that he has no information as to

to a threat of an appeal to the courts

Roosevelt and William r. Hearst was
made last evening by Governor Has

The resignation was handed in at

clared he did not want to be respOn-

wait for Bryan, who was on his way
here to demand an explanation of the
charges made by Roosevelt and

nation was due to those charges, al
though insisting that they were un-
true.

Pasco, Wash, Sept 26-Franklin
county is trying something new in
road building and the county authori-
ties claim for 1t complete success. It
is roadway made of sagebrush, and
is smooth, noiseless and comparative
ly free from dust. The road on
which the experiment is being tried
runs from Pasco to Richland up the
east bank of the Columbia. crossing
being effected by ferry a couple of
miles below Richand. The road was
sandy and the builders have simply
ripped up sagebrush and strewn the
roadbed with it. This is rapidly
ground into fiber by the wagons. and
forms a soft mat holding down the
dust and preventing the wheels from
sinking into the sand. As there is no
rain, there is no trouble from mud.
and the plan seems an exceptionally
good one for any road In the semi
arid country.
This plan is new in this country
but was proven a success at Hermis-
ton, Oregon, where used by the gov

Rufus Fletcher, the colored bloot-
black, is the first and only person
to be indicted thus far by the grand
Jury as the result of the investiga-
tiCns of the alleged violations of the
prohibition law. Fletcher came to
grief because he refused to tell where
he had received liquor but his in
dictment charges him with perjury.
Notwithstanding the fact that two
witnesses declared they had been fur
nlshed with the intoxicating bever-
age by Fletcher, the boOtblack swore
he had not had liquor on the occasion
I'm question and did not give II to the
two persons or any others. His in
dictment for perjury followed.
Though the grand jury has appar-
emily completed its Investigations no
further indictments will be returned
this afternoon. While that body is
making an examination of the con-
ditions which prevail at the poor farm
this afternoon 1t is understood that
the investigation Of the liquor cases
will be continued Monday. 1t is
therefore probable that the final re-
port will be made that day and 1t is
believed that indictments against a
number Of men formerly engaged in
the liquor business will be returned. I
When the indictment was brought
in against Fletcher last evening, on, /
was also brought in against Dan Nc
Kenzie, who is charged with assault
with attempt to commit rape. 1t will
be remembered that Mckenzie is the
man who while employed as a sheep
herder on the ranch of Morg Ed
wards near Pilot Rock, is alleged to
have taken advantage Of the absence
Of his employer in the mountains to
attempt to assault Mrs. Edwards. The
latter armed herself with a butcher
knife, drove the man from the house
and summoned assistance from neigh
bors by means Of the telephone. Nc
Kenzie was arrested the next day and
has been out under bonds.
The case Of Mrs. Nose Taylor
against her former husband was con-
tnued today and is still occupying
the attention of the court. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the case will go
to the jury some time this evening. 1

for Guy Hayes, jointly indicted with 5

San Francisco, Sept. 26-Captain
Birmingham, federal steam boat in
spector today practically decided to
investigate the Star Of Bengal wreck.
The investigation will be held at Jun
eau on account of the fact that the
witnesses will scatter when they
leave Alaska.
The report received here from Cap
tain Wagner is not official, and the
officers Of the Alaskan packers be-
lieve that the written charge of Wag-
ner is not as strong as the verbal ac-
count on account of his having been
in a very excited state at the time of
the interview. If the written report
persists in charges the captains Of the
Hattie Gage and Kayak will be tried
for cowardice.

great Improvement in the general ap-
