TN SPITE OF POLICE.
Burglar Frank Wilson Elected
to Go Over the Road.
SUIT OF THE ELEVATOR VICTIM.
Miss Walthew Pushing Her Claim for
$4,000 Damages for Personal
Injuries-Court Notes.

Frank Wilson, . notorious crook, who
finished term in the Oregon penitentiary
last tail, was convicted Of burglary by
fury in Judge Humes' court Yesterday
afternoon. The offense consisted in break
ing into the room of c. Everson, q Peru
Wan miner. at the Milton house. on Front
street. on December 7. Everson was not
at home at the time of the entry, but
when he returned saw Wilson under his
bed, and fight ensued between the two
men. in which Eyerson took his revolver
from the burglar. but his right hand was
nearly bitten off in the struggle. The
noise attracted the other inmates of the
house. who burst open the door, but Will
son made his escape, leaving his black
souch hat behind.
On the following day E. w. Stevens was
arrested by Capt Sims on suspicion Of be-
ing the burglar, but was released in the
afternoon on Everson's affidavit that he
was not the man. II turned out that
Stevens was special friend Of Everson's,
and Everson was SO anxious to get him
out that he said he was willing to put up
$1,000 if necessary to OBTAIN his release.
In spite of this the police thought they
had the right man, and believed that a
fight occurred in Everson's room, but not
in the manner that he says it did. Ac-
cortiing TO their ingenious theory Everson
took Stevens home, and they quarreled.
Everson fired and Stevens ran, and the
former, thinking that he might have hit
him, concluded to get up the burglar story.
In support of this theory they set forth
that Stevens wore black hat on the
night in question and q white one when
arrested.
On the same dav on which Stevens was
arrested Bolton Rogers and Sheriff Wool
cry arrested Frank Wilson after an excit-
ing chase. Bolton Rogers heard Everson
telling the story and thought that he
recognized the man. He accordingly set
out to find him. and met Sheriff Woolery
on the way. The search was continued
for three hours. and the man was at last
found in the last 'crib" on the left hand
side under the railway track and taken to
the county Jail. On the following morn
Ing Eyerson was called into Sheriff Wool
ery's Office and positively identified Will
son as the man. He was corroborated by
Wilson'S black eye and scratched face.
This of course completely disposes of
the ingenious theory by which the police
sought to Justify the arrest Of an innocent
man, and explains how outside assistance
was necessary to set them straight after
their blunder. 1t also explains their
hatred OF the man whose skill at finding
criminals is constantly putting them to
shame.
But a feeble defense was offered by the
p\soner, and the jury returned a verdict
OF Nlviction, after being absent but a
short time

"Hamlet" at Cordray'k.


The one Shakespearean tragedy that be-
yond all others can be presented with sue
cess, in popular sense, with even a weak
cast, is Hamlet" There is an sttraction
in this drama for the multitude, who have
little or no appreciation of its immortal
merit, that has always been a puzzle to
the critics and intelligent students OF the
great dramatist's works The reason can.

words of an eminent Shakespearean
scholar: "His (Hamlet's) i'm Projections
his errors, no less than his affections and
his passions are intensely human. They
appeal to the great heart ef man
kind; his intellectual superiority
to those around him, which
he feels himself no less than We do, is
never allowed to dominate his character
so as to paralyze his emotions or to fetter
his impulses. His philosophy is not of
that kind which sets him up on an emf
hence, whence he looks down with calm
and rational contempt on the Weaknesses
OF his fellow creatures. His skepgicism is
OF the most superficial nature. 1t is
mere film, so to speak, over his heart
which throbs with the Ienderest and the

TUE GAM APPEALS.
The Chinese Abduction Case to BE Tried
i'm the District Court.


United States Commissioner Spriggs re-
ceived. yesterday morning, a notice of ap-
peal to the United States district court in
the case of the United States against Tue
Gam. She is the woman who has been
called Mrs. ST IL Wing. and who was
bMught from Portland last week by Dep
uty United States Marshal West on a war
rant iAsued by Commissioner Spriggs
The charge was that she had been
brought into the country for purposes of
Prostitution.
Commissioner Spriggs was shown clip
pings from the Portland Oregonian, and
he pointed out several errors~in the story
Is there related. He says that the only
irreguarity in the case from beginning TO
end was the failure of Deputy Marshal
West 10 call upon the marshal of the Or
egon district to assist him in making the
arrest. This omission is by no means I'M
common. and he related several instances
as precedents for Deputy Marshal Vests
actions. He says that he has never known
OF an application being made to the COVER
nor for requisition papers. and that the
state has nothing TO do with the matter,
which 81 most Is merely q question be-
tween two districts of the United States
court. The only statutory provision in re-
gard to the matter is that where prisoner
Is in custody in one district, and the trial
Is to be had in another, the United Sta ties
Judge OF that district is authorized to issue
awarrant OF removal TO take the prisoner
to the district in which he is to be tried.
At the end of the trial Commissioner
spFiggs ordered Tue Gam to be deported
70 British Columbia, and her counsel, {.
Il. Holcomb was undecided whether to
reopen the case before Commissioner
spriggs or TO appeal the case to the district
| Judge
| The woman would have TO be deported
| within ten days AT q sentence unless an

/ noner Sprigcs offered 10 give her re-
4 hearing. her attor ney was afraid that the
tine would he too short 10 enable him TO
1 collect his witnesses some of whom would
have to come from San Francisco. Notice
| Of appeal was accordingly served on the
1 Commissioner yesterday morning. the eff
| feet Of which Will he that the case will be
tried de novo before Judge Hanford.
Just before he returned 10 Portland Hol-
comb prepared petition for writ of
habeas corpus TO be presented 10 Judge
Deadly At Portland. but 4 telegram was re-
eeIYed from him on Saturday evening, in
watch he says that Judge Deadly advised
MN TO take an appeal.
The woman Is At present in the county
hii, and Will probably remain there until
Judge Haniords return.

IS WHITE RIVER NAyIGABLE9
Reasons Why the Farce Should No
Longer BE tanned.

Reasons Why the Farce Should No
Longer BE Maintained.
The White River Journal "opens an inter-
esting question in the folowing editorial
from its last edition:
Is it not about time that the farce of keeping
White river, from the Duwang3sh to Richard
Jehs ranch, a nayigable streara about played
out? For years i, has not bees. such save in
name, very small craft only being able to worry
through among its sand drifts alsd suags. Time
was when there was use for small steamers TO
transport the hay and other produce OF the
ranches to Seattle. but the adven. of the North
ern Pacific railroad changed ali chat, and with
the new roads projected it can never be of the
least Importance as a commercial waterway.
Why not then the legislature declare it nom
nsvigable, and rid the people OF maintaining
lew high and costly bridges 10 no purpose? At
present there are but two bridges between the
railroad bridge south OF Kent and the
junction OF the Back river. One OF these,
the "Aivord' bridge, is sky-high affair,
difficult of crossing by heavily loaded teams,
ana now in very bad repair, ths other a draw
bridge that has been swung But twice in as
many years. Other crossings are needed to
meet the growing demand fey interchange
among the people of the two sidos of the river.
A bridge opposite Kent is badly needed today,
and it would be forthcoming aa once were it
not for the needless expense MADE necessary by
the navigation law. If there is anything ieasi-
bic IN the project for tuuneling me bluff to the
Sound for the purpose of preventing damage by
ireshets, the "pavigable water" h.lsness would
stand in the way Of its accomplishment for that
means lowering the river several feet.
White river is the pride of me valley, of
course, except when on a "boozs," but it will
be the same White river whets declared not
navigable that it is now. 1t will be just as i'm
portant az a great drainage artery, just as well
adapted to furnish power for manufacturing
purposes, just usefu> for navigation by the
canoes of the siwash hop pckers, and just as
beautiful in its "winding course +, the sea"

The new freight rate on wheat went into

The new rate is 2s954 cents per 1CO pounds, in
car load lots, from Spokane and all stations
west to the thirteenth siding (Krupp), lnclu-
sive. to Seattle. This rate is the same hereto
fore in effect from Spokane and other territory

will maintain the old rate.
