Washington Association Meets This Week to Fight for Rights as Portland Aeened Has. TACOMA. Wash- Aug. 12. (Special.) Believing It useless further to await th answer promised by R- B. Miller, of Portland, general agent of the O. W. R. A N.. as to placing Puget Sound cttlea on an equality with Portland In grain rates from Inland Empire points, the Stat Millers' Association will meet this week to adopt a plan of action. The transportation bureaus of Ta- coma and Seattle-are with the millers In the fight. The question to be de rided Is that of whether the appeal for redress shall be made to the Publlo Service Commission of this state or to the Interstate Commerce Commission. A decision in favor of the shippers by the latter will have more effect than one by the former." On the other hand, matters before the Interstate Com merce Commission are apt to take a long time to carry to a decision, where as a decision can be obtained from th Washington Public . Service Com missioners within ten days to a month. Jay W.

Idaho, August 11. In a com plaint filed In th- District Court for Bingham County entitled Carl Machold against the Corbett Slough Ditch Com pany and the Grove City Ditch Com pany. It is alleged that the Judge In a former action committed perjury, that the court permitted attorneys to file documents he knew at the time ot th filing were false and that "a license to practice law In Blngen County includes a right to commit perjury, subornation of perjury and to deceive the District Judge." Tlie result of the sensational charge Is said to be th unlawful commitment of Machold In the Jail of Bingham County. Mrs. Machold, the prisoner's wife, has appealed to Judge Stewart, of the Supreme Court. In person to ask that an Investigation be made Into the case that her husband may be re leased from his alleged unlawful im prisonment. In his complaint against th ditch companies Machold declares that they have a chain of canals and ditches In Bingham County and that some of them cross his land. He entered into an agreement with Dr. C. A. Hoover and L. M. Clapp In 190 to construct a waste ditch across his land from the compsny's canal and that in compli ance with this agreement he construct ed the ditch but was never paid for hla services. Then he discovered, he alleges! that the water from the ditch was washing away his land, ruining about 40 acres. Machold asserts that he oalled upon the ditch company in vain to pay him damages and repair the wast ditch. When th rase cam to trial Machold lost. Now he asserts that the pre siding Judge was misled by officers of the ditch companies and their attor neys to such an extent that the Judge committed perjury. He also charges that th trial Judge's findings were con trary to law and Justice and were writ ten to mislead the Judge of the Dis trict Court about him. Machold sought an injunction to restrain the us of th ditch aad he declares that the in junction suit waa decided against htm through fraud. The complaint closes with a request for a $3000 Judgment. Machold was cited to appear befoee the court for contempt following filing of his complaint. The rase was railed before Judge Stevens, who Issued the citation and directed the Sheriff to bring- Machold before him. Machold was lined IS for contempt of court and was severely reprimanded. He declared he waa unabl to pay the fine Imposed by the court and waa Impris oned and has since been kept in the county Jail. In bla petition Just flled with the Supreme Court for release Marhold de clares that when he was taken before Judge Stevens on the contempt charge he found the court and attorneys con sidering his case; that they denied him the privilege of calling witnesses and the rights of a citizen in the common courts. He alleges that even the Judge was sworn as a witness against him and that the Judge admitted the alle gations made by Machrfl were true, but ssld thst Machold should not have talked about them. As two of the Supreme Court Jus tices are out of the city and will not return until next week, the application for release from Jail made by Machold through hla wife cannot be acted upon until their return.
