DRAMATIC END TO GORDON TRIAL
Admits Manslaughter and Faints in
COurt-Charges Against the
Police Probable.

NEW YORK March 6.-The trial
of Bertha Claiche for the murder of
Emil Gordon came to sudden term
ination today when the young French
woman pleaded guilty to manslaught-
err in the first degree.
That this, however, is not the end
of the case, and that an attempt will
be made to continue it as an inves.i
cation of certain class of policemen,
with Bertha Claiche as states evi.
dence, was made plain by the state
ments of both the presiding judge
and the defendants own counsel Just
as the prisoner was about to go on
the witness stand today, her counsel
went into conference with District At
'torney Jerome, at the end of which
one of the defendants lawyers held
moments conversation with the
girl At the close of the talk she
burst into tears and was so close to
a collapse that she had to be assisted
to the railing before Judge Davis,
where she was to plead. The clerk
asked her if she would plead gully
to manslaughter in the first degree.
The girl replied, yes" and tainted,

PAVE THE STREETS.

The streets of North Yakima are
about TO receive a little more atten-
ton. Their extremely bad condition
for the last few days has aroused the
property owners. Along with a gen
eral demand for paved streets comes
a desire for public parks.
For the lack of these two very es-
sential features this cvity suffers
more than it imagines. Strangers
are amazed and old-time residents
are beginning to take notice.
1t is to be hoped that the movement
inaugurated last evening by the prop
erty owners along Yakima avenue
will be earnestly pushed to finish.
The original lay of the city, which
made no provision for parks. should
not bar them altogether. With the
assistance of the ingenious minds of
the city. and a lively, general inter-
est developed, there is no reason why
definite plans should not be worked
out next Tuesday evening at the city
hall meeting

TREAT THEM FAIRLY.

The shops and other necessary
structures for operating a railroad
are to be constructed in North Yaki
ma by the North Coast road, accord
ing to President Strahorn. One con-
dition is made to his promise which is
worthy the consideration of those
property owners who own land where
the best interests of the road will
need it. The president of the new
road says that North Yakima will
have TO have some regard for the in
terests of the line
In plain English, that means that
avaricious land owners must not step
in at the last minute and attempt to
perpetrate a hold-up game. Many
valuable interests have been effectu-
ally driven from many cities by self
seeking owners of property. Resi-
dents of this city will realize vastly
more from this projected enterprise
by dealing fairly with it than they
will by acquiring a few additional
paltry dollars Let our regard for
the public welfare animate us once
in a while, and the results will be
readily apparent in a short time.

Commercial travellers in Georgia
are responsible for the Introduction
of a bill making it misdemeanor
for a landlord not to change the
sheets on the beds Of his hostelry
every day. They also want the bed
bug eliminated at the same time.
Those southerners are travelling too
fast; they should be satisfied with one
reform at time. Their prayer for
clean sheets should be granted, but
just think how much more time the
roomer folks will have on their hands
if they are not obliged to chase the
elusive bed bug when sunny spring
time approaches, and all nature
awakens. Some provision should be
made for the disposition of this sur
plus of time.

JAPAN NEEDS YAKIMA'S HELP.

Many times has the interest of the
world been manifested towards un-
fortunate sections of this country. AS
many times have the apeals of various
parts of the world been answered by
the prosperous generosity of the
American people.
Never has there been greater occa-
sion for sympathy-and real, practi-
cal sympathy-than just now, when
thousands of japanese are lingering
between life and death for want Of
food.
The fearful misfortune of the ISL
and empire is mater of greater con-
Germ to the state of Washington than
to any other part of the nation. We

certain policemen, growing out of the
case have been foreshadowed from
the beginning of the trial. The pros

was lured to his death by a plot in
which the policemen were assisted by
the defendant.
The young woman claimed as a
justification for shooting Gordon that
he kept her in virtual slavery and
forced her into the streets to make a
living for him. Abraham Levy Ber-
