Seattle Paper Calls for Execution Of
Lynch Law.

SEATTLE. Wash. June I0.--In a
front page. two-column leader last
night discussing the release OF ches-
ter Thompson. the murderer of Judge
George Meade Emory. from the state
asylum at steiiacoom, the Seattle
Times criticizes the jury that found
him not guilty by reason OF insanity
and the experts who at the recent
hearing declared him sane. The ed
itorial concludes as follows:
What travesty on alleged justice
in a case involving the highest crime
known to man?
Thompson is free, hut where is
Judge Emory?
Thompson has been given his lib
erty, but Judge Emory's liberty was
not only taken from him forever, but
his life was extinguished at the same
time.
Thompson Is free. and is coming
back TO Seattle In order that he may
behold the widow and the orphans
which we're made when Judge Emory
was killed, and probably gloat over
their misfortunes.
We do not know whether Judge
Emory has any real, live. burning
friends in Seattle or not. but II he has,
and that murderer. Thompson, shows
his head in Seattle and lives "a hours
the friends OF Emory VIII be denounc-
ed as towards"
The editorial has caused a sensa-
ton here.

Slated.
BOISE, Idaho, June lot is per-
sistently rumored here that there will
soon be a vacancy in the Office of
United States marshal. 1t seems GER
tain that Sheriff Shad Hodgin OF Ada
county will get the appointment.
This has brought forward a number
of candidates for appointment by the
county commissioners to the Office of
sheriff. Among these are Elias Mars
tiers. VIII Lane and Deputy Driseoll
Marsters seems to have the most Wig
orous backing. but Commissioner
Clark is resolutely opposed to his APP
pointment. 1t is not known just
how the other two members OF the
board stand in regard to MarsteTs.
but II Is intimated that at least one
of them. while not personally oppos-
ed to him. Is not willing to join in
naming a man Objectionable TO Clark.
1t is understood that William Byron,
deputy United States marshal, de-
sires to be a deputy sheriff under the
new administration OF the sheriff
Office. Friends OF Sheriff Hodgin
state positively that he has not made
any promise with respect to the pos
ition of deputy marshal, but there
is much talk to the effect that Ras-
tus Beamer will secure the position
under Hodgin.

4 Storm as Pictured by the Weather
N Bureau and by a Poet.
In commenting on the fact that a
person may be thoroughly equipped on
the scientific side Of music without
being sensitive to its beauty as an art
|, Gustav Kobbe in his book "How to
Appreciate Music" quotes the witty
distinction which Edmund Clarence
Stedman draws In his Mature and
Elements Of Poetry" between the indi-
Ecations of storm as described by q
poet and by the official prognostica-
lions of the weather bureau.
Mr. Stedman gives two stanzas:
When descends on the Atlantic the gi-
gantic
Storm wind of the equinox.
Landward in his wrath he scourges the
toiling surges,
Laden with seaweed from the rocks.
And this stanza by later balladist:
The east wind gathered. all unknown
thick sea cloud his course before.
He left by night the frozen zone
And smote the cliffs of Labrador.
He dashed the coasts on either hand. :
And betwixt the Cape and Newfoundland.
Into the bays his armies pour.
All this impersonation and fancy are
translated by the weather bureau into
something like this:
An area Of extreme low pressure is
rapidly moving up the Atlantic coast,
with wind and rain. Storm center now
off Charleston, S. G. Wind N. E.;
velocity, 81; barometer, 29.6 The dis
turbance will reach New York OF,
