MEAT WAR WAKES BLOODY
Seattle is Invaded by Company Whe

SEATTLE, Feb. 27.-Appreciating
the advantage Of entering the field
while public feeling is running high
against the local meat packers. on ac-
count of the recent advances in fresh
and smoked meats, the Sinclair Provi-
sion company, of Cedar Rapids. Iowa,
whose western headquarters is Port
land, has had agents at work in this
city for the past six weeks and it is
learned they have decided to establish
slaughter and smoke houses here for
the manufacture of smoked meats
Meats have been lower approximate
ly in Seattle than in any other city in
the country for years, due to the fact
that the beef trust has never had a
monopoly of the trade. In fact, Swift
& Company have practically only re-
Gently entered the field. Carstens and
the Frye and Bruhn companies have
been in competition with Swift. The
former is said to have recently passed
under the control of Swift & Company
To Frye and Bruhn the beef trust,
through Swift declared they must buy
some from them or they would make
disastrous cuts.
Frye and Bruhn held practically a
monopoly of the city meat markets and
with the prospects of this threat being
made good they are said to have ca
pitulated within the past few weeks
Prices have stiffened and are going up
regularly. The same is true of smoked
meats of every description.
The Sinclair company, which has
been doing some business here, has long
sought an opportunity to break into
this field, and the present advancing
prices have declared the time ripe and
they are ready to come and give nom
trust goods at fair prices.

Brown Case to Decide Whether
Insane Can Be Punished
FIGHT OF LAYERS At WASHINGTON
RESULT OF CONTEST IS EAGERLY
AWAITED BY ALL CRIMINAL
ATTORNEYS.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 27.--Assistant Attor-
for Spokane bound for Washington, D.
c., where he will appear before the
supreme court and argue for the state
in the Urquhart versus Brown insanity
case. This is the appeal of Sheriff Ur-
quhart of Lewis county. and the state
in the famous trial of Tom Brown for
murder.
Brown was arraigned before jury
on the charge of murder. He pleaded
not guilty. and urged as his defense
insanity. caused by epilepsy, cruel
treatment by his father and the degen-
eracy of the latter before the birth of
defendant He offered proof during
the trial of continuance and permanent
insanity from these causes, and his
demeanor during the trial appeared
to be consistent with his claim of gen.
eral insanity. He was acquitted by
the jury on the verdict. Not guilty. by
reason of insanity
He was ordered back to the county
Jail by the trial judge until the further
order of the court.
He then applied to the supreme court
prisonment by the writ of habeas cor
pus. The supreme court, finding no
constitutional objections to the statute
section $3.50 Ballinger's code and stat
utes of Washington, on the authority
OF which the trial judge was holding
him. denied the writ. He then applied,
through his attorneys, to the circuit
court of the United States for the
western district of Washington for
writ of habeas corpus, alleging in his
petition that he was detained in prison
in violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States, particularly to that portion
that reads nor shall the state deprive
any person of life, liberty or property
any person within it's jurisdiction the
equal protection of the law"
Judge HanfOrd heard the petition and
granted the writ of habeas corpus,
filing a written opinion in the case,
and ordering Browns release from
prison.
The outcome of the case is being
eagerly watched for by the criminal
lawyers of the state. as it will settle
