A remarkable method OF stimulating the
birth rate in Germany has been introduced
by the government, and 1t is said the
kaiser himself proposed the innovation.
The minister of the interior has issued a
circular note to the local authorities in all
parts of the country, informing them that
the kaiser will stand as godfather to the
eighth child in any German family, rich
or poor. A supplementary circular note
contains instructions whereby the local au-
thorites are empowered to pay to needy
parents the sum Of S15 on the birth Of
their eighth child. The increase Of the
German population by approximately
100000 births per annum during the last
decade has compelled other European
ountries to expect to have TO deal with
a population of 100, OOO,O 900 Germans within
the next half century.

HARD TO GET OUT
OF JURY DUTY NOW

out of Jury duty more dificult
and, when achieved, less satisfac-
tory. Sickness and the usual ex-
cuses are accepted, as is also ir-
reparable damage to business but
getting excused does not get the
name OF the jury list, but. on the
other hand, insures its being on
the list for the next jury.
The law provides for the dis
tricting OF each judicial district
and equitable selection Of names
from each district. The intent OF
the law is to distribute Jury duty
as impartially a. possible and to
see that every person eventually
gets his share. Likewise impedi-
ments are placed In the smooth
path of the lazy person who likes
to make salary by being always
on the jury. Under the new law
his ambitions are going to be re-
stricted.

found unconscious in her room
at the Rainier hotel, 1913 G st.

was soon brought to conscious
ness, though her condition was
very low. Emetics and other
remedies weer employed, but with
no effect. At a late hour this

Pastor Charges Relief Workers in Italy With Graft

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, March 6.-Charg-
ing graft in connection with the
relief work following the disast-
rous Italian earthquake, Rev. An
gelicus Idone, pastor of st. Mar
ian's Catholic church, Cleveland,
who lost his father and mother in
the disaster, is here today pre-
pairing to make formal complaint
to the state department of the
United States. He is an Ameri-
can citizen.
Father Idone's statement fol-
lows:
Cowarlice Costs Life.
"Cowardice by the Italian SOL
diers and police cost the life OF
my father. Suffering untold agon-
les, he lay for three days pinion-
ed under debris. The relief corps
was afraid to aid him because its
members feared the falling of
walls.
Acts of Cruelty.
"I saw Italian soldiers, under
the eyes of their officers, commit
acts of cruelty which no newspa-
per would dare print. At Villa
San Giovanni the soldiers and
their commander sold food and
clothing to the poor. I saw one
commander at the same place
carrying relief clothing and food
to his friends.

SO[ONS At

ROPE
THEY HAVE ONLY FOUR MORE
DAYS ON THE STATE PAY
ROLL - B0ISTEROUS SEES
SIONS EXPECTED.
(Times Special Service. }


OLYMPIA, March 6.-Some
time in the early hours of Friday,
March 12, the eleventh biennial
session of the state legislature
will come to a boisterous close,
after go days of toiling, schem-
ing, plotting, jobbing and getting
jobbed. The constitution pro-
vides that the session shell close
at midnight Thursday night, but
the legislators will take liberties
with the constitution to the ex-
tent of stopping the clocks in both
house along about 1880 Thurs
day night and then, having out
Joshuaed Joshua and out-Can-
noned Cannon, the legislature will
toss out laws like cereals out of a
hopper.
Three Days Left.
Practically speaking there are
three days of legislation left, for
Thursday is a period of hysteria,
dementia and locomotor ataxia
and all other outward evidences
of responsibility. The real SER
ious business of the last day is
looting the house and senate
chambers of everything that is
not tightly nailed down. Hurried
stock is taken of lead pencils, pen
holders, stamps, mucilage and
other aids to legislation laid hold
of during the seccion. Having 1t,
how to get away with it is the
problem.
Much UndOne.
In the meantime the mountain
Gus pile of bills, memorials and
resolutions has not appreciably
diminished and there is many a
lawmaker who a moneh ago was
hopeful of district fame, is now
decrying the laws of chance and
the rules committee in language
tart and vivid.
Promises to the people at home
have not been kept, and each leg
islator of imagination can always
feel the eyes of his constituents
on his every act. As a matter of
probability the chances are that
when he alights at the family de-
pot he will be greeted, Hello,
Bill. where ye been for the last
week or so?"
But the legislator doesn't know
this and wouldn't believe 1t If he
did, so he worries all night over
the fact that with three days left
his bill, so important to him and
unimportant to the rest, has not
very bright prospects.
A Fair Average.
Out of the $50 laws proposed
there is not much chance that
more than $50 will ever find an
enduring resting place on the
statutes of the state. That has
been the average in previous
years and this session will bear
it out.

DEATA BY
WOMAN
MORE EVIDENCE SECURED
HERE IN SEATTLE MURDER
CASE--HELOSSI SAID TO
HAVE BEEN VICTIM OF MAY
CLAYTON'S WILES.

Detectives Hubbard and Keefe
OF the Seattle police force were in
Tacoma again today securing evil
dence against Albert Fisher, May
Clayton and the five young men
suspected of having formed the
gang which is alleged to have held
up and murdered Harry Helossfs
in Seattle month ago yesterday.
The detectives stated that they be-
lieved there were other members
of the gang who had not been To-
Gated as yet, but that there will be
small likelihood of finding them
now that the story has leaked out.
Both Fisher and Miss Clayton
are now in the Seattle Jail, while
Grant Billion, Jack Wells, Arthur
Wilson, r. Stanley and Paul
Schultz, the other suspects, will
be held in the Tacoma jail until
their preliminary hearing in police
court Tuesday afternoon.
According to the evidence now
In possession of the police, May
Clayton is said to have lured He
lossis to the Grant street bridge
in Seattle and then turned him
over to Fisher and his followers.
The theory is that the alleged
murderers then robbed Helossis,
an dshot him. A witness saw the
Clayton woman walking with He
lossis just before the murder, and
she has since that time been stay
ing with Fisher in a cheap Tacoma
lodging house.
The Seattle authorities say they
have other evidence which, as yet,
cannot be divulged.

one of them being Oakley Hams,
managing editor of the Baltimore
Sun, as a result of one of the
fieroest storms experienced here
In years. Owing to the strength

The damage done by the storm
