POLICE JUDGE HAS NO TIME
TO SETTLE FAMILY QUARREL
issues Edict That Domestic Belligerents
Will Get Limit.

NORTH YAKIMA, April 20.-Those
who participate in family quarrels and
then come before Judge H. D. Hunt, of
the justice court of this city, to have
their troubles Strengthened out are go
ing to be dealt with very severely here
after. This is the decision of Judge
Hunt after hearing the Weddle case
this week. This is the case in which
three sisters charged their brother. Joe
Wedlde, his wife and sister-in-laW with
having assaulted them. 1t was found
that it was very badly mixed family
affair, but it appeared that Weddle
had permitted the women to fight
among themselves, and when two were
engaged in a combat, would keep 9TH
Tiers from interfering, so that there
would be fair play. Judge Hunt says
that any who come before him again
under like circumstances will get the
full limit of the law. He has issued
this warning in the hope that it Will
have some effect on others WHO are
belligerently inclined.

0RCHARD|STS TO
SPRAY PROPERLY
County Fruit Inspector Will See That
Good Dope Is Used to Spray In
stead of Cheaper Kinds of
Whitewash.

Declaring that too much WhitewaSh
is being used for spraying purposes,
Fruit Inspector G. l.. Whitney yester-
Cay said that henceforth his efforts
would not only be to put the bugs and
moths to flight, but would also have to
do with those who do not spray their
trees in the proper manner If this
should be done, Mr.. Whitney would be
materially aided in his efforts to Sc
cure honest work and if the people
who have trees to be sprayed would de-
mand the name of the applicants for
the job and compel them 10 show their
licenses, the result would be much more
satisfactory and the trees would be
greatly helped.
In this manner close inspection can
be exercised over the spray wagons
and the inspector will be enabled to
insist that the right kind of solutions
are used.
Under the provisions of the city or
dinance recently passed by which
spraying within the city limits is made
compulsory. any man equipped with
spraying outfit may secure a license
upon application of the city clerk and
the payment of 81.

OREGON OPENS
WITH VICTORY
FIRST GAME Between MISSION.
ARIES AND WEBFooTERs
WON BY THE LATTER.
Frequent Errors, Many Hits, Poor Con
troll and Ragged All Around Play
ing Marked Contest.

Seven come leven," was the way
the dope sheet looked yesterday after
noon when the game between the Uni
Verslty Of Oregon and the Whitman
college team had been finished, the
Webfooters having won sweet revenge
FOR the defeat administered to them by
the Missionaries two years ago. The
defeat of Whitman may well be said
to have been due to a weak spot in the
infield, and it did not take the Oregon
sluggers long to locate the place. A
fair-sized crowd witnessed the game,
which was characterized by frequent
errors and loss of control, Cushman
being credited with five of the seven
bad plays made by the Missionaries.
Coleman for the University got two
of the five errors chalked up on their
side of the sheet.
Owing to some chance or happen
stance the visitors succeeded in getting
four men around the circle in the first
inning, Coleman, Ward, Clark and
Henkle making the circuit. In the
last half of the spasm, Whitman
failed to do anything worthy of men
ton, Cushman, BOrleske and Schu-
bert all failing to reach first base The
webfooters We're shut out in their half
Of the second, while by hard work Bas-
sett for the Missionaries was given a
round trip ticket In the first Of the
third Clark scored for the visitors, and
Whitman failed to get anything worth
mentioning.
Classy ball was put up in the fourth
and fifth innings, none of the players
having succeeded in getting farther
than second base, where they were cut
off from hope of further advancement.
In the sixth spasm the Missionaries
failed to connect with Belts benders
and went down in one, two, three or
der. Whitman took a bracer at this
stage, and the aeroplane scared in
their end of the inning, with the result
that five juicy runs were chalked
down to the credit of Schubert,
Schmidt, Dunbar, Belt and Perringer.
Oregon sent a balloon up for Whit
man III their parts of the seventh with
Coleman, Ward, Clark, Henkle and MS
Kenzie in the basket and five runs
were chalked to their score sheet
Whitman got what the little boy shot
at. Oregon got a goose-egg in the
eighth, and the local team made an
ace. leaving the score 10 to for the
visitors But in the ninth the webfoot-
ers added another to their list while
the college was unable to get man
around the chalk marks, leaving the
final score looking like II to in favor
of the university.
The following tells the whole tale

URBAN PROPERTY
MAY Be TAXED
Unearned Increased In Value
Must Work For City
A STRANGE CUSTOM
Tho Guests of the Kaiser Are Forced
to Drink From Difficult Cup at
Royal Hunting Grounds-lm-
peria Theatrical Law.
STRANGE CUSTOM
BY STEPHEN BURNETT.

Berlin, December lisp cial.)--
Recognition of the justice of taxing
the increased and unearned value of
urban property, owing to favorable
circumstances, has spread so far in
Berlin that it is now generally thought
that the proposals for a tax of the
kind, just submitted to the city fathers
for consideration, will be all but unan-
imously accepted.
The proposals are to levy a tax of
1 per cent on unearned increment up
to $500, the tax thereafter rising to 4
per cent on an Increment is to be cal
culated on the difference between the
original cost price, and the auction
price. If 1t amounts to more than 10
per cent of the cost price, increased
taxes will be imposed, the scale rising
rapidly when the increment is more
than 100 per cent of the cost price.
1t is true the proposed tax was re-
jected by majority Of 119 to votes,
in the corporation of 1907. but great
changes were made In it, and in the
spring of the year following it was
accepted in principle by the same cor
poration by 65 votes against A.
The tax is no new thing. 1t was
introduced first by the imperial gov
/ eminent in 1898 for Kiaostschau, to
! put check on land speculation in that
German possession, and has since been
adopted not only in large towns like
Frankfort, Cologne, Breslau and BORT
mund, but by over 100 Prussian COM
munes.
These places have seen the necessity
of raising funds for the new burdens
Germany's modern social policy, in
Guiding as it does the erection of
school buildings. hospitals and chart
table institutions of many kinds i'm
peratively demands; and notwith stand
ing the opposition of property own
ers, Berlin Is now about to yield to
the pressure of the same necessity.
1t is interesting to see a principle
tn at has caused and Is causing SO much
controversy In England thus at gall
lop winning its way to recognition as
a sound principal of state communal
and urban finance in Germany.
One member of the corporation Is de-
scribed as almost tearfully citing a
case of transfer lately by which, If the
tax had been in force, the city's treas
ury would have pocketed from $1,000
to $4,000.
The Kaiser has been absent on and

lately spent few days hunting at the
castle Of Letzlingen. At this castle
