JURY DISAGREES.
Steve Adams May Never be Tried
Again for This Crime.

WALLACE, Idaho, March 8. - "Just
about what l expected"
That is Steve Adams view of the dis.
missal of the jury which declared last
evening it was unable to decide whether
he was guilty or innocent OF the murder
OF Fred Tyler.
Adams appeared in court this morn
ing, waived the right to ask fol- release
on bond, and returned to Jail.
The state asserts that the case will be
tried again, presumably at the October
term of court, but the opinion expressed
here is that Adams will never be tried on
this charge again. He will probably be
taken to Caldwell, Idaho, in few days,
to testify in the trial OF Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone, accused OF the murder OF
ex-Governor Steunenberg, and in case
they are convicted he may be tried later
as an accessory to this assassination.
Should they be released the idea is ad-
vanced here that Adams will be tried for
the murder OF Settler Boule rather than
tried again for the murder OF Tyler.
The trial just concluded is estimated
to have cost this county about $25, 900,
to which must be added the expense
borne by the state and by the Western
Federation OF Miners which provided for
Adams defense.

ARRESTED AT HOQUIAri.
An Oregon Jail Breaker is Arrested
by HOquiam Police.

Fred Deford, who was arrested in
Grant county, Oregon. for cattle rustling,
and who broke Jail at Canyon City last
September, was arrested in Houqiam

identified by Sheriff Ambrose, OF Grant
county, who telephoned his description
to the Hoquiam police, who Immediately
spotted and arrested their man. Deford
was seen at the Jail by correspondent
and said:
81 did not break Jail, but when they
left the door open one night made my
escape. had intended going back, as
wanted to see my wife and children, and
was awaiting letter when arrested"
Sheriff Ambrose, having Deford in
charge, left Friday for Canyon City, Or,

RICHESAND HONESTY
JAS. H. ECKELS DEFENDS OWNERS
OF LARGE FORTUNES.
Says rilliOnaircS FIRE as Honest as
School Teachers. Are the Ethics
OF Fortune Hunting Dishonest?
Holds Same OpiniOn..aS Rich Men
of Palestine.

Mr.. James Fl. Eckels is ever prompt
at defending swollen fortunes and for
tune swelling. He even goes out of his
way to do it. as If he held brief for the
swollen fortune interest. His last effort
was in speech at the national meeting
OF school superintendent at Chicago.
Mr.. S. Y. Gillian, of Milwaukee, had at.
tackled the dishonest rich for cheating
public schools, whereupon Mr.. Eckels
came to the rescue OF the over.rich and
"nnco guild" with the assertion that in
the vast majority OF cases the same hon
esty is applied in the gaining OF large
fortunes as in tue running of schools and
the teaching of children. With all the
revelations regarding the acquisition OF
large fortunes that have recently ap.
peared, Mr.. Eckels should have been
more cautious in his statement. When
swollen fortunes are spoken of, those
OF Rockefeller, Rogers, Hartman,
the insurance confidence men and the
like are brought to mind, and these men
were not honest. But the idea that
swollen fortunes are dishonest has more
than personal application. Implying
that the ethics of fortune-hunting are
dishonest. it indicates that owners of
these fortunes may be unconscious OF
dishonesty because they fail to realize
the dishonesty OF their ethical standards.
The idea penetrates still deeper. Own
ers OF large fortunes may be honest, but
their fortunes dishonest The man who
owns valuable privilege, valuable be.
cause it diverts the earnings OF others
from them to him, may be personally
conscientious. Nevertheless, his income
is essentially plunder. In the course Of
his defense of swollen fortunes, Mr..
Eckels thought it alarming that the ac-
cumulation of wealth is considered alb
horrent. What might not have been his
alarm had he overheard the founder of
Christianity when He said that the rich
shall hardly enter the kingdom OF heaven
This was pretty strong intimation that
in the Christian philosophy fortune
hunting and honesty are incompatible.
Perhaps Mr.. Eckes would have said
what he said in his Chicago speech
"People who criticise swollen fortunes
Internationally make themselves look
foolish and ridiculous to men of the great
business world" for "they show their
absolute shallowness and lack Of knowl-
edge OF the conditions underlying modern
business transactions Some of the
rich Inhabitants of Palestine are report
ed to have held that opinion OF the
Disturber whom they crucified.

kIbbE LIBEL CASE
THE JURY DISAGREES and NO
VERDICT IS RENDERED.
They Stand to 6 on the Question,
and We're Discharged. The Trial
Shows Some Peculiar Politics and
Politicians. Veteran Editor Re-
CeiveS Ovation at Home.

The somewhat famous criminal libel
suit against Editor Kibbe, OF the Elma
Chronicle. came to an end Friday morn.
ing when the jury, after being out all
night, filed into court and announced
their inability to agree. The jury was
discharged, and the two other cases
against kibbe were continued until the
next jury term.
The following is the jury, which stood
six for conviction and six for acquittal j:
G. Gaddis, J. G. Olson, +. Olson, r. j.
Briscoe, Fred Becker, Perry Wormer,
Ernest Reinkins, o. Hansen, II. Phelps
Morgan.
On the first ballot the vote was seven
for conviction, one OF them changing his
ballot later, after arguing the matter.
On his return from the trial, the peo-
pie Of Elma-who evidently regard him
as martyr to the cause of clean politics
gave Editor Kibbe an ovation that
amply repaid the veteran journalist for
the vexations Of the trial.
The complaint alleged that the Chroni-
Gle Of October 27, last, contained an arti-
Gle accusing County Assessor Archer OF
making false assessment OF the Poison
Logging Co. The case was bitterly
fought by County Attorney Boner and
w. l. Agnew for the prosecution, and
Marquis & Shields for the defense.
The testimony dwelt almost entirely
on the subject Of politics in Chehalis
county, as conducted by the bosses of
the G. o. p. aided by disguised demo-
crat. The testimony Of w. H. Abel, who
sat in the democratic county convention
as a democrat. revealed the fact that he
was engaged in an effort to placate
Kibbe in the interest of the republican
ticket, and, apparently had to do with
handling the republican swag, as he con-
cluded with the statement that he "told
Kibbe that he couldn't get dollar as
far as he was concerned"
Judge Rice, of Lewis county, conduct
ed the trial ior Judge Irwin, who was
conveniently absent from this piece OF
laundry work, and upon discharging the
Jury stated that the other two cases-one
by Archer and the other by Sheriff Nc
Whinney-would be postponed until the
next jury term.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
DIRECT PRIMARY BILL STANDS
GOOD CHANCE OF PASSING.
1t is in the Hands of q Conference
Committee Friendly to the Meas
ure, and is Recognized as a Plat
form Pledge by Many Members.
New Land Laws Considered,
Especial to the HERALD

Especial to the HERALD
OLYMPIA, March s The direct pri.
mary bill will 60 to free conference. II
will come back with proposal that the
dates OF the primaries be fixed at June
for the judiciary and September for the
general primaries. The second choice
feature will be retained. This followed
a long discussion held last night by the
conference committee and the action of
the house in refusing to adopt the senate
bill.
The whole matter became involved in
a queer tumble.
When the house bill was sent to the
senate it was replaced by the senate
committee on elections and privileges
with committee bill bearing the desg.
nation of "amended senate bill 80, SUBJ
stituted for house bill 323."
The senate treated the bill as house
bill when the lieutenant Cover nor ruled
Wednesday that the bill should 90 over
because it was senate bill and because
Wednesday was the day for the con-
sideration OF house bills.
When the bill went back to the house
yesterday it was treated as an amended
house bill and the house refused to con-
cur in the amendments. The senate
record shows that the committe recon-
mended it for passage as senate bill.
If Treated as All amended house bill in
the house and passed as an original sem
ate bill in the senate, the direct primary
might have failed, for there would be
nothing to show that the two houses had
passed the senate bill.
To change the record and make it
clear, Metcalf introduced the resolution
adopted by the rules committee last night
to alter the senate records, showing that
the senate had passed an amended house
bill. This at once re.opened the fight
made on the direct primary. Rands, OF
Clarke, the only senator who voted
against the primary bill, protested
against change in the records. He
contended that this was not fair to Sec.
retary Lysons.
The house conferees are Reid, OF
Pierce. Strowbridge, OF Snohomish, and
kirkpatrick, OF King, The senate con-
ferees: Presby. Of Klickitat, Metcalf, of
Pierce, and Knickerbocker, of King.
They met last night, though the senate
committee was not named until noon to-
day. The house committee reported
this morning to the speaker that no
agreement had been reached. Free con-
ference will be asked this afternoon.
Both houses usually adopt free confer
ence report. That will clinch the bill.
After long caucus lasting far into the
night. the insurgents decided last night
to support all but one OF the bills pre-
pared and submitted by the Ross in
vestigating committee. That exception
is the bill providing that the board OF
land commissioners shall consist of the
land commissioner, the board of tax
commissioners and the state Fl ire warden.
The insurgents will change the personnel
of the land commissioners to the state
auditor, the chairman of the tax COM
mission and the land commissioner. The
caucus was heated affair.

NORTHWEST LEAGUE
WANTS FAIR DEAL

Drop the Coast league from class
A to class B is the slogan of the
Northwest league magnates who
have gone east. They argue that
with only four towns left the
Coast league does not come up to
population required. 1t will be a
hard fight. The National assOcia-
ton had to promise everything to
get the oCast league, and are pre-
pared to make almost any conces-
sion now. Recently, acknowledge
ing the Coast a class A league, the
association endorsed Oakland
drafts from the Northwest league.
That organization will deprive Spo-
kane of Altman and Tacoma of
Dellar, unless prevented.
Both George Schroeder and Eddie
Quinn are ready to set up holler
that will reverberate al around the
country. Altman played third base
and change catcher here and show

THEATERS
SPOKANE

In '7The Girl Who Has Every
thing" here tonight with Isabel
Irving as that fortunate person,
Clyde Fitch is considered to have
done some of his best work in
bright dialogue and repartee. In
addition to its comedy the play
abounds in delicate little touches Of
human sympathy. Miss Irving is
eminently fitted for the part.
'The Heir to the HOorah" is the
Spokane attraction tomorrow after
noon and evening. 1t is the story of
western men who own a gold mine
and the troubles of one of them
who has been married by society
belle for his money. The play is
strong both in comedy and human
interest features.
The new Nome-Goldfield comic
opera, "The Alaskan" will be pre-
sented by John Cort at the Spokane
next week, beginning Sunday. The
production comes direct from a sue
cessful summer engagement at the
KnickerbOcker theater, New York.
It's totem pole song and dainty Es-
kimo pony ballet are new comic

much attention from theater-gOers.
