding Major-General Young, who become 3 Chief of Staff of the United States army, today. General William H. Carter, who with Major-General Henry C. Corbin, will constitute the general staff is also shown. He is said to have the enviable distinction of having more enemies than any other of ficer in the American army, because of his close relations of the Secreta ry of War, Elihu Root. general. General Young is the third man who has come from civil life, as distinguished from those who have gone through the academy, to attain the command of the army. The first, after it became possible to appoint a West Point graduate to achieve that position was General Winfleld Scott, who became commander in 1841, thir ty-nine years after the establishment of the academy. He entered the army from civil life as a captain of artillery. Since Scott all the commanders of the army except Miles have been West Pointers. But the new commanding general is a soldier from the ground up, without any fuss or feathers. He is not a medal of honor man, but one who quietly and faithfully performed his duties at all times, and is recognized as a tireless fighting general who is ready for duty day or night. He emerged from the civil war with the respect of all his comrades, and per formed excellent service during the Spanish war, later distinguishing himself in the Philippines. Five months alter he entered the Pennsylvania regiment as a private, April 25. 1865, he was made captain of volunteers. One wear later he was promoted to the grade of major. In October. 1864. he had reached the grade of lieutenant colonel, and two months later was placed in command of his regiment. April 9, 1865. he was brevetted brigadier general of volun teers for conspicuous gallantry, and was honorably mustered out of the service July 1. 1865. A year later he was appointed in the regular establishment, with the rank of second lieutenant of the Twelfth regular infantry. July 2S the same year he transferred to the cav alry arm of the service with the rank of captain and was assigned to the Eighth regiment. He was not pro moted again until August 16, 1592, when he was commissioned as major. He held this rank until August 16, ISB2, when he was promoted to a lieu tenant coloncey. and was transferred to the Fourth cavalry. In 1597 he was given another promotion, this time to the colonelcy of his regiment. Upon the outbreak of the Spanish war Col. Young was given the rank if brigadier general of volunteers and was assigned to duty at Las Guasi mas. Cuba, where there was a lively battle in which Sergt. Hamilton Fish and Captin Allyn Caprnn. in command Of a light battery, were killed. This is the battle in which Col. Capron. the father of Capt Capron, fought so de perately after his son had been killed. During this campaign father and son lost their lives. Before the close of tha Spanish war General Young had been honored with the rank of major general of volun teers, which rank died with the vol unters army in 1899. He was made a brigadier in the regular army in 1900 and sent to the Philippines. Then followed the daring and successful campaign in Luzon, conducted under the special direction of General Young, whos cavalry scattered and broke up the insurgent organizations effectu ally. General Young was a member of the couct martial which tried and found euiity General Eagan, who attacked General Miles before the commission which investigated the scandals of the Spanish war. Later General Young was promoted to major general and selected by Secretary Root to be president of the army war college. The personal relations of the new commander and President Roosevelt are strong because of their associa tion in the Santiago campaign. Sec retary Root also has a high personal regard for General Young, and also places a high estimate' upon his abil ity as an army officer. General Young will serve only five months as commanding general of the army, as he will reach the age limit January 9, 1904. Upon his re tirement it is the plan to appoint Ma jor General Henry C. Corbin lieuten ant general in command of the army. General Corbin will not retire for age until September 15. 1906. Gen. Miles' Retirement. Washington, Aug. B.—Without a word of official commendation from the government which he served so galalntly Miles at noon walked out of hi's office in the war department for the last tlmte. With dignity and silence he" received a brief and coldly formal order retiring him from the service, an order in marked contrast with the laudatory one whereby his predecessor Schofield was retired from active duty. No episode con nected with Miles' private life has oc casioned so much comment in Wash ington as the studied omission of any reference to his distinguished services. The administration sympathizers could expect nothing else in view of the antagonism since the Spanish war. Miles' friends, however, regard his treatment as harsh. The Army and Navy Register, which usually reflects the sentiment of the army this morn ing after a lengthy review says that Miles had a record before he came to Washington which entitled him to more than this fling of silence. It was the last official act in a bitter fight and accomplishes nothing except to ex cite remark. It would like to believe something generous of the department at this time. Inasmuch as Miles after his retirement is just as amenable to military discipline as before it is hardly probable he will say anything. His last duty as commanding general was to receive this morning all the officers of the army stationed at (Continued on Page Eight) JAILBIRDS ESCAPE fOUR TOUGH CASES A Murderer, Two Horsethieves and a Forger, Saw Their Way Out of Prison.

Chicago.—Three million dollars' worth of property has been unearthed by Executor Edwin A. Warfleld as be longing to the estate of Colonel George T. Cline, the eccentric Chicagoan wh 0 died July 7, and whose will has re cently been admitted to probate. Un til the examination of Colonel Cline's thousands of letters and papers is complete, it will not be known how much more the estate is worth, but it is said to be possible that it approxi mate $6,000,000. Colonel Cline, who was 80 years old, and who had lived 63 years in this city, was a strangely secretive man. He discussed his affairs with no man, and it is only by the careful reading of every paper he left that the existence and location of his vast property hold ings can be determined. New dis coveries of real estate, checks and notes are being made every day. It will probably take two years to get the estate closed up. Colonel Cline left his entire estate to his relatives in California and Mar yland, of which latter state he was a native. One-quarter of the estate goes to his sister, Mrs. Mary Yeakle, and one-quarter to his brother. Nicho las Cline, both of Frederick, Md.; an other quarter is left to his nephew, Isaac T. Crum. of Oakland, Cal.. and the remaining quarter is shared by two other nephews. John Cline and George T. Cline of Los Angeles, Cal., collector of the port and depuay col lector respectively. Was Little Known. Despite Colonel Cline's wealth, he was known to few persons in Chicago. He belonged to the old-time school of financiers before the fire. Some of his former cronies were "Long John" Wentworth, Matthew Laflin, Jonathan Clark and Jacob Forsythe. As his old friends died he failed to make new ones and of recent years he had lived entirely alone, rooming at cheap boarding houses and eating at yet cheaper restaurants. In 1593 Cline bought Woodbine hotel at Englewood, a frame structure put iij) for the World's Fair and contain ing 75 rooms. Here he lived until his death, absolutely alone and inhabiting one room only. His "den." as he termed it was a place of mystery and no one was ever allowed in it during bis ten years' habitation. The door was double padlocked and never left open. Underneath the bed were ranged sight violins, side by side, each in a leather case and each covered by a white Bilk handkerchief. Here the colonel's passion was concentrated. For ten years he passed his time in that room, rarely going out but to in frequent meals and playing the violin 'he remainder of his waking hours. One of the eight instruments was an Amati, worth $1,500. "Americans dig their graves with their teeth," he used to say. And he himself to an average of one meal "a day at a cost of $3 a month.

BUILD COUNTY HOME Board of Commissioners so Decided Yesterday. PLANS WILL BE DRAWN AT ONCE Will Be of Brick and Must Not Exceed in Cost $15,000 —Result of Re cent Trip of Board. The erection of a home on the coun ty poor farm under consideration by the board of commissioners of several months was formally decided upon yesterday afternoon. Actual work on the structure will not be commenced, however, until the board has carefully considered plans to be submitted at the September meeting. An architect was yesterday empowered to draw up several plans. The question of cost, a member of the board said this morning, would be carefully considered before any defi nite action will be taken. The board has in mind the erection of a building to cost not to exceed $15,000, including furnishings and extras. If a building suitable for all purposes can be con structed for less, so much the better. The structure must be of brick and absolutely fireproof, he said. The finaj decision of the board was the result of a recent trip of inspec tion to poor farms of other counties In the state, which members of the board made. During this trip the buildings of the counties were visited and the cost of maintenance carefully inquired into. In Whitman county, a member said this morning, it was found that the total cost of caring for the poor and defraying expenses of all contagion did not exceed $3000 last year. Whitman county's poor did not exceed in number those of Walla Walla. The total cost of caring for Walla Walla county's poor at present under the contract system is $2100 per annuam. while contagion last year added at least $7000 to this amount. In Whitman county it was found that the superintendent of the poor farm, his wife and daughter, who are also employed are paid a total of $70 per month. All work on the farm is done by them, wi_hout any extra ex pense. A man i j understands his business is employed to look after all contagion at a monthly salary of $42. He i's sent to any part of the county where needed and superintends polic ing premises and disinfecting. The pest house is situated within a few hundred feet of the county homfe and all the cooking is carried on at the latter place at. a minimum cost. "Whitman county's methods of deal ing with her poor and contagion was found to be as nearly perfect as pos sible and it is the intention of the hoard to Copy after those methods as far as possible," a member of the hoard said this morning. "We believe that a saving of several thousand dol lars per annum can be effected by the county running her own poor farm and pest house affairs." Mgr.

How can a union man consistently object to the capitalist for refusing to employ union labor, while at the same time he refuses to employ union labor himself?

Union men and women, be consist ent, and demand the union label when buying.—The Tobacco Worker. It hits the spot these warm and sultry days. What? That union made beer handled by Meath Stradley. Workingmen Score a Point. A Colorado court has rendered a decision which will make ii more dif ficult for employers to bring men into their plants secretly to take the places of strikers. It is held by this that the employer is obliged to tell the new employe that he is expected to take the place of a striker. Other wise the employer is resiionsible for any injury which may come to the em ploye at the hands of strikers or mobs. In this rase a new employe was attacked and shot. He sued his em ployer for damages, alleging that the fact that a strike was in progress was not made known to him, and as a new employe he had no means of knowing. In other words, his em ployer exposed him to danger and without warning. An important point will be gained if the practice of bringing men se cretly to take the strikers' places is broken up permanently. At present when a strike is on in one city ad vertisements are spread broadcast in other cities telling of the great de mand for labor in a certain line. Agents are ready to engage men, and often an army of workmen are sent to the place, only to find that a strike is on Then they have the alternative of "scabbing" or of going back at their own expense, a thine which most of them cannot afford to do- Baltimore Labor Leader.

WEATHER. Tonight and Sunday fair, continued warm. WATER QUESTION PARAMOUNT. The water question is still the par amount issue in Walla Walla. The need of a better water supply is con ceded by all and there is practically no opposition to the proposed gravity system from Thomas springs as soon as it is definitely ascertained that there is sufficient water available to meet the demands of the city with due allowance for its certain growth dur ing the next twenty-live years. The Statesman has reason to be lieve that the scheme to sell about half of the Thomas ranch to the city for twenty live thousand dollars has not been entirely abandoned. It lias been demonstrated beyond question that the city has no need of any land, except a few acres for reservoir sites and development purposes, for the reason that it already owns all the subterranean water on the Thomas ranch of over 280 acres. Ownership of the land would give no better right to the use of this water, a right for which the old water company paid ten thousand dollars. The city has ample power under the common law, under state law and under the provis ions of the city charter to protect this water supply from pollution and to prosecute any person who interferes with the free exercise of the city's rights. The only question not fully decided is whether or not there is water enough on the ranch to supply the re quirements of this growing city of twelve thousand inhabitants and to provide for the greater population that will be here within a few years. There is good reason to believe that such a supply of water exists on the Thomas ranch. The Walla Walla Water Company bought the right to the use of the suterranean water only after a thorough expert investigation, and if water in abundance is not found thf re. i; will prove that the water company paid ter. thousand dol lars for a gold brick. The directors of the old water company were shrewd business m r don't you emigrate to Australia, Tavish? Australia's a grand place, by all accounts. "It used to be," the other returned, "but it is no longer, Australia is as overcrowded as any other land." -"The coast may be," the farmer a I mitted. "but the interior. I'm sure, is not. Go to Australia. Tavish. and push into the interior." "I>—— the interior." said the ped dler. "There's nothing there but kan garoos." Tiie farmer thought that the kanga roos were some foreign race of peo t :le. "Well. Tavish," he said, reproach fully, "isn't a kangaroo's money as good as any other man's?" Foxall Keene, who is now as nota ble for daredevil automohiling as he was formerly notable for daredevil riding to hounds, was witness, some years ago. in a small ease that was tried before a country magistrate in Maine. The magistrate was most il literate, and Mr. Keene sometimes tells a little story about him. According to the story, the lawyer upon one side had occasion to refer to a dead man. whose evidence, had he lived, would havebeen important. "The defunct," the lawyer would say, "would have corroborated me in this, yeour honor;" or. "The defunct, may it please the court, would, were he here;" or, "It is notorious that de funct declared frequently, your hon or," and so on. Whenever these references to the dead man v,.'re made, indignant ob jections came from the lawyer on the other side. The words "the defunct," in fact, always caused a sqt; ab ide, and it was to lie observed that in this squabble the magistrate, from the beginning, had been disposed to cake part, fie frowned and shook his head in reprobation a great deal, and final ly he said impatiently: "What's tiie use o' talkin' so much about this chap you call the defunct? Cant you bring him here and let him speak for himself?" "The defunct is dead, your honor," tiie lawyer interposed, hastily. Tbe magistrate iooked mollified. "Oh, that alters the case," he said. The little English vicar of Hexteon, whose objection to a high church rit ualism brought him recently into con flict with Bishop Potter in New York, sat, one day, drinking a brandy-and soda in the cafe of the Fifth Avenue hotel. A group of reporters surrounded him. One of the reporters said: "Why don't you try to down ritual ism. Mr. Fillingham, with sermons rather than with violence?" The vicar smiled, "Sermons." he said, "have an effect always, but too often this effect is the opposite one to what the sermonizer intended." "How do you mean, sir?" the re porter asked. "I'll illustrate to you what I mean," said the vicar. I once had a parish ioner who was a miser. For this man's benefit I preached, one Sunday, strong sermon on the necessity of ■charity, of philanthropy— a sermon on the duty and the joy of giving. The miser, at whom I gazed often, seemed impressed. "Next day I met him on the street. 'Well. John.' I said, what did you think of yesterday's sermon?' 'It moved me deeply, sir.' he an sewered. 'It has brought home to me so strongly the necessity of giving alms that honestly, sir. I've a great mind to turn beggar.' Men Hard to Obtain. Olympia.—Work on the plastering of the capital annex has begun, under the direction of J. B. Carson, of Spo kane. The workmen are now engaged in the south dome and are making good progress. It i's estimated, how ever, that it will take at least two months to complete this work entire ly, as the hardest proposition seems to be to get men to do the work. M. J.

Seattle—The contest between quick-shaving barbers was cut short at the carnival grounds, after three of them had given an exhibition of re. moving whiskers from a man's face with dexterity and dispatch. It was all on account of a speiler with the big voice bawling through his megaphone: "This way for the high dive!" The people lost all interest ia the shaving contest when this announce ment was made, and left the amphi theater by thousands. It was not fafr to asy the barbers to perform to em ty benches, so it was announced that the contest would be finished tonight. Three barbers performed and Salva tore Palma was easily the winner. He skimmed the bright, red whiskers off a man in exactly 55 seconds. He went around that man like a cooper around a barrel, and he lopped off whiskers so fast that the judges were bewidered. With six deft strokes of his razor ho had that man's chin as smooth as that of a baby, and held his razor aloft like a man saluting with a saber, to signify that the jab was done. The man in the chair lay all stretched, out. the judges, all barbers came around and felt of his face for rough places and finally declared the job to be well done. Mr. Palma re tired to one corner of the platform while other barbers jerked the towels from under the chin of the victim and still another barber combed his hair The other contestants were W I Kmsey, who took 87% seconds to shave his man. and Salvatore Currosa who consumed 70 seconds in remov ing the beard. Mr. Curroso wasted a little time in running his hands over the race of his man to see if he had missed anything, otherwise he would have finished in a minute. Three more barbers with their tools in hand, were waiting for a shy at the record, but when the big voice bawled out the information about the high dive the audience faded away, and they will have their chance tonight The performance of Mr. Palma in shaving a man clean in fiv© seconds less than a minute is regarded as something wonderful and his record is not expected to be beaten. The bar bers ail over the city are taking a great interest in the trials for the winner gets a gold medal. DIVIDE THE MONEY. Spokane Brothers Come to Seattle for Arbitration. Seattle.—After five years of broth erly contention, Fred and John My ere, of Spokane, submitted their dif ferences to arbitration of a mutual ♦fit n vt nd u each Besses satisfac ton with the result. The arbitra tion court sat in this city, and the de- cision involved the div sion of $8,500. Something more than five yeas ago Andrews Myers, a well-to-do farmer farmer living near Spokane, died, leaving a considerable estate to his two sons. The property was specifi cally divided between Fred, the older, and John, the younger, with the ex ception of one piece of improved real estate in the city of Spokane. This was bequeathed to the together. There were no other heirs. Shortly after the 'father's death came an opportunity to sell the city property for $8,500, which seemed to both sons a reasonable figure. The ;ransfer was made, both signing the deed, and the money placed in a bank. Then came the argument, which has continued for five years, the proceeds of the sale meantime remaining un touched. Both boys had all their lives lived and worked with their father. Fred Myers, the elder by three years, claimed that by reason of his senior ity and longer service, he should be entieled to more than half of the pro ceeds from the joint bequest; John Myers resisted ■this claim and insisted on an even share of $4,250. Recently both decided that they could find a better use for the oney than to leave it idle in the bank, and the controversy took a, new vigor. Neither wanted to go to law. where a considerable part of the money would be eaten up in fees and costs. At length arbitration was suggested. Af ter casting about among mutual ac quaintances, the name of an old schoolmate was recalled, and the brothers appealed to him. He is J. F. Archibald, of Fairhaven. M. Archibald and the Myers broth ers met by a prearrangement in Seat- tie. The brothers agreed to abide by Archibald's decision, and each sub mitted his side of the case. After careful consideration the arbitrator decided that inasmuch as the father had indicated no seniority in making the joint bequest, none was intended; so he cut the $8,500 squarely in two. Olympia.—The clerical force in the state secretary's department is pre paring for the annual session of the state board of equalization. Sched ules are being made out, the railroad companies and those corporations which have failed to make their an nual report to the secretary of state are being notified. This board con sists of the state auditor, chairman, state secretary and state land com missioner. Mr. F. T. Houghton has been appointed clerk of the board, with the stenographer yet to be named. The first meeting will be held on the first Monday in September, and continue twenty-one days. Water has been struck in the sec ond artesian well which has been bored by the state. The pipes had gone a distance of 135 feet when the flow commenced, but will be driven still further in the hope of increasing the volume of water.

MILD LABOR LAW IS VIOLATED In Some of the Factories of the State —Blackman Will Make Investi gation. Olympia.—A complaint has been lodged with Labor Commissioner Blackman two Tacoma facto ries for violation of the new child labor law. The fartories complained of are a sash a-id door factory and a planing mill. The complaint alleges that the factories are employing children under fifteen years of age. The ag"e limit is fourteen years, but as there is nothing to show how much under fifteen the children men tioned are, Mr. Blackman has con cluded to make an investigation of the charges. This will probably be done this week. Another complaint has reached the labor commissioner from a small town in Eastern Washifcgton, where the publisher of a newspaper is keep ing his twelve year old son out of school to work in a printing office. This case will also be investigated. These are the only complaints filed so far of violations of the new law, ex cept one in Puyallup, which was in vestigated a few days ago. In the latter case the children did not re ceive employment directly from the proprietors of the factory but were re quired by their parents who worked by the piece, to assist them. Although Mr. Blackman considers this a violation of the law it was not so clearly so that he thought imme diate prosecution advisable. The parents were notified that the children must cease work. OFFER OF BIG REWARD. Much Money for the Capture of Mon tana Dynamiters. Butte, Mont. —The Northern Pacific officials have increased the amount of reward for the apprehension of the miscreants who attempted to wreck the big steel bridge across the Yel lowstone river, near Livingston, Sun day night, from $1000 to $2500 in view of attempt to dynamite a train last night near Bozeman. The governor has added another $1000, and the Park county commis sioners $500, making a total of $4000 now offered. It is believed the same persons committed both outrages. TRY TO WRECK TRAIN. Montana Dynamiters Place Explosiive on N. P. Tracks. Helena. —An attempt was made one miles west of Bozeman to wreck a Northern Pacific train by dynamite. Engine No. 29, pulling west bound train No. 53, was partially wrecked by an explosion of dynamite, which broke the headlight, shattered the windows of the cab and otherwise damaged the locomotive. Engineer W. Dean was not injured. The perpetrator of the outrage is supposed to be the same person who tried to blow up a Northern Pacific bridge over the Yellowstone river at Livingston Sunday morning. An un known man undertook to purchase a quantity of dynamite at Chestnut Sat urday. His description is in posses sion of detectives and every effort is being made to capture the suspect, for whom $2500 reward is offered by the company. A FIGHT FOR SPOILS Mayor Humes Wan's Seattle Postoffice. ItiKEKY Orr«BKD TO STEWART Cu6hman Haa Interfered With Foster in Some of the Latter's Plans. A Seattle dispatch to the Oregonian says: Will E. Humphrey has the question of the Seattle postoffice still under advisement. Some day local politicians may know what the Seat tle members of congress intends to recommend to the president, but at present they are informed, he has not yet decided the matter. To local politicians the question of a new postmaster at Seattle resolves itself down to a choice between G-c-orge M. Stewart the present in cumbent, and W. A. Carle, who has the indorsement of the King county legislative delegation or rather that portion of the delegation that voted for Senator Levi Ankeny. Now and then some one mentions Mayor Thomas J. Humes as a possible com promise candidate, mindful, probably, of the fact that Humes and Ankeny have been intimate personal and pol itical friends. Humes on a Still Hunt. The suggestion that Humes might be a candidate for postmaster, or that he was considering the possibility of acquiring that position, has not been noised abroad in Seattle. Here there are comparatively few who know that Mayor Humes is reported to have •old a few of his intfrnate friends that he will not be a candidate to succeed himself. Most Seattle politicians ex pect him to make a fight for mayor again, if conditions are at all favorable, and it would not be a bit surprising if in time the mayor did enter the coming contest. But at present the postmaster's position ap peals to him. This is the attitude of Humes, looked at from a standpoint of men who are regarded as close to him. For himself the mayor is silent. He is not gifted with the habit of taking the public into his confidence, and there are few politicians in Seattle who can say they have had any inti mation of his future plans from May or Humes. Influence Wielded by Stewart. That George M. Stewart is a eerious candidate for postmaster has always been understood. He was named more than four year ago, just at the close of the term of Senator John L. Wilson. Stewart had been treasurer of the Republican State Central com mittee for several years, and was a strong King county supporter of Wil son. It is extremely doubtful whether Foster would have chosen Stewart for the Seattle postoffice, and Wilson did not leave the question open for doubt. During the last senatorial contest the fortunes of George M. Stewart were made the particular care of his brother, A. B. t>tewart, who was one of the most prominent of the King county business men who were sup porting Preston. When the latter was shown to be an impossible can didate, A. B. Stewart made every ef fort to guarantee the reappointment of his brother, but failed to secure any pledge of suport. Senator Ankeny is quoted as having declared positively that Stewart could not be reappointed. There is no doubt that Senator Ankeny is strongly averse to renaming the present post master, or that he will fight his ap pointment, so long as there is oppor tunity for so doing. The office is regarded as one that falls within the list of senatorial ap pointments. Ordinarily, politicians would conclude that the decision of Ankeny that Stewart must go would settle the matter, especially as Sen ator Foster will not quarrel with him over the place. But, inasmuch as Se attle is the home of Representative Humphrey, there is a question wheth er the two senators will be allowed to dictate the appointment of a new postmaster here. Whether Humphrey has a choice has been concealed from politicians. Mr. Humphrey has not "made up his mind," and whether he will interfere Is an open question. Foster and Jones With Ankeny. That Senator Foster and Repre sentative Jones will support any rec mendation that Senator Ankeny makes is entirely probable, and that Senator Ankeny agreed that the King county men who voted for him should control King county ]>olitics is unde nted. So it i's well understood that so far as the majority of the Washington congressional delegation is concern ed, it is strongly opposed to Stewart, and will permit the opponents of Stewart to name the new man. Wheth er Cushman could be induced to take a hand in the matter is questionable. Mr. Cushman is playing the best poli tics he can at present, and he will not make a fight unless he can see an ad vantage in it for himself. All of which is good policy, but complicates the situation regarding the appoint ment. Cushman Has Troubles of His Own.

William Jones Offices: Walla W«|(, W GRAIN I He pays the _ _ V _ #M highest market price J. Ly. oLOTT, Mgr Walla Walls, Wash. Bedford, of Tacoma, as assistant Uni ted States district attorney. District Attorney Jesse Frye has recommend ed Bedford's appointment, urging that conditions in the attorney's office are harmonious and declaring that Bed ford would serve better. He makes no charge agaihst the personal or professional character of the present deputy, E. E. Cushman. a brother of the representative. This fact has given Representaive Cushman the opportunity of declaring to the department of justice that the United States attorney, aided by the Foster politicians, are making an at tack upon his brother in order to reach himself. Furthermore, he has urged the good reputation of his brother and has succeeded in holding up the appointment. One thing that has aided Cushman somewhat is that Bedford was former ly a clerk in the office of Indian Com missoner C. A. Snowden at Tacoma. As such, he left his post and went to Washington during the Crocker-Ide fight over collector of customs. He was reprimanded and finally allowed to resign. While this was a matter that pertained solely to the interior department, it i 3 held it has had an effect upon the departmnt of justice. Arvother Good Berth for Someone. Though there is a nice berth in the United States assayer's office await ing a new appointment, the congres sional delegation has not yet decided upon a recommendation. Fred Wing, who has held the position of assayer since the office was established, is anxious to remain, but thus far he has received no assurance that he will not be disturbed. The place un der the terms of the Ankeny agree ment, is likely to be filled upon the recommendation of the King county members of the legislature. It has been suggested that one of their num. ber might be chosen, but this is ex tremely doubtful. In any event, whose men to whom Ankeny. Foster and Jones are most apt to listen have made no recommendation. Foster followers are alleging that the controversies over the land offices at Vancouveh and Spokane will be settled to their satisfaction. It is conceded there has been a hard fight over the places and that tbe oppo nents of the Foster-Ankeny combina tion have made the situation extreme ly difficult. But Foster men contend that pressure will be brought to bear to effect an amicable understanding and deliver the berths to them. The offices will be brought to the attention of federal officials when congress re convenes. Foster is extremely anxious that Hal Cole should be appointed in Spo kane. This lias been his own fight, while Ankeny has looked after the Vancouver Office. Foster wants the services of Cole and his friends in county, and though he will probably have heir support anyway, he would fee] surar of ft if r.e won the fight on b half of Cole.

LEVI TUB l)0H S BY ROOSEVELT The President Refuses to Appoint Ha| Cole Register of Spokane Land Office. Washington, D. C. —Several days ago President Roosevelt received, at Oyster Bay, a long telegram signed by Senators Ankeny and Foster, urg ing that immediate action be taken in the matter of the register of the Spokane land office by appointing Hal Cole to succeed William H. hid den. Senator Foster has been endea voring for more than a year to secure Cole's appointment, and he was rein forced in his efforts by Senator Ank eny after the election at Olympia last March. The president forwarded the tele gram to the interior department, ask ing that the papers in the Cole case be sent to him, as he would like to dis pose of the matter as soon as possi ble. The papers accordingly were for warded. Later the acting secretary of the interior received a letter from the president, returining the pape.j and saying that he had decided 35 to appoint Cole. It appears "inadvisable" to do so. the president said, in view of Cole's record, and also in view of Mr. Lud den's fine administration as register. Secretary Hitchcock is not in the city, but his views in regard to the Cole candidacy is well known to the pres ident. The secretary's attitude is clearly defined in writing also in the papers which were forwarded to the president the other day. Mr. Hitchock has not only decline! consent to Cole's appointment but he has warmly endorsed Mr. Ludden. saying that he ought by all means to be retained in office. When Cole was in Washington last winter Secretary Hitchcock asked him about a certain story to the effect that when Cole was Indian aeent at 0* ville he had failed to deliver to an Indian girl the sum of several s» dred dollars which had been for*** ed to him for the girl by a man in» east. It had been charged that Co.- instead of delivering the money 1* it to a friend, handing promise, notes to the girl instead.
