The schooner Lucretia was detained
IN port by vexatious legal entangle-
ment 1t was alleged that the vessel
had done more or less damage to some
wharf property and the decision rested
upon the question if the officers OF the
vessel had used due care and diligence
in docking her. One Abraham Cuff, a
laborer on the wharf, had deposed that
Capt. Pruitt, the only officer aboard,
was drunk at the time the movement
was made, and. notwithstanding that
the lawyer for the vessel had tried
hard to show that Cuff himself was
a drunkard and utterly unworthy
of belief, the Judge found for the
libellant and the schooner was to
pay the costs of the injury. Bond

Reason for Naming Alexis.

1t has been tradition, since the
time of Nicholas l. to name the
czarevitches alternately Alexander
and Nicholas. But the murder of AL
exander II. caused his name to be con-
sidered unlucky. so there will be no
more Alexanders on the Russian
throne. as there will be no more Pauls
or Peters. The czarevitch was there

and Full of
Tragedy

In an intellectual play such as Is

Lewiston opera house on Tuesday, Feb
ruary Is, the stellar requirements are
Of a most exacting nature. Not alone
are the essential and fundamental his
tronic requisites involved. for, to play
Mrs Alving creditably, the star must
WELD all the elements ranging from
light comedy to tragedy. Then too, the
contributing characters are of such
vital and potent value in the portrayal
as to require the best talent obtainable
Ghosts" is not a fat part for its
star. TO hold the center of its stage
affords no stellar distinction unless
the position be sustained by the very
best art.
Viewing the possibilities for failure,
the unqualified success Alberta Gallatin
has won in this wonderful piece, is the
more gratifying to those who respect
truly artistic acting. Miss Gallatin
is adding reams of fervent praise to
her book of comment this season.
Through the southern and eastern
states her reception from both the crit
ical and box office points of view have
been most pleasing to all concerned.

Referring to Mr. Thompsons letter
the issue now disturbing the Boise
Statesman is clear cut. 1t is not that
the republican party Is trying to dis
ctpline the statesman but that the
Statesman is trying to discipline the
republican party through an attack
upon the organization because the
Statesman failed to dictate the APP
Monument at the Boise assay office.
In making this fight the Statesman
failed and 1t now seeks to cover up
that failure by an attempt to array
the organization against the admins
tration.
The facts as set out in the Thomp-
son letter show that the members of
the committee were in absolute har-
mony concerning the action of the
Statesman as we'll as all other matters
and as the committee consisted of
many warm friends and supporters of
the administration 1t seems a far
fetched conclusion to assert there il
any ground to charge that the organl-
nation is opposed to the state admins
tration.
Confirmation is lacking to support
contention that there is any split in the
republican party in the state. AS the
letter suggests there is not a split but
merely a splinter.

1t will be remembered that Senator
Dubois left the republican party for the
sole reason that it refused to adopt
a Is to 1 plank in its platform. Time
after time he stated, after the repub-
lican convention eight years ago, that
he was a republican in everything ex-

would have been the fate of the nation

TO take a decided stand against Russia
early In the game of war now started

POLICE GUILTY
OF CONTEMPT
Judge Cook Imposes a NOmi-
nal Fine of 81 Upon De-
tectives Dinan and Wren
PURGES CLERK NORMAN
Rules Formulated for the
Guidance of. Officers in
Rearresting a Prisoner

Judge Cook adjudged Detectives
Dinan and Wren guilty Of contempt
yesterday and formally laid down rules
TO the effect that a prisoner after be-
ing discharged on writ Of habeas
corpus must not be rearrested within
the confines Of the Hall Of Justice, and
that they must not withhold from the
court any information they have
against a prisoner.
The Judges action was due TO the
arrest Of william B. Kennedy, alias
Richard Jackson, alias yellow" one
of the thugs arrested for the murder
of Policeman Eugene c. Robinson on
the morning of January q. 1902, after
his discharge on Thursday on writ
Of habeas corpus. The arresting OF
ficers were Detectives Dinan and Wren
They and Frank H. Norman, clerk to
the Chief of Police. were cited TO ap-
pear for contempt Of court.
When the case was taken up yester-
day morning Assistant District Attor-
ney Harris filed the answer of the re-
spondents, Dinan and Wren. TO the ef-
feet that the arrest was made outside
the courtroom: that it was not made
in fragrant violation Of any order Of
court, but was made after court had
adjourned, for a felony. Clerk Nosman
denied that he advised the arrest OF
Kennedy and was purged of contempt
The Judge said the courthouse was
the courtroom, and that the passage
way into the courtroom was as much
a part Of the courtroom as the court
room itself. In the Kennedy case an
order had been made asking the police
if they had any cause to show why the
prisoner. should not be discharged, and
they had answered in the negative. One
of the respondents was in court and
the other was standing at the door
waiting for the result of the habeas
corpus proceedings before arresting the
defendant. If they had made their in
tention known to the court the prisoner
would have been discharged and could
then have been rearrested. 1t was
trining with the court to withhold that
information.
Dfnan and Wren were called and they
testified that they had no intention OF
violating the order of the court. There
was a direct contradiction between
Wren and Attorney Newberg, and
Wren threatens to have Newberg ar
rested for perjury.
The Judge said that il the police had
cause for holding the prisoner it
should have been made known at the
time of the hearing, The fine would be
merely nominal. but If anything OF the
kind happened again it would be con-
IL 40 orf n
He would convict the respondents,
Dinan and Wren, OF contempt and
would fine them 81 each. A stay OF
thirty days was granted. as an appeal
may be taken to the Supreme Court
