CANAL RIGHT-oF-wAY AGAIN.
Triding Errors Discovered in Con-
demuntiou PAPERS.

There is still slight hitch I'm the mat
ter OF securing the right-of-way for the
government ship canal between Salmon
bay and Lake Washington. At the Cham
Der OF Commerce meeting yesterday Judge
j. T. Hoyt representing United States
Attorney Gay. reported that the latter had
authorized him to say to the Chamber
that late Saturday night he had finished
his examination OF the right-of-way pa
pers submitted by Prosecuting Attorney
McElroy. representing the county, and had
found a number OF small but easily rem
edied errors These had been reported 20
Mr. McElroy. but the latter had not yet
corrected them.
Judge Hoyt told the Chamber that until
MIR McElroy acted the papers could not
be sent TO the secretary OF war BY Mr.,
Gay. and that the correction Of the err
rnrs should be attended TO at once.
The committee on the Lake Washington
canal was instructed to investigate and
report.
il was stated at the meeting that MIR
McElroy had for several days been per-
sonally engaged In the prosecution OF
murder case, and would no doubt give
the canal papers his attention as soon as
the trial was finished

which the witness swore Johnson used.
The balance of the childs evidence was
of such a nature as to be unfit for pub
LEGATION.
Emma Moore, who said she frequently
visited the Barker household to see Adj
die, corroborated the previous witness
version of the attack upon Barker. She
also swore that the deceased had attempt
ed to subject her to the same treatment
he is alleged to have attempted upon
Barkers daughter,
Lodie Barker, who was present at the
saloon at the time the preliminary fight
was transpiring. told in effect what has
already been published concerning the af-
fair Prosecuting Attorney McElroy ask
ed the witness an impeaching question
concerning her occupation, which she re-
fused to answer on the ground that it
would eliminate her.
1t is understood that the state will to-
day introduce considerable evidence in re-
buttal 1t does not now seem probable
that the case will go to the jury before
tonight.
