PUBLISHERS RESIST
REMOVAL FOR TRIAL
Editors of Indianapolis News May
Not Go to District of Columbia
for Libel Case

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June q
Delavan Smith and Charles Williams
editors of the Indianapolis News,
successfully resisted today, for the
moment at least, their removal to
the District of Columbia to stand
trial for criminal libel on account of
publishing articles intimating that
there was enormous graft in the Pan
anna canal purchase.
Lawyers for the publishers denied
malice in the stories and editorials
complained of. They gained from
Judge Anderson ruling that evil
dence should be introduced to this
effect. The defendants had commit
ted no offense for which they could
be removed to another district for
trial, they said. Attorneys for the
government vigorously resisted the
introduction of testimony, but were
overruled.
Judge Anderson, in his ruling, de-
clared that malice in a civil action
was different from malice in a GRIM
inal case. Implied malice in news
paper publication might be suffici-
ent to justify judgment for damages
against the publisher, but in a GRIM
inal action a different degree of ma
lice was required-it must be ex-
press malice, he said.

this included sticks running from "a

ment, and to our surprise the New
York agents wired that unless we
could not cut that price he would
give the order for Southern yellow
pine and that is where the order
went. We are cutting and loading
vessels and also making car ship
ments at no profit, and it is all done
to keep the people going and retain
our customers, who, once lost, are
hard to regain.
"Once the tariff question is settled
look forward to the lumber industry
in this state regaining its old vitali-
ty. And as lumber is our princi-
pie industry, every day the tariff bill
is delayed the lumber districts are
injured, and that means all West

STRIKERS STILL OUT.
Mill Operators Grant Advance to
$1.75 Yardmen and Turn Down
Other Demands for Raise.

At a meeting of mill owners Tues
day afternoon it was decided to offer
the yardmen 81 day, the advance of
25 cents demanded when they struck.
The demand for an increase of every
man receiving SO and less was not
agreed to. Mayor E. b. Benn has
been acting as an arbitrator between
the strikers and the mill owners and
suggested this compromise.
The strikers held meeting last
night at which, according to one of
those present, it was agreed to ac-
cept the terms of the millmen and
return to work, but, after the meet
riding the vote of the meeting, and
the men failed to report for work this
morning.
The mills are all running, some of
them short handed in the yards, but
all appear to be gaining men daily.
The Aberdeen Lumber and Shingle
mills and the Union mill were the
only mills seriously affected by the
shortage of men this morning, the
others reporting that they were get
ting along very WELL although few
more hands could be worked to ad-
vantage. The strikers met again this
morning and the matter may be ad-
justed before night.
The mill owners have decided to or
ganize a permanent association for
the consideration of walkouts and
such other matters as may come up
in the future. The election of Off

could hnance an eXpOsition,-an un-
dertaking that has taxed the re-
sources of Chicago and ST. Louis
and have it ready to open on time.
And no exposition has heretofore
succeeded without financial assist
ance from the federal government.
Neighboring states have helped to
some extent, California and Oregon
by the appropriation of 100000
each, but Seattle and Washington
have borne by far the greater part
of the burden. At the same time
the city has spent $1,0O0,000 on
street Improvement hastened by the
desire to have the city in readiness
for its visitors. Even the hotel
| keepers have been infected to such
an extent by the exposition spir-
! it, that they have agreed not to
raise their prices, and there is COM
binatiOn of all interests to provide
adequate accommodation for all who
may come at normal prices. Two
million people, the railroads esti-
mate, will visit Seattle this sum-
mer.
Alaska Yukon comes first in the
title and inspiration of the eXposi-
ton. In a vague way we have come
to realize that Secretary Seward was
not guilty of the folly of which he
was accused when he paid $780,
90 for The Alaska Purchase" But
the balance sheet by which this
purchase is marvelously justified has
been seen by few. Prior to the own
! ership by the United States, Alaska
had been a field of exploitation al
most solely for its furs. Under our
administration it has been developed
into an empire of wealth. 1t is now
producing in gold alone every year
three times a much as we paid for
it, Over $120,0 100000 worth of gold,
$50, 100000 in furs and $4,000, 900
! from its fisheries have been taken out
of Alaska in the last forty years.
! 1t has developed an American popu-
lation with American energy at it's
! highest pitch. OF the 100000 ap-
propriated by the federal govern
| ment for it's representation at the
exposition 100000 was allotted to
the Alaska exhibit. The Alaskans
themselves promptly trebled this sum
in order that it might be proved be-
yOnd all question that their country
was not an icebOX, but a treasure
chest. An they will show not mere

tin, lead, coal, petroleum, gypsum,

graphite; not only its fisheries whose
product has now reached the value of
$40, 100000 year,-they will also
display vegetables, fruits and grains

only place in which money can be
extracted from the ground, but a ter
ritory of vast agricultural possibili-
ties

TARIFF THE TROUBLE
With The LUMBER MARKET SAYS
SENATOR POISON.
GrayS HarbOr Logger Talks Of Lum.

SEATTLE, June 2.-"Had it not
been for the cut made by the lum-
bermen on the Columbia river and
on Coos bay, in Oregon, there would
never have been cut in the price
OF logs on Grays Harbor," said Sem
ator Alex Poison last evening at the
Washington hotel. Senator Poison
came up to stay a few days for the
opening of the exposition, but was
not averse to discussing the logging
situation, which he said had every
thing to do with the prosperity of
the Grays HarbOr cities. Senator
Poison is one of the biggest loggers
in the Northwest.
-Four mills on the Columbia riy-
er were delivering lumber at the
ships side for SIS a thousand" said
Senator Poison. Smith, the big
Coos Bay operator, was doing the
same thing, and the Hoquiam Lum-
Der & Shingle company on Grays
harbor was also quoting that price.

logs. Such is not the case. l mere

their patrons had informed them that
all orders for fir were Cancelled unless
they could compete with the prices
quoted by other mills. 1t meant, if
these mills closed down, the throw
ing of 5000 men out of work in the
logging camps and mills, and l mere

to compete with mills that were be-

There can be no question but that
the lumber industry will take on a
new lease of life once the tariff ques-

Of lumber, although his normal busi-

customer tried to disabu this idea,
but to no avail. and while this is
illustrative of only one part of the
country, many other instances can
be told of empty yards and no de-
mand Yet the mining sections and

SEATTLE, June 2-The Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition, that cost
ten million dollars, and the first sod
of which was turned exactly two
years ago, was officially opened at
noon yesterday with fitting splen-
dor and ceremony, with a great null
titude IN attendance.
The military parade, speeches,
President Taft's signal, magic re-
sponse, all were carried out exactly
as planned.
In an article entitled "The Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition the
American Review of Reviews for
June gives the following interesting
sketch of the causes that led to the
immense undertaking, the problem
of financing it and its possibilities:
Beginning in 1905 with plan to
spend 100000 for an alaska
Fair" the exposition that opens at
Seattle on June /, 1909, speedily eX-
banded into "World's Fair cost
ing $1O,OOO,OO0, and displaying $780,
100000 worth of exhibits. This is
typical of the way things grow in
the Pacific Northwest. 1t is one OF
the reasons why the AaskaY Yukon
Pacific exposition was worth build
ing and will be worth seeing. 1t
shows what is new, what is undevel-
oped Other eXpositions have aimed
to exhibit accomplishments; the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific, on the other hand,
is an eye-opener to opportunity and
potentiality ready for development
AS officials declared, the purpos-
es of the exposition are: To exploit
the resources and potentialties OF
the Alaska and Yukon territories; to
make known and foster the vast i'm
portance of the trade of the Pacific
Ocean and of the countries border
ing thereon; to demonstrate the mar
velous progress of Western Ameri-
ca, where, within a radius OF lOOO
miles of Seattle, 100000 persons
live who are directly interested In
making the exposition the true eX-
ponent of their material wealth and
development.
It was not, of course, without the
expenditure of tremendous energy
and enthusiasm that a city OF less

Portland made a run in the first in
ming. one in the third and one in the
fifth. Aberdeen got two in the sixth
and one in the seventh, tieing the
score At this stage Casey pulled
big Chief" Pinnance out of the box
and put in Cough, who held the Cats
safe until the last half of the twelfth
when Carr got his base on balls. went
to second on Campbell's safety and
scored the winning run on Swalm's
drive over the centerfielder's head.
No one was out when winning run
was made. Most pitched good ball
for the home team, though it seemed
from the way Portland made runs in
the early part of the game and the
lack Of hits on our part that he
would lose but as the game went
along he tightened up and was pitch
ing better every inning. The hits
were evenly divided, II each. The
feature of the game was Herbert's
fast double to Strieb, nothing faster
was ever seen on the local grounds.
This makes nine straight wins on the
home ball yard.
