No CASH FOR PRINTING
Printing of Laws and House Proceed
ings Uses up Appropriation

OLYMPIA, Wash, The senate
journal of the last legislative ses-l
sion will probably not be printed. ,
State Printer Boardman said tonight
the printing of the session laws and
house journal will probably exhaust
the $4,000 appropriation and when
the money is spent the work will stop.
Originally but $4,000 appropriation
was carried in the bill, but this was
finally increased $4,000. The UNI
usually large session laws with 1900
pages, the biggest in the history of
the state, has used up about $500
of the appropriation. The session
laws will be out this week; the de-
lay, Boardman says, has been be-
cause lie had to wait about two weeks
for copy and proofs on the index.
Copy for the house journal was the
first in and the printers are at work
on it. This journal when completed
is expected to use up the remaining
$4,000.
Copy has reached the printer for
the new state booster book. Forty
hye thousand copies of this 200-page
book will be printed for free distri-
button at the exposition. 1t con-
tains writeups and general statistics
Of matter about the state and each

To-Day the books will be ready for
distribution early in June. Today he
shipped several thousand copies of
the 1907 booster book to the state
headquarters at the exposition for

TAKE DUTY OFF BAGS
Congress Asked TO Admit Grain Bags
to America Free From
Tariff Tax

to America Free From
Tariff Tax
WASHINGTON. D. Congress
man Miles Poindexter, Of Spokane,
Wash, submitted the following state
ment on the tariff on grain sacks
to the senate committee
"Gentlemen l take this oppor-
Itunity of presenting to you the great
interest of the people of the Pacific
coast in the free importation of jute
grain bags, which are now proposed
to be taxed in the pending tarlw
bill under consideration by the sen
ate, and especially by your committee
at rate of rs of a cent a pound
and 10 per cent ad valorum (see
paragraph 349 Of II. X. 1889. Tht5

existing law or Dingley act; and UNI
der it in round numbers, 100000 a
year is levied upon the wheat grow
ling industry of that portion of the
Pacific coast commonly called the
inland Empire, consisting of eastern
Oregon and Washington and a por-
Ition Of Idaho, in which l am particu-
arly interested, where, in round
numbers, some 50,000,000 bushels
of wheat per annum are raised, the
great bulk of which is exported to
Liverpool from the ports Of Tacoma
and Portland, Practically all of this
export is shipped in sacks, each sack
Containing approximately two bushels
of wheat Nearly all the sacks used
Iae imported from Calcutta, and are
commercially known as standard CaIt
cutta 22x36 grain bags each bag
weighs twelve ounces; and the per-
Icentage of duty under the present
tariff and the proposed tariff is 31.4
per cent.
During the past few years the
average number of these grain bags
annually used on the Pacific coast
lis 45,e00,0O0, of which 100000
were imported from Calcutta and g.
100000 made in California and
Washington penitentiaries; leaving
about 100000 unaccounted for,
some of which are old sacks collect
ed by the local dealers and some of
(which are manufactured by local con-
cerps. 4

cents from year to year, so that of
the 45,0OO,000 annually consumed

| (Which, OF course, affects the price
of all sacks in the market to the ex-
tent OF the tariff, the number manu-
fractured by free labor in this coun-
TRY being a negligi quantity is
approximately one-third of the cost.
This tariff is not paid upon ar
deles which are to be retained aud
consumed in this cdantry, but upor&
what is essentially merely an instrh-
ment of export the sacks being
bought each season by the farmers,
filled with wheat, and exported the
same season.
Il view this tariff under these cir
icumstances as being to all intents
and purposes a burden placed upon
one of the most important exports
of the country. OF course, the Con-
Istitution of the United States tor
bids a tax upon exports, but to all
Imtents and purposes the spirit of this
provision of the Constitution is vio-
lated by the tax upon grain sacks
which are used almost entirely as
means for the export Of grain"

of this note" the maid read, Ito my
office, you may save yourself some
trouble, and the humiliation of being
taken to the police station, instead
of here. DR.. Furnivall.' ~
The doctor looked at the detective,
whose face was blank, and then said
to the maid:
Explain that to Mike and let him
deliver it. Tell him to hurry. Now"
he continued briskly to the detective,
you shall see the culprit and hear
his confession. l have no time to
waste over this affair, and while we
are waiting we will improve the mo-
ments by indulging in word or two
of psychology. In the first place, you
should know that the proper method
of beginning the search for the perpe-
traitor of a crime is to learn all the
facts that you possibly can and then
understand that you almost certainly
have not learned them all, and par
ticularly the most necessary ones.
Then, making large allowances for
what you don't know, you should
round up the person concerned whose
character fits suggest into all the
circumstances and question him. The
usual method is to get few facts and
then go at the job without the slight
est regard for the character of the in
dividuals involved, neglecting to allow
for the facts that are unknown. In
this, way always some innocent person
becomes the first suspect. In this
particular case you say there is only
one way in which this peculiar assault
and still more peculiar escape could
have happened That is one of the
things you don't know, and for which
you have made no allowance in your

be only stealing from himself, for he'd
have it in a day or two. And on
top of that, he didn't even know that
his father had the stuff, and was all
broke up because he couldn't go to
college and be a priest"
Very good" smiled the doctor.
Facts, facts, facts, and never a word
Of character! l fear you are incor-
rigible. However, so much for the
boy-hes obliterated. Now, how
about Tony? Did he really wish the
boy to have all that money? Could
he afford to let him take it? Did
you inquire into his business, in or
der to find if he happened to be des-
perately pressed for money just now,
as NEST men are sometimes?"
Birsch appeared uncomfortable.
why, anyway" the detective ex-
claimed, 1T was Tony himself who
brought us the Black Hand letter and
told us about it, asking US to send
men to protect him. He wouldn't do
that, would he, if he had this thing
up his sleeve? Besides, he's scared
blue. l never saw anybody before
frightened clean in to his marrow, the
way he was last night. He hasn't
the brains, or the spunk, either, to fix
up such plant and get up at two
o'clock in the morning and throw
bomb into his own sons room. Bosh!
The notion is ridiculous" The detec-
tive shifted in contempt.
well, you are improving" the doc
tor grinned. You do finally glance,
if ever so slightly, at character in this
instance. And you put Tony out of
it. Now we have left only the moth

turbably in the face of his listeners

deductions. Suppose, for example,
that a criminal. after starting down
the stairs, and seeing or hearing Muir
ply there at the foot, hurried back
again and up the higher fight? Fin
negan had dropped to the street, and
he could easily have done so, making
his escape by way Of the roof"
Detective Birsch made an involun-
tary movement of chagrin.
"You see," smiled DR.. Furnivall,
you had your idea, the first that
came to you, SO firmly fixed in your
mind, jumped to the belief in Muir
phys guilt so quickly, not seeing any
other way, and were so incapable of
entertaining any other idea that you
really could not recognize this other
way out though it so openly confront
ed you. Then you never dreamed of
considering the characters of the sew
eral persons concerned. There were
three people in that tenement, any one
of whom could, as far as physical pos
sibilities go, have done the act, and
it seems as if nobody else could. Not
another soul was near. The first
question you should have put to your
self is, which one of these three has
the character in which turks the pos
sibility of throwing that bomb. Let
us in fact begin the inquiry now.
You have seen them all, While never
even heard of any of them before.
Now tell me if you think the boy
could be guilty?"
Him? Hardly" the detective grunt-
ed. He wouldn't be likely to bust
his own face all up. Besides, the
money was for him. anyway. 1t would

man reach the fire-escape without
your knowledge, you being right I'M
der it; how did he enter the room
ing it; how did he escape so miracu-
lousy; and what did he enter the
room at all for? For he could have
thrown the bomb through the glass,
you know, and it would have been
both safer for him and more within
reason"
Birsch set his lips and for a moment
said nothing. Finally he burst forth:
Seems to me you amt helping any
thing great! In minute you'll make
it out that nobody could do it, and
that consequently it wasn't done!"
Il am only showing you, so far, my
friend, what your method amounts
to-" said the doctor. BY it l can
prove or disprove anything under the
sun, because it has to do with ap-
pearances, instead of character, with
the superficials as distinguished from
the realities. l can even turn COM
pletely around and prove to you by
your method, that each one of these
persons whom we have, by my meth
cd, proved innocent, is the only per-
son who could have committed the
crime. What you lack is-psychol-
ogy." DR.. Furnivall did not wish to
say brains" nor learning" nor lin
telligence," nor even training" so,
after some hesitation, he said "psy-
chology." And he continued: ''Now,
the moment l saw this letter and
heard @the story. knew Individually
the guilty party"
s. "The-the nation you did" burst
forth the detective, involuntarily

Il see," he said Murphy let the
bomb-man in and out. That's why
he didn't see him!"
The detective appeared gratified at
this evidence of perspicacity on DR..
FurnlvalPs part. But only for mo-
ment. Then he searched the bearded
face with his eyes. He did not like
the tone of that laugh.
There's no other way out of it"
he began
Il could give you six different ways
out of it," the doctor interrupted.
But the one in which it really hap
pened will do. l suppose you have
come to ask me to hypnotic Murphy
and extract the truth from hints
that it?"
The detective flushed and gnawed
his lip.
Yes" he answered, shortly.
DR.. Furniyall rang for a maid. and
scribbling note, passed it to her.
Read that aloud-all but the ad-
dress" he said.
"'If you will come with the bearer

look of incredulity and downright dis
gust. Had the mother any reason,
could she have any reason for doing
such a thing, and if so, has she the
qualities necessary to the carrying
out Of so bold plan?"
81 don't see what you're getting at"
growled Birsch, 'and it don't seem to
me there's any sense in this kind of
business, guessing at all these things,
and wondering which one of EN- done
it. None of EN- done it. Somebody
else done it, and if you know who it
is, which / doubt, tell me, and I'll go
and nab him.
Now" the doctor continued, as if
the other had remained dumb, you
have practically eliminated the three
who were the only persons in a posi-
ton, physically speaking, to do this
thing, and that settles the matter,
with you, as far as they are con-
cerned You would take your oath,
wouldn't you, that neither one of
these persons is, or reasonably could
be, the culprit?"
Yes" he replied, shortly. Keep
up your jollying if it does you any
good, but I'd go my oath on these peo-
pie, just the same, and l guess you
would yourself 1t amt in any sort
of reason that one of them done it.
1t was the man outside on the fire
escape, and that skipped downstairs,
or up, and that Ffnnegan and Murphy
and Tony and the old woman heard,
and that Finnegan saw as we'll as
heard"

lem must be, to you, how did this
