DON'T WANT ANOTHER JUDcr
Sounty omcers Petition Against the
Measure-IIr. Gasch,a Oninion

Measure-Mr. Gasch's Opinion.
The movement on foot to add another superior
Judge to the number already provided for King
county has met with opposition from the county
commissioners. They discussed the question
yesterday morning and came out fiat-footed
against the proposition. They drew up and
ADOPTED the following petition to be presented
10 toe House OF Representatives:
The undersigned, your petitioners, residents
ana taxpayers OF the county of King, in the
It is proposed by some OF the members Of YOUR
honorable body to increase the number of
superior judges for this county to four, an in
crease OF one, would respectfully represent:
hat this would entail additional exDense of
maintenance OF the court, judges salary and all
tne incidental expenses connected with court
nat we are well acquainted with the work
ln2s OF the present court, and the amount OF ac
cumulated business on hand not yet disposed of
That we are fully OF the opinion that the
court as at present constituted is fully able and
competent to care for and dispose OF ali business
that VIII come before the courts OF King county.
hat we believe that any increase in the
number OF judges Is unnecessary and uncalled
ior, that no good results will be accomplished
thereDy, and that an additional and unneces-
sary burden would be laid upon the taxpayers
OF this county by such action
Therefore we would petition your honorable
pody not TO increase the number of Judges in
tnis county, as proposed, and your petitioners
as in duty bound will ever pray
Almost Immediately after the petition was
drawn up IL was signed by the three commits
sioners-Chairman Fred Gasch, William H TayIor
ana John Wooding- County Auditor Frank A.
Twichell, County Treasurer Byron Phelps, and
the following jurors, recently drawn: Ira
Nooding, NJ ID. Smith, Isaac Clifford. w. s.
Powell, Patrick C. Hayes, o. NJ. Jones and John
Rines.
The judges are not busy all the time by any
means, said Chairman Gasch early yesterday
afternoon sFor day and hall or two days
every week the three superior judges are not in
their seats, the clerks aud other attaches are out
OF court; In the meanwhile their salaries still
go on. Judge Lichtenbefg is not busy at this
moment. He said he did not care to sign the
petition, because he is an interested party The
appointment of an additional Judge would be
an imposition on the taxpayers because three
judges have not now all they can do"

ATTORNEY CRoCKETTs FEE.
The $500 He Got From May Gibson
Must Be Produced.

/ An interesting sequel to the May Gibson lar
lnuy case began in the superior court yesterday.
When May Gibson was arrested in November for
the robbery of one OF her visitors in her White
lthapel Gen OF infamy, John p Kelly put up $500
Icssh bail for her appearance, and now claims
I The ownership of the money, which was sup
Ipesed 10 be May Gibsons.

! ne clerk OF the court with whom ii had been
1eposited A little scene occurred in the hall

attorney and client figured, and then the case
/ passed out of public notice and gave way to
4other Whitechapcl robberies.
Yesterday John T. Kelly petitioned the court
I for an order on Attorney Crockett 10 compel him

causes. One was that as the men only worked
eight hours 1t was necessary TO have three
shifts instead OF two. Besides the work was in
creasing considerably.
Mr.. Hebron said he had been investigating
the system with Mr.. Chalk, and when they got
through they might have some recommends
tons to make.
Mr. Chalk said ii did not seem very Just 10 the
people who were expecting lower rates, but he
did not see how 10 get out OF ii if the provisions
OF the charter were 70 be observed. He had no
friends TO put on the service.
Dir. Hebron said the city was not in posi-
ton TO actas private corporation could 1t
certainly was great convenience to many peo-
pie 10 have extra collectors; it had been 'neces-
ssry TO get another bookkeeper, as the construc-
ton accounts were now kept in the Office.
Mr.. Chalk recommended that electric lights be
placed in the pumping station and water houses,
ss the danger from fire was very great now.
They were compelled TO Use large coal Oh lamps,
but of course they were careful to use every pre-
caution possible. Besides this, the cost of burn
ing oil is great, averaging from SO to So per
month
The matter was referred to Major Rinehart for
investigation and reports.

Nan. George II. Williams, of Portland was one
! rs attorneys for the defendants, assisted by
Il NJ Nv. H. Thompson. The railroad company
- represented by Mr.. Ashton, of Spokane
Iysls. and Mr. C. F. Munday.
NJ. williams argued that the property around
~ tract selected for railroad shops, depot and
lighthouses would be damaged and its value
.teureeiated. That no person would want to
scyrhase property and locate when the nights
iosomotises aud the running of trains He con-
tnaed that the neighborhood of railroad depot
/ I'd shops was generally low, dirty place and
4 g; as valuable as if the roads were further
|sxey
III. Ashton argued that the surrounding prop
! III would be enhanced in value instead of de-
1uvcisted by the building of the depot ON this
| fsct. He said that last June this property was
|sslued at 81 900 an acre, and as soon as IL was
/ Known that the railroad wanted it the price was
Increased TO 5000 an acre; that 81 500 an acre
|u about 10000 for the six acres would be fair
|giee.
Mr. Thompson said that the railroad had ap-
|prupriated the property Of these men and they
|rsre entitled to damages; that the law provides
ios proper compensation. He claimed that per-
sons have a right to share the benefits that fol-
How railroad building into a community, and
|sny benefits that may have accrued to Ladd and
Tweed by reason OF the building of the road on
[theIr premises could not be considered in the
assessment OF damages. He claimed that this
band is worth $500 an acre, and that fair CON-
|pensaiion should be made for damages 10 the
adjoining property.
Judge Osborn instructed the jury that they
must no, consider the benefits derived from the
railroad TO this property. but that damages must

bnay result from the Improvements that follow
