WOULD THAT MAKE YOU MAO?
Dan Raymond, on Appeal Of IS Days
Sentence, Spends IS Days in Jail
and Finds They Don't Count.

SEATTLE, JAN 4.-Dan Raymond
a negro, sentenced to serve Is days
in the county Jail for vagrancy,
thought he had completed his term
this morning and packed his belong
ings. When the jailers did not appear
at 9 O'Clock, the time when prisoners
are released, Raymond sent for Jailer
Larsen and inquired why he had not
been released. He asserted that he
had served the time that Judge Frater
decided was sufficient and he wanted
to breathe the fresh air at once.
To his dismay, Raymond was in
formed by the jailer that on the day
he was sentenced his attorney had
given notice of appeal to the supreme
court Because of the appeal the Is
days spent by Raymond in Jail have
counted for naught. Worse than that,
Raymond will have to stay in Jail for
at least so days more while his appeal
is being dismissed in the supreme
court These additional 80 days i'm
prisonment will not be credited on the
15-day sentence.
After Raymond's appeal is dismissed
he then has the privilege of beginning
the Is days sentence imposed by the
court If Raymond's appeal is dis
missed most expeditiously it will take
80 days to accomplish it. AS a result
Of the notice to appeal given by Ray
mond's attorney he will have to spend
at least 60 days in the county Jail.
Raymond was convicted in the po-
lice court of vagrancy and appealed to
the superior court. He was tried be-
fore jury in the superior court and
was again convicted. The sentence of
Is days was imposed on Dec. 10. No
tice of appeal was then given by Ray
mond's lawyers and his bond was fixed
at 5000 He could not furnish the
bond Raymond believed that the
time he spent in Jail would count on
his sentence and learned of his mis-
take for the first time this moving.
If Raymond perfects his appeal he
probably will have to spend six
months in Jail until it is finally dis
posed of. Then If the lower court is
affirmed he will have to commence
serving the 15-day sentence.

SARGENT WILL SUCCEED EsTEll
Have Full Charge Of the immigration
Service in the State-Make His
Headquarters at Seattle.

SEATTLE, Jan. 4-John H. Sar-
gent, Chinese inspector in charge at
Port Townsend, will fill the vacancy
in the immigration service caused by
the death of w. B. Estell. Inspector
Estell prior to his death had full
charge of the immigration department
in the state, and Inspector Sargent
looked after the Chinese business.
Commissioner of immigration Sar-
gent at Washington has recommended
to the department of commerce and
labor that the immigration and Chi
nese services be combined with In
spector Sargent at its head. The head
quarters will be in Seattle.
The government has already ap-
proved plans for a detention station to
be built near Smith Cove by the Great
Northern Steamship company. The
detention house under lease at Port
Townsend will no doubt be abandoned
when the office of the Chinese service
is moved here.
The officers at Washington believe
that Inspector Sargent will be able
to handle both departments under the
present plan of the government. There
was some talk of appointing COM
missioner of immigration Ior the state.
Inspector Sargent will no doubt as
sumo his new duties in the very near
future He is a popular officer and is
we'll liked by inspectors in both
branches of the service. The two de-
partments have always worked to-
gether and Inspectors Sargent and
Estell were warm friends

PRESERVING MINE "PROPS."
Tinbers to Support Gangways Create
One of Biggest Expenses.

One of the biggest expenses con-
nected with coal mining is found IL
the mine timbers, used to support the
various gangways Their destruction
by decay and breaking costs many
hundreds of thousands of dollars ar
nually, and in some cases the loss of
human life. Mine operators are fully
familiar with these losses. They know
also that the seasoning and the preser-
vative treatment of timber add to it's
lie in service in the mine But it has
only recently been established by ex
pertinent that effective seasoning ana
treating with creOsote, .carbOlinium
and zinc Chord as wood personalities
can be secured at a cost so slight in
proportion to the greatly increased life
of the props as to effect a material
saving. The experiment carried on
during the last few months by the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
comuany at its collieries near Potts
vile, Pa. under the direction of a
member of the forest service, has re
suited in an economy which demon
strates that the preservation of mine
props can be put on firm commercial
basis.
In the loss of mine timbers at least
60 per cent are destroyed by decay
and the remainder by crush. The per
centage charged to decay should be
even higher, because many of the tim
beers which break have already been
weakened by decay. Decay is prob
ably the cause of Is per cent of all
failures in mine timbers.
Decay in props is principally caused
by wood destroying fungi. Warm,
moist air, together with certain gases

commissioners have been appointed
10 visit every state that holds it's leg
lslatlve meeting this winter. These
commissioners are already in the field,
and are now waiting for the state of
washington to act before they can Sc.
| cure appropriations from their respec
tive commonwealth.
Further the exposition bill that has
been introduced in congress will not
be acted upon until WASHINGTON
stands sponsor for the exposition
And then congress will take it's cue
from the sum Washington appropri.
ates in determining on the amount the
government will spend in it's exhibits.
In speaking of the appropriation by
the state of Washington for the Alas
ka-Yukon-Paciic exposition. Henry E..
Reed, director of exploitation, has the
following to say:
Essential State Should Act.
ut is absolutely essential for the
success of the exposition that the
state of Washington shall act prompt
| ly and show generous spirit to it's
appropriation. The exposition bill
should be the first measure introduced
at the forthcoming session and should
be advanced to final passage without
unnecessary delay. Unless Washing
ton. through it's legislature, shall show
that measure of interest in the expo
sition which this corporation has
created in the highest official circles
in the United States and the Dominion
of Canada the result of this winter
work before congress and before the
legislatures of the various states,
which will be conducted at very con-
siderable expense to this company
will! be grievously disappointing to ev-
cry friend of the exposition. If, on
the other hand the response of the
state shall be prompt and liberal,
there can hardly be any doubt that. by
the middle of March, the exposition
will be state, interstate and national
in character. leaving the international
scope to be subsequently acquired
through foreign participation to be
secured by our own representatives.
Although this is a short session OF
congress. there is precedent for the
massage of exposition legislation at
short session, as was illustrated in
the case of the Buffalo exposition,
wherein the act of the Legislature or
New York became a law March l.
1899 and the act of congress was
passed March 5. 1899. This company
has proceeded as far as it can for the
present with preparations for the ex-
nosition of 1909 It's commissioners
TO Canada and the several states are
already in the field, and the Washlns
TON and Alaska members OF congress
are ready to act. All that remains IS
for the message to be sent out from
OLYMPIA that the state of Washington
has become sponsor for the. EXPOSE

PARDON COURT
WEEKLY BUSINESS AT ExEcU-
TIVE DEPARTMENT.
One Pardon Granted By The Governor
Clemency Is Asked In The BouIden
Case. Convicted of Larceny.
GOVERNOR TREATS VISITORS
WITH KINDNESS.

Governor Warfield today granted
pardon To Samuel Updegraft, who has
been confined in the penitentiary since
1892, having been convicted upon two
charges of burglary in that year by
the Circuit Court for Howard county
and sentsnced TO seventeen years in
each case, one term To begin after the
expiration OF the other.
The pardon was handed to Attorney
Alva A. Lamkin, of Baltimore, who
represented Updegraft. The prosecut.
ing witnesses in the case were the
Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad Company,
in one case, and the Misses Antoin-
ette and Virginia Pindell, residents
of Howard county, in the other. When
application was first made for clemen-
cy there wero protests from both of
these sources, but they were after
wards withdrawn and the pardon was
made with the full consent of those
interested. In addition to this tho
petition for pardon was signed by
the jurors who sat in the case.
From the record Updc9raft was
desperate criminal and not only COM
mitted bold robberies, hut was ready
to shoot TO escape. However, Ii Is
believed that he will now lead an
uOn0ob lAiO anu has AkAGCU w ANANO
the State. 1t is claimed for him
that ne has the assurance OF getting
employment as soon as he is released.
Application was made today to the
Governor for clemency in the case of
Alfred ID. Boulden, the probationary
officer of the Baltimore city police
force, who was convicted of larceny
in stealing a watch from a drunken
man and after pleading guilty to the
charge was sentenced TO serve two
years in the penitentiary. lie has
been confined several months. The
application in his behalf was made
by his wife, his wife's mother, Mrs.
NJ. l.. Wiedner, and his wife's sister,
Miss Annie Wiedner. With the women
also was Boulden's little daughter, y
pitiful cripple. The latter presented
tho Governor with a bunch of flowers
and was very kindly treated by the
Chief Executive, who gave her his
picture. The plea for the pardon OF
Boulden was based upon the necessity
that his family should have the ben
eft of his support.
The Governor treated his visitors
with great kindness and promised to
look into the case, but at the same
time gave them little reason to hope
that he would interfere with the sem
tence OF the Court. '"rhe conditions
which surrounded this crime,'' he
said, 'were very grave. This man
was employed to protect the public
and the helpless drunken man from
the very kind of thing that he did
himself. He brought disgrace not
only upon himself and his family, as
is usually the case, but upon tho
whole police force. / am extremely
sorry for the members of his family,
and will look into the matter, but /
