Slot Machine Case Will Be Urged to
Conclusion.

Seattle-The slot machine test
case against Harry Smith, formerly
Of Walla Walla, who was convicted
Saturday. in the superior court, Of
conducting a gambling game will be
rushed to a conclusion at the earliest
possible date. and with that purpose
in view the attorneys on both sides
have agreed to ask Judge Bell to
hear motions which are necessary to
perfect the appeal to the supreme
court 1t is assumed that the case will
go there. The defendant will appeal
as a matter Of course if he is senten-
ced for felony, and the state if the
court holds the Offense to be merely
a misdemeanOr
Judge Bell expects to leave the
city for a months vacation and for
that reason he VIII be asked to dis
pose of the matter so far as the SUI
perior court is concerned, before go
ing away.
If the court should hold that the Of
Tense is reached only by the slot ma
chine law and not by the general
gambling statute, the prosecution will
undoubtedly appeal from the ruling.
If sentenced under the felony law the
defendant will appeal.
Attorneys generally agree in the
opinion that the issue hinges on the
question which Of the two acts was
passed first According TO the ac
cepted rule Of construction the later
statute controls. If, as is claimed
the two must be regarded as enacted
simultaneously, because passed Oh the
same day. the problem which is to
govern becomes more perpleXing.
The slot machine men are DESTROYS
Of having the matter settled. The
saloons and cigar stands are losing
money steadily. the keepers saE. The
prOprietOrs admit freely that the slot
machines are a great stimulus to
trade, and they are uneasy when they
reflect that their Spokane brethren
have been running the trade machines
without a days CESSATION The Seat
tie men are not quite prepared to take
such a chance.
The number who profit by the ma
chimes is large. Two men were eX-
cused from the jury which tried
Smith, because they were interested
in the issue. One had been operating
machine. and the other confessed to
prejudice against the law because

SUPERINTENDENT UPHELD.

Olympia. Wash.-State SuperIntend-
ent r. B. Bryan has rendered an opln-
ion in which he uphOlds County Su-
perintendent T. n. Henry of this cOun-
ty in his position taken with regard
to the discretion a county superln-
tendent has in the matter Of approval
of a teachers contract with board
Of directors.
1t is Superintendent Bryan's opin-
ion that the powers Of the county su-
perintendent of schools are distinctly
limited by law. He holds 1t is the
duty OF such officer to approve and
register a contract made by board
of directors with a teacher, provided
the teacher has a legal certificate val
id during the time of the contract
The law makes it the duty Of the
boards of directors to contract with
teachers. and such contract must be III
conformity with the laws OF the state
This. he holds, is mandatory.
Further. he holds that the provision
requiring the county superintendent
to approve and register the contract
is plainly for the purpose OF providing
that no teacher may be employed IL
legally and without the knowledge OF
the superintendent. The reason TOR
this is clearly that as the teacher S
certificate must be registered in the
county superintendent office, II is
within his power to detect any viola
ton of the law in the making of a
contract. No county superintendent
has a right to annul or prevent a con-
tract regularly made between direc-
tors and teacher having the right to
contract.

Suicide of Young Girl In Stevens
County.

Colville.-Miss Phillip Smith, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Smith, committed suicide Wednesday
afternoon by taking strychnine, and
died within an hour after taking the
fatal dose. Miss Smith was 10 years
Of age, a comely young girl and pOpu-
lar with the young people Of the COM
munity, and why she resOrted to this
rash act Of terminating her existence
has not been fully explained. Her
parents are among the most highly
respected. influential citizens OF the
county, and Mr.. Smith, for the past
two years, until a few months ago,
was superintendent of the poor farm,
which is four miles east of this city.
While the family resided at the poor
farm, about two years ago, this
daughter contracted marriage with
a young man living in the neighbour
hood by the name of Bert Blair. The
young couple elOped as far as Myers
Falls and were there OVertaken within
a few minutes after the ceremony had
been performed by the minister and
the young girl was Immediately re
turned to the family roof. Very soon
afterwards this marriage contract was
annulled by a decree rendered in the
supriOr court. upon the grounds that
the young lady was under age and had
not the consent Of her parents.
Miss Phillip has remained at home
since then, but it is said that her love
for her former fiance has never been
assuaged, and IL is presumed her mind
has been unbalanced through the long
period of disappointment. The trag-
edy took place at the home of her pa
rents, near Addy.

over ivory white satin as it's ground
work. Here and there were touches
of rare old lace, just enough to give
character to the gown without taking
away any of its light, airy effect. The
skirt was clinging, and the bodice cut
high. The yoke and the upper part of
the sleeves were of the same beauti-
full lace, while the lower part fell in a
great puff of delicate chiffon. The
wedding veil was of tulle, and around
the brides neck shown respondent the
gorgeous string of great pearls given
her by the bridegroom.
During the ceremony selections from
Romeo and Juliet" were played soft
ly, and as the bridal party filed out
of the parlors into the main foyer
there was played the Grand March
from Aida" by Verdi. The spectacle
at this point was most imposing and
presented one of the prettiest pictures
imaginable. The display of gowns and
jewels worn by some of the guests
helped to make the scene one of mar
velous brilliancy.
After the ceremony was over and
the young couple had received the
first onslaught of congratulations the
guests repaired to the superb dining
room where a magnificent wedding
breakfast was served by Russell, fam
GUS as the proprietor of the Newport
Casino. Throughout the breakfast
and the reception the orchestra fur
nished exquisite music.
At 3 o'clock the majority of the
guests, who had come from New York,
left for that city by special boat. The
bride and bridegroom are to take a
honeymoon trip to the West. Later
they will go abroad.
The bridegroom gave the best man
and ushers scarfpins of handsome de-
sign, set in sapphires and diamonds.
The wedding presents occupied four
rooms on the second floor of the Ar
leigh cottage, They consisted of cost
ly and rare jewels, works of art, and
bric-a-brac of every description. Mrs.
Vanderbilt. mother of the bridegroom,
gave the bride superb set of dia-
monds, tiara and collar, made in the
same pattern. and also a priceless
string of diamonds and rubies An
other of Mrs. Vanderbilt's gifts was a
complete set of table silver. Other
costly gifts included two massive sill

WHAT THE NAUGHTY
WIND DID.

OF course 1t was a sin to laugh, or
even look when the dear girl was in
so much trouble-but man is a brute
anyway, and if he does walk on two
feet instead of four he cannot always
look the other way, when the wind is
blowing (he might get dust in his
eyes)
The young lady had evidently
stopped in during the morning. and had
failed to read the weather report, con-
sequently the impudent swish of the
winds had not been provided against.
She had on a most becoming Easter
hAt-a regular love with brim enough
for an awning and flowers that would
have jolted a twenty into small change
if purchased at the florists. Her dam
ty white waist was just too sweet for
description and the blue skirt had
train guaranteed to brush up an aver
age sidewalk in one trip. 1t was trou-
BILE at once to keep the hat on, and the
skirt off the ground, but with both lit
tie hands she managed fairly well.
1t was on the home stretch that she
lost out, for she had made two pur-
chases on Broughton street, and these
had to be carried. The wicked wind
saw his chance and with swoop and
a howl he grabbed her hat. 1t couldn't
quite get away but raised up few
inches, pulled her hair all awry and
settled back over one eye.
With something that might have
been a French benediction she
made for a corner and in the
plate glass window surveyed the
trouble. Letting go her train she put
down the bundles and began to drive
spikes through the hat, with just sug-
gestion of vindictiveness.
It was another inning for the
wind, and he fairly churtled as
he got hold of the blue skirt
and turned it wrongslde out with
one twist. She let go the hat and
yelled the scarlet with blue-not to
mention the bit of lace openwork that
showed above her patent feathers. The
hat went off again. Back to the head
piece with both hands and Mr.. Wind
made another display, this time 1t was
red, white and blue, and an American
eagle on a nearby armory forgot his
dignity and crew like bantam.
That was too much and Selling her
bundles, her hat and her skirts she
fed. Leaving few heartless specta-
