JUDGE bRENTS PREPARES BILL WHICH WILL

For the prevention of malicious and
frivolous prosecution of criminal ac-
tions and proceedings, Judge Thomas
H. Brents of this city has prepared a
bill which has been introduced in the
state legislature gy Representative
Mordo Mcdonald of Walla Walla.
Very often persons have commenced
criminal proceedings in the courts for
+he purpose of maliciousness or per-
sonal grudge rather than institute
civil proceedings. Under the present
statutes, the costs from such suits
where the charges which were mali
iously instituted have been without
'oundation it has been impossible to
AK the costs to the prosecuting wit
ness. The new law provides. however,

commenced with malicious motives.

Millinery Salesman Thought to

servers of the district attorneys Of
flee have thrown a dragnet over New
York to locate Mrs. ]. ]. Caine, who
was an early friend of Evelyn The
prosecution thinks it will be able to
throw light upon the first relations of
the chorus girl and White, and reveal
the motive of Thaw for killing the
architect. Mrs. Caine was the buyer
for a Biston millinery house. and lived
in the same house with Evelyn and
her mother when the Nesbits came to
this city. Mother and daughter were
in hard straits and Mrs. Caine helped
them. All efforts to find Mrs. Caine
have failed.
ALI the Thaw party were present at
the trial this morning. The prisoner
was in apparent happy frame of mind,
in contrast to his morose attitude yes
terday.
A roll of 100 new talesmen was call
ed so the examination could proceed
in the hunt for the last three jurors.
A number were examined but unsuc-
cessfully During the examination Of

letters Thaw read one that pleased
him greatly and he chuckled audibly a

bill
In case this bill becomes a law, it
is understood that the members from
the east side will make a strong fight
for at least an equal representation
On the commission which is to select
the site. and that unless it is assured
them they will oppose the bill. The
sentiment seems to prevail among the
east-siders that the reformatory ought
not to be located at any great distance
from the penitentiary, as the two in
stitutions will be closely allied.

house which he believes will have a
tendency to put a stop to the manu-

At present there are eight inmates
on the farm, while about 10 families
throughout the county are being cared
for. Many of those who. apply for
help. however, are people who make it
a business to secure aid from the coun-
ty. A county official this morning told
of one woman and her little girl who
had applied for help four times, who
was finally given transportation to

could render aid in caring for the

raised on the land and the proposition
would in a measure pay for itself.
In talking of the system in vogue
for caring for the poor, Mr.. Hunt says
he is heartily in favor Of the county
erecting suitable buildings for caring
for the needy. Mr.. Hunt also says he
is keeping the inmates at his own
