ATTORNEY KRUTz
SAYS 1T IS OURS
ALL TAXES BELONG TO YAKIMA
Adjustment of Taxes Between Yaki-
ma and Benton Counties Taken
to State Attorney General.

The matter of adjusting the set
tlement of delinquent and current
county was taken up Tuesday morn
ing by Auditors Newcomb and
Gloyd of Yakima and Benton coun-
ties, respectively. The settlement
have been referred to the county
attorneys of the two counties, and
they will take the question up to the
states attorney general for his rul-
ing before the final settlement is ar
ranged between the auditors.
The delinquent taxes and current
taxes of 1904 amount to $5S,621. 5 5.
Benton county is entitled, under the
distribution of property and pay
ment of its debt, to 1876 per cent,
or $11,44S. This would leave a diff
ference of s47,17355 coming to
Yakima county, according to such
settlement.
Attorney KrutZ now comes for
ward and says that Yakima county
is entitled to the entire amount, be
ing $5S,62155, and he bases his con
tention upon section PA of Bal
myers code, which reads: when
a county is divided or the boundary
altered all taxes levied before the
division was made or boundaries
altered must be collected by the Off
GERS of and belong to the county in
which the territory was situated and
before the division or change"
Mr.. Krutz feels that his position
in this matter will be upheld by the
courts and he intends to stand or fall
by it, as the interests of Yakima
county are at stake.

MOODY IN THE
PACKERS CASE
SPRINGS SURPRISE ON DEFENSE
Declares Clause in Letter From
President Roosevelt Is Miscon.
strued by Lawyers.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6. - United
States Attorney General Moody took
an active part in the trial of the
packers today. He was called upon
by Counsel Miller, representing
Armour & Co., to produce the origin
al letter written to him by President
Roosevelt, or admit the authenticity
of the copy produced in the court by
Miller. The attorney general ad-
mitted the authenticity of the docu-
ment, but declared that the clause in
the letter which the attorneys for
the packers construed as meaning
that the department Of justice and
the department of commerce and
labor were working on the case in
union was not correct. The asser-
ton caused much excitement among
the packers attorneys, and they OBJ
jected to it as being improper be-
fore a jury The evidence Of the
other witnesses of today was not of
general interest.

Thirty Three More Cadets May Be
Expelled for This Offense IL Law

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The
president today made public letter
urging congress to modify the law
against hazing at Annapolis naval
academy. Unless congress shall
take prompt action to amend the
present law which makes it man
datory to dismiss any midshipman
found guilty of any form of hazing.
the secretary of the navy may be
forced to dismiss thirty-three cadets
within the next month in addition
to the eight who have already suf-
fered this penalty and the three
whose cases are now awaiting action.
Included in the list are cadets who
have been, will be or may be dis
missed, are midshipmen whose rec
ords are otherwise without reproach.

AMERICA VERSUS
CHINESE EMPIRE
A FEELING AGAINST FOREIGNERS
Situation nOre Serious Than During
Boxer Uprisings- Boycott
the Cause.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Reports
continue to pour into the department
of state from the diplomatic and con-
sular agents in China regarding a
rapid increase of the feeling against
Americans and things American as
expressed by edicts issued by the
local authorities in various parts of
the empire. While not admitting
the situation to be one of danger,
the officials here will not be sur
prised at any developments a month
may bring forth. Although directed
primarily against Americans, the
feeling of i'll will is interpreted by
orientals to have a far deeper mean
ing. 1t is declared to be anti-for-
eign and the indications are that all
foreigners with the possible excep-
ton of the Japanese will soon be as
keenly affected as Americans.
Informal representations regard
ing the situation have already been
exchanged between some of the Eu-
ropean powers but thus far this
country has not called any foreign
nations into consultation because
there is very general feeling among
the European powers that the Chi
nese are unjustly Disseminated
against by the Americans.

Prerogatives.

WASHINGTON. Feb. G. The SEN

to hear the discussion of Senator
Patterson's resolution on the action
of the democratic caucus, but gave
the entire day TO the review of the
prerogatives of the senate in the
matter of framing treaties. A ques-
ton was raised by Bacon in a speech
on his resolution requesting infor-
nation concerning the Algeciras con-
ference. He talked for three hours,
and was followed by Spooner Both
speeches were interrupted with de-
bate largely between Bacon and
Spooner themselves. and there were
two or three decidedly sharp tits
between them. Senator PATTERSON
gave notice that he would speak to-
morrow and Lodge gave notice of a

WALLA WALLA LINE.

WALLA WALLA, Feb. 1.-THE
franchise granted by the city council
some three months ago to parties
supposed at the time to represent the
North Coast Railroad company, for
the building and maintaining of a
steam or electric railroad through
certain streets and alleys in the city
of Walla Walla is now said 10 be in
possession of the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation company. The fact
that this franchise has been secured
for the Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
ton company and that its repr esen-
tatives have recently secured several
tracts of land in the vicinity of West
Rose and West Main streets. to
which point the company already has
its tracks built, is thought by many
to mean that preparations are be-
ing made eventually TO change the
terminal quarters in this city. This
would give the road a location for its
depot close 10 the business center
OF the city and would require but a
slight change in the line. Just what
is 10 be done with the other line COW

time, and representatives OF the

PREFERS DEATH 10 WORkHOUSE.
But Mate Burke. the Medal or Honor Res
cuer, Wouldn't Let Her Drown.

Michael Burke, mate OF the Correction
Department steamer Minnehannock, who
got a gold medal from Congress two years
ago for rescuing would-be suicides who
don't want to face a prison sentence, made
what he figured was his twenty-fifth rescue
yesterday afternoon. He pulled Della
.Beauchamp. a feather curler, OF lI3 West
Fifteenth street, out of the water just before
the steamer started for the afternoon trip
up the river.
The Beauchamp woman was sentenced TO
six months in the workhouse for disorderly
conduct by Magistrate Steinert in the Essex
Market cour yesterday. She was one Of a
dozen prisoners taken onto the boat in
charge OF Keeper Joseph V. Standish.
Burke, as usual, was watching all the pris-
oners, and when he saw the Beauchamp
woman throw off her Goa and hat and
jump over the rail OF the Minnehannock
he went in after her. He caught her the
FIRST time she came up, and although she
pleaded TO be allowed to drown he kept
hold OF her until a ladder had been dropped
alongside. With the assistance of the deck
hands he lifted her onto the boat. She
was barely conscious, and was hurried to
a ward in Bellevue.
