nOUNDFNT
Prison Superintendent Wins
Before Supreme Court.
QUESTION OF PERQUISITES
Secretary of State Is Held Responsi
ble for Purchases Made for the
Institution, Passing: on
All Accounts.
A taxpayer cannot maintain an in
junction suit to reetrain the Super
intendent of the Penitentiary from
purchasing: furniture and supplies for
his private family vtith public funds
upon the fraudulent representation
that they are intended for the peni
tentiary. If the Superintendent of the Peni
tentiary uses convict labor for his own
profit he may be prosecuted for mal
feasance in ofnee. but equitable Inter
vention 'will not He.
Multnomah County loses the suit
brought against the First National
Bank to cancel tax certificates aggre
gating $7218.25 exchangejl for war
rants valid only to the amount of
S5G9.37.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 28. (Special.) The
Oregon Supreme Court today affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the case
of J. K. Sears against Superintendent C.
W. James, of the Oregon penitentiary,
thus holding that a taxpayer cannot
maintain a suit to enjoin the purchase of
furniture fo'rprlvate use upon the fradu
lent representation that they are for the
use of the penitentiary, that he cannot
enjoin the use of supplies from the prison
commissary in the families of prison of
ficials and that he cannot enjoin prison
officials from employing convicts as serv
ants in their private families.
Sears brought the suit as a taxpayer.
The prison officials admitted the facts
alleged by demurring to the complaint
Judge Galloway, sitting in Marion County,
sustained the demurrer, holding that a
taxpayer cannot maintain such a suit.
In an opinion written by Justice Bean,
the Supreme Court affirms the ruling and
dismisses the complaint. The opinion
Bays in part:
The defendant (Superintendent James)
has no authority under the law to pay any
bills or handle or disburse any state funds.
He has authority to make all purchases of
supplies needed for the penitentiary or pris
oners section 3635), but the accounts there
for must be presented to and audited by the
Secretary of State, and jjo money can be
paid for any purpose on account of the
penitentiary except upon warrants Issued by
that officer.
The Secretary of State is, therefore, the
auditing officer, charged with the duty of
protecting the state from false and fraudu
lent claims. He Is not a party to this suit
" and we must assume that he .will discharge
his duties and if defendant approves or pre
sents an illegal claim that It will he disal
lowed. Until some such claim has been pre
sented, and is about to be paid out of state
'funds, there is no ground for equitable In
terference. The statute provides that the Superintend
ent of the Penitentiary shall not receive
the labor of any prisoner for his individual
profit or be interested In any contract upon
which such labor shall be employed. If the
defendant has or is violating this section,
he may bo liable for malfeasance in office,
but it is In our opinion no ground for equit
able interference at the suit of an individual
taxpayer.
Multnomah County Loses.
. ,. Multnomah County loses its suit against
ihe First National Bank of Portland and
W. T. White brought to set aside an as
signment of C9 tax certificates aggre
gating $7218.25. The bank held 35 countv
warrants of the lace value of $5015.52, but
these had been declared Invalid except
for 5569.37. At the request of the bank
the county court exchanged the tax cer
tificates for the warrants, and the tax
certificates were assigned to White, upon
directions from the bank.
This teult was then brought, resulting
in a decree by Judge Frazer that the as
signment of the tax -certificates was void
because the County Court had no au
thority to make such a transfer. White
had In the meantime collected. WSOO on
all the certificates except four, and re
turned all the certificates to the County
tJourt for cancellation.
The county, in this suit, -wanted a de
cree for recovery against the bank and
White, and because this was not granted
the county appealed from Judge Frazer'a
decree. The Supreme Court holds that
the County Court had a right to make
the compromise exchanging the tax cer
tificates for the county warrants and the
agreement should be upheld. For this rea
son, the order of the County court re
voking the assignment to White is set
aside and this suit brought by the county
against the bank and White is dismissed.
Wolfer vs. Hurst and Hlnklc.
George J. Wolfer, respondent, vs. W.
S. Hurst and H. A. Hinkle, appellants,
from Marlon County, George H. Burnett,
Judge, affirmed; opinion by Chief Justice
Wolverton.
.On October 1, 1903, Wolfer leased to de
fendants certain 'premises for a period of
one year. The lease contained a provision
waiving any notice to quit or intention
to re-enter under the statute, and an
agreement to quit and surrender posses
sion at the end of the term. The de
fendants refused to surrender at the end
of their term, and Wolfer instituted this
action of forcible entry and detainer. At
the trial there was no proof of the giving
of any notice to quit and the defendants
moved for nonsuit, which was denied.
After an exhaustive review of the law
of tenancies, and a discussion of the stat
ute upon this subject, the Supreme Court
.holds that where the lease contains this
waiver clause, the landlord need not give
notice to quit at the end of the term, but
may maintain an action of forcible entry
and detainer, tor the tenant will be
deemed as much guilty of a wrong by
folding thereafter as if notice had been
given. In Its opinion, the court remarks
that it Is difficult to determine the true
intendment of the law (section 5755), and
that this decision is not entirely satis
factory." but Is promotive of the Intend
ment that the proceeding shall be sum
mary. Walter Whalen, respondent, vs. It. H.
McMahan and A. it, Clough, appellants,
from Marlon County, William Galloway.
Judge, reversed and complaint dismissed;
opinion by Justice Bean.
Susan M. Davis, respondent, vs. City of
SHverton, appellant, from Marlon County.
William Galloway, Judge, reversed and
dismissed; opinion by Chief Justice Wol
verton. I
First Decision Is Modified.
"On rehearing In the case of F. F. Har
..rjngton, respondent, vs. A. L. Demarls,
appellant, from Umatilla 'County, W. R.
. .Bills. Judge, a decision has been rendered
modifying the first decision by fixing $300
Instead of $700 as the amount of damages
to be paid by the defendant, the reduction
being made because the failure of water
supply was In part due to plaintiffs negli
gence. Plaintiff is given permission to
open ditches across defendant's land.

Blngen are again agitated over the pro
posed railroad down the north bank of
the Columbia. A. R. Upright, of Tacoma.
has returned and Is endeavoring again to
make further settlement with land-owners
in the berry belt, the only point
where the right-of-way agents met any
serious difficulty.
The Adams George place was sold last
week to O. C Dean for SXK. As the
proposed road would destroy a consider
able section of the best land, Mr. Up
right has agreed to pay the new owner
$1750 cash. Just as soon as the deed for
a right-of-way can be drawn and signed.
Mr. Dean says he has positive Informa
tion that this new road is a Northern
Pacific project, and he is more confident
than ever that a railroad Is coming down
the north bank of the Columbia soon.
Mr. "yprlght is not at liberty to state
for what company he Is working, but he
firmly believes the projected road will
be built. "I am back here and closing
up all the details where we have con
tracts," said Mr. Upright. "I am getting
all the deeds possible, and have been
attempting to get other contracts, but in
many instances the farmers are holding
out for prices that are out of all reason.
I have attempted to be fair with them,
and in .many cases have offered prices
that are in excess of the real value.
"Of course I have been handicapped to
a certain extent in not being able to tell
Just where the stakes of the new survey
will be. Our engineering corps Is working
as fast as possible, but it will be some
weeks before the onglneer will he able to
get in at this point."

dition by his piercing shrieks. He was

kct. In this county, .Sunday night.
Last March Ross and his wife locat
ed about two miles from the town of
Kerrkstown and Ross opened a saloon,
living with his wife above the saloon
building. All of the people living In
that locality have been in the habit
of having their cheoks cashed by Ross,
and he always kept a considerable sum
of money In the saloon for that pur
pose. About 11 o'clock yesterday morning
A. S. Kerry, of the Kerry Lumber Com

Ross place, and when he arrived; found
the building in ruins and the charred
remains of the young couple In the
debris.

at once notified, and Deputy Coroner
UVViltsle went out late this afternoon
to make the investigation.
Over the longdistance telephone.
Dr. Wlltsie stated tonight that Ross
and his wife had been murdored for
their money by parties unknown, and
the bodies burned, for the purpose of
hiding the crime.
A brakeman on the Northern Pacific
train saw the reflection of the Are
about XI o'clock Sunday night, and as
the saloon always remained open un
til nearly midnight, it is not considered
possible that Mr. and Mrs. Ross could
have been burned to death without any
chance of escape. The remains were
so charred that it was almost impos
sible to ascertain whethe'r there were
any marks of violence on the bodies.

agreed that the bank shall open for
business on October 1, and the board
of directors elected by the stockhold
ers were empowered to make all neces
sary arrangements for opening the
bank on that date.
The following directors were elected:
L11113 F. Smith. G. "W. Larue. John Hart,
John Bloom. James Rock. P. B. Strav
ens and J. R. Good. Smith. Bloom and
Rock are active farmers, while Larue
and Hart are retired farmers, now living-
In Colfax.
Smith Is known as the "Wheat King"
of Whitman County, and last year he
received a check for 546,675 for his
crop of wheat. That was the largest
check ever issued In Eastern Washing
ton to an Individual farmer for a crop
of grain. He will probably be presi
dent of the bank. The directors are
to meet this week and elect officers.
The new bank will open In the Bell
inger building, owned by the Burrell
estate of Portland. This building was
erected by the late J. .H. Bellinger for
a bank which was never organized,
owing to Mr. Bellinger's death, and is
one of the finest buildings in Whitman
County.
