PRICE OF LUrHER's ABSENCE.

Evidence That He offered to Keep
Away From the Mini Trial.
Edwin J. Luther, who is regiytered at the
police station under the name of &. II.
Hoffman, was acquitted in the municipal
court yesterday morning Of the charge of
stealing two bottles of whisky from the
Esmond saloon wine cellar, but 10 still in
hot water in connection with the Alfred
Wright granddaughter case at Centralia, in
which he has played an important part as
. witness. It will be remembered that
Luther told PosT-INTELLIGEScERr reporter
some time ago that attempts had been
made by the defendants to get him out Of
the country. but he said nothing that
would indicate that he had agreed to any
such proposition.
Chief Jackson now has documentary
evidence in his possession, a portion Of
which was introduced in the trial for petit
larceny to impeach Luther's testimony,
showing that. according to his own adnis-
sion. he agreed to keep away from the trial
for $l75, SIS of which he received in adj
vance from Mrs. Mccormick. who was re-
Gently discharged from custody by the
Lewis county officials. AS soon as Chief
Jackson heard that DR.. Minkler. who was
convicted Of manslaughter in connection
with the case in question, had been granted
. new trial, he placed the matter before
the municipal court. and Luther was re-
manded to Jail for twenty-four hours to
await word from the Lewis county prose-
cutting attorney as to what should be done
in the matter.
The sheriff of Lewis county arrived last
night, and will take Luther back to Gen.
tralia today.

AMUSE MENTA.

"Tho Crust Of Society,""
"The Crust of Society,"" which was pre-
sented last night at the Seattle theater to
good house. is social study. 1t is not
q drama, because it lacks human interest.
There are discussions about morals which
are hardly the thing tor drawing rooms,
granted that the views Of the author are
sound. Dumas wrote the story for Paris
and laid the scene there. In the version
presented by Stetson's able company the
adapters have transferred the play to
London. Geographically it is . sort of
misft. The action moves slowly, too
slowly to sustain interest. Indeed the
four acts are little more than q series of
pictures of men and women who move
between the crusts of upper and the crusts
of lower society; but whether the pictures
be individual or in groups they are artistic
ally done and therefore pleasing. In
spots. the play is brilliant with epigram.
matte wit, and . moral is not lacking.
All the women. with one exception, are
not good, and all the men, with one ex-
ception, are the opposite. Still the phases
of life which they present are far from re.
pulsive. Mrs. Stetson plays Mrs. Eastlake
Chapel, about whom the plot is drawn.
Very handsome and very graceful, skilled
in the art of posture and knowing how to
make the most of a number Of effectivs
speeches, Mrs. Stetson's performance is
decidedly enjoyable. Mr.. A. s. Lipman,
the central figure among the men, is
manly and has fetching way of biting off
his words and dropping his voice. All
the comedy falls to Miss Isabel Eyesson,
who played Mrs. Ernestine Echo very we'll
indeed. The details of the play are per-
feet and there is bountifui display Of
handsome evening costumes "The Crust
of Society" will be given tonight for the
last time

aths sitting Of the Boring sea court Of ar

~ on behalf Of the United States the pre-
ontatiou of the American side Of the case,
eommencsd yesterday. He read letters
l1aring upon the question at issue, sent
y Blaine. when secretary OF state, to Sir
Jslisn Pauncefote, British minister at
Warrington City. After reading these
lsttsfs. Carter commented upon them at
Agth. He contended that Blaine's COM
uunications to the British representative
sAoved that the basis Of the negotiations
Tie regulation of the sealing industry
vleto preserve the species, and this was
fpart from the question Of rights raised
y Lord Salisbury. Carter further con.
tsadsd that in his dispatches to Paunce-
toee In response to Blaine's letters, Sails
hafy ably and ingeniously avoided rather
than answered Blaine's argument that
yslagic fishing was contra bones mores.
~ this point John T. Morgan. one of the
sshitrators on the part of the United
BATES, inquired whether Canada had ap-
proved the draft Of the convention before
Lord Salisbury had made his suggestion
relative to the ten-mile limit. This ques-
ton led to discussion, in which Carter.
Or Charles Russell, Of the counsel for
Great Britain: Sir John Thompson, OF
Canada, one Of the British arbitrstors, and
Senator Morgan took part.
Cartss admitted that the fact that peiagic
seaiiae was wrong did not give tie United
States the right to interfere, but contended
that when it was proved that such sealing
Injured IN American industry it became
the duty Of the United States to stop the
Practice. Carter, in conclusion, pro-
eesdsd 70 question the right Of the United
slatss 70 protect its sealing interests and
Industry. He began by declaring that
Aowever valuable to the United States the
ssel industry might be its greatness as q
nation forbade its accepting any decision
unless founded upon principles Of justice.
No was convinced that Great Britain
shared its views and demanded only a
dscision dictated by these principles. He
appealed to the members of the court to
dismiss from their breasts every feeling of
rsrt'ality and give judgment, not as citi-
sens OF any particular country. but a.
citizens OF the world. Mr.. Carter hal not
sanned when the court adjourned.
