STATE RESTS
ITS CASE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
BELLINGHAM, Feb. with
five or six more witnesses to tes-
tify briefly, the state will today
rest its case against Jacob Furtii,
Daniel Kelleher, K. w. Andrews
and II. v. Ankeny, the Seattle Ma
tional bank officers accused OF
conspiracy to aid w. Il. Schricker
to receive deposits after his banks
insolvency had been known 20
them.
Extended legal argument will
be made on the motion by the
defense for directed verdict of
not guilty. The contention of the
defense is that the state failed to
show actual knowledge of the
banks insolvency ON the part of
the Seattle men until one day be-
fore it closed it's doors and that
no evidence of conspiracy was in
troduced. The state, while ad-
mitting that no actual knowledge
of Schricker's insolvency had been
conveyed to the Seattle bankers,
contends they nevertheless knew
it from all of the circumstances
in the case and from the CORES
pondence between Schricker and
themselves.
Fourteen witnesses were called
Friday afternoon.

TRAIN
BANDIT
FLEES

(Uni ed Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The dcpre-
dations of Jesse James, the
Younger brothers and other old
time desperadoes, were backed
off the boards here today by the
operations of lone bandit who.
last night held up an express train
in the heart of ChicagO's business
district and fought his way to
freedom wi h loot variousIy esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $780,
900.
The robbery, one of the boldest
in Chicago's history, was the
work of a steel nerved man.
Using a blue silk handkerchief
for mask, the bandit forced the
express messenger to turn over
the key to the safe containing the
entire receipts at the Union stock
yards. The contents were thrown
into a leather bag and the bandit
started to leave the car.
The conductor, armed with a
revolver, attempted to block the
fobberS path but was knocked
down by blow from the robbers
fist. Then the bandit jumped
from the train and, mingling with
the theater crowds in the street.
escaped.
The robbed train is known as.
the Stock Yards Special" and Is
used to carry money and valuable
express packages between the.
stock yards and the down town
district. Although the chief clerk
of Adams Express company stated
today that the loss is not more
than $4,000, the police insisted
that the train never carried less
than $4,000, and asserted that
the loss would exceed the latter
figure.

SON IS
AGAINST
MOTHER

Although she had kissed him

famished for wanting TO see him,
Frederick Jones, wire chief for

Seattle, was willing witness to-
day against his mother, Mrs. EN-

that would be afforded by her es-
tate, the son was not backward
about relating to the court the
little peculiarities in his mothers
conduct while she was on the
verge of nervous prostration over
her husbands unfortunate death.
Young Jones, who, the attor-
neys for his mother say, IS squan-
dering the little fortune that was
left by the father to keep the
mother from want during the rest
of her life, carefully avoided
meeting his mothers glance while
he sat on the witness stand.

WIRELESS DOSE
CURES AT SEA

PORTLAND, Feb. l.
Coming up the coast from
San Francisco, Capt. Spen-
Ger, master of the Standard
? Oil steamship Maverick, had
a sick sailor on his hands.
He couldn't diagnose the
case. When the vessel was
off the Columbia river a
heavy fog settled down and
the tanker had to remain
outside.
In the meantime the con-
dition of the sick sailor was
growing worse. Unable to
bring the steamer inside for
I several hours, the skipper
sent a wireless message to
DR.. Tuttle of Astoria, de-
scribing the patients symp-
toms and asking him to pre-
scribe for him.
After the exchange of sew
eral messages, the physician
forwarded a prescription,
! which Capt. Spencer pro-
ceeded to fill from remedies
carried in the medicine
chest. He gave the tar
dose and he soon recovered.

IHURRAH? TACOMA'S BIG BRIDGE is READY
WILL BE OPEN FOR
TRAFFIC SUNDAY

Tacoma's new half million dol
lar bridge is ready for service.
1t will be thrown open for foot
traffic tomorrow morning and
will be ready for teams by Tues
day. 1t cannot be lowered to
the approach level until the old
bridge has the top taken off.
This is the first vertical lift
bridge in the Northwest outside
of Portland and is the finest
bridge in this state. Tests in rails
ing and lowering the big span
show it to work as smooth as q
fine elevator.
The main bridge contract call
ed for $4S5,000. In addition TO
this the lower deck was put in at
$4,000 and the east approach
cost $23, 900, making the bridge
as it stands today $543,O0O..
The vertical lift was put in her
because in the first place 1t was
cheaper and in the second place
it is stronger than a bascule type.
When the first city commission
adopted this bridg. a mighty howl
went up. 1t is entirely silenced
now.
The city has rails laid across
the bridge and is ready to put
street car traffic across as soon
as line can be projected onto
the flats. The bridge itself 1t is
expected will help greatly in tide
flat development.
