CASE CONTESTED
IN LOWER COURT

Robert Brown, after having a pre-
liminary hearing in hte justice court in
answer to the charge of grand larceny
which has been lodged against him by
Oscar Moberg and Harry Diebel, both
of Asotin was bound over to the su-
perior court in the sum of $1,000. Judge
Mckinney held that Brown was nor
guilty of stealing the automobile bu-
that he might be guilty of not prop
erly accounting for the money de-
rived from the sale
The plaintiffs allege that they were
the owners of White automobile
which had been entrusted to Brown
for purposes of selling and that he
forthwith brought it to this city and
disposed of it, afterwards retaining
the money procured from the sale.
Brown on the other hand contends that
when he obtained the machine it was
in very bad shape, requiring an ex-
penditure of several hundred dollars
before it could be placed on the mar
ket 1t was then sold to Arthur Skin
ner, in the employ Of the Gilbert Hunt
company.
Moberg and Diebe1 both of Asotin,
formerly used this car for stage SER
vice and confessed to having loaded it
with II passengers together with nu-
iginally built for the accommodation
Of five, this fact was used against
them by Attorney John Sharpstein rep
resenting the defense, in proving that

is eliminated in favor of c.ncers or

Payments Due.
BY the changes made last night,
and by which the city will receive
$4,000 more under the new franchises
than under the present ones, the COM
pany will be required to make pay
ments as follows, on January of each
year during the life of the franchises:
Street Car.
The present franchise calls for the
total payment of $4,000 during the 25-
wear life of the same, whereas the
measure to be passed this evening
calls for the payment of $4,000, as
follows: First five years, s4o0; sec
ond five years, $500; third five years,
$500: fourth five years, $1,000; last five
years, $500.

Under the provisions of the pres
ent franchise the city would realize

First five years, $500; second five years
$500: third five years, $500; fourth

Electric Plant.

representatives from the factory, Jack
Newett, w. c. Ferguson and Roy An
derson. The machines are all the 4S-
horsepower, six-cylinder cars, equipped
with the new compressed air appliances
that eliminate the necessity or
"cranking" in starting the engines,
and finished in true Winton style.
Four speeds are available on the VIM
ton, the third being the same as that
of last year, the direct drive.
The Winton Six is the only machine
represented in Walla Walla with
which a one-year guarantee from the
factory for defective parts is offered
and a maximum speed of rs miles an
hour is guaranteed when desired.
Many new features are in service on
the big cars which are recognized by
all uto drivers as the perfection OF
mechanical construction.
Although the Hunt Holt company
has represented the Winton Six in this
territory for a comparatively short
time, their machines are the more
popular with those conversant with
the finer construction of such cars, and
it is expected another shipment from
the factory will be necessary within
a comparatively short time.

WILL RESENT INTERFERENCE
LORD LOREBURN DECLARES LIB
ERALS WANT LORDS TO KEEP
HANDS OFF THEM.

LONDON, .ov. 22-"It is my
opinion that it is impossible that any
liberal government can ever again
bear the heavy burden of office I'M
of treatment such as other measures
have had to undergo for the last four
years.
This sensational declaration by
Lord Boreburn, Lord High Chancellor,
in the debate on the budget in the
house of lords today, had an electrical
effect upon liberal members of the
house of commons, who crowded the
galleries.
Quitting the galleries they surged
into the Hobbies under the conviction
that they had heard the governments
last word before the general election;
that Premier Asquith will make a
similar declaration in the house of
commons next week and, that the long
delayed campaign against the lords
has now begun in earnest
1t was held that Lord Loreburn's
statement would only mean that no
liberal leader henceforth will accept
office unless he receives a pledge from
the crown that enough peers VIII be
appointed on the premier's nomination
to secure the house OF commons
against interference from the house
of lords in financial matters.
After the Earl Of CreWe, lord OF
the privy seal, had formally moved
the second reading of the budget bill,
without comment, Lord LansdoWne'
leader of the opposition, immediately
moved it's rejection. He quoted pre-
cedents to show that, although tht
house of lords could not amend I'm
ance bill, it had full right to discuss
it and to throw it out if it so Willed.
The people, he said, not having been
consulted. the peers had clear duty
not to decree the fina! extinction OF
the bill. but to insist that before II
| becomes law, the country should pS
allowed an expression of opinion.
Lord Loreburn replied, contendlns
that there was nothing in the bill for
ejgn to finance, with which the. nous
of commons had the exclusive rlSh'
| to deal.
The attempt of the lords to inter-
fore. he declared, was the beglnnlnS
of a system that would lead TO con-
stit,1tionaI revolution. What was en-
h,diod in the bin was not new, elthe'
i, the United States or Germany, ana
had been approved, not on'y by the
present, but by the late mouse Vi

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-James =
Clarkson, surveyor of the port of New

orally known, and for more than q

the car was in a poor condition when
given over to Brown. This was also
attested to by the auto expert who
overhauled the car
The allegation upheld by the plain
tiffs was to the effect that after using
the machine till it was broken down it
was turned over to Brown who accept
ed the offer to bring it here and dis
pose of it, For this he was to receive
$50 in payment of his services. 1t was
established beyond a doubt that it was
brought here and sold, but only after
a great sum had been expended on it's
repair. This Brown claimed to have
used up just fer the garage bill, and
his allowance.
Numerous witnesses were brought
from Asotin to testify, in addition to
local ones, and the case was bitterly
fought from the start.
