Livestock Men in Convention.


1t was a happy arrangement that
brought the livestock men and the
dairymen of Washington into conven-
ton at Spokane at the same time
the week of December 10 to Is. There
is much in common between the two
great organizations, and it is but nat
ural that they should want to take in
each others meetings whenever the
opportunity offered This was the case
at Spokane, and it seems to have been
taken advantage of to the fullest eX
tent by those who were there.
The livestock mems convention was
opened by President E. F. Benson on
December II, with G. l.. Smith secre
tary pro tenn. in place of E. M. Roth
rock who could not attend. The bust
ness session was devoted to routine
matters, and after the appointment OF
committees the association took up
the papers and addresses on the pro
gram.
President Benson spoke upon the
legislation needed to protect the pub
lie from diseased meat and of the
necessity for the association taking
up this matter, if it were found that
such meat was being foisted upon the
people, ut is certainly to the inter
est of the association" said Mr.. Ben
son, "to secure the enactment of such
legislation as will stop the sale of such
products, and it is also our duty to
further this legislation"
Prof E E. Elliott, of the State Col
lege at Pullman, told of the need OF
several enactments which would pro
tect the live stock industry in this
state. He advocated q measure that
will better the lien law of Washing
ton in so far as it touches the cattle
interests, a law that will prevent
fraudulent purchases of stock upon
the part of promoters by the requir-
ing of the final certifcatiOn of the
pedigree of an animal with the di-
vision of animal husbandry of the de-
partment of agriculture of the state

marian.

GREAT BRITAIN WAVES
CONTRiBAND PRINCIPLE

The Hague, June 26.-The official
documents of the peace conference
were distributed last night. They
contain the text of some Of the propo.
ons presented to the conference. The
American proposition presented by Jo-
seph 81. Choate runs as follows:
Private property of all citizens Of
the signatory powers, with the excep-
tion of contraband Of war, shall be
exempt on the high seas or elsewhere
from capture or seizure by the armed
vessels or military forces Of said pow
ers. Nothing in this rule shall imply
in any way the inviolability Of vessels
which shall attempt to enter q port
blockaded by the navy forces Of said
power, nor the cargo Of said vessel"
The British proposition says: ''ln
order to diminish the difficulties met
by the commerce Of neutral powers In
case Of war, the British government IL
ready to abandon the principle Of con-
traband in case Of war between powers
which sign convention adopting this
principle. The right Of search will
not be exercised, except to prove the
neutral character Of commercial yes
sells"

JUDGE IS WAITING
FOR TRUST LEADERS

Portland, Or. June 25.-Lipman,
Wolfe & Co and Meier & Frank were
fined 500 each by Judge Wolverton
in the United States district court
yesterday for entering into combina.
Jon in restraint of trade in the furni-
ture business. Several other smaller
firms were fined $40 and $25.
Judge Wolverton said, in imposing
these sentences that 80 far the fines
have been nominal, because none Of
the real instigators Of the trust had
been brought into court. There are
about 100 defendants yet to plead to
the charges in the Indictment and
many of these have had their appear
ances set for July 10. when they will
plead or enter q demurrer to the in
dictment. 1t is inferred from q re-
mark made by Assistant United States
District Attorney James Cole that the
ringleaders of the trust are included
in those who have not yet pleaded.
Judge Wolverton said yesterday:
Ever since this indictment was re-
turned it has been the effort Of the
court to get after the moving spirits
in this organization; as yet I have
been unable to do So"

MUST SUPPORT Wife
OR SERVE JAIL Term

Walla Walla, June 24.-H Pink s.
Crabtree fails to support his wife for
the next six months he will forfeit
$500 bonds and go to Jail according to
the decision Of Judge Brents. Crab
tree is under bonds to work faithfully
and provide for his family, which, &C.
eording to his wife's story, he has
failed to do.
Under the new law q man can be
sent to prison for such offenses, but
Judge Brents believed it would be best
for all concerned if Crabtree we're
made to work and turn the money over
to his needy wife rather than that he
should go to prison for term, and
thus prevent his family from gaining
any benefit from his labors.
Crabtree left the city about ten DAYS
ago, taking with him his child. Mrs.
Crabtree Immediately notified the OH.
GERS and they instituted search for the
missing man. He was finally arrested
and returned to Walla Walla.
County officials expressed the opin.
ion that there will be fewer cases of
wife desertion under the new law.
Tor they are determined to enforce the
statute and make examples of those
who do not act according to it's pro-
visions.
