FIRST STEP TOWARD
FREE CITY DELIVERY
Council vii. Take Steps Soon
To Put City in Order

In reply to mmuniCations to
the department setting fourth all
the details Of The growth of bust
ness i'll the local postoflicc and the
proper showing as to population,
Postmaster llinman has received
official notice that a special agent
ri TN Ircc delivery division will be
here soon to look into the matter
with a view to passing uIon the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting the service
in operation in EIlcnsburg. In
view Of the steady growth of the
the business in this Office it has
been known that we are entitled to
service, bat the department moves
slowly, and in order to hasten the
day Mr.. Human made a special
effort to have the case advanced.
Just when the special agent will
be here is not known, but it is pos
s;bl- that he can complete his work
50 that the service can b. inaugur-
atcd ii The beginning Of the fiscal
year July but this is hardly
expected, and it may be fall before
the details are completed. There
are certain requirements which the
city must meet before Uncle Sam
VIII send OF, his carriers. The
hou7cs Of the city must be system
atically numbered in a manner to
meet the approval of the postofiice
department. The sidewalks must
be found by tht inspector i'll a sat
isflctory condition and the area
lighted arlilicially must meet re
quircmcnts.
The city council will be required
t. secure the numbering of the
houses and this step Will, of course
be taken in time so that no delay
may result from non-colnpletion CT
the work. The sidewalk question,
it is believed, will be presented in
satisfactory manner, while the light
matter will also meet the demands
Of the department, The matters
disposed of, there remain the cX
amnatlons and selection of carriers,
districting of the city, etc. In
view OF the progress already made,
there is good reason to believe that
I.llcnsburg will be enjoying free
delivery in the near future. Capt.

CRlMINALLY INSANE
LEDGER COMMENTS
Sound Argument and Ground
Well Taken

BY reason of insanity Mrs. !. c..
Norris of Ellensburg has been
found not guilty of the murder of
her foster son, Thomas Murray.
and she will be committed to the
state penitentiary in accordance
with the provisions of the Graves
criminal law enacted by the
late legislature. There was no
doubt of her insanity. She Ell
tered the young mans room
and with a revolver blew out his
brains. Evidence showed she had
threatened, without a sane reason,
to kill him before, and the family
physician testified she had been
insane for three years. Beyond
doubt she should be confined and
ought to have been confined before,
but many persons will regret that
an insane person should be COM
mitted to the penitentiary. That
is provision of the law against
which humane instincts protest.
The penitentiary is not equipped
properly for the care of the insane.
1t does not employ alienists, and
the surroundings are not what they
should be for the insane.
The Graves law says that any
person who shall have committed
crime while insane or in a Condi
ton of mental responsibility, and
in whom such insanity or mental
responsibility continues to exist,
shall be deemed criminally insane.
It is really a contradiction in terms
to say that an insane person COM
mits crime. The contradiction
is further emphasized when a jury
finds, as it did in the case of this
woman, that the person accused Of
crime is not guilty by reason of
insanity. Still, although not guilty
the woman is committed to the
penitentiary. This is the law and
the court at Ellensburg was only
following the law.
Let us suppose the woman had
been arrested at the time she made
threat and before she got hold of
the revolver with which she, in a
demented condition, blew out the
brains of her fostered son. In that
event she would have, in all likeli
hood, been found insane, and she
would have been committed to a
state hospital for the insane, not
to the state penitentiary. 1t is
right to seperate the dangerous
from the harmless, but it IS not
right to commit insane to penl-
Tertiary not equipped and not in
tended for the care of the insane.
The Graves law has good features,
but the next legislature should re-
move the inhumane features. The
law makes provision for release in
the event of recovery, but it GER
tainly does not encourage recovery
when it sends the insane to all III
stitution not properly equipped tor
their care and treatment.

VOL. XIV.
DECISION MAY BE
LATE FOR ACTION
Ruling on Direct Primary Law
Brings Complications

OLYMPIA, Feb. 5. Unless some
vigorous effort is made to force
matters there is small probability
of the Constitutionality of the pri-
mary law on the pending case
reaching a decision in the supreme
court until too late for thc governor
to call a special session Of the leg
islaturc to enact 4 new direct phi
mary law, i'll the event of the law
being found unconstitutional. 1t
has been presumed that, III the
event of such a decision being rcnd-
cred a sufficient time before the
November election, Gov Mead
would call a special session.
The case brought by - Gordtn
MaCKay, local attorney, against
the constitutionality of the law has
been upheld by the Thurston county
superior court is now on appeal to
thc supreme court. Mr.. MaCkay
the appellant, has, under the rules,
until February Is to file his brief,
but, as announced yesterday, he
has stipulation with George Bigc-
low, the Olympia city attorney, by
which briefs are not to be filed until
July. After the appellant has filed
his brief the respondent has thirty
days in which to file his answer,
following which the respondent has
fifteen days in which to reply.
Even without the stipulation OK
tending the time, this would pre-
vent the case being noted for hear
ing before the May term, but with
the stipulation it means that it will
not come up until months later.
Under the rules of the court,
however, if the opposing attorneys
honestly desire an early decision,
they can give oral arguments and
submit the case at any time on
brief, citing their authorities in the
printed document, and the court
NAV take it up and dispose OF ii
Immediately On the other hand,
if subsequent proceedings are III
accordance with the stipulation the
whole matter rests upon the indus
try of the Judge to whom the case
is assigned to write the opinion
after the hearing. III some i'll
stances opinions are not written
many weeks after the hearing has
been had.
Mr.. Mckay shows no disposition
to hurry the matter at all. In fact,
he stated today that he would not
be prepared to take it up for an
indefinite period.
Should an early adverse decision
be had OH this or any other test case
the governor, if he desires, can cal,
a special session of the legislature
without delay. He is not restrict
ed to definite time for notice to be
qivcn. The constitutional pro-
vision covering the subject is sec
ton 7 of article H., as follows:
He Nhe GOVERNOR may on OK
traordinary occasions, convene the
legislature by proclamation, in
which shall be stated the purpose
for which the legislature is conven-
ed. -
The Secretary Of State at Olym-
pia. has favored this office with a
copv OF the Primary Election Law,
passed by the last session of the
legislature. We contemplate pub
fishing this law in full in The

HAPPY 33 YEARS,
SAYS HUSBAND HAS
FOUND AN AFFINITY
South Orange Wife Declares He
Moved and Took All
the Furniture.
CLAIMS LESLIE HAS
$l2l MONTH INCOME
Halts Divorce Suit and Begins
Action in Chancery for
Separate Maintenance.

Although Robert Leslie and his wife,
Mary, of South Orange, had lived to-
gether for thirty three years and have
a daughter who is married, approach
ing old age proved no bar to separa-
ton, and Mrs. Leslie is now suing for
separate maintenance. A divorce suit
started last year has been withdrawn.
Vice-Chancellor Howell today heard
the story of their troubles.
Named in the bill is Mrs. Ellen
Michau, of IA Vose avenue, South
Orange, as correspondent. According
to this document. Mrs. AIichau dis
placed the wife in Leslie's affections
to such an extent that he left home,
taking with him all the furniture and
household goods, to live with Mrs.
Michau, leaving Mrs. Leslie no alterna-
tive other than to live with her daugh-
ter Mrs Charles j. Searles.
Leslie denies this in his answer
which is a general denial as we'll, and
declares that he was forced to move on
account of slump in his business. At
the time of moving, he says, he offered
to take his wife with him, but she re-
fused. He then offered to rent a small
er house, but was met with a second re-
this he offered TO pay IS a week to Mrs
Leslie, who might then live where she
chose
eve told him that we would con-
slider this" said Mrs. Searles ON the
stand today, but we never had the
chance, as the offer was withdrawn the
next time we saw him."
Mrs. Leslie is failing in health, ac-
cording to her BILL and has no means
of support After the alleged abandon
nent, until October 30, 1907, her hus-
band paid her IS per week, but since
then she claims inc has made no pay
ments. Leslie. in his answer, says that
was because he has received practi-
sally no money since that time.
Mrs Leslie declares that her hus-
band IS the owner of property in South
Grange and East Orange, which pays
a monthly rental of S12l. In addition
to this. she says, he recently realized
$1,000 from the sale of property in
South Orange sold under foreclosure
proceedings. Her husband declares
that all of the property is heavily
mortgaged.

WOMENS CHOIR IN
ORANGE BALKS At
A NEW ORCAN|ST
Singers in St. Venantiuss K. {.
Church Will Be Replaced
by Others Tonight.

Objection by the women's choir Of
st. Venantiuss Roman Catholic
Church, of Orange. TO the selection of
new organist for the new organ just
installed, will result in the formation
of another choir there tonight under
the direction of the pastor. The old
choir will be disbanded. 1t refused to
sing yesterday.
At the l0:30 O'Clock mass yesterday
morning, the Rev. Peter Kur2, pastor
of the church, said he was sorry to in
form the congre cation that the old
choir had refused to sing. because the
organist who had presided at the old
organ had vacated the position owing
to a difference of opinion Therefore
he had decided to reorganize the choir,
with a new organist, and that a fine
musical program would bep repaired
for Easter Sunday
It was learned today that the former
organist, sister, was a member of a
religious order, TO whom the young
women who made up the chair had be-
come so deeply attached that they did
not like the idea of any change.
The new organ was donated by Wolf
gang Winter.

DEATH At FIRE;
20 ARE INJURED
Blaze Starting in Cellar Destroys
Tenement in Pearl Street,
Manhattan.
YOUNG FIREMAN BRAVELY
RESCUES HIS OWN FAMILY
Many Overcome by Gas Fighting
Flames Waist=Deep in
Water.

NEW YORK, April 6.--Hemmed in
by flames which roared and cracked
about her, Julia Isola jumped from the
third story of the blazing building, 40
Pearl street today, and was crushed TO
death on the stone sidewalk.
At least twenty other tenants were
badly injured, half q dozen seriously,
and many fremen were overcome by
gas. The building. four-story tene-
ment. was destroyed.
The fire was discovered In the cellar
by two men ON their way home. They
ran to the front door, but found it
locked. Then they threw stones against
the windows yelling fire.
The IsoIa family, on the second floor,
were the first to appear. They opened
the side windows, but there being no
fire-escapes there Rudolph Isola, fol-
lowed by his aged father. his two
brothers and two sisters and Thomas
Sweeney, a nephew, ran TO the front
of the house. They were bravely res
cued by fremen.
The older girl, Julia, saw the flames
coming nearer and leaped out the win
dow, falling, crushed, at the foot OF the
ladder that was just being raised. She
was carried into the home of neighbors
and was soon OIL the way to Hudson
Hospital, but died in the ambulance.
While this scene was being enacted
Fireman Michael Conway, of Engine
Company No. l, only three months on
the force, who mad arrived with his
company, saw that the building was
the home of his family. Running to
the rear he found his mother, father,
brothers and sisters on the roof of an
extension of the main building. He
put up a ladder and carried his mother
and father to safety The other MEM
bers of the family were taken to the
street by a neighbor.
A family named Morgan in their
fight forgot their baby boy Charles.
Fireman Woods went into the smoke
filled room and carried him to safety;
then he fell, overcome by smoke.
In the basement the men worked in
more than four feet of water. The
odor of gas was overpowering. and
they had to retreat, all eollapsing tenn
porarily when they reached the street.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.

NEW JERSEY WINS
WATER DIVERSION
SUIT DECISION

WASHINGTON. April Sin an opin-
ion by Justice Holmes, of the supreme
Court of the United States, that court
today held that the State of New Jer-
sey has the right to prohibit the diver
sion of the waters of her streams to
another state.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the Hudson County Water
Company vs.. Robert II. McCarter, at
torney general of New Jersey, in which,
under the law of 1905 the State sought
to restrain the company from supply
ing water from the Passaic River to
Staten Island, n. Y
The company took the position that
the law prohibiting such diversion was
unconstitutional because it interfered
with interstate commerce and also be-
cause it interfered with property rights,
but the New Jersey courts upheld the
law as in line with the States right to
control its own natural resources. Jus
tice Holmes's decision sustained the
State view and his decision was against
the water company.

SAW THROUGH
PRISON BARS IN
TRY FOR LIBERTY
Hudson County Jail Delivery
Prevented in Nick of
Time.

JERSEY CITY, April 6.--An attempt
at delivery from the Hudson County
Jail was frustrated today in the nick
of time, and the two youths involved,
Bernard Quinn, II, and Fred Hilger, is.
placed in close confinement.
Early today word was communi-
Gated to the jail Office that the noise
of a saw had been heard through the
night Warden Connolly went to the
third floor ward and found saws in the
possession of Quinn and Hilger and
three bars of a window sawed through
in several places. Pieces of the bar
had been broken out and soap had been
smeared to cover up the breaks until
the time came for escape.
The drop to the ground would have
been long one, but with the aid of
the blankets and clothing it could have
been made without serious injury.

, Acting on what appears to have been
a preconcerted plan, the disorders of
last night broke out in different parts
of the city. Men and youths, and III
many instances. yelling women. began
a demonstration in which the cries OF
Long life TO the republic Joined IN
chorus with Down with the King" in
diapason of sound.
Crowds Attack soldiers
Cavalry and infantry were attacked
as they patroled the streets. The
gendarmerie joined with the soldiery
IN attacking the Inobs. revolutionary
in their bearing and thirsting for the
blood of monarchists.
The rioting grew so formidable that
orders were issued to the troops to
open fire Volley after volley were
poured into the packed masses in Pedro
square and in front of the Church of
St Dominique. The rioters resisted
the advance of the troops and replied
to the whitening rife fire with clubs.
stones, pitchforks and musketry.
Thus far it has been impossible to
obtain an official statement of the num-
ber killed and injured. Pending au-
thority from government sources, no
unofficial or press statement is permit
ted to be telegraphed concerning the
extent of these casualties.
Newspaper ORces sacked.
Immediately after the bloody street
affrays the rioters nnobbed the offices
of three newspapers, the official or
gans of the Nationalists, the Francists
and the Regenerators. The buildings
were sacked and great damage done.
The mObs then Ned before the troops.
As they ran before the sOldiery the cav
airy pursued, cutting and sfashing with
drawn sabres. From one cnd of ths
city to the other the streets rang with
the tramp of thousands of rioters and
the cIang OF cavalry boots.
Every time group attempted to
make a demonstration on a street cor
ner the troops would charge and dis
perse the agitators and their followers.
Wholesale Arrests Made.
A government note issued today
says:
"The government gave specific orders
to insure liberty of voting and took
every precaution to prevent disorder.
The elections passed off regularly i'll al
most all districts of Lisbon, but at St
Dominique and Santos the Republicans

At late hour last night most of the
Republican voters had gone to their
homes but bands of youths continued
to make demonstrations before the
churches. They confined their disor-
ders,; however, to shouting, and a re-
currence of the disturbances during the
remainder OF the night seems unlikely.
Up to midnight counting had not be-
gun in many of the districts. Strong
police guards were assigned to watch
the balloting urns throughout the night.
No trouble is reported from Oporto.
The ballot boxes, according to Gus
tom, were installed in the churches,
and the voting. due to the agitation
