B. Brandeis. dentist, of having been
hired by his wife to kill him or al
least to do him bodily harm, have
been held in the police court, without
bail, until next Saturday. Behind the
court proceedings there is story OF
romance, revenge, love, hate, cruelty
and much mystery.
Seven months ago Miss Rosenblat'
came from Winnipeg to visit relatives
here. She met DR.. Brandeis, fell IN
love with and married him after a
brief courtship. Two weeks after the
marriage the bride complained to the
police of cruel treatment by the
bridegroom. Since then the police
books have been lined with the

HEALTH BOARD INVESTIGATING.
Will Ascertain Nature of Sickness at
North Yakima.

North Yakima. Wash.-The state
board Of health is in this city making
an examination to determine whether
there is an epidemic of typhoid fever
here. Those who have charge Of the
work are DR.. Elmer E. Heg, secretary
of the board; DR.. Charles Ford, of the
marine corps, and DR.. Semple, of Spo-
kane. They arrived here this morn
ing, and will remain until Monday, or
possibly longer. A peculiar situation
exists here relative to the fever cases
reported. The physicians are about
equally divided on the question. All
the old physicians say the fever is
nothing but malaria, caused by irri-
cation and stirring up of new land,
while the new physicians are conf
dent in their declaration that the
fever in nineteenth of the cases is ty-
phoid.
To settle the question, DR.. Wells,
Dr.. Fletcher and DR.. Lynch petitioned
the state board to make an exammina-
ton. The action was precipitated
when three weeks ago the city AMI
county health officers protested
against sending the reports of the
young doctors containing the cases of
typhoid to the state board. They
thought an investigation necessary.

Whacom, Wash, Oct. 26-State
Fish Commissioner Kershaw returned
here today from the east after an alb
sence of about six weeks. The pri-
mary object of the trip was to nego-
tate with the officials of the Ameri-
can and Canadian governments with
a view Of the establishment of an in
ternational sockeye hatchery on the
Fraser river in British Columbia. Mr.
Kershaw denies the report sent out
from Washington, D. c., as to the pro-
gress he was making in the matter.
In an interview he says:
Assistant Secretary of State Adee
told me a good deal of preliminary
work would have to be done before
an international hatchery could be es-
tablished on the Fraser river, even
should the consent of the Canadian
government be obtained Fish Com
missioner Bowers of the federal fish
department, denies that he has in any

International hatchery, and is willing

RULING RELATING TO FRAUDS.
Judge Hanford Makes an important
Decision.

! Spokane-United States District
Judge Hanford, in a case before hin
here, laid down the principle that the
regulations Of the different depart
ments of the government are not laws
in the sense that violation of then
could be punished as felony.
The decision was made In the case
of Charles D. OFT of Portland, who
was prosecuted for perjury alleged tc
have been committed in the making
of afidavits in relation to his attempt
to make a Communication of home
stead entry on lands situated near
Prosser, Wash. The affidavit which
was alleged to be false was made
according to the requirements of the
interior department, but was not re-
quired by any act of congress.
Judge Hanford laid down the prop.
osition very broadly that no regula
ton of any department of government
could be law. 1t might be necessary
for the applicant who wished to secure
some right to follow such regulation
but the regulation itself is not law
and any violation of it could not be
punished as a felony. Only congress
itself was able to make laws.
1t is held that OFT, under the in
dictment and proofs, could not be
held. He was tried with Edward V.
Williamson. a merchant Of PrOsser
who sWOre to affidavits that OFT had
lived on the land and made improve
ments as required by law The in
diCtment in his case was attacked and
Judge HanfOrd has taken that the
matter under advisement
The testimony in the case, as pro-
duced by the prosecution, was to the
effect that OFT was living in Portland
and working for Williamson all the
time he had sworn that he had lived
on the land and that his mOther-in-la NV
Mrs. Mary Adams, had lived with him.
She is a woman Y years of age and
has made homestead claim adjoining
Otis.
The testimony was to the effect that
one of the cabins appeared never to
have been occupied, and that the
other had been occupied by a dead
horse a large part Of the time that
claimants had sworn that they had
lived there.
