Fine Range at Guantanamo.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-Re-
ports received of the small arms tar
get practice at the naval station at
Guantanamo indicate that the navy
possesses admirable facilities for such
work There are means of conducting
practice with field pieces and boat
guns No matter how large the fleet
visiting at Guantanamo, all the boat
guns could be fired in practice at one
time Practice with revolvers can be
conducted at the same time while other
work is going on. There is a line of
ITO targets at various distances and
unsurpassed means of taking care Of
a large body of men and keeping up
the records Of the work. This effect
iveness is in strong contrast to any of
the ranges in the United States.

A SHAM VICTORY.

However much it may be disguised
or denied, the fact remains that the
railroads have won the fight in the
senate of the United States over the
regulation OF freight rates, says the
Colfax Commoner. Senator Aldr1ch
and the other representatives OF spe-
cial interests have succeeded in draw
ing the teeth from the Hepburn bill and
in amending it to such an extent that
their masters are satisfied. The most
pitiable feature of the whole business
is that President Roosevelt, instead of
admitting his defeat and calling upon
the people to elect a senate which will
do their bidding, has preferred to COM
promise with his opponents for the sake
of winning a sham victory and has
given his approval to an emasculated
measure. He has sacrificed the inter-
ests of the people and betrayed the real
friends of the measure in order to
crafty his vanity and to make capital
for his party. He has wabbled and re-
peatedly changed ground, but has at
tempted to conceal his movements from
the people by rapid fire Of blank cart
ridges and rhetorical pyrotechnics.
No doubt the masses Of the people
will be fooled into believing that
Roosevelt has brought Aldrich and his
followers to terms, but Senator Ia
Toilette, the leading champion of the
measure on the republican side,
knows that the compromise amend
ments are a victory for the railroads
and has been making his protest by
voting with the democrats.
Mr.. Roosevelt will continue to pose
as the invincible and unyielding cham
pion of the people. but in reality he
has followed the example Of the tickle
Donna Julia, who
whispering, 4 will ne'er consent
consented"
Only the president did not whisper,
but shouted his defiance from the
housetops with characteristic strenu-
osity Senators Aldrich and Crane and
the other champions of special inter-
ests are not doing any shouting. 1t is
not their way, but they are smiling
quietly, because they have carried their
point, and watching with complacent
amusement the celebration by the
Roosevelt admirers of his great sham
victory.

However desirable it was to defeat
the free silver agitation in 1896, did the
end justify the means employed to ac-
complish that defeat? asks the Wall
Street News. 1t is not too much to
say that the money spent in 1896 to
prevent the election Of Bryan resulted
in political debauchery, such as was
never before experienced in the U ited
States, and from which the politics and
business of this country have not even
yet recovered. 1t is not far from the
truth to say that the country has suf-
fered more by reason of the political
corruption of the 1896 campaign than
it would have suffered from the tri-
umph of free silver, lamentable as that
would have been. Bryan's triumph of
free silver would have given the mar
kets a terrible shock, but Bryan could
not have really done much harm in a
practical way, and the country would
have made a speedy recovery from the
disaster, but it will take many years to
recover from the effects of the political
debauchery which has been brought
about by the abuse of millions of dol
lars in political campaigns.

Arrested in WalIa WaIIa.

ArreSte0 IN WaIIa WaIIa.
Hoffman was arrested in Walla WAL
la two years ago while at work on
the John Hoffman Eureka Flat farm.
He had been in the country only few
weeks when the local officers learned
murder. He was arrested and locked up
in the county Jail. At the time Hott-
man declared that he was innocent,
and in an interview claimed that he
had never lived in Missouri. Shortly
after his arrest a special officer ar
rived from Missouri. When he went to
the Jail he told Hoffman that Mrs.
Meyers, his accomplice, had made a
full confession, detailing how she and
Hoffman had killed her husband. Hott-
man then broke down and admitted the
murder. He was taken back to Mis-
souri, and placed on trial and convicted
on his own confession. When the wom-
an was placed on trial it developed that
the story told to Hoffman by the officer
about the alleged confession of the
woman was untrue. She made a des-
perate fight to secure an acquittal, but
the confession made by Hoffman was
used and she was also convicted. They
were both sentenced to be hanged, but
appealed the case to the state supreme
court. When arrested in walla Walla
Hoffman was waring the hat Of the
man whom he assisted in killing.
Brutal Murder.
The murder was one Of the most
brutal in the history Of the country
Hoffman had been meeting the woman
unawares to her husband and they de-
cided to make way with the man so
they could marry. One night while
Myers was asleep, Mrs. Myers and
Hoffman entered the room. The woman
struck her husband on the head sever
al times with a billiard cue, rendering
him helpless, and Hoffman then cut his
throat with razor After chOpping the
body into small pieces they placed it
in a sack and hid it in the brush near
small stream. Hoffman at once
started for the west and landed in
Walla Walla securing employment from
John Hoffman.
When Myers was missed an inves-
tigation was begun by the authorities
and his body was found by the Off
GERS. At that time Mrs. Meyers
claimed that he had been killed by two
negroes with whom he had trouble sew
eral days previous to the murder. She
stuck to that story during her trial, |
but was unable to produce sufficient
proof to convince the jury that she was
innocent Of the crime.

PROCEDURE IN RATE HEARING

Much of the discussion over the rail-
road rate bills has revolved around the
the Esch- Townsend and the Hepburn
bills have protested against having the
same commission do the inves tigating
and decide the case. This has been an
swered pretty well by the record of the
present interstate commerce commits
sion. which has shown that it is pos
sible to act as both grand and petit
jury in the adjudication of rates.
This matter of procedure needs some
clearing up, however. Hearings before
a commission are conducted at the
pleasure of the commissioners without
any fixed rules. In last years
hearing of the merchandise rate case
before the Washington commission. a
clash arose from a misunderstanding
as to the procedure. Shippers who ap-
peared to testify in favor of rate re-
auction We're cross examined by the at
torney for the railroads and they pro-
tested against it. They had no attor-
ney to protect them, and made the
point that railroad witnesses had not
been cross examined.
That is not the function of the at
torney general. however He is attor-
ney for the railroad commission. and
not for compliments who may appear
before it. His duty is to advise the
commission and to appear for it in any
litigation ii brings. After the COM
mission has made an order if the rail-
roads resists. he will prosecute, but be-
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-05-22

fore the order is made the commission
is supposed to give both sides an I'm
martial hearing, not to espouse the
cause of either.
The interstate commerce commission
allows witnesses for both sides TO De
cross-examined, just as court does
hut that Is not necessary, and shouio
not be required unless both sides are
represented by attorneys. A hearing
before the commission is an inquiry,
and not a trial. Both sides have
right to be heard in protection OF their
rights. but If any further testimony Is
wanted the commission should ask the
questions. What the commission wants
ia a full statement Of facts, without
preiudice. That ought to be secured
without the necessity of putting wit
nesses under a fire Of cross-examina-
ton by hostile attorneys. Commas
sioners ought to be able to get at the
essential facts without such assistance.
It is a recognized fact that shippers
hesitate to put themselves In opposi-
ton to a railroad, and they Will GER
tainly be backward about acting II they
Lnou, that the railroads counsel is 60
ing to force them to tell all about their
priyate affairs.
