Hero's Boat a Sample Case.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Feb. o.
Captain Mark Castro, hero of the
Cherokee wreck, has entered into an
agreement with J. S. Schwartz, one of
the rescued passengers, formerly of
the San Domingo service, to take the
schooner Alberta to the West Indies
next summer on a mercantile mission,
with himself in command. The craft
which Capt Casio used in rescuing the
Cherokee's passengers will carry a
commercial exhibit of various products
of American factories, including all
canned food stuffs. The field in the
West Indies, according to Mr..
Schwartz, is virtually untouched in
these lines. The schooner registers
fourteen tons, but it is large enough
for the purpose intended.

COLLEGE PLACE WANTS CITY WATER
Movement on Foot to utilize Present System by Extending 10ch
Main to That ToWn-Argued That System Would Prove
fine Investment for WaNa WaNa

College Place is sadly in need of an
adequate system of waterworks and it
has been suggested by number of
prominent College Place people that
Walla Walla utilize the present water
system. which will be practically value
less when the rev gravity system is in,
by extending a 10 or II inch main to
College Place. The cost of the ex-
tension and services that it would be
necessary to put in would not be great
and the city could realize a nice inter-
est on the investment by engaging in
the business of supplying the little
town with water.
Take Matter Up With Council.
The College Place Improvement
club may take the matter up with the
council" E. E. Clark, secretary of the
club, said a few days ago. Our pres
ent water system is somewhat made
1uate to meet the needs of the town.
which is showing a rapid growth, and
as Walla Walla will have ample water
to extend the present system to Col
1ege Place it would probably be worth
the councils while to look into the
matter Just what the two-mile eX-

put in, have no means of determining,
but it would certainly not be SO great
that the city would not realize a
handsome interest on the investment
The time is coming when Walla Walla
and College Place will practically be
one town and in consequence the
revenue from such a system would be
constantly increasing"
Water Registrar Mclean this morn
ing said the city would be in excellent
shape to extend the present system to
College Place after the new gravity
system is installed, and that the prob
able cost would be around $4,000.
Ten-inch Kalamine pipe can be laid
for s1.25 a running foot, which would
bring the cost of the main trunk line
up to something like $4,000. To this
valves, services, etc, and other Incl
dentals that would probably foot up
200 residences in College Place that
could be supplied with water. At the
mestic purposes alone would be some
thing like $3.50 a month, to which
would be added water used for sprinkl-
ing and irrigating purposes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 23.-It is
stated on the highest authority that
the Knox bill introduced in the SEN
ate yesterday is not an administration
measure as has been stated. 1t stands
for a course which Roosevelt rejected
emphatically The president desired
AN amendment which would make clear
the manner in which judicial review
might be made, but Attorney General
Moody and the president could not

so Knox decided to frame a bill ex'

Council Has Plan 10 Effect
a Decided Saving
WILL Be ON EXCAVATION
Property Owners in District Fl
Still Up in Arms and Declare
Their Intentions

By computing the crushed gravel
base by the cubic yard instead of by
only where it is found absolutely
necessary, a member of the street
committee, in an authorized interview
this morning, stated that the council
hoped to bring about a material re-
duction in the price Of paving this
spring over the price paid last year
This was On the assumption that the
Warrent Construction company Sc
cured the contracts for paving streets
that the council has in mind.
Excavation Unnecessary in Places.
IN many of the residence streets
gravel the past few years we find that
an excellent base can be obtained
without the necessity Of excavating
and filling with a crushed gravel base
and by following this plan a material
saving in the cost of paving can be
effected to property owners.
Just what the saving will be de-
pends on the bid put in by the paving
company and the saving in excavating
that can be effected, but even taking
the bid price of last year, $2.17
square yard for paving, the saving
will be considerable In places on
some of the streets it may be found
it will not be necessary to use hardly
any crushed gravel for a base, while
on others, of course, it will be neces-
sary to use the full four inches. This
is figuring on the assumption that the
bitulithic is selected Paving last year
cost $4.371a for a 30-foot street; $5.75
for a 4O-foot street and 81. for a As
foot street. Hhese are figures obtained
from the city engineers office and are
given to offset statements that have
been made that the cost of the pave
ment last year exceeded these figures
Property Owners to Have Some Say.
The council, in addition to promising
to save as much as possible to prop
erty owners in the proposed improve
ments, is also to give property owners
a say as to the width of the roadway
in residence streets. On streets ad-
frsn
which will become business streets in
a very few years, the council will in
sist that fairly wide roadways be the
rule. On the other hand 80 and "a
foot pavement On residence streets will
be acceptable to the council.
Controversy Will End in Courts.
: The promise of the council to effect
as big saving as possible to property
owners was only one feature of the
paving controversy, which is being
| waged between the council and prop
erty owners in district No p over the
action of the council Tuesday night in
| refusing to include bituminous ma
| cadam and Victor pavement in the
specifications. 1t is doubtful if any
| thing in recent years has created such
! wide discussion as the paving con-
troversy. 1t is now almost sure that
| the matter will have to be settled in
the courts.
This is no laying down fight" Rob-
| ert H. Johnson, who issued an open
letter yesterday, said this morning.
Property owners in our district are
not favoring any particular company,
but all we want is full and wide com
petition. 1t is merely matter OF
dollars and cents with us, in asmuch
as the cost of paving our district will
run up to something like 100000"

arrangements were first-class. the
menu and cuisine were al that could
be desired, no detail to add to the

ASK FOR CLIENTS RELEASE
Allege the Prisoners Were Taken
From Colorado Without
Warrant of Law

BOISE, Ida, Feb. 23-Attorneys
Richardson, Miller and Nugent went to
the penitentiary this morning to inter-
view their clients, Meyer, Haywood
Pettibone, st. John and Orchard They
saw all except Orchard, whom the
warden refused to permit Lawyer Mil
ler to see, although the latter made a
formal demand. The excuse given was
that Orchard was too sick to See his
attorney. Richardson demanded fur
ther liberties for his clients and en-
tered strenuous objections to the man
ner of their treatment. The prison.
ers are not permitted to consult with
each other and the lawyers were COM
PEELED to talk to the prisoners separ.
ately. The prisoners are allowed to
censored by the warden. Meyer asked
to write one business letter and one
to his wife and was compelled to
choose which one. Daily newspapers
are refused them and they can see no
one but their attorneys. Attorney
Richardson is preparing papers to file
in the United States court to compel
the prison authorities to make more
liberal rules governing the treatment
of his clients.
Appear Before Grand Jury.
The prisoners will be taken to Cald-
well on a special train tomorrow morn
ing, when a grand jury will be en-
panelled, except possibly Orchard,
who is reported to be very sick, though
the prison physician has not been sum-
moned Miller claims the report OF
Orchards illness is a ruse of the prose-
cutiOn to prevent his seeing his client
and will ask an order of the court to
compel the warden to admit him to
Orchards cell.
Detectives have secured a key to the
cipher used by the Western Federation
in all it's correspondence and they have
possession of many communications
addressed to Orchard and the parties
at Silver City, Burke, Harrison and
Wallace, Ida, besides a number Of
others in Colorado mining camps. The
code enables the officers to dec'pher
the full history of many crimes com-
mitted during the past six years. Cap
tain Swain admits this is the most inn
portant work done by the detectives.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
The miners attorneys appeared in
the supreme court today and presented
a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
The application was made without
notice to the prosecution. Separate
petitions were filed for Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone. 1t is alleged that
the arrests were the result of a con-
spiracy on the part of Governor Good
ing. Presenting Attorney Vanduyn, OF
Caldwell, and Hawley, chief counsel
for the prosecution. The prisoners
are not charged with conspiracy to
murder or as accessories, but with di-
rectly committing the act. The ap-
plicants were taken in Colorado late
at night with no opportunity to con-
suit lawyers and denied every right
guaranteed by the constitutions of the
United States, Idaho and Colorado.
They are now held in the penitentiary
in close confinement and denied per-
mission to consult with each other or
their attorneys.
The matter was taken under ad-
visement and an opinion will be rem
dered at o'clock this afternoon.
