BIBLES TO SOLDIERS.
Sunday School Children Give $4,000
toward Distribution at Front.

Princeton, n. 1.-THE Rev. Dr. John
Fox of New York, secretary of the
American Bible society, told a group
of friends Of the society who assem-
bled at the university that Sunday
school children had contributed more
than $4,000 to provide European sol
diers with Bibles and that more than
100000 copies of Testaments had been
sent to the front.
The Rev. A. c. Tucker missionary
who has spent years in Brazil, told of
the distribution of Bibles in that coun-
try.

posing the railroads would take this

NORTHWEST NEWS

In denying separate trials for Mayor
Hiram Gill and chief Of police
Rockingham Of Seattle, and over-ruling
the demuners filed by former Sheriff
Bob Hodge and quartet Of indicted
police detectives, Federal Judge
Neterer has cleared the way for trial OF
all the Seattle booze-ring cases on their
merits. The results are now simply
matter OF evidence. The trials will
begin some time early in March, and
it is expected that the better part oil
month will be needed for the hearings.
While the indictments continue to be
an absorbing topic Of conversation in
Seattle most pc Jple seem inclined to
give the accused men the benefit OF
every possible doubt 1t is pointed
out, however, that federal grand jurles
have seldom acted on frivolous grounds,
and that federal court procedure is
considerably removed from the influence
of politics which sometimes has effect
upon state courts. No one except the
federal authorities know much OF the
evidence that has been accumulated,
but everyone agrees that it would
hardly have been possible for the boot
leggers TO operate on such a big scale
without some sort official connivance.
The Young Mems Republican Club
OF King county scored another big sue
cess in the Lincoln Day banquet,
given in the new Masonic Temple at
Seattle Saturday evening, February 10.
The members of the state legislature
and republican state officials, almost
to the last man, were brought over
from Olympia on a special steamer as
the guests OF the club, and the seating
capacity OF the banquet tables was sold
out among local and neighborhood re-
publicans many days before the event.
The speeches were good and the occa-
sion a happy one in every respect.
Phil Hambrecht returned from Spo-
kane where he was witness in the U.
S. court in the case against the five
managers OF the trading companies who
were charged with using the U. S.
Mail to defraud the public. The four
managers and J. c. Lawrence we're in
dicted together. Lawrence was ac-
quilted by the jury. Mr.. Hambrecht
was there twelve days. The trial OF
the case lasted more than two weeks
and cost upwards Of eight thousand
dollars. Gale Smite, S. 7. Knudson,
Clyde L. Davies and DIN c. Fowler,
four of the five defendants on trial in
the federal court for alleged fraudulent
use OF the mails, were found guilty in
a verdict reported into court at p. m.
yesterday.
John c. Lawrence, jointly indicted
with the others, was found not guilty
and ordered discharged.
By its verdict the jury holds that the
