HELENA; Mont, May 13.-For the first time in the Wst0ryif .Hontana, the Su preme Court was asked to dlumtos an ap peal In' a crlminar case because th4 con vlcted man, Petef Dempsey, has broken Jail and fled from the Jurisdiction of the court Such cases have been known In other states, one having occurred recent ly In Washington, but the action In DempseySs case Will set a precedent for this state. -The .Itaqar tnM-j abMsa' jMi torney General Frana: w. Mettier ana asks the court to dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated "unleas the defendant shall, within such reasonable time as may be fixed by the court return and submit himself to the jurisdiction of this court" In the accompanying affidavit Mr. Mettier states that Dempsey was con victed July I, 1800, ot-murder In the first degree In Butte and. a motion for a new trial having., been overruled, waa aen tenced -September 4, 1900, to be hanged. He appealed, and the transcript waa filed in the Supreme Court April 10T 1902. But before this was done, Dempsey had broken Jaty and fled from the Jurisdiction of the court,-June 22, 1801. Dempsey murdered his wife by shoot ing her in the head in April, 1900, and this la tha crime for which he was sen tenced to be hanged. He and two other prisoners combined and threw pepper in the eyes of the County Jailer in Butte and, while he waa thus blinded, they knocked him down, took the keys from him, unlocked the doors and escaped. The two other men were recaptured, but Dempsey has never been found. He Is believed to have gone to South Africa and taken part In the Boer war, but no one knows on which side, he Is. . The effect of the dismissal of ths ap peal will be to render Dempsey an out law, liable to be brought back and hanged without hope of another chance to save his life by an appeal. NEW COLLEGE FOR TAC0MA City of Destiny Swelled Out of Shape. (Journal Special Service.) TACOMA, Wash., May 13. As a result of the prompt action of the Chamber of Commerce it is practically assured that Tacoma will soon possess a new and Im portant educational Institution. Some weeks ago a proposition was submitted by the United Norwegian Lutheran Church, announcing the Intention of the church organization of establishing a co educational college In the Pacific North west, and asking what Inducements would be offered by Tacoma to secure the Institution. The Chamber of Com merce, and citizens generally promptly, took up the matter and made a formal offer of a magnificent tract of land, to gether with ' other Inducements In the way of transportation and material for building that will undoubtedly be accept ed by the church.

A great many of them' have secured other posi tions, and and swelling the strike fund wiht a portion of their earnings. Some of them haev left the city to accept sit uations elsewhere. ' but the majority it them are- still In Portla'nd and Intend to remain her until, all differences are set- tied. : They are relying strongly upon tha genera boycott which will soon be In force against all tha products turned out by the several mills. When this Is once in thorough working order, they believe that further successful resistance to them will be impossible. They are also depending largely upon scoring a point when the Smith mill, on. tha East Bids, opens up for buslnesa The i COlleKe or optnai- proprietor has given his promise to rec ognise the union and .adopt the nine hour system. The building la completed, and the firm now la only awaiting the arrival of the machinery from the East, which-is due here now.' When it arrives it will be. but a matter of a few days when the mill will be In readiness to Start . operations. It Is expected to be running not later than , June I, and some believe that the machinery will be In stalled before that date. By running' two nine-hour shifts, tha proprietors of this mill will be enabled to use a majority of the woodworkers now out 'of employment; and when It start the strikers , are confident that If all differences are not settled before then it will have a strong tendency to bring the other millowners Into line. It' Is 'now fully understood and appre ciated, however, that . the proprietors have a strong" comblneg.rhlcl.3ta4.bea in process of formation for some time prior to the1 strike.

SALEM, May" HThere baa been much aald during tha present campaign rela tive to tha Democratic nominee for Gov ernor, George 'B. Chamberlain, as not being a man who, under all ctrcumatanoes had . tha moral "Courage to say "No!" Of course these charges are made by the "pusti" organs and whoever is at tha crank feels privileged to grind out this tune, the facta of the matter to the Contrary, notwithstanding. One noticeable incident happened sev eral years ago when Mr. Chamberlain waa Attorney-General for Oregon, which strik ingly shows what a keen sense of moral courage ha baa,, and ' how fearlessly he acta upon It It was along in 1888, when the Railroad Commissioners for Oregon brought united suits against the South ern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroad Companies, over alleged discrimination In tariff rates. Owing to the enormous ex pense of moving the books, employees, and Inconvenience of so doing to the railroad, fompanlea, it Waa stipulated that the companies were to pay all ne cessary fares of th litlgans In the cases, and that tba testimony be taken before a referee In San Francisco for the South ern Pacific and In Omaha for the Union Pacific. Circuit Judge R.. P. Boise, be fore whom the suits were brought, ap pointed Hon. W". H. Holmes, of this city, referee. Mr. Chamberlain, Mr, Holmes and the court stenographer W. P. Wil liams, went to San Francisco and there toqk the testimony before Referee Holmes fcr tha Southern Pacific. From there-Ihsy went to Omaha and took the ptifon Pacino testimony. It was while here that the keen moral sensibility of Mr. Chamberlain was seen., He was an ticipating a visit to Natchez to see one of i-relativeaVShS remarked upon it to his friends. John Thurston, the well known 'United States Senator, was tht leading attorney for the Union Pacific company in this suit, and hearing of the propoaed visit Of Mr. Chamberlain to Mississippi, sought him' out and In the most cordial manner offered him passes for his trip. Mr. Holmes, the referee, who was present at this circumstance, In conversation with a Journal reporter In regard to tha matter, said he never saw anything mora cordially offered, and more graciously declined. ''One could readily see," said -Mr. Holmes, "that nothing mere nor less than the conscien tious scruples of , Mr. Chamberlain laid behind the polite but positive declina tion. 'To a man of less moral percep tion, the taking of these passes might not have given a second thought, but to Mr. Chamberlain, liia keen moral sense prevented him accepting from hla legal opponents any personal favors. The Idea of accepting favor's - from the railroad company he had cam there to fight for equity to his state, "wounded his sense of Justice and hla deep moral sense of right. That little word 'No,' cost him nearly $200 In fares, but he had retained a consistent and conscientious position. It is very likely that Senator Thurston has forgotten about this, but it is cer tain that those who saw the Instance felt a deeper respect for Mr. Chamberlain af terwards. "These cases were, appealed to the Su preme Court but the court sustained the decision of the lower court By his ener getic and untiring efforts on behalf of the state, the people were saved thousands of dollars annually. And, to show how Just and right the findings . were, the rates on nearly all of the issues before Che court have never been changed since." 5 (Journal Special Service.) MEMPHIS, Tenth,, May 13.
