Governor Thinks One Measure

Items Required.

In his message to the Legislature
Governor Frear will recommend a
change in the method of preparing the
appropriation bills for the expenses of
the Territorial government. Instead of
the usual plan of drawing up<two birs,
one carrying the salaries and one -he
cost of conducting the department. Gov
ernor Frear believes that one bill should
be passed including both salaries and
expenses. He says that it would tend
to simplify matters and make it possible
to tell at a glance the actual cost of
maintaining a government department
Governor Frear declares that there is
no good reason for separating the two
items and that it will be far more salts
factory to have it all under one head
ing.
81 believe that this will be one OF
the incidental things that will recon-
mend in my message to the approaching
Legislature, said the Governor yester-
day. cit is not matter of great i'm
portance, yet L think if it is carried
into effect it will lessen the work and
also have the advantage of being more
practical.

the neat little sum of $500 and
Mr.. Morrow was rejoicing that
he had been fortunate enough
to again come into possession of
his dog. Mr.. Francisco, whose

MAKE GOOD
HAUL At BREMERT0N
Land In Launch and Make Getawy With
Almost Six Thousand Dollars In
Stamps mad Cash, Early
This Morning.

SEATTLE, May 14.-One of the
most daring crimes committed in this
vicinity for years occurred this morn
ing when bandits landed at Bremerton
in launch, forced their way into post
office there, blew the safe, stole thous-
ands of dollars worth of stamps ano
several hundred dollars in money and
escaped. 1t is supposed the robbery
occurred between 3 O'Clock and
o'clock this morning. The interior OF
the room where the safe is located was
wrecked. The door Of the safe was
blown across the room. There are nc
cleWs.
The scene of confusion greeted the
clerks when they went to work. 1t is
estimated that between $4,000 and $4,000
in stamps and between $3.50 and $500
was stolen.
They entered the postoffice by the
rear door. The mail had been sacked
and this was thrown about the room
1t is apparent that they had piled the
mail bags against the safe to deaden
the report of the explosion.

FAMILY BARD OF THE
HOUSE OF SPREcKLES
New Title Applied by Alexander Kino
Attorney for Defense, to Francis
Heney in the Calhoun
Trial Today.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-"F'am-
lily of the house of Spreckles.'' was the
new title applied to Heney this morn
ing by Alexander King, the defense's
attorney in the Calhoun trial, during
the examination of former President
Richard Cornelius of the Carman's
meeting between the witness and
Rudolph Spreckles, at which the i'm
pending car strike was discussed, was
allegel. Heney inferred from previous
proceeding that the wish of the de-
tense was to show that Spreckles was
the instigator of the strike. He stated
his offer to place Spreckles on the
stand.
Heney's def was taken up by King.
who ridiculed Heney's defense of
Spreckles. Heney declared that the
defense was making a premeditated
attempt to convey to the jury the i'm
preston that Spreckles District At
torney Eangdon and Fremon Older,
managing editor of the San Francisco
Bulletin, were members of a coalition
formed to break the influence OF the
United Railroads and to make 1t
possible for Spreckles to secure the
upper hand in the traction affairs of
the city.

Good Results Obtained.

VANCOUVER, Wash, May 14.-The
latest plant to be grown successfully
in Clarke county is ginseng. Good re-
suits were obtained. On the first day
of January, 1907. w. A. Riggs, who
lives on Nineteenth street planted a
few ginseng seed in shed he had
prepared for that purpose in his back
yard. Little care was given the gin
seng bed since that time, except to
water it occasionally. This shed was
Sx10 feet in size and 4 feet high, and
only protected the plants from the di-
rect rays of the sun.
The shed was torn down yesterday
and the plants removed. 1t was found
that there were $50 of them, ranging
in length from two inches to eight
inches. and large enough to be classed
as extra large 2-year old roots

THE TOBACCO TRUST
Says 1t Is the Most Compact and Ef.

Existence-Has Stolen
Millions.

WASHINGTON, MAY 14-Branding
the tobacco trust, as the most COM
pact and effective private monopoly
existing" Senator Beveridee of India
na, today told the senate that the gov
eminent had lost 1884 099,557 which
could have been collected in revenues
in The last eight years. Instead it has
gone into the Golfers of the octopus
He made the assertion when he in
troduced an amendment to the tariff
bill providing for an increase in the
rates of duty on tobacco He declared
his amendment would bring at least
$21,461,954 more revenue yearly tran
the present rate.
Beverage assured the cigar makers
that the amendment would not affect
them, it increasing the tax only on
cigars selling for ten cents, three for
a quarter, or over. The amendment
provides for an increase of the pres
ent rate on smoking, chewing and fine
cut tobacco, from six to nine cents a
pound
He said the trust controls over so
per cent of this business The rate
on snuff is increased to IL cents a
pound. Cigarettes retailing at five
cents package of ten, will be taxed
$3.50 per thousand, those retailing at
10 cents will be taxed $500 per thou

Schively, either as deputy insurance
commissioner under Secretary of State
Nichols, or as insurance commissioner,
by the new law, was in the wrong, yet
1 am satisfied from the view of the
case from the legal standpoint, that
there is no statue in the Washington
code by which he could be blamed.
I'm the first place, the insurance
laws of Washington are loosely con-
structed Schively is accused of hold
ing up insurance companies for
amounts of from $50 to $500. AS a
matter of fact, there is nothing in the
Washington insurance law preventing
him doing so. There is always the
plea Of unlocked for expense. Fur
thermore, the Office without additional
recompense would be Of little value"
He said the Washington scandals
are the outgrowth of "a political sltua-
ton. and would result in the purifica-
ton of state politics.

GOVERNMENT BY NIGHT RIDERS

The trial of another batch of night
riders is in progress in Tenesnsee, and
some interesting facts about such or
CARNATIONS and the men composing
them are coming out
A magistrate a member of the coun-
ty court, was whipped for talkiSn too
much That is to say, he had con-
demned night riding. AS an officer OF
the law, could he have done less? In
country community the outrages of the
local lawless constitute the leading
topic of conversation. The tariff, the
achievements of the Young Turks, the
progress or non-progress of constitu-
tionalism in Russia, are barred by dis
lance and unfamiliarity. The face of
a tobacco bed, or a tobacco barn, is OF
far more Importance and this PLAN
country squire discussed home matters
with the home folks. For that he was
dashed like a dog, and Inundated.
A merchant was visited and orders
were given him about selling peanuts
The night riders had fixed the price
and also prepared list of the persons
privileged to buy. A sale under this
price, or to anybody not on the list,
would be punished with so many
stripes. 1t dies not appear that the
merchant disobeyed mis- orders.
An old negro and his sons were rent
ers, and the night riders, for them
selves or friends, wanted the land. No
charges were brought against the ne
groes. Their room, to the night riders,
was better than their company, ana
force was decided upon. The visit was
made by night, and the father of the
family resisted. But after firing into
the house, and WOunding a daughter
of the old man, the mob entered, whip
ped the man, and then ordered the
whole family to clear out at once. The
their little all behind.
At last, at a meeting OF the gang.
the proposition was made point blank
TO kill a man. This brought a protest
from one of the members and it was
dropped. Probably the protestant mad
helped whip the squire and the old
negro. and participated in the warning
to the merchant, and on all of those
visits had taken chances of being i'm
plicated in murder. but when murder
outright was proposed he baked.
1t cannot be repeated too often that
these scenes and others like them are
not the fruits of foreign immigration.
They disgrace old American commu-
mites, and the actors are of American
birth and antecedents. Men of such
stamp have known nothing but freedom
and opportunity. They have not gone
mad under a sudden release from tyr
amy, and been hurried into excuses
by new experience. They are simply
cold blooded lawbreakers without ex-
cuse for their conduct, and should be
made to feel the full force of justice
The spirit of lawlessness feeds upon
leniency.
