HERESY IS THE 2tfAKf CHARGE
Vancouver Pastor Alleged to HavoT
Disseminated False Doctrine.
tmo enwrgos against iiov. r. B. Elc
llott pastor of the Vancouver, Wash.
McthodlM Church. Inoludo one of the
most sorious possible to bring. This is
liorosy, contained in the allegation
that he made public stafements that
he cared net whothor a porson be
llsvedln the atonoment . of Christ, or
words. to that orfeojL, and that a person
who disbelieved in the divinity -of
Christ might be near to God as
Ojne whp did not ocfllevc In Christ's
Vllvinlty.
Charges of lying, dissemfrtating' doc
trlnos not"in accord with tfio articles
of religion contained', in the churoh
'discipline, and indulging- in sinful tem
pers are all combined in tho complaint
There are soveral courses open to
the ' Paget Souijd conference In pro-oedlng-
with the charges, both against
Rev. Mr. Elliott and Presiding; -Elder
Landen. The latter is merely charged
with partisan administration, in his
conduct of the trial at Vancouver.
Bishop McDowell possosses' the po"wer
by virtub . of his office to determine
whothor or- not the allegations con
tained In the complaint against Dr.
Landen are sufficient to -warrant a
hearing; by a committee, as provided by
the discipline. Should he decldo they
are not, the ct.arges fall flat
Rev. Mr. Elliott may be tried by
any one of three methods of proced
ure, but the usual course In such cases
is trial by a committee appointed by
the bishop. Defendant and complain
ant arc entitled to and are to be pro
vided with counsol, to be members of
the conference. ,
In tit is case, it Is believed that the
charges will go by default because of
the fact that 'the complainant is not
prepared to produce her witnesses be
fore the investigating- board, which has
been et for today. Xeltner Mrs. Hid
den nor her witnesses are in Everett
and unless 'Bishop McDowell Is asked
and grants a postponement both casos
will so hy default.
in the event of trials In each case
and a conviction in botn. the accused
have the privilege of an appoal to a
judicial conference, which Is appoint
ed by the bishop presiding at each of
the several annual conferences, and to
be composed of Ave select 'ciders, ap
peal to be granted provided the ac
cused signifies his desire within three
months from notice of conviction.
A minister, expelled by an annual
conference Is deprived of all ministe
rial prerogatives until by trial by the
judicial conference or retrial - by the
annual conference and final restoration
to office. Final action in all ministe
rial trials, if the accused desires, may
be carried to -the general conference for
decision. In the Judicial conference
sessions, paragraph 26S of the disci
pline provides that a bishop shall pre
side and decide all questions of law.

A man convicted of murder ,in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged has
been allowed to He la Jail In Walla Walla
undisturbed for nearly three years, with

never prosecuted his appeal, and he has
been allowed to remain In Jail undis

The Prosecuting Attorney of Franklin
County asks what he can do about it and
the Attorney General advises him to file
the record in the Supreme Court and
move a dismissal of the appeal for want
of prosecution. -

CONFESSES IE MURDER
PASQUALE TELLS OF SHOOTING
OP CHARLES GRAY.
Italian to Be Hanged Today Says
He at. First Only Intended
to Scare Lawyer.
WALLA-- WALLA, Wash., Sept 14.
(Speolal.) "Tell the ; people that I must
be hanged because I trusted men. - Jesus
don't want me. I will break, the rope
again in the mornjng, were the parting
words last evening of Frank Pasqualc,
condemned to be hanged tomorrow -morning
after a half hour's rambling talk. In
which he tried to prove that theworld
had not given him a square deal. At
5:39 this morning he will be hanged In
the Penitentiary In Walla Walla for the
murder of Charles Gray in Tacoma, In
May, 1?W. He Is a native of Italy, came
to America seven years ago, and speaks
English very , poorly. . While" "Pasqualo
was, in -the prison -barber shop yesterday
afternoon, he said:
'A Xew dollars cost Gray his life, and
now It will cost me my life tomorrow."
After be. had been shaved ho shook
hands with the convicts around the corrl
,dor. and when one of them told him to bo
!brave.he burst into .tears upon the shoul
der of a convict .
Late this afternoon he requested War
den Kces to call a reporter that his- story
might be given to the public. When
brought out of his cell he was very nerv
ous and hardly able to control himself.
Pasquale related the story of tho crime
in detail, admitting that he shot yonng
Gray twice In the head, and that he pur
chased the revolver with which the deed
was done 11 days before the murder. He
also"admltted that he at one time' told
Gray that he would kill him unless their
financial difficulties were fixed up by the
latter paying Pasqualc a considerable
sum df money.
The condemned man said he purchased
the revolver for the sole purposo of scar
ing Gray into paying him the money, and
really had no thought of murdering him
until they reached the railway track In
South Tacoma, Then he again asked for
the money, and upon being refused, fired
the fatal shots.
Reports from the Penitentiary at a late
hour are to the effect that the condemned,
man Is exceedingly restless, and it Is
said he will break down on the scaffold In
the morning. J

Superior Court of Pierce County, on a'
charge of murder In the first degree, for
the killing of Charles Gray, a young In
surance man of Tacoma, in May, 1S0L
Gray had assisted Pasquale In collecting
some accident Insurance money which
was due the Italian, but the latter was of
the opinion that Gray had not given him
all that was due. A dispute arose in
Gray's office In which the latter stoutly
maintained that he gave Pasquale all that
was coming to him. Further to satisfy
the Italian he agreed to accompany him
to the south end of Tacma to see some
other Italians who. werj? acquainted with
the facts and would prove his representa
tions in the matter.
At the trial it was proven that this trip
was a plot concocted by 'Pasquale to lure
Gray Into a secluded part of the railroad
yards for the purpose of murdering him.
It waa shown that during, the walk
through the yards the Italian suddenly
turned "upon the unsuspecting Gray and
shot him to death. He then picked up
the limp and lifeless body and was in the
act of placing It across the railroad track,
where the first train would have de
stroyed all evidence of the crime, when
an employe of the freight sheds saw him
apd raised n alarm.
Pasquale dropped the body and started
on the run for the Puyallup River. A
number of switchman and railroad clerks
chased the fleeing man until night ren
dered further pursuit Impossible. For
several days the officers and posses of
citizens continued a lively manhunt He
was finally caught one' night a few days
later as he was attempting to enter the
City of Seattle.
The Italians of Tacoma took great j
interest in nis case ana lumisnea
ample funds for the appeal of the
case to the Supreme Court, where the
judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
The Italian Consul was then Interested In
an effort to have the Governor commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment Great
pressure was brought to bear In the mat
ter, but a few days ago the Governor an
nounced that he would not Interfere, thus
permitting the sentence of death to be
carried out
T . BE A SETTLER
PROVISION FOR GETTING IjAND
UNDER CAREY LAW.
Federal and State Law Are Both
Very Clear on the
' Subject.
SALEM. Or.. Sept 14. (Special.) "Ac
tual settlers" are the only persons to
whom the state will Issue deeds to arid
land reclaimed under the provisions of
the Carey law. This is the. requirement
of the federal law and. the state law, and
is one of the provisions contained In the
form of application which was made
public by the State Land Board today.
A manyapplying for a deed to land re
claimed by an irrigation company under
the provisions of the Carey act must
make affidavit that he is a settler or in
tends to become such. Before he can
secure a deed, he must make proof by
his own 'affidavit that he is an actual
sottler.
Though this requirement has been un
derstood by a large proportion of those
who have taken steps toward securing.
Irrigated land, there are many, especially
those residing in the East, who will prob
ably find it Inconvenient and expensive to
make their actual settlements in order to
comply with the law.
No term of residence is required, and
there is nothing In the law to prevent a
man ceasing to be a settler as soon as
he secures his deed, except that his
ceasing to be a settler might bo taken
as evidence that he was not an actual,,
bona fide settler when he made the affi
davit The law does not define an "actual set
tlor." The Carey act. and. the contract,
between the state and the Secretary of
the Interior, mentions bona, fide settlors.
The ordinary interpretation placed upon,
the term is that one asking for a deed to
landreclaimed under the Carey act must
be In good faith making his home upon
the land at the time he makes the affi
davit . -
TELLS INSPECTOR TO QUIT
Walla AValla Councilman Creates a
Sensation.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept, 14.
(Special.) The discharge of a man with
out any cause or complaint who had been
engaged to Inspect the paving being done
in this city by the Warren Construction
Company Is creating something of a sen
sation. The inspector had been put to
work by the City Surveyor upon the rec
ommendation of the Mayor and a ma
jority of the street commission, so It Is
asserted, and he was discharged by Coun
cilman Glasford, who Is chairman of the
commission.
The Inspector refuses to quit his job,
and the matter will probably come up In
the next meeting of the Council, and It
Is said an-Investigation will be ordered by
the Mayor. This Is the second man Glas
ford has discharged or attempted to dis
charge as inspector, and he being the
recognized spokesman and defender of the
paving company his action has caused
some speculation as to what connection
the company has wilji It.
The men he sought to remove not be
ing factional partisans has added to tho
speculation and many an explanation
that might . J&e ponted on that score,
less likely to offer a solution for his con
duct Property-owners In the paving dis
trict are expressing displeasure and a
scandal Is predicted by many.

GOVERNMENT EXPERTS MAKE
FIND IN KLAMATH.
Construction of Dams in Irrigation
Project Is Greatly Simplified by
Saving of Transportation.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Sept 14. (Spe
cial.) After a thorough search and much
experimenting, the Government experts
have discovered a fomfttion here for the
manufacture of Portland cement. The ex
act location of this formation Is kept as
a close secret so far, but those connected
with "the Government work here say the
samples have stood the test and a plant
will be put. in here to manufacture the
cement
Samples of the formation were sent to
the Government mill at Roosevelt Ariz.,
where a small briquette was made which
stood the test of 265 pounds' pressure,
which is above the average for thlo manu
factured product.
This find here will greatly reduce the
cost and labor of building the tunnels and
canals for Government irrigation, as It
will save transportation charges on the
cement, which would be enormous under
present conditions.
Whether or not the Government will
put In the plant for the manufacture of
tho cement Itself or let the contract to
some private Individual has not yet been
decided, but It Is now an assured fact that
the cement for the Government work will
be manufactured on the ground.
