THE CRIMINAL CODE.

Nearly two weeks have passed since
the criminal code went into effect~and
there have been but five arrests in
Walla Walla for its violation. 1t was
thought it would work many hardships
and cause much trouble. Three of
these arrests have been cases where
there was more of a desire to test the
law than to break it. So that, in reality,
there have been but two intentional
offenses that have come before the no.
tice Of the police officers. And still
the city gets along as well as in. days
mast. The workings of the criminal
code, while perhaps not just what was
needed in the way Of legislation, have
as far as Walla Walla is concerned,
made little difference in the even tenor
of the city's way.
Although Walla Walla is near the
Oregon line, and perhaps in no place
would the tendency be so great
to evade the new provision or
the code as regards the marriage
licenses; the officers report that
there has been no diminutlon Oh
the number of licenses issued. the
prediction that everyone would go
across the line and be married in Pen
dleton has failed signaliy.

dicted. would be universally broken.

there is legal advice galore to the et-
feet that the provision is not consti-
tutional. yet there has been no one
interested enough to test its validity

Seattle, and fearing he would not be
able to see it in any other way. Van

hired a horse in Portland, and started
for Seattle on its back.
The youthful traveller crossed the
Columbia river on the ferry and
reached Vancouver Saturday morning.
firing of riding the horse, he attempt
ed to sell the animal to a man on
Fourteenth street. Seeing that the boy
was young, the man suspected some
thing was wrong, and refused to make
the purchase. The lad that evening took
the horse to the livery stable to put
him up for the night, when he was
arrested by offlcer Mullane.
AT first young McKinstry denied
anything was wrong, but he was
finally persuaded to tell the full story
of how he hired the horse and had
started to see the exposition. He had
about 81 which he would not tell how
| he got but said that he had been
working for Jones' book store in Port
land. He was kept over night and
turned over yesterday morning to his
father. who took him ana the horse

"ASTROLOGIST" TALKS
A WAY TO FREEDOM.
Admits Wife Desertion, But His Flow
cry Defense May Save Him.

TACOMA, June 22-"Prof." Edward
Knight Marsh, "astrologist,' hypno~
fist, New Thought savant, so wrought
up judges, jury and prosecution by his
hypnotic powers in a speech of one
hours duration today that notwith-
standing he admitted he was a wife
deserter he will get off with little or
no punishment.
Marsh's appeal was one of the most
eloquent ever made in a Pierce county
court room and several times he
reached emotional climaxes and wept
a few bucketfuls He gave historic
account of his life which was pro-
'nounced by those who heard it IAN
epic of simple English and classic
beauty His marriage to Mrs Marsh
he described in such eloquent ag-
grieved phrasing that his taking
. French leave" seemed to stand out as
a virtue.
The two were brought together. he
says; by a matrimonial agency and
Marsh expiated in extravagant YER
biage upon the perfect connubial fe-
licity of the first two days of their
married life. Then her love for him
froze to stony chances and he found
himself in "howling wilderness of
incompatibility.
. At the end of his speech the prose-
cution stated that the law did not
clamor for his punishment under the
circumstances, and while Marsh is
still held he viii probably go free.

SALEM, Mass, June 23.-The House
thaniel c. Hawthorne wove one of the
best known and most characteristic
tales, has been purchased by Mrs.
George r. EmmertOn and will be turn
ed into a house for settlement work.
The house was built in 1862 and or
iginally had seven gables. In remodel

were removed and much modernized
but the part where the seven gables
windows were is easily discernible to-

DOING AS OTHER NATIONS DO.

1t is a new note in American 0lplo-
macy to hear that our government has
protested against the Anglo Franco
German loan to finance the Canton
Hankow railroad in China unless
American bankers shall share in It,
1t has not been the custom OF our
government to intervene in interna-
tional financing like European govern
nents whose finance centers in and is
more or less controlled by great gov
ernment banks For this reason we
have been excluded from many enter
prises that involved a good deal OF
commercial influence. A few years ago
q French loan of immense importance
to American interests nearly fell
tfi>augh beeAuse the government
thought it could not indorse or even
recommend it.
The security was as good as the
government could offer. but foreigners
were not accustomed to de business
in that way. Nearly all the great Euro
pean loans though made by private
bankers, have some connection with
politics. This very railroad in China,
which is to run from some point on
the coast to Hankow on the Yangste
river the greatest commercial city of
China, was first conceived by Ameri-
cans who received q concession from
the Chinese government. At that tine
Russia, Grsat Britain and other states
were running after concessions in Chi
ma, thinly yelled by private companies
They set up a series of intrigues
