PLAN WAR ON
DEL|NQUENTS
Juvenile Offenders VIII be Close
ly Watched and Prosecuted
According to Mayor.
REPORT ALL CASES TO
THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
Mayor and Police Decide Youths
Do Not Fear Arrest One Half
So Much As Publicity-Hotels
and Rooming House Included.

Delinquents Of both sexes. are to
be closely watched by the police in
the future and according to Mayor
Schott, the time for leniency has
passed. From this date on, all Of
tenders will be punished by heavy
fines and, If the mayor has his way,
instead of the police making an eff
fort to keep the names Of the youth
secret, all the information obtainable
will be aired in the newspapers. May
or Schott has issued strict orders along
these lines.
1--WE are going after the deln-
quents," said Mayor Schott last night,
land instead of assisting them in
keeping the stories of their arrests
secret, we propose to see that all
cases are reported to the newspapers.
After that the matter will rest with
the editors and If they see fit to print
the names of the parties concerned,
they may do So"
The mayor went on to say that he
thought 1t by-rfar the better plan
to have the cases aired rather than
to protect the police court characters
from publicity. He cited instances
where at least three different girls
had said openly that they did not
fear arrest one half so much as they
feared publicity through the news
columns. These girls, he said, have
been taken from rooming houses no
less than three times in the past five
weeks and although they paid little
attention to being arrested and fined,
they were always very anxious to
keep their names away from the
Prominent Lads Caught.
Captain of Police Perry is authority
for the statement that several promi-
nent young men of the city have re-
Gently been taken from hotels DUR
ing raids and that In several cases,
the victims have been hauled into
police court several times for identi-
cal offenses "In these cases." he
said, 1--WE have made a practice OF
keeping the names secret so far as
was possible but from now on out we
are going to do police duty, paying
no attention to keeping the "blotter'
| from the newspapers. We have strlc'
orders to keep no information Of this
kind from the reporters and we GER
tainly shall not do So"
The condition of the city. with re-
gard to Juvenile offenders. Is far
worse now than at any time since
the efflcient war that was wageo
against them about six months ago
and this condition. the police say. Il
due to leniency rather than negli'
eence of duty. The officers are au-
thority for the statement that about
10 young girls, who are in the habf
of frequenting the streets at all hours
of the night, must either mend theii
ways or be prosecuted and have theil
cases aired through the papers.
Not only will the offenders sufrel
publicity in the future, but the hoteii
and rooming houses as well, in whicf
the raids are made, will be men
toned.

G;1YS Man BEAT

sc

eyed Assault Upon Man and
Wife Both Over Sc.
INFORMATION CHARGES
THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT
Defendant Has Tale of His Own to
Tell-Denies Beating Old Peo-
pie and Says He Was Only
Fighting His Way to Liberty.

Charged with beating up John II.
Sigil, aged 60 and his wife, aged Sc
years, E. T. Manhart, ladies' tailor
with shop and residence on South
Fourth street, was arrested Tuesday
afternoon by Teputy Sheriff Right
mire. The information is sworn to by
Sigil and the warrant, charging third
degree assault, was issued by Justice
Hunt. Manhart was released upon
800 cash bail which was provided
by prominent local business man
According to the information OBJ
tanned from Sigil's tale, for some time
past there has been bad blood" be-
tween the two families. Monday morn
ing, Sigil says, Manhart appeared at
the Sigil home and demanded some
furniture which had been stored there
for several months. Sigil says his
wife asked the visitor II he was pre-
pared to pay a storage rental of 81
per month whereupon Manhart be-
gan to abuse Mrs Sigil.
The com plainant declares that he
then ordered Manhart to leave his
AOuSC elIu tulS lASICq0 Vi OUCylAS
the command, Manhart turned and
struck him between the eyes. Sigil
says that Manhart was rapidly getting
the best of the encounter when Mrs.
Sigil came to her husbands rescue
and was given jolt or two for ner
trouble. Both Sigil and his wife
exhibited numerous scratches and
bruises to bear out their assertion that
a real battle had ensued.
Has Different Story.
When taken into custody, Monhart
declared he was not guilty of the
crime charged. He told Deputy Right
mire that Sigil had insulted Mrs.
Manhart and that he had gone over
to the. Sigil residence on a chore be-
cause his wife was afraid of their
neighbors. He said that when he
stepped inside the Sigil home, the
old man and woman Immediately
jumped upon him and that he fought
back until he was able to get outside
again.
Manhart has been in business in the
city for some time past and so far as
is known, has never been in trouble
before. The Sigil's are newcomers
here having recently arrived from the
east. Trial of the case will probably
come up in Justice Hunts court this
afternoon.

DUTCH BIRDS WILL
Be ON EXHIBITION
Poultry Show Here Next Week
Gives Every Indication of Be-
ing a Record Breaker.

Dutch classes are to be one of the
lines of birds shown at the poultry
show here next week which will be
out of the ordinary in Yakima. All
the Hamburgs will be on parade and
there are those who think that the
old "silver spangled" Hamburg is the
prettiest bird of any kind, not ex-
cepting the famous bird of paradise,
that the earth produces. Whether
this be the case or not the birds are
beautiful and they have never been
exhibited here except an odd bird or
two put In along with the other ex-
hibits. This one feature Of the show
will alone be worth the admission fee
to many patrons
Evidences continue to multiply that
the show here will be the largest that
the county has yet had. AS has hith-
erto been stated Yakima, though
boasting but a limited number of
birds, has always sent out classy
lot This year the increase over pre-
vious seasons is more marked than
ever before. For the first time the
fanciers here will see birds directly
imported from foreign countries, some
of them at very high figure.
Professionals Have Come.
The influence of the display this
year has reached to wider area
than ever before and the number of
outside birds, II enquiries are any
criterion, will be very large. Spo-
kane, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla.
to say nothing of the smaller towns
of the state, have asked for infor-
nation. Oregon has sent in soine en-
quiries and the Yakima valley itself
is to turn out in force.
One fact that the show has brought
to light is that there are located here
men who have made the chicken bust
ness their sole means of livelihood
and have won out financially in fol-
| lowing it. This is a surprise. Here
the birds have been side issue with
some and a hobby with others. The
professional has entered the field
from Illinois. Iowa and other states
and the pace has become faster.

NEWT0WN P|PP|NS TO
SELL At LOWER PRICE
British Fruit Buyer Tells Reason
Fruit Sells Below Figures
Formerly Paid.

Asked, time after time and day af-
Ter day, as to the reason for the low
price for Newtown pippins J. Nichols
rof London, Eng, who, Is purchasing
fruit here said to The Herald Tues
day:
"In past years tho. class of people
who have been consuming newtowns
has been the rich to whom the price
was no object Let the apples he
ever so expensive these people would
take what they wanted Of them. and
let them be ever so cheap they would
take no more. This, class by COM
parison, II very small When the
supply is more than they want the
price must necessarily fan to meet
the figure of the other classes to
whom cost Is a serious question. These
other classes will not give more for
newtowns than for good, average col
ored apples This northwest district
is already producing far too many
newtowns for the first class I have
mentioned and must now be pre-
pared TO take prices that will meet
the requirements of all the other
classes. The colored apples Is the
one that is in great demand through
out the British markets" -.
High Prices Have Passed.
Mr.. Nichols leaves 1t aboundantly
apparent that in his opinion the
palmy days of high prices for the
newtowns have passed and that the
time has arrived when they must
take their place In competition with
the more highly colored fruit, the
surplus of production of their kind
at least a production beyond the de-
mands of the limited few, placing
them there. What Mr. Nichols says
about the British market demanding
the colored apple differs somewhat
from the general impression which
has prevailed here. 1t has been the
belief that Britain wanted the yellow
fruit. This idea appears to have
arisen from the higher price paid for
the newtowns when that kind were
scarce comparatively.
