ARRESTED FOR
ROASTING MAYOR

Lese majestic Is the horrible crime
with which Miles o. Byrne. socialist
speaker, was arraigned before Judge
Hinkle in police court this afternoon.
The crime consisted of scathing re-
marks about Mayor l.. Frank Boyd

officials.
Mayor Boyd heard of the horrible
roasts and ordered the permit to
speak cancelled When this was done

about the mayors lock of municipal
regularity.
Mayor Boyd called In his advisers

CHILDREN STAYING
AWAY FROM SCHOOL

There is some agitation in the
Fourth ward as to the advisability Of
closing the Bryant school on account
of diphtheria and epidemic sore
throat.
The attendance is aboue one-third
of the average and, while there are
no new cases, parents have become
alarmed and are keeping their chill
dren home.
The situation is to be deplored from
the fact that the pupils attending
regularly are getting ahead in their
studies, which will leave those absent
an unfair chance to catch up in order
to pass the examinations.
The board of education has provid-
ed for treatment Of pupils and each
day their throats will be examined
and looked after. The board wishes
to call attention to parents to urge
their children to attend regularly. It
is claimed better care can be exer-
cised by their attendance than If they
stayed at home.

The evidence yesterday showed up
contradictory, as some of the wit
nesses testified that the officer order
ed Brown to halt while others swore
no command was given. Yet the jury
took the fair stand that not enough
effort was made to capture Brown and
that he was killed without sufficient
excuse.
Weymouth ignores the evidence,
the jury. the law and his duty as a
member Of the police board.
Just because the courts dare to
investigate weymouth's action as a
city Commissioner and public serv-
ant.
The mayor and Chief Of Police
Waller have expressed themselves as
favoring an investigation by the po-
lice board. Commissioner Handley
declares he is opposed to the slaugh-
ter of men for any cause. Commits
sioner ONO says he will be bound by
the action of the majority of the
board. Weymouth says the board
must not investigate pecduse VI 'he

Prosecuting Attorney Horace KIM
ball WILL have something to say about
that attempt to shut off justice. He
will be the man to pass on the ques-
tion Of whether a policeman may
shoot down men without proper
cause Fortunately, Weymouth is
not an assistant prosecuting attorney
or a county commissioner.
II shall investigate the matter this
afternoon" said Mr.. Kimball today.
II have been so busy in the crimi-
nal court that I have had no time to
look into the shooting. II an inves-
tigation and prosecution is demanded
by the facts, I shall certainly pro-
ceed."

After arguing and voting for an
hour and a half, jury of six men
In police court reported to Judge
Hinkle at o'clock today that they
could not agree upon verdict in
the case of the state against l.. b.
whitten, charged by E Dempsie with
renting Front avenue property for
immoral purposes. Judge Hinkle
thereupon discharged the jury and a
new trial of the case will be had.
Lively and spicy was the trial Of
the case at times this morning and
the interest was increased when At
torney Baldwin started In to roast the
prosecuting attorney, Horace KIM
ball, whom he charged with trying
to evade his duty of prosecuting the
landlords and their tenants. The at
torney was cut of short by Judge
Hinkle, who declared that an attack
upon the prosecutor In the latters
absence was unwarranted.
Leah Spaulding, whose absence last
week caused continuance OF the
case, was present this morning and
called to the stand, where she re-
fused to answer questions on the
ground of discriminating herself.
Then the prosecution brought to
the witness stand one l.. f. Blandy.
seedy looking, sweater-clad indi-
vidual who said he been In Spokane
four months without doing any work
for living.
Blandy swore that he had visited
the Spaulding place, where girl In
white had put her arm around him
and extended invitations and arrang-
ed for a later visit after Blandy had
played the plano.
On cross examination Blandy said
he had been paid IS by Attorney Bald
win to visit several of the places
named to him.
Mr.. Baldwin came to me-" said the
witness, ''and asked me TO find out
certain facts for him which the po-
lice were afraid to tell about. He

The jury went out at 1870 o'clock
and returned at 1 o'clock unable to

noon. HE begged and begged for

tize him. Then when I finally con-
sented to let him act he tries to make
it appear that I'm afraid to do my
duty. That's funny"
