and LeCtured

Louis Grossmiller this morning
pleaded guilty of selling liquor to an
habitual drunkard and was fined $500,

Yesterday and the well known sa
loonman was arraigned before Judge
Thomas H. Brents in chambers this
morning He was represented by
Sharpstein & Sharpstein.
When Judge Brents asked the de-
fendant if he had anything to say for
himself, Mr. Grossmiller requested the
court to be lenient with him on the
ground that he did not know that he
was violating the law. as he, did not
know thai the man he sold to, was an
habitual drunkard.
1t is your business to know said
Judge Brents. There have been hu-
merous complaints that this law and
that law We're being violated by sa-
l1onmen and this sort of thing
sale of liquor to habitual drunkards
was passed as a protection to helpless
women and children and it must be
enforced to the letter. To sell liquor tc
an habitual drunkard, who has a fam
lily dependent upon him for support
is 10 take food from the mouths OF
starving little ones-it is rObbing the
weak. those who have no other pro-
lection than this law can give them
Such offenses must be stopped.
should this court heed your re-
quest for clemency on the ground that
You did not know the man was an
habitual drunkard, it would be re-
cogniZing an excuse that could be
pleaded by every violatOr of the law,
not only by this class of offenses but
by all Others"
1t is stated that the case will be
appealed TO the supreme court, with
the idea of having the law declared
unconstitutional.

done TO the crops as yet this fall on

been normal and there is little cause
for Encouragement.

Walla Walla valley no serious dam

From all Indications said Lyman

Weather tomorrow. The rain this
morning was general, reaching from
the coast and extending into Idaho.
But this afternoon the barometer is
going up and there is little danger
OF prolonged rains. Farmers, l think
need have no fear, the rain now makes
1t more unlikely that we will have any
more later. While / can say nothing

KELSEY SITUATION.
PROSPECT OF FIGHT.
The Governor Expected to Prefer
Charges-U'hat VIII Senate Doe
TBy Telegraph 70 The tribune. !

by Telegraph 20 The Tribune.l
Albany Feb. 12-FinaI decision on the matter
Of the resignation Of Superintendent Kelsey is
looked for tomorrow with the return of Gov
ernor Hughes from Boston. The day passed
mere without any announcement from Superin-
tendent Kelsey as TO his proposed action. He
was al his desk in the Insurance Department,
but refused to discuss the affair for publication.
Ills manner was more confident than 1t was last
week, and this bears out the announcement that
he will fight any attempt Governor Hughes may
make to GUST him.
The extension of time granted last week by
the Governor, that Mr.. Kelsey might consider
the situation further, Will expire Tomorrow All
Of Mr.. Kelsey's friends feel certain that he will
follow the advice given to him by them
not to let himself be forced out OF Office under
fire" and will convey TO the Governor to-mor-
refusal to resign. Then, all concede, moth
ing will be left for the Governor but to ask the
Senate to remove him.
Careful canvasses Of the Senate situation have
been made by sons Of Kelsey's personal friends
in that body. n few Of them and a few other
Senators who are not among the Hughes
men," hope that the affair may develop in such
shape that distinct issue with the Governor
may be made. and a genuine lineup for or
against Governor Hughes result. Mr.. Kelsey
himself realizes that in that case some Senators
who are his close personal friends would side
with the Governor. not that they believe in him
less. but that they consider loyalty to the Gov
ernor the more urgent duty.
There is Disgusting the fact that Mr. Kelsey
IS being pushed into fight in which his sup
porters Will be chiefly the men here who are
DESTROYS Of coming 10 conclusions with the
Governor. and think that the Kelsey affair Will
be good chance any other. Mr.. kelsey's
closest friends wish on his account that the
issue could be avoided. but they know that
Governor Hughes took his stand only after ma
ture consideration. and that lie is not the kind
of a man 10 abandon II.
In the talk Tonight. as the tenseness Of the
situation has become apparent, politics are
dominant, politics facttOnal, Well as party
politics. Ii is felt that split in the Republican
ranks, IL the Democrats hold solid would save
Mr.. Kelsey. The Democrats as a body are
hardly likely 10 vote FOR him. but q majority Of
the nineteen, acting individually are expected
TO side with him.
As the affair ia seen here. the Governor will
probably send request 10 the Senate that
Superintendent Kelsey be dismissed from office
Following the precedent, this request viii no
referred to a Committee-that on judiciary, in
all likelihood. This committee will call on the
Governor for his reasons. and the answer made
by Governor Hughes. If II comes up to the ex-
pectations OF most of the legislators viii specify
the charges, beginning with the Insurance De
partment, and taking up some of the other
things recently brought to light in which Mr.
Kelsey has been concerned.
