SOLVING
THE TRAMP
PROBLEM
JUSTIFIED rnnss LEASED VIE. J

Ellensburg, Wash, April19.-
Hereafter it will be dangerous for
any able-bodied man to venture with
in the limits of this city, unless he
is prepared to accept a job on short
notice, or produce proof that he is
financially beyond the necessity Of
laboring. Under direction Of Chief
Calvin, police officers are watching
the railroad yards day and night for
INDECENT travellers, and as fast as
these are rounded up they are offered
the alternative of going to work on
nearby ranches or filing an engage
ment on the chain gang The reason
for the unusual activity of the police
is that the entire Kittitas valley is
suffering from a scarcity of labor.
Three hundred farm hands are need
ed.
Fifteen tramps were arrested yes
terday. and accepted work in the
country in preference to the chain
gang. The police then rounded up
all the men found in rooming houses,
and served notice that every man not
at work would be given employment
on the chain gang, If he did not ac-
cept farm work.

Everett, Wash, April 19.-Com-
pleting a stormy voyage, with many
days of terror, the German ship
Adolf arrived this morning, 292 days
from Bremen, by way of st. Vincent
Cape Verde Island and Monteyideo
The Adolph sailed from Bremen with
a cargo OF 1000 tons Of pig and strue-
tural iron, loaded at ST. Vincent from
the disabled bark Skiold.
The ship ran into a terrific gale
off the Platte river, causing her cargo
to shift. Richard Febile, a sailor,
fell from the mizzen gallant yard in
to the sea and was lost.
For days the crew fought for life,
and finally put into MonteyeideO.
where It took a month TO restow the
cargo and repair the rigging. On put
ting out the Adolf again ran into a
gale off the Platte, and the cargo
again shifted Captain Dirks changed
his course and made the run way Of

tance was twice as great
The Adolf Is discharging 500 tons

Copenhagen, April 19.-Finnish
leaders are in conference here con-
cerning the advisability of seeding
entirely from Russia, throwing off
the authority of the czar, as grand
duke of their country, establishing
new government of their own and
fighting for their independence.
The matter is under consideration,
not at a single specific meeting, but
at series of conversations between
men of prominence of Helsingfords
and the Finnish provinces. They are
necessarily conducted with the ut
most secrecy, the Russian govern
ments espionage over them even here,
despite complaints from the Dannish
authorities, being extremely close. A
sort of headquarters has, neverthe-
less, been established in Copenhagen,
where men identified with the inde-
pendence movement are constantly
coming and going in connection with
the enterprise.
Enough is known of their deliber-
ations, however, to render 1t certain
that they are delaying just at present
pending reports from emissaries al
other capitals throughout Europe and
| perhaps in America, concerning the
support the Films are likely to re-
ceive from abroad in an attempt to
resist the czar They realize, OF
course, that in a straight fight with
Russia they must certainly be beaten
1t is not considered foregone con.
clusion, however, that outside phys.
ical assistance will be necessary
many believing that, If they show
their willingness to fight, the pressure
Of public opinion ell over the worlc
Will be 80 strong that the st. Peters
| burg government will consider II
best to yield.
Some even favor an appeal to Ger
many on condition that the join the
kaiser's empire, which, though II
would involve considerable sacrifices
in the way of independence, they are
sure could be managed under more
| satisfactory terms than those under
which the "bloody czar," as Nicholas
| is known all over Finland, is forcing
them to become a mere province OF
| Russia.

Red Bluff, Cal, April 19.-An at
tempt was made today to derail and
rob the Portland express at Corning,
near here today. The lives Of hun
dreds of passengers were placed in
jeopardy when the engine, express

ductor Nichols, of the Portland train
The wreck occurred at the Sou
thern end of Corning switch yard.
Railroad men here believe that
tramps placed the tie across the
tracks in revenge for a beat
ing given fifteen tramps few

liceman Kennedy. Others are in
clined to think that robbery was the
motive.

WRIGHTS
ENJOINED
BY LAWSON
ruN1rrp PRESS LEASED w1RE.l


Cincinnati, o., April ia suit
to enjoin the Wright brothers from
manufacturing, or selling aeroplanes
was filed in the federal court here
today by Charles Lamson of Pasa-
dena, Calf.
Lamson, in the suit, charges that
the Wrights' aeroplanes infringe a
patent for a box kite which Lamson
and his brother patented a number
of years previous to the issuance OF
the Wright patents.
During the Los Angeles aviation
meet in November, Lamson and his
brother, who are jewellers in a small
suburb of Pasadena, called upon
Glenn Curtis who has had several
spats with the Wrights in cOnnec-
ton with patent infringements and
explained that he held patents on
the wing warping device, which the
Wrights claim to have created.
The result of the conference be-
tween the Lamsons and Curtiss was
not made public.
1t was announced soon afterward
by Lamson that he would bring suit
against the Wrights. When Lam
son patented his box kite he entered
proviso in his application for a
patent, to the effect that the kite
could be driven by power and be so
constructed as to carry man.

Alden, April 19.-Now that Eng,
lish troops have evacuated the in.
terror of British Somaliland, the
Mad Mullah is making as rapid
clean up as possible of all the
tribesmen who were friendly, during
the British occupation of the Hin
terland, to European rule.
His massacre early in April of
500 "friendlies'' of the Delbahanta
tribe was only the beginning of the
Mullah's campaign. He has formal
ly announced that he is on the war
path to stay. The tribesmen who
formerly believed themselves under
British protection number about
100000. The Mullah has not men
enough to dispose of them all at
once, but ever since the initial at
tack on the Delbahantas, he and his
ravishers have been slaughtering
and plundering the other tribesmen
in installments.
Reports from the interior indicate
that the tribes far removed from the
coast are trying to make terms with
the Mullah by accepting his rule and
joining his force. Those nearer the
sea are gathering about the ports of
DClDcld anu AClidBuLGlld, WHlCh IDC
English retain, though their garri-
sons are insufficient to protect the
"friendles." 1t is beginning to be
question, indeed, whether it will
be possible to hold even Berbera and
Zeila when the Mullah gets the in
terror again fully under his control.
Although a few arms were distrib-
uted by the British among the
"friendlies" when it was decided to
abandon the latter to their fate, the
tribesmen are leaderless, disunited
and also practically without ammu-
milton, so that they are unable to put
up an effective defense.
Having disposed of the friend
lies" ii is a foregone conclusion that
the Mullah will turn his attention to
the expulsion of the British from
Berbera and Zeila, and of King Vic
tor Emanuel's forces from Italian
Somalland, and to the extension OF
his borders across the Abyssinian
frontier. The general opinion here
is that ordinarily worthless as the
Somaliland interior is, its abandon
ment by the British is bound to re-
suit in disorders which it will ulti-
mately be necessary to suppress at
a cost far heavier than would have
been that of holding the country
while the English troops actually oc-
cupied it.

Shingle companys mill, was killed in
fight in the engine room of the
mill today, with w. j. Peiffer, the
chief engineer The men quarreled
over the working of a lubricator.
According to Peiffer's story, Reed
struck him, leaving a deep cash over
one eye. Not satisfied, according to
Peiffer, the sawyer grabbed up a
wrench and began beating the engi-
neer over the head.
They clinched and both fell to the
floor, Reed underneath, falling on a
pile of scrap iron. When Peiffer
arose he discovered that Reed was
dead A doctor was called and said
that Reeds neck was broken.
There were no other marks on the
body.
Peiffer bears cuts and wounds
which seem to bear out his story.

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Kansas City, Mo-, April 19.-The
defense of DR.. B. G. Hyde, charged
with the murder of Colonel Thomas
H. Swope, had it's inning today.
Attorney Frank p. Walsh for the
defense began his opening argument
with the contention that cyanide OF
potassium had been injected into
the body of Colonel Swope while it
lay in a cemetery vault.
He declared that the tomb of the
millionaire philanthropist had been
desecrated, the casket ripped open
and the body tampered with.
"The body of Colonel Swope was
left in such a state by those who
rifled the vault, that it froze. We
intend to show that interested per-
sons had put poison in Colone.
Swope's veins either at the vault,
the catacomb, or the morgue," said
Walsh.
The death of DR.. Twyman adds
another name to the list of those
connected with the Swope family
who have suffered illness and died.
DIR. Twyman was long the family
physician of the Swopes. He was
expected by the state to testify that
he had found Miss Margaret Swope
near death from cyanide poisoning
and that soon afterward he found
that drug in a box handled by Dr.
Hyde.
DR.. Twyman also had been relied
upon to establish the states accusa
ton that DR.. Hyde's medical prac-
tice was irregular. Also he had
been expected to testify concerning
the death of Colonel Moss Hunton,
one time executor of the Swope es-
tate.
The death of DIR. Twyman has re-
moved the states most important
witness and is a blow to the prose
cution of the defendant.
The belief among attorneys here
is that the Chicago toxoligists, DR..
Haines and Kektoen have discred-
tied themselves by representations in
conflict with the facts as developed
so far
The defense claims that Colonel
Swope partook of alcoholic drinks
for 25 years, causing his liver to
become c'rrhotic. If Colonel Swope
died of strychnine poisoning, they
aver, then the effect of the poison
was belated.
The hardened liver they contend
stored the strychnine gradually until
it had accumulated sufficiently TO
kill him suddenly.
The defense claims that TO"
months Colonel Swope used a tonic
containing strychnine.
Referring TO the prosecut ons al
legation that Hyde inocula,ed the
Swope family with typhoid germs IN
order to make easier their deaths by
poison, Walsh said
"Dr Hyde used diphtheria and
typhoid bacilli culture tubes for
legitimate experimentation"
When discussing the bleeding OF
Colonel Hunton by Dr.. Hyde, who
according to the state, let TWO quarts
of blod from the patient, thereby
causing his death, Walsh said:
"Dr. Hyde used his best judgment
in bleeding Colonel Hunton."
In the course Of h3 opening
statement. Walsh said that Dr.
HYDE would go up on the witness
stand. Walsh explained the pres
ence of cyanide n Hyde's office by
saying that is was used to kill COCK
The attorney asserted that Dr.
Twyman had sole charge of the
bleding of Colonel Hunton. he
branded every allegation OF the
prosecution as false and said:
"'These statements are based upon
the testimony OF paid detectives and
springs from malice and envy.
