IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES
ARE TO BE AMENDED

OLYMPIA, Aug. 16.-When the house
If representatives meets today plan
will be presented by the board OF man
ayers which may result in simplifying
and expediting the work OF the senate
as a court of impeachment IN the case
of T H. Schively, state insurance COM
missioner. It was proposed SATURDAY
to withdraw several of the articles OF
imneachment, leaving one or TWO
charges in each of the following
groups: Extortion, malfeasance, per-
Jury, neglect of duty.
The board of managers and the at
torney generals office take the view
that if proof is exhibited OF the guilt
IF the defendant on one OF the
charges in each group, the court OF
impeachment will be as well informed
upon the question of Schlvely's Mt
ness to hold office as if all of the
charges contained in the twenty-slx
articles of impeachment were proved.
The demurrer of the defendant to
article l.. which was sustained by the
senate, is also applicable to several OF
the remaining charges. However, law
vers in the senate who voted to sus-
tain the demurrer are convinced that
in articles III and w the crime of ex-
tortion is sufficiently charged. They
also believe that malfeasance in office
is sufficiently charged in articles XVII,
XVIII, XIX, Xxx, XXI and XXI.
Article XIV, which charges perjury,
alleged to have been. committed in
Spokane county in connection with
Schivelys testimony in the grand jury
investigation of the Pacific Live Stock
Association, has already been held to
be sufficient by the sente. Article
XVI charges neglect of duty by
Schivelys absenting himself from his
office while drawing pay for doing his
duty.
With a fewer number of charges,
the board of managers hope to expe-
dite the trial.
The amendments which may be Of
fered to the articles of Impeachment
will offer no new matter that may be
taken as grounds for further delay
by the defendant

WANT MORE
POWER
SUPREME COURT PROBE TO
AWAIT ACTION OF
HOUSE.
Statement in Preparation for
Presentation to House and Ii
Further Investigation Is Desired
More Power Will Be Petitioned
For.

Olympia, Aug. 1.-THE work of the
Halsey committee, appointed by the
house of representatives to investi-
gate charges against the supreme
court, came to a halt Thursday night.
1t was announced that no further
steps would be taken in the inquiry
until the committee has received in
ment will be prepared and presented
to the house shortly, and if further in
vestigation is desired, enlarged pow
ers will be asked for.
The committee, which consists of
Elmer E. Halsey, Thomas Bird, Peter
David, R. A. Thayer and E. B. Pal
mer, is not ready to report the result
of it's work. lie became known to the
committee that several members Of
the house had planned to introduce
resolution asking that the committee
be recalled and for that reason a
showdown will be sought before any
more work is done.
Palmer Will Quit Committee.
Witnesses who were called to throw
light on some of the transactions
growing out of the Sullivan estate
case, have connected the name of E.
tee and former law partner of Judge
Milo A. Root, with the subject under
investigation. Because of this fact,
Mr.. Palmer has declined to take an
active part in the examination of wit
nesses, holding that it would be in
poor taste to appear to be Investigate
ing himself. He requested the COM
mittee to excuse him from participant
ing in the report. That Mr.. Palmer
will resign from the committee if it's
work is continued is believed by leg
islators who discussed the question.
Dr. Jordan on the Stand.
DR.. Eugene Jordan, who was charg.
nesses with displaying typewriter
document purporting to be the opinion
of the supreme court in the Johnson
VS.. COnnor case in advance of it's pub
lie announcement, was called before
the committee last night. He was
questioned briefly concerning his con-
nection with the Ramsey VS.. Wilson
case, which involved land lying north
of Ballard, part of which was includ-
ed in the Sullivan estate. DR.. Jordan
said that he had spent between $4,000
and $4,000 in financing the case of the
defendant, Mrs. Mollie Wilson. The
committee decided that DR.. Jordan's
testimony would not throw any light
on the case and excused him from
further attendance.
After DR.. Jordan had left the stand
the committee held an executive ses-
sion to discuss plans for bringing the
question of the investigation to the
attention of the house. Mr.. Palmer
did not attend the meeting.
Bar Association Anglers Committee.
The committee has expressed dis
pleasure at the action of members of
the State Bar Association in discredit-
ing the testimony given by Herbert N.
De Wolfe, of Tacoma At the bar as
ISOLATION meeting at Aberdeen, it was
publicly stated that if De Wolfe had
no further grounds for his charges
than his testimony before the investi-
cation committee, he had committed
wrong. The bar association ap.
pointed special committee to bring
disbarment proceedings against De
Wolfe.

The DIOTOGRApH. SO CALLED.

THE DICTOGRAPH. so CALLED.
Many of the imperfections of the
teller hone seem 10 have been overcome
by another invention which ia quite
as remarkable as the Telephone was
in its early days. In many respects
it is more wonderful. says the Book
Keeper or September. The inventor
calls it the dictograph, part of the
name indicating exactly what it will
do, for it will talk when spoken to.
1t is an lnconspicuous little box, some
6 by Ii inches in size. which may be
placed anywhere On the desk and
which catches the slightest whisper as
well as the ordinary tone of voice
within a radius of Is feet or more,
and it transmits the exact words and
tone to any other office and tn any
other person 18th perfect distlnctness.
The box has two circular openings In
it's face, on Of which might be called
the ear and the other the tongue, as
it is the province of one to receive
what is spoken and the other to
speak. With this box on his desk the
man who directs a business, the law
yer or the banker, may talk in ordin-
airy tones to any one in his employ in
any part of the building, and even to
distant buildings, as though the two
were in the same room. 1t is not
necessary to speak into the mouth
piece, nor to hold a receiver &c the
ear, as with the telephone; still the
enumeration is perfect. The master
of the business may sit at his desk
to carry on conversation or walk
about the room, and even stand with
his back to the instrument: it will
serve him faithfully.
1t is said to be more sensitive than
the tympanum Of the ear, since it will
receive and transmit whisper which
the ordinary ear will not understand

ABOUT OUR COURTS.

There has been considerable criti-
cism of our courts of late some prob
ally unjust an sumo just, but the
most caustic criticism is that of Dean
William Reynolds Vance of the George
Washington University Law school,
Washington, d. c., who said in re-
cent address:
"In no other free and civilized
country are the laws go iIl-administer-
ed as in the United States. We lead
the world in most of the great strug-
giles mankind is making, but in the
administration of the law America
lags two generations behind the rest
OF the civilized world. No construc-
tive reforms of comprehensive kind
have been seriously attempted since
the days of navid Dudley Field. now
passed half century or more.
Our inefficient procedure in civil ac-
tions is reproach to the nation and
disgrace to the bar, while our pro-
cedure in criminal cases. with its
enormous expense. its incredible de-
lays, and it's frequent and gross mis-
carriages of justice, is a stencil in
the nostrils of the nations.
He suggested no remedy for the
prevailing conditions, but to the
thoughtful man, the remedy is in the
simplificatlon uf the laws. rules of
practice and paying no attention to
previous decisions and procedure.
Right is justice and every litigant is
entitled to that as we'll as the
criminal.

SOMETHING ABOUT EDUCATION.
1t has long been the opinion of lead
ing educators that the ''craming"
process in our institutions of learning,
left the student lily prepared as far
as education 10 concerned, to meet
the requirements Of business and
professional life. The trouble has
been, that the students are given a
smattering of lot of things and are
not proficient in either of the branches
taught, there being an absence of
thoroughness in the very essentials
for an education. Prof. ]. s. Clark,
head of the English department of the
Northwestern University, recently
submitted spelling test to his fresh
men. The result as alike curious and
wonderful. Here was the finished pro-
duct of Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin
and Indiana high schools spelling in
telligence, enteligance" and "intel-
egence," and anthracite "anthreecit'
and anthrisight, magazine "maga-
zeen,' "magazean" and "maga-
zene," plumage "plumeage'' and
"plumaeg.
1t would be well for our schools to
discard many of the fads and make
the students proficient IN the lower
branches before advancing them to
the higher branches. 1t is not doing
justice to the scholar to send them
out ignorant of the common and most
important branches, those which ar.
necessary in the business life.
