EOMESTEADS NOT TAXED
lmproy cmcnts Oniy Arc Liable Until
Government Passes Title

Word has come out from OLYMPIA
to the effect that the state tax COM
mission advises that homesteaders on
~ have to pay taxes on tho improve
ments on lands, until after the home
steader has title to the land. The
commission says that the fact that
final proof has been made only shows
that the man has resided on tho
tract for a period Of five years, but
until the homesteader receives title
the title is in the United States and
no taxes have to be paid except on
improvements.

COURT IS OUT
18TH! VI DEFENSE
Judge Bordwell Claims That At.
torneys Are Trying to Cir
cumvent Rulings
REJECTS CHALLENGES
AGAINST TWO TALESME.N
With Rejection of These Chal-
lenges Jury in McNainara Case
Now Has Seven Men in Box
Passed for Cause by Both Sides

LOS ANGELES, Oct, 30.-Judge
Bordwell accused the defense in the
Mcnamara murder case today of
trying to circumvent his rulings and
rejected the two challenges against
talesmen which formed the basis of
his supposition. He also refused the
defense the privilege of challenging
against the juror who said he would
not convict of murder on circdm-
stantial, evidence alone holding this
challenge could be sustained only
when exercised by the prosecution.
Under these rulings the jury box
contained at the close of court to-
day three men passed for cause by
both sides in addition to the four
who previously qualified.
barrow Enters Objection
To both of the courts main rulings
today Attorney barrow of the defense
excepted For the first time since
the trial began, the defense brought
in one of it's investigators to confront
George w. johnson, the talesman
who stated he had not told anyone it
was his belief the Times was blown
mp by union men and talked to any
ore about the case. Taking the stand,
]. W. Fitzgerald, a fledgling attorney,
testified he talked to Johnson about
the Times explosion. He did not re-
member what was said without ref
erence to his report. Fitzgerald prob
ably will be examined further tomor-
row.
Challenges Insinccrc
Johnson is the man challenged be-
cause he objected to conviction for
murder on circumstantial evidence.
The challenges against a. c. Winter
and Walter n F'rampton on same
ground, were denied, but these met
the disapproval of the court as in
sincere and Intended to circumvent
the previous ruling of the court that
the men were not disqualified because
of an expressed opinit n that James 3.
Mcnamara was guilty of murder. The
court pointed out that these men de-
rived their opinions from the COM
mon notoriety of public journals and
magazines, all Of which excepted the
law from disqualifying talesman.
To this barrow excepted, declaring
that Winters opinion concerning
strikes and strikers was based on per-
sonal knowledge. When the court
closed Johnson's case was subject to
further elaboration.

CHICAGO, oct 30--President Taft

ASKS ACQU|TTAl

In the superior court Monday,
Judge Preble heard arguments on
a motion made by Englehart and
Rigg, attorneys for the Pacific Power
and Light company. to declare the
verdict returned in August by jury
in Justice Hunts court, against the
company one of acquittal, on the
ground that it did not Justify any fine
against the defendant in the action
and moved that judgment be en-
tered discharging the defendant. The
contention was that the company was
merely found guilty of criminal neg
LICENSE in allowing valve to leak,
whereas the charge upon which the
conviction was sought was permitting
the pumping of polluted water into
the mains.
The verdict found by the jury was,
In effect about az follows: We. the
jury in the case or the state versus
the Pacific Power and Light company
find after being fully advised in all
the premises that the defendant wa
guilty of neglect in failing TO use due
precautions to keep valve No, ; frorn
leaking which fact we find to be the
case, ana we Tx the me oil the 0e-
PENDANT at s99,99 and costs of action.
Intent of jury Well Defined
The complaint charged the com
pany with wilfully and unlaWfuily
permitting the Cascade Lumber cora
pany to pump polluted water into city
mains and in failing to use due pre-
cautions to prevent the Cascade null
from so doing. 1t was the contention
Of the state in the arguments Mon
day, that the intent OF the jury was
well defined, as they fixed the fine NJ
the minimum amount for such u
charge. The state also argued that
II was permissible to take into consld-

No More Dual Control

Referring to the courts opinion,
Commissioner Lane declared sit
meant eventually there is to be no
dual control of interstate carriers"
The determination vt this mooted
question was laid down in an opinion
read by Judge Vandeventer in II case
instituted by the government against
southern railway. The point at
issue was whether the federal act ap-
piled in the case of a shipment from
one point in Alabama to another point
in the same state.

Federal Law Compulsory

In its opinion the court held that
compliance with the federal law was
compulsory on all railroads engaged
in transportation of persons or freight
from ono state to another. Elaborat-
ing on this, however. 1t was held that
the cars or equipment of such roads.
even If engaged in transportation
within the confines of state. must be
considered a part and parcel of the
road and therefore completely under
the jurisdiction of the federal COM
mission. Members of the interstate
commission are jubilant at the rul-
ing of the supreme court which Is
unanimous.

Marked progress has been made to-
ward the establishment of the quar-
rying industry of the American Break

ment beyond which is the ledge of
stone An excavation approximate ly
500 feet long and wide enough to lay
double tracks has been made, cover
ing about one half the distance to

TO the river front and elnptied to form
IN abutmen- to the stone wharf, the
construction of which will begin in a
short time. This wharf vii lbe several
hundred feet long TO accommodate
larges, on which the stone is to be
loaded and carried to destination.
