DOMESTIC TROUBLES OF THE
WEHRING FAMILY TO BE
AIRED IN COURT,
Husband Makes Application for Writ
of Habeas Corpus to Get
Boy and Girl.

From all accounts the domestic rela-
lions of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Wehring
of this city reached a turbulent stage
yesterday afternoon. In the superior
court this morning Mr.. Wehring petit
toned for writ of habeas corpus re-
quiring mis- wife to produce their two
children into court. The argu-
ment will come up tomorrow when
Judge Brents will endeavor to straight
en- out the domestic tangles which the
principals have found themselves in.
According to Mr.. Wehrings petition
his wife yesterday spirited their two
children away from home and he had
good cause to believe that she intended
to take them with her back to Gales
burg, ILL.,, their old home. Mr.. Web
ring stated that he has asked his wife
to tell him where the children were
being kept and as she refused ne ap-
pealed to the courts. One of the chill
dren, Karl, is two years of age and the
other, Gerta, is barely seven months
old.
The Wehrings were married at
Galesburg in 1900 and came to Walla
Walla a year ago to reside.

POSITIVE STATEMENT MADE BY
so
PRESIDENT ELLIOTT OF THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Jointly by o. r. e. N. and
Northern Pacific.

No road is to be built by the North
ern Pacific down the north bank of the
Columbia. The company has no such
plan in prospect, and the move, though
generally credited for some time past
as being one to be realized in the flu
ture, is not even contemplated.
This, in substance, is what President
Howard Elliott, who in Portland j,
made answer to a direct question from
The Telegram yesterday. Mr.. Elliott
stated positively the route along the
north bank was not desired by the
company in connection with it's present
plans, and, in fact, it had no building
to be carried on in this territory, the
nearest work to be started being that
in the Clearwater country.
On the way to Portland from st.
Paul. President Elliott and party made
short stay in the Clearwater region.
The head of the road explains that the
surveyors are yet seeking a route for
the Northern Pacific branch from Lew
iston through the Camas Prairie Sec
ton to Grangeville. 1t will prove a
difficult engineering feat to reach
Camas Prairie without a heavy haul,
but the road from Riparia to Lewis
ton, which is being staked off and will
be constructed by the o. r. & N. to be
owned jointly with the Northern Pa
cific, will be carried out under more
favorable conditions.
To Reach Portland.
Mr.. Elliott thinks the line from
Grangeville, in connection, will prove
of vast Importance to the residents of
Eastern Washington and a large part
of Idaho, because of eliminating the
haul from there by way of Spokane and
placing them in direct connection with
Portland.
The Northern Pacific has done it's
share toward exploiting the Lewis and
Clark fair and the Northwest country,
Mr.. Elliott says, and while the travel is
improving ne states the net returns to
the road show no increase in the arm
ings becausesef the reduced rates. But
it was not with the hope of realizing
big profits this year that the advertis-
ing department of the company took
such an interest in the Coast travel,
but with the expectation that in 1906
and 1907 there would be a steady in
flux into this territory, and thus pro-
vide permanent business.

STATE CLAIM INTERFERES
Chief Engineer Newell Talks Abou
Irrigation.

Just before the special train carry
ing the congressional committee on ir-
rigation pulled out of North Yakima
yesterday Chief Engineer Newell of
the reclamation service made a short
speech in which he stated that the
Yakima Valley offers the only field in
work He stated that all that stood in
the way of taking up the work at pres
ent is the fact that the state claims
$4,000 acres in the lower valley under
the Carey law and that if that claim
were turned down by the department
the reclamation Of thousands of acres
would be undertaken at once and if it
were allowed nothing would be done
by the reclamation service.
He also said that another condition
before the work could be commenced
was that the present dispute over
water rights must be settler, so that
water stored by the government could
be used for government purposes only.
Congressman Jones spoke briefly and
advised the people of Yakima to work
against the approval Of the state selec-
tons.
Get after Land Commissioner Ross
and the governor" were his parting
words.

ALL WANTED WAlLA WAllA
Portland Tournament Not the Success
That It Was Advertised.

The annual tournament of the North
west Sportsmen's association, held in
Portland last week under the auspices
of the Multnomah Rod and Gun club,
was not the huge success the visiting
shooters expected. On two days Of the
shoot it rained heavily and a back
ground of pine and fir trees precluded
good scores being made. The clerical
force employed to keep record Of the
scores made was not competent, result
ing in some embarrassing complica-
tions arising.
There was no opposition to Walla
Walla securing the tournament for
next year." said John F. Sniails, the
newly elcted secretary Of the associa-
ton, who returned to Walla Walla this
morning. I'm fact every shooter pres

deputy facilitated matters in q won
derful degree and after half hours
hard riding the four were rounded up
and started off for Wallula.
Several times during the journey the
men made breaks for liberty, but a
threat to shoot brought them up each
time and two hours after starting after
his men Deputy Byrnes had them
locked up in the Wallula Jail. Judge
Lewis fined eacn of the men $40 and
being without funds they were brought
to the county Jail to serve out the
fines. The men claim to hail from
Spokane and are all young fellows.

WEE GIRL MURDERESS
Antoinette Seidensticker Indicted foI
Killing of Young Ship.

WHEATON, Mimi, June PA tiny
girl, wearing dresses that barely touch
her shOetOps, in appearance a bashful
child, Antoinette Seidensticker the IA
year-old daughter of Fred Seidenstick-
err, a GARNER, listened to the news that
she had been indicted for murder in
the first degree for Staying her 49,
year-old lover, Herman Snipp, on May
% last.
Not word did she utter not a
change occurred in her expression,
when she realized that she had been
branded as murderess. She calmly
returned to her cell to await her trial
at the term of court which convenes
today.
The crime for which she stands in
dicted was one of the most shocking in
the history of the county Driving to
this city, borrowing a revolver, going
to the farm where her lover worked,
getting him into her buggy and then
shooting him through the heart, the
girl endeavored to end her own life,
but failed.
For nerve the murder and attempt
ed suicide stand unparalleled in the
country, and the tender age of the child
criminal makes it more remarkable.
Only girlish jealousy, aroused because
the youth had accompanied another
girl to a dance, can explain the act.

ONE DIGGER AT WORK
Hallahan's Porker Begins Operations
at the Fort.

Despite all that has been said pro
and con on the new barracks question
at the fort, and taking into consider
alton the various news items that nave
appeared in local paper on the sub
ject, a representative for the States
man at the garrison visited the site of
the new barracks Monday morning in
expectation of seeing a force of 100
men or more busily excavating for the
foundations of the building,
The representative had visions of
teams hauling, the coarse shouts of the
transfers, intermingled with the dull
click of pick and shovel welded by a
hundred lusty arms, the atmosphere
thick with flying clods, and engineers
and architects in groups deciding vital
disputes on tangents, etc.
But approach to the ground selected
for the site was in no way as difficult
as he had supposed it would be, and a
lone solitary porker Zone of Tim Hal
lahan's) was the only digger at work,
and he was diligently roofing around
for stray spuds thrown there from the
troop kitchens near by, and another
futile clew was run to earth.

China Awakening.

An important edict has been issued in
Pekiug in response to the memorial OF
Yuan Shi Ki and other prominent men,
abolishiDg examinations for the old sys-
TEN Of degrees.
By means of this system, established
from time immemorial. China has re-
cruited government officers. The idea
of obtaining by competitive examination
the best educated men is essentially
good, but it has been rendered entirely
futile by the knowledge demanded.
Hitherto, the aspirant for honors was re-
quired to be proficient in the writings OF
Confucius and other classics, the ability
to compose essays in a particular form
constituting really kind of literary Jug
glery. The learning 80 acquired was
entirely useless for practical purposes,
while the close study required to attain
the necessary knowledge prevented at
tention to other modern and more useful
subjects. Moreover, the posts OF honor
ALWAYS falling to the lot of successful
candidates thus educated disc luraged ef-
forts in the direction of western learn
ing.
10 future, officers will be recruited
from the ranks Of those educated accord
ing to the modern system in schools tc
be established throughout the country.
Examinations will be held in The various
schools and not in the central towns as
orrerly. This edict offers the strongest
inducement to the Chinese to acquainl
themselves with western learning and
will prove a most effective means fol
China's salvation.
Another edict advocates the dispatch
of increasing numbers ofstudents abroad
chiefly to America and England.

Ne,y Anolo-Jananese Pact.

A dispatch from Paris says that al
though copies Of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty have not yet reached the powers.
its principal changes from the former
treaty. are known in diplomatic and Off
cial quarters. One of the highest. OF
these states that the principal new fea-
lures are the following:
First-The provision in the old treaty
making the alliance applicable only to
the Chinese littoral is enlarged to include
all Asia up to the line crossing Persia
from north to south indicated by the
fhy-6rst degree of east longitude. The
significance of this change is the inclu-
sion of India, and also Indo-China, where
France has suspected Japan of having
designs.
The effect of the change tends to pre-
serve the present status quo OF French
authority in Indo-China and the status
quo iu India. -,
Second-The provision in the old
treaty making the alliance operative II
either ally is attacked by two powers is
changed so that the alliance becomes
effective when either is attacked by one
power.
Third-The primary underlying Prin-
ciple of the treaty is defensive and the
maintenance of existing conditions.

How storms are Made.

A dispatch TO the Chicago Record
Herald from St. Louis says:
DR.. w. ]. McGee, who was head OF
the anthropological department OF the
Worlds Fair, was in st. Louis yester-
day on bis way back to Washington,
after remarkable four months expert
ment in the great American desert in
Arizona, in which he says he discovered
how storms are bred in the region which
has long been termed the storm-breed-
ing belt. "a reservoir of aqueous vapor
is formed over the Pacific Coast and tho
Gulf of California, he said, "and this
swings over the storm-breeding belt.
The ground here is perfectly level, and
the radiation from the earth's surface is
consequently regular and even. The
heat radiation from the desert is, OF
course, very great. This strong radla-
ton by its regularity keeps the aqueous
vapor high above the earth in stable
condition. When the vapor moves east
ward over the mountains AMI meets The
irregular radiation that com 's from the
uneven surface of the earth a precipita-
ton of the vapor results, causing rain
and storms"

RuRNED AT STAKE.

Steve Aron, negro, twenty years
old. was burned at the stake at s o'clock
last night for assaultng Mrs. S. H. Nor
ris. near Howard, Tex, last Monday.
He was identified and confessed.
Aron was arrested at Italy at 5 p. NJ,
and a mob of 200 farmers prepared to
lynch him. He was taken to Howard
and given two hours to live for prayers,
&c. Then he was to be burned. All
the farmers in the surrounding neighbor-
hood were notified to come and watch
the burning.
At 7 o'clock, the hour set for the
burning, the negro was given another
hour to live. Aron at 6:iJ begged pit
eously not to be burned, but to be hang
ed or shot. The mob decided to vote on
it, and the majority voted for burning:
Arou then asked that his sister and
brother, eight miles away, be called
upon the telephone to bid him good-by.
They pleaded to the mob over the tele-
phone not to kill their brother till they
could get to see him for the last time.
The mob gave them till eight O'Clock to
reach Howard and see the doomed man.
They started at once across the country
to Howard.
The negro was burned at the hour
named. His struggles and meanings
stopped in five minutes after the fire was
lighted. The fire burned for an even
thirty minutes after the application OF
the match, and nothing but embers,
smoke, and the charred remains marked
the spot.
The mob was comparatively quiet and
orderly, and soon dispersed. The bones
and ashes of the victim were gathered up
by his brother and sister.
Aron was taken to the Jordan Brown
farm at o'clock. A barn, donated by
the owner of the farm, was torn down
and the lumber used as irewood, which
was packed up about the victim.
Aron in his confession, made while
preparations to burn him were being
made, said:
II am twenty-one years old. l have
a brother and five sisters in Ellis county.
