(Journal Special Service.)
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.

CONFIDENT
Planing-Mill Strike Shows but
Little Change.
The planing mill situation remains
practically unchanged. It Is not expect
ed that any agreement wlU be reached
for several days. If at all. Both sides
are obstinate, and claim that they Witt
not yield. .
The men say that they are prepared
to make a prolonged struggle. 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

(Journal Special Service.)
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."

MINES AND MINING.
One week's clean-up at the Black

stamp mill was recently erected, netted
the owners $700.'
Seven Inches of cobalt, and the rich

of rare metal are also found gold values

two of their properties this aeason In the
Sumpter District, and will put two more
in condition for work. . A portion of this
company's ground is high up, and can
not be worked till late when snow melts,
but the returns after work commences
have proved large, as Indicated by the
constant enlargement of facilities.
Judge M. G. Munley of Portland Tues
day made a trip of Inspection to a large
placer property owned by him In the
vicinity of Lawton. He spent but two
days on the ground, which was for the
purpose of determining what should be
done with the property. He Indicated that

sell, depending on the prospects as drawn
from his report Blue Mountain Ameri

witness tho greatest placer clean-ups
which have been known for years. In
several places there has been a marked

STOCK OUTLOOK GOOD.
C. W. Mills, live stock agent of the
O. R. & N. Company, who has been frtBk
ing around in the Blue Mountain district
for a week past In the interest of his
department, got in this morning. In
speaking of general conditions prevail
ing lie said;
"The outlook la for a very heavy clip
of wool In Oregon thla 'year. Tha in
crease in ' the way of spring Iambs Is
very large. Sheepmen feel very good
over the way matters are looking, al
though prices are very uncertain.
"The Indications point to unusual ac
tivity in the way of sheep and cattle1
shipments Just now. Although the prices
are considerably lower than last year, tha
movement Is Quite free."
Editor of What?
From the sSnny Southland, "where the
sweet magnolias bloom," has come the
voice of the Charleston News and Cour
ier. It speaks In sugared accents of Al
bert Tozler of Portland, formerly presi
dent of the National Editorial Associa
tion, members of which are now In the
South. The Oregonlan reprints the ar
ticle from the Charleston News and
Courier under the headline, "A Liire Or
egon Editor." It Is only pertinent to in
quire of what is Mr. Toiler editor?
x PENSION THE VETERANS.
The Oregon and Washington delegates
In Congress are working very hard to
have Congress pension the Indian war
veterans. The President and Speaker
have been Interested In this matter and
the chairman of the pension committee
will surely acquiesco.
THE MARKETS.
A decided firmness In the egg. markets
has made a slight advance la quotations
this morning. ; Lighter receipts trnd a
closer clean-up of the market is the
cause. Eggs today are quoted at IS and
cents, with most of the sales at the
latter figure.
The vegetable market is lively, receipts
and demand being about the same.
Onlona are quoted at J3 today.
Changes In the grocery market are
rather scarce, and business Is steady. An
advance has been made on walnuta
. The wool market Is exceedingly dull,'
with very light receipts.
In the meat line, pork continues scarce,
with a tendency to higher quotations.
Larger receipts on other meats la re
ported. JOBBING PRICES.
