HUNDREDS ON THE SIDINGS Committee Calls on Xorthera Pacific Superintendent at Spokane and Slakes Charge That Flour Is Given the Preference.. SPOKAJTB, -Wash.. Deo. 17. (Special.) That a million bushels of -wheal is being permitted to rot on platforms at North ern Pacific stations in Central Washing ton because the railway officials refuse to permit the grain to be loaded into empty cars which stand idle on the sidings was charged today by a committee represent ing the Central Washington grain dealers in a conference at the office of Superin tendent Beamer, of the Northern Pacific. N. E. Hayes. Ned W. Munger, Simon McLean, J. 3. Inkster and Richard Stevens constituted the committee. They contend that the claim of car shortage has been a mere pretex, manufactured by the railways to meet the complaints of those suffering the rigors of coal famine, of lumbermen, grain dealers and flour manufacturers. N. B. Hayes was authority for the statement at the meet ing that 365 empty cars are now stand ing on sidings between Pasco and Sprague, and that the railroads excuse for not filling them with grain Is that it has not the motive power to haul them. Members of the committee begged that they be permitted to transfer their grain sacks from the platforms to those cars for mere storage purposes, as 20 per cent would thus be saved. They charge that the railroads are In reality discriminating In gavor of flour shipments, which pay better, and think it a significant fact that the flour manufacturers, who were in vited to Join them in the conference, failed to appear. Local officials asserted that the heavy demand for cars to move the crop In the Dakotas was responsible for the local t!e-up, but the grain dealers replied that the shipments into Minneapolis from the Dakotas are lighter this year than last.

Our train came to a full Tton when crossing Pacific avenue to allow another train from Seattle to pull In, and I think the men must have boarded the train there. We passen gers had all stepped out on the plat form and were talking and laughing. When the train had started up and Just as it was being pulled up to the station, I turned and entered the car to see if the porter was brushing off my grip, as I had asked him to do. I saw two men, each carrying two grips, leaving- the car by the other door." BRIDE STAYS WITH CAPTAIN Together They Take Last Boat From Wrecked Themis. SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 17. (Special.) Mrs. E.

Rossman, one of the best-known attorneys In Seattle, was arrested today on a charge of perjury, and charges were filed against him in anticipation for disbarment proceed ings.

Opinions Are Based for the Most Part on" Evidence Brought Out at Murder Trial. -. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 17. (Spe cial.) Five prominent , physiciat. called as insanity experts, and the head of an institution for the care of the Insane, today declared on the witness stand in the Sloane murder trial, that Sidney Sloane was Insane when ' he killed hi3 father. These opinions were based on the circumstances surround ing the crime, the youth's actions from his early childhood, and his vicious habits in later years. Dr. John M. Scrapie, Dr. P. D. Mc Cormick, Dr. Edwin Kimball, Dr. John R. Neely, Dr. W. J. Howell, all physi cians of this city, and Dr. John W. Givens, Superintendent of the Asylum for the Insane at Orofino, Idaho, were the experts called by the 'defense, -and their testimony was a unit as to the boy's deranged mind. The gist of the testimony tended to show that Sidney Sloane suffered from epileptic insanity, that he was afflicted with unconsciousness and that he was possessed of a homicidal mania. Many of the answers were brought out only after strenuous objection on the part of Prosecuting Attorney Barnhart, who complained that the witnesses were ar guing the case from the witness-chair as would the attorney for the defense. With the exception of Dr. Semple, who had made a personal examination of Sidney Sloane, all of the - experts based their testimony on the testimony which has been introduced by wit nesses called by either the defense or the state to explain incidents connect ed with young Sloane's life from the days preceding his birth, the mother's illness and the father's drinking, the boy's unconsciousness In early years, his unintelligence, his lack of knowl edge of right or wrong and his dumb- BTTRGTjAR FIRES VALDES BANK Hotel" and Other Buildings Are De stroyed by the Blaze.

PROVES A GOOD WITNESS Captain Ward Recounts the Arrest of Chester Thompson and of the Singular Coolness Shovm by the Slayer at the Station. TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 17. After ex amining Mrs. Emory and the police officers who went to the Emory home following the shooting of Judge Em ory by Chester Thompson, the state, at the conclusion of today's session; an nounced that it has but nine more wit nesses to place on direct examination to testify against the boy. Prosector Mackintosh stated that it is highly probable that less than half this num ber will be examined and was firm in the belief that the state will rest at noon tomorrow. ' With the introduction of evidence for the defense the real battle will begin. At the outset, attorneys for the accused admitted not only, the killing but all the circumstances "that lead up to it and all subsequent events. There was very little cross-examination of the state's witnesses by Mr. Morris and that merely to clear away an misap prehensions that might arise in the minds of the Jurors as o details sur rounding the actual shooting. The state has proved the killing, and what ever evidence it submits directly will only substantiate that admitted fact. - Will H. Thompson will be the first witness for the defense, Mr. Morris stated tonight, and he will repeat In substance what he told the Jury in his statement last Friday. The prose cution has prepared for Mr. Thomp son a most rigorous cross-examination and much that he told last week will not be admitted in evidence, because he was neither a witness to the Incidents nor a party to the conversations he stated took place. In point of interest to the public the J testimony oi mrs. Jlimory xnis morning was the most engaging of the day. In point of Importance that of Captain Ward, the last witness, takes preced ence. Mrs. Emory, pale and wan. showing fully the "terrible suffering she has un dergone, was at the supreme test a most satisfactory witness. The details of the tragedy that robbed her of a de v6ted husband were indelibly stamped upon her memory, and she answered readily every question put to her by General Vance, the friend of her glir hood in the Carollnas. She saw Chester Thompson dash up the porch and run into the house, and saw her husband follow him. She beard shots and said a bullet passed close to her face. Then she screamed and ran to the home of her sister, Mrs. Charles F. Whittlesey. Captain Ward told of 'the arrest of Thompson and the conversations at the police station. In the excitement of the arrest the police failed to ask Thompson a. very material question why he had gone to the Emory resi dence armed, or why he had doffed his hat and coat before' approaching the house. Both the state and ' defense regard Captain Ward's testimony as of prime importance. Mr. Morris, leading counsel of the defense, was particularly pleased at the statement of the witness that Ches ter Thompson exhibited no signs of nervousness and answered 'all ques tions put to him at the police station unhesitatingly and in a low, slow voice. It is not the intention of Judge Snell to attempt to rush the case too hard. He will hold .no night sessions if avoidable, on account of the severe strain upon the Jurors and court offi cials. It is his intention to follow the usual court hours, 10 to 12 and 2 to S, as. closely as possible. The outlook is that the case will string along until not far from the middle of January.
