Sheriff Thorp has returned
from his first trip over the coun-
ty in quest of a jury for the COM

Every member Of the jury was
summoned except one, who was

That Okanogan is a county of
magnificent distances is attested
by the fact that Mr.. Thorp and
his deputies travelled a distance of
40 miles for the purpose Of sum-

The jail of Okanogan county
has been vacant for the past two
weeks, the longest period in the
history Of the county since the
jail was built. For several months
past it had one lone occupan;, who
complained bitterly Of being
obliged to endure solitary con-

speaks well for the general good
behavior which prevails in Okla

FISHING BAIT IS
 CAUSE OF TRAGEDY

New Orleans. La. Aug. 1-WiIliam King, who telephoned officers that he had killed Michael Conrad late last night and was awaiting arrest at south Point, several miles out of New or- leans. declined tonight. following his Imprisonment here to make any state ment concerning the shooting, other than to declare that he was justified.
 It was learned from neighbors that the trouble which. led to the tragedy occurred several weeks ago, when King accused Conrad of stealing his fishing bait. Subsequent occurrences. intensified the ill-feeling between the two. Conrad. son of police sergeant of New Orleans, is said to have main tained that he had been persecuted by the residents of the south Point neigh~ horhood. On the other hand. 1t is al- legged that Conrad had assumed dicta- torial attitude as to his fishing rights in certain waters Of Lake Pontchar- train

THAw CASE MAY BE
 AIRED INDEFINITELY

White. Plains. N. r., Aug. 1.-Harry K. Thaw's legal fight to prove himself sane, goes on again tomorrow before Justice Isaac Mills. District Attorney Jerome of New York will begin the session probably with the presentation of more alienists' testimony and the introduction of reports made hereto fore in support of the contention that the prisoner is a lunatic. It Is likely that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has already testehed against her husband. will be put on the stand again by the State.
 When Mr. Jerome is through. Thaw will be examined by his counsel and Justice Mills will continue to ask the prisoner pertinent questions.
 Even If the present habeas corpus suit Is denied, the Thaw case will not be settled. If he loses, he may begin a fresh proceeding on new writ.
 Tn making another petition. he could say he did not deny that he might have been insane at the time of the latest decision, but that he was now sane and accordingly demand his re- lease. This can go on under the pres ent habeas corpus system in this coun- try as long as the Thaw family cares to push 1t.

MAINTAIN STRUGGLE TO END

Paris. Aug. 2.--AIthough official Spain minimizes the Cataionian instruction and insists the revolt has been crushed, very different story emanates from the frontier. Refugees and travellers declare that the revolt is still ram pant and that desperate combats con- tinue at Barcelona. where fifty revo- lutionaries are reported to have been wounded in conflict which occurred as late as Saturday.
 Information concerning the actual situation in Barcelona and the rest of the province is rarer tonight than ever before. Although some of the news from the frontier Is from revo- lutionary sources and. therefore. open to suspicion. more reliable intelligence leads to the belief that although Bar celona is calmer. the insurrectionists bsve taken to the suburbs and the out lying country, where they are sowing the seeds of revolt and infiaming the populace to maintain the struggle to the bitter end.
 Barcelona province Is in the hands of prowling bands of workmen heav- fly armed. who occupy the railroads and highways to prevent communica- tion. and who refuse entrance to new corners. Cassan de Ia Selvas Is in the
 
 Palamos. where the monastery was fired upon and the monks tortured. the situation is described as alarming and the lives of foreigners endangered.
 Trouble Not over.
 The opinion in semi -oficiai circles here concerning Spain's internal situ- ation is pessimistic and the belief Is expressed that the trouble is not yet over. oficial Madrid announces that Barcelona is tranquil, but qualities this statement with the words, This is especially so in the center of the city"
 From Meiiiia comes the news of an- other ambush and several officers being wounded before the troops succeeded in extricating themselves from the attack of the tribeamen. Rumors are afioat that general strike win be launched tomorrow at Madrid end that strike i is being organized In the Biscayar region. All perSous subtSok e mfli. tary duty are forbfddsn fo osieaxe Spain under grave penalty. and elaborate measures have been adopted to fore stall a possible eutbrsak in the other provinces of the country.
 Officiaf denial Is given to the report that the temper of the Madrid garri- son is hostile. Another official state- ment says that the number of victims of the fighting st Barcelona is un- known, but frontier dispatches--one of them alleged authoritative inspira- tion-declare that the killed or wound. ed will aggregate 5000, and that the number of insurrectionists summartly shot was between forty and l2O.

 London. Aug. 2-The Daily Tele- graphs Madrid correspondent in a story dated. Friday night and sent by way of Biarritz. declares that although bhe military is now in control at Bar celona, the situation Is still more dif- ficult, inasmuch as tn anarchists and revoiutionaries have fled to the noun tains and nearby villages. where they will form innumeFable centers of dis affection and 1t is better to fight sedi- tion at one point than a hundred points.
 The revolutionary movement. accord ing to the correspondent. Is now ex- tending to all the industrial towns along the coast and there the rein forcements, hurriedly dispatched. are received with rifle volleys. It Is ex- pected there will be terrible resistance in the mountain districts and vil- lages.
 Numerous arrests" continues the correspondent. "have been made in Madrid with the intention of prevent ing a general strike which. however. will be proclaimed Monday
 Prisons Are Crowded.
 'It would require a book of hun drei pages to describe events at Bar ceiona." writes the correspondent. 'Montjuich fortress is full of prison CTS awaiting courtmartial. According to the captain generals estimate. a thousand persons were killed and F. 500 wounded during the suppression of the revolt in the Paralelo quarter. where most of the workmen live.
 ''The revoIutionarieb took women. old men And children from the asylums and placed them in front of the bar ricades in order to prevent the sol diers from firing and to give them time for flight. Eventually Paralefo had to be bombarded. The punishment was severe. but well merited by these enemies of humanity who ruined the finest city on the Mediterranean.
 ''The city resembled battle field. Streets were deserted and public life was paralyzed. There was no light anI no food. The continual discharge of guns and rifles was heard.
 "There is an unconfirmed report that two large local forces of the irregular militia and forest guards, making to- gether about 10000 men have made common cause with the revolution- aries.

 Legislation Prepares
 For Summer Vacation.

Washington, Aug. Tt was stated at the White House today that Presi- dent Taft does not expect to attend he open air pageants at Gloucester Mass, next Wednesday. The President had, accepted an invitation to attend the celebration contingent upon the ad- journment of Congress. MT. Taft will not leave Washington until the tariff bill becomes law and no one predicts the passage of the bill through the Senate prior to Thursday night at the earliest. After signing the bill the President will leave for Beverly, where ffe will have stay of some thing more than five weeks before starting on his long trip through the West and South.
 The Senate having retained the ap- propriation of s25.000 in the urgent de- ficiency bill for the Presidents travel ing expenses, only one obstacle re- mains as a possible bar to the trip That Is Mrs. Taft's health anu If she continues to improve as steadily as she has since the taking up of her residence at the summer capitol, the Presidents trip will be assured.
 That the executive force will be taken to Beverly Is rapidly making itself plain. Furniture and file cases filled with documents which are like ly to be needed for reference will be shipped to Beverly on "Wednesday. The President hopes to get away either Friday or Saturday afternoon.

SENATE GETS BILL
PRESENT WEEK MAY SEE AD-
 TOURNAMENT OF CONGRESS-.
Senator AIdrich Determined Tarin Bill Shall Be Made Law By Friday Democrats Will Speak
 af Length.

Washington, Aug. 1.--Unless some- thing happens to provoke heated dis cussions of a political character, the new tariff bill should be enacted into law and the extraordinary session of Congress adjourned before the end of the present week. Inquiry among Senators opposed to the adoption of the conference report on the Payne Aldrich bill indicates that the debate will not be as extended as 1t threat ened to be before the conferees re- ported.
 The Senate will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The session probably will begin at that hour each day and con- tinusd until or 2 o'clock daily until the report is adopted.
 Senator Aldrich is' determined that the conference report shall not be car rid over into next week. Ke does not expect the members of the confer ence committee to occupy very much time. It is probable that Senators who were opposed to the placing of hides on the free list will have some thing to say on that subject. and that all of the Republicans who voted against the btll when 1t was on It's passage In the Senate. will take occa- sion to explain their action. Some of these Senators will vote for the adoption of the conference report. and some of them are expected to vote in the negative.
 Senator Culberson. leader of the mi' nority, Is authority for the statement that the Democrats will debate the conference report thoroughly, but will not flibustsr against its adoption. Senators Daniel and Bailey. members of the Committee on Finance. will speak at length against the adoption of the conference report.
 Some of the Senate leaders predict that d vote will, be had on the confer, enoe report as early d Thursday. ant that ths. special session of Congress can be brought to close on Friday
