THEY Want JUDGE
MARTINS SCALP.

Judge G. V. Martin of the circuit
court of Okanogan, Chelan, Douglas
and Ferry counties has trouble ahead
Judge Martin aroused the ire of the
citizens of Okanogan county recently
by his actions in murder case, which
was tried before him. The case was
one of cold -blooded murder and, under
instructions of the judge, the jury
brought in verdict of manslaughter.
The defendant in the case was prom
inently connected with an eminent jur-
list from the east, who appeared to
defend him. Judge Martin then capped
the climax by imposing the minimum
sentence Of one year.
The feeling in the county is very
bitter at present and the citizens are
taking steps to have the governor re-
move Judge Martin. As the latter is
an appointee of Governor Mcbride, it
is within the power of the executive
to remove him and to this end pressure
will be brought to bear from the va
rious counties in his circuit, as well
as by Spokane attorneys who have
been interested in the matter. 1t is
alleged that during the term Of Judge
Martins Office there have been many
miscarriages of justice and general
charge of incompetency will be filed
against him. At present the citizens
of Okanogan county feel that they have

No one in all England is fonder of
giving presents than King Edward, and
no one displays better taste in their
selection. To his many intimate friends
he gives dainty little jeweled pencil
cases of enamel, tortoise shell and dia-
mond knickknacks, bangles and uncom-
mon lucky charms. Cigar cases and
cigarette holders are also among his
favorite gifts. Queen Alexandra usu-
ally remembers her favored acquan-
tances with her photographs framed in
chiseled gilt and some of them bearing
her monographs in briliants. The queen
takes the greatest pains TO buy suita-
BILE gifts for all kinds of people. and
like the late Queen Victoria she takes
pleasure in remembering her household
servants and the tenants at Sandrins

tates with useful presents such as arti-

Steel Trust Economies 8.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec l2.-Today's
conference between the officials of the
United States Steel corporation and the
heads of the constituent companies are
for the purpose of settling the details
of the wage reduction which has been
decided is necessary in view of the
condition of the steel market. From
a reliable source it is learned that the
reduction will affect all departments
and include managers and all office
help as well as the thousands of men
employed in the mills. In those mills
employing union men there is an agree
ment between the company and the
Amalgamated association prohibiting a
change in wages until the agreement eN-
pires. 1t is expected, however, that
the Amalgamated association will make
wage concessions satisfactory to the
company. Should the association de-
cline to make such concessions it is
expected that the corporation will meet
the difficulty by closing down the union
plants and running the non-union mills.
which, at reduced wages, would be
less expensive to operate.

CERTAIN TO WIN

The boss plumbers in statement
to the public this morning made clear
their position during the strike of
their employees for an increase In
wages from SIS to $3.50 per day of
eight hours. Some of the statements
then made are by the plumbers claim
ed to be untrue. particularly where
they say the plumbers would take
twice the time for a job that a fair
ly skilled workman would.
They claim they are confident as
ever OF winning this strike. notwith-
standing the published statements OF
the master plumbers association that
they will not grant the demands of
the strikers. The boss plumbers
have appealed to the public for their
support and the union also claims
the support of the public.
The action of the union last night
in requesting all who had gone on

Polly, who for long time amused

CHICAGO WOMEN

NEITHER GARMENTS

the presiding officer made humorous
remark. This brought on a discussion
about mems trousers in general, and
it was found that there was a striking
unanimity of opinion about the style
of the covering for male legs.
This opinion was that trousers az at
present fashioned are inartistic, even
though men may agree that they are
comfortable. One Of the women des-
cribed them as resembling couple Of
meal sacks tied together at the waist.
A young member, who timidly confess
ed that she did her husbands press
work on his trousers every morning be-
fore he started for work, ventured fhe
opinion that the habit Of creasing the
trousers had robbed them Of many
objections, but she agreed that trqnsef
as they are built are anything but
graceful. a<.s

the demand for toys, France, Germany

quite overshadow the British made ar

far the largest quantities of the cheap
