REACHES LIMIT OF
HER FORMER TRANCE
WOMAN SLEEPS FORTY DAYS Al
ONE TIME
It Is Feared That She May Die II She
Does Not Recover Consciousness
Within the Next Twenty
four Hours

Today is the fortieth day on which
Mrs. Beulah Hawkins, the woman who
has been in a trance at the county hos
pital, has been asleep.
Public interest has been aroused over
her case and the fact that the time
tefore she slept forty days, makes
NJ any believe that she will awaken at
the same period.
In that case, Mrs. Hawkins would
awaken from the peculiar trance IN
which she has been.
1t has been suggested that If she
slept over the forty days limit, reached
before in a similar condition, she
would die.
The theory has also been promul-
gated that she might become insane IL
not treated most carefully upon her
awakening.
Hence, whether or not she RECEIVERS
consciousness today, she will be
watched with unusual interest by botn
the public and the superintendent OF
the hospital, Dr. David Barber, and his
assistants.
Many visitors thronged to the door
of Mrs. Hawkins room at the county
hospital yesterday, but none have been
admitted to the room save her daughter,
as the number of visitors became so
great that 1t was considered unwise to
admit them all.
EyeIids culver Constantly
The eyelids, though closed, constantly
culver as though about to open. The
breathing is so quiet that 1t is almost
unnatural, but when put to bed Mrs.
Hawkins will change her position as
naturally as any person who tires OF
the same sleeping on the same side.
Her nurse does not think that the pa
tlent is entirely unconscious of all that
Is going on around her, and believes
that Mrs. Hawkins can understand
some Of the words uttered, spoken By
those near her.
The interest in this peculiar case has
spread all over the country, sugges-
tons for awaking her having been re-
ceived by DIR. Barber from many spe-
ciaiists and physicians in other cities.
All efforts to rouse her have failed.
Only once, when In pain. has she
spoken, and then bus the quickly ar
ticulated word "don't-don't."
This, the fortieth day, the time when
she awoke from a similar deep sleep
several years ago, is believed 10 be the
crisis in the present case.

SEWER WORK GOOD But

Council Refuses TO Pay Until Work
Is Finally Done and
Accepted.

The sewer has been tested and
found to work satisfactorily, but the
contractors will not receive their
money until they have completed the

unable to do until the high water
recedes
Superintendent Darlington signi-
fed his willingness to accept the
amount due less $3.50, which the
city might retain until the company
is able to complete the work, but the
city refuses to consider this, pending
the further consideration of the
Carey damage case. which was re-
Gently decided adversely to them.
The contract and bond specifies
that the company shall be liable for
all damages arising through neglect
to properly protect their excavations,
but when the defense of the damage
suit was rendered them they de-
clined to have anything to do with it..
In the meantime Mr.. Darlington
will remain in North Yakima and his
company will be put to the expense
of maintaining his office here.

DIVORCES WRONG.
Archbishop Ireland Writes on Indis.
solubility Of Bond.

ST. PAUL. April Archbishop
John Ireland of St. Paul has written
letter to the clergy and laity of
this archdiocese on the subject of
marriage and divorce. in which he
characterizes the marriage contract
of the times a mere commercial ex-
change.
The letter says:
christian marriage is a sacrament
An act permeated with divine ac-
tivity. To the Christian the marri-
age contract can never be a mere
natural engagement between man
and woman, ruled by laws adopted
by their own freedom. Nor is 1t a
mere social or civil contract, made
binding only through civil enact
ments, lasting only so long as those
enactments order II to last
in the teaching of Christ the
marriage contract Is indissoluble
Human laws can not dissolve It,
The church. in its spiritual suprem-
acy, can not dissolve it,

cans of Benton county to the number
of $50 assembled here and organized
the Benton County Jones club and,

and more than one socialist of the

Wesley L. Jones as candidate for the
United States senate. The member
ship roll, which was signed by all
present, stood in the place Of reso-
lutions and declared that Mr.. Jones,
by reason of his high personal char
acter and his rare and tested ability
as statesman, as fully demonstrat-
ed throughout his nine years OF dis
tinguished and faithful service to the
state OF Washington and the nation
at large. in the lower house of con
gress, is our choice for United States
senator"
The roll further declared that
those affixing their names thereto
hereby pledge ourselves as indiyid-
uals and as an organization to use
our influence in all proper and legit-
innate ways to secure the nomination
OF the said Wesley l.. Jones for the
Office of United States senator at the
direct primary election to be held In
September"
Great enthusiasm prevailed at the
meeting. which early in the evening
progressed beyond the initial idea
and declared itself as endorsing the
candidacy of W. H. Taft for the nom

MAY SUE The CITY
THOMAS TRACT On RIVER
STILL CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Owner Declares He Will Start Legal
Action II Property Is Not
Purchased Soon.

Whether the city wishes to defend
a suit for damages. which is apt to
be instituted by Capt. Thomas. or
whether ii wishes to purchase a site
for the erection of sceptic tanks and
crematory will have to be settled
between now and April 20. Capt
1homas has already instructed his
attorneys to commence action, but
they have delayed. at the solicitation
of members of the council.
Thomas wants the city to perform
its part of the contract entered into
about 30 years ago. whereby it IS
alleged the city agreed, in consider
alton of the captain and Mrs. Thomas
deciding the city 90 acres of land for
park purposes. to spend at least $500
per year for five years, or he wants
them to pay him $3.50 for the prop
erty. If they fail to 10 one of these
two things they face the alternative
of damage suit.
For two years the city lived up to
their part of the contract and spent
approximately $1,000 in improving
the property, by allowing the sever
age to be dumped there and then by
constructing trunk line through
the land.
Since then they have failed to pay
he taxes. and Capt Thomas has
done likewise. but Michigan
banking firm has kept them up and
now holds the tax receipts.
Thomas is willing to take care of
that part If the city will dig up the
$3.50.
Councilman Meigs is in favor Of
purchasing the land, as 1t is an ideal
spot on which to guild the tanks
that will be needed shortly, and he
believes crematory will soon be a
necessity as we'll to destroy the
garbage that is accommodating.
The legal department has been in
structed to further investigate and
examine all papers in connection
with the transfer and contract. 1t is
the general opinion that Capt.
Thomas has COON grounds for legal
action and at the same time the
Michigan bank threatens to bring
action unless the problem is

The cessation or the contract. the

Divorce breaks mp the home

To-day. as never before, war is
made upon Christian marriage. The
CONTRACT of marriage is stripped OF
all religious ceremonial, of all sacred
meaning
1T becomes mere barter Of
hearts and fortunes, hastily entered

hastily burst asunder and forgotten
Divorce is almost the fashion
Nations vie with one another in
yielding up their statute books to its

"The moment is solemn for the
Catholic church She is on exhibit
ton, before the world. as the one
Christian church, since she alone
holds steadfastly to the teachings of
Christ on marriage.
she is on exhibition as the one
guardian of the family and of the
social fabric itself"
Referring to the recent encycical
of the pope Archbishop Ireland says:
"The aim Of the legislation. en-
acted in the encyclical, is to throw
strong safeguards around marriage,
removing from espousals and from
the contract OF marriage the fatal
peril of haste and thoughtlessness.
THE remedy to this haste and
tnoughtlessness is the presence of
the priest at every marriage, and the
opportunity allowed him to ascer-
tain beforehand whether there are
preexisting impediments to the mar
riage and to give to the parties to be
married such counsel as will fit them
for the reception of the sacrament
and secure to them the plenitude Of
its spiritual graces."

WATER IN CANAL.
Lower Valley Gives Every Indication
of Another Year of Wonderful
Productivencss.

SUNNYSIDE. Wash, April -
Water is running freely now through
the Sunnyside canal, and within a
week it is thought there will be suffi-
cient for irrigation purposes. The
flow was started week ago and has
been gradually working its way
through the canal and the laterals
until the critical time is at hand.
But few ranchers have let the water
out on the land as yet, but this will
be changed in a weeks time
The main ditch and the canals ap-
pear to be in good condition after
lying dry for the winter. The prin-
last 10 days has been cleaning out
their bitches and getting ready for
the flow The water is now racing
through the main arteries in good
shape and will be let out on the land
in a short time.
This has been an unusually early
spring in the Sunnyside valley, and
people have been anxious to get the
water running. However, the rec
lamation service now has charge of
the ditch and no amount of talk
could convince the officials the wa
ter should be turned on earlier
Last year the water would not have
been needed until June /, but this
year it could have been used by
March Is, say the ranchers. Officers
of the reclamation service are
blamed to some extent for their
technical rules in keeping the water
back until the present time. 1t IS
argued that the sooner the water is
turned on the land the better crops
will be produced
Again. it is the belief of many
fruit raisers that with running water
under the trees there is less danger
of damage by frost. This question is
one that will create some friction
between the reclamation service and
the ranchers until the matter is set
tied. The people believe their in
terests are jeopardized by red tape
on the part of the service. Along
general lines the ranchers are much
pleased to have the reclamation
service in charge OF the water in the
Sunnyside ditch, as well as the en-
tire system in the Yakima valley.
Quite lot of repair work has
been done on the ditch this spring.
and the system is ready for heavy
seasons run. The new spillway above
Zillah is in operation, and it is said
to be giving good service.
With all of its many thousand
acres of land under irrigation. the
Sunnyside valley Offers great chance
for development that will have to be
done by private pumping plants.
These lands thus affected lie above
the level of the great ditch With
prices of land under the ditch mount
ing higher every season. private cap
ital has turned its attention to re-
