Action of Highest Court In Land
Marks Epoch i'm Legal History
of Nation.

WASHINGTON, u. c.. Nov. Is
For the first time in American his
tory, six men are in prison tonight for
contempt of the supreme court of the
United States. For the first time the
federal government has placed men
behind the bars as an outcome of
lynching negro. At the United
States Jail are Captain Joseph F.
Ship. formerly sheriff at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn; jeremiah Gibson, his
jailer, and Luther Williams.
Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and
William Mayes, of the same city, be-
gan to serve terms of imprisonment
imposed few hours before by the
supr. me court of the United States.
Shipp and Gibson have been found
guilty of failing to protect from a
mob Edward Johnson, whose legal
execution for rape had been stayed
by the supreme court until it could
review the case. The others were
found guilty of participating in the
lynching of federal prisoner. Ship,
Williams and Nolan were each sem
fenced to 80 days. while. Gibson,
Padgett and Mayes each received 60
days.
Case Remarkable One.
This was the second time in the
history of the supreme court of the
United States that that august body
had imposed "a sentence upon citizens
held guilty of disregarding its man
dates. The previous occasion was in
another generation.
The proceedings We're practically
without precedent. In 1875, John
Chiles, a business man OF Texas, was
brought before the court for con-
tempt in connection with dealings in
Texas indemnity bonds, contrary TO
an order of the supreme court. He
was fined $3.50. But that instance
lacked the interest of the case today.
In it were involved no race question,
no lynching, no interference with
state jurisdiction; only the majesty of
the law as interpreted by the highest
court of the land.
Case Three Years Old.
The case today originated in the
courts decision in March, 1906. to
consider the appeal of Johnson, from
verdict of the Tennessee courts
holding him guilty and sentencing
him to be hanged on charge of as
sault. The night after the determi-
nation of the supreme court to re-

Bring Traffic Here.

The construction of this cutoff
taken together with the construction
work outlined by the other roads,
would make North Yakima the hub
of vertable wheel of railroads, all
tapping rich agricultural regions. Then
the city would become the principal
shipping point for the Naches, the
Ahtanum, the lower Yakima valley.

east and north which is now being de-
veloped
Furthermore, this shifting Of the
Northern Pacific main line to the new
cutoff is in line with the announce
ments made heretofore in regard 10
the Hill policy I'm the state of Wash
ington. With the Great Northern
building down the Columbia, and ma
king a water-grade outlet to Port
land over the North Bank for the
produce of the Inland Empire, it has
been felt all along that Hill was GO

Northern Pacific shift for itself. With

therefore, to extend a line from Yak
ina through the new wheat country
along the Columbia, and Joining its
old line at Cornell. guarantees this
rotd n continued traffic from the
Yakima valley and from the Hanford
district that even Hill cannot take
from 1t. The report that the N. p.
cutoff will follow this route comes
from sources not easily contradicted.
and is in line with the reaching out
of the Donald road heretofore told
in these columns.
Citizens of North Yakima may
therefore expect shortly to find them
selves In the heart Of new railroad
construction work, and later to find
this city one of the most important
shipping points on the Northern Pa
cifc, the .orth Coast, and the Mil
waulSee roads.

YAKIMA TO BE
HUB OF STEEL
TRAFFIC TO HEAD HERE
Three Big Railroads to Centre Cen
tral Washington Traffic in This
City Is Present Plan.

That North Yakima Is about to full
fill its destiny and become the rail-
road centre of Central Washington is
the belief of business men and others
who have been watching the railroad
news of late. Following close upon
the announcement made exclusively in
the Herald Sunday morning, to the
effect that the Portland extension Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
was to tap this city, news was receiv-
ed Monday by way of Spokane that
the Northern Pacific cutoff which has
been prominently rumored for the
past month, has at last been definite
ly decided upon, and was to reach this
city also.
A hint of this plan was contained
in the Sunday papers published in
Spokane the announcement there be-
ing made locally. A gentleman close
ly allied with Northern Pacific con-
struction work reached this city Mon
day afternoon on the west bound linz
tied, and confirm ed this Spokane re.
port. He said that Northern Pacific
engineers had decided the most FEAST
bic cut off route lay from Connell,
on the present main line east of PascO,
almost due west to the Column
ba in the neighborhood of White
Bluffs, then bending southwark
through the Hanford country, and
thence west parallel with the route
announced Sunday for the new Mil
waukee line, down through the
Mckee, and into North Yakima.
Use Donald Road.
This gentleman, whose identity Is
withheld at his own request. said he
would not be surprised If the present
Donald road extension into the Mckee
was used for the latter part of this
cutoff, so bringing the Northern Pa
cific into the city along G street
Ample right of way for double
tracked road had been secured, he
said, and he added ut the cutoff
would be of standard double-track
construction.
This is in line with previous reports
about the Mckee extension of the Dom
al road. none of which, incidentally
have been denied by Mr.. Donald Such
a route for the Northern Pacific would
give that road access to the new wheat
country now being developed along
the Columbia. and would also add yet
another road to the rich Mckee region

THE JAPANESE FERN.

For Successful Growing tho Plant

Many persons who admire the Japa-
nese fern baIls which do so well for
some home gardeners and fan utterly

Of the plant, thousands Of which are
imported each season.
The scientific name Is Davallia buIla-
ia, but II Is species Of the barefoot
fern that is a native to Japan. II has
q creeping root which runs along the
surface Of the ground. and from It
small, fibroHs roots are thrown out as
feeders.
These creeping root stocks. or rhi-
zones, are snthered by the japanese
and closely fastened over frames hlled
with sphagnum moss, which retains
moisture In abundance when the plants
are growing.

ReichStag Passes the Finance
Bill
HIGHER TAXES ON BEER
Spirits, Tobacco, Coffee and Tea Adopted,
Stamp Taxes on Checks and Diyi-
dends-Legislation Forced
BueIOw from Office.

Berlin, July 1.-THE Reichstag fin
ished the finance reform legislation Sat
urday evening. II is eight months since
the measures were first introduced, but
the various bills have been SO remodelled
and 50 many substitutions have been
made that the complete legislation re-.
sembles but little the governments orig
inal proposals
The scheme finally adopted consists
Of higher taxes on beer, tobacco and
brandy, higher duties on coffee. efTer-
veseent wines, cordials and tea. The
duty on tea has been quadrupIed. The
House also adopted a stamp tax on
checks, stubs for the renewal Of dim-
bends and coupon sheets, a. wen as a
higher stamp tax Tor issues Of new
stocks and bonds, which win effect for
eign securities. A tax on transfers Of
real estate was also adopted, with
resolution requiring that bill be intro
dueed by April ], 1911, for taxing the
unearned increment in land values.
The Nationals, Liberals, Radicals and
Socialists voted against all the bills.
Dr. Won Bethmann Hollweg, secretary
Of the imperial home Office. and vice.
chancellor, speaking in the Reichstag to-
day in behalf Of the federal council, said
that the federated governments had ac-
cepted the financial bill as amended, but
that the majority of the notifications
were accepted only because Of the inn
mediate necessity Of putting the finances
81 the empire in order, 50 that national
business could be carried on out Of the
revenues rather than by promises on
she future.
The yicc-chancellor's declaration was
applanded BY the new majority, which
is composed Of clerieals, conservatives
and Poles.
Dr. Won Heydebrand, the leader Of the
German Conservatives, followed Dr.. Won
Bethmann. Hollweg. Referring to the in-
heritance tax, the Conservatives voted
against it because they were unwilling
to commit the property interests Of the
country to a Reiehstag elected by uni
versal suffrage, and he declared that
Prince Won Bnelow's policy in exelud-
ing the elericals was q political mistake
which the Conservatives regretted IN the
interests Of UNCONVENTIONAL peace.

Curiously enough the table napkin,

was first used only by children and
was adopted by elder members Of the
family only about the middle Of the
