BRIBERY CASE IS
FARCE
State Attorney Now Has
Two Witness Tamperers
in Browne Case.

Chicago, Aug. Estates Attor-
ney Wayman admitted today he had
two of the alleged investigators who

in the Lee O'Neill Browne case. The
names are Adolph CHATTER and Fred
| l.. Barker 1t is charged that they
are operatives of a private detective
agency which has 100 men at work
| for Browne. Wayman did not say
what action if any he concentrates

| bers of the seventh panel, when
brought into court today, said that
their families had been questioned
concerning themselves and they
! were dismissed.
Judge Kersten, in whose court
Lee O'Neil Browne is being retired
on a charge of buying votes for Sen
ator Lorimer, was compelled to dis
miss six more. veniremen today.
This makes Ill veniremen dismiss
ed from the last three panels on
their own statements that they had
been approached with referenda
to their possible service as jurors.

Il do not take sides, but some one

The courts remarks were address

WILL Be 800 CARS
Of J0NATHANS
Conrad Rose Believes This
Variety Alone Will Pro
duce $4,000.

Jonathan apples will commence to
move east about the middle of Sep
TENDER, according to Conrad Rose, of
the Wenatchee Produce company.
This variety, the same as the rest
of the fruit in the Wenatchee valley
this year, will mature a week or ten
days earlier than usual, owing to the
climatic conditions. Some of the
Jonathans will be picked the latter
part of this month for the Australian
and Alaskan trade, but the great bulk
will not be moved until about the
middle of next month.
Mr.. Rose states that he expects
Jonathans will be handled at about
81 per box, though it is possible they
will bring more when the time comes
to move them. At 81 box this
would bring into the valley $780,
600 from the Jonathan variety alone.
The type of apple this year will be
very large and of fine quality and
already the Jonathans are beginning
to color nicely.

Senator Anderson, president of the

Yakima and in reference to the work
which is to be done
Hickey Rapids is one of the hard

than it has ever been before

NO C[EW LEFT BY
EX-PR|SONERS
Fleeing From Justice the
Jail Beakers Are Still
at Large.

Where are the three men who es-
No clue has yet been discovered
Various theories are being advanced
as to the probable whereabouts OF
the fleeing eX-prisoners. The first
thought of the police yesterday was
that they must have gone on a
| freight train which pulled out of
the yards for the west shortly after
the jail delivery.
Deputy Sheriff Kenyon is of the
opinion that they made for the hills
as did Prince Atkinson who stayed
up there for a month last year and
then got to the outer world where
he was at large for a year. His
friends carried supplies up to him
| on pack horses going past Cashmere
and up through Brender Canyon to
the Hog Back to the head of No.
Canyon.
Clayt Penrose knows this country
like a book and it will be no trick
for him to keep in hiding for an in
definite period Bert Adams, the
highway robber, is not so we'll post
ed about the hills and valleys. He
will probably stick to Penrose until
out of this section, but he will then
go it alone when Clayt can be of no
further service to him. He is said
to be a cold-blooded criminal
Oscar Smith. the dope fiend, will
undoubtedly fall by the wayside
within twenty-four hours if he at
tempted to make his escape with the
other men. He is so far gone from
| the effects of drugs that without
them he will soon collapse. He goes
into fits which become more and
more violent until the cocaine is ad-
ministered. The police had trouble
to keep him alive during the last
few days of his. incarceration.
Within Two hours after the escape
yesterday morning, the authorities
| in all directions had been advised
| by wire. Word has come from Ell
| lensburg already that men have been
set to watch every road and trail in
| that direction.
Every freight train has been
searched which has passed through
this city since midnight last night
The men could not have gone beyond
Leavenworth Or Wilson Creek on
any freight.
II the men should not be appre-
hended, the county would be saved
about $4,000 costs in prosecuting
| them, but every effort will be made
to give justice her rightful claims
upon these men. Of course, If they
should come to trial and be convict
ed, the county would be reimbursed
by the state for the costs of prose
! cution.

.SP ARR|NG CONTEST
TAb00EO
Kemp and Kenyon Serve
Notice on Boxers For
bidding Fight.

Posters were spread throughout
the city day before yesterday adver-
Using an eight round boxing contest
between Monte and Jim West, the
time and place to be this evening out
side the city limits on West Palouse
street. Chester Levere was an
nounced as referee. The bout was
to run eight rounds of three min
utes each. The men went to Prose-
cutting Attorney Kemp several days
ago and asked what his position
would be. He states that he did not
commit himself but would investi-
gate what kind of a contest it was
proposed to hold. Monte said today
that the attorney agreed to protect
them provided there be no slug
ging"
This afternoon Attorney Kemp
and Deputy Sheriff Kenyon served
notice on Monte that under no cir
cumstances would the fight be al
lowed as advertised. The peace Of
ficer stated that he would be on hand
to prevent any kind of a fstic en-
Ecounter
Late this afternoon Monte was
asked by a World reporter what
course he and West would take. He
was unable to say other than that the
two would meet shortly and decide
upon some course. He intimated
that if the fight could not take place
in Chelan county they might go
across the river.
Considerable disappointment is
expressed among the ''pugs' that the
law has been invoked to stop the
sport. Both the men are in trained
condition, especially West. Eight
rounds would be sufficient to exhibit
the respective qualities of endurance.
The promoters of the fight an
nounced this afternoon that in view
of the action of the authorities the
fight has been declared off.

1872 S|GNERS To
WET PETITION
Charles Becker Expects to
Secure Total of $50
Names.

The petition for re-submission OF
the local option question at the next
general election now has 1872 sigma
lures attached. The document is in
charge of Charles Becker, a real es-
tate dealer. He states that he has
been unable to give the work much
time or attention, but thus far has
only gone where he knew signatures
awaited his arrival within the bust
ness district. He is quite certain
that $50 names will be secured with
out any special effort. Two hundred
and firty-two is the required num-
Der, according to law-that is, thir-
ty per cent of the voters at the last
general election, but Mr.. Becker says
that he wants at least $50 signatures
in case some of the signers should
fair to register.

BIC Railroad STRIKE
IS NOW PREDICTED
$4,000 Employees of Western Roads May Quit Work This
Fall-Woud Involve 62 Lines = Increase in Wages
and 8Hour Day to Constitute the Leading Demands
Meeting in St. Paul Being Held Now.

Spokane, Aug. 19.-Following the
failure last winter of the switchmen
of the transcontinental railroads
running out of Chicago to obtain
their desired raise in wages, it is
said owing to the lack of co-opera-
ton of other railroad employees
there probably will be a more ser.
ious strike on the western roads in
the fall by practically all of the en-
playes, more than 10000, unless all
of the roads acquiesce in the de-
mands for an increase of the en-
playes of the freight and passenger
service of the lines.
All told, there will be 62 roads
affected, and the increase asked will
be Is per cent for the freight con-
ductors, the brakemcn and switch
men, $22 a month for the passenger
conductors and SIS for the passen-
ger brakemen. Another thing which
is considered, it is said, and probab-
ly, according to local employees, will
be asked, is the eight-hour day.
A committee of the employees OF
the western roads is now in session
in st. Paul arranging for revolution
izing of the working conditions Of
the roads, and the local lodges of
railroad employees are now waiting
the result of the consultation.
One of the employees of the Great
Northern said yesterday:
Trouble will not necessarily re-
suit from the meeting in St. Paul,
but the employees of the road I'M
doubtedly will go on strike unless
the raise is given. No definite &C
ton has been taken ON the eight
hour day, but this eventually will
come, as the men are of the opinion
that If the United States requires
only eight hours for days work on
its reservations that is all that the
railroads should demand. There has
not been an investigation of the
working conditions of the men for a
number of years, and the time has
come when there are many sources
of argument that can be settled
without any strike on the part of the
employees"
Railroad officials of Spokane were
of the opinion yesterday that the
matter will be settled without any
strike, but were pessimistic as to any
advance in wages at present, saying
the business of the roads was not
great enough to justify the raise.

Another Call for Troops for
Bad Forest Fires in

Washington, D. c., Aug. 19.-As
respecting forest fires in Montana
additional troops are needed to meet
the situation, according to kilograms

at the war department that there
were no more troops available for
service in Montana and Washington
at this time.

INSURGENTS GAIN
ING ON COAST
Standpatters Admit Burke
and Wilson Have Little
Chance if Both Stick

"Poindexter will carry King
county,"
That's the belief expressed in Sc
attic this week by insurgent republi-
cans.
Standpatters admit that the stu
alton looks very dubious for their
candidates, largely they say, because
of the number of regulars in the
field. The argue that if the others
would withdraw in favor Of Burke,
the judge would win over Poindex-
ter. But, although the Seattle Times
is trying to install courage by de-
claring daily that Judge Burke is
leading in the senatorial race it is
privately and candidly admitted that
he hasn't much show.
Progressives on the west side are
jubilant over the insurgent victory
at the California primaries Tuesday
Hiram Johnson, supported by the in
dependent vote of the Golden State,
got more votes than the other two
candidates combined, all of which
goes to show that the Independent
vote of that state is a fairly fat one.
The California victory is well
coined in this state for two reasons:
First, because it is additional proof
that the PEOPLE are asserting their
rights throughout the nation, and
second, because it will have a
strengthening effect on the primaries
here.
Poindexter is, metaphorically
speaking, laundering up and down
the west side, speaking daily and
nightly, and his supporters say he is
carrying everything before him. If
he puts King county in his pocket.
he wins. 1t is reckoned that he will
even give Ashton a hard race in
Pierce county.
Situation i'm Chelan County.
1t is very freely conceded that Po-
iniexter will carry Chelan county
by a large majority. The vote this
year will approximate 5000, and of
this it is expected that Poindexter
will have a plurality over the entire
vote cast. Judge Burke has express
ed it that he would feel very much
disappointed if he did not carry Che
Ian county on account of his past
connections here, but the Burke
campaign management has seriously
bungled the campaign and it is said
that he feels very much disappointed
at the way matters have been han
died in this county. The PoindexteT
strength is gaining very rapidly and
a preliminary vote of every precinct
in the county made this week justi-
fies the claim that Poindexter will
carry every precinct in Chelan coun-
ty by very substantial majorities.
