NOT A CRIME
To SMOKE
GIGS
JUDGE GRIMSHAW DISMISSED
CASE OF STATE VS.. BETHEL
CHARGED WITH HAVING "CIG"
IN HIS POSSESSION.

The case of the state VS.. Rienzi
Bethel, wherein the defendant was
charged with having cigarettes in his
possession, was dismissed this morn
ing in the superior court before
Judge W. A. Grimshaw. The court
held that to charge a man with hav-
ing cigarettes in his possession with
out also pleading that it was unlaw-
full is not sufficient in the eyes of
the law.
I'm this case the question was one
merely of pleading" said Judge
Grimshaw. The Judge, however,
ruled that it was mo crime for a
man to have cigarettes in his posses
sion SO long as it was not for the
purpose of selling or giving away. In
other words a man may smoke all
the cigarettes he desires to but must
not sell any or have any for sale or
give any away, or have any for the
purpose of giving away. The mat
ter, therefore. seems to narrow itself
down to a matter of personal rights.
The law still remains operative in
so far as everyone is concerned except
the smoker himself.
Following Is the law in the case:
Every person who shall manufac-
ture, sell, give away or distribute, or
have in his possession any cigarettes,
cigarette papers or cigarette wrap
pers. shall be guilty of misiemean-
or"
Another section in reference to
minors provides that any person who
shall sell or give, or permit to be sold
or given to any person under the
age of 21 years any intoxicating Ii
quor, cigar, cigarette. cigarette pa
per or wrapper or tobacco in any
form shall be guilty of a gross mis-
demeanor

of events of more or less interest and
importance will share space with the
proceedings of congress, the situation
in Nicaragua and the progress of the
budget campaign in Great Britain,

ing seven days.

most interesting news Of the week
will emanate from the supreme court
of the United States. Foremost on
the weeks docket in the supreme
tribunal are the so-called cotton
leak" cases, which are set down for
hearing Monday 1t is also probable
that arguments will be heard in the
government suit against the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, which, next to
the Standard Oil case, is regarded as
the most important of the govern
ment's antitrust suits.
President Taft has accepted an
invitation to participate in the dedi-

Record reward of 5000 is offered
by Mrs. Butler. In prosecuting the
search B. F. Pickett and Frank Smith
made a perilous trip down the We

is still high and the current so swift
that it was with difficulty that the
light craft was kept from capsizing.
They went down the river about two
miles and in landing the boat was

WHO IS MAYOR OF
LEAVENWORTH?
EVEN THOUGH THE VOTES HAVE
BEEN CAST FRANK j. BRADY
AND j. X. BUTTERFLIES Ex-
PECT TO HOLD THE OFFICE.

On the face of the returns, Frank
]. Brady, formerly in the restaurant
business in this city. and well known
to all the old timers, has been elect
ed may or Of the city of Leavenworth.
At the election last Tuesday he re-
ceived 81 votes to for j. E. Guther-
less. There is a possibility, however,
that the old council will refuse to
issue a certificate of election to Mr.
Brady on. the grounds that Mr. Guth-
erless was selected by the old council
to serve out the unexpired term OF
Mayor L. J. Nelson, resigned. At
torneys in this city differ on the legal
status of the case. Some hold that
Mr.. Gutherless was selected to fill
out the unexpired term of Mr. Nell
son and this term did not expire un-
til January, 1911. Other attorneys,
however, insist that mayor holding
office under appointment can hold Of
fee only until a general election, con-
.seQuently Mr.. Gutherless' term would
expire January, 1910. 1t is likely
that this matter will go into court,
otherwise the question of validity of
the ordinances and contracts and le-
gal business transacted by the council
will be continually bobbing up.
1t will be interesting to watch the
action of the council next Tuesday
night, when the votes are counted
and the certificates of election are is
sued
Mr.. Gutherless had advice from a
Wenatchee attorney that it was not
necessary for him to have his name
on the ticket as he would hold over.
A few of his friends, however, wrote
his name in but from an examination
of the votes it is safe to say that
even should his name have appeared
on the ticket he would have been de-
feated by Mr.. Brady.
Leavenworth city officials have the
reputation of doing the sensational.
This has been the record for the past
several years.

JONES To HELP RE-
ClAMAT|0N
WASHINGTON SOLON CHOSEN
FOR IMPORTANT MISSION TO
''UNCLE JOE" - ASKED TO
RAISE FUNDS.

Washington, Dec. 11.-To Senator
Jones the senate irrigation commit
tee yesterday delegates the duty of
comforting with Speaker Cannon re-
garding the best method of financing
the reclamation work, whether by
bonds, warrants or certificates of in
debtedness.
To complete the reclamation pro-
jects now in hand would require an
expenditure of about sixty million
dollars. Money is coming in only at
the rate of between nine and ten
million dollars a year, although that
is a greater amount than was the an
nual revenue at the time the reclama-
|tion service was inaugurated.
This revenue is derived from the
|sales of public lands. BY raising
thirty millions now to supplement
this revenue, it is calculated that
existing projects can be finished in
three or four years instead of six or
seven that otherwise would be re-
quired.
The president in his speeches has
favored bond issue Secretary Bal
linger urged it in his report. Senator
Borah has introduced bill for a fund
issue Of thirty millions. but it is
known that the measure will meet
with opposition. Senator Carter ia
vors a warrant issue as needed rather
than a bond issue, while Senator
Jones favors certificate of indebt-
edness plan. Uncle Joe has not COM
mitted himself absolutely.
The senate irrigation committee
realized that much depends on the
speaker. hence the appointment of
Senator Jones, in whom Mr.. Cannon
is known to have great confidence, to
arrange a program with the head of
the house organization.
Diversity of Views on Rivers and
HarbOrs Issue
More than a dozen delegates to
the convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors congress telling what
they thought about the policy of i'm
proving the waterways of the United
States and methods that should be
pursued in bringing about the end
desired by all, characterized the meet
ing of that organization yesterday.
One of the strongest pleas for ma
tional improvement of the waterways
was made by Secretary Nagel, of the
department of commerce and labor,
who declared that the nature of the
interstate navigation made the ma
tional government responsible for
providing suitable water courses for
commerce. Neither private entef-
prises nor state appropriations could
be permitted to improve these high
ways of the nation, he said, so that,
ii they were to be looked after at all
the general government must do it.
Without making distinct reference to
the issuance of bonds for the work,
he suggested that whatever was to be
done should be accomplished in a way
to insure the prompt completion of
a comprehensive project.

Attendance Is Almost Doubled by Co.
lumbia Students.
The tota, enrolment for the fall
term at the School of Education high
school has reached the 442 mark. This
number includes students in the Co.
lumbia high school, who are in the
same building, IN accordance with an
agreement between the school board
and university authorities. The high
school opened in the fall of 1904 with
only nineteen students. The highest
mark ever attained before was last
year when there were PSI students.
No examinations are required for
entrance in the school, but students
must have completed certain amount
of work before they are admitted.
Eligible students are those who have
completed the school course in their
home towns. All teachers in the
school are specialists in the subjects
they teach. Special attention is given
all who show a desire to learn, but
those who are indisposed to work are
not allowed to continue their. studies.
Privileges of the university, such as
admission to lectures, entertainments,
museums and athletic games, are al
lowed the students. A lecture course
will be given this year in the high
school assembly room by professors
in the university.
