tons OF snow with banner on top

Inside of the convention hall there
was a great flock Of eagles. dead

roof of the Auditorium, and in the
beaks OF those eagleA there were
strips OF bunting and 'tlny flags.
There were hundreds of these eagles,
and they were Of all sizes

The whole scene was one of pecu-

they had put their best foot forward

palms, great trees and thousands OF
plants, a myriad of roses OF all colors,
and high above the audience was a

operators state that competent men
whoa have applied for positions have
been refused employment by the COM
pany.
E. A. Crooks, chief dispatcher of
the Pasco division, embracing the
territory between Spokane and Pas
co, is being praised by the operators
on account of the fact he has so ar
ranged the hours of the men that a
man can now work a straight shift.
while the chief dispatcher on the
Idaho division, embracing the terri
tory cast of Spokane, is being blam-
ed or account of the way the work
ing time of the men is arranged.
All of the officers on the Pasco d.
vision ale closed for straight six
hours. aid the rest of the day is
equally divided between the two op-
orators at each station, while on the
Idaho division the day is split so that

during shift and it is held he is
practically on duty for II hours, the
same as fol merly.
The Northern Pacific. it is stated
has assured the men that as soon as
matters can be arranged the working
time Of the men will be arranged as
we'll AS possible, and on this account
no trouble is expected. The company
has issued orders to the telegraph
ers that no operator shall violate
the nine-hour law, and the men are
expected in every case to work only
the number of hours allowed by law.
None of the offices on the Great
Northern have closed since the new
law has become effective, but it is
stated that a number of offices were
closed before the new law became eff
fective. Since the law went into effect
the Great Northern has employed
about Is additional men on the ter
ritory between Cut Bank, Mont, and

of officials today.

SCHMITz WINS his
APPEAL TO TIE
SUPREME COURT
DECISION PRACTICALLY
NULIlFItS PLEA OF
GUILTY BY RUFF
Seven Justices All Declare That In
dictment Against Schmitz
Was Defective.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March 9.
The supreme court, by unanimous
vote. handed down a decision deny
ing the application of the prosecu-
ton in the San Francisco bribery
graft cases for rehearing of the
decision of the distric; court appeals
in the case of Former Mayor Eugene
E. Schmitz, convicted of extortion in
the French restaurant cases.
Without dissenting vote among
the seven justices the court sus-
tanned the appellate court in its de-
cision that the indictment upon
which Schmitz was convicted was de-
fective in that it did not aver that
Schmitz was mayor; that Ruef, his
co-defendant, was a political boss
practically in control of the city;
that as such they were in position
to exercise power and undue influ-
ence over the police commissioners
and that it did nos show that Sch
mitz resorted to unlawful means in
threatening to have liquor licenses
withheld
"The decision demonstrates, said
Schmitz. that the highest court in
the state believes what l have al
ways claimed, that I am removed
from office and railroaded to pris-
on"
The decision practically nullified
Ruef's plea of guilty to the same
charge. invalidates the remaining
four extortion indictments against
Schmitz and Ruef and will enable
Schmitz to gain his liberty on bail
after eight months confinement in
the county. One paragraph of the
| decision says:
| 1T is an elementary principle OF
criminal law that an Indictment
must show that a crime has beer
committed. In no case can an in
dictment be, aided by Imagination
and presumption. The prescriptions
all are in favor of innocence, and II
the facts stated may or may not con.
stitute crime the presumption is
that no crime is charged"

tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
