City Authorities Will Take Action
to Make Traffic Across Railroad
Tracks Safer for All.

Complaint has frequently been

of lowering but one pair OF gates
whenever a train was passing. the
gates nearest the track on which the
train was running having been the
ones lowered. This has led to much
confusion, and frequently teams have
been caught on the tracks, between
the passing train and the gates: and
that serious accident has not oc-
CURED has been due mostly to good
luck.
Tuesday afternoon things came to
some hat of a climax in this matter.
About three o'clock the eastern gates
were lowered. and portion of "A

the avenue to the north. At the same
time a woman drove onto the tracks

CHAS. HAYNES
IS ARRESTED
on WAPATO BURGLARY CHARGE
Serious Charges are Also Made Against
Him by Attorney King. Now
In Jail.

Charles Haynes. formerly of North
Yakima and at one time connected
with a leading mercantile house here,
is held at the county jail on the
charge of burglary. 1t being alleged
that he entered the drug store owned
BY Hodgson and Bannister at Wa
psto on Thursday night ynI took
numerous articles from the store.
Some Of these. it is claimed. were
found in Haynes possession, includ-
inE watch and fountain pen, both
identified by one of the proprietOrs of
the drug store.
Wapato has had two burelaricS re-
Gently. one of a pool room and the
other of the drug store. The author
tiles traced the latter case carefully
and claim to have the best of evil
dence against Haynes. He was held
to the superior court with bonds fixed
at $1,000 by Justice Verran.
Other Charges Made.
Indications are that Haynes has
simply jumped from the frying pan
into the fire by coming to the county
Jail from Wapato, for he had sea, ceiy
been placed behind the bars when At
torney King, who has been in the Jail
for some time, heard that Haynes was
locked up and made some rather
startling charges.
King claims that Haynes collected
S27.5O from Kings friends. promising
to pay the amount on checks which
King had passed and for which he had
no funds in the bank. King adds that
the amount was never used for his
benefit, and that he received no assist
ance from the fund subscribed.
The attorney also claims that
Haynes took his keys, including his
postoffice key, with the promise that
he would deliver Kings mail to him
at the jail, and that he neither re-
turned the keys nor delivered the
mail. He says that mail sent him by
his relatives was intercepted and
blames Haynes for this If the latter
charge is true, it is the most serious
allegation against Haynes.
Sheriff Lancaster was asked by
King to have Haynes placed in the
same corridor with the attorney, but
declined to change his plans of having
King on one floor and Haynes on an
other. The attorney says that he de-
sires to have an interview with
Haynes and see what he knows about
his keys, his mail and the money sub
scribed by Kings friends.

ed move on the part of the miners
I'VE will take no chances, how
ever" declared the states attorney.
The date when the bodies can he
brought to the surface is doubtful.
None of the officials believe any of the
entombed men are still alive.
Fires Become More Fierce.
Subterranean fires today We're more
intense than when the men were en-
trapped three days ago, and no effort
could be made to enter the mine. Fire
Chief Horen, who arrived today from
Chicago with fire extfnguishing ap-
paratus, after learn,ng that the tenn
perature of the sand on the cover to
the shaft was 40 degrees declared
it would be no use to lift the lid to-
day. as it would mean the whole
mine would blaze up, and there be
no possibility of recovering even the
bodies.
In making the rounds of the miners
homes today, President Mcdonald, of
district ~, United Mine Workers of
America, discovered that a baby had
arrived at home which lost father
and son. The mother has been kept
ignorant Of the disaster
No Hope Is Felt.
Mine manager Taylor who repeat
eddy risked his life trying to get into
the mine, and who yesterday almost
persisted when he wandered 200 feet
from the main shaft and returned
just as the rekindled flames were
eating their way toward the cage. said
today that it is a mistaken idea that
the entombed men could have hasten
ed far out into the galleries and there
found oxygen enough to keep them
alive. He said tests on the day of
the fire showed the velocity of the
air currents in the mine to be 500 feet
a minute, and that smoke and pois-
onous gases, known to miners AS
white damp, were whirled to every
corner. He said that to argue that
pockets might be found where the gas
had not penetrated is folly.

SUES TO RECOVER
HIS STOLEN CASH
Italian Thinks He Has Good Chance
to Get Back Some Money from
Highwaymeu.

Suit was entered by publication
Tuesday in rather unusual proceed

The suit is nothing less than an at
tempt on the part of victim of a
hold-up to recover some of the
money taken from him by his assail-
ants. And, owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case. the victim
will probably get about a tenth of his
money back.
Raffaole Cipriam, an Italian la
borer. Is the plaintiff, and G. Loreto
and Joe Croste are named as defen-
dants. The two defendants recently
worked for a local railroad company,
and they are served with notice in
the papers to appear in justice court
and show cause why they should not
pay to the plaintiff s14.7b each, which
sum they are said to owe him. As
they will probably not appear, gar
nishee proceedings have been started
against their pay from the railroad.
Some two or three weeks ago the
two defendants, so 1t is charged, at
tackled and held up the plaintiff, and
took from him about 5000. At this
time they We're each of them in

Immediately after the hold-up the

Territory Right of Way and
Townsite Are Donated.

Rails are now being laid for the
street railway company on its Wide

pushed vigorously and the company
has now two lines pushed well out,
one in the AhtanuNi and the other
in the Wide Hollow. That in the All
tanum, while its extreme western end
Is some seven miles west of North
Yakima. is three miles south, making
a distance of 10 miles from the city.
The line in the Wide Hollow. which
separates from the other, or main line
at the old Wide Hollow schol, runs
due west to the Vestal Snyder. Rich
ard Strobach and Mrs. Cannon prop
critics.
TOwnsitc Is Donated.
A townsite Is to be established at
the Wide Hollow terminus of the road.
Fifteen acres of land have been given
to the company, In addition to the
right of way by the land owners there
on the understanding that the line
would be completed this fall. This
branch carries the line two miles in a
direction not previously intended but
places the advantage of street rail-
way service within the reach of peo-
pie who otherwise would have been at
considerable distance from a ter
minus of track.
1t is understood that when rights Of
way and townsite property were given
by the property owners in the Wide
Hollow no stipulation was made with
the company regarding the fare to be
charged for the service.

tainty. and the ways OF society were. 10
say the least. feverish.
Mr.. Allinson gives an excellent idea or
the vagaries of the people in a reaction
airy mood. The Republican austerity
made fashionable by the Revolution
could not long retain its hold upon the
French. There is something symptomatic
about the fact that the theatres had
been steadily kept going. even while the
guillotine had kept the nerves of the
population on the stretch. The author
has some grave episodes to recall like
the liberation of Nine. Royale. but he
deals chiefly with masses of men and
women concerned only with amusement.
When they were not engaged in mad
business speculation they sat down TO
the card table. and when they rose
therefrom il was TO dance. Taste in
dress and other matters kept pace with
the furious passion for public balls.
Here, i'm passage quoted by Mr.. Allin-
son from Mercier, is a typical picture:
They dance everywhere. All the women
are IN white. and white becomes all
women. NeCks and arms are bare. The
men are overnegligent in dress and man
and morOse air; you would think they
were one and all pondering politics or the
money market. The dance is followed by
concert, the concert by supper. The
women. who are now released from the
confinement OF the corset, eat 10 safety
They acquit themselves 10 admiration
they devour truffied turkeys and anchovy
patties; they eat for the RENTER, for the
soldier. for the clerk. In short for all and
they. gobble. they vehemently abuse the
republic In former times. ladies at
balls took some rerreshment. at most few
biscuits IN a little wine In the present
day, the utmost gluttOny prevails. and
can never enough admire their bold look
at table. and with what free. uncon-
cerned air they satisfy their keen appe-
utes- A cold partridge makes but two
mouthfuls. The viands disappear. and
large glasses OF water AT intervals cool
their palates, burnt by spirituous liquors
In the agricultural district there was
greater sobriety, and Mr.. Allison notes
that the peasants were better of than
most historians have been willing 10 ad-
nit. CHe observes. too. by the way.
that the total aggregate Of the emigres
was not as large as is generally believed)
But in his survey OF the Paris OF the
Directory-and II is with this that he is
almost entirely occupied he shows
that while the authorities labored
10 good purposes the release OF the
people from an oppression crueller
than that Of the monarchy had
produced an intoxication that simply
clamored 10 be abated. Hence. the rapid
arrival Of that psychological moment by
which Napoleon was destined TO profit
Once he had got his hands upon the
reins of government the people emerged
from the spell Of the Directory. as
from a more or less nightmarish ex-
perience. They had had their fling while
their leaders were recognizing the state.
The spectacle presented by them at this
time is. no doubt, unlOvely in many Of
its aspects. on the other hand, IL is
undeniably picturesque. and for this rea-
son Mr.. Allinson's book is thoroughly
readable.
