Thank Northern Pacific.

On motion Of Professor L. F. An
,derson, Of Whitman college, the Com
mercial club through the president
and secretary. will extend a vote Of
thanks to the Northern Pacific COM
pany for the installation of through
sleeper service between Walla Walla
and Seattle.
The motion was made by Professor
Anderson following the talk made by
Rev. w. c. Shaw. in which he voiced
his regret at his failure to secure the
international cleric for this city in
1910, owing to the poor transportation
facilities. Rev Shaw has just re-
turned from the meeting which was
held in Vancouver. and was delegated
by the club to make a special effort
to SECURE tho next meeting for this
Fcity. Owing to poor railroad, accom-
modations, he was unable to carry his
point, and Seattle was chosen. Soon
after his return. Rev Shaw was in
formed that through sleeper service
had been put on the Northern Pacific
lime, but too late to bring the desired
fresult and remove the one objection
to swalla WlalIa as the place of the
next session.

Demands Investigation of
Judicial Department
BY Legislature.
VIOLATED THEIR
OATHS, HE SAYS
Attorney DeWolfe Makes
Some Sensational Charges
Against Judges.

TACOMA, June 29.-Demandinq an
investigation of the state supreme
court by the legislature, Attorney Her.
bert N. DeWoIfe of Tacoma, has filed
with the legislature a complaint in
which every member of the court ex-
cept Judge Parker, is charged with "d-
reetly and wilfuIIy violating the oath,
and that in four specifically named
cases erroneous decisions were handed
down. either for monetary considera-
tion or political prestige.
In three of the cases cited. i'm which
DeWolfe was counsel, the interests of
the Stone and Webster people. operat-
ing the Seattle Electric company, were
concerned. TIL fourth case was that
in which the Mutual Life Insurance
company, represented by attorneys in
terested in the Post-Intelligencer, was
victor by the courts decision.
The justices whom he charges with
corruption are: Rudkin, Fullerton,
Mount, Dunbar, Crow, Gose. Chadwick
and Morris. DeWolfe says he will also
present his case to the state bar asso-
citation.
He declares that "a pract1cfng at
torney dare not raise his voice in pro-
test IN court but must graciously re-
ceive the harpoOn and say nothing"
The complaint continues:
In all these cases the opinion OK
the court is cOuched in such language
that anyone reading them is led to be-
lieve the cases were decided correctly,
according to the law and facts, but an
investigation of the records will clear
ly substantiate the charges of cor
ruption."
DeWolfe first submitted the COM
plant to the governor with the request
he submit it to the legislature The
governor returned it with a letter say
ing that unless DeWolfe could furnish
proof that the members of the court
accepted bribes, or were, corrupt, he
did not feel like placing it before the
Legislature"
DeWolfe defied the supreme court
to cite him for contempt, and says he
has no selfish motives in bringing the
charges; that he is doing it as a SER
vice to the practicing attorneys of the
state, as he is retiring from the p7ac-
tice of law
Charges against the members of the
supreme court filed with the legisla-
ture were referred to the house judi
ciary committee. Palmer Of King
county, said today that he will bring

SAN FRANCISCO, June zs.-Simul-
taneously with the arrival if John D.
SIEsckles from San Diego TODAY. his
newspaper, the Call, printed an ed
itorial pledging support to the graft
prosecution, saying with reference to
the candidacy of Heney for district
attorney:
He is the only man in the field
now who seems to fill the bill"
The action Of persons, who in the
name of the Good Government league,
sent out straw ballots" bearing hid
den marks by which the persons who
wished to vote anonymously could be
Identified. are condemned by the pa
per. The editorial says:
The Call is on the peoples side in
this struggle and will stay there. 1t
has not wavered in it's support of the
district attorney during the long fight
to catch and convict the author of
San Francisco's municipal shame. 1t
will continue that course until no
CRATER remains untried; and will do
it's best to secure in Langdon's place
a district attorney who will vigorous
ly and efficiently carry on the work
begun under Langdon's administra-
ton. Let it be understood that the
Calls support Of graft prosecution Is
given, not on account of the relation
ship between Rudolph Spreckles,
owner Of this paper, but in spite of it.
Rudolph Spreckles does not and never
cd have the remotest interest in this
paper, or the slightest influence in
shaping it's policies. The work would
have been indorsed il begun by Smith,
Brown or anybody at all. The papers
that defend the bribe-givers are crook
ed. The Oakland Tribune, for ex-
ample, is crooked. The Chronicle is
both crooked and cowardly. The En-
aminer, nursing wounds inflicted upon
it's circulation by an outraged public,
is cowardly The Globe is merely a
iandbill OF Calhoun's."

Delayed Legislation to Be
Taken Up by Council
This Evening.
ORDINANCE WILL
LIKELY BE PASSED
Councilmen Visit Vancouver
and Are Enthused Over
New Trucks.

After weeks Of delay, due to the fail
ure of members of the city council to
get together in acting upon the report
of the fire committee recommending the
purchase of the Seagraves combination
chemical and hose auto for the fire de-
partment, the ordinance given first and
second readings several weeks ago, in
all probability, will be brought from
the calendar tonight and given final
passage. The bid of the Seagraves
company was accepted and the report
of the fire committee adopted when
the bids were opened but there was a
hitch when the ordinance, making an
appropriation for the purchase, came
I'D for passage. There was dissatis-
faction on both sides of the council,
and after some interesting debate. the
ordinance was placed on the calendar,
where it has since remained in sweet
repose.
During the interim Councilmen F. 3.
Hull and Fritz Lehn have made trip
to Vancouver, B. c., where several OF
the combination autos are in use, hav-
ing returned this week. Mr.. Hull, In
speaking of their findings in the Brl-
tish Columbia city, said people have
no conception of the speed with which
an alarm may be answered with the
auto apparatus, and as several demon
strations were given on grades ana
level ground. the two city fathers were
convinced of the true worth OF the
machine to a city like Walla Walla.
Leaving the station at rate OF 80
miles an hour, the auto is rushed 10
the nearest fire plug, the plug man
iumns and runs with the end OF the
hose toward the plug, the machine con
tinuing toward the fire. Before one
oan realize it. almost Councilman Hull
saws. a block of hose is laid, and while
tha ,;nemen are attaching the nozzle,
+ha Ming man is making his connec-
,ions The Vancouver machines, man.
ufactured by the same company, cost
about IS per cent more than the price
hid in this city, but they are a com.
nlete success in every particular.

While In Vancouver, Councilman

once of the hose auto, and found tnat

men worked with the Vancouver auto

That the ordinance making the ap-

tonight is considered a certainty, a.
