afternoon given in charge of the mother
by Judge MoMaster.
Habeas corpus proceedings were brought
bv the mother. The Judge gave It as his
opinion that the Aid Society had not fur
nished sufficient, evidence that the girl
was their charge.
It was asserted by the Aid Society that
the society had been appointed the girl's
guardian, but the mother was given pos
session of the girl as long as she remained
In Oregon and took proper care of
her. This., they asserted, she did
not do. Mrs. Bldwell was notified to ap
pear before the Juvenile Court of Port

AGED BOISE CITIZEN DIES

James Birney Morrow, one of the pioneers

years. He was on of Boise's foremost
citizens. Deceased Was a veteran of the

LIKELY ROUTE OUTLINED
Milwaukee Could Avoid Conflict by
Bridging; Klickitat River. -
LTLE. Wash., Nov. 'IS. Following
the announcement that the Milwaukee
road was likely to build from the
Ahtanum Valley, In Yakima County, to
the headwaters of the Big Klickitat,
men who know the country hereabouts
are speculating aa to the probable route
between the two points. It Is regarded
au most likely that the road would come
"down the pubfle-hfghway and touch Iyla"
on the north side of Balfour alfalfa
field. Then. It is conjectured, litigation
with the Qoldendale branch, which would
be probable for 17 miles, could be avoid
ed by making only one crossing and
bridging the Klickitat River near the
Root tract. 14 miles up-river from Lyle..
-A sheepman who knows the country,
estimates the distance from Lyle to Ah
tunum by a likely railroad route as 8Q
miles. The descent to the Klickitat would
be down Panther Creek, through dense
timber. Touching the river at Lost Horse,
Prairie, the road would follow It through
the unbroken timber to Big Muddy Creek,
and thence to Lyle. Forty miles ot the
line, the sheepman says, would run
through the Takima Indian reservation.

Nchalem Commissioners - Named.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 18. (Special.) Gov

the new port of Nehalem: C. H. Wheeler,
Henry Tohl, H. B. . Alley, F. A. Rowe.
Frank Zaddach, The port has Just been
Incorporated under the terms of an act
passed at the last session of the Legislature.
Company, extinguishing all lights in
the city, brought the trial of Mrs.
Martina Kvalshaug. the alleged mur
deress, to an abrupt ending early this
afternoon. Deputy Prosecutor Bur
melster had just completed the argu
ments for the state when the court
room was thrown into darkness, nec
essitating Judge Easterday adjourning
until tomorrow. Attorney Frank H.
Kelly will then argue for the defense
this procedure being allowed, by Prose
cutor John L McMurray in the closing
arguments. The case will probably go
to the jury during the afternoon.
Deputy Burmelster In his opening
argument attacked the hypnotic the
ory of the defense bitterly. He classed
the defense advanced as a "nasty and
vicious scheme" and laid great stress
on the variance of the woman's testi
mony In the.Newcombe case and her
own.' The main part of his argument
was devoted to comparison of the two
confessions and the rehearsing of the
testimony which he said proved be
yond doubt that Mrs. Kvalshaug's al
leged confession was not made under
threats or promises of immunity or
suggestion while possibly in a hyp
notic state. He 'pointed out how the
two statements .varied, and how Mrs.
Kvalshaug's statement cited more de
tails.-"
He argued that this was proof that he
could not have suggested the statement
of the woman, because he knew nothing
of the details Newcombe had omitted.
Great crowds gathered to hear the ar
guments, but only enough to fill the seats
were admitted to the courtroom. The
women, eager for a last chance to see
the woman . before, the case closed,
rushed Into the courtroom and seized
seats. Others, who were barred by offi
cers, remained ln the hallway. There
were manv of the women who have not
mls6ed a day of either the Newcombe or
Kvalshaugh . trials, some taking their
lunches to hold their seats. During the
morning Mrs. Kvalshaug held up well
under the strain. Several times, how
ever, she wept silently, when Deputy
BurmeisteF denounced her.

BUDS TO SAVE BAD MEN
REDONDO JUDGE HANDS BOU
QUETS TO PRISONERS.
'Makes Them More Tractable,"" He
Says, and Jailer Supports
His Theory.
REDONDO BEACH, Cat.. Nov. 18.
(Special.) Believing that the beauty and
perfume of flowers have a benenciai er
feet on lawbreakers. Judge Wells, of the
local court, has distributed 5000 tube roses
and chrysanthemums among prisoners
brought before him for trial thia year.
Ordinary prisoners get a blossom wheth
er they are convicted or not, and when he
sentences a man to prison Judge Wells
hands him a bouquet.
"There is a question In my mind," said
Judge Wells today, "that flowers uplift
men who have fallen into evil ways. The
sweet fragrance of the (lowers and the
beauty of the blooms cheer them and give
them new hope. I could cite many cases
In which reform has been worked among
hardened criminals solely by the flowers
that they are allowed to have."
Judge Wells has made arrangements
with the Jailer whereby each prisoner Is
allowed a dish of water, to keep the flow
ers fresh a long as possible. The Jailer
supports Judge Wells in his theory, and
says the flowers make the prisoners more
tractable.
