Church never enters into political contest
without first looking to the advantage she
is to derive. She looks at every question
from this point of view. Every prelate and
every priest is taught and sworn to hold
the church above every other institution in
the world. Read Pope Boniface WILL in

swarthy Filipino.
The girl lis 20, high school
graduate and an accomplished mu-
sician.
After her astounding marriage
the mother found her living with
Alarkon at the Great Western ho-
tel, and took her home.
A. G. Hill, the wealthy father OF
the girl, is prostrated with an all
ment of the heart, because of the
wedding.
Garnett, Evelyn's sister, is
broken in spirit, but tries to COM
fort the sad mother.
But Evelyn says she is happy.
She says she will live with Alar-
kon after the shock of the mar
riage has passed.
"They tell me he'll take me to
the Philippines and make me live
In hut and beat me-" she says.
"All right, I'm willing to go with
him, because | love him."
Alarkon tried to break his own
skull against the walls Of the
home in which his young wife is
being kept. A policeman stop
ped him, but Alarkon, though a
dwarf in size, put up good fight
to die.
Alarkon says. he was the first
Filipino to join the United States

The pair fell in love while Alar-
kon was teaching Evelyn the
Spanish language and she in turn
was teaching him piano playing.

PIER COLLAPSES;

NEW ORLEANS, Ia,
June = Twenty persons
lost their lives when a
pier at Mandevill, a resort
on the north shore of Lake
Ponchertrain, collapsed
last night, according to adj

Most of the victims of the
disaster were women and
children. Ten bodies have
been recovered and the
lake is being dragged in
an effort to locate the rest.
Four hundred excur-
sionists were on the pier
when it collapsed. The
wharf was a frail struc-
lture and was weakened by
its heavy burden.
When the steamer Mar

the excursionists to New

At STAKE
/. IN SUIT
CITY'S RIGHT TO CONDEMN
POWER SITE TO BE DETER
MINED - ARGUMENTS MAY
LAST WHOLE WEEK.

Arguments which may continue
for several days were begun in
Judge Easterday's court this
morning by the city attorneys in
the attempt to prove that the city
of Tacoma has prior right to con-
demn the power site on the Mis-
|qually river. The Nisqually
Power company, recent victor in a
similar suit brought against 1t
by the Cascade Public Service cor
|poration, is contesting the city's
right to condemn the state, claim
ing that it'has thirty years prior
ity on the site in question.
If a decision is reached favor
ing the Nisqualiy Power company
the city will be forced to seek an
other power site. The Nisqually
Power company, say the city at
torneys, is not living up to its
charter in that it lis not strictly O
public service corporation. The
city, IL given the right to condemn
a power site, will become a public
lservice corporation in every sense
of the word.
The Nisqually company was in
corporated by r. l.. Mccormick
and John Bagley. for 100000.
Besides bringing suit against them
the city has brought suit to sci
aside the priority of the Cascade
Timber company, the Northern
Pacific railway. the Aztec Power
company, Cascade Public Service
lcbrporation, Soils A. Hartsell
milwaukee Land company, Henry
Hewitt, w. l. Moulton and j. L.
McMurray.
Certain of the latter are prop
erty owners, possessing land need
ed for the site, and they have pro.
tested the condemnation since the
Nisqually company first signified
its intention of constructing +
power plant on the site.

JACKSON, KY, June Ed
Callahan, former sheriff of Brea-

list, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded early today while open
ing his store.
The assassin was concealed In
a coal bunker nearby and made
his escape without revealing his
identity.
Callahan, who Is known as
Deacon Ed" has been actively
connected with the Deaton feud
which broke out afresh last Sat
urday and the shooting is suppos-
ed to have been a result of that
fight.
The ex-sheriff is wounded in

of his recovery. He is noted
character, in Breathett county and
an associate of former Judge
James Hargis, who was shot and
killed by his son, and his wound
has created a profound sensation.
Further trouble is expected at

Accuses Schively
of $4,000 Graft
Assistant Attorney General Lee in Report on In
vestigations, Says Insurance Commissioner Elk
torted Large Sum From Insurance Companies
by Means of "Sliding Scale' Operations.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SPOKANE, June THAT State
Insurance Commissioner Schively,
by means of his sliding scale" of
fees has purloined at least $4,000
from insurance companies seek
ing to do business in this state,
is the startling charge made by
George Lee, assistant attorney
general, in a report made public
today. Mr.. Lee has been working
with the Investigating committee,
and the charges made in his re-
port will form the basis of action
to be taken against Schively when
the legislature meets In special
session June %, to consider i'm
Ipeachment proceedings.
Charged Various Amounts.
"a charge of extortion laid
against Mr.. Schively," said Mr..
Lee, will be based on his sys-
tenn of charging insurance COM
Ipanies as much as they would
give. A fee of $35 is required
| by the state of companies seeking
to do business in Washington, but
| l have ascertained that Schively
would charge anywhere from that
sum to the amount of 1896, the
latter rate having been extorted
from a company at least once.
"Of the amounts collected, he
would turn over to the state only
the legal fee, the balance being
diverted to his own purse. He
sometimes divided the money with
ex-Secretary of State Nichols, who
Is said to have been in on the deal.
1--WE also believe him to- be
guilty of improper conduct in 9TH
er respects. He also failed to
make annual reports on the bust
ness transacted by insurance CON-
panies, although the law required
| him to do So"
From 75 out of about 800 in
surance companies with whom
Schively conducted business, we
have heard that he collected about
$4,000 in extortionate fees. We
are informed that when some of
them refused to give the fee he re-
quested, he took what he could
get"
Session To Be Brief
"There will be no legislation in
the extra session of the legislature
favorable to the saloons as has
been intimated," said Governor
Hay today.
The legislature will probably
not take up the question at all
according to the governor. He
said he looked for a short session
of only 10 or IL days at most, and
that he looked for little business
outside of the impeachment pro-
lceedings against Schiveiy.
