fair, Mr.. Steinweg says, is to be one
of great magnitude and, he thinks will
be ready for opening date. The Yak
ina county building has not got along
rapidly so far as construction is con-
cerned but Mr.. Pohl offered every as
surance that it would be completed
and equipped by the time the fair
opens.
Good Work on Grounds.
Particularly good work is being
done, Mr.. Steinweg says, on the
grounds about the Yakima county
building and he is of the opinion that
when the nurserymen are through
with their work, the ladies have ad-
ded their foliage displays and the gar
deners got busy, the appearance of
the county building will bear favor
able comparison with any on the
grounds.
Superintendent Haasze says that he
has no fear regarding the exhibits of
Yakima county. 1--WE have them
now" says Mr.. Haasze land they are
the real goods. No county will be
able to do better for there isn't any
better. We have the displays, 1 say.
The real thing in exhibits And we
have them. That part of 1t is all
right. There are other things whic',
are giving me a great deal more
worry than the exhibits but we won't
speak of them at this time.''

HAMS FACES
> PRISON TERM
FOUND 6UILTY or wAASLAuGHren
Verdict a Surprise to All-Insanity
Plea Proves of No Avil-PrisOner
Remains StOlid.

FLUSHING, May 11.-Captain
Peter c. Hams, Jr., U. S. A., tonight
faces prison term of from one to 20
years. Despite the testimony submit
ted by the defense to show insanity he
was convicted of manslaughter in
the first degree for the killing of Will
liam E. Annis. Quickly following the
Hams conviction his counsel declared
they could produce af1idavits to show
that the jury had not been properly
guarded during the trial and upon
this allegation he will seek new
trial. These affidavits will be submit
ted Monday, the time set for the pass
ing of sentence. There will, of course
be the usual motions to set aside the
verdict, but the unguarded jury feat
ure is the only departure from stereo-
typed procedure looking to a new
trial. Daniel O'Reilly of counsel for
the defense said: "There is no evil
dence to warrant a verdict of man
slaughter. 1t should either have been
murder in the first degree or acquit-
tai on the grounds of insanity"
O'Reilly says the jurors were permit
ted to roam about the country in au
automobile and to go to the scene of
a suicide, which he declares is against
the law. He also says the defense
will have affidavits to show that the
jurors were permitted to leave the
jurisdiction of the county and have
been on government property at Fort
Trotter.
Conviction came as a complete sur
prise. 1t had been expected the YER
dict of acquittal on the grounds of
insanity or disagreement would re-
suit. No one was more surprised than
District Attorney Dewitt, who had
said that all he could hope for was
disagreement. No demonstration oc-
Cured when the verdict was rendered.
Hams stood up, throwing back his
shoulders in military fashion, while
the foreman recited the verdict AS
he heard the decision Hams face
grew white and chalky. He stood for
a few moments motionless staring at
the jury. Then one of his lawyers
touched him and he quietly sat down.
General Hams, the convicted mans
father, and Major ]. P. Hams, the
captains brother, broke down and
wept. Mrs, Hams, the mother, was
not present. After the jury was dis
charge Juror Craft said that four
ballots had been taken. On the first
ballot the jury was evenly divided be-
tween first degree verdict and &C.
quittal on the grounds of insanity.
On the fourth ballot a compromise
was reached.
