Drowned by inrushina Waters.

Nanaimo, B. C.-Twenty.one lives
were lost Tuesday at the South Wei.

company, when David Nillerst, fire
boss, fired a shot which broke through
into the old workings of the South.

company. a mine abandoned some
twenty years ago. The old workings
were filled with water and when the
shot broke through the inrushing
waters drowned all the men In the
section affected with the exception of
John Murdock, who succeeded in max.
ing his escape.
Among the victims of the disaster
are Joseph Foy, manager of the mine,
and David Nillerst, fire boss. Foy
was on the surface at the time, but
upon hearing that the old workings
were being tapped he went below
ground with the intention of getting
all the men to the surface. He
opened a trap door OF the old stope
and was immediately met by food
OF water which hurled him against
the timbers. His body has not yet
been recovered.
Thomas Watson was working. his
Shift and, along with William Ander
son, had reached a place of safety
but they went back to rescue theil
partners and lost their lives. Mine
Inspector John Newton took charge OF
the situation and Immediately ordered
big pumps installed to pump out the

the victims. 1t is expected it will
take two months time to reach them
owing to the swampy nature of the
ground and the extensive workings OF
the old Southfeld mine.

PLACES CURB ON
FEDERAL JUDGES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN.
TENDS TO STOP PRACTICE OF
SUSPENDlNG SENTENCES.
Attorney General Asserts Custom Has
Been Cause of Much Complaint
and That It Will Not Be Tol-
Grated in Future.

Washington. Attorney General
Gregory has notified all United States
district attorneys that in the future
the department of justice does not in.
tend to sit idly by and permit federal
judges to suspend indefinitely either
the imposition or execution of sen.
tence on a convicted criminal.
In a circular letter to his assistants
Mr.. Gregory, pointing out that the
practice of indefinite suspension of
sentence has long prevailed in many
districts, says:
mo court has such a power 1t is
in effect pardon or commutation,
Nor may court exercise it indirectly,
by a continuance of the case from
term to term for sentence or by other
similar device.
This custom has been the cause of
much complaint, and has tended some
what to discredit the administration
OF the criminal law in the federal
courts.
III future you Will protest against
and object to any motions or requests
for such suspension order, ana report
the making of the order to this de.
partment, that it may take the neces.
sary steps to compel the issuance OF
commitment upon any such sentence
Because this involves an attack
upon a practice heretofore tolerated
proper courtesy to the judicial officer
requires that he be advised in ad
vance that the department finds IL
necessary in future to oppose these
orders. You will kindly convey this
information to each judge of your dis
trict and at the same time offer
should any Judge doubt this limitation
of his judicial power, to furnish ref
erence to decisions relating thereto
which reference the department al
your request will furnish"

Did He Get Him?

Hardly was the Republican off the
press last week when it's many hum
dreds of readers began clamorEng to
know about the story of the Clutch
ing Hand" which created no little
cons .ernat.on, especially among the
lady readers of the city, but we hard
ly expected the gentlemen to be-
come perturbed, or unudly apprehen-
isve. Imagine our surprise Monday
morning when casually glancing out
of the office window, to see our
genial deputy assessor, Christ Hend-
ricks, Jr., with his sample case, dodg-
ing around the corner of the Stock
growers bank, first one way and
then another, but then, perhaps he
was after wary taxpayer who was
lodging up and down the ALLEY.
Our innocent announcement of
serial story, '"The Exploits of Elaine" i"
to be rum in connection with films
at the Crystal Theatre was the cause
of not little excitement, and proves
our ins stent and oft repeated asser-
tions that it pays to advertise in the

DECISION OF JUDGE
DIETRICH AFFIRMED
{. E. Corker Wins Final Round in
Case Against Stockgrowers
State Bank

Judge Howie received notice from
the clerk of the Circuit Court of ap-
peal Tuesday morning that the deci-
sion OF Judge Dietrich, U. 8. District
Judge, had been affirmed in the case
IN which c. E. Corker, as trustee i'm
bankruptcy, had brought suit against
the two local banks, asking that the
mortgage whereby they held the
Trathen furniture stock and pro-
seeds from collection of book ac-
counts be set aside as lit gave the
banks an illegal preference over other
creditors. While i'm this particular
case the amount involved is not great
the question of obtaining, or attempt
ing to obtain illegal preference over
other creditors made the case one
of no little Importance, and it was
most vigorously contested i'm the trial
court in all its phases. Attorneys

Corker, the trustee in bankruptcy and
Mesars. Wyman of Boise and e. M.
Wolfe and L. B. Green of Mountain
Home represented the banks. The
decision rendered was in favor of
Mr.. Corker, from which decision the
Stockgrowers State Bank appealed to
the circuit court of appeals. The
appeal was heard by that court sev-
eral weeks ago at Portland with the
result as above stated of its affirm
ing the Judgment of the trial court.
In conversation with Mr.. Corker, he
informs us that he will take charge
of the furniture as soon as possible,
and use every means to convert it i'm |
to cash as speedily as possible, and
close the matter which has already |
been running some three years or
more.

CELLO CANAL TO
Be OPENED In MAY
Arrangements Being Made For Big
Celebration at Lewiston
Under Way.

/ In May the extensive work which
! has received the attention of the
federal Government for years at
Celilo ON the Columbia river involv-
ng the construction of what is known
IS the Cello canal will be completed,
cost to The Government OF ap-
CXimately 100000. The COM
.jIetion OF this work will enable boats
rom the sea of capacity up to four
ndred tons to make the rum to
evils on, approximately five hum
dred miles INLAND, while similar dis
tances can be reached on the upper
Columbia. The consummation of the
work has been viewed as being of
such vast industrial importance to tn
entire Northwest that all of the cities
located upon and tributary to the
Columbia and Snake have Joined i'm
the celebration plan The initial
feature of which will be held at Lewis
ton, Idaho, on May 3rd, when a large
fleet of river boats will assemble
after having made the run through
the Canal from the lower river. The
celebration will be unofficially under
the auspices of the War Department
of the Federal Government, as the
river work is carried out under that
branch of the Government. The Gov
ernors of the four Northwest states
have signified their intention of at
tending, with the presence assured
also of scores of United States sena-
tors and representatives, the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of Congress
and men of like prominence of large
industrial commercial organizations
A tentative feature of the program
provides for excursions from Lewis
ton to the sea at the cooncluSion of
the celebration here. The interest
displayed throughout the four states |
places the completion of the Cello |
canal and the developments logically |
to follow in the way of waterpower
development on the upper river
streams as the greatest industrial de-
velopment in the history of the North
Pacific region, and conditions indi-
cate the largest gathering of prom
inent men of the Nation ever held i'm
the Northwest.
The completion of the Cello canal
at this time, just when the great
Panama waterway is to be placed in
service, gives to the Northwest water
ways interests an additional promi-
hence and vast benefits it lis felt
ire to accrue through opportunity to
tTect the attention of thousands of
visitors who will be passing through
he west to the Exposition at San
francisco to the advantage found
lere.
In planning the celebration, Lewis
on is cooperating with the COM
nerclal organizations of Portland, AS
ora, The Dalles, Pasco, Kennewick,
spokane, Waila WalIa Pendleton and
'ther cities, and large delegations
rom these points will make the trip
o Lewiston either by boat or train.
Me program will include am elabor-
tie might water fete, participated i'm
" boats representing the several
it,es of the lower Columbia with
mique electrical effects and many
ther features of interest.
