EVAN WILLIAM 5.
THE first visit to the Pacific North
west of Evan Williams, the great
est American concert tenor by general
acknowledgment, will give the people
an opportunity of enjoying a voice
that evokes the wildest enthusiasm
from every audience. It is a voice of
. wonderful sweetness and power, under
standing every mood that moves the
heart of man. So remarkable is the
human appeal that it may well be
called "the voice of the people," ex
pressing in song all the blithe gay
ety and buoyant optimism of the Amer
ican people, their naive humor and
sparkling wit, their ready sympathy of
all conditions of men, their scorn of
snobbery, their passionate Joy of life
and nature, their quick appreciation of
nobility of action and heroism.
But it is in the realm of sacred song,
the inspired music of Handel and
Mendelssohn, the grand and uplifting
oratorio numbers from "The Messiah,"
"The Creation" or "Elijah,'" which so
few voices dare attempt, that Mr. Wil
liams sends electric thrills through his
aurience. These, the most sublime
songs ever created by the genius of
men, require not only dramatic inten
sity of the highest order, but a union
of delicacy, pathos, exquisite art and
impassioned power of song that sweeps
the hearer to grand heights, where, in
glorious vision, he sees the world in
process of creation, the primeval pas
sions and inspired ideals of mankind
lay bare before him as though illumi
nated from heaven.
JUDGE VISITS JAIL
Messages of Hope Given to 90
Men Behind Bars.
TWO RELEASED QUICKLY
D. J. Valley, Held on Statutory
Charge, and Peter Samard,
Charged With Xon-Snpport,
Freed on Own Recognizance.
I know not whether laws be rig-ht.
Or whether laws be wrong;
All that we know who lie in goal
la that the wail Is strong;
' And that each day Is like a year;
A year whose days are long,
i
f bearing a message of hope to in
mates of the County Jail, Judge Henry
K. McGinn visited them yesterday
morning and talked with the prisoners
' lor two hours. He held interviews with
over 90 murderers, thieves and com
mon drunks and promised to do what
be could toward helping the condition
of each man.
He directed that two men be brought
Into court in the afternoon and re
leased them on their own recogniz
:. ance. These were E. J. Valley, held
since August on a statutory charge,
. and Pete Samard, charged with non
support, t
"I will look into your cases," said
Judge McGinn to prisoners in whose
behalf he can intervene. "Any of you
can send me word at any time and 1
will come up and see you whenever 1
can do anything for you.
Speedy Trial Advised.
"These men should have a speedy
trial instead of being held here for
months. One man has been here since
last August without anything being
. done in his case. While I have the
criminal department I will give prompt
trials to anyone and get them out of
', here. They should not be held in this
Jail. It don't do them any good, nor
is it any good to the state."
Long sentences of 15 days for com
mon drunks from the Municipal Court
caused comment by Judge McGinn. He.
told a number of these prisoners they
Bhould not be there. Loggers, sailors,
railroad workmen and others are held
.' on vagrancy charges who, he declared,
' should not be in Jail Just because they
came to town and happened to get
drunk.
t "These men are entitled to a little
time when they come in from a Job of
work," said Judge McGinn. '" "I would
" give it to them myself. Their cases
, should be heard by the Chief of Police
or some such practical man who can
dispose of them quickly. After a night
.' in Jail for being drunk they should be
i let go. In cases of longer terms they
1 should be put on a farm or given out
: door work. This Jail is no place for
them.
Personsl Interviews) Held.
i Judge McGinn held personal inter
views with every man in prison. He
shook hands with a majority of the
prisoners and wished them good luckr
Some of you boys have been here
; too long," was a remark he made to
a man serving 15 days for drunken
ness, and he repetaed this opinion In
other words frequently.
! The Judge talked with all the varied
races that fill the Jail. There were
Germans, Austrians, English. Italians.
Frenchmen, Japanese, a Filipino,
! Chippewa Indian and other admixtures
; of nationalities. A Japanese prisoner.
I held for an affair with an Indian gir
t he had met in a Chinese restaurant
save the Judge a long letter explain
ing his case that he had written out
in his native tongue and then trans
lated between the lines into English.
The Judge talked French with prison
ers of that nationally.
Some prisoners did not know why
they were there, they said. -A num
ber protested innocence, but R. Sam
omi, a Japanese, surprised the judge
when asked what he was arrested for,
when he said: "I steal watch."
George Arbnckle KflDcarooed.
George Arbuckle, serving a 20-day
sentence for drunkenness, said: "I got
kangarooed - in the police court."
"They gave you more than you had
coming," said Judge McGinn.

rested for molesting a Salvation Army
street meeting, held that his arrest
was unjustified. "I was sober, just
like a fish in the sea," he said.

sailor, regretted the fact that he could
not get out to rejoin his ship, having

ment and Barean of Health.
Continuing? their efforts to cut ex
penses for municipal purposes s to bed
rock for 1915. the City Commission
eliminated a total of $218,990 in pro
posed expenditures during: sessions last
week. This came on top of cuts aggre
gating $111,213 the week before, making-
a total of $330,203 lopped from the
estimates.
The pruning: of the estimates has
brought the budget down to about 7
mills or seven-tenths of a mill ($210.
000) lower than the levy for the pres
ent year. This does not include the
estimates for the Dock Commission,
which are a part of the city's budget,
but not unaer control of the City Com
mission. ,
The Commission still has to prune a
long- list of Items asked by City Com
missioner deck, including proposed
special appropriations aggregating
about $30,000. There is left for pruning-
also the estimates of the City
Health Bureau. These budgets will be
considered tomorrow and Tuesday.
The total of estimates ' when the
budg-et first was presented was $3,600,
142, including- $164,998 asked by the
Dock Commission, $30,000 for the fire
men's relief fund fixed by charter and
$455,570 for the interest and redemp
tion of outstanding- bonds. The budget
estimate exclusive of these special
items over which the Commission has
no control, was $2,949,574.
There is to be raised by licenses and
other sources of revenue next year a
total of $761,051. and there will be bal
ances in the form of savings at the
end of this year amounting to $200,000.
This leaves a total of $2,308,888 to be
raised by, taxation as the .budget now
stands.

IDAHO REFINERIES OPEN
BUMPER- BEET CROPS TAKES BY
SUGAR FACTORIES OF" STATE.
Potato Yield Largest, bnt Farmera Are
Holding; for Higher Prices and
Cars Stand Idle.
BOISE. Idaho, Oct. 24. (Special.)
That an optimistic view can be taken
of the crop movement in this state be
cause the bumper crops of Idaho are
slowly being moved to market and
also because of the fact there is a re
sumption of activity in the sugar In
dustry is clearly evident from reports
that have reached thje Public Utilities
Commission.
This week the farmers of Southern
Idaho were paid $635,000 by the Utah
Idaho Sugar Company alone for a por
tion of their sugar beet crop. Fac
tories owned by this, company at
Blackfoot. Idaho Falls and Sugar Clt
already have opened andare running
full capacity. Approximately 125.000
tons of sugar beets have been deliv
ered to the factories by this company.
Close to 500,000 tons are to follow.
Eight carloads of beets a day are leav
ing Klmberly In Twin Falls County
alone for the Burley factory. The crop
In that section is estimated at 220 cars.
The potato market has fallen off and
growers who can afford to are holding
their spuds for storage until prices
pick up. Because of the present slump
an unusually large number of cars are
stationary at many shipping points
which under more favorable condi
tions, would be traveling- East with
part of the big- potato crop of this
state.
