TO PROSECUTE MURDERER.
D. M. Parry Says He Will Avenge
Workman Killed by Uniorist.

Boston, Sept 26.-" will fight the
trade union principle as long as

died after having been assaulted on
the street by man supposed to be
union hod carrier.
That makes two Of my men that
have been killed because they did not
belong to a trades union,'' said Mr.
Parry. 1T looks as if they wanted
to kill the whole of them Off
Don't you employ union men, Mr.
Parry" he was asked.
81 never ask a man whether he be-
longs to a union or not. We don't dis
criminate; we never have and hope
We never will"
Don't you pay union wages?'
''That's the trouble. | pay darn
sight more. That's the trouble with
uniOnism; they want to level every.
thing downward. and if a man tries
to rise because of his own ability
they fine him. | believe a man should
have a chance to rise and be some
thing besides a workman all his life
That has always been the idea in this
country, but unionism seems to want
to kill off that idea
DO you propose to take any action
in this matter?"
'You may be sure we will. The
authorities will undoubtedly attend to
the matter, but we will do something

St. Paui's Annual Meeting.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 26.-In financial
and railroad circles much interest
centers in today's meeting of the
stockholders of the Chicago, Mi1wau-
kee & St. Paul road. The interest, as
far as the public is concerned, is
largely confined to the probable action
by the Rockefeller interest. AT the
meeting one year ago these interests
elected one member of the board of
directors to represent their holdings.
Since the meeting last year the Rock
feller interests have gr"atly strength
ned their holdings of st. Paul stock,
and it is believed probable they will
ask the election of another director

By Prosecuting Attor-
ney of ThurstonCo.
MOVES DISMISSAL OF TEST CASE
For Want Of Evidence to Convict
Appeal Won't Be Heard by
Supreme Court.
MOVES DISMISSAL OF TEST CASE

The gamblers of the state over
reached themselves in their attempt
to secure another test of the new
gambling law, without placing the lib
erty of one of their number in jeop-
ardy. Prosecuting Attorney Frank
Owings on Thursday at Olympia, filed
motion in the lower court to dismiss
the case against Otto Stuth, on the
ground that there was not sufficient
evidence to sustain the charge. The
motion was granted and Stuth has
been released from the county Jail.
1t is a we'll settled rule of the SUI
preme court that abstract questions
will not be considered, so when the
habeas corpus proceeding comes on
for hearing by the supreme court the
attorney general will move its dis
missal and the motion will undOubted-
ly be granted. The plan Of the gamb-
lers was to have Stuth arrested for
operating a money-paying slot ma
chine, and then have the complaining
witness disappear, then before the
case could come on in the lower court
apply to the supreme court for writ
of habeas corpus, attacking the con-
stitutionality of the act on the ground
that the subject matter and title do
not conform If the supreme court
upheld the law again Stuth would go
free when his case came up to trial
in the. lower court for lack of COM
planning witnesses.
