Seattle, Nov.' 23. The various
charges and insinuations made by Ex

others from time to time that there
has been a collusion between officials
of the land department and the Cun
ningham coal Interests to give the
latter titles to the coal claims, re

today declined to introduce ns evi

Sheridan's reason for refusing to per

MEN TO MARRY
Chicago. "There Is only one good
reason for not getting married and
that Is ill health," said the Rev. Fred
erick E. Hopkins recently In- Pilgrim
Congregational church. "A medical
examination for matrimonial purposes
has more to commend it than such
an examination for life insurance!
"The state should compel men to
marry for the same reason It compels
education and In some countries mili
tary service. It is for the welfare -if
the slate that there shoul I be tho
largest number of homes and a nor
mal and regular increase of popula
tion. "Brutality ami cir.niinaiity are usu
ally the only valid reasons for divorce
and when granted for such reasons
mither patty should be permitted to
marry again in less than three years
I' ti it in most cases the offending party
never.
"If,-after a suitable, acquaintance a
girl would like to marry a man, but
he does not nsk her then let her -ask
him. Why not? If she wants him
she probably will give him a good
many hints anyhow, so why not speak
right out and ask for what you want?
It is a useless conventionality and a
silly custom aify way we look at it,
to stick to the old fashioned way. y
"Some young men are simply too
bashful for their own good and a nice
girl should help out a little."

GREAT BATTLE OX.
Rival Houses of England Engage In
Great Constitutional Fight.
London, Nov. 23. The fight for
the English budget began yesterday
afternoon and an enormous crowd
in the streets Jeered the members of
parliament as they arrived.
The gathering of peers was the
fullest representation in the nobility
house that has been seen In years.
A number of clashes with police oc
curred as a result of the minions of
the law failing to recognize many
of the members. A large number
have not attended a meeting of the
lords for years. As Lord Crewe In
troduced the budget, except for the
unusual attendance, no one guessed
the peers were lining up against the
people In the greatest constitutional
battle in England's history, for quiet
and sedate was the assemblage
ranged against Lord Crewe. The lib
eral leaders were nearly al,l from the
administration and had few support
ers in the upper house. On the op
position benches the Marquis of
Lansdowne marshalled the forces of
the official conservatives, who were
prepared to follow the marquis In
opposing the budget.
EMPLOYES ACCUSED OF
SYSTEMATIC CONSPIRACY
Seattle, Nov. 23. C. W. Brajtee,
shipping clerk and Paul Kuhrt, watch
man, were arrested on complaint of
E. W. Ingalls, secretary of the Chlo
piek Fish company today, charging
them with systematically robbing the
company of thousands of dollars by
means of an alleged conspiracy. The
men, according to Ingalls. were caught
in a trap. He will not state just how
far reaching the alleged conspiracy is,
but admitted It embraces several deal
ers, and claimed they must have
known the men from whom they
were buying fish were selling stolen
property. Many carloads have been
stolen every night, he claims.
STILL DELIBERATES
HAS BEEN OUT SINCE
9:30 LAST EVENING
No Report Whatever Has Recn Re
turned by 12 Men Believed They
Are Making- Strenuous Effort to
Agree on Verdict.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon
tlk jury in the Ryan case
brought in a verdict of inan
Klaughler, after being out for
sixteen and one-half hours.
A'tcr being out all night and most
of the day, the Jury in the Ryan mur
der ca.sc has not been abb to :u; :i
a verdict. No report wh: ner has
been made, there has been i. request
f-r furthfr instructions and no re
quest to be discharged. Though no
report of the balloting has come from
the Jury room it is bel.eved the twelve
men arc making a strenuous effort to
agree upon a verdict and thus save
the county the expense of a second
trial.
Most of those who have been fol
lowing tlie case nnd are watching for
the verdict, are of the opinion that a
decisloji will yet be reached by the
jurors. They argue that If the b'allot
' .' ' ' '.-e .1 a hopeless deadlock
that before this the 12 men would
have come in and asked to be dis
charged. Tt is possible that the de
gree of guilt is the question" being dis
cussed ar l that as s n-n as an agree
ment can he reached on this point the
verdict will be returned.
Fr.T.i tlie walk in front of th

Adams, Creating Great Havoc End
Blown Out of Kerr-Glfford Ware
house Balfour-Guthrie Warehouse
Toppled Onto Track Section Man
Has Narrow Escape Traffic Is
Held Up.
(Special Correspondence.)
Adams, Ore., Nov. 23. Tearing
awnings from their fastenings, de
molishing windmills, blowing- down
telephone poles, blowing out the end
of the Kerr-Glfford company's ware
house and topling the large ware
house of the Balfour-Guthrie com
pany over onto the railroad track, a
complete wreck, the most disastrous
wind storm to ever strike this sec
tion of Oregon, paid this town a pass
ing visit during the noon hour today.
The damage will amount to several
thousand dollars. The O. R. & N.
train service'' Is t.ed up and fully 24
hours, will be required -to clear the
track.
Some damage was also sustained
by the O. R. & N. depot and section
licusc but the greatest damage was
that sustained by the warehouse
cor-tj-anles. Several other buildings
about town losf windows and one
tt am of horses, became frightened at
tl:e commotion and ran away. v
The nearest to a fatality occured
when the warehouse blew over onto
the track. E. E. McCullum. a sec
tion employee was passing the build
ing ct the time and was caught un
der the debris. In some miraculous
manner he escaped with only slight
injuries.
The building was 300 feet long, by
500 feet wide and contained 35.000
feet of timber. Ail this is piled on
the track in front of the Spokane
train which was stopped less than a
thousand feet away. So far the train
is being held here but It will probably
be turned back around by way of
Umatilla as with the equipment on
hand it will be impossible to remove
the debris is less than 24 hou.s.
The wind was accompanied by a
slight rain but not enough to damage
the grain which was left uncovered
by the near-cyclone and arrangements
are being made to protect this from
any downpour which may follow.
Spokane Train Returns.
The train which left Pendleton at
12:30 for Spokane and which was
pulling Into the Adams station just
as the warehouse was blown over on
to the track less than a thousand feet
ahead of It, was turned back, reach
ing here about 2:45 this afternoon. A
few minutes later it left for Spokane
by way of Umatilla.
