SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 1. The
State Bar Association Is today con
ducting a secret examination In this
city Into the cause of the resignation
of Supreme Judge Mllo K. Root. The
first witness called was L. C. Gllman,
western general counsel for the
Great Northern Railroad. He was
followed by J. J. Lavin, secretary to
M. K. Gordon, who formerly held the
position now occupied by Oilman.
At one time Gordon was on the
Washington supreme bench, but
later became counsel for the Great
Northern Railroad at the Invitation
J of James J. Hill, losing his job re
cently upon the discovery of a short
age of J100.000 in his sccountB. It
' Is charged that most of this money
. was paid to Root, and the charge Is
'' given credence by the fact that Gor
don was not prosecuted. Gordon, it
is reported, has threatened to ex
. pose the corruption between Hill and
Root if proceedings are instituted
against him.

"First One Thing and Then An
other," by Opie Read, nttracted a
large audience to the Baptist church
Monday evening. Aud this famous
author and lecturer, who appeared
here under the auspices of the Com
mercial Club, did not disappoint IiIb
hearers. When he finished his ad
dress a hearty round of applause was
given him and the amlionce remain
ed seated for a minute or two, appar
ently hoping that he might go on.
Mr. Read has been uMn the lecture
platform so long that he not only
knows how to entertain his hearers.
but he leaves them filled with a de
sire to hear him more.
"First One Thing and Then An
other" is what may be termed a med
ley of good things that during the
hour aud 20 minutes of Its delivery
frequently runs the whole gamut of
human emotions from mirth to tears
and back again.' Summed up It is an
effort which 1b bound to prove an
uplift to humanity with a broaden

delivered In sparkling epigrams, de-
iignts nis nearers. A spirit of hu
manity as broad as time Itself Is next
portrayed, this being illustrated by
characters whose life-work sends
forth bright beams of love which fin
ally sweep away the passion for re
venge which had boeu fostered for
generations.
To a coiiBidcrnble degree Mr. Read
is an idcnllst, and he bollevcB the
world Is growing better in spite of
the maddening ruBh for sordid gain.
That even the desperado has within
him a spark of humanity which if
rightly touched will become aglow
with benevolent action. In another
phase his sparkling bits of humor are
clothed with the keenest, sarcasm.
Needless to remark, Mr. Read la a
prince of story tellers, and the 30
odd books (no pun Intended) which
lie has written have only created an
ever-increasing demand for more. He
has others now. under way. One
among the many humorous Incidents
related was of the Indiana farmer
who said about 40 of his hens were
setting.
A Buston miss overhearing this
remark could not refrain from uBing
the opportunity for a correction. She
Interposed:
"You mean that your hens are
sitting." '
"Well," he replied, "they may be
'sitting' or they may be 'setting,' but

was of the prevalence of the booster
spirit. He says the people of Atlanta

boosters on earth. Once while he
was there ho heard an Atlanta man
they are all boosters talking with
a resident of Savannah. He was lav

admitting that its only drawback was

"Why, If we only had the water

be long until we would have the

"Well," responded the Savannah

and if you can suck as hard as you

BUYS EIGHTY-TWO ACRES.
Ocntleinnii From AliiNka- Locates in
Hutlierlin Valley.
D. T. Noonan, who spent the past
ten years In Alaska, with headquar
ters at Fairbanks, arrived here from
Seattle Saturday, having just come
out from the far north. On the way
down on the steamer he first heard
of Douglas county and Sutlterbin val
ley. Within 24 hours after his ar
rival he had purchased something
over 82 acres of the choice land In
Suthei'liu valley, the aggregate price
being something like $15,000, mostly
paid cash down. He says Oregon Is
the most talked of state on the coast.
Kven In Seattle Oregon lands are be
ing talked of on evory street corner.
Seattle Investors are looking this
way ajid are amazed at the low prices
now ruling In this county for Irri
gated and unlrrlgated lauds. Pres
ent prices here are from one-third
to one-half lower than in the Wash
ington and other fruit districts. Mr.
Noonan therofore lost no tune in
purchasing before theao conditions
change He departed Monday aftor-
noon for Seattlo to close up some
business matters, but expectB to re
turn in about ten days to take up
his residence, at Sutherliu. He will
then probably add 40 to 60 acres
more to his present purchases. He
expects to begin orchard planting at
the earliest possible date.
Whilo m Portland Mr. Noonnn will
consult with Whidden & Lewis, the
architects, regarding plans for a
modern bungalow residence to cost
between (3000 nnd $4000, which he
will have orocted soon on his newly
acquired property. He is delighted
with tho Oregon climalo and expectB
to make Sutherliu valley his perman
ent home. In fact he shows as much
enthusiasm for thnt locality as do the
representatives or tho Sutherliu
Land & Water Co. themselves.

CHOOSE DEATH TO REMOVAL
San Francisco's Police Chief Breaks
Down Under Criticism of His.
Administration
Special to the Evening Review. '
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1. While
roturntng to this city In a launch
last night. Chief of Police Btegy. of
Snn Francisco, was drowned off Al
cntraz iBland. Circumstances indi
cate clearly that it Is a case of sui
cide. Blggy was smarting under the
bitter criticism hurled at him In con
nection with ithe circumstances sur
rounding tho suicide of Morris Hass,
the attempted Blayer of Francis J.
Honey, aud was facing an official In
vestigation Into his conduct as the
result of that affair.
Blggy went across the bay to Al
catraz yesterday and talked with
Commissioner Koll concerning the
affairs of tho police department. Blg
gy waa greatly worked up over the
attacks against him In the newspap
ers, but Kell told him to give the
matter no rurtlier heed, when Blggy
boarded the launch ut the Island he
complained to Engineer Murphy ot
reeling cold and went Into the cabin.
After leaving Alcalraz, Murphy called
to Blggy, but received no reply. He
Investigated and found that Blggy
had jumped overboard. This was
about 10 o'clock.
Ever since the attempt to assas
sinate Honey, the police department
has been in a state ot unrest. Blggy
hns been mercilessly criticised and
the newspapers printed stories to
the effect that he should be remov
ed. Yesterday, Blggy was Informed
by one of the police commissioners
thnt charges of dereliction and incom
petency hnd been filed against him
by ithe District Attorney's ofllce
through Dotectlve Burns. The the
ory Is that Blggy feared removal as
the outcome of these charges and
preferred death Instead. A. D. Cut
ler, president of the Board of Police
Commissioners, has been appointed
to act as Chief of Police until such
time as Mayor Taylor can name a
new official.
Blggy's divorced wife declared to
day that his mind must have given
away. "Ho was too good a Catholic
to commit suicide," she said. "He
did not drink, and I think he must
have been mentally deranged."
Blggy first came- Into prominence

Abe lluef, the regular officials then
In power being considered too closely
associated with the Indicted boss
politically and otherwise to be en
trusted with his keeping. Upon the
removal of Chief of Police Wlttman,
tho Job fell to Blggy. He was con
sidered at that time a staunch
friend of the graft prosecution, but
gradually he foil under suspicion.
Mntcrs reached a climax after the
suicide of Hass, It being . openly
charged that this was made possible
through the poor mothods of Blggy'e
administration.
