CANNOT PAROLE
MURDERERS
Attorney Faulkner Renders
important Decision

Assistant Attorney General A. j.
Falkner in an opinion answering a
number of questions propouLded by the
state board of control has ruled that
prisoners convicted of murder in any
degree are not entitled to parole and
pardon under the indeterminate sem
tence law. He holds that the law does
not affect the terms of the present in
mates of the peritentiary except that
they are all eligible to aprOle and
pardon after having served the mini
mum sentence for the crime for which
they were convicted.
The opinion, which goes into num-
Der of important questions concerning
the indeterminate sentence law, is in
part as follows:
1.-The term murder being used in its
broadcast sense would include all de-
grees. AS the law in question extends
to the prison board power to parole
and release prisoners other than those
confined for murder and treason the
board will have no power to parole or
release airy one confined for murder,
no matter what degree.
Under the act the board is required
to adopt rules tending to prevent the
convicts from returning to their GRIM
inal courses and accomplish their re-
formation.
This is cumulative and does not in
terfere with the present power of the
board to adopt and enforce discipliL-
airy rules. Nor would it affect the pow
err of the board to try cOnvicts for vi
olation Of prison rules and if found
guilty to forfeit the time earned by
the convict for good conduct before
the commission Of the violation.
I'm answer to your further verbal
inquiry, the attorney general is of the
opinion that the act il. question does
not affect the terms of the present in
mates of the penitentiary; that the
present board has power to parole and
release any of the present prisoners
when they have served the minimum
sentence, that might be imposed by
law. except of course, those convicted
for treason or murder.
"As to those hereafter convicted and
sentenced under the present law. I
do not see how good time can be COM
puted, as the sentence is for an indefi
mite period, except where maximum and
minimum sentences are enforced"
E;~es ASsauJf Miniyo,,y,
Interpreting the law fixing the pen
atty for statutory criminal assault, the
attorney general holds that two years
should be considered the minimum.
The law provides that any one con-
victed of such a crime is subject to
sentence for life or any term of
years."

SUBURBS SHOW
RAPID GROWTH
Many New Residences and
improvements Under Way

Suburban districts east of Walla
Walla are enjoying decidedly healthy
growth in view of the decision of the
Walla Walla Valley Traction company
to extend it's lines up Pleasant street
to the Berney place and possibly to
other points in that section. According
to residents of that vicinity, building
activity continues undated. despite
the general high price of all kinds of
building material and labor.
Construction work on the new addi-
ton to the Berney school is progress
ing rapidly and the new part will prob
ably be ready for occupancy by the
time school opens in September The
fetal stone. the same as used in the
original building. The new addition
will be capable of accommodating two
hundred pupils and was made neces-
sary by the rapid increase in the
school population in that district.
Mrs Moore, who owns 10 acres near
the Berney school is building a hand
some addition to her home at a cost
of $500. Through the activity of a
number of residents, new Methodist
church has just been completed near
the school. The site for the new edi-
flee of worship was donated by E. G.
Roberts and George Tallman. The
building will be completed in time for
service s next week.
Many New Residences.
A number of new residences will be
erected in that district this fall by
parties who bought before the recent
advance in values. The TallmaE tract
has been plated and will be put on
the market shortly. In East Walla
Walla, c. A. Beck states a number of
residences will be built this summer
and fall. This popular addition gives
promise of becoming one of the finest
suburban residence districts around
Walla Walla, and a number of resi-
dences have already been built.
Closer in, George LaDue is contem-
plating the erection of two modern
houses on acre tracts he owns in Fern
avenue. within a half block of the
proposed car line. A movement has
been started to extend Fern avenue
north to Whitman street which will
be opened from Division street to the
Seeber road this fall. opening up a
desirable residence section, now mac
cessable owing to the lack of streets
and the old city dump, which will be
disposed of.

showed how close Orchard was to these
men,"
that Orchard was a rascal, but no fool.
His story, Of the Hercules interest be-
fore the Occur d'Alene troubles, Borah
held, was proven by the deed filed.
Attacks Enseivy.
Borah made a bitter personal at
tack upon former Attorney General
Engelvy of Colorado. declaring he was
untruthful.
I'm not surprised that Colorado had
hell within it's borders for 10 years,
when men like this can come and
preach doctrines he did on the witness
stand"
Borah declared there is no question
but that Haywood was the brains be-
Lind the conspiracy. He declared he
knew about it and in support of his
opinion cited a telegram sent him after
the murder by Simpkins. asking about
a lawyer to defend Orchard. The en-
tire feature of Borah's argument this
morning was in the demonstration rs
Simpllins connection with the Steun-
enberg murder outside of Orchards
testimony. He also argued by infer
ence that Haywood knew about Or
'hard's plans and declared it fact
that Pettibone dared not go on the
stHnd and deny he wrote a letter to
him in care of Simpkins. He said this
was an admission of guilt and an alb
soIute confirmation of Orchards story.
When recess was ordered the court adj
jCurned until tonight when Borah will
conclude. The case will reach the jury
about II o'clock Saturday.

Homemade Catarrah Cure.

Any one can mix right at home
the best remedyof its kind known.
The name Cyclone" is given to
the following prescription, it is
supposed, because of its prompt
ness in driving from the blood
and system every vestige of
c2tarrahal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no mat
ter where located. To prepare
the mixture: Get from any good
pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce
Compound Kargon and three
ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake we'll and use in
teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive
mixture, which has a peculiar ac-
ton upon the eliminative It's
sues of the kidneys, assisting
them to filter and strain from the
blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated,
are uabsorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or
catarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it
is the prescription Of an eminent
catarrh specialist of national
reputation.
