JURY TOPR0BE
H|BB|NC MURDER
Judge Cant Declares Respon~
sibility for Crime Should
Be Placed,

In charging the grand jury 1T the
opening Of its session yesterday morn
ing Judge Cant called attention to the
death Of the two iron miners in the
recent strike riot at Hibbing, urging
that searching inquiry be made that
the responsibility of the crime be
placed where it belongs. He said:
mo one has been apprehended thus
far for the killing Of the men. Under
our law and for the preservation Of
good order in this county, when life has
been taken it is eminently proper that
a rigid investigation be made. If the
circumstances so require it you are to
return indictments against such per-
sons or person as in your opinion may
be to blame. Do this without fear
of favor to any man."
Judge Cant also cautioned the jury
to keep it's indictments secret until
after the persons indicted are in GUS
tody. The charge applies to every in
vestigation~
w: B. Patton is foreman of the Jury
and although the body was in closed
session from II o'clock in the morning
until five in the afternoon no indict-
ments were announced. It is believed
that the. investigation will occupy the
balance of the week. So many more
cases will be probed than during the
last session.

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Chimney Fires on Wednesday
Give Residents of Heights
a Bad Scare.
High Northeast Wind Was
Blowing and Suburb Was
in Great Danger.

The people Of Duluth Heights had
four bad scares Wednesday. Chimney
fires at the homes of Max Clements,
John Robertson, John Stewart and
A. Davis were the cause Of the trouble.
A high northeast wind was blowing,
and had there been any defects In the
chimneys serious results would have
followed. The Davis chimney caused
considerable worry for time, but
quick action on the Part of the volun-
teer fire brigade checked the danger.
The Clements chimney was burning
at noon, and this one caused the most
alarm. The house is so located that
the high northeast wind beat the smoke
and flame from the chimney to the
roof. For fully ten minutes it was
thought the roof was burning, but the
moistened condition of the shingles pre-
vented conflagration.
The fire alarm called out a. large
number Of people, and everything was
in readiness for a hard fight against
what would have been fearful odds,
With insufficient fire equipment and a
high northeast wind at least three
houses would have been destroyed had
the flames spread beyond the Chin
ney.
While all were considerably relieved
over the result yet the agitation is
stronger In the suburb for additional
fire apparatus, and it is hoped that
the Fire Commissioners will soon ia
Vorably consider the demands of the
Duluth Heights people.

EIGHTEEN YEARS IN WALlA
WALLA PRISON FOR MUIR.
DERING Otis DE LACY.
Sentenced at Spokane Saturday After.
noon by Judge Poindexter-
Soon Behind the Bars.

Eighteen years in the penitentiary
at Walla Walla and to pay the cost
Of the prosecution was the sentence
pronounced on John F. McDerrmott
by Judge Poindexter, Saturday after
noon at Spokane. McDermott a few
days ago pleaded guilty to the charge
of murder in the second degree after
having been indicted by the grand
jury which was lately in session at
Spokane.
McDermott shot and fatally wound
ed Otis DeLacy waiter in the Cen
trail cafe, on the evening Of July 21
On his own behalf, the defendant
asked the leniency of the court in
passing sentence, for the reason that
he had been drunk for three or four
days previous to the shooting and at
the time did not know that he had
shot the man, being crazej with whis-
ky at the time. He mad pleaded guilty,
he said, because in his condition he
was unable to put up a defense. He had
no intention of killing the man, as he
had seen him only few minutes. AS
he had started to leave the cafe he
said the waiter seized him by the
coat, which angered him and he drew
his pistol and fired.
'The man does not seem to have a
bad record" said Judge Sullivan, in
behalf of the prisoner. He was a
stranger to the man he killed and 1t
does not appear that there was any
motive for the crime"
IF my investigation is correct,
stated Judge PoindeXter in address
ing the prisoner, you are fortunate in
standing before this bar convicted e
murder IN the second degree instead of
the fir-t degree, as might have been
the case if you had been put on trial
before a jury"
Your victim was pursuing his oc-
cupation and giving no onense at the
time he was shot, and you had no ex-
cUse for carving a gum"

clear that, with their present infor-
nation regarding Mr.. Elkins' plan,
they are inclined to hold that he is
clearly within the constitutional pro-
bition pointed out in the Moody
opinion.
1t is apparent that if congress were
to pass bill based on the lines out
lined by Mr. Elkins, that bill, if ap-
proved by the president, would have
to run the gauntlet of all the courts,
involving delay of perhaps several
years before it could go into effect,
and there would be danger that the
supreme court in passing upon the
question, would hold that the bill was
unconstitutional in that it was an eff
fort to secure by indirect methods
what could not be secured by direct
ones.
"Joker" Is Suspected.
Any bill to which Mr. Elkins gives
his hearty assent it is believed here
will have to be scrutinized closely by
the friends of the presidents policy
in order that they may be sure that II
contains no "joker," and is calculated
1t might be comparatively easy for
the railroad men in both houses OF
congress to defeat all railroad rate
legislation by rallying around some
such proposition as that favored by
Elkins. They could pose as friends
Of the presidents policy and claim
that their remedy would be entirely
effective. This claim would be de-
MED by the friends of genuine legisla-
ton in the two houses, and in the de-
bate which would follow the defeat OF
all railroad legislation might be &C.
complisned.
1t is becoming increasingly evident
that legislators who really stand with
the president will have need to cate
chise with much care all legislat tors
who come to them claiming to belong
to their clan, but who offer instead OF
the bill Endorsed by the president q
bill of their own, seeking to intrench
upon the questionable ground of regu-
lation by means Of the judiciary.

OVER SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
ACRES TAKEN UP BY LAND
DEPARTMENT..
includes All Leases of Land Upon
Which the Annual Rental Was Due
in June.

State Land Commissioner E. w.
Ross has cancelled 235 leases of state
lands, covering an aggregate of TO-
27S:64 acres of state lands, mostly in
eastern Washington.
These lands have been paying an ag-
gregate rental of but $647O.61, or at the
rate of 81 cents an acre, while with
the exception Of one tract the highest
rate received by the state was but IS
cents an acre.
Commissioner Ross stated at Olym-
pia yesterday that there is no doubt
that within a short time more than
so per cent of these lands will be leas-
ed again, under the new policy, he has
established of rentals similar to those
paid for lands held by private owner
ship, and that the result will be
large increase in the receipts by the
state from the property.
Commissioner Ross has taken up
this matter at the earliest opportuni-
ty. The list Of cancellations includes
all leases delinquent in payments up
to June 1 this year. The tenants let
the rentals fall behind and the COM
missioner took advantage of that
fact to make the cancellations, know
ing from the growing demand for leas-
es Of state lands even at the higher
rates now demanded the returns could
be greatly increased.
The letses that have been cancelled
cover the various sorts of state lands
as follows:

call for a special meeting Of the
Walla Walla Commercial club for this
evening at the council chambers. Each

Walla day at the fair one Of the best
that has been held by any of the
cities Of the state Of Washington. Al
ready Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
other cities in the state have had
their days at the fair and in each in
stance the occasion has been made q
big feature in the line Of entertain
ment at the Washington building.
The executive committee of the ex-

cal committee in carrying out its plans
for the Walla Walla entertainment.
The special days provided for the
different cities at the fair have been
the means of attracting thousands Of
visitors to the Washington building.

most elaborate affair yet held by any

EXCITES SUSPICION.
Rate Reformers Friends Fear Bill Is
to Block Effective Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Inquiry
in Washington discloses the details
of one of the schemes which the rail-
road members of the senate commit
tee on interstate commerce may adopt
in framing bill on the rate question.
1t is said to be the scheme of Senator
Elkins personally, although this state
ment is unverified. Such a bill, it is
said, was drafted in the closing days
of the last session of congress by Rep
resentative Mann Of Chicago, ana IN
troduced in the house.
The scname provides for an appeal
to a special federal court in all dis
puted rate questions. The court, in
passing upon the case is to determine
whether the rate complained of was
reasonable at the time it was promu]-
gated, but is to go no further. This
decision. having been rendered, the
finding of the court will go into eff
feet automatically by the railway
company's acceptance Of it as fixing
the rate for the future.
Avoids Presidents Objection.
This plan, it is said, would avoid
the point made by the attorney gener-
al and the president, that rate-making
is a legislative and not a judicial
function, and must therefore be exer-
cised by congress, directly, or through
a commission, and not by the courts.
The scheme as here outlined raises
the question whether the supreme
court would permit that to be done by
indirection which is prohibited when
done directly. the president in his
Williams college address, late in June,
announced in positive language that
rate-making was a legislative and not
a. judicial function, and that judicial
powers could not be used for that pur-
pose This is in keeping with the
opinion of Attorney General Moody,
given the senate committee in May,
and indicates that the president is
not, unaware of the probability that
the railroad members of that commit
tee will try to befog the issue and
hand the public gold brick in the
form of a bill passing the entire ques-
ton up to the courts.
Commission Members Silent.
Members of the interstate commerce
commission decline to discuss the Ell
kins method as outlined in the sena-
tors New York interview, but it is

CHRISTMAS DOlNGS AT THE CHURCHES

Christmas entertainments for the
children began this season on Friday
evening when at the Presbyterian
church handsome large tree was
erected. decorated and loaded with
gifts. Merry Christmas" greeted all
from the arch above the altar and a
short program of recitations, songs,
etc, was given by the Sunday School
scholars and pronounced very good.
Santa Claus app ared during the last
chorus and the pleasure of receiving
their gifts then fully occupied the
minds of the little ones.
On Saturday evening programs of
like nature were given in both the
Disciple and nj. Il churches. The
trees, decorations and exercises were
all good and delighted everybody. The
alarm of fire during the program caused
some little excitement, but the interest
of the younger ones centered in Santa
Claus.
At the M. 4. church gifts were ex-
changed during the Sunday school hour
and in the evening a very pretty and
suggestive Cantata was rendered en-
titled "a Search for Santa Claus"
Fairies, elves, the four winds, Santa
Claus and other characters were taken
very nicely, little lame Jennie, represent
ed by Goldia Beatty doing especially
well. The little play was a delightful
prelude of Christmas day and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi
ence, who only found fault in its being
too short.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

Christmas day has again come and
gone, but the pleasure which the dav
brings us all will linger long. The
season may not have brought us exact
ly the unalloyed happiness we had
wished, but always we may find some
thing to rejoice in and which NAV
bring us gladness. There is that happy
anticipation of the children, joy enough
only to behold it, more JOY to fulfill
their anticipations by bringing them
the little things they ask Santa for.
The childless people are to be pitied
but there is still much happiness for
them in providing for the orphans, the
neglected and destitute children. 1t is
our duty always to look around us and
if there are those poorer than ourselves,
those who are unable to meet the ne
cessities of life, let alone a simple
luxury for the Christmas time, LET us
give, even from our little, just a trifle
to make some one happy. The Christ
mas time has come and gone, but there
are opportunities for doing good every
day and all the year. Begin with the
New Year 1906 and once begun Alright
we will find our own happiness much
greater in serving others.
