JUDGE De Bolt Throws Up
Criminal Cases-The
Robber Gang.

Three witnesses appeared on the
stand in the Jones murder trial yes
terday. Charles W. Cross, called on
Friday, had his examination conclud-
ed. Charles H. Clark was called and
his examination was completed. Will
liam Olepau went upon the stand late
in the afternoon. Both of the last two
witnesses were former schoolmates of
E. M. Jones at the Gulick school early
in the seventies.
Clark gave an insight into his own
standing in the school which, at least
by deduction, was hardly self-f1atter-
ing. After telling that Jones was
ahead of him in some studies and
behind him in Others he said that
Jones never had his lessons learned"
For his chronic backwardness Jones
was frequently punished, sometimes by
being stood in a corner with face to
wall and again by whippings.
CRIMINAL CASES DROPPED.
Judge De Bolt yesterday morning
threw up all of the remaining criminal
cases assigned to him by Judge Robin
son. He cast the responsibility for this
action upon the attorneys for defend
ants, who We're not ready to go to
trial.
Attorney Stewart asked to have the
trial of F. ]. Tesla for criminal libel
continued for the term. He also ten
dered a bill of exceptions to the court s
ruling against his motions, with the
object of carrying the points to the
Supreme Court. Judge De Bolt de-
clined to sign the bill, therefore the
intended introductory appeal fell
through
Attorney General Andrews desired
to have the trial of Kansforo for muir
der in the first degree set for today,
but Attorney Cathcart could not make
ready. The Attorney General urged
that two innocent men had been in
Jail as witnesses since May last year.
1t was no use. Counsel for defendant
claimed he had not had sufficient no.

Then there was the case of William
Hoopii. nicknamed ''Barefooted Bill
for the burglary at Levers & Cookies.
The Attorney General said a woman
who was an important witness could
not be found. Attorney Chillingworth
said he met the woman on the street
and spoke to her a few days ago, but
was led to admit that it was the day
before the steamer Mauna Loa sailed
for Hawaii
Attorney Douthitt had part in the
discussion. Ultimately. after much
talk, Judge De Bolt ended it all by
saying in substance:
'Since the attorneys are not prepared
! to assist the court in expediting its
efforts to relieve the criminal calen-
dar all of the criminal cases assigned
to me by the presiding judge are re-
assigned to Judge Robinson"
Judge De Bolt expressly excepted
the Attorney General from his remarks.
In the course of the previous CONVEX
sation he said that if he were the
presiding judge he would accept moth

Army Worm Again.

Tacoma is threatened with another
visitation of the army worm, which
created such havoc a few years ago
Superintendent E. R. Roberts of the
city parks discovered the worms again
today and urges the people to be wran-
ed at once and prepare to fight the
pest or they will destroy every vestlge
of vegetation. The simplest and most
effective way to trap the pest is to
lay a wet gunnysack on the ground
about a plant at night. In the morn
ing the worms can be found there and
burned. 1t will be recalled, too, That
digging bitches about a field was
found an effective way to arrest the

THE LARGEST IN THE HISTORY
OF THE STATE SAYS GRAIN
INSPECTOR ARRAsMITH.
Inspector Has Just Returned to His
Home in Tacoma After Trip
Throughout the State.

According to State Grain Inspector
J. w. Arrasmith who has just returned
to his home in Tacoma after a trip
through the grain producing sections
of the state, the largest wheat crop
in the history of Washington is as
smith said:
In 1901 Washington produced 3d.
100000 busnels-the largest crop of
wheat it mad ever grown before that
time or since, until this season. We
will go one better than that this year.
Harvesting has already begun south
of the Snake river and in Adams and
Franklin counties, and by next week
it will be in full swing in many Of the
richest cereal districts. Everywhere
the yield of wheat is satisfactory, and
so far as have been able to learn is
in excess of the yield of last season,
acre for acre, and last year was a
good wheat year. Threshing will be
in progress within two weeks, and new
wheat will be moving to tidewater
within thirty days.
THE only uncertainty resting over
any of the crop is the possibility Of
hot wave or a dry northeast wind in
juring the late spring sown wheat.
On the east line of the state there is
semi arid region, higher than the
most of our wheat areas. There is
considerable late spring-sOwn grain
here, and untoward weather condi-
tons would inf1ict injury. The early
spring sown wheat and the fall-sown
grain is ripening in superb condition,
with not sufficient heat or dry winds
to shrivel grain of it, The hot wave
of ten days ago has already hurt the
late spring wheat slightly.
THE acreage Of oats and the acre
age Of barley are both less than they
were last season, but the yild per acre
is greater.
The harvesting of the great wheat
crop Of this season is the cap sheaf
on the remarkable run of prosperity
the farmers of the Inland Empire have
enjoyed for a number Of years, and
offers what might be conservatively
| termed a sensational contrast to the
conditions in farming communities ten
years ago. Why, 1 know many farm
ers who along in 1894 and 1895 were so
burdened with debt and discouraged
by poor crops that they actually Of
fered their debtors their farms and
everything thereon if they would al
low them to take a team and wagon
and trek out of the country. They
We're persuaded to try their fortunes
for few more years, and these very
men are now prosperous, and in some
cases, rich. All of them are, to use
a provincial term, well-to-do."

STATE SUPREME COURT uAs
HANDED DOWN IMPORTANT
DECISION.
HAS No Legal Claim For the Loss Of
His Better Half Who Was
Killed.

That husband has no cause Of &C..
ton for damages for the death of his
wife when caused by the wrongful act
of another is the decision of the su.
preme court handed down in the Sc
attic case of Christian Johnson ana
Merrimus c. Johnson, appellants.
against the Seattle Electric Company.
respondent
Christian Johnson is the husband
and Merrimus c. johnson is the minor
child of woman whose death resulted
from an accident near Ballard August
Il, 1903. A special car carrying a
Sunday School excursion from Ballard
to Woodland Park got beyond the con-
troll of the motorman on a down grade
and left the track. Mrs. Johnson wan
thrown violently to one end of the care
and sustained injuries from which she
afterward died.
demurrer interposed by the company
was sustained on the ground that q
husband has no legal claims for the
loss of services and society of the de-
ceased wife, that the minor son has
no interest in the claim for recovery
on account of funeral and burial ex-
penses, and that the two causes Of
actiony were therefore improperly
Joined. In sustaining the demurrer
the court gave the plaintiffs leave to
amend their complaint. They declined
to do so, and the case was dismissed
and the plaintiff appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The supreme court has heretofore
decided that section 4,S2S of Second
Ballinger's Code, in defining who may
maintain actions for the death of 9TH
ers, restricts such persons to the wid-
ow and children of the deceased. The
decision heretofore given was simply
in cases where the husband was not
a party. 1t was argued in this casa
that the words widow and 'widower'
may become interchangeable. The SUI
preme court, however, refuses to read
the word "widower' into the law, hold
lature. The lower court is sustained.

CLAIM HAS BEEN MADE THAT
STATE LAW is UNCON-
STiTUTIONAL.
Boy Murder Case May Get Into the
Supreme Court of the United
States.

In the federal court at Tacoma a
petition for writ of habeas corpus
was filed to secure the release of Thos.
Brown from confinement in the Lewis
county Jail at Chealis.
Thomas Brown is the boy who shot
and killed his father, Charles M.
Brown, by shooting him with a rifle
several months ago near Chenalis. His
case went to trial at Chehalis before
Judge A. E. Rice of the superior court
of Lewis County April "a, and on May
l the jury returned a verdict as fol-
lows:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Thomas Brown, not guilty, by reason
of insanity
The petition for a writ of habeas
corpus, signed by Thomas Brown and
his attorneys, M. A. Langhorne, c..
H. Forney and John Nj. Ponder, states
that on May Brown was brought into
Judge Rice, under the provisions of
section $3.50, volume II, of Ballinger's
annotated code of washington, and
section 10, chapter 90 of the laws of
1891, without giving him any hearing
decided that Brown was a dangerous
person to be at large and issued an
order of commitment remanding him
into the custody of Sheriff Urqunadt,
to keep him confined in Jail pending
the further orders of the court.
Violate Constitution.
This, is is claimed on behalf of
Brown is in violation of the fourteen
tn amendment to the constitution of
the United States, and particularly
that part which has reference to the
deprivation of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law, and which
requires the several states to accord
all persons within their jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws.
The claim is made that the state
laws under which Brown was COM
mitted after he had been found not
Judge Hanford issued an order di-
recting Sheriff Urquhart to appear in
the federal court July % and show
cause why the writ of habeas corpus
should not be issued.
The case of Brown will be watched
with a good deal of interest by the
members of the bar and by the public
as the decision of Judge Hanford will
be directly as to the constitutionality
of laws enacted by the legislature of
this state for the public safety and
which have been regarded as the
means of dealing with the cases of
persons charged with murder who es-
cape on the plea of insanity
Will be Fought Through Courts.
Browns case was presented to the
state supreme court and in an appli-
cation made for his release it decided
July IA that the laws under which
Judge Rice sent him to prison for an
indefinite period were not unconstitu-
tional The move made in the federal
court by Browns attorneys places the
case in line for a decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States.
