VIII Undoubtedly BE Released.

Harry X. Thaw Is before the
court again at White Plains asking
for a commission OF ailments to ex-
anime his mental condition and he
will probably secure the end he
seeks. Never having been crazy he
will probably escape further confine-
ment and again become a public
nuisance. Evelyn, the soiled crea-
ture who caused the murder of her
paramour after she had secured a
husband, Is still active in her efforts
to have him released. Thaw is not
the only man who has been ruined
by a dangerous woman. The end
is not yet. He will, of course, be re-
leased and will again live with Eve
lyn, who has been in reality the au-
thor OF his misery. Quite naturally
another tragedy will enter HIS llfe
for the ways Of the harlot lead down
TO death.

The Race Winners Reach This CITY.

On Wednesday, at 1870, the Ford
car No. ?, which won the great trans
continental race from New York to
Seattle arrived in Grants Pass on
their way to Los Angeles. In the
car were b. w. Scott and C. ]. Smith,
the men who won the race. They re-

dinner then they pushed on toward
their destination. The boys were

OF his produce. The only way to
control the prices, as well as the
quality Of the pack, is for all to join
the Fruit Exchange, and bring all
this produce to 1t to be distributed
from there to supply the local mar
ket; and after the local market Is
supplied to ship the remainder TO
distant markets.
"The farmer cannot expect the
merchant to handle perishable goods
on less than 25 to so per cent mar
gin OF profit. II he brings to town
crates of berries, for instance, and
sells them to the consumer at say
1926 per crate, II is unreasonable to
expect the merchant to pay him more
than 81 60 per crate; and from my
experience with the merchants in
town, | believe ] can truthfully say
that If the grower will sell to the
merchant at such a price that Will
enable him to make profit of from
25 to so per cent, depending upon
the perishable nature Of the goods,
he will have no trouble in obtaining
cash for his produce.
We are not all in this country for
our health alone, and we must live
: and let live. AS manager OF the
Fruit Exchange, ! am receiving
daily quotations from the outside
markets upon all kinds OF fruit and
produce, and know that In most in
stances the storekeepers are perfect
, " willing to pay me cash for all OF
our produce which is needed in the
local market at as good or better
values than we would receive II we
we're to ship to the outside markets
AS I said before, the farmer is re-
sponsible for the existing conditions
/ and II Is up to him to change them
by working in cooperation with the
Fruit Exchange, bringing all MS
, produce to II and allowing one mar
r to set the price at whicn his produc'
shall be sold thereby having a uni
form price in this market for every
p thing that we have to sell; this price
TO be governed by the quality OF on

demand.
~ "The person who is devoting hi

The following letter from one OF
our best farmers is an important
subject and the discussion of it may
result In clearing the atmosphere
In all fairness the Courier will give
all parties a hearing. There are
some Misunderstanding which
should be cleared up. We hope that
the publication of this letter of Mr..
Lucke will do good to both Grants
Pass and the country. All parties
should understand that the subject
Is open for discussion.

"ro the Courier: Gentlemen, the
only way to get rid OF the knocker
Is to kill him. But how shall we ac-
compllsh so cruel an act? II is a
very easy thing to do. The booster
side Is for the Strong, so let us all
get our shoulder to the wheel and
boost, one long boost, all together
The l.nccker says the city Is doing
nothing for the farmer but grab his
produce and trade him little
groceries for same Is he right?
Yes am sorry to say, he Is. Again
has the city made a hitching place
for the farmers to tie up his teams
when he gets to town? No, he can
hitch wherever he can find place
and II there is no place then who
cares, he can hold his team. Gentle
men, the farmers wives and daugh-
ters want place where they can

Of them, withuot being In someone's
way, and a place to eat their lunch.
One day came to town and | saw
a farmers wife sitting in the back
alley with two little children.
asked her why she did not go into
store and sit down. She said she
was in the way there, and she was
tired from her long ride. Gentle
men, how do you suppose | felt?
felt like painting your city's arches
over and writing shame on Grants
Pass. You, who send the mothers
ont in the back alley with then
children, Is there any wonder the
knocker Is still knocking? Let us
build rest cottage for the farmers
wives and mothers. How would you
Mr.. Merchant, like to see your wife
or mother sitting out in the filthy
alley? Would you knock? Yes, you
would Now my friends let us get
together and boom, and in right
and substantial manner. Make the
farmer feel that he is wanted and al
home in Grants Pass, and you will
soon have the knoCker killed. An,
other thing, we should strive to get
the producer and the consumer to-
gether The consumer should have
right to buy his produce from
whom he likes without paying mid
clemens profits, and the producer
should be allowed to sell to custom
ers without having to pay license
You Will all sooner or later find ou
that the farmer is the backbone oi
the country. LOUIS LUCKE. :

MATERIAL WITNESS HELD.
Chung Sin Being Held by Police at
Amsterdam, N. Y.

Amsterdam, N. Y, June 21.-Chung
Sin, wanted in New York as a materi-
al witness for the murder of Elsie ST.
gel, was arrested by the Amsterdam
police at West Galway, country ham
let 10 miles distant. The Chinaman adj
mitted his identity and acknowledged
that he was a personal friend of Leon
Ling, for whom the New York police
are searching. Chung Sin has been at
West Galway for eight days, being
employed as a cook by Harvey Ken
nedy, a New York resident who has n
summer home here. He admitted hav-
ing roomed with Leon but declared he
had no knowledge of Icons wherea
bouts. The New York police have been
notified.
When interviewed this afternoon
Chung Sin said that he was IS years
old and had been in this country for 10
years. He was born ir Canton, China,
and had always been a cook. He has a
wife residing in China. For the past
four or five months he has been en-
ployed as cook in chop suey restau-
rant at No. 4S2 29th street. Sin said he
and Ling roomed in the same building
and Sins apartment was just across
the hall from Ling's.
Asked if he was intimately acquaint-
ed with Ling he said he saw him only
about once every two weeks and that
was when he went to Lings own room
Questioned as to why he did not go to
Ling's lodging apartment more often
he said he slept many times in the
restaurant where he worked.
Sin admitted he was acquainted with
Nj. and Mrs. Sigel and Elsie and Mabel
Sigel. He claimed not to have seen
either of them in some time. although he
said he had visited at their home. Sin
declared he left New York June 10 to ac-
cept the position at West Galway. having
been engaged for the same in New York
A newspaper of the date of June Il was
found on his person when arrested and
Sin said he purchased this in New York.
This makes a conflicting story inasmuch
as he first said he left that city June 10.
Asked when he saw Ling last he stated
he thought it was about June Z. Sin de-
clared that his companion was in New
York when he left that city and he does
not known anything Of his whereabouts
now
Sin stated that Ling did not work and
could talk English fuently. The newspa
per man found Sin easy to talk to but
rather evasve in some of his answers
Some of his statements were conflicting
and it was evident that the Chinaman
was laboring under strain. Sin said he
had been aware of the fact that Elsie
Sigel and Ling were on very friendly
terms but he had never seen the girl in
Ling's room. While Sin was willing to
tell everything about himself he would
not say much of his associates in New
York. Papers containing Sins own pho
tographs and those Of Ling and the MEM
bers of the Sigel family were shown him
and he recognized them all.

THE Wight BROTHERS.
to Complete Government
Tests of Aeropianes.

Washington, June 21.-That the
Wright brothers will take every pre-
caution to prevent any recurrence OF
the accident to Orville Wright at Fort
Meyer last September is evident from
the methods they are pursuing for the
resumption of the trials this week. It
is not likely that they will make their
speed trial over the course to- Alexan-
drja, Va, on account of the roughness
of the country in that direction, but it
is most probable that they will take
the emile course in the direction of
Falls Church, Va. west of Fort
Meyer.
The two aviatOrs occupied the day
in working on their aeroplane. The ma
chine which Orville will use to COM
plete the government trial is entirely
new except for the motor, which is the
same one used in the machine wrecked
last year A double set of guy wires
has been attached to the rear rudder.
Orville Wright explained today that
although he was under the impression
that the accident last fall was due to
the vibrations of these same guy wires.
after an examination of the wrecked
part of the machine at Dayton he was
convinced that the accident was caused
by the greater power of one propeller,
causing the entire rear of the machine
to strain on one side. This caused one
blade of one propeller to strike the guy
wires. breaking them from their fas-
Jennings and disabling the entire ma
chine.
Orville and Wilbur Wright with their
chief, mechanic. Charles f. Taylor, and
Lieut. B. D. Foulers of the signal corps
Monday worked on the intricate arrange
ment of the wires bracing the planes
This is the most difficult part of the
work of assembling the machine. The
Wrights do not expect that their aero
plane will be ready to fly before Friday
or Saturday. Orville Wright said that
while the speed trials across rough
country required that new conditions be
met and overcome. he was certain that
he would fulfil all the government re-
quirements. AS the machine is a new
one, he said he would make several pre-
liminary flights over the Fort Meyer drill
grounds before venturing upon the Off
cial trial

THE TARIFF DEBATE.

Washington, June 21.-Thc amend
mcnt of the Senate committees on fin
anCe taking hides from the free list
and restoring the Dingley law rate of
II per cent. ad valorem, was before the
Senate all day, and it probably will not
be disposed of before late tomorrow II
then.
Senator Warren of Wyoming and
Carter Of Montana supported the pro
vision and vigorously attacked the at
titude of the free hide advocates, while
Senage Gage of Vermont defended the
action of the House in placing hides on
the free list. Mr.. Warren declared that
the senator had been insulted by the
charge that the Dingley provision was
inserted as the result of a midnight
conference and ne declared that free
raw material would be the death knell
of the protective policy if it was adopt
cd Mr.. Carter asserted that If the
farmers were to be compelled to sell
their products in the open market they
would demand the right to buy manu-
featured articles in the same kind of
market.
In support of free hides Mr.. Page
contended that the adoption of such
policy would not injure the farmers.
whereas it would be of vast benefit to
the leather manufacturers. He said the
Beef Trust garnered all the profits in
hides from whatever source.
Probably for the first time in the his
toy of the Senate communication
from newsboy was read in open ses-
sion today. 1t was signed by Arthur
Prague, manager of the Spokane News
boys Association. expressing regret
upon learning of the death of Edward
Everett Hale. Senator Piles of Wash
ington asked that the communication.
which was written on postal card, be
read to the Senate. thus insuring it's
printing in the Congressional Record.
