THE JURY AFTER AN ALL MIGHT
SESSION AcQuIT YOUNG
CHADWICK.
MOTHER TO BE TRIED
A Case Which Attracted Statewide
Attention Ends In a Full Acquittal.

At o'clock Friday morning, after 10
hours of elaboration, the jury in the
trial of Eugene Chadwick, aged u, on
the charge of numbering his father,
Charles e. Chadwick, of Atlanta, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. Through
the night three and finally two men
had fought hard for verdict of guilty
and 1t was a sleepy and haggard group
OF men which filed into court this
morning to announce their decision.
On the first ballot the verdict stood
three for conviction and nine for &C
quittal. For several hours the nine
argued with the minority and about
midnight one was brought over to
their side. 1t was not until early this
morning that the other two were per-
suaied to agree with the majority.
Mrs. Chadwick was in court and
mother and son fell into each others
arms and wept. The court room was
crowded, nearly everybody who had
been watching the trial sitting up
through the night.
Prosecutor Stearns declares that de-
spite the acquittal Of young Chadwick,
Mrs. Chadwick must 60 on trial on the
charge of murder also.
Inc crime LOT WHICH Eugene Cnao-
wick was tried was the murder of his
father from ambush September "a,
1907. Chadwick, a mill owner, was
shot In a lonely road five miles south
Of here and close to his home. The
prosecution based its case on the sons
threats to kill him If he injured his
mother; tracks Of shoes supposed to
be those of the youths near the scene
of the murder, and a plea OF guilty
made by Chadwick in justice court.

He will Immediately begin the con-

put down as a certainty that Japan is
not buying battleships or cruisers
from Brazil or Chill, but is making
great strides in the torpedo destroy

"No one knows what they have or
what they intend to build. They are
courteous and conservative. England

by Japan to submit plans for the con-

hours last Sunday afternoon Sc that
surgical operation could be per-
formed on Mrs, Thomas Trebell, OF

Mrs. Trebell, who was returning

Will the telephone Users Of Astoria be
wise and profit from knowledge OF the
unfortunate experience Of other Pacific
Coast cities with the double telephone
system?
Read this letter from citizen Of
San Bernardino, California,
where the so-Ca1led Home Tele-
phone Company was given fran
chise some five years ago:
San Bernardlno, Cal, June 4, 1907
Mr.. c. G. Lundbade, Eureka, Cal.
Dear Sir: Yours Of May 28th at hand. In reply
will say yes, we in fight get rid of our double
telephone system and that fight will go on until the
end for which it was started shall have been accom-
plished
Our people have learned from experience that
double system is the most absurd institution ever de-
vised by man. Nothing more senseless can be con-
ceived double system means in reality'a half sys-
tenn. Because not three per cent of residence own
ers can afford two phones and but phone gives
communication with but half of all who have phones.
My neighbors who pay for the home phone must
come to my house if they would speak to anyone who
has Sunset and must so to my neghbor if would
call anyone of half our city who regularly pay for
phone service Mayor Barton tells me that his neigh
bors use his phone about as much as they do their
own And soft will be with you if your people ereso
foolish as to establish phone system that necessi-
tates it, The merchants are of compelled to
pay for both phones. This they cannot escape so
long as residence people must order goods They see
the uselessness of the thing and it every time
they pay double for servce grocers and butchers
are determined that it shall not continue.
Our people practically unit against the
double system Had they known a few years ago
what they have since learned, proposition for Sec
ond system would not have been tolerated
Do not be misled by the falacy Of competition"
It does not exist. Each company has its schedule of
prices to which it rgidy adheres and that is the end
of their warfare Remember this, it is thousand
times easier to keep corporation out than it is to
oust one that has a foothold.
What the city needs is not poor service from two
systems, but good service from one.
Yours truly,

TO MA..u AMERICA LINEN
Massachusetts Man Invents Process
 Which Makes That Possible.

A Massachusetts inventor has per- fected a process of transforming hax straw into fibre that promises to add millions to the revenue of the Amer ican farmer. says the World to-day, and to make possible the manufact- ure of linen fibre in the United States.
 By the laborious process followed abroad it takes from sixteen to thirty weeks to transform flax straw into linen. There is first the ''rotting' which in Belgium is done by weight ing down the flax straw in pools of water exposed to the sun until the wood or "shive" is routed away from the fibre.
 Then comes the 'scutching' or beating of the dried straw. After this it is "hackled'' by pulling the straw through the course teeth of combs fd the purpose of removing snarls anc tangles. The softening and bleaching processes number twenty-five after all this has been done before the finished linen fabric is ready for market. > Now comes Benjamin c. Mudge of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology with combined mechanical and chemical process that makes linen out of straw in twelve hours. In place of the European method, which consists very largely in leaving the natural rotting process to accomplish the disintegration of straw. Mir Nudge goes at this work by machin- cry until the raw flax fibre has been wrested from the flax stalk.
 Then the chemical process begins and l can testify from observation that. using three or four chemical baths, Mir Nudge first degums, then bleaches, softens and in the end makes glossy. white and exceedingly tough fibre out of what in the beginning looked like q mass of tangled horse hair.
 The European method yields about ITO pounds of fibre from 1000 pounds of straw and sacrifices the seed crop. The Nudge process secures 250 pounds of straw after the seed have been saved. If converts the 'shive" vast ed by the European method into a pulp for paper making and also saves the "tow.''

SOLOMON'S CHOICE.

If King Solomon were alive now and had offered him the choice be- tween a police magistracy and a seat in the supreme court of the United States, the chances are that he would accept the lower position. All the attributes that popular thought as- sociates with the judicial office-the dread power to dispense punishment or grant immunity, the educative ef- feet of continuous contact with the sorrows. the weaknesses and the fears of humanity; the loral exer- else involved in balancing rights and wrongs against each other and in relation to actual conditiOns-these all do hedge about the humble judge of the first instance far rlore than his hierarchial chief of the supreme bench. The latter's time is almost entirely given up to determining the meaning of thus" or also" in this or that statute. When some echo of a more dramatic world reaches him. it is largely in the form of a query as to whether the trial judge should have admitted one bit of evidence and excluded another. The rewards and punishments which the highest tribunals eau offer are only those which the law allows. The police magistrate. on the other hand, continues the tradition of the primi- tive judge-king who made his own law as he went along. He sentences a wayward boy to term of years in the navy; he subjects a faith cure practitioner to the test of healing a designated patient within a week. in lieu of going to prison. For a man driven to theft by starvation he so. cures employment. This IS really being a judge.
