PARIS, June 3,-Preparations for
the interment tomorrow of the re-.
mains of Emil Zola with full national
honors in the Pantheon, the French
temple of fame, are now completed.

the Pantheon. Tonight in accordanc ,
with an arranged program the re-
mains were borne in a simple hearse
followed by the widow, other men,
bers family, and few intimate
friends to the Pantheon, where the
coffin was placed upon high cata'
falque erected in the middle transept
beneath a high cupola. Thousands
of persons who assembled around the
Pantheon raised cheers and groans as
the hearse passed. Rowdies attempt
ed to start a disturbance which prov.
ed failure.

DAMAGE SUIT IN
LAVEINE CASE
Plaintiff Asks for $4,000 for
Losses Sustained

A suit asking for $4,000 dam
ages was filed yesterday Afternoon in
the district court by N. Laveine
against A. X. Adelberg. Besides
asking the court to award him a iudg-
ment to that amount the plaintiff
also asks that the court issue an In
junction against the defendant re-
straining him from instituting and
prosecuting against him any further
suits at law which have for their OBJ
ject the collection Of a promisory
note given by his wife.
The grounds upon which the dam
ages are asked Is q series OF what
are alleged to be groundless and ficti-
cious suits instituted by Adelberg
against LaveIne and his wife. The
suit referred to in the complaint was
commenced in the court OF Judge
Chamberlin on August "a. and was
brought for the collection OF a note
to the amount OF s156. II was
transferred from the court OF T. e.
Hedal to that Of Judge Steele who
dismissed the action. and dissolved
an attachment which had been levied
on some household eoods belonging
to Layeine. The action was then re-
commenced in the court OF Judge
Hedal by Adelberg. and transferred
to the probate court. In the mean
time It had bobbed up in the district
court and was referred back 70 the
court OF Judge HedaI. When the ae-
tion came up In the probate court It
was dismissed as It was regarded by
Judge Mccall that the transfer bad
not been properly taken. After It's
dismissal the case was again COM
menced In the probate court and
yesterday a judgment vas awarded
the plaintiff against Mrs Anna La
yeIne. but the action against the hus-
band was dismissed. An action had
also IN the mean time been eommene-
ed and prosecuted 10 judgment in the
court Of Judge Blixt By Layeine
against Ladwig Roper. the constable
II had for its object the release from
his custody the goods under attach
ment and a favorable judgment was
awarded Laveine. This case Is nov
pending on appeal IN the district

INVOLVE ROOTS
LAW PARTNER
More Evidence Of Bribery Of SUI
preme Court Judges.

SPOKANE, Wash. Dec. Add
tional developments bearing upon the
seandalous conduct Of Judge Milo A.
Root. while occupying a position on
the supreme bench OF this state. have
come to light and are as startling as
those previously revealed.
That Judge Root was Influenced by
mis- former law partner, e. B. Palmer
OF Seattle, is rendering a decision in
the divo1ce suit Of Tony Richard
SON, of Soap Lake, near Ephrata. or
that he Was induced to give out in
formation as to what his decision
would be, is the serious allegation
which, with others, Is under investi-
cation by the committee OF the state
bar association.
Richardson refuses to talk on the
subject, but the incidents, so far as
they can be ascertained, indicate that
while the divorce suit was under
consideration Richardson was ap-
preached by Palmer with a p-oposi-
ton, for money consideration, to
influence the supreme court so that
II would favor Richardson. When
the decision was announced it was
for the amount mentioned by the at
torney.
Merritt & Merritt, of Spokane,
Richardson's attorneys, are said to
have advised him not to consider the
alleged offer. Seabury Merritt testi-
fed before the committee Of the state
bar association and vigorously CEN
sured Governor Mead last night for
accepting Roots resignation and
thereby shutting on impeachment
proceedings by the legislature.
While refusing to confirm positive
ly the report that his client, Tony
Richardson, had been approached by
e, B. Palmer, law partner of Supreme
Judge Milo A. Root, with PROPOSE
ton to FIX" a case Of Richardson s
in the supreme court for $4,000, Sea-
bury Merritt Of the legal firm Of Mer-
rift, Oswald & Merritt admitted yes
terday that there Is a foundation to
the story that 1t is being run down
by the Root-Gordon investigating
committee.
"All that ] know about this mat
ter has been laid before the investi-
eating committee" said Mr.. Merritt.
81 do not feel that 1t would be right
for me to give statement for pub
LEGATION before the committee makes
Its report. / was the second witness
called by the committee when it came
to Spokane, and all / know ! have

II do not approve of the stand TAX
en- by some attorneys and others who
have evidence that would throw light
on this matter and claim 1t is their
privilege to keep it a secret. The
people and the public have right to
know whether the serious charges
made against a member of the SUI
preme bench of this state are true
or not, and it is the duty OF every
citizen to help bring out the truth.
