Parents Didn't Know Anything Wrong
in Sending Little Fellow Into
Saloons After Booze.
"I'll go crazy 1 I'm dooe for I I'm
done fort" cobbed Mrs. Ralph Laue
in the rooms of tbe Walla Walla su
perior oonrt Saturday afternoon, says
tbe Union, when Judge Brents stated
tbat ber six-year-old son would be
turned over to Sheriff Havaland for safe
keeping until Monday. Mr. Lane was
also moved to tears by the order of tbe
ooort, and their pretty little 8-year-old
daughter joined in tbe general lamen
tations, when she saw tbe way her
mother was weeping.
Mr. and Mrs. Lane are tbe parents of
the boy whom they have been in the
habit of sending frequently to the
First Exchange saloon on East Main
street to purobase beer for Mrs. Lane.
This was noticed on Monday and re
sulted in a summons to appear before
Judge Brents yesterday. Tbe trial
started in the morning, during which
Judge Brents made it very plain that
the parents were to blame for such a
flagrant violation of the law, and tbat
tbe saloon keeper was also liable. The
caae was continned until afternoon, at
whioh time Mr. and Mrs. Lane, with
their two ohildren, a pretty little girl
of 8, and tbe boy, a nioe appearing in
telligent looking youngster, wbo will
not be 6 years old until September, ap
peared again before the court They
were neatly dressed and quiet looking,
respectable appearing people:
Mrs. Lane, who was first examined,
stated tbat she was taking beer regu
larly on the advice of physicians in
both North Yakima and Pendleton,
where they had resided ; that she had
been ill most of tbe time in Walla
Walla and frequently sent the little
boy for boer, at least two or three
times a week, and frequently every

day, 01 eveo twice a day. Sbe claim
ed to be ignorant of any Jaw forbiddiug
minora to enter suoh a resort, or even
to have thought tbat it was not rigbt
for him to do ao, although she now saw
that it bad teen wrong to send bim
for liqnor.
On examination of Mr. Lane, it de
veloped that he himself had taken tbe
little fellow into the saloon at different
times, and on at least one oocasiou tbe
boy bad been set npon tbe bar for the
amusement of bystanders, and given
beer to drink. Mr. Lane is a carpenter
in town, bnt was for 11 months on tbe
police force in Yakima, and yet claim
ed to be ignorant of any law to guard
tbe welfare of tbe boy.
Mr. J. P. Tideringtou, a grooer on
East Main street, aud William Paul
Bon, a young man staying with the
Lanes, both testified as to the good
character of tbe family, and the ample
provision made by Mr. Lane for their
needs.
Jodge Brents was inclined to treat it
as a very serious offense, sayiug: "The
seriousness of tbe case consists in tak
ing a little boy like this to tbe saloons
and in sending bim there day after day
alone. It is even worse because of tbe
evident respectability and good stand
ing of tbe parents which has been
brought out They must have known
tbat it was wrong to put bin under
such influences, even if tbey did not
know it was against the law . I can
see no hope for tbe outcome of such a
boy as be grows up to manhood if be
is to grow up amid snob influences."
DRUGSTORES NEXT
Plan On Foot to Put Lid Down Tight
On the Apothecary Shops of
Oregon's Metropolis.
Portland's Sunday-closing crusade
has not ended. The initiative has been
taken for closing all drugstores on tbe
Sabbath and the extent to whioh the
six-work-day contagion may spread is
purely a subject for speculation.
But the movement to close the drug
stores, says the Oregonian, has origi
nated among the druggists, and not
with tbe saloon men, as a retaliatory
step to foroe a strict enforcement of
tbe Snnday-closing law. A. W. Allen,
secretary of the Retail Druggists' As
sociation, is conferring with tbe drug
gists of tbe city in an effort to learn
what the sentiment is regarding the
proposed Sunday closing. The plan
does not contemplate closing these
business bouses for tbe entire day.
An agreemeut will be reached for
keeping these stores open for two hours
each Sunday, probably from 12 o'clock
noon until 2 p. m. If a majority de
cide for a closed Sunday, an ordinance
will be presented in tbe City Gounoil
requiring all drugstores in the city to
suspend business for tbe day, with tbe
exception of tbe two or three hours
these dealers may decide to keep open.
"A number of attempts have been
made among he druggists of tbe city
to bring about the closing of these
business houses Sunday," said Secre
tary AUen, "bat all have proved un
successful. We have always encount
ered probably half a dozen dealers who
insist on remaining open all day. The
result has been that we have accom
plished nothing in that direction, siuoe
tbe druggists wbo would willingly
close for the day refused to close their
places of business unless the movement
was general among tbe dealers in the
city. We are now informed that if
more than a majority of the druggists
of the city deolare for Sunday closing,
an ordinance will be passed by tbe
City Council requiring the others to
abide by tbe wishes of tbe majority.
"I expect to complete my canvass of
the druggists of tbe city the latter part
of tbe week, when I will know what
tbe sentiment is regarding business
hours on Sunday."
THREE DECISIONS BT BEAN
Grain Company Wins Over E. L. Smith
-Turner Will Upheld.
Three important decisions were
handed down Saturday in tbe circuit
court by Judge Bean. Io tbe case of
E. L. Smitb versus tbe Iuterior Ware
house company, tbe decision was iu fa
vor of tbe company; in tbe Turner
will case, tbe will of Mrs. Turner was
upheld, and in the case of tbe Bauk of
Pomeroy, Iowa, tbe motion to set aside
tbe verdict of the jury aud order a
new trial, was denied, reports tbe Tri
bune.
Tbe first case has been iu litigation
for the past two years and phases of
it are likely to be iu tbe courts for
sor.je time to come. In tbe first place,
Smith agreed to furnish a certain
quantity of grain to tbe warehouse
company in 1901 at a certain price.
When it came time for delivery, how
ever, the price of wheat advanced and
tbe farmers represented by Mr. Smitb,
refused to produce tbe wheat and be
could not deliver tbe full amount.
As tbe warehouse company had al
ready contracted to sell tbe wheat, it
was obliged to replace the deficiency
with grain purchased at tbe advanced
price, so brought suit to compel Smitb
to perform tbe contract. Smitb iu tnrn
brought suit to bave the contract ab
rogated on tbe grounds tbat it was not
bis fault tbat be was unable to deliver
tbe wbeat, and this wag tbe case tbat
was decided Saturday.
Now tbat this question ban been
decided tbe original case will be tried
out on its merits. Tbe amonnt at issue
is only about $600, but tbe principle
involved is one of great importance to
this country, where so many grain
contracts are being made every year.
Judge James A. Fee represents
Smith, while Judge S. A. Lowell looks
after tbe interests of the Interior
Warehouse company.
Turner Will Upheld.
The Turner will case was an appeal
from the county court, which had up
held tbe will of Mrs. Turner of Weston,
in which sbe left her property to her
two sons O. C. and & O. Turner. The
other ohildren, Alvin F. Turner, H. E.
Turner, Mrs. Ida Clarke and others,
contested tbe will on the ground that
at tbe time tbe instrument was made,
tbe old lady was not mentally compet
ent to make a will and tbat undue in
fluence bad been used by tbe benificia
ries. Peterson, Peterson & Wilson and
James A. Garter, represented tbe con
testants, while McCourt 8s Phelps re
presented the contestees.
Several witnesses were examined
during the trial of tbe case which last
ed several days, a large number of the
residents of Weston being called to
give their testimony regarding the
capabilities of Mrs. Turner.
Judge Gilliland of the oounty court
finally upheld the will, aud Judge
Bean affirms tbe decision of tbe lower
court. As tbe amount involved is only
ubout 4,000, it is hardly probable
tbat the case will be carried to the
supreme court.

Radical Order in Texas Classes Tuber
culosis With Yellow Fever
and Smallpox.
Federal officials having to do with
the regulation and control of tbe pub-
lio health are exercised to learn that
the publio health offloials of Texas will
soon iesne a proclamation of permanent
quarantine against all persons affected
with tbe advanoed stages of tuberou
losis." The proclamation will plaoe
tuberculosis in tbe same category with
smallpox and yellow fever, according
to report, and is being issued because
of the increased immigration of tuber
culosis patients to the dry climate of
arid Texas.
It is said tbat under the Federal stat
utes tuberculosis is not a quarantin
able disease, either under tbe maritime
or interstate immigration laws, but
immigrants can now be kept out of
the United States when afflicted with
tuberoulosis, under the new immigra
tion law. The opinion was given that
it may be difllonlt to sustain such a
quarantine before the Supreme Court
under the provision of tbe constitution
guaranteeing tbe 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
tbat the person denied entrance to
Texas is suffering from tuberoulosis in
the adanoed stage, and tbe cost of
such a quarantine will be large.
On the question of publio policy in
volved in snob a quarantine no opinion
of officials oould be obtained for pub
lication, but it is known to be tbe
opinion of some of the individual ex
perts tbat tbe study of tuberoulosis
has progressed so far that a state of
quarantine is unnecessary and tbat im
migration of this kind might be treat
ed at tuberoulosis colonies if protective
steps are necessary.
Tbe issne raised in Texas has never
been beard of before by Federal offi
cials, although Colorado a few years
ago agitated a somewhat similar step.

GLOOMY PROSPECTS
Continued Cold Spring Does Enormous
Injury to Growing Crops In
the Southern States.
The continued cold, unseasonable
weather in the United States is unques
tionably doing enormous injury to the
growing crops. For tbe cotton plant
ers, wheat raisers, corn growers, and
rarming interests generally we, year
1907, aocording to Chicago reports, ' is
likely to be one of tbe worst, if not
tbe worst, crop year within their re
collection. Io the south the weather was too
dry at planting time, and then too cold
and now too wet for proper cultiva
tion. Tbe worst conditions are apparent
iu Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis
sippi, Alabama and Tennessee, where
tbe crop is reported from two to six
weeks later than last year. In these
states the ground is now foul and
watersoaked. Tbe plant presents a
grassy appearance and is overrun with
weeds and grass.
In lexas and Louisiana millions of
l oll weevils are in sight, but it is too
early for much damage from this in
sect as yet. In Mississippi cut worms
and other cool weather insects have
been killing tbe delioate young plants.
In Georgia and the Carolines reports
are unfavorable, but not nearly so
muob as in the states further west.
The crop appears to be about two
weeks late aud the average conditions
are about 15 per oent below last year.
Tbe weather in .tbe southwest ap
pears to have been colder in May. and
early June than in Marob.
Some crop experts of the southwest
estimate that this year's crop will not
be more than from 50 to 60 per oent of
last year.
The United States government crop
report for June, issued this week, cal
culating on popularly aooeptod acreage
basis, indicated tbat this year's total
spring aud winter wheat yield would
be about 30,000,000 bushels, or ap
proximately 115,000,000 bushels less
than the combined outturn of the two
crops last year.
