STATE LICENSE NOT PROTECT.
Local Washington Restrictions Aro
Valid.
When asked about the new state
Inw affecting llUor licenses as it may
apply to the case of Balr and God
frey, of Sunnyslde. Prosecuting At
torney Wende, of Yakima, to a Re
public reporter, expressed the opinion
that the fact that the men hold a
state license will not affect the merits
of the case. He expressed surprise
that the nccused should rely upon the
protection of this license, which, he
says, Is simply an additional charge
upon the liquor business and is espec
ially designed to tax the sale of liquor
on steamboats and railroad cars.
Mr. Wende says that the license Is
sued under this statute does not au
thorize any person to sell liquor In
incorporated towns or cities, but Is
simply an additional tax fixed by the
state for revenue purposes, A clause
In the act states that nothing In this
act shall be considered to affect the
right of cities and towns to license
and regulate the liquor traffic. More
over, Mr. Wende does not consider
that the validity or otherwise of the
Sunnyslde ordinance will affect the
case of Balr and Godfrey, as the fact
that they were selling liquor without
a license from the city Is all that
mntters.
Mr. Wende smiled when the state
ment of Mr. Balr that this prosecution
was Inspired by political considers
tlons was repeated to him.

OLD ISSUE UP
If AS TEXAS OVERREACHED
HER STATE PRIVILEGES?
By the Quarantine Against Consump
tives Which Will lie Ordered by
the Stale Board of Health Au-
Itiorltics at Washington Inclined to
Think the Order Is Without Le-
. gallty as Well as I'reccdent.
Washington, June 27. Federal of
ficials having to do with the regula
tion and control of the public health
were much exercised to learn that
the public health officials of Texas
will soon Issue a proclamation of per
manent quarantine against all persons
affected with the advanced stages of
tuberculosis. This proclamation will
place tuberculosis In the same cate
gory with smallpox and yellow fever,
according to report, and Is being is
sued because of the Increased Immi
gration of tuberculosis patients to
the diy el'mate of arid Texas.
It was said here today that under
the federal statutes tuberculosis is
not a quarantinable disease, either
under the maritime or interstate Im
migration laws, but Immigrants can
now be kept out of the United States
when afflicted with tuberculosis, un
der the new Immigration law.- The
opinion was given that it mcy be dif
ficult to sustain such a quarantine be
fore the supreme court under the
provision of the constitution guaran
teeing the right of every citizen of
the United States to go from one
state to another.
In each case the state authorities
will be compelled to prove absolutely
that the person denied entrance to
Texas Is suffering from tuberculosis
In the advanced stage, and the cost
of such quarantine will be large.
On the question of public policy
Involved In such a quarantine no
opinion of officials could be obtained
for publication, but It Is known to be
the opinion of some of the Individ
uul experts that the study of tuber
cnloes has progressed so far that a
state quarantine Is unnecessary and
that immigration of this kind might
be treated at tuberculosis colonies If
protective steps are necessary.
The Issue raised In Texas has never
been heard of before by federal of
ficials, although Colorado a few years
ago agitated a somewhat similar step.

No Serious Trouble at Cripple Creek Until the State Troops Came.
Boise, June 27. Although sub
stantial progress is being made, it is
unlikely the defense in the Haywood
murder trial will be able to complete
Its side of the case before the middle
of Julyt owing to the length of time
consumed by Sorah and Ha?.'."2 Jn
the cross-examination of every wit-1
ness.
The Intensely hot weather is hav
ing Ita effect on the jurors, three of
them showing the strain when they
came into Vourt today.
The prosecution Is still holding Dr.
McGee and Lottie Day here in order
that their testimony may be examin
ed.
If McOee's story that Orchard was
In Wallace in July, 1904, Is true, it
absolutely upsets Orchard's claim
he was In Denver at that time hold
ing a conference with Haywood and
Moyer, as to the best means of get
ting rid of Bradley In San Francisco.
Half a dozen detectives are now
working In the Coeur d'Alenes look
ing up evidence to discredit McGee.
The latter Is decidedly positive In
his assertions, 'as he knew Orchard
well. . T
Orchard Threatened Steunenberg.
The cress-examination of W. F.
Duvla was continued, Boruh referring
back to the alleged conversation In
Union hall with Altman, when Davis
slated that Orchard in his and East
erly's and Parker's presence declared
that Sleunenbcrg made him a pauper
and he would get square. Davis is
sure of Orchard's exact statement,
but is still unable to tell excepting In
general terms what the others said
at that time.
Davis and Borah mixed up In sev
eral wordy clashes, but the witness
was not particularly worried by the
aggressive manner of his inquisitor.
Davis knew Orchard and his
Cripple Creek wife, but swore he
never visited nt their home.
M the time of the Vindicator ex
plosion he lived half a mile from the
mine. Soon after the explosion he
was placed In Jail. His family all
iled soon afterward. He did not re
call seeing Orchard after the Vindi
cator explosion. He said ho might
have, hut as be was not Intimate
with Orchard he could not say. He
absolutely denied that there was any
erlou-' trouhio in Cripple Oreek dis
rtnt f'-'vrt flip iin th" "'t-ilffl was
ordered until the national gmri
came.
Detectives Planned Train Wreck.
Boise. June 27. W. W. Rush, a
tempt would be made to wreck a

pany's Cripple Creek railroad. He
is charged with being the engineer

swore Scott asked him If there was
any real good place to wreck a train,

and Sterling rode with him. He
were blown up and at the conclusion
tinned.
Rush absolutely charged Scott and
Sterling with taking a rail out of
the track in order to wreck the train
and throw, the blame on the strikers.
Testimony of Lnto Yesterday.
Boise, June 27. William E. Davis,
of Ooldfleld. one of tho most Import
ant witnesses for the defense, was
called to the stand Into yesterday and
his cross-examination was not com
pleted when court adjourned. Or
chard had testified that Davis led
and commanded the mob that de
stroyed the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mines In 1899, inspired, as the agent
of Haywood and Moyer. the Vindi
cator explosion and the train wreck
Ing plot at Cripple Creek and was an
accomplice In the Independence sta
tion crime.
On the direct examination by Dnr
row, he went over the story of his
work. Including the pathetic story of
the death of his wife and babe at
Cripple Creek, at which he wept, and
he made a positive denial of every
statement of Orchard that Involved
him or his associates In any - form
of crime, He denied that he was
even a member of the union when

affair, and then threatened to kill
Steunenberg.
Severe Crow-Examination,
The cross-examination of Davis by
Senator Borah was severe and search
ing and was chiefly devoted as far
as It proceeded, with the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan affair, and the circum-
tanees under which Orchard made
the threat against Steunenberg.
Davis asserted that he remained at
Gem the day the Bunker Hill and
that while there he saw tho train in
while there, he saw the train Id
charge of masked men. arrive at and
depart from Gem; he could not name
anyone -on the train except Engineer
Hutton. He said there was no excite
ment and that he made no inquiry
about the mob.

WALLA WALLA BERRIES GONE.
Strawberry Season Ends in the Gar-
den City District.
only a few strawberries are left
to tell the tale of what has been the
lightest crop in years, says the Walla
Walla Statesman. Hood Rivers are
all gone and receipts of other berries
are small and scattering. Upland
berries continue In small" quantities
on account of the lateness of the sea
son. but the receipts are small and
the fruit Inferior.
Other berries, particularly rasp-
ernes, nre a gcod crop this year, al-
thetirt not as good as had been ex
pected. Jack Frost's cold nippers did
work here as well as elsewhere. The
"lsnn Is late but the berries ore be
ginning to come in good quantities.
Prices will not he low, owing to the
icniand for this fruit by the canner-
es.

supplied by home products, but
prices hold the same as before. $3
per crate, niackherrles are coming

OREGON CHERRIES FOR WINE.
Six Hundred Barrels of Royal Annes
From Salenl to California.
Salem, June 26. Arthur C. Raas
of San Francisco, representing the
firm of E. J. Lyons & Raas, is in the
city and overseeing the preparation
of 600 barrels of Oregon Royal Anne
cherriea for shipment to San Fian
cosco, where they will be converted
Into mnrasnhino. It is Indeed a trib
ute to t':e Oregon Royal Anne cherry
that It is suitable to meet the exact
ing requirements of that delicate and
delicious spirit. The cherry must be
perfect, without blemlsheB, of the
proper grade and size and entirely
faultless. -
About 600 barrels of these cherries
are being put up at the Salem Mutual
Canning plant in this city for ship
ment to California, Just what pro
cess the cherry undergoes after It
reaches the plant and how it is con
verted Into the maraschino product
Is a secret just as the making of con
densed milk is a secret.
The cherries are pitted and care
fully colored, aromatized, sweetened
and prepared to be dropped Into the
glass of exhilarating cocktail, or the
distilled spirit from the cherry is mix
ed Into fancy beverages.

WOOD FAMINE
T
SUPPLY IX BLUE MOUNTAINS
BEING DRAWN UPON HEAVILY
About T.vo Carloads .Are Shipped
front Kainclu Dally, and a Large
Number of People Are Doing What
They Can to Provide Against
Scarcity Little Reason to Hope
That There Will Not be a Scarcity
of Coal.
P. T. Harbour, a wood dealer of
Weston, who was here this morning
on his way home from Meacham, has
no fears that this section will be af
flicted with a wood famine this fall
The renocn why he believes there will
be no scarcity is the fact that nearly
every on is anticipating a shortage
and every effort Is now being made
to secure wood In advance.
According to Mr. Harbour there Is
plenty of wood In the mountains, and
there is now little difficulty in get
ting It shipped from there. He says
about two carloads per day are be
Ing shipped from Kamela regularly
But while there Is enough wood there
Is much complaint regarding the
grade of wood. Much Inferior wood
is offered for sale this year, and the
cutters are generally trying to make
their good wood sell their poorer ar
ticle. As practically all ot the wood from
the mountain stations comes this way
and Is sold to Pendleton, Walla Wal
la and Intervening towns, Mr. Har
bour believes that there will be plen
ty to Insure against a shortage.
However, It Is said to be practical
ly impossible for the dealers to se
cure coal at this time. While the
railroad" are offering special rates
for shipment at this time and are
urging dealers to stock up, the of
fer is worthless for the reason that
the coal mines will not supply the
coal. Circulars have been sent out
from some of the mines stating that
no orders will be accepted and those
that are taken are received without
any guarantee as to the time of ship
ment. Sentencing Postponed.
San Francisco, June 27. The sen
tencing of Schmits was postponed a
week over the protests of his attor
neys. CHEAPER RATES DEMANDED.
Freight Rates on Denatured Alcohol
Are Prohibitive,
A Washington dispatch says of a
case Just filed with t he Interstate
commerce commission:
A curious case was filed with the
interstate commerce commission to
day by the railroad commission of the
state of Oregon against the North
western and Burlington railways and
several other lines. It appears that
the defendant lines charge the same
rates upon the denatured alcohol
from Chicago to North Pacific ter
minal points as they charge on other
alcohol.
By reason of the high freight rates
the price of denatured alcohol In Ore
gon Is greatly increased, as it costs
from 12 to ID cents a gallon to trans
port it. The Oregon railroad com
mission suggests that the freight
rates work an unjust discrimination
against renatured alcohol, and asks
the Interstate commerce commission
to fix a Just and reasonable rioie for
Its transportation.
