SPENT FREELY IN PROSPERITY,
Spectator Scorned to Make Provision
for Lean Years.

The late Townsend Percy, specu-

more than one fortune in the course
OF his life, used to be fond of repeating
some of his mothers witticisms at his
expense, generally brought about by
MS eXtravagances during his periods
or prosperity. Once Percy had driven
four-in-hand for a year, when an I'M
fortunate deal" made it necessary for
him to reduce expenditures and sell
his horses, on which occasion she said
to him:
ToWnsend, don't you think that it
would be better to drive one horse
four years, instead of four horses one
year?"
Another time, when on the verge Of
financial crash, Percy still owned a
considerable stable, and gave no out.

The shooting caused big SEN

The bride walked into the office
and fired point blank while her
husband was working. She then
emptied the chambers Of her pistol
in the PROSTATE form of her hus-
band and calmly allowed herself to
be arrested.
Joe Stansbury, John Gisna and

where four or more candidates ap'
pear on the ticket. The second
choice feature is a new one and
there is no court literature on the
subject Attorneys generally say II
is unconstitutional.
1t is apparent that hardly any OF
the official returns are correct.
The law requires that no vote can
be counted unless the elector has
voted for both first and second
choice and the total first and Sec
ond choice votes should agree. In
Spokane there was difference of
400 between first and second choice
votes for governor and the dis
cdepancy for attorney general is
more than LOO.
Points which will be urged
against the new law are that po-
litical power is inherent in the
people; that laws regulating the
exercise of this power must be
equal and uniform, affecting all
electors alike; that no law can be
passed granting to one class of
electors privileges that are not
granted to all; that the primary
law does this, as 1t excludes all
electors except of the dominent
parties; gives minority parties
nnwar to pcmipo tp purtiSop iu1opS
and prevent the republican and
democratic parties from exercising
the same powers.
1t will be urged by counsel for
the litigahts that only the names
of persons for judges can be
placed on the November ballots
who have been nominated by petit
ton or by political convention.

RATE LAW in
HIGHEST COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-The
question of whether the interstate
commission has power to fix rail
road rates and pass on the reason
ableness of those rates will be
sent to the supreme court of the
United States for decision.
Judges Morrow, Ross and Gilbert,
of the circuit court, announced to-
day that they were unable to
agree on several points in the
Southern Pacific's amended bill in
the Oregon lumber rate case. The
law requires that the judges be
unanimous; If not. the case goes
to the supreme court.
Attorneys for the commission
and railroad this afternoon filed in
the circuit court the last questions
they want the supreme court to
decide.
The effect of the disagreement
of the circuit court Is to have the
case advanced on the calendar of
the supreme court. 1t is expected
a decision viii be announced from
Washington in 80 days. Attorney
Peter Dunno for the railroad made
application to have enforcement of
the new lumber rate established by
the commission enjoined until a
decision of the supreme court is
handed down.
This was denied by the circuit
court, which held that the dis
agreement takes the matter from
them and that the railroad must
apply to the supreme court for an
Injunction. which will be done at
once. If it is not granted the new
rate will go into effect October is.

IS
D|SbARREO
Three Charges Against
Attorney Upheld
By Court.

Attorney James Hopkins was
disbarred this morning from prac-
tice in the courts of law by de-
cision from the superior court
bench, read by Judge Huneke.
The decision is lengthy, occupy
ing some 20 pages, and in conclu-
sion 1t reads:
I'VE can reach no other con-
clusion, much as We regret to do
SO, considering the age and long
experience of Mr.. Hopkins. than
that he should be removed as an
attorney at law and should be dis
barred from practicing as such"
Acting upon reports and evidence
of unprofessional conduct on the
part of Mr.. Hopkins, the court APP
pointed committee of the bar to
investigate the charges. The at
torneys appointed were F. T. Post,
r. l.. McWilliams and Cyrus
Happy. When the case came up
for hearing, two of the superior
judges were out of town, leaving
Judges KEENAN, and Huneke before
whom Hopkins. represented by
Spooner & Towmey, was tried. The
charges against Hopkins alleging
unprofessional conduct are three
fold:
First that the defendant know
ingly made false certificates as a
aotary public in claims for pen
4 IONS.
Second. that by false and fraudu-
lent representation he secured a
deed to certain land from its Hitter
ate owner and transferred it to
his client.
Third, that by fraudulent mUip-
ulations in the handling and man
agement of the land, he sought to
obtain the same for himself
In the pension matters, Hopkins
was tried in the federal court, con-
victed and fined $3.50, The ex-
preston of the court in this mat
ter is as follows:
1T seems to us that the first
time Hopkins read and signed a
certificate that his conscience must
have smitten him remorsefully for
he must have been conscious OF
the fact that he was classifying the
government of his own country"
One statute provides that an at
torney may be dsbarred for the
conviction Of misdemeanor in
volving moral turpitude, and it was
argued that he received no COM
pensation, therefore there could be
no moral turpitude. And continu-
Ing the opinion says:
1--WE cannot agree that moral
turpitude exists only when there Is
a consideration received for the do
ing of the act. Money cannot meas
ure morals. No one can seriously
contend that the acts and prac-
tees can be denominated in any
other way than subordination of
the laws of the state"
Hopkins was not present in court
when the decision was read.
Only yesterday he had case at
bar, his client being the defendant
in a divorce action.

The Portland arrived this morning

The growth of business in the
city treasurer's office is shown by
the fact that during the months
of June July, August and Septem-
Der, 1907, the treasurer's Office
wrote 1900 improvement receipts,
while for the same months during
the present year they turned out
$500. The city treasurer's Office
this year will do nearly as large
a business as the county treaurer' s
office, which employs much larger
force of men.

WILL LET CITY
REPAIR BRIDGE
TRACTION COMPANY HAS NO
OBJECTION TO PATCH WORK
PLAN OF SOLVING EAST
OLIVE STREET PROBLEM.

An official of the Spokane Trac-
ton Co. today stated that the COM
pany will make no objection if the
city goes ahead and repairs the
Olive avenue bridge so as to suf-
fee for wagon travel for a few
year In that event they will con-
tinue to use their own bridge at
this point. He said he thought Mr..
Graves would still agree to stand
by his offer, made informally some
time ago, of paying $4,000 toward
the cost of a new bridge on East
Olive avenue.
Councilman Ostrander, who voted
to build a steel bridge at Olive
avenue, is against new bridge at
that point Until an agreement is
secured with the Traction COM
pany. He favors the repair of the
old bridge for temporary use.
The offer of the Washington
Water Power Co. to pay $40, 1000
toward the cost of the new bridge
on North Howard street is found
to be due to no benevolent inten-
tons or desire to tighten the bur-
den of bridge cost to the city. The
w. w. p. had been ordered to re-
pair the north bridge at Howard
street and on investigation found
that the cost of the repair work
would be as great as one half the
cost of a new bridge. About this
time, too, their franchise on How
ard street was about to expire and
the Graves interests were anxious
to get the right to cross the How
ard street bridge. With these
conditions confronting it the w.
w. p. made its offer to share the
bridge cost. which offer is consid-
cred still binding and in all prob
ability is SO regarded by the COM
rt1y.
