Who Turned States Evidence

Although he turned states evidence
and gave testimony against his COM
panion, Paul Kruger is occupying a cell
in the county Jail with j. A. Mcintyre,
who, because of the testimony of Kru-
ger, was, at the last term of the su-
perior court sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for orse-stealing. Kruger who
was a member of the supposed gang,
soon after his arrest, turned states
evidence and gave evidence at the for
mer trial which was instrumental in
bringing about the conviction of Nc
Intyre, John Tyacke, jr.. and Richard
Tyacke. They We're sentenced to the

to the supreme court, and the two

Fire Causes $4,000
Damage tO.CIduSSen

Starting presumably from the fur
mace, in which a fire had just been
kindled, fire this morning in the base
ment of the Claussen Furniture store
caused between $4,000 and $4,000 dam
ages, perhaps more, as the exact
amount cannot be estimated at pres
ent.
All the draperies on the first floor are
badly injured by smoke and the goods
stored in the basement are almost a
total loss. The fire was checked before
the flames did any damage to the main
floor, but the loss through smoke will
be heavy.
The fire was first noticed by the
janitor George MaXfieId, who came
back about Is minutes after he kindled
the furnace fire, to replenish it, He
saw the smoke in the basement and
turned in the alarm. The departments
answered promptly, but owing to the
fact that the flames had found their
way to the coal bin. the smoke was
so dense that it was ilmost impossible
to do any effective work. The alarm
was turned in about 6 o'clock and it
was nearly s o'clock before the fire
boys had the best of the argument.
The flames did great damage in the
basement and had just appeared in on
the first floor in a place or two when
they were subdued, Considering the
difficulties, under which they worked.
the boys under Chief Metz direction
did effective fire fighting and it will
be a day or two before they lose the
taste of smoke they got this morning
When the alarm was sounded and
the smoke began to pour out of the
basement and had just appeared on
idents of the Valley House. adjoining,
became alarmed and scantily attired
came down ladders from the back win
dows. After shivering in the cold with
little more than pleasant smiles, they
became assured and went back to re-
sumo their interrupted slumbers.

You believe in the movement for
the greater Whitman, do you not?"
"Assuredly so. Or I would not be
here. The new Whitman will be a great
benefit to the country, greater than

DR.. PearsOns is a kindly old gentle
man. While he shows his age to a GER
tain degree, one would scarcely think
for his appearance that he is within
10 years of the century mark. His hair
is gray and his side whiskers are very
gray. But there is still a light of
strong life in his eyes and his step is
firm. His voice is a trifle high in
pitch, but withal very gentle. He is
a typical gentleman of the old school
He shows a great interest in the ed
ucational congress as is proved by his
it. Concerning himself and his gifts
to colleges, he is willing to talk but lit
tie and is extremely reticent When the
matter of the school and its improve
ment is mentioned. he shows more in

leges throughout the United States
Whitman was one of the first and is
one of the largest beneficiaries of his
donations With the exception of Be
lott college, he has given more to Whit
man than to any other school Owing
to these facts, his statement that he
will make the most important speech
of his life next Wednesday night is
viewed with much interest by those
who know him and who are interested

Legislature Nay Create
County Recorders Office

Considerable interest has been
aroused throughout the state by the
announcement that a bill is to be in
troduced at the coming session of the
legislature, providing for the creation
of new county office, to be known as
the recorder" and almost without ex-
ceptiOn those who have taken trouble
to investigate the proposed measure
are In favor of its passage, especially
the county auditors who are at the
present time iaboring under duties far
too great and of q complicated nature
Several reasons have been advanced
by the auditors for asking for the pas
sage of the law, one OF them being that
, the new school code, which is likely tC
be adopted next year, provides that
/ the county auditors shall become ac-
countants for the school districts in
their respective counties and that
such course will add much to the
work now being done in that office. 1t
is also argued that the work OF re-
cording does not properly belong to
the auditors office except in the small
Ter counties where the other duties OF
the auditor are not so heavy.
In case the proposed law goes to
final passage it will provide for the
separation of the office of county audi
tor only in counties of the first to the
thirteenth class, and will not affect the
smaller counties.
The bill, copies of which have been
sent to auditors of the counties in the
state which will be affected, was the
result of the last meeting of the audi
tors of the state, the association dis
cussing in detail the proposed separa-
tlon and being heartily in favor of the
passage of the bill into law.
Following are extracts from a paper
read at the convention by Auditor H
nj. Green, of Spokane county, in which
he showed the various reasons why
the separation of the auditors office
and the creation of the recorders Of
flee should be created:
1T is somewhat surprising that in
the arranging for the safeguarding of
the accounting of the great govern
ment of the state of Washington the
early lawmakers of the commonwealth
so far departed from all the precedents
established by other states and by bus
mess and commercial houses as well,
combined the auditing department with
that Of another, which, by it's very ma
ture, would crowd out and overwhelm
1t to greater or lesser extent There
can be but one solution of the ques-
ton of their motives, and that, that
1t was for the sake of economy. The
country was new and people met in
frequently and traded little. The larg-
er number Of people came in touch with
the government and but comparative
ly small sums of money changed
hands- Hence the lessened need of a
thorough system of accounting.
"As the country grew older, the sit
uatlon changed materially and the need
of thorough system of auditing and
accounting, for the careful scrutiniZing
of bills and the checking of the various
accounts both of disbursements and
receipts, becomes daily more evident.
AS the functions of any institution
broaden and becomes more complex,
the more careful must be the watch
for leaks and wastes. There is just

There is no real logic in combining
the office of auditor with any other. In
fact, there are more cogent reasons for
keeping it as separate and distinct
office than could be urged against the
similar combining of any other offices.
In the first case, the auditor should not,
in my Judgment receive one cent of
h CJIn
fees, he at once is placed in the posi-
tion Of needing an auditor himself and
thereby creating a temporary auditor
in the person of some other officer. TO
that end it would be necessary to elm
mate from the office the issuance OF
licenses of all kinds and place that
function elsewhere.
THE office of recorder should be
moved from that of auditor and made
separate office or else combined with
that of the assessor, to which 1t IS
more logically related, in order that
the auditor may be free to devote his
entire time to the duties of auditing
the compiling of statistics as to re-
sources and liabilities of his county
and be relieved from the responsibility
of receiving moneys and accounting
therefor. On the other hand, there
cannot be one valid reason urged IN
favor of maintaining the present ar
rangemant. Economy cannot be pressed
for the reason that it costs just as
much to do this auditing now under
our present system as it would under
the new. It takes the time and atten-
ton of men now; it would do no more
then. The only difference that II
would make would be to result IN the
work being done more fully and COM
pletely than at present, hence would
entail just that much additional ex-
pense."
