STOCKHOLM, July 10.-Un-
expected defeat was the portion
of the Americans in the Olympic
games here today. With five
men qualified for the final of the
1900 meter race, including the
best performers seen here, it was
believed the Americans would
fill all of the point places. In
stead, the race was won by Jack
son. the British crack, who made
his run after the field had
Strengthened away in the home
stretch. To win Jackson had to
hand a new worlds record of
1855 3-5, as against the old rec
ord of 1859 4-5.
The result of second and third
place was SO close that the judges
could not close and withheld
their announcement until the
photographs taken of the finish
could be developed.

The Ashton syndicate tideflat

is valued at 100000, in a deci-
sion handed down last, evening by
Judge Clifford. The original
valuation placed by the county

proximatelys $4,000.
The court held that the annual
increase in value should be about
per cent and fixed the taxes for
1910 and 1911 at $23,908.30.
she increase of 6 per cent an
nually shall obtain until maxi

alton by the court is of immense
importance in considering the
possibility of further railroads or

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10.
Senator William Lorimer of
Illinois faced the crisis of his sem
atorial career today, when he
prepared to begin his own per-
sonal plea of mot guilty" to the
charge of knowledge OF corrup-
tion in his election.
The anti-Lorimerites were con-
fident today that no oratoricaI
plea by the Illinois statesman
could. move the majority, which
they declare is aligned against
Lorimer, to change their vote.
They said Lorimer would be
stripped of his senatorial toga by
margin of at least ten votes.
Senator Jones (republican,
Washington), also member Of
the investigating committee, fol-
lowed with a speech In favor Of
Lorimer. He announced that he
would vote for Lorimer, although
in the first trial he voted against
him. The testimony In the last
hearing and the character Of the
witnesses had caused him to
cahnge his mind. Jones said.
An impression prevails
throughout the country" Jones
declared, that vote for Lori
mer is a vote in favor of brib-
cry and corruption. regret
that impression and believe some-
thing should be done to correct
the lack of respect people have
for public men,. There is tend
ency to recognize. public clamor
and yield to it's demands.
think senator's should act fear
lessly and according to their con-
victions."
Interrupting, Senator Smith OF
Michigan protested vigorously
against the insinuation that sem
ators could be influenced by
popular sentiment.

"The condition just now Is very
hopeful. 1t is the difference be-
tween actual depression and a
feeling of exhilaration," said p.
H. Kaufman, president of the
State Bankers association and
head of the Fidelity Trust bank.
There is no question but that
the lumber industry is feeling
better In this state, and this
means a revival of activity all
along the line"
I'VE had the best days business
on July that we ever had in the
history of the company on the
day before a big holiday" Is the
statement of Davis & Smith COM
pany. Stone-Fisher company and
Rhodes Brothers express the same
sentiment, declaring the business
of thei- places on Fourth week
beat all records.
The hotel men, restaurants and
cafes naturally feel enthusiastic
over Fourth week.
But the general business as
shown by the bank figures and
by the general business activity
indicates that the depression is
about to break up and business be
resumed.
The final word in the busi-
ness barometer. however, is bank
clearings. They show the actual
business being transacted. Here
Is the record:
Tacoma bank clearings for
first six months of 1911, $1O8,-
76,389.15.
Tacoma bank clearings for
first six months Of 1912, 1921,
4O1, ,795.27.
This shows gain of over $13,-

TO
AID IN PROBE
Of HANFORO
NIGHT SESSIONS WILL BEGIN
MEMBERS OF SEATTLE
BAR ASSOCIATION TO AID.
(By United Press Leased wire.) }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, July 10.-Laying
final emphasis upon the salient
point in his testimony that Judge
Hanford, after starting out to dis
cover whether scoundrels were
practicing in his court" as the
Judge himself had expressed it.,
then completely covered up the
facts, according to the witness,
showed dubious practicse of Rich
ard A. Ballinger, ex-secretary of
the interior, Attorney Gerold l..
Finch this morning concluded his
testimony before the Hanford i'm
parchment probe committee. He
had been on the stand since Mon
day afternoon.
The committee has determined
to begin night sessions to take up
the examination of documentary
evidence. Upon the request of
Chairman Graham meeting of
the Seattle Bar association will
be held Friday night to appoint
a committee to aid the investi-
gators in getting all the facts in
the Hanford case.
While much of the testimony
given by Finch involved details
of the Hickman and Hanson
bankruptcy case which practical
ly placed Ballinger. and other at
torneys on trial, Judge Hanford's
judicial attitude came in for Sc
we're censure on the ground that
he not only. deliberately refused
to take cognizance of charges of
gross frauds which led to the con-
fiscation of 100000 estate for
debts aggregating about s23,00O
but that from the bench he
threatened to disbar Finch for
making those charges.
Finch alleged that he came TO
Judge Hanford iwth complaint
that five creditors having total
claim against HecKman and Han
son of $4,000 showed susicious-
ly active interest In the case to
the extent of spending more
money than their claims in secnr-
ing the appointment of a trustee
in bankruptcy and submitting a
report that the voluntary bank
rupts had no assets whatever.
Hanford,' not knowing at that
time Ballinger's connection with
the case, was indignant, Finch
said, and ordered Referee Eben
Smith to take testimony which
Finch produced. When 1t de-
veloped- that these five creditors
were law clerks In Ballinger's of
fee, Judge Hanford turned
complete somersault and became
indignant at Finch, the latter tes-
titled.
Attorney j. l.. Finch related
the final details of the alleged
conspiracy in the Hickman &
Hansen bankruptcy case, involv-
ing R. A. Ballinger, Judge Han
ford and others.
The witness revealed every in
cident of the affair, and gave
evidence which he alleged show
ed that Hanford as Judge protect
ed Ballinger as an attorney, and
prevented Finch from re-opening
the case.
Ballinger was an Interested
spectator at the hearing this
morning and smiled when Finch
told how Hansen went to sleep
a comparatively rich man with
Ballinger as his attorney and
awoke a pauper with Ballinger as
the attorney against him"
