HOLDS LAW VALID.
The Supreme Court Decides the Ho-
tel Board Bill Law is Valid.

OLYMPIA, March 27.-The law
making it a misdemeanor to Jump
board bill' was held constitutional
by the supreme court in a decision
handed down today in Spokane
case.
The validity of the law was at
tackled on the ground that it au-
thorized the Imprisonment of per-
son for debt in contravention to Sec
ton II, article 1, OF the state con-
stitutiOn.
According to the supreme courts
ruling, however, a man who con-
tracts board bill with the honest
intent to pay the same and finds
himself unable to do SO cannot be
convicted of misdemeanor. The law
applies to persons who contract such
debts with fraudulent intent to
evade their payment.
The court says:
"The law goes no further than to
say that the fraudulent mourning of
a debt is a crime. Appellant has OBJ
tanned a thing Of value with intent
to defraud. He is liable, as much SO
as the one who by fraudulent pre-
tense obtains the goods of mer
chant or the money of banker"
The Judgment is the affermance Of
an order of the superior court deny
ing an application for writ of
habeas corpus for Fred Mileeke, con-
victed of violation of the act in ques-
ton

uons were being shouted from the gallery. Henson
Indignantly denied that DR.. Cook could have used
wood from his sleds TO kill animals In polar regions
He said that the natives used guns. When he was
reminded that they did not have guns in every
camp Henson gave a description OF a weapon which
he said was made OF tusk shaped like a saw, and
when hurled at beast sawed its way into the ami
mails vitals. This explanation was taken as a Joke
by the audience who then demanded that the heck
ling should be 'cut out"
Other questions, which appeared 70 be asked in
good faith. were cut off when Henson announced
that he would refuse TO answer any more inquiries
Mr.. Brady came to his rescue by announcing that
it was his loyalty 10 his captain that made him
refrain from replying 10 these queries.

was heraded by Mr.. Brady being zone OF the

said that the fact that negro had found the pole

for the lack of interest He added that the pictures
were taken by Henson. and that they were all
copyrighted. Further than that, he announced that
