MURDER CASE DRAGS.
Legal Technicalities May Throw Bak.
err Case Out of Court.

Mondays Baker City Herald says
of the progress of the Moody murder
case
Apparently there is little probable
ity Of decision on the motion for a
direct verdict in the Widdowson muir
der trial until some time tomorrow.
The entire morning and a great por-
tion of the afternoon was occupied by
Judge White in presenting his argu-
ment for the motion and the time OF
action by the court will be regulated
by the length of the argument for
the state as presented by Mr.. Loinax.
Saturday afternoon the state rested
its case against Alex Widdowson, who
is held with Ira Brown charged with
the murder of Willard Moody, and
the attorneys for the defense offered
a motion for the court to direct the
jury to return a verdict of not guilty.
In his argument today Judge White
cited a large number of parallel cases
all of which, he contended, presented
defendant than the case at bar, and
all of which were finally decided In
favor OF the accused.
If the court allows the motion OF
the defense the case will be thrown
out of court but in the event that the
state wins the argument the testimony
of the defense will necessarily be pre-
sented and the case given to the jury
with only the usual instructions.

THE MONEY SITUATION.
Eastern Conditions Show a Slight I'M
provement But Money is In Great
Demand.

The weekly financial letter issued
by Henry Clews Of New York city,
says of the money situation in the
metropolis:
Moderate improvement developed in
the financial situation during the past
week. This was due chiefly to easier
rates for money, and to natural rally
in prices caused by short covering.
The decline in money rates was chief
ly owing to liquidation of speculative
accounts and the influx of currency
from the interior.
irresponsible rumors, also, that
Secretary Shaw would delay with
drawal of s30,0OOOO0 of government
funds now on deposit with the ma
tional banks served to temporarily
relieve the monetary tension. Time
money. however, remains scarce, par
ticularly for the longer dates; and, in
spite of much easier conditions in call
money, it is altogether premature tc
look for any material improvement in
the monetary situation.
Just now the market Is better sup
piled by the release of January divi
dend disbursements, which have moi

AS a result of this easier tendency
there has been a much freer offering
of commercial paper, the takings o
which have been largely curtailed fol

rates.
The most significant feature in the
money situation is the avalanche o.

Literary Recital February Is.

The Milwaukee Sentinei says of the
Rogers-Grilley company which comes
to the Frazer on February 8: One Of
the most interesting entertainments
given in this city this season was the
Rogers-Grilley recital at the Congre-
gational church last evening. These
two artists constitute perhaps the
most delightful team of entertainers
ever seen in this city. Van Veachton
Rogers selections on the harp were
rendered in a superb manner and the
elocutionary productions of Charles
T. Grilley, most of which were imper-
sonations, were of a humorous nature
and presented in most effective
manner. The church was filled to its
capacity, and the cordia applause and
repeated encores of the audience gave
emphatic evidence of their apprecia-
tion of the efforts of the entertainers
Should tn team ever return to this
city, It is safe to predict Ior them q

CARRIERS CHAUFFEUR
BLAMED by CARMEN

Ex-Governor George r. Carriers
White steamer, driven by Chauffeur
Tom Blackwell, had a mix-up with
Rapid Transit Car No. on the Nuu-
anu avenue line shortly before II
O'clock yesterday morning. resulting in
considerable damage to the automobile,
although no one was injured.
The accident occurred just above
only occupant of the machine and was
taking it up Nuuanu, while the cleo
trio car was coming down. The ma
chine was passing along on the right
hand side of the road and a heavy
dray was in front. An Oriental
stepped from the sidewalk directly in
front of the auto and Blackwell turn
ed his car out, according to his YER
sion of the affair, to avoid hitting
the pedestrian, SO that the machine
was over one rail of the track. 1t was
then, says the chauffeur. that the
Rapid Transit car, driven by Motor
man Plunkett, approached. Blackwell
says it was about fifty yards from his
machine when he saw it and was NOV
ing rapidly. He had stopped the ma
chine and was holding up his hand as
a warning to the motorman, but the
car smashed into the auto, throwing it
back some distance, the electric car
travelling about sixty feet before being
stopped. The autos front axle was
loosened, the engine was injured and
the frame damaged.
The story of the electric cars crew
IS to the effect that the driver of the |
was approaching on the
-ight-hand side of the street at a live
y clip and attempted to pass between
he car and the dray ahead. running
nto the trolley car for the reason that
here was not room for him to pass.
rhe crew of the trolley are emphatic
n the statement that Blackwel's
was to blame.

EMIGRATION COMPANIES
CAUSE Of TROUBLE

(The Japan Times, Friday, Oct. ~
According to the official year book
Of statistics. the average for six years
between 1900 and 1905 inclusive, shows
that about 30,725 japanese annually go
abroad. OF this number the emigrant
class occupy about A per cent. or say
1880. OF the latter again a moiety
go to Hawaii and the rest to other
countries. the United States taking
about per cent. of the whole. II win
thus be seen that alt the dire stories
Of labor gluttony and wage deprecfa-
ton by the dumping of emfgrant Jap
anese on the foreign markets are more
Imaginary than real Be that as il
may our present purpose is TO deal
with the emigrant question from the
standpoint of our national interests.
By observation we know that the
percentages above referred to vary
quite widely according as the emigra-
ton companies are active or otherwise
in their canvassing work their activity
depending on the latitude the Gov
eminent allows them for the purpose.
In other words. the tendency to emf
CRATE among our laboring class is
largely artificial and the result of as
siduous persuading. rather than OF
natural inclination. The question now
is. is it TO the real interest OF the
country to support and encourage
these companies? II should be re-
meubered that these companies are
money making concerns pure and sim
pie and care little or nothing for the
welfare Of the emigrants or the rela-
ton their business bears 10 the coun-
try's foreign affairs, so long as their |
directors fatten on commissions they |
exact from every individual going |
abroad through their hands We are |
now straining every nerve to develop !
all lines of industry at home and put I
on full steam all the productive pow
ars of the country. In these circum-

stances We very mucn doubt the wis
dom of sending abroad able bodied
young and middle-aged men, only to
thin the ranks of the labor army and
cause the consequent rise in wages.
True, Japan has before her the prob
lem of surplus population; but that is
not for the immediate future. Be-
sides, are these emigration companies
the best agency to solve the problem?
To be Of service in this respect they
have to be patriotic in their aim and
public-spirited in their work They
also must respect interna tional friend
ship. But these things cannot be ex-
pected of them. Indeed men of their
hiring often say-for instance in re-
gard to the San Francisco situation
that the best thing we can do is to
build up our influence in California
by whatever means it may be-and
control the politics of that state; for,
then the anti-Japanese agitation will
disappear. But naturalized as they
may become, we would not like to have
Westerners come in our midst and
set up a party of their own to COM
plicate the already tangled political
machinery. Thus with us, we must
not try to force on others what we do
not like to have done to ourselves,
especially toward Americans who are
the best of our friends abroad. Yet
the emigration companies, if they
could have their own way, would as
soon see the thing done as not. But
for the influences Indirectly exerted
by them we do not think the San
Francisco incidents would have de-
veloped a trend of affairs, of which 1t
is not easy to forecast the ultimate
outcome. Or to approach the subject
from another point of view, is it poll
tic to stick to the distant coasts of
western Pacific, whereas nearer home
We have large territories where it is
a matter of paramount Importance
that our interests should be firmly es-
tablished by process of colonization?
But there is no money for the emigra-
