Three Seattle Officials Reported
to Have Been Indicted by
Grand Jury.

Seattle, March 1.-THE Post Intel.
ligencer this morning says:
Thomas j. Humes, mayor of Saettle !;
John Sullivan, chief of police and Wal
ter S. Fulton, lately prosecuting attor-
ney for King county, have been, accord
ing to we'll Observation-Disclosures, indict-
ed by the grand jury. The charge
against each is said to be malfeasance
in office, based upon the opinion Of the
grand jurymen that they failed and
neglected. to enforce the ordinances of
the city and the laws of the state in re-
gard to gambling and other illegal acts.
The three indictments and a number
of lesser Importance were voted yester-
day afternoon, about 4 o'clock, it is
stated. Prosecuting Attorney Scott was
instructed to draw the forms, and then
the warrants of arrest will be served
on the head of the municipal govern
ment, the head of the city police de-
partment, and the former prosecuting
attorney, providing, of course, that the
grand jury does not withdraw the
charges at the last minute. Such was
the case recently with the indictment
of George U. Piper, which, it is said,
was recalled and is still under consid-

GIVES INJUNCTION A ROAST
Judge Tuley Comments on Wabash
Move at st. Louis.

Move at st. Louis.
Chicago. March 12.-The Daily News
prints the following:
"We will reap whirlwind some day
from the seeds SO sown."
Such was the declaration of Judge
Tuiey in commenting upon the injunc-
tion issued by Judge Adams of the fed
eral cour: at st. Louis, directed against
the officers and rank and file of union
men employed uopn the Wabash rail
road. The injunction absolutely for
bids the men from going on a strike.
1t is the most sweeping court order ever
issued in strike in the United States,
and it's effect leaves the men in guam
Diary, as they cannot strike without be-
ing in contempt.
Following is Judge Tuley's caustic
arraignment of the action of Judge Ad-
ans:
II am not SURPRISED at any injunc-
ton of any kind being issued. | regret
it very much, because believe that the
issuing of such writs of injunction
brings the administrator of Justice in
to contempt. 1t breeds discontent, and
we will reap the whirlwind some day
from the seeds so sown.
"The day may come in the not dis
tant future when the working classes
will have control politically and will
appoint judges who will also issue writs
of in unction-in their favor. ] see no
reason why writ of injunction should
not as we'll issue against railroad en-
joining it from discharging any en-
ploye or from failing to pay such en-
ployes certain fixed rate of wages.
1t would DO no greater departure from
the true principles that ought to govern
when issuing such writs.
"We judges are getting to be the
whole thing in government. We are
approaching condition that will be
without precedent in the history of the
world, in which the governing power
will be exercised by the judges, with
the executives and legislators as mere
tigureheads in carrying on the govern.
ment.
at is time to call halt"

TERROR TO WKONGDOERS.
Cumulative Punishment Bill Passed
by the Legislature.

Olympia, March l2.-The terms OF
the cumulative punishment bill, passed
by the legislature shortly before adj
journment, are very severe. For in
stance, upon PERSONS third conviction
for felony he may be sentenced, as a
habitual criminal. to life imprisonment
in the state penitentiary. Persons con,
victed OF petit larceny may be found
guilty of felony tor subsequent Of
lenses.
The police departments of the large
cities complain that their principal
trouble arises from the class of petty
criminals who are continually being ar
rested for petit larceny. A strong effort
was made at this session to secure the
passage of an act which would enable
the police departments to deal more
harshly with such habitual criminals,
ana Senator Pc tts secured an amend
ment to the house bill applying to lar.
cenies, and in this form the measure
passed. Thus both classes of criminal Is
are dealt with.

MR.. MORGAN GAINS A POINT IN
TREATY MATTER.
Senate Votes to Attach Spooner Act
In Its Entirety to the Panama
Canal Taeaty--Mr. Lodge Urges 1t,
as 1t Would Not in Any Event Do
Any Harm.

Washington, March II. - Senator
Morgan has secured the first material
concession that has been made to him
Panama canal treaty with Colombia.
This consisted of an agreement to attach
the Spooner canal act bodily to the
treaty. This change was made in COM
pliance with a request presented by
Senator Lodge during the executive ses-
sion of the senate. as the necessity for
it had been discussed by Mr.. Morgan
and other members of the senate COM
mittee Mr.. Daniel expressed the
opinion that as the preamble of the
treaty calls for the attachment of a copy
OF the act, that attachment was neces-
sary to preserve the terms OF the dOcu-
ment intact. Senator Morgan contend
ed that without this attachment the
treaty was absolutely invalid. Sena
tors Teller and Hoar took the opposite
view, urging that as the act was in ex-
istence and OF record the physical at
tachment was of no consequence what
ever. Senator Lodge suggested, how
ever, that no injury could result from
the attachment of the act, aud unani-
nous consent was given to do SO. 1t
was specifically stipulated, however,
that this concession did not amount to
an amendment OF the treaty.
Senator Morgan consumed the entire
time of the remainder of the executive
session discussing the canal question
g. nd ~
over much ground that he had already
covered. Most of his speech was writ
ten, and Senator Cullom asked HIM if
the speech he was reading was a new
one or an old one. He replied with
some manifestation of vexation that it
was new, saying that he did not have
to repeat his addresses. He discussed
particularly the attitude of the 18TH
mian canal commission and criticised
to some extent the change of view ia
ken by that commission in its last re.
port. He also dwelt on the variation
of the terms of the treaty with those of
the Spooner law.
During the progress of his address
Senator Morgan expressed desire to
have copies of the correspondence be-
tween the United States government
and the new Panama Canal company
bearing on the acceptance of the option
given by that company to the United
States to purchase the canal for $40,-
600, 900, and the senate consented to
request the secretary of state for the
correspondence.

DATE SET FOR VOTE.
Believed Senate will Adjourn With.
in Week.

Washington, March l3.-There were
important developments during the day
regarding the treaties pending in the
senate. 1t was decided to vote on the
Panama canal treaty on Tuesday, and
the Cuban reciprocity treaty was re-
ported to the senate by the committee
on foreign relations. The end of the
work for which the extra session was
called is, therefore. in sight The
agreement to vote on the canal treaty
was arrived at soon after the senate as.
sembled at noon, and without discus
sion of moment. The terms had been
made satisfactory to Senator Morgan
before the request to fix day for the
vote was preferred by Senator Frye, so
thai the former had DO objection.
The Cuban treaty, with various
amendments agreed on by the commit
tee on foreign relations, was reported
by Mr.. Cullom, and, at his request, it
was read for the information of the sem
ate. The reading was followed by a
formal request by Mr.. Cullom to take
up the Cuban treaty for discussion, but
while this was denied, still the greater
part OF the session was devoted to it..
The amendments made include, in adj
dition to those of last session, a provi-
sion requiring the approval of the
house of representatives to make the
treaty effective.
With the adoption of this amendment
the Democrats as a body will probably
cease opposition to the Cuban treaty,
but some of them, the sugar interests
of whose states are affected by the trea-
ty, will continue to oppose it. The Re-
publican side of the senate will vote
practi :ally, if not absolutely, solidly
for the treaty, and it is now generally
believed that it will be ratified after
action on the Panama treaty.
Individual Democratic senators will
offer number of amendments to the
canal treaty, and they will unite in
pressing some of them. but if they
should be voted down, as seems likely,
a number of Democrats will vote for
the ratification of the treaty. The pro-
gramme as outlined leads many sena-
tors to predict an adjournment by the
close of next week.
The action of the committee on COM
MERGE in postponing a vote on the
nomination of DR.. Crum, which also
took place during the day, is generally
looked upon as disposing of the matter
for this session.

CUBAN TREATY
PRESIDENT EXPECTED TO CALL
CONGRESS TOGETHER
For the Purpose of Approving the
Cuban Reciprocity Treaty..-Held
That Action BY the House Is
Necessary Because Revenue Is
Involved,

Washington, March l3.--It is stated
that President Roosevelt will call the
Fiftyeighth congress in session in the
autumn, probably on Oct. l, for the
purpose of having joint concurrent
resolution passed approving the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, which will probably
be ratified by the senate during the
coming week. If the present extra SEES
sion of the senate should adjourn with
out action on the reciprocity treaty,
congress would be called at once, as the
late fall is the time for marketing the
bulk of the Cuban sugar crop. 1t is
thought that by meeting in October,
congress can pass the legislation neces-
sary to put the treaty into effect in time
to give the planters the benefit of the
new tariff rates during the present year

FOR STUDY OF CHINESE.
Schools to Be Established to Teach
Languages.

Vancouver, b. c., March 13.-Four
hundred delegates are in attendance at
the Chinese Empire Reform Associa-
ton of British Columbia, the annual
meeting of which opeend during the
afternoon. The association decided to
erect large headquarters building here
and to open Chinese day and night
schools, not to teach English, but Chi
nese. The schools are to be especially
for the education of Chinese youths,
but will also be open to Europeans who
desire to learn the Chinese language
and literature.
1t is proposed to appoint a highly
educated and up to date teacher, espe-
cially versed in present lay Chinese lit
erature.
Under the new system it is claimed
that fairly complete education in the
Chinese language may be given in five
instead of ten years, as formerly.

TAMPERED WITH.
Slot Machine Bill Found to Be In
correctly Enrolled.

Olympia, March I2.-The discovery
has been made that the slot machine
bill had been incorrectly enrolled
probably designedly 80. Secretary OF
State Sam H. Nichols found that the
enrolled bill refers to the wrong Sec
ton. Instead of amending section 149
the enrolled bill refers to section 1859,
of the session laws of 1901. Attorneys
insist this will not invalidate the bill.
Since there was reason to believe the
gambling bill was not treated family in
the enrolling room friends of the two
bills are suspicious over the circum-
stances.

Company have come to an agreement
by which the Postal will build line OF
wire on the Union Pacific right OF way

in said corporation for the year then
ensuing as shown by the assessment
roll for said year, including all special
assessments and taxes assessed"
The following section, No 1880, is
however, slightly different. 1t is in
part as follows:
The assessor shall assess all prom
erty in and collect the tax for all cities,
towns and villages, in his county, ex-
cept the special taxes in cities"
Fees For Collection -.
For these services of the assessor,
the county receives one and one-half
per cent of all such city taxes collected.
In this county these fees, for Boise
CITY, Meridian and South Boise villages.
and the Independent school districts of
Meridian and South Boise, bring in
about $1,000 revenue to the county.
The collection of the taxes, other
than the regular county and state
taxes, entails a great deal of extra
labor upon the working force of the as
SCISSORS offices in those counties where
cities and villages and independent
school districts exist.
The commissioners in Ada county
have raised the salary of the assessor
to the highest amount authorized by
Iaw-SS,OOO, including all his clerical
assistance-in order to compensate him
Tor this extra trouble. Should it be de-
cided that he must collect the side
walk sewer and paving assessments of
the cities, in addition to his present du-
ties no further increase in his salary
is permissible under the law.

Curious Habits of Spiders

The water spider carries air down
with it when it dives. DR.. McCook
saw one remain forty-five minutes un-
der the water. One water spider builds
a nest under the water attached to the
stem of some plant and in the shape of
diving bell, with the opening down
ward. 1t fills this bell with air by TAX.
ing down bubble at time. Coming
to the surface, it incloses an air bubble
under its body and instantly descends.
Getting under the nest, the bubble is
allowed to escape into it, and this proc
ess continues until the nest is full of
air. The spider then lays it's eggs
there, inclosed in cocoon, and leaves
them to grow in this under water pal
ace, safe from all flying foes. When
these water spiders are seen under wa
ter. they look like little balls of shining
silver. Little bubbles of air seem to
cling among the hairs of their bodies.
AS spiders, like insects, breathe the air
at little holes along the whole length
of the body, they can easily make use
of these bubbles of air for breathing

The Knocker

You may put your whole soul in your
work if you will.
But he voice of the knocker will follow
you still;
You may labor from dawn till the stars
rise at night
You may try to treat every one justly
and right;
You may fray out your nerves doing
that which you ought,
But the knocker will bring all your
efforts to naught.
What you have accomplished will give
him no pause.
With an eye microscopic he'll pick out
the flaws.
If you've painted a picture that's won
you fair fame.
The knocker will point at a scratch on
the frame;
If you've written a story that's brought
you renown,
At its length or it's brevity he's sure to
frown
If you've been piling bricks; with a
manner elate
He'll tell your employer you've not
piled them straight;
If you quietly give to the needy and
poor
He'll say that you seek notoriety, sure
He always is busy with others affairs,
Your errors to him are the gravest of
cares,
And whatever omissions he happens
across
He'll hasten to tell to the ears of the
boss.
The moat in your eye he so often has
shown;
He's completely forgotten the beam in
his own;
And he never can see. for his eyes are
so small,
It's himself he is knocking the hardest
of all.

It was Professor Hufeland's opinion
that the limit of possible human life

all living creatures is eight times the
years, months or weeks of its period of
growth. That which quickly comes to
maturity quickly perishes, and the ear
Ber complete development is reached
tie sooner bodily decay ensues. More
women reach old age than men, but
more men attain remarkable longevity
than women. Horned animals are short

fierce longer than timid and amphibi-
Gus creatures longer than those which
inhabit the air. The pike will continue
to live for 100 or 10 years, and the

Agreed State of Facts

Ihere was no dispute regarding the
facts in the case. as the suit was sub
mitted upon an agreed state of facts,
and the decision of the court hinges
entirely upon the legal points pre-
scented.
The decision of the court. if af-
tirmed by the supreme court. will de-
termine the policy upon the question
of practically every city and village in
the state, nearly all of which have lev
led such special assessments at various
times. For this reason, the case is an
important one, and the decision is
awaited with much interest.
Legal Contradiction
The act of the legislature governing
the collection of such assessments pre-
sents an apparent contradiction, one
section especially providing for the
county tax collector collecting all spe-
cial assessments, while another just as
carefully excludes the collection of spe-
cial city taxes from his duties.
The statute directing the collection
OF city and village taxes by the county
tax collector was passed late in the
session of 1901, and has been operative
during only one year as yet-i902. The
same rule will be followed the present
year, however.
Section 1880 of the Political Code.
which contains the provision. reads in
part as follows:
THE council or trustees of each city
or village shall at the time provided
by law, cause to be certified to the
county tax collector the percentage or
of mills on the dollar of tax
levied for all city or village purposes
