It has been asserted that an attempt

terpreted by him as a reflection upon
himself .
vTour honor," he said when tha case
was called this morning. "I hear that
charges have been mad by a certain
Juror in the case which I represent. The
charges are serious and reflect not only
on the Jury but n myself and I sropose
te investigate them fully. -
"It I find them to be true, my fllent
may do without my services, for I will
have nothing whatever to do either with
him or with tha case. Accordingly I
ask for a postponement of the hearing
unUl I may hava further opportunity
to sift tha charges to the bottom."
'On one charge -Caspary-. was 'found
guilty yesterday afternoon of illegally

and Sure.
NO CHANCE FOR ACCIDENTS
WHEN IT IS ON THE RAIJLS
Simplicity . Is ' One of the 'Features
61 , Invention, Whose " Working
Model Has ' Been : Seen by Many
People Interested in 'Railroads.
' An ever-open main track and switches
that close when any train goes on or
leaves a siding Is the railroad manager's
dream. He would havs this dons au
tomatically,' so that tha errant human
mind-by '-forgetting aright not plunge a
fleet ' passenger train into the ditch or
that -tha overwrought engineer or" conductor-might
-not overlook orders and
causa a hsad-on collision. -
i A . nompsay whlah has opened sffleea
in Portland insists that the problem has
been solved.". When man forgets, this me
chanical principle,- simple - in construc
tion and effective In the model. Is stUl
on duty. J. F, Hurst, its Inventor, aas
that there will never be another switch
wreck when his- satomatlc switch is
adopted by the railroad companies.
The product of the mechsnle's mind is
Ingenious. In brief terms the weight of
ah approaching train will close ' the
switch, if it is open, and Insure its re
maining closed if It is closed. ' This end
fa attained by having an adjustable pawl
or projection on the rear coach or the
engine, which is fixed to pass oveT a
metal convexed surface. By bearing this
burfsce downward" slightly, the work be
Ing almost Instantaneous -when a train
ia going at a. high, rata of speed, the
switch Is closed or kept closed.
Thera-la-iothlng'complleated -In -the
mechanical principle by which ths result
la obtained.- If a switch is closed, the
emergency pawl or clutch, by pressing
downward on the convexed surface. In
sures its remaining, so. When the swltoh
is thrown, it automatically TOcks there
until a pressure of (00 pounds or more
la-applied on another ca:
If a freight or other train desires to
taka a siding, ths engineer or conductor1,
by manipulating an airbrake arrange
ment aboard the train; lowers a pawl
so that it will come in contact with one
of the surfaces, which opens the switch,
when the-traln Is S00 -yards-dbrtant. Af
ter the train has gone upon the siding,
this same pawl, by passing over another
surface, closss ths switch, so that ths
track is clear for regular line buslnsss.
When this train comes off the siding It
closes the switch automatically, so that
the track is ready for through traffic.
One model Is on exhibit on ths second
floor of the Commercial block, where it
Is being Investigated by meny railroad
men and others . Interested In mechanic
cat Inventions. . By. working - this - It
seems impossible for a switch to got out
of order. No full slse model in sctual
work has yet been made, but it 1s' the
purpose of the company handling the
Invention to put one on - soma track
which is much used to prove what the
device will do. ; ;-"

1 Tacoma, .July 17. Reports received

inspectors' office indicates that the dam
age to the wheat crop by- the hot

It will not be more than per cent. A
total of 1,000.000 buahels' is estimated
to have been destroyed by the hot wave.
Fsll wheat is in prime condition. The
heat had but little effect on it, as the
grain wis too- far advanced, Weight
tests Indicate that Uve, crop will run
fronr St to B pounds. -
, Although the shortage will ' not be
more than per cent, on the total crop.
It will amount to about 2,000,000 bushels.
Since the last reports" were received.
the total crop Is estimated at approxi
mately 15,000,000 i bushels.- ;Karller in
the season the estimate wss' from 17,

""It Is believed that a much larger per

learned today that It was ths tendet of .
this largs salary that caused him to d- ,
ellne the appointment to the federal -Judgeship
