UNWRITTEN LAW GETS A BLACK EYE IN WASHINGTON "No Such Thing” Declares the Judge, and Jury Forthwith Finds Man Gu ilty. Spokane, Wash., March 6—Judge Wil liam A. Huenke, in superior court, has ruled that the "unwritten law” cannot receive consideration by the juries. ■'There- is no 'unwritten law' in Wash ington.” he said in his instructions to the twelve Jurors hearing the case of the state against A. J. Hosticka, charged with a statutory crime, adding, "you ere to be guided solely by the laws made by the legislature of this state.” This declaration of the futility of the "unwritten law" as a subterfuge for lawyers was called forth by the plea of Attorney Lossy, representing Hos ticka, that there is a course of life reg ulated by the law higher than that pre scribed by legislatures. The Jury, he said, should consider these higher statutes in passing opinion upon the merits of the case. After deliberating for less than an hour the jury brought in a verdict of pudty. The punishment for the crime, optional with the judge, varies from one year to a lifetime. RAILROADS WERE ONLY BLUFFING, SAYS COURT Lincoln, Neb., March 6.—Attorney General Thompson received a copy this morning of the decree of the federal supreme court in the railroad tax cases. It is even more sweeping than before given. The railroads lose on every point and there are halfi a dozen plain intima tions given by Justice Holmes, who wrote the decision, that the railroad attorneys began the suits as bluffs and when pinned down to the real issues before the court made a sorry showing. The court declares that the attorneys had no more right to drag members of the state board of equalization into court to quiz them how they ar rived at their valuations of the prop erty of roads, than to haul a Judge from the bench to ask him why he rendered a decision. It says in effect that while the railroads had a long list of grievances in their petitions when they came to put their case to the supreme court they abandoned most of them and upon the remainder failed to bring evidence to support their contents. , ROOSEVELT GIVES $100 FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF Washington, D, C., March 6.—Declar ing that Russia had been a friend to America In the past, President Roose velt in a letter to the Russian famine relief committee, of New York, made 1 oday a public appeal for contributions in behalf of the famine sufferers in that country.

Barrows, 135 East Fifteenth street, New York, will be properly acknowl edged and deposited with the Morton Trust company.

WIFE, BEATEN, ORDERED BY COURT TO WHIP MATE Kansas City Husband Whining, Pleads for Mercy and Wo man Grants It. Kansas City, Mo., March 6.—"Get a whip. Let this woman whip the man who beat her. That is the only way to make these brutes who beat their wives feel what they have done.” Judge Kyle made this order In police court after Mrs. Elmer Ogle had told a story of brutal abuse on the part of her husband. Lieutenant Snow, the court bailiff, secured a whip and handed it to the woman. Spectators in the court room straightened up, eager to see a man given a good thrashing. The order of the judge was without precedent in lo cal courts, and the audience crowded about to see the woman pay her hus band in the same kind of treatment she had received. "Don't whip me,” whined Ogle. “I’ll promise to do better in the future. I love you better than any person in the world. Don’t whip me, please.” The woman took the whip and raised her arm, but her face twitched with pain. ”1 can't do it,” she cried. “My arms are so sore from the beating he gave me that I can’t do it just yet. They're covered with black and blue marks and so sore I can hardly raise my hand. Send him to ihe workhouse, judge.” Ogle was fined $100, which meant nine months on the rock pile. He was taken to the workhouse. SPANISH QUEEN WILL HAVE TWINS, IS THE REPORT Vexed Legal and Political Question Would Then Be Raised as to Succession. Madrid, March 6.—Court circles are agitated by reports tnai the indica tions are the queen probably will have twins. Should this happen it would raise an interesting legal, medical and political question, besides being unique in royal history. This would be especially true in case the twins be girls and the only children of the kin". Such troubles as those of Carllst times are hardly likely, but disputes would be almost certain, because, not withstanding Spanish law declares that the first born twin is the older, and, therefore, has the right to succession, an old Spanish order reversed this and modern medical opinion supports the older law, declaring that the older child in case of twins is the last one to be born. SPANISH ANARCHISTS DENIED RIGHT OF JURY Madrid, March 6.—The government has taken an Important step in connec tion with the trials of persons charged with the commission or complicity in bomb outrages and other similar crimes of an anarchistic nature. As the juries are nearly always In fluenced by fear of the accused and so acquit them, the government has is sued a decree ordaining that in the provinces of Gerona and Barcelona •such cases shall no longer he tried by ,a jury, but by a bench of three magis I itrates. SENATE KILLED THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL Closing Hours of the Fifty Ninth Congress Were Very Tame. Washington, D. <March 6.—With a new record for large appropriations and far reaching legislation, the Fif ty-ninth congress was brought to a close shortly after noon Monday. The last few hours were tame by compari son with what had been expected. Long before noon Senator Gallinger’s tight for the passage of the ship sub sidy bill had been abandoned and his filibuster against it conducted by Sen ator Carmack being no longer neces sary, he surrendered the floor, much to the disappointment of the galleries. Extreme fatigue, due to continued night sessions in the house during the last week, had a dampening effect upon many congressmen and the usual excessive "last day enthusiasm" was confined to less than half the mem bers. President Roosevelt with his cabinet, White House staff and a number of guests occupied the president's room in the senate wing. Seated at a big table in the center of the room he signed bills as they were enrolled and pre sented to him. On account of the dis patch with which business has been condueted during the past week there were only forty bills to be signed to day. The president was at the capitol for more than an hour. He devoted most of the time to visiting with his cabinet, both the retiring and incoming mem bers being present, and in presenting them to personal friends of the senate and house. Retiring senators were received and nrllRnut ovoonlion (VlD mpuitl Dill Plf pressed regret that these lawmakers were to leave the service of the coun try. Especially warm was his reception to Senator Spooner, who Sunday an nounced his voluntary retirement. LA FOLLETTE SERVICE BILL PASSES BOTH HOUSES Washington, D.

LABOR FORCES ASK PROBE BY CONGRESS Washington, D. C., March 6.—Organ ized labor has asked congress to insti tute an investigation into all of the facts and circumstances attending the arrest in Colorado of Charles H. Moyer, William D. Haywood and George P. Pettibone, officers of the Western Fed eration of Miners, and their deportation to Idaho to stand trial on charges of complicity in the killing of ex-Gov ernor Stuenenberg. To that end Sen ator Carmack Introduced a petition signed by hundreds of workingmen and citizens, and also had printed in the rec ord the dissenting opinion of Associate Justice McKenna to the opinion of the supreme court of the United States that the court could not inquire into the circumstances surrounding the al leged kidnaping of the three men. Sen ator Heyburn secured an order for the printing of the minority opinion of the court. SURPLUS, NOT DEFICIT, HEAR THE LAWMAKERS Washington, March 6.—Mr. Tawney, chairman of the committee on appro priations, announced in the house to day that instead of facing a deficit in the treasury at the close of thq fiscal year of 1908, as seemed imminent at one time, there would be a surplus of $20,000,000 at that time. The total ap propriations made at the present ses sion of congress, he said, aggregated apparently $919,949,000. Mr. Allison, chairman of the senate committee on appropriations, also made a statement to the senate along the line of Tawney'a presentation. ♦— BURTON’S RIVER-HARBOR COMMISSION IS APPROVED Washington, D. C., March 6.—Repre sentative Burton, chairman of lha house committee on rivers and harbors, offered a bill for the creation of a per manent commission to make an inves tigation into river and harbor Improve ments. It was reported favorably from his committee. Representative Burton has made something of a canvass of sentiment in the two houses and thera Is every reason to believe that the measure will be favorably acted upon by the two houses. ALDRICK CURRENCY BILL PASES HOUSE Washington. March 8.—The house passed the Aldrich currency bill, 180 to 70, the re publicans lining up wllh a few exception! for the measure, the democrats being just as solid against it. The bill authorizes ihe issuance of $10 gold certificates to the end that the $10 greenback may be broken up into $1. $2 and $8 bills, for which there is a great demand.

BOOSE PUSSES THE SHIP SUBSIDY BIEL 155 TO 144 Victory Came Only After a Bat tle Royal Between Oppos ing Forces. FOUR LINES SUBSIDIZED Forty-One Republicans Voted With Democrats on the Last Ballot— Annual Subsidy Will Amount to Millions. Washington, D. C., March 4.—The House Friday passed the ship subsidy i bill by a vote of 155 to 144. It has been years since the house was the scene of so royal a battle be tween the two great parties. The bill was passed, but not until after It had been once defeated, and this fact In Itself shows how close the alignment I was. When the first vote disclosed a ma jority against the measure the demo crats and their republican allies made the house ring with their cheers. There were several roll calls before the final favorable result was secured. The vote on the Llttauer substitute was defeated on the first vote, 154 to 161. The democrats could not retain their i lead, however, for on a vote to lay I on the table a motion to reconsider the opponents of the ship subsidy were ! defeated, 156 to 159, and the vote to reconsider the first vote was adopted, 164 to 154. Immediately after the first ballot desertions began, and on the final vote to pass the bill as amended the work done by the republican leaders during the battle was made manifest. The bill was passed, 155 to 144. Forty-Ono in “Last Ditch.” The following republicans voted I with the democrats in opposition: Burton of Ohio, Campbell of Kansas, Chapman of Illinois, Cooper of Wisconsin, Darragh of Michigan, Davidson of Wis consin. Davis of Minnesota, Fordney of Michigan, Footer of Vermont, Fulkerson of Missouri, Gllham of Indiana, Graff of Illinois, Gronna of North Dakota, Hamil ton of Michigan, Hinshaw of Nebraska, Holiday of Indiana, Jenkins of Wisconsin, Kinkaid of Nebraska, Knopf of Illinois, C.

Fifty-two republicans voted with the democrats on the first roll call. On the vote of Mr. Williams to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, fifty republicans voted with the democrats. On the vote to adopt the substitute there were forty-three republican "In surgents,” and on its final passage there were forty-one. Four Lines Are Subsidized. Only four steamship lines are to be subsidized under the measure In the form finally agreed upon, and all of these are to sail for South American ports. One of the lines will be from the Atlantic coast to Brazil, a second from the Atlantic coast to Argentina, the third between the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. The fourth line will be from the Pacific coast to Panama, Pe ru and Chill. The annual subsidy for each of these lines is to be $300,000 for a monthly . mail service or $600,000 for a fortntght ' ly service, except the Argentine line, which is to have $400,000 for a monthly ] service or $800,000 for a fortnightly service. No American cities are named as ports from which any of the lines are to start, and It is so worded that the line on the Pacific to South America can touch at any number of ports in : me unilt’U oiuitra. j. lie buiiic ia uuc 1 of the Atlantic lines. Must Build New Ships. The bill provides that vessels profit ing by the subvention must have a | speed of not less than 16 knots. It has been repeatedly stated on the floor of the house that no ships now en gaged in the South American trade can make any such speed. I When the bill was taken up the ■ amendment presented by Mr. Townsend : striking out the steamship line from Pacific coast ports to Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines was pending. Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, opened the debate and favored the bill, con tending that the position of the United States in the western hemisphere en titles it to bear mail service. He said I that the visit of Secretary Hoot to I South America has had an educational I effect upon the people of this country I arid that It had shown that we can cul 1 tivate the acquaintance of the people of South America and make them our i friends. "We do not want to rule them : by the big stick—we want to rule them by the peaceable ties of trade,” he said. Townsend Amendment Adopted. Mr. Townsend spoke in support of his amendment and it was adopted, 134 to 100. Following upon his advantage, Mr. Townsend moved to strike out the line from Puget sound to the Orient, and that motion also prevailed, 130 to 105. Then the line to Australia went out, 129 to 111. An amendment by Mr. Fordney, of Michigan, reducing the subsidy for the line to Buenos Ayres, from $400,000 to $266,000 was lost, 114 to 140. Mr. Humphrey, of Washington, | moved that the line from the Gulf of j Mexico to the Isthmus of Panama be ; stricken out. He said he wanted to 1 see if "It was a question of geography." i An amendment by Mr. Sulzer requir ing ships to stop at Mexican Pacific ports, which developed the fact that several members of the house do not know the names of Mexican ports, was next offered. Interest Becomes Intense. By this time the interest in the bill was Intense. The galleries were crowd ed and the leaders on both sides of the chamber were rallying their forces for the final battle. It was near 3 o'clock and there was still pending Mr. Fordney's amend I ment substituting a tonnage tax meas ! ure. The advocates of the Littauer bill | did not desire to vote on that proposl I tlon and they began to filibuster by j forcing a vote on the Sulzer amend ment. which wag overwhelmingly de feated. Tellers were demanded by Mr. Llt tauer to kill time notwithstanding a chorus of "noea" that went up from the democrats. When the count was finally taken there was found to be barely one vote for the proposition. The vote was slow In the extreme and the democrats became highly Indig nant. Mr Sulzer rose to have the vote by tellers abandoned, but Mr. Currier, of New Hampshire. In the chair, held that their vote could not he Interrupt ed and the farce was continued until 3 o’clock arrived, when the regular or der was demanded. First Vote Unfavorable. The bill was then reported from the committee of the whole to the house, and much to the chagrin of the sup porters of the Llttauer bill Speaker Cannon held that there must still be a vote on the Fordney substitute. The result was unfavorable to that meas ure and a ballot on the Llttauer bill was Immediately announced. The ayes and nays were orderod, and the vote as announced showed the bill defeated. Ayes, 164; nays, 161. Mr. Llttauer moved to reconsider. Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, the mi nority leaded, moved to lay the motion on the table. Then the republican leaders deter mined lo undo the former action and pass the bill If possible. The motion to lay on the table was defented, 166 to 163. The republicans had Won vic tory In the very Jaws of defeat. Again the ayes and nays were called, this time on the motion of Mr. Llttauer to reconsider the first vote, and the house decided to reconsider by a vote of 164 to 164. Mr. Llttauer then moved that the substitute to the senate bill be agreed to, and the substitute was adopted, 165 to 160. The third reading of the bill was authorized, 161 to 161, and then on Its final passage there were: Ayes, 156; nays, 144. Mr. Williams realized that It would be useless to continue the contest, and the motion to reconsider and the mo tion to lay on the table were per functorily agreed to. CASHIER WHO STOLE A HALF MILLION CAUGHT Portland, Ore., March 4.—"It was my wild desire for more money—more money. 1 can’t tell whatever became ot It." In these words does William F. Walk er, ex-cashler of the New Urltaln, Conn., bank, who stole at least half a million dollars and for whom the police all over the country have been on the alert, tersely tells the story of hU downfall. Walker was caught In the little town WILLIAM F. WALKER. of Ontario, this Btate, and will be ex tradited to Connecticut If he refuses to go of his own accord, which It Is not believed he will do. Beyond the words quoted, Walker Is noncommunlcatlve. The law is look ing for a "woman In the case." Money’s Use a Mystery. New Britain, Conn., March 4.—The news that William F. Walker, ex-cash ler of the New Britain Savings bank, has been caught on the Pacific coast Is received here with satisfaction, al though no one knows whether any of the money he is charged with stealing will ever be recovered. Merchants, farmers, laborers, pro fessional men and women, wage earn ers, whose funds were diverted, It Is alleged by the cashier's manipulations, join In expressing joy that Walker has been apprehended. The Oregon dispatches speak of a possible woman In the case, but no one here knows of any. Walker posed as a religious man, always attended church and was thoroughly respected. His family life Is believed to have been pleasant. BUCKETSHOPS LOSE IN MINNESOTA DECISION Minneapolis, Minn., March 4.—Prop erty rights in grain quotations on the Minneapolis chamber of commerce were strengthened by a decision of the state supreme court today In the case of the chamoer against J. E. Wells. The latter has no seat on the ex change, but It was claimed the right to use quotations on the ground of the chamber’s property rights In them was extinguished by the fact they were posted In public places and thereby become public property. The court In overruling the contention gives the chamber the upper hand In the fight now pending against several bucket shops. DIVORCE WITNESS HURRIES TO ALTAR, DIVORCEE ATTENDS Released From Matrimony She Acts as Maid of Honor for Her Friend.

WILL TALK SHIP TO DEATH Never Before Has the Senate Appeared to Relish the Killing of Legislation. CARMACK DOING STUNT He at No Time Tried to Hide the Fact That His Efforts Were a Filibuster, Pure and Simple. Washington, D. C., March 5.—The filibuster against the ship subsidy bill which began Saturday was continued throughout the session Sunday and as sumed a humorous vein under the di rection of Senator Carmack, much to the enjoyment of the crowded galleries. The speakers on the subsidy bill were Interrupted frequently to permit the passage of minor bills, the adoption on conference reports and the transaction pf other business Incidental to the clos ing hours of the session. During the day and night the confer ence reports on the pension and general deficiency bills were agreed to, and there was a long discussion of the re port on the LaFollette railway em ployes bill, which was sent back to conference. A report was afterwards agreed upon by the conferees, but the report had not been acted on when at 11:40 o'clock the senate took a recess until 9:30 o’clock Monday morning. I The conference report on the Bundry civil appropriation bill was agreed to [at the last minute, but the ship sub siLlvr V. 41V li n .1 n a4 1\aam a a4 a/V iivwvn Mix Levity and Bitterneee. Never before has the senate appeared to relish so much an attempt to kill legislation by filibustering methods. Senator Carmack, director of the min ority movement, agalnBt the bill, at no time tried to hide the fact that his effort was a filibuster pure and simple. jHe came Into the open by addressing himself principally to the term ’'flllbus Tercrs," which Senator Oalllnger had applied to the democratic senators who .have undertaken to defeat the meas ure. | First Senator Carmack devoted him-, self to an Indorsement of Webster’s' .'dictionary as an authority on orthog raphy and definition and said if the senate had any doubt that this work Iwas an authority he would bring it la and ask that passages from it be read from the desks. When he had spoken for about forty five minutes with the obvious purpose of killing time, Senator Carmack looked at his watch and remarked: "Well I see X must be hurrying along." At this the senators on the floor shouted their amusement. Questions Southern Orthography. Senator Carter added to the spirit of levity by Interrupting the reading of letters from ship builders by Sen ator Overman, who was giving Sen ator Carmack a respite. "I want to know,” said Senator Carter, "what, If any, dictionary la used In Tennessee, and what, If any, standard of spelling exists and if it ia uniformly, applied?" This gave Senator Carmack an opening to which he took advantage of: to taunt Senators Carter and Qal llnger with being parties to a filibus ter. “Observing that my question em barrasses the senator," interjected Senator Carter, "Inasmuch as ho probably Is not willing to admit that the dictionary Is unknown In that state. I will withdraw the question.” "If the senator wants a direct an swer,” said Senator Carmack. "Ten nessee stands by the constitution and Webster's dictionary." "how much steal?” there was In the ship subsidy Senator Frye rebuked the whole proceeding as unseemly and un dignified. For the senate to hold a session on the Sabbath day for the sole purpose of frivolous debate for the amusement of the galleries was about the most unseemly proceeding he had ever witnessed. While he spoke Sen ator Frye turned so as to face Sen ator Carmack, who was seated. He at once arose and replied: “If the senator refers to me I will say that I ain not responsible to him for my conduct, and I shall conduct myself according to my own notions of pro priety. If the senator from Maine does not like my manner he has my permis sion to leave the chamber and go where he can attend church, If he would prefer.” "I would much rather be In church,” retorted Senator Frye. "If the senator wishes to take a re cess until tomorrow morning I shall not interfere with It, suggested Senator Carmack. “The senator knows I cannot,” wa» the reply. "Well,” continued Mr. Carmack, "the senator is evidently much more con cerned about the defeat of this bill than anything else.” Senator Carmack then declined to yield further to Senator Frye, although the latter attempted to Interrupt. Peace Is Restored. Shortly after this the Incident wa» closed by the restoration of amity. Senator Carmack expressed regret that the Incident had occurred. He had spoken, he said, on the impulse of the moment and withdrew what had been, said. Senator Frye, too. expressed the same sentiment, and explained that he had not meant to address the senator from Tennessee personally. At 5:30 o’clock p. m. the senate took a recess until 8:30 o'clock. Kept Up at Night Session. The filibuster was continued when the senate resumed its session at 8:30 o'clock last night. Senators Dubois and Carmack made r.n appeal to Senator Gallinger to withdraw the bill, but ha did not comply. The debate was Interrupted by tha passage of a resolution for the pre senting of a document on horses, which brought out front Senator Carmack the remark" "That's a horse on the demo cratic side." This sally aroused the venerable Sen ator Pettus. of Alabama, who re marked: "We accept the rebuke from the senator front Montana because of his wisdom and long experience and we do r.ot fall to recollect that he has the record for speaking for more than twenty hours to kill a river and harbor bill."
