SALOON SCREEN CASE
IS IN COURT TODAY
Provisions of New Criminal Code In
This Regard Are Being Tried Out
In the Local Courts This
Afternoon.

Represented by Attorneys Gose &
Gose and Dunphy, Garrecht & Evans
Adolph Schwartz is being tried in the
superior court this afternoon on the
charge Of violating the new criminal
code by maintaining a blind or screen
which prohibited passersby observing
the interior of his place of business
Some trouble was experienced in OBJ
tanning a suitable jury and when all OF
fine names had been used, it was at the
suggestion Of Judge Brents that the
jury sitting on the case of the state
against Henry McCanaughy was asked
to hurry so that some of them might
be called. But a few minutes elapsed
after the judge expressed his wishes
when the jury filed into the room
having reached a decision.
This case is one of universal import
ance to the saloon element and is be-
ing watched with the greatest interest
by them. 1t will probably reveal the
strength or weakness of the new law
and as such will be fought with BIT
terness by both sides of the case.

PAY FOR TESTIMONY
WHEN NOT ON DUTY
Policemen Think That When Aroused
From Sleep to Take the Witness
Stand They Should Be Given
Regular Fees.

Members of the local police force
may club together for the purpose of
instituting action in court to compel
the board of county commissioners to
allow claims entered by the blue-coats
who are summoned to appear as wit
nesses in many of the cases heard in
the superior court For several years
past, members of the police force have
been allowed no fee for their services
as witnesses, and it is probable, in view
of a recent decision of the supreme
court on a similar case from Spokane
county, that legal action will be start
ed to determine the right of the com7
missioners to refuse payment.
The Falls City case, which was de-
cided in favor of the policeman who
made the arrest, was taken into court
about two years ago, with the result
that the higher tribunal held the off,
Ger entitled to the fee, in case he had
been called to the witness stand while
off duty. 1t is provided in the statutes
that no officer shall be entitled to any
fee while engaged in his regular work,
but Walla Walla policemen are fire.
quently off shift, and in some instances
are compelled to lose sleep by reason
Of their presence in the court room.
For the past several years, in ac-
cordance with an opinion from ex-
Prosecuting Attorney Otto B. Rupp,
the board of county commissioners
has refused to allow claims for wit
ness fees to policemen, on the ground
that they are not entitled to the same.
The arresting officer is almost invari
ably called to the stand to give tes-
timony for the prosecution, but is not
allowed a fee for such service in this
county. 1t is the desire of members
of the police force, not to compel pay
ment of witness fees while on duty,
but for provision for the standard re-
munerat10n when OmcerS are SUD-
poenaed to appear at an hour when
they are not on duty.
Eight hours comprises a shift for
the patrolmen in this city, and when
they are required to give testimony
during the time they are off duty, they
are of the opinion it is only just ana
equitable for them to be allowed the
same fee as that granted to other wit
court in the Spokane case would re-
quire that such be done, but an action
may be necessary here to secure fav-
orable action by the board of COM
missioners.

'CANAUGHY FOUND
GUILTY OF LARCENY
AccompIiee of William LeTrace Is De-
clared by the Jury to Be Partici-
pant In Robbing Levi Bracken
of $50.

After one hour and a half Of de-
liberation Henry McCanaughy was
found guilty of grand larceny
as charged in the complaint, by jury
consisting of o. D. Tabor, H. H. Jones,
Pat Donovan, P. F. LeFrancis, ]. w.
Thomas, Will Mullinix, G. w. Smith,
A. B. Shelton, Thomas Quinn, 7. l..
Copeland, Elmer Winans and Charles
Mang.
McCanaughy was an accomplice
with William LeTrace in robbing Levi
Bracken of the sum of $50 last March
when in the White House clothing
store purchasing a suit of clothes.
Bracken was followed into this store
by these two men, who under the garb
of friendship helped him try on a suit
and in the meantime took roll of
bills which he had in his possession.
McCanaughy plead not guilty and by
! his own statements charged LeTrace
with committing the crime, saying that
he asked him to replace the money.
Reath and Benson, who represented
the defendant, will enter motion
within the next two days to lay aside
the decision of the jury on the grounds
that the evidence was insufficient.

secretary of the board of control of the
National Irrigation congress. will pre-
sent a resolution for approval by that
organization at it's seventeenth ses-
sions in Spokane, August to IA, mem
orializing congress to issue 3 per cent
gold bonds, running 100 years, to the
amount of $5,OOO,OOO,OO0, or as much
thereof as may be necessary, for the
following specific purposes:
One billion dollars for drainage of
overilowed and swamp lands, thus re-
claiming an area equal to 100000 square
miles.
One billion dollars for the reclan1a-
ton by irrigation of 40,OOO,OOO acres
Of arid and semi-arid lands, now part
ly or wholly waste
One billion dollars to construct and
improve deep waterways, to develop
thousands Of miles of territory now
without adequate transportation facil-
tiles.
One billion dollars for good roads
and national highways, for the lack of
which the loss to the farm area of the
United States is approximately $780,
100000 annually.
One billion dollars for forest pro-
lection, reforestation and conservation
of the forest resources, thus assuring
timber and lumber supplies for CEN
turies to come.
Five billions of dollars is an enor-
nous sum, but it is no more than IS
actually required to carry out the gil
gantic scheme in developing millions
of acres of lands in various parts of
the United States now absolutely
worthless" said Mr.. Hooker in ex-
planning the plan. Congress will not
be asked to appropriate a penny. The
returns from the improvements would
pay off the bonds. The government
would simply act as a banker, as it
does now for the various irrigation pro-
jects. The bond issue would provide
ample funds as required to carry out
the work in the several divisions, at the
same time giving the best possible col
lateral to those investing in these Sc
curities.
Government figures bear out the
statement that there is enough good
land overfiowed in Minnesota, WiscOn-
sin, Kansas, Nebraska, Louisiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Mississippi to
make an area as large as the state of
Missouri, or more than 44,0O0,000 acres,
