SEATTLE. Dec. I. (Special.) After
nearly 1 months delay, the case of
Klnr County against Robert T. Hoc! ire.
r-ierlff. will rome to trial In the Su
perior Court daring the first week In
January. The date has been fixed by
Judge Mitchell Gilliam for January 3.
The ault began In a political quarrel
Inrolrln-f the Sheriff, the County Com
missioners and the Prosecuting Attor
ney, and It raged furiously during the
first few months. The controversy be
came so bitter that the prediction was
anade that It would seal the fate of all
concerned, and the prophecy has been
realised without exception other than
Hodge, who was triumphantly re-elected
Sheriff and already has been made
the renter of an Incipient boom for
Governor at the next election.
The rase concerns the Sheriffs per
quisites. From time Immemorial that
officer has been allowed a profit for
boarding prisoners from outside coun
ties, and In the past that privilege has
been held one of the most desirable
features of the office. It had never
been questioned until early In the year.
But when Hodge Involved himself In a
war with George F. Vanderveer. Prose
cuting. Attorney, and followed It up by
d-fTl.-ig M. J. Carrlawn. County Commis
sioner, a ad his sasoclatesi he found him
self defendant In a suit for accounting.
The present action was filed against
him March M by the Prosecuting Attor
ney al the direction of the Commission-
era It charge that Hodge has been
boarding prisoners from the Federal au
thorities, from municipalities and from
rounttes other than Kins: that In so do
ing he has used provlalons bought by
tne Commissioner for King County; and
teat be refuses to account for the money
received from that source. When the
suit was filed the sum Involved was
stated to be approximately and
now It la said to have Increased to about
iron. Judgment Is prayed agslnst Hodge
and Ms surety, the Empire 8:ate Surety
Company, for whatj.er may be found
to be due the county.
Ilrarln-f Set Three Tlmea.
T caw was first set for hearing In
June before Judge A. TV. Prater, but
on a showing made by Hodge's attorneys
continuance was granted until Septem
ber, whea It was to hare been beard be
fore Judge J. Stanley Webster, of Spo
kane County, who was here temporarily.
On failure to be beard then, an effort
was made to set It for December, but
the attorneys for the Sheriff still sparred
for time. At this stage a most vigorous
objection was Interposed by Robert
Grass, deputy prosecuting attorney, who
stated to the court that two of the Com
missioner. Carrlgan and Dan R. Abra
ham, would retire January 1A. and they
were anxious that the rase be tried he
fnre that date. Accordingly. Judre R!l
Iwira pt It tor January 3. one week be
fore the personnel of the county board
will change.
One of Hodge's most bitter antagonists
Is Csrrlgsn. "Hodge's scheme should
be very plain.- Carrlgan has said. "In
the first place, he had the trial postponed
over the primaries: then orer the gen
eral election; and now he seeks to have
It go orer January lo. when two of the
t'orr.mUa. oners will quit the office, when
Hodge's friends will come Into control
of the board, and order the new prose
cuting attorney to dismiss the action.
Tie baa been persistent in tales of try
ing to seek trial; and we propose to see
dewire realised before we retire, if
Campaign Is Most Active That City
Ever Has Known Strclb and
- Shlndler Ran tor Mayor.
MILWAVK1R. Or.. Dec. I (Special.)
The city election tomorrow will decide
the most active campaign that ever has
been waged since the town wss Incorpo
rated. The opposing candidates for
Mayor are warm personal friends and
for years have been coworkers In Mllwau
kle. but they differ as to political ques
tions, chiefly on the subject of bonding
the town. Mayor 8trelb heads the Cltl
gens' ticket, and Ex-Mayor WHllam
Shlndler. the Taxpayers' ticket. The plat
forms of the parties are:
Ctttsens Better streets and aldevslka;
Immediate Improvement of Front atreet.
Harrison street. Foster road and Mi
street, the principal streets leading Into the
town: concrete crosswslKs. built by to
from the general funds: purchase of
street roller and rock crusher by the town
to be submitted to the vote of the people:
more street lights sj they are neried: a new
steel bridge across Johnson Creek on Front
street to be built hr Clackamas Countr;
sn ordlcsncs regulating sal'ions snd In
creasing the saloon license, strict enforce
ment of the stock law.
Tasparera Hquare deal to all. and favors
to aone: we are In favor of fire protection
for the town; w are In favor of seneral
Improvements of streets snd sidewalks: we
are In favor of autrlbuttng the road fund
In the several districts throughout the town
In arcorrianre with the amount of taxes
In the different parts of the town, such
improvements to be made from time to time
when petitioned for by Ike people; at the
present time we are opposed to bonding
the two for any amount whatsoever: we
would suggest the Installation of sceptic
tanks for all new buildings hereafter
erected within the town limits for the pres.
ent Instead of sewers, subject, however, to
lbs approval or disapproval of the people.
The personnel of the two tickets are:
Cttlxens' Mayor. Philip Strelb: Council
men. F. W. Lehmin and Warren Height:
Recorder. W. A. Hanson: Treasurer. J.
W. Graale-e: Marshal. Henry Phillips.
Taxpayers' Mayor. William Shlndler:
