" EMBRACES HIS SISTER Women of Grant's Pass Weep In Sympathy AVIien Girl on Trial for Her Iilfc Paces Her Condemned Brother. BY AV. G. MAC RAE. GRANT'S PASS. Or., Jap. 20. (Start Correspondence.) After all. thore Is a spark of manhood in Jaspor Jennings. Late this afternoon he created a .scene durinu the trial of his rfster Dora by taking the witness stand and refusing to tinswer questions put to him by the Dis lrict Attorney. He did not, however, in liis refusal to answer the questions put to him by Mr. Reames, put it on the sround that his testimony would be ugainst his itfKer, but because the District Attorney in his argument had called his voracity in question. But for the frequent objections and ex ceptions taken by counsel for Dora, the trial was progressing with groat rapidity until Jasper was brought from jail to take the stand. Only two new witnesses had toeen heard during the morning and after noon sessions. The others who had testi fied, some 17 in number, were the same "witnesses whose testimony helped to( con vict he brother of the accused girl. It was 3:25 when District Attorney Reames informed the court that he wished the Sherilt instructed to bring Jasper Ucnnings into court. In an Instant the courtroom was a beehive of buzzing con versation. It took the efforts of two "bailiffs to clear a passageway down the center of the courtroom to make an en trance for the prisoner, and as the big door swung- back admitting the con demned youth the room became as still as death. Jasper's Pace Is Set. Jennings wormed his way down the aisle of human forms, and as he faced about, desperation was written in every line of his swarthy countenance. His face was ghastly white and his eyes burned like living coals. Hatred and de llance flashed from them and as he swung about to be sworn the expression of his lace was not good to look at. Clerk F. F. Chesher administered the oath and Jennings firmly answered, "I do." in answer. Then he took the stand and for the first time since their arrest last Soptember brother and aster faced each other. . Dora was in tears, but she looked up as Jasper took his scat, and nodded in return to his look of recognition. Then she dropped her head into her hands and was convulsed with sobs. It seemed as if all the women of Grant's Pass had attended the trial. Some brought their lunches and others brought their babes in arms. Like a match touched to a train of dry powder it was whispered 'from lip to lip that Dora was crying, and many of the women began to shed tears also. Then came the scene which was to put the court and the District Attorney in amaze. Kcfuscs lo Give Testimony. To the lirst few questions put to him the boy answered in the same clear voice that marked his testimony In his own trial. But they were charged with sup pressed emotion. The prisoner's attitude showed that his back was to the wall and that he was going to make a light of it. He was only waiting for the moment to strike. It came. "1 will ask you," said the District At torney, "if you were at your father's house Thursday morning not the morning lie was found dead, but the morning of the day on which he was killed?" "Mr. Reames. I don't think I will make any statement whatever; I refuse to answer. You said I lied." District Attorney Reames stood silent lor several seconds, and while he de bated there was a faint ripple of applause in the crowded rear of the courtroom. Outside, the voices of children at play came through the courtroom, but inside the silence was tense. Mr. Reames turned slowly from the prisoner to Judge Hanna and said: "I think I shall ask Your Honor to re quire tho witness to testify." No. Way to Punish Contempt. Judge Hanna paused for a moment, then said: "Of course, the witness' refusal to tes tify constitutes contempt, but I don't know of any way I can compel him to testify. . Contempt is punishable; with an ordinary witness I could imprison him; but he is already in jail." Before Judge Hanna concluded his re marks Jasperbroke in on him. "You wouldn't believe me if I was to you said I would never tell any more lies, and for that reason I have told you all I got to say." Mr. Reames Interrupted Jasper by say ing that the jury would have to deter mine that. Once more the prisoner wit ness was asked if he would testify, and he refused even more emphatically than at first. The District Attorney then asked that the witness be taken back to the jaiL , Kisses His Sister Bora. Judge Hanna remanded him to the cus tody of the Sheriff, and instantly the color rushed into Jasper's cheeks. He stepped down from the chair with a smile on his lips, and as he passed outside of the rail ing he stopped where Dora was sitting, and bending affectionately ' over her, he put his arms around her tenderly and kissed her. Then he straightened up and followed Sheriff Lewis out of the court room, and as he passed out another faint rjpple of applause could be heard. From the time tho first witness was sworn at the opening of court until Jas per left the stand It was clear the state had a legal battle on its hands. Attor neys Colvig and Durham are fighting every inclr of the way and the proceed ings are interspersed with objections and exceptions. The big wrangle came up late this afternoon when District Attorney Reames sought to introduce six statements signed by Dora Jennings. Attorney Colvig ob jected to the introduction of these state ments, on the ground that they were ob tained after the Information had been flled against the prisoner, not at a pre liminary hearing and while she was with out legal advice. Judge Hanna ruled the statements in, but while this point was argued. Dora Jennings took 'the stand; so did Assistant Attorney Clarence Reames and Deputy Sheriff Oris Craw ford. Statements Signed by Dora. Dora admitted that she has signed the statements and that she bad done so without duress or promises, but stated, she was not told at the time she was making 4hem that they would he used against her. She told of a conversation she had with Clarence Reames, in which he is purported to have told Dora that Jasper was accusing her of the murder of her father and that she had best con fess. She said that she refused to do this because she was Innocent. She also testi fied that on one occasion the Assistant District Attorney had said to her that he could make a man talk, but there was no way on earth to make a woman talk. Mr. Reames took the stand and admit ted that he had Dora brought before him on several occasions, but that each time he had told her that whatever statements she made and signed would be used as evidence. Ho told of Dora sending for him for the purpose of making a correc tion in one of the statements and that Dora, had asked permission to tear them all up. She had, so the witness stated, struck out several words in the state ments. Practically Accuses Jlcr Brother. In order to show how it was done, a statement signed by Clarence Reames (the witness) was introduced. One of the statements practically accuses Jasper of the murder of his father. In it Dora tells that Jasper asked her a number of times, how much money his father had. The girl said she had told him her father had about 1300 in the bank. Qnce, before Inquiring how much money his father had, Dora says In this statement, he first asked. "Is father asleep?" When he found he was, he said his father must have hid the money, for he should have had or $C00 more that what was in the bank. Little Julia Jennings was the first wit ness called, and her examination was brief. She told of having been awakened by Jimmy the morning of the murder. She said she and Dora were sleeping to gether and that .she had not heard the shot thatkilled her father. Jimmy Jennings, a brother, again told the story of getting up to build the fire and of going Into the bedroom where his father slept and discovering him mur dered. He also told of running to tho cookhouse to notify the people. Boy Could Xol Remember. Claud Sill, a 9-year-old lad. who on the morning of the murder was .setting some traps for squirrels near the Jonnlngs home, testified he paw Jimmy running towards the cookhouse and of having seen Dora on the doorstep. The prosecution attempted to show by the boy that Dora was fully dressed, but the lad could not remember. Blanche Roborts. fetchingly dressed in a baby blue silk shirtwaist, blue skirt and white worsted shoulder shawl, through which were woven dainty pink ribbons, was called. No attempt at this time was made to have her tell of the alleged con fession she is supposed to have said Dora made to her one night when they were sleeping together. She was asked to tell of Jasper's visit the night the crime was committed. There is no evidence as to the time of the shooting, whether It was before or after 12 o'clock. The state has gone all along on the presumption that It was committed the night of the 7th. Nothing materially new was brought out by the other witnesses. The state is seeking to show that neither Dora nor Jasper, nor In fact any of the children, were deeply affected by the murder, and the testimony of jovcral witnesses went to show that Dora and a witness named Chaplin ate watermelon shortly after the inquest. Jasper is said also to have eaten melon while helping dig his father's grave. SHBW5UDE KILLS SIX MEN 311X12 SUPERINTENDENT ENTOMBED IX OFFICE. Avalanches Wreck Telephone and Skat Alta Camp From the OutMde World. SALT 15AKE CITY. Jan. 20. Six men were killed by a snowsllde at the mining camp at Alta yesterday, nc cording- to the last message received before the telephone wires broke.

Alta mining men now in Salt Lake are of the opinion that the victims are strangers looking for work In the camp and that they were stopping In an old house between the Flagstaff mine and the Postofflce. It may be days before communication with the camp can be re-established. A special to the Tribune from Amer lean Fork says that the office of the Wyoming mine, with tho superlnten- aent insiue. was buried by a slld Frl day afternoon and more than a hun dred men are working to uncover the building.

NX FOR II BIG GUT Wheatraisers Present Petition to Railroad Commission. MILLION OFF REVENUE In Reply a Supreme Court Decision. Is Quoted as Showing the Im possibility of Relying on Comparison of Rates. OLYMPIA. "Wash., Jan. 20 (Special.) The broad question of the reasonableness of whoat freight rates in this state Is presented to the Railroad Commission in a petition filed today, signed by 359 resi dents of Adams County. Copies of the same petition are also in circulation in Lincoln and Whitman Counties, and it Is asserted will finally have 30 signa tures. The complaint asks for a reduc tion in wheat rates equivalent to 30 per cent of the present tariffs. It is asserted by a member of the Rail road Commission that a granting of the petition would result in a like reduction in Oregon wheat rates, and basing esti mates on a haul of 40.CO3.O00 bushels in the two states, at an average of 10 cents per bushel, the present rates. It would also mean a reduction in freight revenues to the railroads ot about 5L,3O0,OJ annually. The complaint takes the Riuville-Ta- coma rate of 17 cents per 100 pounds as a standard, and asks a reduction of 12 cents. It is pointed out that the rate on wheat from Chicago to New York is 10 cents. and that It. therefore can be carried from Rltzvllle to Tacoma for 12 cents. The famous conference of August. 1P02, between the three railroad presidents on one side and the farmers of Washington on the other. Is referred to and it is charged that freight reductions were promised at that time that have not yet been placed in effect. The Railroad Commission tonight for mulated an open letter In reply to the petitioners. In which the opinion of Jus live Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, in the case of Smith vs. Ames Is quoted at length, to show the danger of relying upon comparisons of rates, the futility of depending upon the published .statements of the transcontinental sys tems as to their total earnings and the necessity, in fixing the rate, -of consider ing principally the volume of business and earnings within the state. As elements to be considered In determining the reason ableness of rates the Commission declares the following must be considered: Original cost of construction, amount expended In permanent Improvements, amount and market value of its bonds and stock, present cost as compared with original cost of construction, earning ca pacity, sum required to meet operating expenses, density of business on the linos in this state as compared with that in other states through which the roads run. the volume of business originating within the state and confined wholly within the state, as well as interstate. The letter closes: The cemmiFclsn feels It to be Its duty tA ascertain the fact upan matters of Mich great public Interest a your eem4atnt embrace, and has taken ateps to procure the same. But f the responsibility of procuring and pre fentiRK tbe evidence of such facts Li to ret upon the cosnmlFMen. wc feel tha we are not prepared at this time to order a fceariag upon the complaints Wc do not desire to.be understood as denr Inc you an Immediate hearing If you feel that you can produce 5uch evidence ah will satisfy a court having In mind the element laid down by the Supreme Court of the United States that the chaixe of 17 cent per 10 pounds Is unjust and unreasonable. Wc simply rant to Impress upon you that up to this time we hare been unable to procure the necessary data that would Justify in order ing' an Immediate hearintr. We desire to assure you. however, that at tut early a moment an we can secure the evidence we deem necessary we shall cause citation to issue on. your complaint, as prayed for by you, and 'will use every endeavor to secure nuclt information at th earliest practicable moment.

STATE BANKS TO BE USED OLYMI'IA .NATIONAL LOSES MO NOPOLY AS DEPOSITORY. AVaaklBjrtoa Treasurer Carrie Out ProvIsUoH of 3Iea.surcn Defeated In the Iant Legislature. OLYMPIA. AVash.. Jan. 20. (SpecIaL) Approximately half the state funds will be taken out of C. J. Lord's Capi tal National Bank in this city and dis tributed In depositories selected by the State Treasurer In other parts of the stite. The State Treasurer -will thus voluntarily carry Into effect the provisions of the hard-fought and final ly defeated bills of the last Legislature Introduced to DreaK up mc raunuiuu of 3tate funds enjoyed by C. J. L-ord for many years. State deposits run from $750,000 to $1,250,000. about half of which as a rule are permanent funds. The perma nent funds will be placed In the out side banks. The state cash on hand now ta about $800,000. Of this $3).000 belongs to permanent funds, but this amount is unusually small at the pres ent time, owing to heavy loans having been made from the permanent school fund. Asked the reason Tor the pro posed change and to what extent It would be carried out. Treasurer Mills said: "My chief reason Is to disabuse the public mind of a belief which has been created principally by campaign ora tors that the State Treasurer Is abso lutely controlled by a single financial institution. "So far as I am concerned, such statements are and always have been without foundation and while theydo not worry me In the least, 1 consider It only fair to the people who elected me that their minds be disabused of a wrong Impression so far as It con cerns me. "As to the extent to which the pro posed new arrangement will be car ried out I would say this: The state funds are divided Into two classes, permanent and current, and each class amounts to about one-half of the total amount usually on hand. The perma nent fund, being irreducible, is the one that financial Institutions especially de sire a deposit from, as such deposit would not be checked against, but would remain permanent. This fund I have decided to bank with institutions outside of Olympia and In such distri bution I will recognize the claims of different portions of the state, having in view always the absolute safety of tho public funds. "In this cdnnection I might add that every institution, receiving a deposit will first be required to furnish a sat isfactory surety bond. "The current funds, which fluctuate jo greatly and out of which all. ex penses of the state and Its various in stitutions are paid, will be kept on de posit In Olympia. I consider this abso lutely necessary In order to conduct the business of the state. PACIFIC COAST DEAD. Harry B. VoorhJes. NORTH YAKIMA, AVash.. Jan. 20. (Special.) Harry B.
