RETAINS HIS TITLE
Sutton Is Still Champion at
18.2 Billiards.
HOPPE PLAYS IN POOR FORM
Sutton Challenges Loser fop 18.1
Championship and Accepts Chal
lenge From Morningstar
for 18.2 Match.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. George Sutton
still holds the world's championship at
18.2 balkllne billiards, having- tonight
successfully defended the title, which
he won from George Slosson a few
months go, against the challenge of
"Willie Hoppe, who holds the world's
championship at the 18.1 score.
Score: Sutton, 500; average, 26 6-19;
high run, 107. Hoppe, 258; average,
13 11-19; high run, 78.
The contest, which took place in the
Grand Central Palace, was rather dis
appointing, as young Hoppe did not
play up to the standard expected of
him. He was the favorite, but from
the beginning seemed to be off in his
play. Sutton Jumped into the lead at
the start, and, with 107 and B0 In the
first two innings, secured an advantage
which the younger player could not
overcome.
Morningstar of this city challenged
Sutton tonight for the 18.2 champion
ship, and Sutton agreed to play him in
Chicago 30 days hence. Sutton also
challenged Hoppe tonight for the 18.1
title, and this game will be decided at
Madison Square Garden, three weeks
after the Morningstar game.
TIGHT BOTH MEN SAME DAY
Jeffries Offered Purse of $50,000 to
Beat Burns and O'Brien.
NEW YORK, Dec. IS. (Special.)
"Tex" Rlckard, the Nevada prizefight
promoter, announced tonight his wil
lingness to give a $50,000 purse for a
battle with James J. Jeffries, champion
of the world, as the central figure.
Klckard wants Jeffries to fight "Phila
delphia Jack" O'Brien and "Tommy"
Burns to a finish in one ring on the
same day, the event to take place at
Goldfield early in May.
"From what I have been able to
gather on my trip through the East
and West," said Rlckard, "the sporting
public is quite satisfied that O'Brien
and Burns have no chance individually
against Jeffries. They believe, however,
that both of them would cause the big
fellow to extend himself in one day, so
I have decided to try and give the
public what it wants.
"I will hang up a purse of $50,000 for
the event, and the fighters can divide
it as they see fit. Now it is up to Jef
fries, O'Brien and Burns to meet and
sign articles of agreement. I don't
. think Jeffries can have much cause for
complaint. He is a big, powerful man
and, as the champion, 1 don't see how
he can refuse the offer i Burns and
O'Brien are willing."

Carmen's Counsel Has Correction
Made in Proffered Schedule.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. IS. George H
Chapman, vice-president and' general
manager of the United Railroads, spent
the morning as a witness before the ar
bitration board engaged in adjusting the
dispute between the company and the
carmen. One point upon which Attorney
Albert Jolinson, for the carmen, laid
stress was the absence of Pacific Coast
cities from the schedule of wages and
hours prepared by Messrs. Chapman and
llipps. He pointed out that no mention
wag made of. the wages paid in Portland
San Diego, Seattle or Spokane, which he
deemed essential to a thorough .under
standing of the situation. Attorney
Moore agreed to have the omission cor
rected.
When Johnson attempted to learn
something about the earnings of the
company. Attorney Moore stopped him.
Johnson declared that any court would
take cognizance of the fact that the rail
road company has saved $500.0(10 by in
Mailing electric lines, and the profits
must be taken into consideration in fixing
the wages.
Richard Cornelius, president of the car
men's union, was a witness in support of
the eight-hour schedule which had been
submitted.
WORKING IX LOOSE DIRT.
Miners Are Xow Directly Above the
Buried Hicks. ,
BAKERS FIELD, Cal.. Dec. IS. The
rescue party at Edison Camp is to
night working on loose dirt and de
composed granite but a few feet from
lllcks. the buried miner. Despite their
proximity to him, however, the chances
flTftLE OF BOY'S LIFE
for delivery are as
.they were two days
neers offer no hope o
12 hours and perhaps 24.
The substance in which the rescuers
are working is debris from the fallen
tunnel, and it yields to the touch as
readily as sand. Progress is further
delayed by the overpowering fear that
at the last minute a false jar will re
lease the rock that threatens Hicks,
and cheat the rescuers of the victory
for which they have labored so long.
The miners are now directly above
Hicks, but they will cross the tunnel
over his head ant attempt to reach him
from behind.'

MONTESANO. Wash., Dec. IS. (Special.) Hon. Alex Poison, of Hoqulam, has in connection with his brother, Robert
Poison, filed with the auditor here, as trustees, articles of incorporation of the Cosmopolis & Centralla Railroad Company.
The capital stock is named at $100,000, and the objects of the company are stated lo be the construction of a railroad
south from Cosmopolis to South Bend on Wlilapa Harbor, and east from Cosmopolis to Centralla. Senator Poison says the
road will be built as outlined In the artjcles of Incorporation, and that construction work would begin early in the coming
Spring, starting from Cosmopolis and extending over the two routes to South Bend and Centralla. The preliminary sur
vey Is practically completed and nearly all of the right of way is secured.
tt Is generally understood the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Is back of the new line, that company having had cruis

over the lines shown on the accompanying map. The Continental Timber Company, known to be an adjunct of the Mil
waukee system, has lately been securing all the timber lands that could be bought In Chehalls County contiguous to this
survey.

"Steamer Day'' Is Abolished.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 18. By a vote
of 616 to 74 the Merchants' Association of
this city decided to abolish "steamer
day," which tins been in existence since
the days of the Argonauts. Before the
railroad came it was the custom of the
steamers to depart on the loth and 30th
of each month. On the 13th and 28th col
lections were made: the day following the
steamers sailed, all accounts being clear
and the merchants having clean books.
The merchants clung to this time-honored
custom until sentiment was . burned
up in the holocaust. When business was
resumed after the disaster and the in
efficiency of the system of settling ac
counts by means qf collectors - became
more apparent, the Merchants' Associa
tion set about to devise a new method
and a number, of merchants adopted the
plan of paying all bills by mailing checks.

Will H. Thompson Goes Into
Detail Before Jury.
MAY BAR FROM ARGUMENT
Lifelong Friend of Judge Emory
Draws Feeling Picture of the
Passing of the Mur
dered Jurist,
TACOMA, Dec. 18. (Special.) The de
fense of Chester Thompson, charged with
the murder of Judge George Emory
Meade, of Seattle, began today, when
Will H. Thompson, father of the accused,
took the stand and detailed, much as he
did a week ago, the actions of Chester
from boyhood.
At the conclusion of the day's session
Mr. Thompson had recounted his son's
career up to the time of his entry into
SVRVEVED ROUTE' OF THE COSMOPOLIS CENTRALIA
the University of Washington. He had
made him out as extremely eccentric, but
repeated again and again that there de
veloped in Chester nothing that indicated
violence.
Mr. Thompson will be under- direct ex
amination tomorrow. It is probable that
the cross-examination for the state will
he conducted by General Vance, and
Thompson will be put through a gruelling
mill, and many statements that he has
made will be sharply challenged. On the
other hand, Mr. Morris states that the
defense Is prepared to receive any attack
of the. state.
The voluntary appearance of Mr.
Thompson on the witness stand presents
another interesting legal point. Under
the rule of the Superior Court, as gener
ally adopted throughout the state, a per
son who testifies Is barred from making
an argument in the same case. However,
there is an exception to this rule. If
the opposite side consents, the witness,
be he at the same time'an attorney, may
make his argument. Thus, it would fol
low that Mr. Thompson must get per
mission of the state to argue, or. appeal
ing directly to the court, get a ruling
superseding that now in vogue.
Kenneth Mackintosh, Prosecuting At
torney for King County, when asked to
night if he would interpose an objection
if Mr. Thompson sought to argue the
case, said: "The state is here to make
a fight, we are not overlooking any
thing." The final decision legally lies in
the discretion of the court, and Judge
Snell is fully empowered to rule accord
ing to the dictates of his own judgment.
An impressive insight to the heart
suffering that attended the sudden death
of Judge Emory was afforded this morn
ing, in the testimony of Daniel Kelleher,
the Seattle attorney and the lifelong
friend of the dead jurist, and the only
one who received from the lips of the
dying man his story of the tragedy.
Mr. Kelleher is an orator, and the
stress of his own feelings added to the
pathos and solemnity of the picture he
drew of the death scene. Mr. Kelleher
saw Judge Emory at 3 o'clock on the
day after he was shot, in Minor Hos
pital. "When I went up to his bedside, he
smiled at me," said the witness, in a
broken voice. "After a short silence,
be said: 'This1 is a bad business." I- said
to him as we clasped hands, 'You had a
close shave. Meade.' 'Oh, no, Dan. he's
got me,' said the dying man. 'Keep up
your courage, friend.' urged Kelleher.
"Oh, no, Dan, I'm done for. I may linger
an hour or two, but it's all over.'
" 'Is there anything I can do for you,
Meade?' I said, and he asked, 'Where's
Josephine?' his wife."
Then a silence ensued, and finally Judge
Emory said: " 'It would be easy to die
if it were not for her and the six little

he said, with a groan, 'Oh, that scoun

With the conclusion of Mr. Kelleher's
testimony the state rested.
NO GOLD IX THE MEDAL.
St. Louis World's Fair Trophy
Proves a Fraud.
BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 18. A special to
the Miner from Helena says:
Among the prize winners at the
World's Fair in St. Louis was W. C.
Newton, of Bozeman. Mr. Newton was
awarded a gold medal as the first prize
for barley, wheat and oats. The medal
was received a few days ago by Mr.
Newton, and an assayer who examined
it says it was too light for gold, though
it was marked "gold medal" and bore
an inscription to the effect that it was
struck at the Philadelphia mint.
Mr. Newton had borings made .in the
medal, and the assays showed there is
not a particle of gold in it. When the
prizes were announced at St. Louis,
the quantity and fineness of the gold
to be used were described in an offi
cial declaration of the World's Fair of
ficials. Mr. Newton li proud of the
medal but he is desirous of knowing
where and how the gold was changed
into copper and zinc.
Indictments Are Xot Presented.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 18. Ex-Chief of
RAILROAD
Police Jeremiah Dinan and Abraham
Ruef were not arraigned in Judge
Dunne's court today, according to pro
gramme, owing to the fact that when the
case was called, no copies of the in
dictments were presented.
The defendants are charged with con
spiring against the public morals and
Chief Dinan is separately charged with
perjury. Assistant District Attorney
Francis J. Heney stated to the court that
he knew the copies of the indictments
had been furnished the County Clerk and
Judge Dunne expressed his surprise that
copies had not been sent to court. The
arraignment was postponed until Friday
morning.
Judge Barnett Asks Recount.
CHICAGO. Dec. 18. Assistant State's
Attorney Barnett, a negro, who was the

the recent election of municipal court
Judges, tiled a petition with the clerk o
the County Court today. In which he
asks a recount of the votes. The petition
recites that Barnett was duly elected to
the office, and that he was fraudulently
counted out by the election Judges.

Oregon Supreme Court Has Affirmed
the Judgment Entered by
Judge Ellis.
SALEM, Dec. 18. (Special.) Baker
County has at last won out in its suit
against the bondsmen of ex-Sheriff A.
H. Huntington to recover on his bond
as tax collector. This is the third time
the case has bee'n In the Supreme Court.
In this Instance the trial resulted in a
Judgment for $10,000 against Huntington,
Harry A. Duffy, A. L. Brown, James
Fleetwood, J. W. Isenhofer, J. T. Fyfer
and D. Cartwright.
On appeal the Judgment entered by
Judge Ellis is affirmed in an opinion by
Justice Moore. The opinion holds, among
other things, that the bond is not in
validated because the names of some of
the sureties were not inserted in the
body of the -bond, and that the sureties
could not limit their liabilities by put
ting figures before their signatures, there
being nothing to show what the figures
meant and their liability as expressed in
the body of the undertaking being limited
only to the full amount of the bond. It
is also held that absence of a sureties'
justification does not impair a tax col
lector's bond, as the law requires no
Justification.
M. M. White, respondent, va. Lewis Sav
age et al., appellants, from Marlon County,
William Galloway, Judge, reversed; opin
ion by Justice Halley.
This was a suit by a surety on a prom
issory note to compel the payee to proceed
against the estate of the deceased prin
cipal before suing the surety. The lower
court granted a decree in favor of plain
tiff, but the Supreme Court holds that the
holder of the note for value can proceed
against the surety first, even though he
knew the surety signed for accommo
dation only. Section 4431 of the code is
cited.
A. P. Sprague, appellant .vs. A. C. Schotte
and George Palmer Lumber Company, re
spondents, from Union County, Robert Ea.
kin. Judge, affirmed; opinion by Chief Jus
tice Bean.
Held that when the owner of land
makes a written agreement to sell the
property to another at a specified price,
but no consideration passes and the
second party has not signed the agree
ment nor bound himself in any way,
there is no contract and the owner may
revoke tne agreement to sell at any time
before the second party accepts by tend
dcring payment.
John Shannon, appellant, vs. the County
Court of Malheur County, respondent, from
Malheur County, George E. Davis', Judge,
reversed; opinion by Chief Justice Bean.
Held, that where proceedings are
brought to locate a public easement over
the lands of another, the petition shall
state the easement desired and the
County Court should determine the one
to be located and direct the viewers to
proceed accordingly. Failure to com
ply with tms requirement renders the
proceeding void.
In the matter of the estate of John Mor
rison, deceased, Cora L. Joel and Minnie
Goodman, respondents, vs. P. A. McDonald,
administrator, appellant, from Union Coun
ty. Robert Eakln, Judge, reversed; opinion
by Justice Moore.
Held, that a petition to require an
executor to file a final account should
aver that the administration has been
completed.

Malheur County. George E. Davis, Judge, on
