ABEL DEFENDS IRWIN.

w. II. Abel was down from Monte
sano Saturday and fixed up sort OF
defense for himself and Judge Irwin
in his two newspaper organs at Ho-
quiam, against the record of the court
in the Stevens case published in the
last issue of the Herald
In the INSPIRED article in the News,
he goes into the case at some length
in an effort to exOnorate Irwin and
himself, but the defense is virtual
plea of guilty. We shall republish
this defense" next Thursday, so as
to give the gentleman all the public
ity possible in their efforts to dis
prove the records of the court.
In the Washingtonian, Abel works
the old lawyer trick of ignoring the
case in point, and seeking to divert
public attention by abuse of the Her.
aid and its editor. But, this will not
do. The editor of this paper is not
running for office of judge, and has
no pretensions to the control of any
body that is. The Washingtonian
article is in the form of commune
cation, and was evidently written by
Abel, as it is in the identical style
and tone of his old time writings
when he was editing an anarchist
paper in Montesano,w when his favorite
topic was the abuse of Judge Irwin,
and every other court house official.

CREDITS ARE EXEMPTED.
State Supreme Court Upholds Gum
Law Except as to Taxation
Of Money.

Olympia, Aug. 1.-Declaring that
credits are not property in an exact
sense, the supreme court, in a de-
cisiOn handed down this afternoon
sustained the constitutionality of the
Gum law eXempting credits of all
kinds, but declared demonstrations
that portion of it exempting money
The decision is practical victory for
the law, as actual money constitutes
but about 0 per cent of the so-called
property exempted by the law and
even bank account has previously
been declared a credit" by the at
tOrney generals office.
The decision rests chiefly on the
economic principle that credits are
not property and therefore do not
have to be taken into consideration
by the Legislature in passing revenue
laws, although the constitution pro-
vides for the taxation alike of all
property" Taxation of credits is de-
clared by the court to be in a meas
ure double taxation and the failure
to tax credits such as notes, accounts.
certificates of deposits, tax certifi-
Gates, judgments, bonds and warrants
does not permit property to escape as
all of these credits are represented
by actual property
Multiplicity of credits does not
add to the property wealth of the
state" declares the opinion in an
exhaustive discussion of the problem.

G. E. GUSTAFSON SUICIDES.
His Body is Found Hanging in Gull
ly Two Miles From the City
Friday.

While Robert Locke was picking
of the city Friday morning, he found
| the body of a man hanging by the
neck from log that lay across a
deep ravine. He Immediately came
! to the city and reported the find to
Coroner Girard, who, with Under
taker j. M. Bowes, went to the scene
and brought the remains to the
morgue
The body was badly decomposed,
| but was identified by an addressed
envelope found in the pockets of the
deceased, as that of G.. f. Gustafson,
: who had been missing from Aberdeen
about seven weeks. 1t was clearly
case of premeditated suicide, as
Gustafson had provided himself with
piece of new half-inch rope, and
lay across, he fastened the rope to
the lower log and jumped off the
upper one. When found the head
was severed from the body, and hung
in the rope while the body laid in
the bottom of the gully. Coroner
Girard did not deem an inquest neces-
sary, and the remains were buried
Saturday morning, from the under
taking parlors of Bowes & Randolph,
Rev. A. H. Hause officiating.
The unfortunate man had recently
sold his farm, at Summit, and moved
to Aberdeen with his wife and two
daughters, Misses Ellen and Sarah,
and son, Alfred. They resided at
Hotel Cecil since coming to Aberdeen,
and at the time Mr.. Gustafson dis
appeared, Mrs. Gustafson was at the
old home at Summit packing the
household goods for shipment to Alb
erdeen. Before taking the fatal step,
GuStafSon left a note for his children
telling them to take good care of
your mother"
The family relations of the Gustaf-
sons were most pleasant, and he had
no reason for the rash act, but he
had been acting queerly for time, and
seemed to believe that somebody was
trying to kill him, and on two oc-
casions he was noticed to act as if
he contemplated suicide.

With commendable enterprise, the
citizens of Hoquiam are making eX-
tensive preparations for a "Merchants
Fair and Agricultural Exhibit" at
the Auditorium in that city from Sept.
II to 26. The exhibit last year was
so successful, that the management
have been encouraged to repeat the
enterprise on a larger scale. If the
fair meets with the support it should
from all parts of the county, the eX-
hibits may serve as a nucleus for the
county exhibit at Seattle next year.

TWO PARTICIPANTS KILLED
Three Policemen Battle With Thirty
Hungarian Laborers.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-TWO aen we're
killed, one policeman was wounded
and several workingmen were injured
In a pitched battle between three po-
licemen and thirty Hungarian railroad
laborers at Gary, Ind,
Guns and revolvers were fired and
knives thrown, but, though they were
outnumbered ten to one, the police
men made seven arrests and stood
their ground until reinforcements ar
rived, when thirteen more men were
captured. Several escaped through
the sand dunes.
The fight occurred at the camp of
the Hungarians, one mile west of
Gary, and the battle was of several
hours duration.
The Hungarians had been working
on the tracks of the South Bend rail-
road. Several of their number de-
stroyed the tent of negro laborer
and when the latter sought redress at
the camp he was fired upon. A rail-
road watchman who sought to aid the
negro also was compelled to fee.
Warrants then were sworn out and
the policemen went to the scene. A
shot greeted their demand for sur.
render and the battle followed.

The next witness was Benjamin

the Madison Square theater, where
Evelyn Nesbit, on Christmas eve,
1903, was appearing in "A Girl From
Dixie" Bonan testified that after
Thaw had called at the theater and
taken the girl away Stanford White
arrived. When he found that Miss
Nesbit had gone away the witness
said White displayed a pistol and
vowed he would kill that Pittsburger"
before morning. Bonan said he com
municated the threat to Thaw.
Mr.. Littleton announced that some
of his most important witnesses, en-
route here by steamer and train, had
failed to arrive and asked for an ad-
journment until morning, when Mrs,
Mrs. William Thaw is expected to
take the stand. The motion for ad.
journment was granted.

HOUSE DEBATE CONTINUES
Bill to Codify Penal Laws Under Con-
sideration.

Washington, Jan. 17.-At the outset
of the debate in the house of repre-
Bentatives on the bill to codify and
revise the penal laws Mr.. Hardwick
of Georgia offered a substitute for the
Williams amendment regarding pay
ments to any person for his endorse
ment or assistance in securing 'ap-
pointments to public office. The sub
stitute, while differing in phras eology
with the Williams amendment, ar
riveS at the same end, except that it
disqualifies from any Office of trust or
profit under the government all per-
sons receiving such pay. Mr.. Hard
wick said that for five years efforts
had been made to enact such legisla-
tion and that a few years ago a tre-
mendous scandal had occurred in his
own district in Georgia in connection
with some postofice appointments.
He challenged any onee to oppose his
substitute on its merits.
The challenge was at once accepted
by Mr.. Gardner (Mass) who main
tanned that any one who came to
Washington with his expenses paid to
interest himself in behalf of some ap-
pointment would violate the law. He
said he was tired of humbug legisla-
ton and inquired: "Do you think we
can square ourselves with our con-
stituents by legislation like that; by
pretending to virtue when there is
not man within the sound of my
voice that can not evade these stat
utes if he has a mind to? You may
be able" he added, ito catch unfor
tunate members of the house or a
member of the senate some time who
has not covered his tracks properly"
Both the Williams and the Hard
wick amendments were voted down.

NOT DEFINITELY AMENDED
AIdrich Financial Bill Continues un
der Consideration.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee ON finance further consid'
cred the Aldrich bill. Various amend
ments were offered and discussed. II
is understood that no section of the
bill has as yet been definitely amend
ed. The clause relating to the filing
of railway bonds as security for addi
tional currency is receiving consider
able attention, but it is thought by
several members of the committee
that it will eventually be left intact
on the ground that there will not be
sufficient available securities for
emergency needs if railroad bonds are
not included.
The Democrats of the committee,
as a rule, seem to be largely in accord
with most of Senator Aldrich's ideas
and the amendments they will en-
deavor to have adopted will be gen.
orally of a minor nature.
Senator Hansbrough has expressed
his intention of changing his central
bank bill in a few particulars and
Offering it in the senate as a substi-
tute for the Aldrich bill when that
measure is considered.

SOME ARE EXCEPTED
Court Decides Hartman Must
Answer Certain Questions
BUYING ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Head of Pacific Roads Ordered TO
Give the information Desired by the
interstate Commerce Commission
Concerning That Famous Deal.

New York, Jan. 17.--E II. Harri
man was directed, in decision given
by Judge Hough in the United States
circuit court, to answer all questions
propounded to him by the interstate
commerce commission except those
relating to the purchase of Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific railroad
stock in connection with the dividend
of August, 1906.
Judge Hough also directed Otto Fl.
Kuhn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to answer
all questions asked him by the inter.
state commerce commission.
The questions to which Mr.. Harri
man objected related to the purchase
of the stock of other railroads in the
interest of the Union Pacific and tC
the Union Pacific dividend. In regard
to the S2S,000,000 of Illinois Central
purchased at $175 a share, the ques
tions which Mr.. Hartman declined to
answer are as follows:
Were the 10000 shares sold by
yourself, Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Still
man pooled?
Was it acquired for the purpose oi
selling it to the Union Pacific?
Was the stock purchased by you at
a much lower price than $175 with the
intention of turning it over to the
Union Pacific?
Did you have any interest in the
j05,00Q shares sold at the time by
Kuhn, Loeb e Co. to the Union Pa.
cifc?
Was the 10000 shares acquired by
the same pool for the purpose OF
selling them to the Union Pacific?
The questions which Mr.. Kuhn re-
fused to answer had to do with the
connection of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. with
the purchase of stock in the Chicago
and Alton and the Illinois Central and
what proportion of the stocks so pur.
chased was held for the directors OF
the Union Pacific.

WHILE CRAZED BY DRINK
Chicago Labor Leader Kills One OF
His Best Friends.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Henry Rittman,
thirty years old, former official in
the Chicago Federation of Labor, shot
and killed Otto Schultz, thirty-fou1
years old, fellow craftsman and one
of his best friends, while the latter
was playing cards in the headquarters
of the Painters and Decorators union.
Rittman, mumbling incoherently to
himself and staggering from the eff.
fects of drink, entered the rooms,
leaving the door open. Schultz, who
sat at a table only short distance
away, politely requested that Rittman
close the door. This simple request
so angered Rittman that, without
warning, he drew a revolver and be-
fore those in the room realized his
purpose placed the muzzle close to
Schultz head and pulled the trigger.

SAVE THREATENED VILLAGE
Inhabitants Throw Thousands Of
Snowbalis on Fire.

Johnstown, Pa, Jan. 17.-Probably
the most remarkable manner of ex-
tinguishing fire occurred at Boswell, a
mining town near here, when hun
dreds of men, women, boys and girls
saved the town from destruction by
throwing snowballs. The town has no
fire department and wator is scarce.
The flames had gained much headway
and a building in which was stored
sufficient powder to blow up the vii
lage was threatened. AS a last re-
source practically the entire popula-
tion began throwing thousands of
snowballs made from soft, wet snow
and, after a time, prevented the ex-
plosion and confined the flames to a
half dozen buildings.
