GOV. |. F. HART
OVERRULED BY
JUDGE SMITH

That Governor Hart acted unwisely
in vetoing the appropriation for the
maintenance of the Women's In
dustrial Home and Clinic at Medical
Lake, and at the institution is still
legally in existence, were the two
important decisions of Judge Ev-
erett Smith in superior court of
King County, Thursday, the 5th
The question of the legal existence
of the home arose when writ of
habeas corpus for the release of
Lucille Brown, committed to that in
stitution, was presented by Adam
Beeler, Seattle attorney, who is rep
resenting the club women of Wash
ington.
The writ of habeas corpus was de-
MED, but Judge Smith recommended
that a woman bailiff be appointed
to take the girl to the defunct
clinic Attorneys interpreting this
decision say that if this program is
followed the director of the board
of business control will be charged
with contempt of court.
Judge Smith also questioned the
authority of Governor Hart in clos
ing the home, as it is organized on
the same basis as the county jail
or penitentiary and must be main
tanned regardless of appropriation.
"That the institution is legal and
in existence; the intention of the
people expressed through the legisla-
ture, it shall remain in existence;
but we have an executive who, IN
his zeal for economy, unWisely in
this case, in the judgment of most
PEOPLE | think, cut off the appro-
priation," commented Judge Smith
in his final decision. "The institu-
tion's purpose or object is humane;
it is not intended for punishment,
but for reformation and recreation
of inmates physically, and mainly
that they might become useful men,
bers of society"
After the hearing Adam Beeler
said he would make the request to
have woman appointed to take
the girl to the clinic as Judge Smith
had recommended.
Judge Smiths decision upholds the
ruling of Justice of the Peace Dal-
ton. who committed the Brown girl
to the Womens Industrial Home.
Order to have the Brown girl COM
mtted to the home and clinic, rec
commended by judge Smith, was
signed by him last Friday.
Speculation as to what will de-
velop when the Brown girl arrives
at the closed institution accompanied
by woman guard are being dis
cussed by attorneys. If she is or
dered back to the county jail an
other write of habeas corpus will be
filed in superior court; meanwhile
the director of the Board of Con-
. troll, T. w. Skaggs, will be charged
with contempt of court, and a writ
of mandamus signed by a repre-
sentative of every women's club In
the state of Washington compelling
Governor Hart to open the institu-
tion will be filed.
The Judge said that the Governor
"zeal for economy, unwisely in this
case, in the judgment of most peo-
pie | think, cut off the appropria-
ton" meaning the appropriation for
maintenance of the Women's Indus
trial School and Clinic at Medical
Lake.
No, it was not zeal for economy
that actuated the Governor, but he
did it to make a show of economy
to the people He cut off little
but appropriations for schools and
charitable institutions and created
in the public mind a feeling of just
resentment.

Sixth, Short, in statements made
before the Executive Council adj
mitted that he had searched my
desk and found therein certain
things. Does his position as Presi-
dent Of the Federation give him the
right to open the drawers of the
desk of the Secretary and rifle them
in search of what-not in the hope
of finding something that will prove
incriminating In addition to hav-
ing no rights or authority, am to
understand that ! am also to be
deprived of even the semblance of
privacy? Or is he just carrying out
the theory that "the king can dc

PRINTERS ARE
WINNING THEIR
44-HOUR WEEK

Indianapolis, Ind, May 9.-The
number of men still involved in the
nationwide strike of printers con-
tinued to dwindle, according to J.
w. Hays, secretary of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union. Re
ports of settlements in individual
shops are being received daily, Hays
said. Agreements were signed at
Yonkers, N. Y, Denver and San
Jose, Calf, Saturday night.
Little is seen in Associated Press
dispatches about the strike, prob
ably because the closed shop men
are in a losing game and the A. P.
doesn't like that sort of news.

Big Time April 4

The evening of April will be a
jolly time In Kendrick, if the pro-
gram which has been arranged by
the lyceum committee is carried
out. The Garner Jubilee Singers a
troupe of coIored musicians will
entertain Kendrlck audience with
varied program consisting mostly
of musical numbers. These mu-
slclans come highly recommended
and will undoubtedly present very
entertaining program.
The following clipping was taken
from the Gazette-Times, published
at Corvallis, Oregon:
The Garner Jubilee Singers
made good last night at the High
School auditorium where they sang
till late at night to crowded
house. The lateness of the hour
when the concert closed was the re-
suit of repeated encores.
Mr.. Garner as first tenor display
ed voice of remarkable sweetness
as we'll as power. Mr.. Hamilton
had an unusually good baritone.
The second tenor also exhibited a
solo voice Of pleasing capacity, so
that these three, with the ensemble,
make up more than ordinarily
good aggregation.
The bass did the clown work with
out the usual coarseness that is so
often concomitant part of negro
musical performance, and Re got
many spontaneous laughs and pro-
longed applause.
The company was at its best IN
ensemble and especially in the old
negro religious hymns and meIo-
dies. The soloists also varied the
program with number of high
grade concert selections including
number from grand opera. All
showed plainly that they were not
just natural singers, but that
their voices had had considerable
cultivation.
After the lyceum program the
American Legion boys will have
charge of a dance, the music being
furnished by negro jazz orchestra.
This Will be an innovation for the
people of this community to have
the opportunity of dancing to music
furnished by negro orchestra.

Implement Repair Week

Considerable interest is being
shown on the part of the farmers IN
Repair Week, which is being featur-
ed by the Kendrick Hardware Co.
this week. This is an annual affair
with this prosperous firm. Repre-
sentatives from the International
Harvester Co. have been here all
week demonstrating the desirable
points OF the various farm i'm
plements in the store.
Much OF an educational nature
has been done at these meetings.
While the average man knows the
fundamental points in the operation
OF farm implements used IN this
locality, still there are many fea-
lures with which he is not familiar.
A better knowledge of the machine
and thus more efficient results from
1t, was the primary motive in hold
ing this week of practical demon
strations of farm implements.
The attendance was curtailed
somewhat on account of the bad
roads, but those who have attended
are we'll satisfied and consider
their time we'll spent.

To Build Community Hall

The Stag Club of Big Bear ridge
met last week to formulate plans
for the building of community
hall. There was a good attendance
at the meeting and the members of
the Club were enthusiastic over the
idea. 1t was decided definitely to
begin work Immediately.
The plans, as outlined at the meet
ing call for building 40 feet wide
and 70 feet long, which, it was
thought would be ample for any,
thing IN the entertainment line that
would be given on the ridge.
Bill Hecht offered strip of
ground near the Steele school house
for the building and all present
volunteered to donate money and
labor to put up the hall. Logs
were sawed and taken to the mill
this week and will be sawed INTO
lumber next week. The logs were
donated, the labor of saving will
be donated and the use OF the saw
mill has been donated, so there
will be no cash outlay tied up IN the
lumber.
There are approximately fifty
members of the Club. 1t is estimat-
ed that if each member will donate
between eight and ten dollars and
a week or more of work, the build
ing can be completed.
1t is planned to add kitchen to
one end OF the building. A ten-foot
space will be cut off for the stage
and another ten feet fer cloak
rooms, leaving floor space of 40 by
5O feet.
The hall will be used for all kinds
OF social affairs, which have been
heretofore held in the school house.
The soclals, parties and entertain
ments have been so we'll attended
that 1T was thought necessary to
put up building large enough to
accommodate the crowds in a COM
Portable manner. The splendid
spirit of cooperation which is max
ing the building possible deserves
the utmost commendation.

Over The County

Deary Press: Bracelets and anklets
OF copper wire have suddenly be-
come stylish here. The wire when so
worn is claimed to be an infallible
cure for rheumatism, as we'll as a
preventative of this malady. You
wear the wire on the right wrist
and the left ankle, or vice versa, we
forget which. The idea seems to be
to get cross current going or
something. Anyway thev say it
renders rheumatism So painless that
it is pleasure to have it.
Troy News: John &. Strohm re-
ports novelty on his ranch in the
way of a we'll. This we'll is about
$50 feet deep. 1t has always been
full of splendid drinking water.
But prior to storms becomes muddy,
the water gets very thick and when
you take it out and touch match
to it, it will burn for some time.
Ordinarily the we'll, when it be-
comes this way will clear up in
short time out this spring it turned
March the 7th and still remains that
way. 1t is on south slope and he is
satisfied that the cause of it burn
ing is that 1t contains oil. An in
vestigation will soon be made to
see what it really is.
Star Mirror: The question is ask
ed many times: "When do the new
laws passed by the legislature. be-
come effective?" C. j. Hugo, re-
preventative from Latah county
answers the question for readers of
this paper. Mr.. Hugo said: "All
bills which contain no emergency
clause become laws 60 days after
the adjournment of the legislature.
This legislature adjourned March 5
but it was supposed to adjourn
March 3 the last of the 60 days al
lowed by law. If the day of actual
adjournment is taken 1T woud be 60
days from March or May 4. If it
is ruled that the legislature ad-
jeurned March 8 the last day for
which members could collect pay it
would mean thev go into effect May
2. Bills bearing an emergency
clause become laws upon being
signed by the governor. The anti
cigarette law bore no emergency
clause and consequently becomes
law May 2 or May 4.

G.. K. Sackett a Suicide

Charles K. Sackett of Spokane,
for thirty years a resident of the
Cameron-Southwick community.
committed suicide Saturday night
by shooting himself through the
head with a .38 caliber revolver.
HIS body was found by his wife In
the kitchen of their home at 6
o'clock Sunday morning. He was
lying on the floor with the revolver
beside him. 1t is thought that des-
pondency because of ill health was
responsible for the tradgedy.
Mr.. Sackett had suffered from
asthma for several years and recent
ly returned from an extended visit
to California, after a futile effort
to relieve his suffering in the south
ern climate. So severe was his
affiiction that ottentimes, his wife
said, he was forced to sleep in a
chair, unable to breathe after lying
down. For that reason when he got
up Saturday night his family
thought nothing of it and were
stunned at their discovery in the
morning.
1t is beIieved, sitting alone in
the kitchen, almost breathless. in
his misery he decided to end his
suffering. He left no word to ex-
plain his act and neither his wife
nor his son heard the shot.
Three sons of Mr.. Sackett live
on the old homestead between Cam
eron and Southwick. They are
Elmer, Martin and Arthur. One
daughter, Mrs. Olson lives at Oro-
tino.
