NEW PEDDLERS' LAW WORKS
HARDSHIP ON VETERANS
Statute Passed by Legislature Re.
quires Payment Of $500 License
Fee.

Is the old soldier, the men who
fought to defend and preserve the
union, to be compelled to pay a ped
dlers liscense in the state of Washing
ton? 1t seems so and in their med
ding with the law, it seems the state
law makers have worked a hardship
upon the civil war veterans In 1903 a
law was passed giving the old soldiers
a right to psddle wares about the state
in order that he might have some way
of earning a living Practically every
state in the union has such a law on
the civil war veterans, but it is believ-
ed that the law has been repealed by
| the last legislation of Washington.
For the benefit of the storekeepers,
the last legislature passed a law re-
| curing peddlers to have county IL
cense Tt;e, price of license for ped
| der On foot is 500. If he has a horse
and wagon, he must pay the county in
, which he desires to sell his wares $3.50,
and if he has two horses hitched to his
wagon the charge is $3.50. If more
than one conveyance is used the Ii
cense costs $500.
Failure to secure a license for those
engaged in peddling wares and mer
chandise is a misdemeanor and is pun
ishable by sentence of not less than
thirty days or more than ninety days
in the county Jail, or fine of not less
than $50 or more than 5000, or by both
fine and Imprisonment.
According to the law, the term ped
dler means principals and agents who
go from place to place and from house
to house carrying or offering for sale
goods, wares and merchandise. Pro-
vided that this does not apply to ven-
doris of agricultural or farm products
or to vendors of books, periodicals or
newspapers.

WIRELESS FROM BALLOON WILL
BE METHOD TRIED BY
EXPERIMENTERS.
Believed to Be Nearer Planet
Than Any Other.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June IA
Professor. David Todd Of Amherst and
Leo Stevens, the New York aeronaut,
who hope to establish communication
with Mars by means of wireless sig
nails from a balloon, have made prepar-
atoms for trial trip in their aerial
craft tomorrow.
According to their plans, the great
trip will be from some point in Ohio
which is believed to be the state near
est to Mars, and will take place in
September, when the neighboring plan
ct will be in much closer proximity to
the earths than now.
During August Professor Todd and
Mr.. Stevens will take regular exercise
at breathing tank oxygen in an air
tight compartment to acclimate them
partments in which they will be pen
ned for the greater part of their flight
to signal Mars.
"One of the things that we have set
tied is the question of ballast which
has been troubling u.s. said Mr.. Stew
ems. 1T will be impossible for us to
| handle sand or anything of that sore
We have concluded therefore to carry
| water as ballast, which will be released
by stop-cocks in aluminium boxes.
THE balloon will have lifting power
of two and a half tons and throwing
over of quarter of pound of ballast
will send the balloon up 1000 feet
Mr.. Stevens and the professor have
placed orders in France for a special
Paragraph and other instruments for
their flight. Ten miles of specially
made wire will be paid out, so that the
two men can keep in touch with the
earth. This will weigh about 200
pounds
I'VE do not expect to be obliged to
resort to our aluminium tanks" said
Mr.. Stevens, until We have attained a
height of five miles or more. The

NEW LAW HARD ON
ALL ANARCHISTS
New Death Dealing Rapid Fire Sun NJ
Soon to be Tested By the y. $. Army
WASHiNGTON'S NEW CRIMINAL
CODE MAKES BELIEF IN ANAR-.
cY PUNISHABLE IN PRISON.
"Grafting' and Gross Misdemeano rs
Mean Imprisonment for Not Over
Year and Fine of $1,000.

Advocates of anarchy, defined as a
should be overthrown by force or vio-
lence or the assassination of the ex-
ecutlve head or any of the executive
officials Of government or by any I'M
lawful means, must carefully edit their
mouth filling phrases for public utter
anccs in the state of Washington, if
they desire to keep clear of prison
cells. The new criminal code, now in
operation, designatss the espousal of
the doctrine of felony, punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for
any period Up to 10 years.
There are numerous important
changes in the law, including the abo-
lition of the compulsory death sentence
for murder in the second degree and
giving the court discretionary power to
sentence to imprisonment for life.
There is also the establishment of a
new degree of crimes known as gross
misdemeanors, which includes graft
ing" punishable by imprisonment in
the county Jail for not more than a
year or fine up to $1,000 or both.
Insanity is no defense in criminal
cases; but it is provided that when, in
the judgment of the court, any per-
son convicted shall have been insane,
an idiot or an imbecile at the time OF
the commission of the act, he may be
committed to a hospital for the insane
or to the insane ward of the peniten-
tiary until he has recovered.
The code forbids tipping and hay
ing possession of cigarettes or papers,
! and, though it is specified that "every
provision shall be construed according
to the fair import Of dts terms" the
foremost criminal lawyers in the state
declare it will cause much confusion
and in numerous instances it will COM
pei good citizens to become law
breakers.

RAILROADS SPEND
MILLIONS FOR TIES
DURING 1903 ROADS SPENT $685.
100000 FOR CROSS-TIES AT so
CENTS PER TIE.
Oak and Yellow Pines Furnish Ma
jority of Ties, Though Cedar, Chest
nut and Tamarack Used.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-During
railroads of the United States pur-
chased more than 112,0O0,OOO cross
ties, costing, at the point of purchase,
over $56,000,000, an average of so
cents per tie, according to statistics
just made public by the bureau of the
census in cooperation with the Unit
ed States forest services This was
some 100000 ties less than the
quantity purchased in 1908, when the
total was approximately 153, 100000,
creased purchases in 1908 We're, of
course chiefly due to the business de-
preston which affected every line of
industry. This forced most of the
roads to purchase only the ties which
were absolutely essential for renew
ais, and heavily cut down the pur-
chase for new track. In 1908 only
7,431 900 cross-ties were reported as
purchased for new track as against
23,557, 900 in 1907. OF the total num-
Der of ties purchased for all purposes,
the steam roads took approximately
"a per cent, leaving about per cent
for the electric roads.
1t is very interesting to note the
wide range of woods used for cross
ties The preliminary report by the
census bureau lists separately Is
classes or species OF these the oaks
are now and have always been by far
the most important. The oak ties
amounted to more than 100000. OF
43 per cent of the total quantity pur-
chased. Next to these ranked the
southern yellow pines, with 21,500,000
or 10 per cent Of the total. 1t VII be
seen that the oaks and southern pines
combined furnished nearly three
fourths of all the ties bought by the
railroad companies last year Cedar
and chestnut supplied more than
100000 ties each, and Douglas fir
nearly as much. About 1000 900 tam
arack ties were purchased, nearly g.
100000 cypress ties, and, in round
numbers, 100000 each of western
pine lodgepole pine, gum, beech,
spruce and several other woods We're
used in smaller quantities.
While the oaks, and particularly the
white oaks, have always been the pre-
ferred woods for cross-ties and still
form a large proportion of the total,
the increasing prices which the roads
have mad to pay for satisfactory oak
ties are forcing them to look more
and more for substitutes. This ac-
counts in part for the great variety
of woods reported. White oak, I'M

CUNARD LINE
PASS DIVIDEND
THE FINANCIAL DISTURBANCE IN
THIS COUNTRY BLAMED FOR
THE LOSS.

LONDON, April u. - The Cunard
Steamship Company, like the German
steamship lines, has suffered heavily
from the depression in the shipping
trade and viii be unable to pay a di-
Vidend, it was announced today. The
company's report shows a profit of
81, 475,1S0 which, however, is not suffi-
Gent to meet the depreciation in ships
and properties, necessitating the com
pany's drawing on the reserve fund
for expenses.
The report says the financial dis
turbance in the United States COM
pletely disorganized west-bound third
class traffic, the number of third-class
passengers landed in the United States
in 1908 being only $4,000, as com
pared with 1,116,0O0 I'm 1907.
After taking 100000 from the in
surance fund and $3.50, 900 from the re-
serve fund to pay the interest on de-
bentures and other obligations, the
small balance of $3.50 was carried to
the credit of the 1909 accounts.
The report says that the Lusitania
and Mauretania amply fulfilled the OBJ
legations to the Government, and a
tentative agreement has been conclud-
ed with the lines engaged In Mediter-
ranean third-class traffic, which, It is
hoped, will place this business on a
more profitable basis.
