Thrift In England.

Chicago Journal.
 The statistics of British savings show noteworthy progress. In the last past fifteen years the depositors in the pos tai savings banks have doubled in num- Der, from less than 5,0Oo,000 to 10000 900, and the ratio of depositors to popu- lation has increased from 1 in to in 435. Deposits have increased from 26s,14O,s16 to S740,24s.1S1, and the number of post-ofice banks from 10000 to 15,000.
 The scope of the bank has been en- larged, SO that a larger amount can be deposited in any one year than hereto fore, and the total deposit of any one individual may aggregate $9S730. The British postal savings system is thus shown to be highly successful as an in centive to popular thrift.

He brought some exnerts down to look over the proposition. They told him that 1t was rood thing. Mir.

KILLS HER BRUTAL MASTER

NEW YORK. March G,--Thc trial Of
Bcrthn Claiche for the murder of Emil
Gordon came to sudden termination
today when the young French woman
pleaded guilty to mansluughter in the
first degree. That however, does not
end the ease and that an attempt will
be made to continue il rs an investiga-
tion Of a certain class Of policemen, with
Bertha Claiche as the states evidence
was made plain by the statements Of
both the presiding Judge and the de-
PENDANTS own counsel.
Just as the prisoner was about to
90 on the witness stand on her own be-
half today her counsel went into u
conference with the District Attorney
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 u collapse that she had to
be assisted to the railing before Judge
Davis, where she was to plead The clerk
asked if she would plead guilty to man
slaughter in the first degree. The girl
replied: "NcS" and tainted, falling to
the floor of the courtroom. When she
revived she became hystcrical crying
out: II will never sW mother on this
earth again"
Possible charges against policemen
growing out of this case have been
forcshNdowcd from the beginning of the
trial The prosecuting attorney declar-
ed that Gordon was mTcd to death by
u plot in which the policeman were
assisted by the defendent. The young
woman claimed justification for the
shooting of Gordon on the ground that
he kept her in vhSuol slavery and
forced her to the streets to make
living for him.
Abraham Levy, Bertha Claiches coun-
sci said late today that he had pledged
she would tell all she knows about the
relations of the policemen with women

Prospects Bright That Oregon, Washing

SENATOR FULTON ACTIVE

ASTORlAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. y. G., March G.-Western senti-
ment on the land question so far as a
new policy affects existing public do
main, is growing rapidly, With defeat
of the effort to repeal the Timber and
Stone Act. through the vote of the
house committee on public lands, the
west scored its first victory. and there
after found the struggle easier. There
i, not much prospect at the present
time of the senate committee on pub
lie lands reporting a measure for re-
peal of the act and making no provls-
ion for taking timber land as it in
tended three weeks earlier, and even
should the committee report such a bill
it appears probable that it would be
defeated in the senate without regard
to the adverse action of the house COM
mittee.
Senator Fulton is not relaxing the
fight he waged, and which was the key
note for the western movement, He is
still gathering data from every com'
try of his state, showing conditions OF
the public domain, and furnishing many
arguments why it is essential to wcs'
tern development that the states be
permitted to realize in some substNn-
tn manner ON their native resources.
Should the senate committee report
favorable, which is improbable the de-
frn,e of the western contingent in the
senate would be spirited and determined
These preparations are being made by
most senators while conceding that there
has been grave abuse of the timber and
stone act. The general sentiment IN
this respect seems to have been express

of all public domain timbercd land,

Victim OF Police Is Dis
charged on Habeas

There was something OF mystery
connected with the habeas corpus case
of Joseph Ford, who was released by
Judge De Bolt yesterday on 4 petition
presented by Ex-Judge Gear. Ford
was employed on the Oceanic steamer
Ventura, and was arrested il is said at
the instance of the second officer OF the
ship. The compliance shown by the
Honolulu police in makiug the arrest
was most remarkable. There was no
charge against Ford. The officers of
the ship made none. The police had
nothing, apparently, to hold the man
on. He was marked on the police reg
lister, as held for Investigations
When the Ventura passed through
Honolulu on her last trip to the colo

not appear that the officer preferred
any charge. Certainly he did not get
warrant. Ford was then at his dim
hel- Later "iiSl1 ne Qdu gone To MS
bunk, the second officer OF the ship
again asked that the man be taken into
custody. and Ford was taken to Jail,
where he has been ever since, with no
charge against him.
When the habeas corpus case was
called yesterday, Police Captain Clark,
John Kaaua and Deputy Sheriff Kala-
kiela told of the arrest and detention
of the man, but new nothing of why he
was held. County Attorney Douthitt
cauld say nothing on this showing. and
Gear did not have to. Judge De Bolt
at once entered an order discharging
the man. 1t is said, in lame explana-
ton of the affair, that the second Of
ficer of the Ventura intended to place
a charge against Ford, but went away
and forgot to do it.
