WOMAN FAvORS
PUNISHMENT
BY DEATH
SEVEN WOMEN LEFT IN JURY
BOX TO BE EXAMINED FOR
TRIAL OF FRED BREHAN,
CHARGED WITH MURDER
OF FRED HORST.

Widespread sentiment against
capital punishment is apparently
going to make IL increasingly diff
ficult for the state to get juries
to try murder cases I'm Washing
ton If the Legislature fails to wipe
out the death penalty.
The trial of Fred Brehan was
called before Judge Clifford this
morning for the killing of Fred
Horst. The attorneys spent ali
forenoon In examining six pros
pective jurors, three of whom de-
clared themselves opposed to cap
ital punishment. Mabel Bates
and II. X. Rockhill were excused
because of their opposition to the
death penalty and ID. ii. Deets,
who declared himself likewise OPP
posed was passed for cause by the
state only when he declared he
would disregard his conscientious
scruples on the question and fol-
low the instructions of the court.
Ida Swanson, another prospec-
tive juror examined, was waver-
Ing in her ideas as to whether or
not there should be capital pun
ishment. ]. b. Crawford and
Sarah Oliver were the only jurors
examined who seemed to be not
Fopposed to the death penalty from
their answers to the attorneys.
AT the noon recess there were
seven women left in the Jury
box and five men.
The re-examination was taken
up again at 2 O'CLOCK.
Fred Brehan, the accused. ap-
peared in court covered with
scars. He Is held with his BROTH
er John Brehan and fellow Rus
sian, Peter Brensel, for the mur-
der of Fred Horst at 21st and O
streets in a neighborhood fued in
January. d
The row started between two
members Of the Horst and Brehan
families In saloon In the after
noon. In the evening both sides
came out and there was a pitched
battle in the street with knives
and guns.
iloist was ie1C dying and Fred
Brehan was also thought to be fa-
tally injured. Doctors sewed up
over so stab wounds on Brehan
and he recovered.
III he is convicted Brensel and
John Brehan will be tried.
Teats, Metzler G Teats are de-
tending and w. d. Askren prose-
cutting the case.
Apparently the entire Russian
population of the city was ON
hand for witnesses.
The case was delayed half an
hour at the opening by a demur-
rer to the complaint which was
drawn under the old instead of
the new law. BY mutual agree
ment Prosecutor Askren was fin-
ally allowed to quash the old COM
plaint and draw new one and
the case went on then under the
new information.

GIT COSTS LESS"
Three New Lines at Tacoma.
Tacoma Information League
CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER III.
We all realize the value of an
additional railroad to town,
particularly when that town is
a terminal. The Point Defi-
ance line of the Northern Pa
cific railway is practically
three new railroads, the Great
Northern, the O.-W., and North
ern Pacific. When you stop to
consider that it is the only
double track water grade line
to the ocean from the interior
1t certainly is not only three
new railroads for Tacoma, but
is the nearest to ideal perfec-
tion of any of the lines that
have come to the coast.
When the Northern Pacific
railroad first built to Taco
ma 1t was not so much the
traffic they were after. There
was scarcely any here at that
time. They built zig-zag across
the country and over the noun
tains to acquire as much tim
Der and mineral lands as pos
sible. Every odd numbered
section of land for forty miles
on either side was given to
them by the government. But
now with increased traffic and
other railroads in competition
for this traffic. the great Hill
and Hartman lines have seen
fit to spend over seventy mil
lions of dollars in constructing
these new water grade lines to
deep water in Tacoma to COM
pete for the increased traffic,
and that which will develop
even more rapidly with the
opening of the Panama canal.
We all know it must be much
cheaper for railroad to haul
freight over water grade
line to an ocean terminal than
to haul the same freight over
the mountains; one engine to
sixty cars on the level and one
engine to twenty cars over
the mountains.
The Hill and Hartman roads
thought of making Tillamook
bay on the Pacific, ninety miles
west of Vancouver. Wash, the
port for the Columbia canyon
haul, but they abandoned this
idea and are building this new
water grade line from Vancou-
yer, WASH, to Tacoma. This
obviates the necessity of cross
ing the coast range to Tilla-
nook.
This new double track. water
grade line to Tacoma from
Vancouver, Wash, will be done
this fall.
Where the traffic centers in
a world port there commerce
thrives and cities grow.
Tacoma is now due. "It costs
less" here at Tacoma.

NEW PLAN NOW FOR
REFUNDING CITY BONDS

A brand new scheme for the
refunding of the $2,100;000 Of
bonds was adopted by. the city
council this morning on recon
mendation of Commissioner Tree
land who extended the serial bond
feature adopted by the council
Monday to make more equitable
graduated payment on the bonds.
This plan will in the whole 20
years cost $4,000 more in inter-
est than the one adopted Monday
but it Is deemed a more scientific
scheme and will work less hard
ship on the taxpayers as it will
be distributed better.

The new board Of governors it appears.

any storm that may occur in the future
All this, of course, should not be con-

In 1912 was $1,000 as compared with a
