pEppLER LAW DECLARED VOID
Chief Woydt Ordered BY Judge to Re-
lease Thomas Camp.

SPOKANE, Wash.-The new ped
pdlers ordinance, excluding peddlers
from the downtown district in the fire
limits, has been declared void by Judge
KEENAN,, and Chief Woydt has been or
dered to release Thomas Camp from
custody. This ordinance was passed
at the instance of Chief Woydt. and
has been the author of many Of his
troubles. Before the law passed, Mr..
woydt issued an order prohibiting ped
ding within the fire limits, and it was
over that order he had the row in
which he slugged Thomas Golden and
was fined $40 in the justice court.
The ordinance subsequently passed
and Golden and Camp combined to try
to break it. Camp was arrested for
violation of it and was fined IS and
costs by Justice Hinkle. The superior
court was asked for a writ of habeas
corpus, but it was first refused on tech
nical grounds. The court was again
petitioned, and Judge KEENAN, heard
the argument yesterday.
The court held that the charter pro-
vision granting the council power to
license and control peddling within the
city limits did not give it power to pro-
hibit it altogether, and that part of the
ordinance prohibiting peddling within
the fire limits was void. E. o. Conner
appeared for the city and says the case
may be appealed Munter, & Joseph
appeared for Camp.

GOOTCH is AN ASSASSIN
Confesses He Is wanted In New
Mexico.

EVERETT, Wash.-B. F GOotch,
murder of Ross in the fall of 1902, is
under arrest here in the county Jail.
Gootch applied for work at the county
poor house Thursday night. Super
intendent Wainwright who holds a
commission as a deputy sheriff, invited
him to have supper Gootch said he was
a preacher and asked permission to
talk to the inmates. This was grant
ed. and Wainwright placed him I'M
der arrest on suspicion of being the
Seattle curbstone preacher who eloped
with the mother of six children early
this week. Crotch protested, and fl
nally confessed that he was wanted for
murder in Silver City. He has since
made signed confession, in which he
says he deliberately killed a man
named Ross and then committed per-
jury in the preliminary examination in
swearing that Ross had first attacked
him with a pitchfork.
Grootch was released on $4,000 bail
and jumped his bail just before the
time for the trial. Gootch hays he
was worth $4,000.
Ross was his tenant. They quarrel
ed, and he shot him four or five times
when Ross was running away from
him.
Crotch says he has been converted,
and knows he is guilty of murder and
perjury, and stands ready to go back
to Silver City and face the conse-
Auences.
Silver City authorities have advised
sheriff Brewer to hold Crotch.

YOUTHS EGG YOUNG WOMAN

/, CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 22.-Pro-
renee Scientific school, threatens to
discontinue his lectures in geology un-
less there is less rowdyism among the
students. No indignity has been offer
ed directly to him but a young wo-
man teacher, who is taking post
graduate course, and who acted as a
substitute for Professor Shaler in CIV
ing a review of his lectures during the
week prior to the examination of Nov.
80, was made a target for eggs, copper
cents, chalk, books, old shoes and
other missiles. The outbreak began
the first day and the substitute prompt
ly adjourned the class.
On the following Wednesday the
substitute again appeared and at
tempted to lecture, this time the stu
dents were less particular as. to what
was thrown and books and shoes
formed part of the ammunition. FL
nally two eggs were hurled. One
struck the screen on which the Ian
tern slides were being thrown and the
other landed on the floor directly at
the feet of the lecturer.
The matter was reported to Profess
sor Shaler and the following Monday
he appeared before the 600 students
of the geology course and said that he
had been instructor at the institution
for more than thirty years and dur
| ing that time he had been accustomed
to deal with gentlemen. He became
very much excited and went on to say
that for the last two or three years
classes of 'loafers'' had been coming
into college. and that as result OF
their actions he could not and would
not continue his lectures in the geol-
Ogy course
