WITNESSES
IN PLENTY !,
JUDGE ROBINSON REVIEWS
ATTACK ON COURT
JUSTICES.
If Bar Association Tries to Ex-
anime All Lawyers Who Have
Criticized Supreme Court There
Will Be a Lengthy and Interest
ing Session.

Aberdeen, July -
tornevs will not be the only ones SUM
moned before the state bar association
at it's meeting here July 70 to 81 !.
Partly as result of charges against
members of the supreme court filed oy
ATTORNEY Herbert DeWolfe, Of Tacoma,
the association will also ask Judge
J. w. Robinson, of Olympia, to 1ur-
nish proof of accusations made by MIN
against the supreme court in the prl-
mary campaign last fall.
De Wolfe will be asked to suDstan-
tiate his charges made to the leglsla-
tive investigating committee or lace
disbarment proceedings.
In addition the association proposes
to make subject Of inquiry the causes
of the retirement of former Supreme
Judge Milo A. Root, of Seattle, the in
dictment at Spokane of Judge M >:
Gordon on charge of embezzlehent
in relation to his former service with
the Great Northern railway and the
connection that existed between the
two while Root was on the supreme
bench.
No action will probably be brought
against Govnor Teats, of Tacoma, who
also made damaging statements in re-
gard to former Judge Root and Judge
H. D. Grow before the legislative in
vestigating committee. No informa-
ton of action against A. H. Denman,
another Tacoma lawyer who testified
before the house committee, can be
obtained.
Blames Bar For Conditions
In special dispatch to the Aberdeen
World from Olympia, Judge ]. W..
Robinson, who will be asked to appear
before the state bar association at it's
Aberdeen meeting July %, and furnish
proof of his charges made during the
primary campaign against Judge Crow
and former Judge Root of the state SUI
preme court, says he will be on hand.
Judge Robinson promises that if the
association tries to bring before it all
lawyers who have criticized the su-
preme court the session will be exceed
ingly interesting and lengthy. He
says:
"There are crooked jurists in this
state because members of the legal
fraternity failed to exercise proper
courage in demanding clean judi.
ciary."
He blames the bar for scandals, say
ing too many leaders among lawyers
"are on salary from those corpora
tions that exert evil influences over the
legislature and judiciary of this state. "
He says that such leaders "are en-
abled to do business and secure justice
behind closed doors. which, for such
purposes, are barred to other lawyers. -

The first-class restaurants and no

Americans, but, more, they have con-
ferred a benefit on the entire British

have been acting as humanitarian In

of England. And what has the benev-

Nothing more, nothing less, than

of Britain from the eternal bore OF
having to eat a particularly bony
perch with no other implements OF
dissection than a fork and a bit OF

Fish knives used to be considered
plebeian in England. Aristocrats
wouldn't use them. They held their
bit of polite bread In unyielding grasp
and left to the general public the joys
Of being able to eat trout In comfort
with a fish knife. Such was the sta
tus of affairs when the American res
taurant made its saving existence felt.
The American habit of both eating

GREAT RUSH
FOR LAND
MANY THOUSANDS FILE ON
THE OPENING DAY OF
REGISTRATION.
Number of Applications for Home
steads in Spokane, Occur DIAL
enc and Flathead Reservations
AT Close of First Day Estimated
at $4,000.

Snokane. July 17.-At the close of
rho first day of registration for the
cnokane, Occur d'Alene and Flathead
racaryation lands it is estimated that
% 600 applications have been filed. Of
those, 10000 are at Spokane, 10000 at
Coeur dAlene, 1000 at Missoula and
4 GOO at Kalispell. No accurate count
is nossible. as some notaries do not
koan anv record of the applications
sworn to before them. 1t is possible
that the first days registration is
heavier than it will be on any of the
succeeding nineteen days, as many
norsons seemed possessed of an idea
that there was some advantage in be-
ING first. In all of the cities where
filings are taken the hotels are crowd
cd TO overlooking and many temper
arv sleeping places have been fitted
No. The applicants appear to be an
excellent class of people, the majority
from the East looking like well-to-do
farmers or sons of farmers. There
has been no disorder, and the police
are keeping close watch for crooks.
Thousands of the land filers are from
Eastern points, and the railroads re-
port many thousands yet coming.
From all parts of the Inland Empire
there are applicants, and the east ter
ritory is sending a large quota. DR..
Charles F. Koch, of Chicago, claims
the distinction of being the first to
file at Missoula. A noticeable feature
is the optimism of the visitors, all ex-
pecting to draw prizes. Yet the
chances of success may be seen when
it is estimated that there will be not
less than 100000 applications, while
the aggregate of homesteads in the
three reservations is less than 5000.

LEpRosY IN UNITED STATES.

Stimulated thereto by her interest
In the case Of John Early, Mrs. Lam
don r. Mason, of Richmond. wife of
one Of the most prominent Episcopal
clergymen In Virginia, has collected
statistics OF leprosy in the United
States. II her figures are correct the
disease is more prevalent than most
people would suppose.
She AYERS that leprosy now exists
in Ia of the United States. Recently
there has been leper colony estab-
lished in Florida, where there are
three victims of the plague. In the
Louisiana colony there are about 200
men and women and some children
who are afflicted.
Mrs. Mason says that in the West
Indies leprosy is prevalent to an
alarming degree and that no effort is
being made to isolate the cases, the
result being that travellers to the
West Indies and the West Indians who
come to this country are often in con-
tact with the disease or even infected
with 1t without knowing IT,
The argument has always been
made by the medical profession that
leprosy thrives in the warm climates
only. Mrs. Mason brings forth records
indicating that the disease flourishes
in Scandinavia, which shows that eli
mate has little or nothing to do with
It.
The United States government has
established leper asylums in Manila
and Hawaii. This was undertaken in
self-defense. King Edward of Eng
land has recommended similar precau-
tions in South Africa and Australia.
China has communities sorely affiict-
ed with leprosy, but no isolation Of the
victims is attempted there. II is said
that there are a million lepers in
China and Japan and half a million
in India.
Mrs. Mason thinks that numerous
unrecognized cases of leprosy exist in
this country, and that the disease is
contagious, not hereditary, and can be
eradicated. She publishes, however,
the positive statement Of Dr. Atcher-
ley, of the London Royal College Of
Surgeons, who practced among the
Hawaiian lepers for Is years, and is
confident that the disease is neither
hereditary nor contagious. but due to
diet, and classihable with scurvy.
II what DR.. Atcherley says is true
the people of this country in general
have nothing whatever to fear from
leprosy, and their chief care regard
ing II should be to see that its vic
Tins are not subjected to inhumanity
by reason Of senseless or heartless
fear.--Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Useful Soil Germs.

An Intimate relation exists between
the fertility Of soil and its bacter-
ial life. 1t is therefore important to
know the conditions of the soil which
are most favorable to the rapid devel-
opment of soil bacteria, for upon
these will depend plant growth. Acid
soils are infertile because the soil
bacteria cannot grow in them. Lime
when applied to land, assists in the
decomposition of organic matter in
the soil, but indirectly Lime neu-
tralizes the acidity of the soil and
renders it more favorable to the de-
velopment Of soil bacteria, which are
the true agents for the decomposition
OF organic matter. A very fertile soil
may be so water logged as to be al
most entirely unproductive. WHY?
The excessive amount of water cuts
OFF to large extent the2supply OF air
which is required by the bacteria.
Muck beds are rich in nitrogen, and
often contain considerable phospbor-
GUS and potassium, but they will no.
produce good crops. Make them a AZ
habitation for soil bacteria, that is.
drain them and correct the acid con-
dition and they become heavily pro-
ductive. Acids In the soil may also
bring into solution minerals that have
a poisonous effect upon crosp as for
example, compounds of iron and alu-
nina. The whole difhculty must be
met By overcoming the injurious ef-
fects OF soil acids. But Nature has
provided a cheap neutralizer of acid
soils.
Lime in some OF it's forms is the
most economical 1t exists in several
available forms; 1t may be had as
quicklime, hydrated lime, air-shaked
lime, and finely ground limestone

wood ashes, llmekiln ashes, and slag

tion with other elements in phosphate
