stage INTERVENORS
GET COLD SHOULDER
Governor Hart Adheres to Rule
Deny Personal Interviews in
Clemency Matters.

When informed Tuesday by his Sec
rotary that Scott 2. Henderson, attor-
ney for Betty Brainerd and George
Stage, principals in the sensational
kidnapping case, Mrs. Edith Gum
ingham Stage, Mrs. Ada Cunningham.
grandmother of baby Stagg were
coming to the capitol Tuesday from
Tacoma and Seattle personally to
petition him for pardon for Stage,
who was sentenced on Saturday in
the Tacoma superior court to ten to
fifteen years in the state penitentiary
at Walla Walla, Governor Louis F..
Hart said that he would not vary
from the rule of long standing that
personal interviews would not be
granted on clemency matters.
However In accordance with the
usual custom he will read anything
which may be presented to him in
writing in this case as others as his
time would permit.
Many years ago 1t was recognized
that it is physically impossible f,r
any governor of this state to do JUS
tice in clemency matters and at the
same time transact business of the
state which involves the welfare of
the people as a whole.
II the governor granted a personal
interview In one clemency case, ne
would have to do so in all and the re-
suit would be that the whole OF his
time would be taken up with elem
ency matters and he would have no
time for questions involving the
people, or large portions thereof.
The governor works an average Of
Is hours per day on matters of policy,
therefore he cannot give his time to
details or matters involving q single
individual unless the same first comes
to him in the form Of report and rec
concentrations from the proper sub
ordinates. This obtains throughout
the state over which he has jurisdic-
ton as in clemency matters.

whether the growers wish their fields
inspected during the growing season
by the potato extension division SPEC
ialist. 1t is expected that the project
leaders in livestock, dairy, soils, and
crops will work together making the
survey for all communities in the en-
tire county all on these three lines.
1t was decided to make three drain
age demonstrations, one each in the
Northwest district, Little Rock and
Brighton Park. The demonstration
at Brighton Park will be given per-
sonally by A. B. Crane, the drainage
specialist between February 16 and
25, and the other two will be held
during the growing season, Mr.. Crane
going over the work when he finds
the time opportune.
The crop demonstration have been
assigned to definite plots except the
one at Grand Mound, the farms chosen
being those OF r. H. Goddard, ]. A..
Donnelly, Ed. Henderson, l.. F. Davis
J. B. Talyor and J. T. Sinclair. Those
who feel that they have had poor
crops on certain fields are urged to
plant them in hairy vetch either this
fall or early in the spring, according
to Mr.. Stookey. Experiments with
hairy vetch on lands in Grays Harbor
county have proved that it benefits
the soil besides raising cattle fodder
at home where formerly one hundred
or more tons of alfalfa were i'm
ported.

some thing be done TO give those

over a dangerous trail TO get to the

conditions get so that these bonds are
salable or should the legislature grant

OF John Bauer & Son last Sun. night
They made hasty exit and got a.
way without being recognized all
though Mr.. 81. Arnauld was close on
their tracks. He saw one of the men
as he ran out OF the back door but
couldn't distinguish his features. lIe
was a large man and wore a kaiki
shirt and hat
Mr.. St Arnauld had been posting
bills during the evening and about

and lay aside his overalls AS he OPP
ened the front door he heard a sour
rying TO the rear. He saw two forms
60 out the back door and another
making his way hastily, in a crouch
ing position to the rear. One light
was burning and as the man passed
under this light, Mr.. st. Arnauld saw
enough to distinguish his hat and
shirt and no more.
He rushed TO the rear but IL was
pitch dark and by the time he got out
into the alley, the thieves had made
their escape. The Bauer store has
been visited by thieves more frequ-
emily than all the other places in

TAILOR NAMED McLAlN TOOK

DESERTS HIS WIFE ALSO
Last Seen When He Boarded A
Train At Alpha Wednesday
Morning

A tailor named McLain, who ha.
been in the employ OF John Il. stol.
berg, entered the shop very early last
Wednesday morning, took about $500
worth Of suitings from the shelf, an
over coat intended for Dewey Bjork,
which he was working upon and was
about half completed, packed the ma
terial in q suit case belonging to one
Of the shop patrons, took all the
change in the till and left town.
He walked to Alpha and was wait
ing at the station when the agent at
that place arrived to open the station
He purchased ticket 10 Iron Noun
tain and when the morning passenger
arrived he boarded II and left for parts
unknown So far no tidings Of -s>im
has been received
Mr.. stolberg didn't suspect anything
was wrong until McLain's wife came
to the shop after dinner and asked for
her husband She said he got up
early and went TO the shop to work.
When he didn't come home for lunch
or dinner she grew suspicious and
started an inquiry.
Mr.. stolberg started to look around.
The BIork overcoat was missing. This
garment was about three-fourths com
pleted. He next noticed some small
boards, used to wrap suitings on, lay
Ing in the corner. and checking up
OF the stock showed several pieces
Gradually the true condition unfold
ed itself but 1t was late in the after
noon and the man had too much or
start to catch him at any nearby I
place.
The sympathy Of the community goes
out 70 his wife, who Il left stranded
and in poor circumstances. II de-
gelops that the couple had been mar
ried but six months, McLaln being her
second husband. She met him al Ev-
lnston, Ill, where both were employ
ID, and their acquaintance ripened in
. marriage. McLain came TO Mari
lette, where he and a man named Nor
lin engaged In the tailoring business.
NcLain then brought his wife to Mar
nette. She had some money which
lie succeeded in getting her to turn
,ver to him.
The Marinette business was not a
success and he came here to work for

workman and could have made good
asily had he wished TO work and be
