Judge Arntson this morning
dismissed the case against VIM.
A. Barnes, who was arrested
Thursday in connection with the
arrest of Howard Coppeck and
Charley Parkhurst, charged with
kidnapping Algea Riley last Nom
day night. Barnes was arrested
charged with resisting an officer
when he stated to the detectives
that he was an officer and had
been such for three years and
also when he stated that he did
not know that the girl was In the
house.
Judge Arntson said:
"Should a man be prosecuted
because he argued with an officer.
Any man has the right to express
his opinion to an officer or any
one else IL he thinks he Is in the
right.
'Mr. Barnes even telephoned to
Captain Needham, a superior offi-
GER, in regard to the matter. AS
far as resisting an officer Is con-
cerned, any officer has the right
to go after and get any girl any
place IL she is under IS years OF
age, and it was not Mr.. Barnes
fault that the detectives did not
know their duty in this respect.

legislation In the fight for the
workmen's compensation act, ac-
cordin& to the report or President
Charles II. Case of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, as read to the
meeting OF the labor delegates
this week at Spokane.
All of them rate themselves
as gressives-before election
time.
The workmen's compensation
act, proposed originally by the
Tacoma Commercial club, provid-
ed for the state to insure injured
and killed workmen, cutting out
court costs, providing prompt pay
ment for victims of Industrial ac-
cidents and putting the casualty
companies out of business.
The casualty companies had
lobbies on the ground. So did
employers who had the hospital
fee system" which drew 81 a
month for each workman, and
which was frequently a source of
graft.
These employers opened a fight
on the FIRST aid" part of the bill,
providing for immediate weekly
payment of injured men. They
won. Here are the Pierce coun-
ty men who voted with them:

they could find no takers. Admirers of
Woigast evidently fear the verdict of
the newspaper men here, figuring the
prejudice in favor of Mandot will prove
too great d handicap TO risk. They
say Wolgast viii have to stop his man
to win.
Mandots friends are shouting that
this Is the first time since Wolgast has
been champion that he has not been a
big favorite in the betting. They are
beratinG Tom Jones because he dos not
grab off wagers offered and say that
is evidence that Jones thinks Mandot
is the better man.
Jones denied that he has refused
any bets. He claims he has taken a
bundle of them and has $4,000 more
to bet He made the startling asser-
ton that Wolgast would win by the
knockout route inside OF three rounds.
