John Carsten Drowned in the Columbia
John Carsten, we'll known here,
where he worked for the Lamb-Davis
Lumber Co. ever since the company
began operations, was drowned in the
Rock Island rapids last Tuesday, ac-
cording to story published in the
Wenatchee World of Wednesday. He
left here Monday morning with his son,
a lad about fifteen years old, in a boat
fourteen feet long and four feet wide,
which he launched just below the dam,
intending to go down the Wenatchee
river to its junction with the Columbia
and down that river to point near
Beverly, where he owns a ranch near
the postoffice Of Low Gap. He reached
Wenatchee Monday night about nine
o'clock safe and sound, so he phoned
to one of his friends here. The follow
ing day he started down the Columbia
and when he reached the rapids, think
ing it would be safer to go alone, he
put the boy out, giving him his purse
and two guns, with instructions to
walk around the rapids. In going thru
the rapids, which have always been
considered extremely dangerous on ac-
count of the many submerged rocks,
his boat was overturned and Carsten
thrown into the water. His son saw
the danger his father was in and ran to
a nearby ranch for assistance. A boat
was procured as quickly as possible,
but when the location where the boat
was overturned was reached nothing
could be seen of Carsten, and the be-
lief is held that he was added to the
long list of victims which the Column
bia has claimed in the past.
Mr.. Carsten was an experienced
river man, having spent all his life, or
more than twenty years, on the Missis-
sippi river. While employed by the
lumber company here he received an
offer from the contractors to take
charge of all the river work on the
Milwaukee railroad bridge across the
Columbia at Beverly, at salary of
$50 per month. He worked there
until the bridge was completed and
then came back to work for the lum-
Der company. He was on his way to
his family, holding down homestead
at Low Gap. There is possibility
that he got out of the river and made
his way home, so those who knew him
say, as he was an expert swimmer and
perfectly at home in the water, but
this can scarcely be hoped as the water
is very cold and swift with andercur-
rents that make swimming almost i'm
possible. The writer knew Mr.. Cars
ten quite we'll and found him of the
best stuff of which good men are made.

PatrICk's F0rCefuI Plea For
 Liberty or Death WANTS NO CONTINUATION
Declares That He Asked For None, Governor Had No Right to Issue One and He IS the Victim of a Con- spiracy.

New York, March 5.-Declaring that death in the electric chair is less terri flying than life imprisonment. and ask ing the court to either grant him lib erty or disregard the communication of sentence and send him to death, Albert T. Patrick, who was sentenced to cleo trocutiOn for the murder of William Marsh Rice in September, 1905, ar gued nearly four hours today for his liberty before the appellate division of the supreme court of Brooklyn
 The principal points of his conten- ton were that his conviction was the result of a colossal conspiracy on the part of the justice at his trial, and the authorities who prosecuted him." and that Governor Higgins had no legal right to commute the sentence to life as he had not asked for or consented to such a communication Decision was reserved.
 The scene in the court while the condemned man pleaded his cause with all the mental agility and fervor of a trained lawyer. was sensational. As sistant District Attorney Taylor, in reply. said that Patrick should either accept the sentence of life imprison- ment, or if he did not accept it, the only thing to do vas to electrocute him.

HE JURY BOX FULL IN THE CALHOUN CASE
But the Peremptory Challenges Are Yet to Be Exercised.

San Francisco, March 5-For the third time during a period of four weeks twelve men have been accepted in the case of Patrick Calhoun. Dur ing a period of two hours today the opposing attorneys accomplished more in actual progress than has resulted in the proceeding fortnight. John R. Allen. a dry goods salesman, the thir- teenth talesman, was subjected to an examination and accepted. Just after he passed, John T. Costello, an insur- ance broker, addressed the court and declared that his business interests would be altogether destroyed if he were required to attend the session of the court for period of two months. The judge ordered him excused.
 Just at the hour of adjournment the place vacated by Costello was filled by James L. Arthur, a builder. Robert B. Bennington, the tenth juror arose to acquaint the attorneys with the fact that one of the attorneys who represents the United Railroads in civil litigation was counsel for a cor poration from which Bennington de- rives the greater part of his Income. The scruples of the juror were lightly regarded and he was retained. Judge Lawlor fixed next Monday as the time for the exercise of peremptory chal- lenges. It Is generally agreed that an effort will be made on Monday to dis lodge one or more jurors for cause and that the peremptory challenges will be deferred.

TARIFF BILL IS FRAMED
Message to Congress Will Suggest That the Work of the Special Session Be Confined to the Tariff Legislation.

Washington, D. C., March 5.-The Taft administration took its first stride today The president named his cabi- net, the senate confirmed his selections and its members will take the oath of office tomorrow, with the exception of Nickersham, who --as sworn in today. and Dickinson and MacVeagh, whose personal affairs will not permit them to reach Washington for a week
 Taft and the republican members of the ways and means committee held an important conference during the day. The committee has framed tariff bill, which it is undersood con tains a provision for an inheritance tax, one of the suggestions for raising revenue contained in the inaugural ad- dress. Taft told the committee there would be no delay in the official proc lamation calling an extra session of congress to convene March Is. His message. he said, would recommend that it cOnfine it's work exclusively to tariff revision that there might be no unnecessary delay in enacting d law.
 Taft gave himself up heartily to the demands of his friends, and thousands of inaugural visitors who wished to shake hands with him. Philander C.. Knox was the first caller at the White House Governor Hughes of New York, Governor Prouty Of Vermont and the senators and representatives of those states next had the ear of the presi- dent and gained his consent to attend the celebration July and next, of the discovery of Lake Champlain, at Plattsburg and Burlington. The con- gratulations and good wishes of Cuba were extended in the form of a memo rial presented by Gen. Demetrio Cas- tillo Duan-', who came to the United States for that purpose.

REMEDIAL LEGISLATION.
How a Legislative Reporter Was Re.
 stored to His Own.

The first act of the council in the morning session was to restore R. M. Dawson, the correspondent of the Globe Silver Belt, to citizenship. This remedial legislation followed the read ing of a letter from MT. Dawson to President Hunt regarding the pubIica- tion of an article in the Silver Belt which resulted in the correspondents repatriation. The letter enclosed one from the Silver Belt in which 1t was stated that that paper tomorrow would print a correction of an erroneous statement that the president and other members of the council had been in a certain conference in a room on the third floor of the Fleming building, whereas such conference had really taken place in a room on the second floor
 It was deemed, in a motion by MT. O'Neill, that this communication had put Mir. Dawson again lin the white" " and that the restrictions on his move ments about the capitol building be hereby removed. The motion was unanimously adopted.
 Mir. Morton introduced a bill author izing the board of control to reconvey to the town in Yuma the territorial prison site and to sell property there on. This ground was conveyed to the territory in 1876. The bill was passed under a suspension of the rules.
 MT. Finley introduced a bill amend ing the butchers license law only to the extent that licences may be issued from, month to month instead of from year to year.
 The O'Neill vital statistics bill was passed and so was Bailey's house bill requiring that applications for insur- ance shall be attached to the policy.
 Mir. DeSouza's bill in relation to pub lie libraries was put on final passage, but MT Goodrich obJecting to several of its provisions, it was referred to the judiciary committee.
 MT. O'Neilrs bill providing for the purchase Of Mrs. M. J. Brenninger's natural history collection, which had reached the third reading. provoked an extended discussion. The bill appro- propriates $3,000 for an ornithological collection embracing the birds of Ari- zona and many of the rarest of the western continent. MT. Goodrich ob- iected on the ground that it was known only that the council was proposing to buy a lot of feathers. They might be worth 1t, but it was the business of the council to find out.

 IN THE WILD EAST
Something That Would Hardly Hap pen in the Wild West.

Washington, March 5.-Capt. W. H. Matthews of the fifth police precinct in this city. was shot and killed while sitting at his desk in the station house tonight, by Policeman Collier.

Collier, it is said, had been reprimanded by Capt. Matthews for a breach of the rules. This angered him. The police say they know of no other reason for Golfers action. He was arrested.

THE INSTALLATIONS
By Which the Segregation Bill Was
 Passed

But the qualifica tions bill did not constitute the sum of the troubles of the caucus. For sometime it was more than noised about that the two anti-secretary bills, the one trans ferring the insurance fees and the other abOlishing the assistant. both beloved caucus measures, were in danger in the house where Messrs. Sutter and Bourne were throwing things in their way. Also there was trouble about the segregation bill and a call was sent out for the caucus. MT. St. Charles alone of the council members of that holy al- lianee failed to respond. He said that so many caucus pledges had been broken that in his opinion that organization had ceased to exist. Moreover, he could not recognize any action upon the segregation bill as caucus measure.
 The night before the democratic leaders of the two houses had reach ed the main point of an agreement and that was that they were to agree, the terms decided upon after wards. Those terms were completed ieANti HI q Oiit-St0tu IHt house conferees surrendered every point and the council con- ferees agreed to a formal recession from the council amendments, but those same amendments were offer ed in the joint report to the bill. Thus the face of the house was saved.
 The amendments provided for the holding of local option elections in towns and precincts on a petition signed by twenty-five per cent of the voters therein. The objectionable re- quirement that city councils should join in the petition was dropped out, as was every other provision to which the council had objected. The also reduce the period of residence of voters from six to three months.
 The roll call on the adoption of the report was awaited with inter est, but the opponents of the bill were unable to muster their expect ed strength. The vote resulted as follows:
 Ayes, Bailey, Bray, Bourne, Duffy, | Hall, Hightower, Hogwood. Morris. Reed, Roberts. Shaw, | Sutter, Tobey. the speaker-15.
 Nays, Coalter, De SouZa, Doan, | Merrill. Moore. Pace, Peter | son, WoOlf-9.

 Ayes, Morgan, Burns, Hampton, | Norton, Finley, Weedin, the presi- ! 1ent-7.
 Nays, Breen, Day, Goodrich, St. Charles and O'Neill-5. MT. Hunt | mad previously voted against the bill.

HORRORS! FREAR
ON FOREIGN BOAT! !.
Governor Is Fastening Home on
Tenyo Maru Of Japanese
Steamship Line.

Governor Frear, in his haste to re.
turn to the Hawaiian capitol and his
desk therein, has induced the Togo
Kisen Kaisha Steamship Company to
violate the coastwise shipping law and
carry him to an American port. This
act may possibly be condoned by the
department of commerce and labor, if
the Governor cares to take the trouble
to explain that duty called him and he
had to come. But at any rate he has
broken the law and must pay fine
of 5000 for travelling on boat that
did not fly the "star spangled banner
If the 5000 is restored to him later, it
will be as an act of clemency to law
breaker.
The information that the Governor
is to arrive on Japanese liner was
received yesterday morning by Acting.
Governor Mott.Smith by cable from
Frear stating that he would sail today
on the Tenyo Maru from San Francisco.
This will bring him to Honolulu on
January ., which is next Sunday,
