Hearing ~ 1oAaises's CAaexo q n.
Essste0sst Agslnss otsp0as.
Justsse Caldwell was busy yesterday
afseruson listening to evidence In the case
o. H. Stephan. Who il charged by C. T.
6chmisss with embexxiement by larceny.
The cazs originated In 1890 when every
body vas buying suburban lots.
The property in question lies In West
Seattle and was placed in the hands Of
Stephan By Schmitte 20 sell. The former
vas empowered by the contract to sell the
property - agent. bat was not vested
with T.swer to transfer. The papers. how
ever. s.,at we're brought into court show
that sepman and his wife entered into an
agresn,ens with Henry wettkamp. Of
Nswcsstle. representing themselves ~
piincis gals. not agents. In the transaction.
The ssm Of $500 was received BY Stephan
- TART payment for tho property. which
vas thsn valued 1t t600 Not one cent Of
the $50 was turned over TO Schmitte and
Wettxsmp has never received deed for
his property. Attorney Robbins, who
represented Stephan. made the point that.
- this property WAS SIN in the name OF
Schmstte. he had not suffered by Step
man's actions and therefore had no cause
for acsson. Justice Caldwell took the case
under advisement. after remarking that
he Wxs satisfied in HE own mind that
there lad been crooked work In the deal,
but. as TO the action having been brought
by the wrong man. he would defer his
iudensfnt.
Wssskamp. Who 10 the real sufferer BY
the Transaction, expressed his intention
yesterday to bring an action against Step
man.

AN EXPENSIVE LESSON.

After two weeks of fruitless effort TO
compel the managers OF the road to
accede to their demands the Santa Fe
strikers, or rather their leaders who are
primarily responsible for the trouble did,
agreed TO quit their foolishness and re-
turn to work under the conditions that
existed wien the men quiz work. OF
course the company has been inconven-
fenced and suffered considerable loss by
the strike, but the greatest losers are the
men who quit work. They are not only
out the amount of the two weeks wages,
but they have lost prestige as individual
workmen and as an organization. The
strike was a dead failure, just as a
majority of such movements are, and
this fact will weaken the confidence of
its own members in its ability TO protect
and defend their interests hereafter Il
will be easier for the members Of the
organization to be imposed upon in the
future, and harder to induce them TO re-
slst entertainments ii any should be at
tempted. Ii was an expensive lesson.
