Captain Joseph Green, of B compang,

Esplin.
Captain Green was the unanimous
choice of the officers for the vacancy, and
will hereafter wear the silver leaf on his
shoulder-knots, instead of the double bar
The newly elected lieutenant colonel is
regarded as one of the best tacticians in
the regiment and is the senior captain.
He was an officer in the Seattle Rides, the
first military company organized in the
state west of the mountains, and has
served as captain of B company ever
since its organization.
When the election of Captain Green
was made known, a squad of four nom
commissioned officers stepped out of the
armory and fred salute in his honor,
and then other members of the regiment
joined in the cheering that followed.
Calls were made for Captain Green, who
stepped to the door and modestly thanked
his cheering comrades for their kindness.
and said he was glad to know that his
election meets with their approval.
Colonel Haines then invited the officers
to the Rainier Club, where a banquet was
served in honor of the newly elected lieu
tenant colonel, and in the glitter of gold
lace and sparkles of champagne the rulers
of the First regiment forgot the horrors of
war and Joined in feasting and revelry.
The promotion of Captain Green leaves
vacancy in B company that will be filled
by some of the young blood.

A swede Makes Two Intellectual At
tempts at Drowning.
J. O. Johnson, Swede, made an inef-
fectual attempt to drown himself in the
bay last evening, but was fshed out by
longshoremen. Johnson was arrested
early yesterday morning while roaming
around the docks in suspicious manner
as If meditating jumping into the water.
He was tried before Judge Rivers yester-
day afternoon on charge of vagrancy and
dismissed
About 7o'clock he went down to Yes
ler's wharf and deliberately jumped OIL.
As soon as he rose TO the top he made
desperate struggles to keep his head under
water, although he seemed to have very
hard work in doing so. Some of the long
shoremen, who saw him take the leap. put
out with boat and rescued him. He was
then taken to police headquarters. Here
Chief Rogers, instead of locking Johnson
up, sent for some of the soldiers OF the
Salvation Army, who took him away with
them to their barracks. The poor fellow
is evidently half demented

HopELEssLY HUNG.
The Jury in the starks Murder Case
Failed to Agree.

The Jury In the starks Murder case
Failed to Agree.
After being out for forty-eight hours the
Jury in the Taylor Starks murder case was
discharged by Judge Humes at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, there being no posi-
bic chance of their agreeing upon averdict.
When questioned as to the probability of
reaching verdict, the jury told Judge
Humes that there was not only no
probability, but there was no possibility.
I've stand as firm as the rock of Gibral-
ter" replied one of the jurors, and all said
that the jury was hung and no verdict
could be reached.
James Hamilton Lewis, one of the attor-
neys for Starks, then moved for the dis
charge ofthe prisoner on the ground that
the court had discharged the jury without
their having requested it, and that his eli
ent had, therefore, once been put in ieop-
ardy. Judge Humes denied the motion,
and then j. #. Ronald. Starks' other attor-
ney, demanded an immediate trial for the
reason that his client is in Jail and is
ready for trial. Judge Humes promised
as early trial as possible, and thought
they could begin the trial of the case
some time next week.
The question as to bail for Toylor Starks
will be taken up at O'Clock this after
noon, and he will probably be admitted to
bail as soon as the court fixes the amount.

CARD swINpIrNG CASES.
"Pat-Hand Poker" Players to Have
Justice Dealt to Them.


The cases against Henry Connell. Henry
Adams and Francis Adams, who are
chargedwith grand larceny by swindling
Rufus N. Horton out of $50 in a card game,
at Front street saloon, was called in
Judge Humes' court yesterday and set for
hearing on May 2s. The case against them
for carrying on swindling game at the
same time and place will also be tried
then.
These men are said to be slick card
sharks, and it is charged that on the night
of April 70 they jointly and unlawfully
conspired together to carry on swindllng
game, commonly called ''pat-hand
poker and cheated and defrauded Hor-
ton out of $50. Connell worked Horton
by representing that he had the best hand
and induced him to bet, but Henry and
Francis Adams had fixed their own hands
and when the hands were shown Horton
saw he had been victimized and his op-
ponents raked in the pot.
This is the first case of this kind that
Prosecuting Attorney Miller has brought,
but he expects to be sustained by the court
in the position he takes, and thereby be
enabled to put an end to card swindling in
this city.

CRUSHED BY FALLING LUMBER.
A Laborer Killed at Ballard-Aecident
to Single Maker.

to shinele-Maker.
A horrible and fatal accident befell an
employe of the Stimson Mill Company, at
Ballard, about o'clock yesterday after
noon. A pile of lumber near the mill,
standing about thirty feet high, toppled
over and fell upon A. Zintic. He was ter
ribly crushed.
He had been wheeling and piling lumber
near the pile that fell over. A number of
men worked almost half an hour before
the unfortunate laborer was taken out of
the lumber. Life was not yet extinct. but
he lived only ten minutes after the lumber
was taken off him. His left leg was badly
Strangely enough his head and the upper
part of his body were not hurt, but the
lower part and legs were completely COW
cred by the fallen timber.
Coroner Horton was summoned and
Immediately went to Ballard. After a
careful investigation he concluded to con-
suit the prosecuting attorney as to
whether an inquest should be held.
1t was stated last night that an inquest
would not be held, though DR.. Horton
proposes to resume his investigation this
morning. 1t is claimed that the mill
company should be held accountable for
having its lumber piled in such way as to
fall over, endangering the lives ofemployes.
Deceased was 3S years old and lived in
Salmon Bay park, north of Ballard. He
leaves wife and seven children, ranging
in age from ~ years up to l6
years. Their case is one calling for
charity, as they are suddenly deprived of
support.
Another accident occurred yesterday,
also at Ballard, the victim being another
employee of the Stimson Mill Company's
shingle mill named George Rooney. A
shingle flew from the saw and struck him
in the left eye. cutting a deep cash in the
lid. DR.. Coe was summoned from Seattle
and dressed the wound. The eye is badly
discolored, but the wound, though very
painful, is not serious.

can possibly make up a similar
dress yourself.
Just as a convincing proof
take look at the tailor
made flannel dress which we
sell at $I2.5o, and also examine
the tailor-made Tricot, which
is marked at $1,000. Judge
the whole stock proportionately
by these two.
In the corner show window
you will notice a variety of
waists--half a dozen different
styles and innumerable shades
and patterns. These all have
a special price marking.
First notice those matinee
waists silk, with pleated
fronts. These were originally
sold at $I4. We have made
them special at S..
House waists-a large COM
pany of them-very good buys
at SIPS, $I.35 and $I.5o to So.
You can have them in f1annels,
demets, mauve cloths, etc,
either plain, stripes or checks.
There is a line of Bingham
waists at 75c each, which we
say are really worth every cent
of $I.25.
A very good black India silk
waist that's very cheap at $3.75
is worthy of your attention.
Of course, these we have
mentioned are but a fraction of
the stock which we carry.
Another special of the cloak
department is broken lot of
children's jackets, ages a to ii
years, which have been marked
at So each. They formerly
sold at 81. so and S. each.
