WON'T TESTIFY:
STAYS IN JAIL
Kansas Attorney Remains in Cell
Half Year for Principle--Will
Try to Exhaust Courts Endur-
ance on Contempt Question.

TOPEKA, Kans., March 14.-John
f. Hanson an attorney of Mcpherson
county, rather than answer n ques-
tion in the probate court of that
county because he believes it was i'm
proper, has served eight months in
jail and may serve a longer time uu-
less the supreme court of the United
States steps in and orders hi release.
Hanson Is a member of an ancient
class of body of SWedes known in
Weden as "Delarne." The members
Of this class led all the fight for
Swedish freedom and even now no
member ever removes his hat in the
presence of the king. For centuries
those of the tribe of Dalarne fought
against tyranny ana oppression.
John Hanson believes it is tyranny
TO compel him to answer questions
which he does not think are proper
for him to answer. and he would
rather stay in Jail all of his natural
life than answer.
Hanson is the ATTORNEY for the ad-
ministration of the estate of Hannah
Linderholm. a rich woman who died
III Mc1 ueISoH county ABOUT TWO years
ago. There are many claims against
the estate and Hanson has been fight
ing them through the probate court.
Guards Clients Interests.
One day he was called as a witness
by ono OF the claimants. The attorney
for the claimant asked Hanson if he
had any books or papers of the cs-
tate in his possession. Hanson de-
clined to answer the question on the
ground that as the attorney for the
administrator. he might have in his
possession papers and other informa-
tion of special, value to his client and
that he ought not to give them up
for the benefit of claimants against
the estate.
The court ruled that Hanson should
not embarrass the court by refusing
to answer the question. but he should
do everything in his power to help
the court get at the facts and de-
termine whether or not tho claim
made against the estate was just.
Hansen was ordered to answer the
question. He refused, because he he
lieved it would be betraying his eli
ent's business to do so. The court then
fined Hanson for contempt of the orde"
to answer the question.
Hanson refused to pay the fine and
the judge then instructed the sheriff 20

MUCH MONEY FOR SPRAYING
Yakima Fruit Growers Are Buy
ing the Power Outfits and
Discarding Hand Pumps.

Incidental to their general business,
Messrs. Morgan & Mckaig have this
year disposed of $4,000 worth of
power spraying outfits. And this IS
a news item for intelligent readers
who desire to be posted on what is
going on in this community. 1t is al
together probable that the aggregate
of spraying outfits sold by al, the
dealers of this city would be very
large indeed. That of the firm m ~
toned already reaches total of fifty
with as many more likely to be taken
before the season advances much
farther. The reason for this is that
a carload of gasoline engines used on
the power sprayers, there being some
so engines in the ear, is expected in
North Yakima today. These have
been on, the way from Michigan since
February 8, but track and weather
conditions have detained them.
Big Demand on Coast.
1t is possible that the engines will
not be allowed to remain in North
Yakima. Because of the demand in
the western country at this time for
such outfits they are to be offered to
prospective buyers for but limited
time and then, under orders from the
manufacturers, who would sell them
only on that basis, are to be sent
forward to Portland for distribution
to sections which are demanding
them.
Figuring a complete outfit at $32h
and with fifty outfits actually deliv-
cred this spring, some 90 last fall and
H.
ing on the delivery of the engines
expected today, it will readily be seen
that the figures given above by the
Herald as to money expended are well
within the requirements of veracity.
Means Advanced Methods.
An expert could figure out readily
enough, in all probability, what eX-
tent of orchard could be Sprayed
in the season devoted to that work,
by three horse power outfit of the
kind most liked. and the statisticfan
might be Interested in knowing the
total of the aggregate of the horse
power Of the county. The average citi-
zen Will certainly be interested in
knowing that the old method of hand
spraying, more or less careleSSly done,
is giving way to the better work of
the power sprayer which enables the
use of more nozzles and gives the re-
suits the scientists have been saying
should be attained! The fact of the
disposal of so many outfits is suf-
ficient indication that the bulk of the
hortieulturists propose to go after
their work in the most modern man
ner that they may produce the best
fruit.

II hav'nt heard" said Toppenish
man in North Yakima on Friday
much about this proposal to unite
North Yakima in the coming election
so that all the county officials may be
from below Union gap. / hav'nt
heard, l say, much about that but
have heard q great deal about another
phase of the same subject. 1 have
heard that all the leading people of
the lower valley are prepared to unite
either on a lower Yakima or n Ben
ton county man for state senator. And
it amounts to the same thing.
Want County Division.
what l mean by saying that it
amounts to the same thing is this. A
senator from the lower end of Yak
ina or from Benton county will vote
in favor of division of Yakima county
and that is all they care snap about.
They insist that the time has come
when they can no longer afford to
be a part of Yakima. Taxation, they
say, has gone beyond endurance and
they believe that the city of North
Yakima and it's conduct of county
affairs is responsible. The movem ent
to combine the lower valley against
North Yakima in the selection of
county officers comes from those who
are anxious to have the county
divided but who are DESTROYS of so
arranging the conditions that the
first move will come from this city.
Good Chance to Win.
"Those who are prepared to vote
against North Yakima man for
senator are those who do not care a
rap who starts the game SO long as
they get away from a set of conditions
they are not prepared to stand for.
And between us they can win out eth
err way If they try hard enough"

SEEK MONEY OF
LUCKY" BALDWIN
Boston Girl Claims to Be His
Daughter and Entitled to
Many Millions.

Los ANGELES, March 12.--Pre-
paratory to an attack upon the $685.
100000 estate of the late +. j. Bald
win, Lucky Baldwin," who died Il
year ago, a petition was filed in the
probate court today, asking that a
guardian be appointed for Beatrice
Anita Baldwin, otherwise known as
Beatrice Anita Turnbull who is de-
clared to be the daughter of Bald
win and Lillian J. Ashly. The petition
recites that the girl sis minor and
will have property consisting of one
third the estate of the late Il. j. Bald
win, provided that before the compu-
tation is made there should be de-
Quoted one third thereof to which the
widow would have been entitled had
Baldwin died intestate. This would
make the share claimed by the pc
titioner about 100000 or $1,000
900.
Is Issue of Void Marriage
The petition goes on to state that
Miss Baldwin is the legitimate issue
of Baldwin and her mother Lillian
J. Ashley who since has married one
Turnbull. She is issue of void mar
riage. Baldwin's legitimate issue ac-
cording to the petition is Miss Bald
win and her half sisters, Clara Bald
win Stocker, OF Arcadia and Anita
Baldwin McClaughrey of Berkeley,
Cal. The petition disputes the valid
ity Of the will on all grounds.
The basis of the claim in behalf
of the petitioner is an alleged COM
mon-law marriage of Baldwin and
Miss Ashley. That marriage it is
acknowledged. has since become void,
but the contestants are relying on the
statute that all children of q void
marriage are legitimate. The girl,
who is II years old is attending a
schol at Boston where her mother
resides.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
final fight for the dissolution of the

began today before the federal SUI
prcmc court whittier il has come on
an appeal fro mthe decree Of the cir

Missouri dssolving the Standard Oh;

spoke for three hours in the COM

Growth OF Standard OIL.
The greater part of Milburns adj
dress consisted Of a review of the
growth of the Standard Oil company.
He attempted to lay the foundation
for the claim that corporations en-
tering into reorganization Of the
Standard In 1899. were non-competi-
tive because for many years they had
been under so-called common owner
ship. Toward the close of the day
he discussed the Sherman Antitrust
act and after a discussion of general
monopoly he reverted to the alleged
monopolstic conduct Of Standard OIL.
Milburn said he did not believe the
corporation was in restraint of trade
in view of common ownership. 1t
had never restrained the liberties or
MI 0f xUhn int
it nor any one who was its COMPETE
tor. he asserted. Instead of being a
monopoly, Milburn urged the amount
of business the Standard OIL was 10
ing was decreasing.
Not Monopoly.
In speaking of the charge OF mon
opolistic conduct as alleged to have
been shown by transportation dis
elimination he declared the idea that
the railroads throughout the country
would discriminate in favor of bust
ness that afforded only one half OF
one per cent of the total traffic is pre-
posterous. He said the governments
claims of tremendous discrimination
in favor Of Standard Oil refining
points and against Independent rein

AS to the charge that Standard Oil
