j. Massie Martin was born in
Opelousas, La, ON the 23d of
Sept amber, 1886. His father was

He represented the parish of ST.
Landry in the Legislature of 1879,
and in 1886 was appointed Recei-

The trial of the State VS.. Ell. III.
Sandoz and A. s. Braud on the
charge of shooting Ned Hudspeth
at the freight depot here last
October, occupied the time Of the
court on Thursday and Friday of
last week, the jury returning a
verdict Of not guilty within a few
minutes after the case was closed.
The Supreme Court having de-
cided that Grand Juror Collins
was illegally removed from the
body which had passed ON this
case shortly after The occurrence,
the indictment returned by the
grand Jury was set aside and the
trial was had on bill of informa-
tion fled by the district attorney.
The evidence was overW helming
that neither Sandoz or Braud had
drawn their weapons until Hud-
speth had actually shot both Hart
and Allen Sandoz, the latter be-
ing unarmed and taking no part
in the fight. Not solitary wit
ness for either the State or the
defense, except Hudspeth HIM
self, denied this, and it was evi-
dent from the start that there was
no case against the parties on trial.
The most that anyone could make
out of the evidence adduced on
the trial was that the parties had
engaged in a fight and were all
wounded, except Braud, who was
standing close to Allen Sandoz
when the bullet passed through
his shoulder; in fact, if the evil
dence did not. make out a case
against Hudspeth, the prosecutor,
there was no case.

CLALLAM'S OWNERS
CANNOT BE SUED

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 10.-The
Puget Sound Navigation company,
the owner of the steamer Clallam,
which sank during storm in the
Straits of Juan de Fuca January 8,
1904, with AZ passengers and 10
of her crew, was relieved of liability
on account of the accident by United
States District Judge c. b. Bellinger.
The steamship company recently, I'M
der a provision of the federal stat
utes, filed petition in the United
States district court asking for linz
itation of liability which might re-
suit from damage claims filed by
relatives and heirs of persons who
were drowned in the catastrophe.
The petition recites that the value
of the steamship and freight immedi-
atty after the accident was $296. No
claims, however, were ever presented
and the claimants, after legal time
to take action. were declared in de-
fault. The decree states that all
claims growing out of the disaster
to the steamship Clallam are forever
discharged and all parties are re-
strained and enjoined from present
ing demands.

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-The Right
Reverend Henry c. Potter. D. D., L.
l.. D., bishop of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of New York. opened
the Subway Tavern" with prayer
and at the conclusion of the opening
exercises the doxology was sung.
The Subway Tavern is a saloon,
fashioned and conducted after a new
idea, at the corner of Mulberry and
Blocker streets, not far from the
Bowery. The bishop made a speech
in the bar room, standing on beer
case, praised the new saloon and de-
clared that it represented more prog
ress toward temperance than all the
efforts of temperance leaders for so
years.
The Subway Tavern has been fin
anced by certain members of the
City club, who believe that, in addi-
ton to the five per cent dividends,
the saloon will work reform among
drinkers. Amy man or woman can
buy anything from a glass of soda
water to a rye high-ball in the place
so long as he or she does not
treat"
When Bishop Potter arrived in the
saloon to conduct the opening eX-
ercises he approached the bar and
spoke to the bar keeper, remarking
about a picture on the wall showing
some sportive nymphs in rather glar-
ing negligee. The bishop apparently
was not over pleased with this fea-
ture of the saloon.
To a crowd of members of the
club and few stray members of the
BOwery who happened in Bishop
Potter made his speech.

But what is to become of my

Inevitable necessity drives him to

comic failure in modern history.
1.-The temperance question is as
far from solution today as it was so
years ago.
81 may add that the efforts to set
tie it in a high handed way have led
to an untold amount of hypocracy.
Gentlemen, this movement of ours to-
day must be taken into account by
all if they wish to save the republic.
We must make the home of the
workingman cleaner and brighter,
and we must see that he gets his rec
reation."
The saloon is divided into two
sections, the Water Wagon" and
the "No Water Wagon" They are
separated by a partition. Women
who want to drink a glass of beer at
a bar may be served from what looks
like a soda fountain on the water
Wagon" side. The bar proper is in
the second room and is exclusively
for men. Any sort of drink can
be had, but each customer must pay
for his own drink The idea is to
raise the standard of drinking rath-
er than to attempt to abolish 1t. 1t
is not altogether new. Earl Grey
tried to revolutionize the dram shops
of London by Just such scheme.

STREET CAR COMPANY
MUST LOWER TRACKS

Where the Tacoma Railway G.
Power company's street car line en-
tiers South Tacoma the track is five
feet above the established grade of
Fifty-fourth street. This high ridge
in the middle of the street makes it
unsatisfactory to South Tacoma citi-
zens.
At the meeting Of the streets and
alleys committee of the council yes
terday, Councilman Hawley present
ed the need Of improving the street
and compelling the street car compa-
ny to conform to the grade. Team
sters cannot use F'ifty-fourth street
at all and are compelled to drive
down Fifty-sixth street, while the
pedestrians must walk the track, and
this is sometimes dangerous when
the cars pass near Alder street,
where there is sharp curve.
Although the grade Of the street
was established some time ago, the
street car company refuses to con
form to it until the street is inn
proved. The committee will recon-

MANUFACTURERS
To HAVE A SHOW

The Tacoma Manufacturers asso-
citation held an enthusiastic meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce last
night. On the suggestion of John
Blaauw, the matter of holding q
carnival or fair was taken up. 1t
was suggested that, as Seattle is to
hold manufacturers carnival from
September l to 10, Tacoma could do
no better than to hold the carnival
during the last 1 days of the month
In that way it is expected that, be
sides the new attractions which
would be secured. a number of the
best exhibits at the Seattle fair could
be arranged for, and thus Guido the
Seattle effort in every respect. w. W.
Parker, A. J. Olcott and Ben Haver-
kamp were appointed committee to
secure suitable location for the af-
fair. If a suitable building cannot
be found, permission will be asked
to use Tenth street between A street
and Pacific avenue. G. A. Pratt and
o. p. Shaub have already spent con-
siderable time in looking up loca-
ton.
e. r. Rogers suggested some origi-
nal plans for advertising Tacoma
made goods.
The interest in the meeting was
so keen that an adjournment was not
taken until II o'clock. The same
matters will be taken up again next
Tuesday night.

FORTY WRECK
VICTIMS MISSING

PUEBLO Colo, Aug. 10.--Up to
noon the bodies of 80 victims OF the
Denver &c Rio Grande wreck had
been taken from the Fountain and
Arkansas rivers.
Eighty-six have been identified
but the identity of four will proba-
bly, never be known, as the bodies
are badly mutilated.
The list of missing now reaches
40 and the fact that some of the
bodies were recovered 25 miles from
the scene of the wreck leads to the
belief that many of the victims will
nVeT be found.
Inquiries are being received from
every section Of the country regard
ing the dead and missing.

ney r. M. Hayden also appeared be-
fore the board to protest against the
20 per cent raise of the assessed
value of the Tacoma Eastern railway.
Mr.. Cookingham stated to the board
that the road was not yet a paying
property; that, in fact, 1t was not
fully completed or the properties de-
veloped, and, in view of these facts.
his road ought not to be handicapped
by having its assessment raised.
Assessor Meath said, in reply to
the protest, that he had been guided
