COURT SESSION TO
Be INTERESTING
RYAN MURDER TRIAL
TO BE MOST IMPORTANT
Slayer OF Edward Dixon VIII be Com
PEELED TO Face Serious Charges
Clarence Morse, his Son, and Roy
Ellsworth Accused of Horse Steal
Ing.

With one man to be tried for MUIR
der and three to face trial on the
charge of stealing horses, the COM
ing term OF the circuit court does not
promise to be entirely devoid of inter-
est, even though the number of prison.
ers now incarcerated in the county
jail is less than for some time and
probably less than it has ever been so
Ilong after court has been in session.
Then in addition to the above the
grand jury can be counted on to fur
nish a few interesting cases.
Mike Ryan. indicted for the murder
in the first degree for killing Edward
Dixon, near Weston, last April, is the
man to be tried for murder. 1t will
be remembered that Dixon was killed
which traversed Ryan's wheat field
and that the same bullet. that killed
Dixon went on through his body and
wounded his employer, Jacob Schu-
bert
Clarence Morse. the Mckay Creek
rancher, together with his son Harry
Morse and Roy Ellsworth, are the men
charged with horse stealing. They
were arraigned before the justice of
the peace at Athena and held under
heavy bonds to appear before the
grand jury which will be drawn the
first day court is convened
Only five prisoners are in Jail at the
present time. They are Mike Ryan,
charged with murder; George Ross
alias James Mccall. charged with IN-
namiting the safe in the Echo hard
ware store and serving a 60 day SEN
tence for carrying concealed weapons;
James Braden, charged with dynamit-
ing a safe, Patsy Sullivan, charged
with stealing articles of clothing from
a locomotive in the local roundhouse
and j. A. Warren, charged with steal
ing $500 from the Martin Anderson
soft drink emporium.
From present appearances Braden
will soon be turned loose for lack of
sufficient evidence, though the Off
GERS are sure that he and Ross are
the men wanted for the Echo job. Ross
is now serving a 60-day sentence for
carrying a concealed weapon, having
had a dangerous looking gun in his
possession when arrested. What will
become of Ross at the expiration of
his present sentence is not known but
it is possible that the officers have
some evidence against the fellow of
which the general public is not aware,
He is known to officers throughout the
northwest and served one term in the
Idaho penitentiary under the name of
Mccall, but it is believed that his true
name is George Ross.

STR|KEBREAKERS
JOIN THE STRIKERS

Pittsburg, Aug. 27.-Declaring they
were treated "worse than dogs, given
rotten food to eat, and threatened
with death unless they remained at
work." three hundred strlkebreakers
at the plant of the Pressed Steel Car
company walked out in a body this
afternoon. They stated that the re-
naming three hundred would walk
out tomorrow again tying up the
plant. The men quit today because
they were not paid what they were
promised by officials. This afternoon
they were taken before government
agent Hoagland to testify in the al
legged peonage hearing. The strikers
are delighted at the turn of affairs
and hope to win ultimately.

Turner'S, N. Y, Aug. PIE. H.
Hartman, railroad king, is being
more closely guarded than is the czar
of Russia. Armed guards are pa
trolling the mountains in the vicinity
home, with implicit instructions not
to let nne approach within three
miles of the Hartman palace unless
a member of the family, business as
sociates, or one Of the physicians at
tending. These are Harriman's or
ders. 1t is positively learned that Har-
riman has not walked a hundred
steps since he arrived at Arden. He
sleeps a good deal, and when not
asleep is wheeled about.
Reporters cornered DR.. Lyle his
personal physician, and asked. did
you go to Arden to arrange for an
operation upon Hartmann"
He replied: 'It's no ones business
but my own why I went to Arden"
He refused absolutely to discus the
matter further. Despite denials Of
physicians, employees of Harriman's
estate firmly believe he is suffering
from a malignant cancer and that an
operation will soon be performed.
Hartman is furious regarding the
reports of his illness and has instruct
ed operators not to send out any more
press matter and telephone operators
have been instructed not to connect
outsiders with the residence phone.
The Arden palace is on four thou
rand foot mountain and is impossible
to ascend except by paths which are
guarded.

Seven members Of the crew of the
steamer st. Dennis, are in Jail here
charged with breaking open a chest
Of the steamer and stealing a pack

both vessels and the injury of four
persons. Only for the fact that the

Olympia, Wash, Aug. 27-John
II. Schively, state insurance commits
sioner was last night acquitted on
every count placed against him by the
house of representatives here sitting
as a court of impeachment. 2S votes
were needed to impeach, 26 voted
against him on article "a.
1t required 2S votes to convict un-
der the rules and the most cast against
him on any of the IL charges remain
ing from the original 26 were 26
votes. Two senator's were absent, be-
ing excused from the trial The bal
loting was delayed for more than an
hour by the absence of Senator r. A.
Hutchinson. of Spokane. The SER
geant-at-arms, his assistant, the Olym-
pia police and 20 deputies were sent
out to find him. He was finally To-
Gated and brought to the senate.
1t was on the charge that Schively,
while drawing pay as deputy state
insurance commissioner acted as
president of the now defunct Pacific
Live Stock association that 26 votes
were cast against him. Fourteen votes
were solid for Sehively and men who
voted with him from start TO finish
saved the day as he needed but 13
votes TO secure an acquittal on any
count
The verdict was received with great
applause by the galleries as Schively
had many friends on hand to witness
the balloting. This brings to an end
scandal that has been rumored over
the state for the past four years.
Owing to the fact that the perjury
charge is pending against Schively in
the Spokane superior court not one
vote was cast against him on that
count.

The second day of the congress was
opened by Pinchot, who dwelt upon
the primary objects of conservation.
The first. he said is development, the
second the prevention of waste, and
destruction, and third the protection
of lands, water power and other heri-
tages. He spoke briefly in praise of

PinchOt Explains Conservation.
Seattle. Aug. 27.-Chief Forester
Plnchot spoke as follows:
Conservation has three primary
objects:
''First-to develop our natural re-
sources so that this generation may
have its full share and use of tho
riches OF the earth.
Second-To prevent needless waste
and destruction of these resources, so
that future generations may like
wise have their just part in the ma
terial foundations of prosperity.
Thfrd-To see to it that the great
natural resources so developed and
protected shall be used permanently
for the welfare of the many instead
of for the profit of the few.
The conservation idea covers a
wide field. 1t aims at the greatest
coed of the greatest number for the
longest time. 1t is simple, definite
and direct II advocates the use of
foresight, prudence, thrift and intel
ligence in public affairs for the same
reasons which lead on to exercise the
familiar virtues in our private busi-
ness. II proclaims equally the right
and the duty of the people to take
thought and to act for the benefit
of the people Therefore, i'm a word,
II de1lands the application of COM
mon sense to the common practices
for the common good.
Pr;acipIcs Of Conservation Reach Far.
The principles of conservation, thus
described, have a general application,
the breadth and aims of which are
very remarkable. The development
of resources and opportunities, the
prevention OF waste and loss, the
protection OF the public interests by
foresight, prudence, thrift and inteili-
gence-all this applies with clear and
undenabe force to the conservation
of natural resources. But ii applies

Iadhani's Great Run

Hubert Latham, the French avia-
tor, today took glorious revenge for
the hard luck he experienced in his
recent attempts to cross the English
channel by establishing new world S
airship record for distance, 154 kilo-
meters, $50 meters, or s5.SS miles.
Latham covered Is laps, or $50 XII
lo-meters. in hours, 13 minutes and
. seconds and the full distance in
2 hours, IS minutes 5 3-5 seconds
which also are worlds records. The
flight was at the rate of about 6S IT,
kilometers an hour, as compared
with 1-2 made by Wright at Lem
ans and fraction under so, made
by Paulham yesterday.
Nothing could have exceeded the
beauty and impressiveness of the
prolonged flight. In grace of lines
no other aeroplane here compares
with Latham's monoplane. The
slightly tilted planes from the long
skiff-like body give 1t resemblance
when close. to a winged canoe; while
sailing high up in the air it looks like
mammoth dragon.
For an hour with fluttering wings
like living thing, it fought its way
against the storm of rain and wind
at an average height of $50 feet
mounting higher as the wind rose,
until during the worst of the storm
it was up fully 900 feet. The conten-
ton of the advocates of the bi-plane
that the monoplane would be unable
to live in a strong breeze has been
amply refused.
Latham earlier in the day with
mo. 49," an aeroplane of the same
type, made a flight of more than 70
kilometers and after he had finished
Count de Lambert covered 116 ltilo-
meters (72.73 miles, in commanding
fashion. The flights, therefore, in a
single day totaled more than 210
miles.
