SHUT THEATERS ON SUNDAY
TACOMA MINISTERS WILIi EN
FORCE LAW IF VALID.
Want Chief of Police to Suppress
"Salome" If Objectionable, but
Malaney Wants Backing. .
TACOMA, Wash.. May 18 (Special.)
Plans for a general movement to close
the Sunday theaters in Tacoma were dis
cussed at the meeting of the Ministerial
Alliance today. As there is a case now
pending before the Supreme Court, in
which the interpretation of the Sunday
closing law is to be settled, it was de
cided to take no definite action for the
present. Judging from the statements
made by -a number of the ministers the
matter will not be dropped and if the law
can be made to hold, the time of the
Sunday theater promises to be brief.
Chief of Police Maloney stated tonight
that representatives of the Tacoma min
isters had called on him to urge him to
take some action to suppress the perform
ance of "Salome," If it should prove to
be objectionable.
"I told them." Chief Maloney said, "that
there was nothing doing. If the ministers
will agree to pay all the damage suits
that such a move on my part would cause,
I might take some action. As it is I do
not think it is my place to put a stop to
the performance."

VANCOUVER, Wash., May 13.
(Special) W. E. Daly. Vho died at
his home in this county, near Brush
Prairie, on May 8, was one among
the staunch pioneers of Clark County.
He was born in Niaftara County. New .
York, November 3. 1833. He left his
place of birth when 1ft years old and
settled in Stevenson County, Illinois.
Three and one-half years later he
married Miss Eunice Kauttman. In
1861, in response to his country's call,
he enlisted In Company A, Forty
ninth Infantry of Wisconsin Volun
teers, and served as a soldier until the
close of the war. In 1875 he moved
to Clark County, and' has since re
sided here. He reared a family of
twelve children, nine of whom are
still living, and with the surviving
widow were present at the deathbed.
His children living are: Mrs. Clara

Claus, Portland. Or.; Mrs. Mary
Lyons, Sara, Wash.; Mrs. Olive Bell,

should have every reasonable doubt
resolved in hia favor no there should be
no difficulty In securing a jury.
The case of Jesse Laike, who eloped
with his wife's sister, and the recent
case of Frank Guajardo, who killed H.
M. Swarthout at Case's mill last Wed
nesday, will also come to trial at this
term. Guajardo Is confined In the County
Jail here, while Oleman and Luke are in
the Portland jail.
The grand jury may be called upon to
inquire into the moral condition of the
village of Scappoose, which appears to
have acquired the -bad eminence hereto
fore conceded to Rainier. Bcappoose is a
Tillage of about 100 inhabitants, yet tt has
three saloons and, so far as gambling
Is concerned. Is what is known as an
open town, games being: carried on with
out any attempt at concealment. Ajs it
has no town organization there is no
officer to preserve order and the tougher
element runs things according to Its
own ideas. There Is, however, an
element that favors law and order and
these people are apt to put in an ap
pearance in the grand Juryroom.
This will be the first session of Circuit
Count held in the new Courthouse, which
was recently finished at a cost, including
steel cells, heating apparatus, furniture
and equipments, of about $35.0)0. It Is
built entirely of basaltic rock, taken from
the quarries here, is two stories and a
basement, and is considered a remarkably
fine building for the amount expended.
The Circuit Courtroom, which is one of
the finest in the state, will be especially
appreciated by the Portland attorneys.

TOOKJUDGE'SWORD
Frazer's Letter Had to Do
With Pardon of White.
WHY THE GOVERNOR ACTED
Jurist Considered Convicted Man
Had Suffered Sufficiently and
Clemency Would Xot Be
... Ill-Advised.
SALEM. Or.. May 13. (Special.) Judge
Frazer's criticism of the pardon of James
White, published a day or two ago, was
astounding; to Governor Chamberlain,
Who had acted partly on- Judge Frazer's
-representations in extending clemency to
White. In a letter dated March 16. 190",
In answer to an inquiry from the Gover
nor concerning the White case. Judge
Frazer briefly stated the facts and said
at that at the time of the trial the crime
seemed to.nlm to have been a very out
rageous and unjustifiable one. He then
remarked that "while the crime was a
very atrocious one, and James White was
the one person actively concerned In Its
commission, there Is no doubt in my mind
that it was the Jesult of a conspiracy
between himself and h'.s partners, Harry
White and William Smith. I am also
Informed and have reason to believe that
notwithstanding;-this act James White is
probably the moFt decent and law-abiding
of all the, men who have been en
gaged In the sailor boarding-house busi
ness for many years past."
Judge Frazer says in his letter that
the convictions had a decidedly beneficial
effect upon sailor boarding-house abuses;
that White has "led an honorable life
since his conviction; that he had borne
a good reputation prior thereto, and that
he has suffered Intensely on account of
his dread of having to go to the peni
tentiary. The letter continues: -
"I have no doubt that as far as punish
ment is concerned Mr. White has already
suffered -full punishment for his crime,
and If -that were the -only matter to be
considered I should say that he deserved
a pardon." , . i
Taking another view of the case, how
ever. Judge Frazer said that the grant
ing of a pardon might encourage a re
turn to sailor boarding-house methods.
If a pardon should be granted on account
of the long delay, four years, the im
pressslon might go abroad that a delay
should be fought for on that account,
and certainly long delays in the trials
of cases ought not to be encouraged.
Closing his letter. Judge Frazer wrote:
"I have no recommendation to make
regarding White's pardon. If the matter
were In my hands, as It Is In yours. I
confess that I should feel considerable
doubt as to the course which ought to
be followed.'.
The petition for White's pardon was
signed by 10 of the trial Jurors and by
nearly all of the leading shipping men of
Portland. While Judge. Frazer did not ex
pressly recommend a pardon, his letter

was construed to mean that he would

TWO FISHERMEN DROWNED
Boat Swamped About Mouth of Co
lumbia Rescuers Endangered.
ASTORIA. Or.. May 13. (Special.) The
first drowning among the local fishermen
since the present season opened occurred
shortly before noon today In the cut-off
channel about a mile below the Republic
Spit, and the victims were Carl Junttlla
and his boat-puller. William Jarvi, who
fished for the Columbia River Packers'
Association.
As the Cape Disappointment life-saving
crew was returning from a cruise about
the mouth of the river in its motor boat,
a -boat was seen to capsize "in the break
ers about 200 yards away, and the oc
cupants were thrown into the water. One
of the men sank immediately and the
other attempted to -climb on the over
turned boat, but it is supposed he be
came entangled in the net as he also
sank before the life crew could reach
him. -
The propeller of the life boat also
became entangled in the web while at
tempting the rescue and nearly swamped
before being released. The fish boat was
recovered and towed to Fort Canby. It
wa marked "C. R. P. A. No. 3 Ore.
702," and from this the identity '"of the'
men was learned.
Both Junttlla and Jarvi were natives of
Finland, and about 40 and 22 years of
age, respectively. Neither was married,
but Junttlla had fished on the Columbia
River ' for a number of vears.
