ANNEXATION TEST is
HELD OFF FEW DAYS
Case Involving Criminal Jurisdiction
Is Deferred Pending Several
More Conferences

Pending the outcome of several con-
ferences that are to take place within
the next few days. at which the An
nexation law will be discussed, the
test case arranged by Deputy States
Attorney Roland r. Marchant and
William H. Lawrence, representing
Daniel Dixon, eolored, has been defer
red for the present.
II was planned yesterday to have
the matter heard before one of the
judges of the Supreme Bench this
morning, but in view of the meeting
today of the men who framed the act,
Mr. Marchant and Mr. Lawrence an
nounced that they would hold off for
a few days.
The habeas corpus, applied for in
this case" said Mr. Marchant, will
open up so many points of importance
that we are of the opinion it would
be best to wait for a while in order
to map out a plan whereby to test and
settle all questions involved"
The Dixon case hinges on the ques-
ton of jurisdiction in criminal mat
tiers, as between the county and city
criminal tribunals, and the question
involved is whether the Annexation
act, for purposes of criminal proseeu-
tons. went into effect on June L. or
will become operative on January /.

TEACHING WHICH is
VITALITY IMPORTANT

1. The barbarity of which humani-
~ is still capable furnishes abundant
proof of the imperative need of hui
name education, and this country
should set the example of having it
systematized in all schools. There
should be no more question of giving
child humane education than there
is of teaching him to read
2. 1t should begin in the kindergar-
tireperiod of school life.
8. II should be one of the topics at
all teachers institutes. so that teach
ers may become interested-and quail
fed.
A. Articles on the Subject should APP
| pear from time to time in educational
journals and so far as is possible, in
the public press.
5. The discussion of it shiuld be en-
couraged at meetings of parent teach
! ers associations.
6. 1t should be on the program at
annual meetings of the National
Teachers Association.
Z. All school Libraries should con-
4 tain books of reference to assist the
teacher in making the subject attrac-
tive to the pupils and by showing how
TO save time through correlation with
other studies.
Humane Education laws do not gen
orally provide that this instruction
should continue throughout the entire
school course, and it is because legis-
I lators are usually blind to the fact
/ that true humane education, although
I it begins by teaching sympathy with,
and Justice and kindness toward our
little brothers of the animal world, by
no means ends there. but develops or
/ should develop into the cultivation of
/ the highest ideals of justice, mercy,
the protection of the weak. in word
the realization of our correct relation
toward our fellowmen, the evolution OF
our primal egoism into the higher
\ altFuism.

KEEP ZINC AWAY
FROM YOUR PRESERVES

Do not use galvanized utensils in
making preserves, jellies, or fruit
juices, the Bureau of Chemistry of
the United States Department of
Agriculture advises. Some of the
zinc with which the vessels are gal
vanized may be changed to salts of
zinc which will give tn eproduct an
acrid and astringent taste and render
it unsuitable for human use. More
over, the dissolving of this zinc coat
ing tends to ruin the container. The
use of galvanized utensils for boiling
down fruit juice is especially risky.

CONFESSION REVEALS CAMP
 LEWIS BLACKMAIL PLOT

TACOMA: How blackmail is being practiced on soldiers of the Wild West division at Camp Lewis was re- vealed today through the confession of a Tacoma girl whose mother sought to use the Y. w. c. A. hostess house and the military authorities to force a marriage between her daughter and the son of a multi-millionaire serv- ing as private at the cantonment.
 No names were given out, but the military authorities say that investi- gation thoroughly disproved the story told by the girls mother, and that the girl finally broke down and confess ed the plot, saying that she was fore ed to play the role she did by her mother
 The soldier first met the girl at a dance at a Tacoma church. At the urgent request of the mother, he vis-

to present his compliments to von Diedrichs and to inform him of his extraordinary disregard of the us- uaI courtesies of naval intercourse.
 An important feature of this affair was the attitude of the British squad ron. The British admiral practically informed Admiral Dewey that clash between the American and German fleets would find the English squad ron supporting the Stars and Stripes. The British warships were so maneu- vered that von Diedrichs could have no misunderstanding of their inten- tion.
 That this incident was not due en tirely to personal bumptiousness on the part of the German admiral is shown by his reply to Dewey and by the attitude of Germany towards the issues of the Spanish war. In his autobiography, under date of 1905, Andrew D. White, former am- bassador to Berlin, wrote:
 Men who stood high in the univer- sities, men of the greatest amiability, who in former days had been the warmest friends of America had now become our bitter opponents, and some of their expressions seemed to point to eventual war"
 On the other hand the friendly at- titude of Great Britain served to ann eliorate the latent inherited hostility of many Americans to England and to cement the friendship of the two leading English-speaking nations.
