NEW IRRIGATION
SCHEME NEAR PAS(O

A company composed of Seattle
parties has been formed for the pur-
bose of building plant for irrigT
ing a large tract of land near Pasco.
The company announces that it is
ready TO commence work immedi-
ately upon acceptance of their terms
by the owners OF land TO be watered.
Their proposition is that each person
owning land upder the proposed
bitches deed to the company one-half
their land in exchange for water
rights for the other half, says the Ell
lensburg Localizer.
As the land in its present condi-
lion is practically worthless and
would if irrigated be worth from
Si80 10 $500 per acre, it would seem
good proposition; yet many of the
land owners are holding back, and
the company has now issued an ul
timatum 10 the effect that unless the
land owners accept their terms with
lin the next 80 days the project will
be dropped If the present scheme
falls through it may be a long time
before that land is watered.
A number Of Ellensburg people
are interested in the proposition.

ACTRESS SUES
FOR STORED
GOODS
Puts In Claim for $4,000
Worth Including Ten
Stems.

Mrs. Mae H. De Roy, an actress, who
in private life is Mrs. Mae Lauers, ap-
peared before Judge Heisley, in Circuit
Court b today, against Amos II. Van
Horn, limited, storage man, to recover
about $2,0O150 worth of household ar
ticles, which she claimed as her prop
erty.
Mrs. De Roy put the property in stor-
age March 1, 1906, and in September of
last year became separated from her
husband, Abraham De Roy. Her claim
is that he took the articles away from
the defendant, and she now makes him
responsible.
Miss Marjorie Holzapfel, a
sister of the plaintiff who is also
an actress, testified to the articles that
had been put in storage. She said that
among other things stored were ten
"steins" worth $40.
The sisters swore that all they knew
about 1t was that when the owner tried
to get her goods she was told that they
had been replevined, although no notice
to that effect had been served.
John j. Hubbell appeared for Mrs.
De Roy and Ralph E. Lum for the
defendant.

HACKETTSTOWN. Nov. 20.-Fire
early today completely destroyed the
100000 plant of the William II. Ashley
Silk Company. manufacturers of silk
goods, In Franklin avenue. together
with large quantity of goods.
1t was about / o'clock when the
alarm of fire was given, and although
the department responded promptly the
firemen battled in vain to subdue the
flames, which rapidly ate up the
frame buildings in which there was
much inflammable material
The fire was discovered by the
watchman in a room adjoining the
boiler room. It had gained little head
way at that time, but was sufficiently
serious to warrant his turning in an
alarm. The response was prompt, but
on account of the character of the
plant it was impossible to save it.
The entire plant, consisting of two mill
buildings, boiler and engine rooms and
machine shop, together with all con-
tents, which included thousands of dol
lars worth of silk in course of manu-
facture and valuable machinery, were
destroyed The origin of the fire is a
mystery.

Mary O'Brien, 45 years old, In the employ
of Mrs. Susie NJ Williams. Of As Eighth
avenue, when placed under arrest this
morning charged with disorderly conduct
The remark was made when the woman
was locked UP. When she was arraigned
before Judge Herr in the Second Precinct
Police Court the woman's memory became
defective and she couldn't remember any
thing she had said or done about which
any question might be raised
Mrs. Williams alleged that about $50
o'clock this morning she woke the de-
fendant and told her to put up lunches for
some of her boarders. But Mary refused
to get up. When tcId the second time she
became abusive and upon being discharged
and ordered to leave the house, Mrs. Will
Jams said that the woman snatched up
basin and struck her over the right temple
with It, raising a large lump on her mis-
tress's head.
The prisoner admitted that she had been
drinking, but denied that she had struck
the complainant. When first arraigned the
OBrien woman began TO give Mrs. Will
Jams piece Of her mind. but was cut
short by the judge. Then she refused to
say anything. and it was some fifteen min
ntes before Judge Herr could draw from
her the Acknowledgements that She had been
in jail several times. when she had said
she was not afraid to go back. Judge Herr
gave her the choice Of paying a fine of
so or going back to jail for thirty days
che chose the latter and was led away.

NEW TREASURY

in Various Cities.

WASHINGTON Nov. 2O.-The Treas
ury Department today received tele-
graphic advices from the assistant
treasurers of the United States at New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago, St Louis, Cincinnati, New
Orleans and San Francisco of the
amounts Of the applications for treas
ury certificates received by them.
The kilograms were in cipher, and it
is not expected that the translations
will be made and the amounts known
to the officials themselves until later
in the day. Whether this information
will be made public is very doubtful.
as Secretary Cortelyou has adopted a
policy of not discussing the situation,
and this is being strictly followed by
all of his subordinate officials. 1t is as
sumed that the secretary will at once
begin the allotment of these GER
tiffcates. but where or in what amounts
can be only a matter of conjecture.

KILLS HUSBAND
AND SHOOTS
herself
Jealous Wife Fires Fatal
Bullets Into Man Who
Was Asleep.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Half crazed
by jealousy because of her husbands S
attentions TO another woman, Mrs.
killed her husband, Robert l.. Hitch
cock, compositor, as he lay sleeping
in bed in their home in the Borough
of the Bronx early today. Then, turn
ing the revolver upon herself, Mrs.
Hitchcock inflicted several wounds in
her head and breast. from which it is
expected she will die.
The man and woman were married
about a, year ago. Recently they have
had frequent quarrels, and Mrs.
Hitchcock has frequently complained
to her neighbors that her husband has
been spending his evenings with an
other woman when not at work.
Hitchcock returned from work at 4
a. IN. today and went TO bed. While
he was sleeping his wife arose, placed
the muzzle of a revolver to his breast
and sent two bullets through his heart,
causing instant death.
Sitting on the edge of the bed she
fired three bullets into her breast, and,
these failing to kill her tried to shoot
herself in the head, but caused only a
scalp wound. Notwithstanding the
severity of her wounds Mrs! Hitchcock
was still conscious when ( neighbors
came, and she remained conscious until
placed under arrest and sent to a hos
pital.
She told the police that she did the
shooting and was glad of it, and then
she tainted
An opium smoking outfit was found
in the Hitchcock apartments. Nearby
was an Episcopal prayerbook open at
the prayer reading: 30, Lord, we be-
seech Thee, absolve Thy people from
their offenses that through Thy bounti-
full goodness we may all be delivered
from the bond of those sins which we
have committed" Besides this was a
newspaper clipping of poem entitled
Bessie Mccall" the last stanza Of
which read:
"Oh, the price that we pay for the sin
gle mistake.
oh, the souls that men slay
And the hearts that they break.
Oh, surely somewhere, God who pities
us all,
Will care for the soul of Bessie Nc
Call"
In the last line the words ''Bessie
McCalr' have been run through with
pencil. and instead was written in d
feminine hand:
''WilI care for the souls of Lottie and
Bob"
Mrs. Hitchcock had been married
twice, and has a son Harold in Balti-
more, and a daughter, Florence, in
Philadelphia.

FIGHT BEGINS
ON PERKINS
TAX ACT
Court of Appeals Gives Rail
roads and State 3 Days
to Argue Measure.
Special to the Evening start


TRENTON, Nov 20.-Argument upon
the constitutionality of the Perkins
Main Stem Tax Act was started in the
Court of Errors and Appeals today. The
State is represented by Attorney-Ge
eral Robert H. McCarter. John r. Har-
din and former Justice Bennett Van
Syckle.
The railroads are represented by
Richard v Lindabury, James B. yre-
denburg. William H. Corbin, Charles L.
Corbin, George Holmes and former Sen
ator William ID. Edwards.
Before argument was commenced the
court informed counsel that they would
be allowed the remainder of today, all
they desired on Friday to make their
respective arguments.
Both the State and the railroads have
prepared extensive briefs which are
practically the same as were used in
the Supreme Court at the time the act
was attacked, and which was subse-
quently declared to be constitutional
by an opinion written by Justice Pit
ney, in which Goyernor-elect Fort then
a Justice, concurred
Edwin G. McKeag, city counsel of
New Brunswick, also appears in the
case and will argue on an appeal taken
by the Pennsylvania Railroad upon
certain taxes made on railroad prop
erty by the local assessors. There has
probably never been a case heard in the
Court of Errors and Appeals where
so many of the leaders of the New
Jersey bar appeared in the same case.

Two Hundred Sailors and

VladivOStOk.
BEFORE TAFT'S ARRIVAL
BEFORE TAFT'S ARRIVAL
Intention Was Apparently to
Strike Terror Into the Discon-

VLADIVoSTOK, Nov. 2O-Two hun
dred men who took part in the mu-
tinies of the crews of torpedo boat de-
stroyers Skory, Serdity and TrevotslSy
and of the sappers were shot to death
here just before Secretary of War
Taft's arrival, and was evidently in
tended to forestall any effort on the
part of the revolutionary element to
call attention to conditions during his
presence.
Even with this number of the mutt
nous sailors and citizens put to death
the authorities are in fear of another
uprising. The secret police are care
fully watching the terrorists and mall
contents. but it is generally agreed that
the situation is anything but promis-
ing.
On October 30 the crews of the three
torpedo boats mutinied, headed by the
Sl1ory, which hoisted the red flag,
steamed out into the harbor and
opened fire on the city. This act i'm
mediately followed the mutiny of sap
pers on the preceding day, when one
of the barracks was almost captured
and the people terrorized.
The mutiny on board the Skory was
not even suspected by the commander,
Lieutenant stoer, who gave his life in
defense of the ship, when the crew
arose at dawn and overpowered the
officers Immediately after gaining
- A.. el{ n a
cable and steamed out into the harbor.
Not only did they shell the city, but
they answered the fire of the forts and
the ships manned by loyal crews The
uprising on the Serdity and Trevotsky
did not reach such alarming propor-
tions, but the men refused to fire on
the Skory
The shells of the Skory burst in many
parts of the city. One shell was aimed
at the City Hall, and bursting near it
destroyed one part of the building.
Many people were torn to pieces and
scores of houses destroyed by the expert
gunners. Fire started in many por-
tions of the city, and was extinguished
with the greatest difficulty.
Finally the Skory's tunnels of sheet
steel were torn to pieces, the fragments
killing many of the crew. Her armor
plate was pierced with the calling
fire from the forts and loyal ships, and
finally the deck was strewn with dead
and injured. Finally 80 many were
killed that the management Of the boat
was lost and it drifted ashore. Every
man of the crew was either killed or
injured.
The uprising of the sapper battalion
was as unexpected as the mutiny of the
sailors. Their attempt to take one of
the barracks was frustrated by ma
chine gun and rifle regiment sta
toned there. Scores of the insurgents
were killed and wounded, and the 9TH
ers captured

,That military circles in this city and
the various officers in command of the
companies which go to make up the
First Regiment are on keen edge await
ing the demolition of several official
heads, was made plain last night and
today through conversations and secret
conferences that were held In private
places, as well as In some public estab-
lishments where military men are wont
now and then to gather
That Captain Camfield and his mill
tary friends are going to be aided in
the captains fight for recognition in
the National Guard, despite the fact
that he is charged with being "of a
religion that is not right" In the eyes
of some people belonging to the First
Regiment, is now no secret.
That Governor Stokes has already
been made acquainted with the alle-
cations in this now celebrated affair
is known from trips made last night
by men outside of the military ranks
VINO are determined to ascertain
whether the National Guard of this
State is to be used for purposes of re-
ligious persecution.
Captain Camfields friends, and not
the captain himself, are making the
fight. and it will be no surprise If the
Governor orders another election for
major than that held last Monday, ano
declaring It to be invalid.
The story told in the EVENING
STAR yesterday was a principal topic
of conversation on the streets last
night, and the few who gathered in
the armory rooms last night aired their
views on the matter regardless Of the
threats made by Brigadier-G General
Campbell of what would happen to
those soldiers who dared comment on
officers or their official acts.
1t IL now generally believed that the
reason for Captain Camfierd not being per

position of major of the First Regiment
was because he is a Roman Catholic An

city, who said:
