IN THE EDSTRICTCOURT
Disposition Of Various MATTERS by
Judge and Jury.

BY the holding Of the court that win
Van der Ploeg was the agent oe his
father In the transaction which inYoly-
ed the validity Of note held by the
father, H. Van der Ploeg, against Al
bertus Van Zuuk and others. Judge
Preston yesterday held that Van der
Ploeg was not an innocent holder Of
the note but must have had knowledge
OF its circumstances, and hence dis
missed the case against the dcfand-
ant upon suit for $1,000. The case
was an involved one and was exceed
lngly intricate.
A note Of Henry Pothoven for 81,
900 was in the possession Of Van der
Ploeg and In order to get an extern
sion PothoYen gave note for $4,000
with Van Zuuk as surety. The note
was blank one which was signedit
was contended BY the Van Zuuks. with
the understanding that It was to be
for but 500 or 5000, and Pothoyen
took the blank note to VIII Van der
Ploeg, who as agent for his father
filled in the amount Of the note,whicn
1t was TO replace, and considered the
transaction binding.
According to the law Van der Ploeg
when he filled in the amount OF the
blank note took chances upon whether
he was complying with the agreement
under which the signatures had been
obtained. Had Pothoyen filled It out
Van der Ploeg would have been an
innocent purchaser Of the note, but
since the work was done by the agent
of the holder. the Judge declared him
moi, entitled to recover upon the note.
since he took that chance of its being
flled out in accordance With the orig
inal agreement with the Van zuuks.
The affair was watched with consid-
cradle interest by the bar, p. S. Bous-
quet of Pella coming down to repre-
sent the defendants, and assisting C.
Yer Ploeg of this city in the trial Of
the case.

II they were Of value that was not
permissible, held the court, but il
the trees were yalueless, Green, it
was implied, might so dispose OF

j. w. Moody, who passed what was
believed to be a worthless draft on
Treasurer Eby, pleaded guilty to OBJ
tanning money under false pretense
before Judge Preston this morning
and was sentenced to three months In
jail for the offense.
Following the sentence Moody was
released without bonds. He was held,
however, for Des Moines where he Is
wanted to answer to similar charges.
The light sentence was the result OF
a situation rather complex. The
draft passed by Moody was drawn on
a sister. Had the man good reason
to expect that 1t would be paid. that is.
had he any money tied up with the
sister, since he made no representa-
tions in passing the draft, the crime
was not serious one, and without
proof to the contrary Moody's state
nsnt that he had money tied up with
his sister was held to be probably
correct.

In spite of the fact that the State oil
Washington has spent 81 100000 for a
capitol building in one spot in Olym.
pia and S250,0O0 more 10 another spot
in the same city, it is declared by men
prominent in political affairs that an
amendment will be submitted by the
Legislature to the voters to remove the
seat of government from Olympia to
Tacoma. Back Of this plan, it is de-
clared, Gov. Mead is the central figure.
In the manner termed "smooth," Gov.
Mead has completely fooled the people
of Olympia, and the "frame up" as
it is mapped out now does not per.
nit of a possibility of anyone aside
from the Pierce County delegation
knowing anything about the move
ment until the psychological moment
arrives.
Bitter fights have been engendered
in the capitol removal fight. Almost
every session of the Legislature has
witnessed the capitol removal question,
but perhaps never before as as strong
"frame-up" been made as at the
present.

be great. But States are supposed to

wants this one and il the signs of the
times indicate anything it is fair to
presume that Tacoma and Pierce
