Last night was the coolest of the
year. At o'clock this morning the
thermometers on the east side Of
Wenatchee avenue registered about
2 degrees above zero. On Mob Hill
some thermometers showed below
and on the west side of Mission street
and Wenatchee avenues below was
registered. This is the record for
this year. Trains delayed, pipes bro
ken, tracks blockaded and a general
suspension of business is the result
of the present cold wave which seems
to be passing over the greater part
of the northern and western states
and Canada.
About four inches of snow fell
here, and this is drifting badly in
some places today.
Locally the plumbers are being
swamped with orders to replace and
thaw out frozen pipes that have
burst, or at least some of them have.
This is the harvest season of the
plumbers. Different plumbers esti-
mate the average cost of repairing
frozen pipes at from $3.50 to $40
per job, depending, Of course, upon
the amount of time spent on the job.
The coolest point was at Prince
Albert, where it was AZ below zero
At st. Paul it was &c degrees below,
and at Chicago it was below. Chi
cago was swept by the strongest
wind of the year, making the cold
exceedingly bitter. The velocity of
the wind at Chicago was "a miles an
hour. At Buffalo the velocity was
% miles, but the thermometer regis
tered 80 degrees above zero there.
Kalispell reported 16 below, while
Denver had the same temperature as
Spokane.
Temperatures lower than 80 de-
grees below zero are being recorded
in some of the towns in southern
Canada. The sudden drop was due
to the rapid motion of the area of
high atmospheric pressure from the
coast eastward This area is excep-
tionally large, covering the southern
part of Canada and the middle west
and west of the United States.

This year, in order to lessen the

DIR. GHENT ARGUING NECESSITY
OF ESTABLISHING A STATE
TUBERCULOSIS.

Unless the plans and hopes of DR..
J. A. Client, of Seattle, fail, the
state of Washington will soon have
a state sanatorium for the treatment
and cure of tuberculosis.
I have drafted bill which
shall introduce just as soon as the
Legislature convenes which has for its
object the construction of a free tu-
berculosis sanatorium,' states DR..
Client, who is a member of the legis-
lature. ''On every hand | have met
with the greatest encouragement and
| firmly believe the appropriation of
$3.50, 200 which the bill calls for will
be passed. 1t will be known as the
Washington tuberculosis Sanatori-
um and We hope to care for and cure
as many INDECENT tubercular patients
as We can. Tile board of trustees
will be made up of five members to
be appointed by the governor and
two of the members of the board
must be regularly practicing physi-
clans. We will buy a 30-acre tract
of land, the cost not to be more than
SIS, 1000. The rest of the money will
be devoted to the erection of suit
able buildings and maintaining the
institution.
Il am also interested in another
measure that / will introduce, and
that is bill providing for reciprocity

animation.

AFRAID To COME
down TOWN
FORMER CHIEF OF POLICE SAYS
THAT HE WILL WAIT UNTIL
HE CAN WEAR ANOTHER STAR
BEFORE MAKING TRIP.

Former Chief of Police Ferguson,
who has been elected sheriff of the
county, and who Tuesday night relin-
quished his duties as chief of police
to n. Inscho, was not down town yes
terday nor today, and it is reported
that he has made the assertion that
he would not come down town again
until he was allowed to wear a star.
Chief Inscho called him up this after
noon at his home and stated that If
he wanted to come down very badly
that he would detail policeman to
escort him over the city, and this is
likely to be the arrangement MADE
to allow of Mr.. Ferguson coming
down town.

TRIAL MARRIAGES" IN RUSSIA.
It will be remembered that the

TRIAL MARRIAGES" IN RUSSIA.
It will be remembered that the
first suggestion of temporary con-
tract marriages, or marriages ex-
pressly limited to ten-year terms,
came from that bold radical and dis
ciple of "the comic spirit" George
Meredith. Some of his admirers
were shocked, while others regarded
the idea as at least semi-humorous
in conception and intended effect.
But the writer of short stories saw
possibilities, artistically speaking,
in it, and two or three attempted
to depict the misery, the injustice,
the cruel misunderstanding that
trial marriages or limited, renewable
unions would entail. Later an Amer
lean woman, an educator and student
of sociology. in an elaborate text
book on the family. threw otu the
hint that in the future one solution
for the evil of hasty. ill-consiiered
unions and equally hasty divorces
may be sought in trial marriages.
That hint raised veritable storm
of criticism and censure. Now, Curl
ously enough, it is at national con-
gress of Russian women. the first OF
the kind ever held In the cars en-
pire, that experimental marriages are
seriously proposed and defended.
Several delegates, 1t is reported by
cable, argued that the union for life
is often immoral" and the cause OF
deceit. sin and unhappiness. Mar
riages should be tried in the inter-

The boat service on the river has
been temporarily suspended. There
is too much ice to allow of naviga-

be some weeks, daily stages will

THREE PRISONERS
GIVEN RESPITES

LATINO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
MUST FIRST ACT.

Special to The Herald
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 21.-Gov-
ernor Patterson today granted respites
to William Mitchell of Rutherford
county, Virgil Lee of Wayne county
and Cecil Palmer of Wilson county.
Mitchell was under sentence to hang
at Murfreesboro tomorrow, May %,
Lee to hang May % and Palmer to
hang June 8. This is the second
respite granted in the Mitchell and
Palmer cases. Under the orders OF
the Governor issued today, each Of
these men has been respited until
Thursday, August 5. The action of
the Governor in these cases settles
until the Supreme Court can act, an
interesting question. The respites are
necessitated because unsettled ques-
tion whether two of these prisoners
sentenced under the old law to hang
in the county jails can be legally
hanged in the state penitentiary as
the law passed at the present session
Of the legislature required. It seems
that the matter must wait until legal

DR.. Litterer told of the care taken
by the state of the insane, and said
while comparatively few of the in.
mates of the asylums were dangerous,
every person afflicted with tuberculosis
was a grave menace to every one with
whom he came in contact. So much
greater the reason therefore, he said,
why society should be protected from
sufferers from tuberculosis. DR.. Lit
terer said that 1t had been proven that
tuberculosis was non-hereditary, but
was absolutely contagious. He urged
first state control, then the registra-
ton of all patients, followed by segre-
cation in sanitariums where the open
air-policy would in many instances
produce cures.
Following Dr. Litterer's address the
meeting was thrown open, and the
first speaker was w. ]. Webster, Esq.
of Columbia, who delivered a sensi-
BILE and Illuminating talk. Mr.. Web
ster told of his experience in the cat
tie business and how from his observa-
ton he had found that when healthy
calf was placed with a tubercular COW,
the calf soon become affected with the
disease. This led to the discussion of
the dissemination of tuberculosis from
cattle diseased with tuberculosis to
users of the milk and butter and the
care municipalities should use to pre-
vent the sale of milk and butter from
affected cattle.
