Mr. Carter Iccllne to Surrender
Deed and by Force and Strat
egy Balks Kfforte of
Officers of Law,
PHERrPAN. Or.. July . (Special.)
Woman' ingenuity, coupled m-tth Jhe
persuasive arency of a loaded musket
in the hands of Mrs. il. J. Carter, wife
of a prosperous rancher llTlngr three
miles sooth of here, has created a bar
. rler on the Carter farm through which
G. V. Henderson, the Sheriff of Yamhill
County, and A. M. Fannin, the Mayor
of Sheridan, have been unable to pene
trate. As a result. Mrs. Carter now
stands master of a situation that prom
ises to enmesh attorneys, real estate
aa-ents. bankers, court officials and
county records In a labyrtnthlan legal
tancle.
Mrs. Carter drove the Mayor of Sher
idan from hjrr premises one day last
week at the point of a shotgun, and a
few days later, by a shrewd watchful
ness, was able to blanket the efforts of
the Tamhlll County sheriff to serve a
warrant for her arrest. The house of
Carter stands within a few feet of the
dlvtdlns; line between Polk and Tam
hlll Counties, and when Sheriff Hen
derson approached the hack door,
which opens to the vista of Yamhill
County, he was met by the decorous
parley of Mrs. Carter, who forebore to
leave the security of that part of her
tiome that lies within the County of
Pol k.
Dissatisfied with the preliminary n
BTotlatlons which Mrs. Carter made with
the Mayor and others for the sale of
her land early last week, she came to
a bank In Sheridan and eecureo tne
deed to the ranch, which was held in
escrow by the bank. This Is the prle
now coveted by the Mayor. A legal
suit has been instituted by the pros
pective buyers, alleglnar a breach of
contract on the part of Mrs. Carter, but
thus far she had declined to accept
monetary offers to bind the transac
tion, and declares she will not until
she Is satisfied that there Is no trick
ery connected with the transfer.
It Is the object of the plaintiffs to
brine suit In Yamhill County, where
legal expenses will be minimized, dtie
to the proximity of the county seat. If
action is becun In Polk County. It will
swing the stage of controversy to Dal
las, the county seat of Tolk County,
which Is more nearly inaccessible from
this city.
The convenient toposrraphy of the
Carter farm. In that the boundary line
between the two counties offers Imme
diate exit from the province of the law
on either side. Is regarded as a stum
bling block that will handicap seriously
the prosecution of the suit by the
plalotiKs.

BOISE. Idaho. July 9. (Special.)
The aolutlon of the social evil In Boise
now and for the future was planned
here last week at a conference held
between Mayor Crltchman and a com
mittee of ministers. It was decided to
permit IS women to form the tempor
ary tenderloin and later to banish them
from the city one by one. Not all the
minister agreed to the Mayor's plan.
It was decided that the IS women
who are to be permltetd to remain shall
have police protection until their ban
ishment Is decided on. It was distinct
ly understood that there shall be no
system of "licenses." or fines, and that
the police shall redouble their efforts
to protect young women on the street
and to enforce the curfew law.
The plan has developed both approval
and disapproval and will continue to be
a live Issue in city government.

MURDER CONVICT FREED
r.VKDOX fOMKS AFTER MAN
HAS SERVED 10 YEARS,
Governor Hawley, Who Grants Par
don. Prosecutor at Time ex-Prls-oner
Va Convicted of Crime.
BOISE. Idaho. July . For the first
time In the history of Idaho a prisoner
convicted of murder In the first degree
and later saved from the gallows by a
commutation of life Imprisonment, has
been alven a full and unconditional
pardon by the State Board of rardons.
i;eorge Levy this weeg warned irom
the penitentiary a free man. after 10
years of confinement.
Levy waa convicted or tne murder ot
a man ot his own name. Lavia ievy.
at the time reputed to be one of the
richest men In Idaho.
Public sentiment ha always been
divided as to the Justice of the sentence
of Levy. When his case came to trial
James IL Hawley waa Prosecuting At
torney and following one of the most
sensational and hardest fought crlm-
lnal trials this city has ever seen, se
cured Levy's conviction. Now as Gov
ernor of the state and chairman ot the
Board of Pardons Governor Hawley
waa one of the most pronounced In his
stand to free the man whose convic
tion he had secured.
Although the crime was committed
In October of 1901. I,evy was not ar
rested and tried until several months
later. His alleged victim was a bache
lor, residing at S11S Main street, and
his body was not discovered until two
days following the crime. At the time
of his death Levy was TO years old.
George Levy was known as a respect
able man and his arrest came as a
surprise. The state wove a chain of
circumstantial evidence about htm In
such a way as to make his guilt seem
certain to a Jury and he was found
guilty of the crime. Influence was
brought to bear upon the Pardon Board
to commute the sentence. Believing
that there might be a possibility that
he waa not guilty and It so he had
paid for the crime, the Board this
week gave the prisoner an uncondi
tional pardon.
Rudolph Wetter, sentenced to life
from Idaho County for murder, had
his sentence commuted to 40 years.
He was a blacksmith of Grangevllle
and up to the time of the crime was
held In high respect. The fact that
his wife waa left to care for his fam
ily had Its Influence with the Board.
Frank Papa, convicted of murder In
the second degree tn Kootenai County,
was granted a pardon by the Board.
The application of Thomas Sully for
pardon for the crime of larceny, com
mitted In Blaine County in 1910, was
denied, as was the application ot
James W. Thompson, accused and con
vlcted of manslaughter, committed In
Bannock County.

Goldendale Fruit and Produce As

in Freight Rates in. Time to
Move Season's Crap.
! GOLDEKDALB, Wash., July S-Spe- I
V I
clal.) Oraln producers of the KllcKltat I
Valley are up In arms over the delay of
the North Bank railway officials In re.
spondlng to the demand of the Golden
dale Fruit and Produce Association for
a reduction In freight rates.
That the railroad officials are merely
playing for time and do not intend to
change the rates now In effect is tne
belief f members of the association.
Responding to the request that a re
duction be made In grain rates from this
section In time to give growers here op
portunity to move this year's crop under
a lowered tariff, W. E. Coman, general
freight and passenger agent for the
North Bank road, failed to satisfy mem
bers of the association that the road
had any intention of making the desired,
reduction. Mr. Coman'! letter was read
at a meeting of the board of trustees
of the Fruit and Produce Association
yesterday.
Feeling against the apparent stand
that tho company has taken In regard
to the sought-for reduction In grain rates
Is strong here, and it was determined
to commence an active fight to bring
about a change. Agitation will be begw
to secure reduction not only on grain
rates but on carload lots of all com
modities shipped from this valley.
H. J. Clark, manager of the associa
tlon. has been instructed to give his en
tire attention to the matter so long as
it may be deemed necessary. Movement
to enlist the co-operation of the Farm
ers' Union and every grange In the val
lev has been started.
Data are now being collected regarding
the amount of the grain crop and the
rates in force, and these facts, together
with the causes for complaint, will be
presented to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The association is also cenferring with
the Open River Transportation Company
in regard to river rates. If satisfactory
rates can be secured ana arrangements
nude so that the grain crop can db
moved by water with sufficient conven
ience. It Is said to be probable that this
will be done.
RICH TIMBER BELT TAPPED
Portland Men Interested In Exten
sion of Idaho Railroad.
LEWISTON", Idaho, July 9. (Spe
cial.) According to the plana mapped
out by Z. A. Johnson, president of the
Nez rerce & Idaho Railroad, the clos
ing of negotiations in which A. Welch
and associates of Portland purchased
the light and power plant, franchises
and the saw mill owned by Mr. John
son, the early extension of the line
through the north I4aho country from
Vollmer to Forest, Idaho, is assured.
The line taps a rich timber and rain
belt, terminating at Lewlston.
Mr. Johnson was in Lewiston lately
to meet R. R. Montague, of Port
land, an associate of Mr. Welch. The
Portland railroad maiaj would not make
public any plans which were to be
worked out, but It is known that the
proposed plans will include the above
ruote.
Since the sale of the power and light
plant to the Portland company, there is
$70,000 available from this source to
gether with 1125.000 In bonds. This
amount it is estimated will be suffi
cient to complete the extension. The
report current in Lewiston today is
that Mr. Welch and associates will be
come affiliated with Mr. Johnson.
The extension will be operated chief-
