TRIAL
TO NEW YORK
IN GOVERNMENTS LIBEL SUIT
District Attorney Jerome's Letter
Causes Federal Grand Jury to
Halt It's Proceedings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The posi-
bility of the federal authorities hav-
ing to stand aside to permit the state
of New York to proceed against the
publishers of the New York World
for an alleged libel in connection with
the Panama canal purchase, was
made apparent today in letter from
District Attorney Jerome to United
States District Attorney Stimson.
Provided Douglas Robinson, brother
in-law of the president, is willing 10
appear as a complaining witness, Je-
bring action at once in the state
courts. 1t would be useless for him
to do so, he explains, if his inquiry
is not given precedence over that be-
gun by the grand jury.
Taken in connection with the fact
that the hearing today before the fed
eral grand jury was adjourned until
next Monday, after but one witness,
John F. Wier, reporter of the New
York American, had been on the
stand, Jerome's letter is believed by
many to augur the suspension mo-
mentarily at least of the federal in
quiries and an early inception of the
inquisit by the state with Robin
son as the moving spirit.

HIGH WINS FIFTH GAME
Close and Exciting Game Throughout
Great Uphill Fight of Locals
Big Crowd.

Excitement of the genuine type was
on tap at the Y. NJ. c. A. Friday ev-
ening, when the North Yakima high
school basketball team defeated the
Ellensburg high school five by the
close score of 81 to 20 in one of the
best and most exciting games ever
played in this city. The closing min
utes of the game brought the high
school students to their feet, and
when the winning basket was thrown,
noise broke loose in the JOY of win
ming a hard fought battle. 1t was
good game to win and hard one to
lose.
The score at the beginning OF the
second half stood 10 to in favor of
the visitors. Then began game up
hill fight for victory, and the speed
of the local youths told over the
weight of their opponents. With but
a minute to play the locals nosed out
a victory by one point. The general
team work of the locals also told in
the pinches. and their passing was eS
cellent. Chester Robinson shone as
the bright star of the visitors. Da-
viscourt and Suver, two husky lads,
also did good work. Bunting and
Gibson for the locals played the most
consistent game. The gymnasium
was packed to the roof with a wildly
partisan crowd. This is the fifth
straight victory for the Yakima
school.

ters, headed by tall, smooth faced,
gray-haired man about As years of
age, and who gave the name of Ham,
ilton.
Two alleged pugilists, represented
as Kid, Murphy and Kid Mckay, were
matched, and Evenburg backed the
former for $4,000, with the under
standing that Mckay was to clay
down." but instead Murphy fell with
the first blow and from his mouth
gushed the contents of big capsule
filled with red liquid. Evenburg be-
ieved his man Murphy dead.
On the advice of Hamilton, Even
burg then hurried from Los Angeles
to San Francisco, the bunco men rep
resenting that Murphy was about to
die, and all would be arrested. One
of the takers accompanied him to the
st. Francis hotel, San Francisco,
where a scare telegram was re-
ceived informing Evenburg that Muir
ply was at deaths door.
Evenburg then left the st. Francis
for Seattle, and by the time he reach
ed this city it dawned upon him that
he had gone into a swindling game.
Tonight he made a clean breast of
the whole affair to the police.
