A truce has been called In the war waged by Mrs. "Dolly" Lona Tucker fin the Army and civil courts against her husband. Colonel "William F. Tucker, u. 8.

The ar rangement has been made between Haynle R. Pearson, attorney for Mrs. Tucker, and Leo J. Doyle, counsel for the bill waa by Cotterill, of King, who parted from his old friends of the dry line up In the regular session and voted With the Ruth faction on this issue today. "This abolishment of office is an at tempt at punishment." he said. "This Is a short cut to a result, but there is no short cut to justice, which does not de feat Justice. Lynch law Is never justifi able, and least of all when undertaken by a Legislature. Wo would be prostituting: the highest power of the state to an Ig noble purpose. Let us serve notice on the House that we expect it to do Its duty and then do our duty. Tou say: Tf haven't time. It will cost too much.' I a nl prepared to do my sworn duty. Are there imputation that members of tins body are so base as to refuse to convict on sufficient evidence when submitted? We have no right to assume It. But if there are. It is Just as much a duty to errand such men and let them stand out before the public as it is to brand the In surance Commissioner." Paulhamua Is Outspoken. During the discussion. Paulhamua admitted that impeachment was the proper course, but declared the people wanted Schlvely out, and that he would always vote against him. Graves criti cised Paulhamns for expressing an opinion when he would possibly sit aa a Judge in a cas untried. "Our committee reports this man guilty. There la no occasion for any member to plead Ignorance In this matter." retorted Paulhamua. "Is Schlvely found guiltyT" asked Potts, of King. "In my Judgment. ys." responded Paulhamua. The disposition of the bill occurred Just beforo the noon recess, and gave Colonel Tucker. Give Mrs. Tucker $20,000. The terms of agreement have not been made public, but It Is understood that Mrs. Tucker will receive property Interests valued In excess of S20.000. ( The effect will be to shut off a fur ther airing of the sensational charges jwhlch Mrs. Tucker first brought behind 'the locked doors of the Army retiring (board and Intended to launch In open court. In one of the depositions al (ready made the name of Mrs. Myrtle Piatt, ex-secretary to Colonel Tucker, is tmentioned. Mrs. Piatt was married a iXew days ago in Detroit. Mrs. Logan Peace Advocate. I "Desertion" will be the plea advanced 'by Mrs. Logan next week, and the at torneys for both sides expressed the 'desire to have the matter disposed of 'as quietly as possible. It is understood that Mrs. John A. Lo gan has been the leading advocate of jeace. To Captain Logan Tucker. 22 .years old, son of the couple, the con tinuation of the dispute also Is said to have been painful. The Tuckers were married in November. 1877. They had one other child, who died several years ago in Washington. SMOKE CAUSE OF DEATHS Government Engineer Declares With . Its Abntement Many Would Live. SYRACUSE. N. V.. June 26. A feature T)f the session today of the International Association for the Prevention of Smoke. tnow In convention here, was a letter pa ' per rend by H. M. Wilson, chief engineer of the technologic branch of the United States Geological Survey. In part he said: "No greater step in the conservation movement in the United States could be taken," said Mr. Wilson, "than the utter ; suppression of the smoke nulnuirn In mir sxeat cities. "ThlH evil is one of the great dangers wi moaern times. "The damage which smoke Inflicts ev ery year in the United States amounts to more than JG0O.000.000 in the destruction of merchandise, the defacement of buildings, the tarnishing of metals, the Injury to plant life and the greatly Increased labor uid cost or housekeeping. "According to the last report of the Na tional Conservation Commission. 150,000 ;persons die each year in the United States of tuberculosis and 100,000 are suffering from that disease at the present time. The statement is made that -with the proper hygienic conditions and absence of smoke three-fourths of the deaths from tubercu losis are preventable. As more than one third of the people of the United States live In cities, the smoke nuisance has be come a National pest and as such Vi now receiving the attention of the National Government. "Altogether the Investigations show that the smokeless American city is entirely possible and that it will come when the public conscience is thoroughly awakened to the enormous waste of natural and hu man resources through this evil." SCHIVELY IS IMPEACHED (Continued Prom First Para) quired for the impeachment trial there Is nothing to prevent further prolongation In consideration of mis cellnneous legislation. Bills are ap penring in notn nouses. Two were introduced today In the lower branch and five In the Senate, none of which deal with matters of investigation. No concurrent resolution has been adopt ed. the House today having laid on the table the Nichols Senate resolution restricting legislation to Investigation matters and the repeal and modifica tion of appropriation bills. The Senate referred to committee, the House reso lution confining work to the lnvestlga tlou. The Impeachment resolution was intro duced in the House by Slayden. of Pierce Iteiilck. of King, and Lambert, of What com. Warm personal friends of Schlvely who had stood out in the regular session against an investigation, voted silently and deliberately for Impeachment today. Friends Believe Him Guilty. Mm. "Dolly" Loxaa Tucker, Wlto la to Get Divorce From Iter Husband, Colonel William Tncfcer, suid Property Val ued at S 20,000. the House ample notice of the Senate's feeling toward abolishment of the office. The House took up the Impeachment resolution promptly at 2 o'clock and Immediately sent word to the Senate that It had so acted. The Senate has authorized the Judl clary committee to make rules for the trial, but when the trial will com mence is a matter of speculation. Method of Impeachment. The House committoe of seven will begin at once formulating the articles of Impeachment. These articles must be reported to the House and adopted or rejected, and this cannot be done before Monday afternoon. If the arti cles are accepted, the House then ap points a committee as managers of impeachment proceedings. These man agers will appear before the bar of the Senate, state that the House has Impeached, that the articles will be ex hibited In due time and demand that the Senate order the appearance of the accused to answer. The House as body has nothing further to do with the proceedings, and the Senate to con vlot .must do so by two-thirds vote of all the members. iVhtvcly's name was mentioned only in the rending of the resolution by the clerk. but his actions were referred to fre quently during the day in the discussions over continuing the committee. One of the most striking incidents of the session, and Indicative of this change of sentiment among some of the mem bers, occurred in the afternoon, when Heach, of Mason, In speaking on the con tinuation of the Investigation, said with emotion: "You will all remember how I stood in the closing hours of the regular session en the resolution providing for an investi gation. I believed then that the resolu tion was directed at one man, and that one man. Jack Schlvely. was one of my warmest personal friends. I believed in him and I believed what he told me, but the proceedings of this committee and Its report have convinced me that my friend was fnlse. Other matters have come up and the word has gone forth throughout the state that all our state officers are crooked. 1 believe now that a general In vestigation Is necessary for the proteo tlon for those who are Innocent of wrong doing as well as for the punishment of those who have been guilty." While the impeachment resolution went thiouph the House in a calm and orderly manner, the Palmer bill in the Senate provoked a heated discussion in tha Senate. One of the principal addresses-against ATTORNEY ATTACKS JURISTS Dewolfe, of Tacoma, Insists Supreme Court Should Be Impeached. OLTMPIA. "Wash., June 25. (Staff Cor respondence.) Urging the house to inaugu rate Impeachment proceedings against every member of the Supreme Court but one, Herbert N. Dewolfe, a Tacoma law yer, eent a communication to the Legisla ture today setting forth his reasons why this action should be taken. Dewolfe declares that the Supreme Court has decided four cases against him in each of which ' the law and the facts were clearly on his side, and that in one of them the court decided absolutely in direct contravention of the state con stitution. He Insists that this is a viola tion of the Justices' oaths of office. De wolfe Incorporates a letter he had writ ten to the Governor making these charges and also the Governor's reply. Governor Hay suggested that Dewolfe submit evi dence of misconduct by the court If he had any. Dewolfe tells the Legislature that the evidence Is to be found in the records of the cases decided against him. Judge Emmet N. Parker Is exempted be cause he did not participate in the hear ings. Dewolfe waa formerly City Attorney of West Seattle, and at one time was Aned" for contempt of court for advising the city officers to proceed with a special election which had been enjoined. He appealed to the Supreme Court and the court sustained the conviction. The com- Lmunlcatlon was referred to the House judiciary committee. Both houses today passed Beach's bill making the State Treasurer custodian of all the funds of the state college. In the House, although Todd of Whitman, speak ing for the regents, declared they favored such a "bill, Beach opened an attack on Frank J. Barnard, treasurer of the col lege, declaring that Barnard had de posited to his own credit interest col lected on the funds, and had turned this Interest back to the proper channels only Just prior to arrival at Pullman of the Investigating committee. Barnard was defended by Todd, who declared Barnard deposited the interest In his- name on instructions from the regents, and not for his own benefit. The bill received but two opposing votes In the House and passed unanimously in the Senate. Bills were Introduced in the Senate to day repealing the Wenatchee bridge ap propriation, amounting to $210,000, includ ing the Interest: repealing the Upper Co lumbia River improvement appropriation of $50,000; repealing the exemption of Supreme Judges from the primary law provisions; repealing the Metropolitan Park bill all measures of the last ses siona relief mil for the Olympia Na tional Bank and the Duwamlsh waterway bill.

Companies Required to Send Time of Filing Messages Make Sender Pay Extra. NEW YORK, June 26. (Special.) Tha bill recently passed by the Legislature of the State of Massachusetts, compelling telegraph companies to carry the time of filing on all messages became operative June 16. The Western Union Telegraph Company issued a printed order to. Its employes In that state. Instructing them to comply with tha law, but to charge the sender for the extra words necessary to carry the filing time, and the order de mands that five or six words extra be charged for. This meant a raise In the cost of a 25-cent message by about 50 per eent. The Postal Telegraph Company also intimated its Intention to mako this extra charge. This action qs tlio part ot do-old tele graph companies aroused a storm of in dignation all over the state and the press Is commenting in strong terms on the situation. Tho Boston Post in an edi torial states: "The bill requiring this to ba done was passed by the present Legislature. No member of the Legislature in voting for this measure could have had any notion that the telegraph companies would take advantage of a verbal hiatus, and in ef fect raise the rata of a 10-word message about BO per cent. For the telegraph companies to do this Is an Insolent de fiance of the General Court of Massachu setts, unparalleled in the state's relations with public service corporations. Tha Legislature, with due regard to its own self-respect and dignity, can do no less than promptly meet and rebuke this ex traordinary exhibition of corporate arro gance. "It is entirely clear that the objection of the telegraph companies is not to tha expense or trouble involved. -a. very aim pie system of code signals would enable the companies to place the time of filing upon their state messages. Two or three code letters over tho wire would accom plish the result at nominal expense and trouble. Tho real objection of tha telegraph companies la theX tha stating of the time of filing a meesAsjo would reveal tho long and inexcusable delays to which mes sages are often subjected. "But the reason why the telegraph Is used at all Is to save time In transmit ting a message, and when the public pays for such expedition, it certainly has a right to know whether the service for which it pays is rendered. "That a few telegraph moguls in New York should defy the Legislature of Mas sachusetts as they have done in this in stance, is simply Intolerable."
