YAKIMA CITY
TAKES A HAND
Sets Marshals to Guard Street
Which Harry Thomas Seeks
to Close
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
DECLINES TO STEP IN
When Asked by a Property Own
er for Protection in the Use of
a Highway Which Is His Only
Means of Egress From His Land

Yakima City took a hand Monday
in the play for land there, inaugu-
rated a few days since by Harry
Thomas when he fenced up Fourth
street And Prosecuting Attorney
Ward declined to take IA hand. Sev-
eral plays were made in the game
and more will be made TODAY Mr..
Thomas, IS stated in the Herald of
sunday, claims certain property,
which according to Yakima City peo-
pie has been common since the town
was. created, and he sought to fence
up street which according to others
has been used for 80 years as a pub
lie highway, which has been MAIN
tanned, it is said, by Yakima City Cor
a great many years without let or
hindrauce and which has heen used
by one property holder, to whom it
is an essential. for the past nine years
without question heretofore from any
source.
City Takes Hand
Yakima City posted marshals Mon
day at each end of the street which
Mr.. Thomas claims, cut his wires and
held the thoroughfare open for pup
lie use but the claimant put in an an
pearance and sought to restore his
barriers. Trouble ensued and the
courts will hear that phase of it at
Yakima City today. There is also
talk it restraining order procured
by the town TO be served on Mr..
Thomas.
The appeal to Prosecuting Attor-
W. Weaver. whose home and five
acre tract will be bottled up if the
contention of Mr.. Thomas prevails.
Mr. Weaver has been using the road
way for nine years and asked tn :
prosecuting attorney to see that his
rights to a public highway were pro-
tected' Mr.. Ward it is reported, posi-
lively and briefly declined to have
anything to do with the case.
Opens Another Phase
In consequence of this Mr. Weaver
proposes to open another phase Of
the question having to do with GER
tain Yakima City land on which de-
linquent taxes ware recently paid. He
believes that if the question of title
is raised a all he can make show
ing which will be advantageous to
his contention Nh Weaver was re-
ferred by Mr.. Ward to the city at
torney of Yakima City but thinks that
if a claim to the land by Mr.. Thomas
is based on recognition of title by
the county then Mr.. Ward comes in
one way or the other. In any event,
he proposes to find out.
The land of Mrs. Carmichael and
that of Alex. McAllister touch on the
900 foot strip which Mr.. Thomas
claims but they have other fronta GO
so that they are not bottled up as is
MI. Weaver. File, however, is no. the
sole protestant as the ROADWAY has
been generally used and, according to
all belief. had become established

Liquor Dealers Buying
Speakers for Georgia
National Model License League
Offers $50 Per Day to Law
yers to Fight Pope Brown


The following statement was Civ
en- out on Thursday by Volney Will
liams. campaign manager for Pope
Brown:
One of the most remarkable
things in the present campaign is
the fact that there are some people
who are inclined to believe that the
liquor question is not involved. A
few prohibitionists have seemingly
closed their eyes to the signs of the
times.
There is no getting around the
fact that the liquor interests of
America are fighting the election of
Pope Brown and making their first
stand in a terrific battle which they
expect to wage against Georgia's pro-
hibition laws.
In the year 1910 the National
Model License League, a corporation
composed of the largest brewing and
distilling interests in America, a few
of which are George F. Gund, of the
Gund Brewing Company, Cleveland
Ohio; J. w. MCCULLOUGH, of Green
River Distilling Company, Ovens
burg, KY, and D. Meschendorf, of
Old Kentucky Distillery, Louisville,
KY, ETC., etc, commenced prepara-
tons for the fight that is now being
made On Georgia against prohibition
laws. People of Georgia, this is no
idle story being used for campaign
purposes-it is an absolute fact, as
shown by a letter received from this
National Model License league, by
j. H. Shelton, prominent lawyer of
Hartwell, Ga. Evidence can easily
be produced establishing the fact
that like letters to this were sent in
to every county in Georgia, and it is
probable that all the lawyers in
Georgia who received these letters
did not act as Mr.. Shelton, and that
is refused to represent these liquor
interests, but who accepted their
proposition and are now probably
making speeches at $50 per day in
an effort to defeat Hon. Pope Brown
for governor"

Girl Throws Defiance
in Governors Face

Atlanta, Ga. Nov, 18-A slender
sweet-faced girl has thrown open
defiance in the face of the new gov
ernor of Georgia, Hon. John M, Sla-
ton, and has succeeded thus far i'm
thwarting him in the most impor-
tant step he has tried to take since
he was elevated to the office.
The girl is Miss D. L. Henderson,
of Atlanta. The fight is over Cover
nor Slaton's effort to reinstate For
mer Governor Norton as compiler
of state records. The girl has a
contract signed by the Governor
Hoke Smith, authorized her to do
the work Governor Slaton was to
give to Norton, and she refuses alb
solutely to give it up.
According to the story which
circulates today in the capitol cor
ridors, Governor Slaton sent for
Miss Henderson, and when he found
she was determined to stand on her
contract declared, You will either
have to do this work under Cover
nor Norton, or you won't do it at
ALL
won't work under Governor Nor
ton, and won't give up the the con-
tract" answered Miss Henderson
and she is at her office in the CAPT.
tol engaged in the work as if moth
ing had happened. If Governor
Slaton endeavors to cancel the con-
tract Miss Henderson it is under
stood, will appeal to the attorney
general for an opinion declaring
that the contract is binding Cover
nor Slaton's friends say he has the
right to cancel the contract. An
interesting struggle is, therefore,
bound to take place.
