YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS LISTEN
TO SOME FATHERLY ADVICE
TODAY.
John isitt, Ray Williams and Melvin
Rummage Will Know Their
Fate Saturday.

With lips twitching in an effort to
keep back the tears, John Isitt, Ray
Williams and Melvin Rummage, the
three Walla Walla boys implicated in
the raiding of the o. r. & N. depot at
Tcuchet last Saturday, sat before
Judge Brents this afternoon and lis
tened to some fatherly advice on what
happens to boys who show criminal
tendency. The boys were convicted on
a charge of petty larceny in the JUS
tice court Tuesday, but owing to their
age a Jail sentence could not be i'm
posed and their cases were brought
before Judge Brents this afternoon for
disposal.
Young Rummage's parents were in
court and the mother made plea for
her boy, promising that he would be
kept at home hereafter if he was re-
leased. The court did not show a dis
position to release the boys and their
cases were continued over until Satur-
day morning when several witnesses,
rot present at the hearing today, could
be present

SALMON A DRUG ON MARKET.
Poor Prospects for Profitable Pack
This Year. Z

BELLINGHAM, Feb. 2.-"Of fifty
five or sixty canneries in Alaska, only
eleven will be operated during the COM
ing season. said a well-known inde-
pendent Alaska canneryman today
1.-The market is now overstocked with
canned salmon. And the prospects are
very poor for making any money in
the fishing business in Alaska this
year. In southeastern Alaska there are
between twenty and twenty-five can
neries and only five of this number
will be operated, for the reasons that /
have stated. In northern Alaska there
are about thifty-five canneries and
only six of this number will be run,
making total of eleven canneries, that
will be operated in Alaska during the
season of 1905. None of the Pacific
Packing & Navigation canneries will
pack, and am informed by the officers
of the Alaska Packers association,
that it is the intention to close prac-
tically every cannery they own in
Alaska"

REPRiEVE FOR MURDERESS.
Mrs. Rogers, Who Killed Her Husband,
Saved From GalIows.


MONTPELIER, VT, Feb. Gov
ernor Bell made a statement this
morning which foreshadows the fate
of Mrs. Mary Rogers, under sentence
to die on the gallows at Windsor to-
morrow for the murder of ner hus-
band. Governor Bell said:
Il don't believe the people of Ver-
mont desire that Mary Rogers be
granted reprieve. I am greatly sur
prised that the sheriff of Windsor
came before me with a petition for
rerrieve."
The governors final decision will
be made this afternoon.
Governor Bell this afternoon an
nounced that he would grant a re-
prieve to Mrs. Rogers until June 2.
Governor Bell granted the repr1eve
On the ground that the woman claims
not to have had fair trial and that
the evidence presented against her
was false. He said he gave no consid-
Grafton to complaints that the laws
Of Vermont are cruel and barbarous.

More Peaceful in Poland.

e.. WARSAW, Feb. 2.-The strikers are
expected to resume work next Mon
day. Funds are being raised to al
leviate the sufferings of strikers FAM
lilies to which employers largely sub
scribed through sympathy with the
strikers political demands. The sit
uation in some parts of Poland is
more peaceful today.
Fifty-tnree persohs killed in the
strike rioting were buried today.
Twenty-one bodies are still uniden-
titled. Relatives are permitted to bury
the bodies. In conflict yesterday be-
tween strikers and the criminal ele-
ment which is largely responsible for
looting, many criminals were killed
and 100 wounded. The strikers were
enraged because the disreputable ele-
ment brought discredit upon the strike
movement.

Attempt Made to BIacken His
Reputation.
TRAP WAS BnTEe WITH 4 WOMAN
Secret Service Men Discovered the
Plot and Those Implicated Are
Before Grand Jury.

PORTLAND, Feb. 2.-In the federal
grand jury investigation this morning
it was alleged that there was a local
conspiracy to obstruct justice by Sc
curing the removal of prosecuting Of
ficers through blackening their reputa-
ton and defaming their characters.
Witnesses testified that they had been
asked by the conspirators if they
would give evidence along certain lines
desired. The plan of the conspiracy
was to accuse United States District
Attorney Heney of lewd conduct with
woman involved in the case. The
latter, it is stated, had been requested
to lay trap by inviting Heney to her
room. Other witnesses, it is stated,
were asked to swear to having seen
Heney coming from her apartments.
Secret service agents discovered the
conspiracy and as result all impli-
Gated were summoned before the
grand jury.
Those before the jury this morning
were John Hall, former United States
district attorney; County Attorney
John Manning. GU. Cary, lawyer; H
w. Ford, detective; Marie Ware and
Alice White

VOLCANO IN ERUPTION.
Mountain Near Lake Nicaragua Be-
having Badly.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2.-The
steamer City of Sidney arrived from
Panama this morning with advices to
the effect that the volcano Montomba,
80 miles inland, near Lake Nicaragua,
is in eruption after being queit for 80
years. Great masses of smoke, Gin
ders, rocks and lava are issuing from
the crater. Showers of cinders and
stone are thrown over the surround
ing towns and streams Of lava are
pouring down the mountains sides.
forcing families living near its base
to fee for their lives. Great coffee
plantations are ruined and the innab-
itants are panic stricken. The city of
Leeon with 1000 inhabitants, is located
eight miles from the volcano. The
fe te Of the people is unknown. The
last eruption destroyed many lives and
much property.

SLIGHT FLAW IN WHIPPING BILL.
Measure Will be Altered and Probably
Will Pass.

SALEM, Or, Feb. But for slight
conflict with the law as it stands to-
day, Senator SicheTs measure to give
circuit court judges discretion. to SEN
tence to punishment by the whipping
post any man found guilty Of Wife
beating. would have passed the senate
bv a substantial vote. Senator Not
tingham was the only one to speak
AGAINST the bill, declaring it's provis-
ions a relic of the dark ages.
Senator Smith told OF many instances
of wife beating, and it was generally
agreed there were instances in which
whipping at the post was none to Sc
we're a punishment. The bill was re-
ferred back to committee to make
slight change, after which it will come
I'M for vote. AS sentiment now stands
in the senate, there is no doubt of it's
favorable reception at the hands of the
senators.
Senator fSichel received the closest
attention when ne told of his expe-
riences as police commissioner, and the
number of men who were arrested for
brutally attacking their wives.

HORSE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
judicial Determination Of Much
Mooted Question.

ABERDEEN, Feb. "A peculiar
case was recently decided in the su-
perior court, in which E. Lyons, a liv-
eryman of Hoquiam, brought suit
against Nels Hanson to recover the
value Of horse which Hanson had
hired from him to work on the Hump
tulips road.
On the way to the scene of their la
bors the road was very muddy. and
the animal in question became mired.
Hanson tried to help it out, but it stub
bornly refused to make any effort 70
help itself, and while Hanson went in
search of assistance the tide came in,
covering road, animal and all, and
when it receded the horse was dead.
Lyons brought suit against Hanson,
charging contributory negligence. He
was obliged to confess, however, that
the horse had shown no interest IN
life. and this admission, added to the
evidence of Hanson, caused the court
to decide that it was a plain case OF
suicide. on the part Of the horse. The
case is a most unusual one, and would
tend to settle the question of animal
suicides.

NURSES ASK PROTECTION.
They Want Law to Prevent Fakirs
Posing as "Nurses."

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. e.
Graduate nurses Of the twin cities
are up in arms against fakirs who
have beer using the name of, trained
nurses" to secure good positions and
whose ignorance is bringing, disgrace
on the nurses who have taken the
four years training course.
1t is likely that bill will be intro
duced in the legislature to make the
any one not graduate of training
school a misdemeanor. To further
the cause, the nurses of Minneapolis
formed an association last summer
and the ST. Paul nurses have recently
organized. 1t is now proposed that a
state organization be effected.
A most fragrant case noted by the
nurses was that of a woman, who was
spoken Of as not quite respectable
who was in the city hospital about
five weeks ago. Last week one of the
nurses saw her on the street and asked
her what she was doing.
"Oh, I am a nurse now and am get
ting $40 week
On inquiry it was learned that she
had represented herself as a trained
nurse. When asked wnat hospital she
came from, she said that she had been
in the city hospital. There are at
least fifty other such cases. The
nurses have no intention of COM
planning against anyone who follows
nursing as a living but they do OBJ
ject to having the name of trained
nurse" and graduate nurse used by
those who are not such, when they
themselves have had to spend four
years Of hard work in study and prac-
tice and have had to pass rigid ex-
aminations.

A CONSTITUTION FOR RUSSIA
CAR IS FAV0RAbLY DISPOSED
It Is Certain That Some Concessions in the WAY Of Roorm
Will Be d-Peop|e Will Be Given Some
Voice in the Government,

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2.-It is
impossible to confirm the report that
the czar intends to give the people
constitution. Well informed persons
says the report is entirely without
foundation. They assert that the czar
is simply urging haste in the drawing
up Of reforms outlined in the imperial
ukase of December 25. The general
opinion is that some reforms will
shortly be inaugurated, but it is
thought it will take the form of an
extension of self-government, more
educational facilities and less rigid
censorship of the press.
Maxim Gorky, the author. arrested
at Riga last week for connection with
the revolutionary movement, was re-
leased today
1t is stated on good authority that
the report Of the committee of minis
ters appointed to give effect to the
emperor's ukase of December 25, urges
the enlargement of the powers Of the
senate over the ministers and favors
the establishment Of lower adminis-
trative body connected with the senate
One workingman, who was a men,
ber of the party received by the car
yesterday, said today:
Half of us were moved to tears by
the cars words. We are confident
he will keep his promises. The czar
looked young and well, but grave.
There is not trace of gray in his hair.
We were treated like generals return
ing from war. ! think the workmen
have definitely abandoned Father
Gopon, whom many of us accuse of
using the workmen for political moves
by promising us higher wages. I be-
lieve that 80 per cent of the workmen
will be glad to resume work. The re-
mainder will probably be ready to re-
sumo agitation at an opportune time
