MACLAFFERTY CASE
ENDS IN MISTRIAL
Jury in Hard Fought Trial is
Unable to Agree. Out
q Hours.

The testimony in the trial of Drs.
b. l.. and Mayme MacLefferty, ac.
cused of connection with the death
o. Goldie Ness, was all in before noon
Tuesday, and Immediately following
A. Emerson Cross began the argu-
ment for the state, reviewing the case
and summing up the evidence.
The arguments of Attorneys f. E.
Boner and J. c. Hogan and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Campbell were com.
pleted yesterday afternoon, and, af-
ter an impartial charge to the jury
by Judge Irwin, the case was given
to the jury at 2:45 o'clock.
Contrary to general expectations,
the jury will probably disagree. They
were still out at one o'clock this af.
ternoOn, and the trial will probably
result in disagreement.
LATE-Just as the Herald was 90
ing to press. the jury informed the
court that they were unable to agree
or, verdict and were dismissed The
case will probably be retired at the
next term Of court.

Most Important Matter Ever
Before the People Of
Crays Harbor
Project is Enthusiastically En-.
dorsed at Montesano
and Elma.

The meeting of the Montesano Com
the project of embracing the whole
of Chehalis county in the Port Dis
trict of Grays Harbor, by the adop
tion of a resolution and the appoint
ment of committee of five to act
with like committees from Aberdeen,
Hoquiam and Elma that had already
been appointed. .
About twenty representative citi
zens of Hoquiam, four from Elma and
w. B. Mack, J. A. Hood, R. Fl. Keagy,
: S. X. Bowes, J. J. Carney, A. II. Grif-
fin, A. c. Gailac, Willis r. LebO and
w. w. Boner from Aberdeen, attend
; ed the meeting. The gathering was
3 enthusiastic from the start, and it
was plainly in evidence that the EN-
tire county appreciated the import
ance of building great commercial
city on Grays Harbor, and the time
had arrived to prepare for the traf-
fic that is certain to come to this
harbor upon the completion of the
Panama canal.
While the law provides that port
district may be smaller than an en-
tire county, preference is given to
the county idea, and this has been
the procedure in forming the Port
Of Seattle, the first to be organized
under the new law, which embraces
all of King county. Whatever ap-
preNersion was entertained on Grays
Harbor that the project would be op
posed in the eastern part of the coun-
ty, it was allayed last night, when
the Montesano club announced that
city in hearty accord with the move
ment. +. l.. Minard, of the Elma com
mittee, spoke for his section, and as.
sured the meeting that the farming
communities of the county were full
ly alive to the importance of the un.
dertaking to them as we'll as to the
tidewater sections Numerous ad.
dresses were made, all of them brim-
full of optimism for the glorious flu
ture of Grays Harbor and Chehalis
county. In fact the meeting was a
sure cure for the severe case of pes.
simism.
The meeting was presided over by
VIII. H. France, who before adjourn
ment. appointed c. N. Wilson, w. II.
Bush and w. ID. Crow a committee
to boost the Chehalis County Fair at
Aberdeen next week.
An effort will be made to have
Oakville appoint a similar commit
tee, and all the committees will meet
in joint session in the city hall, Alb
erdeen, next Thursday afternoon.

That the city council may repeal
the ordinance prohibiting street speak.

mttee from the Industrial Workers

peared before the Council.
c. w. Lessing was the first speak
err and he was radical in his remarks.
He said his organization demanded it's
rights of free speech and if the or
dinance was not repealed they would
speak anyway. He said that antag
| onism to their cause resulted in an
expense upon the taxpayers by flood
ing the jails.
Mr.. Drake for the Socialists said
that he represented the working men
and he asked that the speaking be per-
mitted on G street between Heron
and Hume streets.
c. f. Wilson also made short talk
and the matter was referred to the
street committee
The Council granted to the Grays
Harbor Railway & Light company
franchise for AZ years to construct
and operate it's railway system on
street. The council amended the
franchise which compels the street
railway system to light the streets
with 60 watt lights instead of 80
candle power lamps.

Investigation Of Steel Trust
Methods Shrinks Values
$loO, ,oM,Qpo.oo
SHERMAN LAW IS FEARED
The Decline Represented In
Aation Due to Illegal Bus
mess Methods

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3o-(Spec.
ial.) One of the New York financial
papers which has the interest of Wall
street very much at heart, printed
a statement following the recent dis
turbance in the steel market to the
effect that the furry caused a decline
in steel shares Of approximately one
hundred million dollars.
In the three days of the furry near
ly one-third of the trusts $5O0,O0O.OO0
of common stock was sold on the
Stock exchange in such volume that
the price was carried to new low
levels, thus showing that the one hun
dred millions in decline represent the
amount of money it is worth to the
trust to be considered immune from
the operation of the Sherman law.
Nothing has happened to Indicate
that anything is wrong with the in
trnsic value of the steel properties.
The mills are working as usual and
are in exactly the same state of eff
cheney they were in two years ago
when the stock was selling at its
high water mark. The shrinkage
came because of rumors that the
trust was to be prosecuted, and as
the business-the real business-of
the trust was not injured in any way,
the one hundred millions simply rep
resents the excess profits the trust
stood to lose in the event of disso-
luton under the application of the
Sherman law. In other words, the
serves as a measure of the
value to the trust of license to viO-
late the law. When that license was
threatened the trusts shares fell i'm
and this fall in prices, sim
ply as the result of a scare, is pretty
sure to be used by the Democrats
as an argument for making securities
keep down to their real value through
an enforcement of the antitrust law.
Commenting on the fall of steel
prices, Chairman Stanley. of the
House committee which just now is in
vestigating the steel trust. said that
nothing could better demonstrate the
necessity of enforcing the anti trust
law.
1T is obvious" Mr.. Stanley said,
that the reason steel stocks fell
