air, Chesterfield is kept in close con-
finement and rigid watch is set over
him to prevent his doing harm, either
to himself or the other prisoners. He
is regarded as a desperate maniac, un-
safe to be allowed any privilege.
After Chesterfield's conviction for
assault in his studio on Third avenue
in Seattle, he was one Of the worst
criminals the King county officials
have had to deal with. They have
feared his release, believing he would
return to Seattle, to make further
trouble there. His sensational attempt
to blow up the Jail after his girl wife
had smuggled in dynamite and a re-
volver, is Indicative of his character
The shot that he fired at himself when
cornered by the officers is the one
that has resulted in his insanity.

NO PROCLAMATION TO ISSUE
Mayor keI|ough Passes Flag Day
to G. A. R.

"No Isdo not intend to issue a proc
lama ton regarding the observance of
Flag day. next Friday" said Mayor
KeAough to a Statesman reporter this
morning.
1.-The G. A. r. has issued a bulletin
requesting it's observance by means of
flying the flag and kindred decorations,
I understand, and l believe that will be
sufficient for those caring to commem-
crate the day."
Mayor Kellough regretted the fact
that there will be no official observ-
ance of independence day in Walla
Walla this year.
Zone of the most judicious ways of
advertising a city is through the me-
dunn of a public celebration, said the
mayor, "but then the municipal cleo
ton is near at hand and promises to
be a warm one, and nothing advertises
a town like a hotly contested cleo
tion.''

fully 5000 people crowded into the
Bush street temple this morning when
the Schmitz case was resumed, but
many failed to gain admittance to the
court room. Many artists and special
writer's from eastern publications We're
present. Many women were in the au-
dience and a special detail of police
was on hand to handle the crowd.
Ruef came into the court room ac-
companied by Burns and Langdon. He
was carefully groOmed and perfectly
composed.
SchmitZ entered a few minutes later
and appeared paler than usual, but
was dressed with care.
Campbell began the argument
against the admission q Ruef's testi-
mony as soon as court was called to

In contradiction of this, however, is
brought up the statement that the w.

line under the charter and transfer.
None of the resident officials of the
w. & c. r. would deny changes are
forthcoming, but all refused to discuss
the new move, declaring nothing has
been definitely decided.
Later 1t was announced that PreSi-
dent Howard Elliot of the Northern

within a week, when the proposed

WALLULA, Wash, June 12-E. S.
Clark, engineer for the North Coast,
started crew yesterday near Two
Rivers to survey a line from the CO.
lumbia river to Walla Walla.
Indications now are that the road
will run through Juniper Canyon
about a mile east of Wallula until it
strikes the o. r. & N. track, about
three miles from Wallula.
That line will probably be used for a
distance of six miles to the point where
it starts to ascend Divide Hill.
1t is thought the line from this point
will follow the water grade Of the
Walla Walla river for about four miles,
where it will again connect with the

He moved all this testimony be
