Judge hinkIe Holds That There Is Not Suffi-
Gent Evidence on Which to Bind Over the
Bankers Sons for Trial in Superior Court.

Freeman and Norman James were
dismissed by Judge Hinkle this after
noon on the ground that their identi-
fication had not been sufficient to war
rant holding them to the superior
court for the crime of. assault and
robbery at the home of the Richters
in Peaceful Valley.
The outcome of the case was great
surprise to the sheriff's officials and to
the police. Two men giving their
names of Burns anu Kaufman were
arrested yesterday and confessed to
several holdups of which the James
boys were accused, but nothing new
has developed in the Richter case.
"T'he James boys are not clear yet"
said Sheriff Doust this morning before
the cases came up in the police court.
Although Burns confessed to IA hold
ups he didn't admit the Richter affair
and the case against the James boys
stands as it did. Burns told us of all
these affairs in which he has been en-
gagged but he failed to include the
Richter assault and attempted robbery
cases. / have thought, and still think
the JauleS boys were IN tHdl.
Judge Hinkle's Decision.
In declaring the boys not guilty
Judge Hinkle said this morning: ''Mr.
Richter has known the boys for some
years and believed sometime after the
robbery took place that he recognized
the boys. but in considering the evil
dence which has come before me l
think there is nothing on which to
hold them. The case is dismissed"
Mrs. James and her two sons, accom-
panied by Harry Glidden, an uncle OF
the boys, and several friends appeared
in the doorway into the court room to
hear the decision. Norman James,
the younger of the two boys, took the
decision r>Snchalantly as he did the
testimony in Me case and not even a
smile appeared on his face.
I'm glad the trial is over" said
Freeman James. at has been con-
siderably worry to me although l
thought all along that the decision of
the Judge would be as it has BEEN"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Minister
Takahira called at the state depart
ment this morning to request this
government to intervene with Russia
on behalf of the 400 Japanese resi-
dents detained at Port Arthur by the

proper representations to Russia. but
it entertains little hope of success.
No reply has yet been received

IMPORTANT USE OF METALS.
Medical Science Has Discovered Them
To Be Valuable In Pneumonia.

Medical Science Has Discovered Them
To Be Valuable In Pneumonia.
New York, Dec. I'm a commune
cation from well known French ply
sician, has, according to the Heralds
Paris correspondent, reported the fact
that certain metals, such as gold and
silver, very finely subdivided and en-
ployed infinitesmal doses exercise a
considerable effect on the vital phe
nomena. Reduction of the metals
to the desired state is obtained by theii
electrical dissolution in water. The
metal so treated acquires the property
Of developing force similar to that OF
a ferment. This popularity of the
Phenomenon led the doctor to use tha
term metallic ferments in reporting
his discovery.
When employed in cases of pneumo
MIA in hypodermic injection Of from
i've to ten cubic centimeters of soIu
tion containing from nine-hundredths
to two-tenths of a milligramme oil
gold, silver, platinum, ETC., the fer
ments produced a brusque efferves,
cence of the malady in six cases out
of the ten before the seventh day.
The employment of these metallic
ferments, however, does not, the com
munication concludes, constitute the
complete treatment of pneumonia, fol
complication and the predominance OF
certain symptoms necessitate acces.
sorry therapeutics, but great progress
would appear to be made by their use
