returned from the east, and there
were no reasons advanced as to why
he should leave here without notify
ing his friends He was last seen
walking westward along the Northern
Pacific railroad a few miles west of
this city.
Condition of the Body
The Identification of the body of
the young man is complete Upon his
person We're found nearly $500 in
cash. together with a check for $50
signed by his mother. In his cuffs
were his gold cuff links, with his
monogram engraved thereupon Both
his clothing and his underwear were
plainely marked with the word
Long The only things of value
missing were the watch and chain
worn by him. 1t is presumed that
they were detached by some obstruc-
ton in the river.
Cause of Death
There are many indications to bear
out the belief that deceased came to
his death by having been struck by a
Northern Pacific train on the bridge
just north of East Seah 1t will be
remembered that his cap was found a
short distance west of that point The
supposition is that the cap was car
ried by the train for several feet after
the accident, the body in the mean
time having fallen into the river
Both legs were broken between the
ankle and knee and the left arm was
broken. The body also showed signs
that death was caused by having been
struck by the train
Body Seen Wednesday
The body of William Carson Long
was seen by half dozen people float
ing down the Yakima river Wednes-
day evening. 1t was first seen at
Pomona, afterwards at the Selah
bridge near this city then at the
Fourth street bridge, and finally at
the Donald railroad bridge across the
Yakima. Mr.. Huebner, manager of
the Cascade Lumber company, had a
good view of the body as it floated
past, but was deceived as to its ident-
ity, for he was firmly of the opinion
that the corpse was that of a man
not more than 3 feet inches in
height. There were reasons for his
opinion, for both legs of the body hav-
ing been broken, they were not in
view, hence the mistake.
Munificent Rewards
After the disappearance of the
young man on March 3, the Cascade
Lumber company through its man
ager. A. H. Huebner. offered a reward
of $500 for the recovery of the body,
dead or alive. T. X. Long, father of
the deceased. was on trip to the
Panama country in Central America
Upon his arrival at New Orleans, and
having been notified of the disappear
ance of his son, he authorized through
the Associated Press that he would
give q reward of $1,000, on the same
terms. in addition to that previously
offered,

MRS. EVA BERTALON
FINED 81 AND COSTS
Extreme Leniency Exercised by
Judge Preble in Famous
Manslaughter Case

Mrs. Eva Bertalon received her
sentence from Judge r. b. Prehle in
superior court Tuesday. having been
convicted of manslaughter for the
killing of her illcgitimate girl baby on
the morning of February is. The
sentence was that she pay fine of 81
placed at $l54.50.
Judge Preble delivered the sentence
from the bench. and later filed a type
written copy thereof in the office OF
the county clerk. From that docu-
ment it is learned that there were two
phases of the case in particular which
caused the judge to exercise such eX-
tremc Clemency. The first was that
the testimony brought forth at the
trial did not relate what act had been
committed by the defendant. or what
act or thing had been left undone by
her which caused the death of the
babe, The Judge stated that the jury
had not stated what particular act of
defendant had caused the death, or
what thing had been left undone by
her that caused it, nor was it neces-
sary FOR them to do so. They had
brought in verdict of guilty. with q
plea for clemency. 1t then devolved
on the judge to analyze the evidence.
The second point entering into the
reason for the sentence was the ignor-
ance of the defendant. The judge eX-
pressed his opinion that the defendant
lacked mental capacity, and that it
followed that as she lacked mental
capacity she should not be too Sc
verely punished for failure to eXer-
else a mental capacity which she did
not possess.
Cost to County
While the cost taxed up again
Mrs. Bertalon's trial are placed at
SI5f.50, they are In reality approx
mately $3.50.
The fine Of 81 was paid for Mrs.
BertalOn by a woman present, and the
execution of that part of the sentence
relating to the costs of the case was
suspended

In the capitol there are two rooms
for these women callers, one for those
wishing to see the congressman and
another for those who are looking for
the senators
In each of these rooms there is a
young woman who takes charge of
the callers. The young woman in
charge of the Congress waiting room
has the most trouble. for the callers
are more numerous and more bother
some. AS they come in they go to
her desk and tell her whom they
wish to see and she takes their card

The pages who carry these cards
back and forth are generally kept
very busy and often come in for ugly
call downs from disappointed callers.
When the legislature at Washing

are generally very busy and absorbed
in the nations business If they are
fighting for measure which is of ma

time to be explaining difficulties and
