Work on the north jetty at the en-
trance to Grays Harbor was tempol-
arily stopped Saturday night the
men paid off and let go. When work
will be resumed is not known. but it
will not be until congress has pass
ed and President Taft affixed his sig
nature to the sundry civil bill. which
carries an appropriation of S63o.0Oo
/ for the continuing of work on the
/ jetty.
The refusal of President Taft to
approve the sundry civil bill was bas-
ed upon the failure of the bill to
carry appropriations for the COM
merce court and tariff boards, two Of
his pet commissions, which fail to
answer good purposes as at present
constituted. according to the judg-
ment of the house and senate. Not
withstanding the fact that all depart
ments OF government have been
crippled since July l, by the vetoe Of
this bill the fatuous obstinacy OF the
president, insists upon it that his
judgment in the matter is better than
that OF congress, where several hun
dred men have discussed it for
months in the preparation of the bud
get.
About so men have been at work
at the jetty. Friday about 80 of the
number We're paid off and came to
Aberdeen. and the remainde were
paid off Saturday night. Good pro-
eress has been made on the jetty
this year ard it was expected the
appropriation, which is on the con-
tinuors plan. would be available be-
fore the money from the last appro
priatiCn had been exhausted so that
work could be continued steadily.
Now. however. the money already
appropriated for the project has been
used up and the engineers have or
dered the work stopped until the sun

iertahing Goes through congress and
becomes law Only S50o.o0o had been
asked for the Grays Harbor jetty

be We'll into next season before the

AN IMPORTANT
INDIAN DECISION
State Courts Have No Juris-
diction Over Reservation
Indians Says Judge

MONTESANO, Aug. 12.-(SpeciaD
Superior Judge Ben Sheeks today
rendered decisions in the cases of
State of Washington VS.. Halle George
and State vs.. Edward Martin, which
will establish precedent, when ne
ruled thai the state had no right to
hold or any jurisdiction in bringing
to trial. members OF an Indian tribe,
who still claimed their tribal relations
if the crimes were committed on a
reservation.
Halle George, who is a member of
the Quillute Indian tribe, was a vlSi-
tor on the Quiniault reservation and
Edward Martin, born Quiniault who
had severed his tribal relations with
mother tribe and joined the Quilliutes
in Clallam county, We're both arrested
on charges of criminal assault on two
Quinault Indian girls. the crime be-
ing committed on the Quniault res
ervatiOn.
The Indians We're arrested more
than a month ago and since then have
been detained in the county Jail,
awaiting trial at the next term of the
Superior court. James Phillips, at
torney and graduate from Carlisle In
dian school, heard of the boys plight
and took up their case. He entered
demurrer to the information filed by
the state, claiming that the Federal
courts alone had jurisdiction over
tribal indians on the Quiniault reser-
vation and that the criminal laws of
the state did not extend to them and
that the state courts had no jurisdic-
ton. Judge Ben Sheeks sustained
the contention of the defendants and
ordered them discharged. AS there
is no Federal statute Furnishing the
crimes for which the Indians We're ar
rested, and charged in the state court,
both will go free.
Judge Phillips in his argument call
ed attention to the game laws of the
state, which are not applicable to
Indians hunting on their own reserva-
ton. and also to the dual murder of
Adam Hawk and another Indian, COM
mitted by Johnny Pope. two years
ago. Pope being tried by the Federal
authorities.

BULL MOOSE CALL
AGAIN PROBABLE,
Delegates at Chicago Advise
Statewide Convention
September Tenth
THIRD PARTY QUESTION
Suggest That the Committee
Named at Aberdeen
Issue the Call
JB THIRD PARTY QUESTION

SEATTLE, Aug. 10.-Gecrge II.
Walker, who was chairman OF the
Roosevelt state convention at Aber-
deem May Il. has received the follow
ing telegram, signed by all the dele
gates 10 the progressive convention
in Chicago:
After three days of participation
in the national convention We all
feel the vital strength of this new cru
sade for progress in America and the
necessity for our working as a unit
in behalf of the principles OF the
progressive party. The progressives
of the state of Washington must get
together in a complete organization
so regularly organized and so broad
in it's principles that it can consti-
tute a union of all the progressiveS of
the state.
Another Convention Wanted
"As a foundation for such an or
ganization we believe that the COM
mittee named at the Aberdeen con
yention should issue a call and pre-
pare a complete orderly plan for the
holding statewide convention on
September Ia. 1912. where all of the
with the plan of the national organ'-
zation and perfect the organization
of the progressyes of the state Of
Washington.
Until the question OF orSanization
can be settled in an orderly way we
hope the men who think as We do
will continue the progressive work
they are now doing in all existing
political parties, and that all men
Will sUbmeree their personal ambi-
tions and their likes and dislikes in
, harmonious working together for
Tie public good"
The question before the progress
ives of Washington is whether to
nominate a full electoral state and
congressional ticket Cn September
10, or only Roosevelt electors. Many
of the progressive leaders III the
state are candidates for Office on the
republican ticket in the primaries to
he held September 10. These can
didates are opposing the third party
movement.
