    SCHIVELY TO TRY
TO DISQUALIFY 16
Attorney Israel Starts
His Defense.
HAY AND BELL ARE ATTACKED
Said to Set Themselves Above
State Constitution.
SPITE IS BROADLY HINTED
Pchlvely's TCemoYal Said to Be De
sired by Certain Politicians and
Newspapers Arg-ument Char
acterized as Pettifogging.
OlTMFIA, "Wash., Auk. 11. (Staff Cor
respondence. V-In a Vpeech'beforethe" Im
peachment court of the State Senate7iast
ing two hours this afternoon. George C.
Israel, attorney for J. H. Schlvely, the
Insurance Commissioner on trial, argued
that 18 of the 42 members of the Senate
had disqualified themselves to elt as
judges, and that Governor Hay and Attorney-General
BW! had arrogated to
themselves powers superior to the state
constitution.
In hl addrese Israel frequently referred
to Hay ns the man "who is acting Gov
ernor for a while." and characterized the
attempted Impeachment of Schlvely as a
desire of certain politicians and newspa
pers to destroy him. His argument called
out a charge of petifogglng from Meigs, of
the Impeachment committee.
Senators Alleged Disqualified.
Israel's contention concerning the IS
Senators is that Allen and Flshback.
members of the Investigating committee,
have already expressed the opinion, in
their report to the Governor, that Schl
. vely should be removed by impeachment
or abolishment of the office; that the
other 14 disqualified themselves by going
Into a caucus called by the Governor and
signing an agreement to pass the Falmer
bill abolishing the office of Insurance
Commissioner without any finding as to
the result or innocence of the accused of
ficer. Panlhamus Donbly Accused.
The 14 Senators charged with having so
disqualified themselves are Anderson, of
Spokane; Arrasmith, of Adams; Blair, of
San Juan; Brown, of Whatcom: Bryan, of
Kitsap: Davis, of Douglas; Cox. of Walla
Walla; Falconer, of Snohomish: Mc
Gregor, of Whitman; Myers, of Lincoln:
Poison, of Chehalls; Stevenson, of Gar
field, and Fatiand and Faulhamus, of
Pierce. Further objection to Paimlhamus
Is raised on the ground that lie expressed
a belief In the guilt of the Insurance Com
missioner in presenting the resolution in
tha Senate calling for the appointment of
the Investigating committee.
The challenge of the IS Senators was
heretofore filed In the answer of Schlvely
to the impeachment charges. When the
Senate resolved Itself Into a court of im
peachment this afternoon. Attorney Israel
Immediately called up this challenge and
entered into his argument.
Israel Cites His Proof.
That biased Judges are Incompetent to
elt In trials la a well-known rule of law
recognized everywhere," was the asser
tion of Mr. Israel, and he then read ex
tensively from authorities, finally refer
lng to the committee's report, to Paul
fcamus resolution, and. lastly, to the cau
cus summoned by the Governor on the
Talmer bill and the signing by a mlpority
of the Senate to support it. '
Thus does Mr. Hay rise above and de
clare himself superior to the constitu
tion." said Israel. "He would, by a ma
jority vote, abolish the office without
proof of the charges against the Incum
bent except the opinion of M. B. Hay."
Kdge Takes Exceptions.
The references to the Governor were
objected to by Representative Kdge, of
the House impeachment comrnltte, who
suggested to Presiding Officer Ruth that
he call the attention of counsel to the
fact that he was not confining himself to
the questions before the house. Ruth an
nounced that Israel might proceed and
J-'aleoner. of Snohomish, asked that five
Senators appeal from the decision of the
chair. Five Senators did not respond
and Ruth announced that he was not
aware that counsel was getting away
from the rules, but mould watch more
closely.
"I was calling attention to the fact,".
said Israel, "that your disqualification
was not worked by yourself, but by
Governor Hay upon the advice of the
Attorney-General, by caucusing and by
agreeing to support the Palmer bill. By
agreeing to remove the respondent from
office without the formality of a trial
you have unfitted yourselves to give him
a fair and impartial trial. You are not
worthy as Judges.
Israel Cries for Fustic.'
"Tou may think you can forget all
these things and you may destroy John
H. Schlvely without trial, because certain
politicians and certain newspapers de
mand it. You may have the power to
tear him down, but a sense of Justice
demands his trial by fair and Impartial
Judges. If you persist In sitting, your
consciences will rise up in the still hours
of the night and accuse you. Tou may
be Judges In name, but not in fact.'"
In replying. Representative Sparks, of
HOME OF RECALLED
MAYOR IS BURNED

HOl'SE IX FliAMES.
Dr. Law Away From Home at Time
and Nobody Is in Hot Many
Depredations Precede.
CN'ION'. Or., Aug. 11. (Special.) The
home of Dr. C. H. Law, ex-Mayor and
center of the recall fight raging here,
was destroyed by fire tonight.
Dr. Law waa at Cove on professional
business at the time, and nobody was in
the house. A woman in a near-by
dwelling saw the blaze first, and she
says flames came from the back kitchen
and from the front room at the same
ttme. Although some of the doctor's In
struments were saved, the house, valued
at 3OO0. is a total loss.
The town of Union is greatly wrought
up. This Is but another of a series of
violent acts directed against the city of
ficers, since the fight grew hot shortly
after July 4. At one time Councilman
Pratt's garden was overrun by cattle.
Chains have been thrown through Mayor
Law's windows. Councilman Dalton had
a set of new harness cut to strings while
he was away from home. Tonight's fire
marks the climax thus far. Dr. Law
came home about 11 o"clock. and said all
his property waa tied up In Union, and
this blow would be a heavy one for him.
SHYLOCK WIELDS HIS KNIFE
Because Santa, Ana Can't Pay, San
chex Takes Flesh.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 11. (Special.)
Because Ramon Santa Ana, a laborer,
could not pay a debt of 25 cents to Frank
Sanchez, a fellow-laborer at Latin, the
latter took half a pound of flesh from his
debtor. Santa Ana came to the Receiv
ing Hospital today for treatment of the
mutilated arm. from which the muscle
was practically stripped. The police are
seeking Sanchez.
"I could not pay the two-bits." snld
Santa Ana to the doctors at the Receiv
ing Hospital, "when he came for it yes
terday, and Frank pulled a big knife
from his bootleg and got me. He said:
" 'I'll have a pound -of flesh.' and he
got a big piece! I don't think it Is a
pound, though. I tried to get away, but
he was too quick for me. He made one
Jump with his big knife and you see what
he did."
The bone of Santa Ana'B left arm was
barely covered with flesh, so close did his
assailant come to getting Shylock's toll.

PROBE COMMITTEE
Investigation Becomes
Rather Spicy.
WANTS TO RETRACT WORDS
Says Testimony Was Given
When Only Semi-Conscious.
WOULD CLEAR MR. PALMER
Specifies Details of Immoral Con
duct or Morrow, Who' Brought
Her Into Case, That Cause Him
to Get Angry in Session.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 11 (Staff
Correspondence.) Mrs. Sarah L. Brown,
the alleged intermediary between Dr. J.
Eugene Jordan and E. B. Palmer in the
purported attempt to "fix" the Supreme
Court in the Ramsey quiet-title case,
roasted the Halsey investigating com
mittee to a turn tonight, refused to be
quieted by the members, and delivered
a tirade against P. V. Morrow, whose
testimony Monday in Seattle brought
her into the case.
Mrs. Brown, who fainted when on the
stand In Seattle yesterday, accused the
committee of abuse in calling her out
of a sick bed and subjecting her to rigid
cross-examination. She said part of her
testimony given yesterday waa given
when she was semi-com.cious and was in
correct. Court Xot Corrupted.
Mrs. Brown testified that she went to
H. B. Palmer as a matter of securing
additional counsel in the Ramsey case,
having been financing the proposition;
that after Palmer had talked over the
case with her attorney, Mr. Allen,
Palmer had expressed the opinion there
was no show to win it and refused to take
it on a contingent fee.
Mr. Palmer, she said, was willing to
take the case on a payment of JIOcll. but
when she reported the matter to Dr. Jor
dan they decided they did not have the
money to expend. There was no talk
of corruption of the Supreme Court, she
said.
"It Is simply ridiculous that men like
Mr. Palmer and the members of the Su
preme Court should be disgraced through
me for blackmailing purposes." she said.
"You may think it a Joke to treat me as
you did yesterday, but I am here to clear
Mr. Palmer."
Stormy Scene With Morrow.
Then turning on P. F. Morrow, who was
seated In the room, she accused him of
gross immoral conduct, specifying details
unfit for publication.
"You're a liar," shouted Morrow, and
Sergeant-at-Arms Wilson rushed to him
and forced him back in his chair.
In spite of remonstrances from the com
mittee Mrs. Brown continued In a hys
terical voice:
"I am a wife, a mother and a grand
mother, and can live down my disgrace,
but when they bring me in to blacken
the Supreme Court and Mr. Palmer, a
man with a career before him, it is a dis
grace, a shame and a stain on the state.
Mr. Palmer treated me white."
Again the committee remonstrated and

One Woman Frees Herself, Gets
Help, and Horse Has to Be Shot
to Extricate Companion.
TILLAMOOK. Or., Aug. 11. (Special.)
By the coliapse of a bridge over a small
stream on the road from Nehalem last
night, a team of horses and buggy driven
by Mrs. Ella Blanchard and Mrs. J. Davis
was precipitated into the gully.
Mrs. Davis fell clear of the wreck,
while Mrs. Blanchard was caught be
neath the struggling horses and held
down in the water. She was saved from
Immediate death by the fact that the
horses were supported by the broken and
twisted bridge wreckage.
The panic-crazed animals struggled
frightfully and both women feared mo
mentarily that the wreckage would break
up and allow them to crush Mrs. Blanch
ard to death. Finally one horse got its
head under water and was drowned.
Mrs. Davis,- who had escaped with mi
nor bruises besides a severe wetting,
found she could not extricate Mrs. Blan
chard. and set off afoot to find help.
Her absence .was short but it seemed In
terminable to Mrs. Blanchard, partly im
mersed In the icy water and fearing every
movement that the struggling horse
above would fall and crush her. .
When Mrs. Davis returned with help
the living horse was shot, and Mrs.
Blanchard was extricated, thoroughly
chilled and In a state of nervous collapso
but otherwise little Injured.

some feature this afternoon was intro
duced into the inquiry regarding the
death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, Jr.,

the legal representative of Mrs. Sutton,
the mother of the dead lieutenant,
brought to the witness-stand Dr. M. Ed
ward Shafer. of Washington, an expert
on gunshot wounds.
The people in the room crowded around
the table and gazed with interest upon
the doctor while he placed upon the table
glistening skulls, to the exterior of one
of which he affixed, in little lumps of
wax. steel rods, intended to indicate to
the members of the court the course of
the bullet in the skull cf Lieutenant Sut
ton. Doctor Plaj-s Corpse.
The doctor stretched himself upon the
table and showed by pantomime how, in
his opinion as an expert. It was quite Im
possible that Lieutenant Sutton could
ever have fired into his own head the
shot that killed him.
The witness declared that Lieutenant
Sutton could nor possibly have been able,
under the circumstances described in the
testimony, to exercise sufficient Pull on
the trigger to discharge . the weapon.
When court adjourned, the cross-examination
of Dr. Schaefer was In progress.
The evidence of Sergeant Todd, touch

Todd said that before the, shooting he
had seen Lieutenant Boelker pass the

Lieutenant Boelker came Into the guard
room and said:
"My God, Archie, I've been shot."
The finding of the bullet followed. He
acknowledged having said he often won

SPOKANE, Aug. ll.-With the stage
carefully set, the actors prepared in their
lines and an overwhelming audience in
Its place, the Ballinger battle royal
burst upon the National Irrigation Con
gress hls afternoon.
The man who, in the language of an
enthusiastic Callfo-nian, "ripped things
wide open" flr3t was Dr. George C. Par
dee, ox-Governor of , California. To say
that Dr. Pardee was entirely ready with
his lines would be a trifle in error be
cause he laid aside a portion of his
manuscript of a set speech and In his
own language "said what he had to
say."
Pardee Attacks Ballinger.
Pardee attacked Richard A. Ballinger,
Secretary of the Interior, with a fierce
ness only exceeded by that of George
Turner, ax-Senator of Washington, who
took up the cudgels in defense of Sec
retary Ballinger. These two became tho
principal actors in the little drama which
was enacted after the appearance of the
Secretary of the Interior had paved the
way for the battle.
Ballinger Loudly Cheered.
Mr. Ballinger made rather a triumphal
entry surrounded by a reception com
mittee and when he rose to speak he was
cheered for several minutes.
Previous to his introduction President
Barstow of the Irrigation Congress
achieved what was generally believed to
be an excellent bit of stage play in caus

Monday from President Taft In which
the President assured the congress of his
