Elsie Echroeder, aged 9 years, whose home Is at South O and Thirty-third streets, -was kidnaped this morning: by Ed Hyde, ah ex-convict .who has spent most of his time since 1889 in prison and is a pal of "Young" Hildebrand, now doing- life in "Walla Walla for com plicity in the White murder in Seattle In 1889. Within an hour after the kidnaping the child was restored to her parents and Hyde was in the county Jail. With a companion Elsie was picking black berries in the South End when Hyde approached them. He gave Elsie 20 cents and promised to take her where there were plenty of berries, and gave the other child 10 cents to go home with what berries the children had and to "say nothing" about where Elsie had gone. Hyde boarded a Spanaway car with Elsie and got off at Alki station and started to walk toward Bismarck. They met a number of people on the way, however, and Hyde soon returned with the child to Alki.- boarded an Inbound car and rode with her to Thirty-fourth and G and told her to get off. Just as she was doing so the officers happened along and took both. "I didn't intend to hurt the kid," said Hyde. "She wanted some black berries, and I told her I would take her where there was plenty. You can't put any charge against me for that." Hyde denied he gave Elsie 20 cents or her companion 10 cents, although the children had the money. Sheriff Morris believes Hyde intended to steal the girl, but met so many persons on the Bismarck road he got "cold feet." A formal charge of attempted kidnap ing will be placed against him. He is 31 years of age and has the reputation of being a desperate character. GRANGE SEEKS CHANGES Pleasant Valley Gathering: in Favor of More Representation. GRESHAM, Or., June 16. (Special.)

Also that each grange pay the expenses of its own delegates with in a radius of 100 miles of the meeting place of the State Grange, which body is to pay mileage only beyond that distance.

A handsome, well-furnished parson age stands on the church grounds. Several little girls took their first communion. Services are held regularly by Father Bruenagel. post in building roads and erecting build ings. It is likely that much more will be spent next year. This will be espe cially true if the appropriation for a new department headquarters for the of ficers and clerks of the Department of the Columbia is mad;. Reserve street is being graded and mac adamized at a cost of $20,000. The work is being done by Rector & Daly, con tractors, and is nearly completed.

Governor Hay's Veto Ineffective Be cause Act of Legislature Was Unconstitutional. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 16. The Su preme Court today knocked out the attempted repeal by the act passed at the special session of the Legislature, of the act passed at the regular session of the 1909 Legislature amending the material men's lien laws, when it was discovered that the act of the. regular session laws of 1909, page 71. was in a somewhat hazy condition. A law purporting to amend the regu lar session act was passed by the Leg islature, but when it came before Gov ernor Hay, he vetoed the first four sec tions of the bill and approved the last two, which simply provided for the re peal of the law passed at the regular session. The Supreme Court does not pass di rectly on the right of the Governor to repeal a portjon of a law and approve the rest, practically changing the leg islative intent, but it holds that the re mainder of the bill as approved by the Governor, had it originally been passed in that shape by the Legislature, would have been unconstitutional because it attempted to repeal an act without set ting forth its title in full as required by the constitution, and as the Gover nor could have no greater power than the Executive and Legislature com bined, the law was unconstitutional for the same reason. The decision was handed down in the case of Spokane Grain & Fuel Company et al., appellants, vs. E. V. Lyttaker et al.. respondents, from King County. The trial court sustained a demurrer be cause as - required by the law of the 1909 regular session, notice was not given the owner of the property of the delivery of the material at the time as a necessary proceeding to establish ' a material man's lien.

PLOWING UP HAD BEGUN Long Spell of Dry Weather Had Caused Abandonment of Hope for Yield, but Amount of Mois ture Now Allays Fear. V WALLA WALLA. Wash., June 16. (Special.) The crisis of the critical stage in the progress of the growing crops was turned in favor of the farm er today when, according to reports from Franklin, Umatilla, Columbia and. Garfield counties, a rain general throughout this section fell. In Walla Walla County .62 of an inch was the amount recorded. Several wheatgrowers of this county were contemplating plowing up their fields, believing the crop ruined,- while some had. already started when the rain came. Today's precipitation was sufficient to insure a generous crop. RAIN DELIGHTS PEXDLETOX Precipitation Offsets Damage Caused by Hot Winds of Last Week. PENDLETON, Or., June 16. (Spe cial.) Rain for which the growers of grain have been praying for several days put in an appearance this morn ing. For six or seven hours it came down steadily, resulting in nearly half an inch of precipitation. This is suf ficient largely to make up for the dam age done by the hot winds of a week ago and the crop prospects of the en tire county have been brightened im measurably. , Favorable weather for the next few days will insure a normal yield of grain. Some hay was damaged slightly by the rain, but the loss is inconse quential. The benefits will amount to many thousands of dollars. UNION COUNTY; VEIiC031ES RAIN Slight Damage to Hay Forgotten In General Benefit. LA GRANDE, Or., June 16. (Special.) All Union County was soaked thor oughly this afternoon and the drizzling rain is still falling. The farming dis tricts had about reached their limit without moisture, as it had not rained here for several weeks. One section of the Grand Ronde Val ley has considerable alfalfa hay down, but little dissatisfaction is expressed at this light damage. Thousands of dollars are wrapped up in today's rainfall. CROPS GET NEEDED RAIN Weather Forecaster Says Sunshine May Be Expected Today. Rain that has so long been sought by growers in the big grain districts of the interior has at last been real ized, for yesterday's reports at the Weather Bureau stated that half an inch had fallen at Walla Walla and a quarter of an inch at Spokane and Boise, so District Forecaster Beals feels convinced that the downfall was general in Eastern Washington, East ern Oregon and Idaho. But the precipitation promises to be of short duration, as clear weather is" predicted for today, with a conse quent rising in temperature, and Mr. Beals thinks that the showery periods of the past few days will cease. It is estimated that sufficient rain fell in the wheat belts to increase the crop prospects for a full yield and that there will be no additional cause for concern if warm weather follows to force the growth.
