CRIMINALS MAY ESCAPE
New Jury Law May Offer Loop Hole
For Hamilton and Others
Charged With Crime

There is a possibility that former
Adjutant General Ortis Hamilton
and a number of others charged with
crime to be tried in the near future
after the new jury law goes into
force on the 10Th of June next have
a technical loop hole through which
they may escape to freedom whether
they be guilty of innocent, is the
opinion of number Of prominent at
torneys of this city and state, says
the Olympia Recorder. Therefore
the question Of the possible effect
of the new jury system on the per-
sons charged with crime alleged to
have been committed prior to the
passage of the law that goes into
effect next month is an especially in
teresting question at that time.
The new law, which will control
the empaneling Of jurors after June
10, provides that the judge of the
superior court shall divide the
county in which his court is held into

the single pieces are several com BIZ
nation sets one of which consists of
a laboratory table with attachments
for nearly all the accessories needed
for teaching mechanics.
Varied courses in basketry win be
given. These include reed, raffia ana
willow work in great variety. Other
courses in manual training may be
given if demands of teachers in at
tendance require them.
Cost of material is the only ex-
pense involved in any of the manual
training courses and the student be-
comes the owner of what he makes
1t is not unusual for students to make
for themselves articles of a value
far in evcess of the cost to them
Of the entire summer session. In
some instances school boards have
sent teachers to the summer session
securing in return laboratory equip
ment of much greater value than
the expense incurred.
Prof. Roberts, who has charge of
all the above work, has had wonder
full success in this work. Undoubted-
ly he has no superior in the state in
this line.

Local Option at KalispelI.

The long promised local option
for Flathead county, Mont, has been
filed with the clerk of the board of
county commissioners. The paper
contained more than 1900 signatur-
es, about 600 in excess of the re-
quirement, according to the tax roll
and the last registration. The petit
ton prays for special election to be

ARE SELLING MANY BAGS

Quantities

The board of control of the state
of Washington has met with such
great success in disposing of grain
bags, he output of the mills of the
state penitentiary that fears express
ed iii The past that the market might
be o9er supplied have been virtually
done away with and the board in
tends to follow the markets moro
closely and put large quantities Of
jdte IN the market this fall for This
purpose.
Warden c. S. Reed and State
Clerk Walter McCallam have found
that the grain bags when sold at a
fiat rate, as the plan as adopted by
the aoard of control last year the
prison authorities have met with tie
hearty support of the farmers, who
are only too glad to engage the bass
ahead. They also find that the farm
ers are demanding a better grade of
bag, mplaining that the poorer

and are therefore not satisfactory.
The demand for bags is constantly
increasing and while the board of
control found that they had a surplus
of sacks last spring, with the pros
poets of an enormous wheat crop
this year, such conditions are not
likely to be repeated in the future.
Work on the new jUte mill at the
peniten:iary is progressing at a rapid
rate and ii is thought that it will be
ready for use this fall. The capacity
of the mill will be many times great
err than the present capacity and it
is thought that the demand for bags
this fall will only add to the vast

a, least three jury districts, and not
more than six Jury districts, and
that on the first day OF July OF each
year the clerk OF the court shall
make out the jury list for the sew
eral districts in his county. This
provision makes from June 10 to
July time when there will be no
way of securing jury, the new
law having superseded the old one,
and yet, July l not having arrived,
there will be no one authorized to
.empanel a jury.
In lnurston county, for instance,
it is cited the regular jury is called
for June S, and it should SO happen
that there are not II men ON the
panel who are eligible to try the
Hamilton charge after June 10, there
would be no way TO draw another
yenire, and the case would probably
be dismissed or set over until July.
1t is believed it will be difficult to
secure jury in the Hamilton case,
owing to the extensive publicity Civ
en- the case and the general forming
of opinions as to guilt or innocence
If such a case be set over until
July some say mat constitutional
technicality of an ex post facto law
can be brought up, and, inasmuch as
the new jury law was passed after
the crimes were alleged to have been
committed, they could not be tried
under the new system. And while it
lis not generally thought among the
attorneys of this city that the su-
preme court OF the United States
would coustrue the law to remove
all criminal prosecution for crimes
committed before the law was passed,
the idea of a case being carried to
the federal supreme court is consid-
cred a serious case.
There are number of criminal
cases in this county awaiting trial
but the charge against Ortis Hamil-
ton is receiving the greatest atten-
ton and considerable speculation as
to what the probable results with
him viii be if the new jury law is de-
clared an eX post facto law as far as
he is concerned and would let him
go free from all possibility of prose
eution on any of the offenses that it
lis alleged he viii be charged with.

FARMER SHOOTS NErGHBoR
jackson Prairie Pioneer Shot in Quar-
rel Over q Rope

Last night Joe Ware, a pioneer
farmer living on Jackson prairie,
twelve miles southeast of Chehalis.
shot and killed J. M, Corp, a nearby
neighbor, following a dispute over a
picket rope which Ware accused
Corps l0-year-old son of stealing.
According to the story, which Ware
verified this morning, he went over
to the Corp home about S:15 o'clock,
on horseback. The Corp boy was
playing in front of the house. Ware
accused the lad of having taken his
picket rope. The child denied the
charge. An older brother and an
older sister overheard the converse
ton. MIR. Corp was lying on lounge
in the house when he heard the trou-
hle outside. He went out to see
what was the matter. He was drawn
INTO the dispute, and soon started
TO climb over the fence in order to
reach Ware, who still sat on his
torse. The latter pulled his pistol.
Corp saw Ware drawing the gun and
remarked: SO you are going to use
yolr shooting iron, are you?"
At this Ware fired, the bullet
from 3S-calibre, short-barreled
pistol striking Corp directly over the
right eyebrow and entering his head,
Killing him instantly. But one shot
was fired, and the explosion of the
glI frightened Wares horse, which
started for home, less than half a
mile away. Ware was seen to enter
the lane leading to his barn.
Later in the night, when Sheriff
UrQuhart called for him, Ware had
apparently been in bed. He dressed
without offering any resistance and
accompanied the sheriff back to town.
He stated that he had expected to
come in this morning and give him
self up.
Coroner Charles l.. Stricklin was
summoned from Centralia as soon az
word of The shooting reached Chehal-
is. At about / o'clock this morning
he went to the scene of the tragedy.
Joe Ware has been a resident of
Lewis county for many years. His
wife is one of a pioneer family in
Washington. The scene of the kill
ing is almost in the shadow of the
h storic Jackson prairie court house
which was the first court house in
The territory of Washington. The
Wares have no children.
Mr.. Corp is survived by widow
and large family of children, some
of whom are of age. He had lived in
Lewis county for several years. He
belonged to the w. o. w. camp at
Cnehalis, and in addition to his frat
ernal insurance leaves his family well
provided for. Mr. Corp came to this
couhty from King county.
Up TO last night Mrs. Corp and her
family had been on the best Of terms
with II Wares and the Corp child
rem called Mr.. Ware by the familiar
title of Uncle Joe. Mrs. Corp said
that hen help was needed at her
home in case of sickness or trouble
she always went directly to the
| Wares.

REGENT BARNARD REPLIES
Treasurer of Board OF Regents of
Washington State College
Gives Facts

Frank j. Barnard, treasurer of the
board of regents of Washington State
College, located at Pullman, has writ
ten vigorous reply to the attacks
made on him and the college by the
Post-Intelligencer and the Daily
Times, of Seattle, Regent Barnard s
letter was published in the Times
and is here given in full. He says:
Deposits of funds given by Fed
eral grant to the Washington State
College at Pullman have earned in
interest during the past two years
the sum of $S30.57. Deducting the
annual premium of 5000 on the
treasurer's bond, paid by the order
of the regents from the interest on
Federal appropriations and there re-
mains the magnificent total of $780,
81 in the First National Bank of
Pullman, to my credit as treasurer of
the college, and about which all this
fuss has been kicked up.
Now, that $630.57 is not going to
evaporate, nor is anyone going to
steal it, or misappropriate it, or do
anything but what is right with it,
namely, apply it to some purpose
for the benefit of Washington State
College and for the cause of educa-
ton represented by that institution
and which is doing a great work for
the youth of this state.
No Crime Committed
LAS a matter of fact, no crime has
been committed by anyone connected
with the State College, said Barn
ard; there has been no irregularity
in connection with the administra-
tion of the finances of the college;
the books are open to public inspec-
ton at all times, and the board Of
regents has authorized everything
done by myself as treasurer.
THE interest was credited to me
by the bank only on Federal deposits
that is, of deposits of money COM
ing to the college annuauy by Fed
eral grant. There never has been a
cent of interest credited to me- or
to anyone else connected with the
State College or state appropriations,
because the state treasurer has not
deposited any of the state appropria-
tions with the First National Bank
at Pullman.
Before the new rule was inaugu-
rated the Federal funds on deposit
earned nothing for the college. The
board believed the deposits could be
made to produce a revenue which
could well be applied for scholarships
or some other laudable and honor
able purpose.
The published list of stockholders
of the bank at Pullman who are
teachers in the college is incorrect.
Several Of those whose names We're
given have left the college long ago.
For instance, Miss Edith McDermott,
published as head of the domestic
science department, has been married
for some time and has quit the col
Ilege. do not see any crime IN any
college professor saving his or her
money and investing it in good bank
stock,
"The fact that | am and have long
been an agent of the American Book
Company, considered everywhere an
honorable and reputable publishing
house, has nothing to do with the
case"
