«MMK*ted at Kalama on a charge of assault
pg aK-PMtmaater Chambers, of Kalama, was
before Judge Haaford la the United
UM court, yesterday in pursuance of habeas
auiyas proceedings instituted on hie beha.f by
jaatact United States Attorney Kiefer.
ffcacsselaan lnterastiag one, and (trew out
af a dispute between Postmaster C. F. cmith
get ex-Postmaster Clarence Chambers as to
: jgMi tn eatitled to the Kalama office, Cham
fcHi claiming that Smith's appointment was not
valid, as it was signed by Wanamaker, whereas
IttSi'l is now poetmsater genera-. It is also said
the trouble waa deeper-seated. The town
af Ealama la aituated on a hillside, and a wide
gnat divides it into two parts. This street is
lliow the Level ol the sidewalks, and it is
ptfmedtbaS the celebrated Ealama postoffice
fght grow out of rivalry between the two di
ifcions o( the town. Be this as it may, on
Ikrch 18 Mr. Bon telle prooaeded to Kalama, act
■pg under instructions to turn over the office to
«Hitb. was rsslsted by Chambers, arrested and
laid in custody by tbe sheriff of Cowlitsoounty,
eating under a warrant issued by Justice of the
Jtaesßell.
The esse was called In tbe United States court
tftcfeiock yesterday and the release of the
|dsoner was resisted by Attorney A. H. Imus,
agpessating Chambers, and Prosecuting Attor
gcy Roes,of Cowlits county, appearing for the
aMa la the absence of both the United Btatcs
ahsrasy and his assiatant Judge Hanford de
atacad that he was prepared to decide the case
aSfcant argument. But if the counsel desired
they night offer arguments against the granting
af ttewrft.
Bias submitted an argument in favor of hie
ftattsa, proceeding on the supposition that
ckeabers was the postmaster and that Boutelle
lei bo right U> Interfere with him. To
gkaogtfeen hla argument be oontended that
might have committed murder instead
at sssaolt and battery and then sued out a writ
aflsbsas corpus, intimating that under those
afMastsacee the circuit judge would have no
)aria4i«tieu ( but that the matter would be for
•a state courts. In rendering his decision
Judge Haaford pointed out to Attorney Ross bis
Mistake in assuming that Chambers was post
■aata*also quoting from the supreme court de
attsa in the esse of Kagle, who killed Terry,
Jades Plaid's assailant. In certain particulars
fesaaM that tbe caaea were similar and under
ftacircumstances he considered it his duty to
Mlssse tbe prisoner from further custody.
After his release Inspector Boutelle took a
triple Lake Washington and dined at the Occl
taatal. where he is stopping. Mr. Boutelle, who
has hseo a reildeut of the Pacific coast for over
tueaty years, but wbo is a native ol Maine, and
Esther to Congressman Boutelle, of that state,
apsed lo give a Post-1 ntklligencib reporter a
hfctsry of hie experiences at Kalama, particu
larly as all published reports had b.-en incom
fists, aad betioe some a hat misleading. He
asid:
OB March 18 I received telegraphic Instruc
tions to proceed to Kalama and turn over tha
sostoffl-e to the newly appointed postmaster,
C, F. drnith, as the former postmaster, Cinreore
Chaaihsrs, refused to recognise Smith's creden

TIB lIMTIKVI WAS ALL RIGHT.
A Bad Mas rails to Keeapo Paalahasoat
by Hafceae Corpaa.
Yesterday afternoon, on peUtioa of Thomas
Boyum through a writ of habeee corpaa. Judge
Langiey in tbj superior court was asked to re
laeee Patrick Burke, who has been confined la
tbe county Jail on the charge of petit larceny
since December 19 ot last year. Tha judge
denied tbe petition and remanded tha prieoner
to the custody of the sheriff of King county,
end Burke will be compelled to remain In Jail
until six months have expired or ha can give a
good and sufficient bond in tha cum of 9200.
Melvin G. Wins lock, deputy prosecuting attor
ney. represented the state, and W. B. Tyler and
Ph.lip White represented the petitlonar.
On December 19, 1892, Patrick Burke pleaded
guilty to the charge of petit larceny, wsa fined
9zb and coats, and required to enter into a bond
of 93)0 to insure bis good behavior, and In de
fault to suffer imprisonment ia the county
Jail for elx months.
On behalf of their elient, tha defendent's
counsel contended that tbe law allowing thie
was unconstitutional, that tha fine aad impris
onment, la default of the good behavior bond,
made two puuishmente for tbe same offense,
end that the law as applied ia this case was al
together unreasonable and excessive.
Mr. Winstock, on behalf of tbe state, traced
the objects and purposes of the famous writ of
habeas corpus and the creation of the courts of
this commonwealth, defined their powers, and
submitted that the legislature had reeled this
power in the courts for the purpoee of prevent
ing the future commission of crime. He also
explained the difference between a double
jeopardy for the same offsnse aad diflfcreat parts
of the same sentence. The state oontended
also that tbe burden of showing any change la
the sentence was upon the defendant, as tbe re
turn of the sheriff on Its face was proper aad
legal.
Judge Langley's charge was clear and ex
plicit He declared the act constitutional;
that the petitioner or defendant had been com
mitted regularly and legally, and that he would
neither pronounce upon the wisdom or ability
of tbe legislature or the clemency or modera
tion of the Judge who Inflicted the esntence,
but ia view ot the law, aad bsslag his judgment
upon what wee before him, be felt compelled to
deny the petition, and an order waa signed re
manding the prisoner back to tbe oouaty jail to
serve out his sentence.
This is the first time that the question has
been decided in the superior court of this
county and its sffect will tend to make chronic
offenders have a wholesome reepect for the ad
ministration of justice in Seattle.
A Wire SUBS HER HUSBAND.
She Claims That He Has Defraaded
Her of Valuable Baal Bstate.
Tbe close relations between connubial felicity
and community property, with variations as to
which party holds title, are illustrated in a suit
brought yesterday in the superior court by
Mary Steele to set aaide conveyances of real es
tate executed by her to her husband David H.
Steele.
Mra. Steele's storv, aa Mt forth In tha com
plaint, is eutatantially M follows: She claim*
to bar* owned on July 6. 1892, one-fourth of
loto 1 and 2, of block 90, in D. 8. Maynard's p'.at,
consisting of property 120 feet deep, vitb a
frontage ol 90 feet on Yesler avenue; alao all of
lots, block 20, in A. A. I*enny'a addition* and
that tbe value or thla property waa 920,000. Be
aides thla, aba ssys that she aim owued 922,000
worth of real eaiate In Butte, Mont, and that
the property In both place* ia community.
Ou July 5, while raiding in thla city, aha
claima that her husband came on to aae her,
and represented that ha and hie two partner*
owned a valuable mine near Butt* City; that If
abe would give him a deed to her in tare* tin the
property he could control 9?5,000 to sink the
mine; that aa soon as tbe mine had been sunk
to a depth ol thirty-iour feet be waa to receive
♦20,000 in cash, which amouut ha would Imme
diately send to her to be loaned out at intereat
here; then they would all go to the World's fair.
Mow Mra. Steele claima that abe ia unakilled in
tbe law, and believiug he; husband and relying
upon hia representations, abe deeded to her
husband all ber Intereat in tha property here
aud Montana without receiving any consldera
tlon for the tranafer. Dla representations are
declared to be wholly false, and to have been
made to Mrs. Steele for tbe purpoee of deceiving
her and getting possesion of her property. To
leave no doubt that this waa his intention. It la
averred that aa soon as he obtained tbe deeda be
abused and 111-treated her, and threatened to
shoot and kill ber, adding that he bad her now
just where he wanted her; that he would eell
all of ber property and that aha ahould not get a
cent, lie was generous enough, however, it ia
claimed, to agree to allow ber a monthly allow
ance of 940 in place of the 9122 which aha had
received from rent*. Mr*. Steele states that ahe
is 52 years of age; that she has no means of sup
port, and beg* that the deeda executed bv her to
her husband be set aside.
AGAINST THI "SCALPKKB "
Northern Paciflo Snatalaod In Kafuaing
to Accapt Cat Kata Tickata.
Chas. K. Monroa vs. tha Northarn Pacific Rail
way Company, a case involving tha rigbta of a
purchaser of a uon-tranafarabla ticket, waa de
cided by a Jury in Judge Oaborn'a court In favor
of the railway company yoaterday.
Monroa claimed that In October, 15.91, he
bought a ticket in Spokane, duly laauad by the
company, which entitled bim to a paaaage
from that city to Tacoma, but that ha waa
wrougfully aud violently put off tha train at
Pro'aer, whereby ha was bruised and wounded,
suffered iu his bruinea* interests and reputation,
and wa* subjected to grave lndignltle*, all of
which injured him, ha said, to thaeztantof
16,000.
The company's answer to tbls waa that Mon
roe offered a ticket which was not sold to him
by any authorised agent of the company, bill by
a "scalper" or ticket broker, and which by ita
very terms was non-tranaferable, but waa lia
ble to be taken tip by the conductor if preaented
by any other psreou than the oue whose name
was signed to it; and it waa expreesed on the
ticket that in auch esse the person presenting it
would he charged full fare.
The compauy also asserted thst as tha train
waa approachiug Proaser Monroe offered this
ticket to the conductor and that it was taken up
by him aud tbe full fare demauded of bim. It
admitted thst he put off wben he re.used
to pay. but denied tbnt any uarea«onab'e or ex
cessive violence was used. The jury took this
view of the case, snd brought iu a verdict lor
the company.

WILL MARTHA CONRAD* WBDT
Harry King Haa tha Matter of TaUag
Her Voder Advisement.
The report circulated yeeterday to tho effect
that pretty Martha Conradt, of San Francisco,
and Harry King, of Seattle, would be married
immediately seems to have been tha creation of
a vivid imagination.
"1 cannot give you any decided answer," said
Harry King last evening in response to an in
quiry as to tbe report that all was arranged
satisfactorily and the marriage would take placo
Boon.
"There Is no reason for secrecy in this matter
and if Miss Conrsdt and myself sro married duo
notice will be given. The report in the after
noon paper given a* coming from Mr. Wiudal I
know nothing of aud he has talked on hla own
responsibility."
At this point Mra. King joined in the conver
sation aud said that ao far aa Mr. Coaradt hav
ing given bis consent all wa* summed up in hia
interview the uigf.t of his arrivsl. She thought
that her reistiou to llarry King should give her
some ssy in the matter, snd she should certainly
not agree to the marriage until avarytbtug was
sett.ed.
W hen asked if Miss Conradt wa* at tha bousa
Mrs. king inclined ber bead and said ths young
lady could be seeu if ahe so desired. This
courtesy was so unexpected and seldom met
with by the reporter that ha thought ha must
have beard incorrectly aud was about to ask an

WILSON TO BESIGN.
R. H. Calligan the Next Super
intendent of Water Works.
THE WATER FUND *6,308 SHORT.
Unaalasoas Paterae la atloa of the Board
of Psblie Works—Fablte later
eats Demand a Change.
Today W. E. Wilton la auperintendent of the
water worka; tomorrow it is mora than prob
able R. H. Call 1 gan will be. Yeaterday Mr. Cat*
llgan and Mr. J. M. Colman spent some time at
the pumping station at Lake Washington, as
they have done for many days, and in tbe after
noon they were joined by Commiasiooer Yaa
Brocklin.
Mr. Wilaon will be aaked this morning to ten
der bis reaignation, to be handed in at the meet
ing of the board of publie worka in the after*
doon, and if he refuae, the office will be de
clared vacant and Robert H. Cat llgan elected to
take his place.
The immediate causa is not made known. Tbe
members of the board give Mr. Wilson credit for
industry and for a deal re to do his beat, but they
bare come to the conciuaion that the beat in
tereata of tbe dty require a change of manage
ment Tbe members am unanimously of the
opinion that as they are under bonds they can
not be controlled by merely political considera
tions. Tbere Is no imputation whatever upon
Mr. Wilson's integrity; but tbe board has ar
rived at tbe opinion that his previous experi
ence was not of such a character aa to specially
fit him for the office of superintendent of water
worka.
Other members of tbe government who have
been consulted on the subject have come to the
same conclusion and the board feels aatlafied
that neither the executive nor legislative body
will fail to endorse its action.
At one time Alderman Ingrain was talked of
for tbe position, but he was not a candidate.
Mr. Ceillgan Is tbe member of tbe bouae of
delegatea from the Fourth ward. He has been
a member of tbe city council eeveral times, and
waa at one time street commiaaioner. He wes
also a member of tbe freeholders' convention
which drafted the present city charter. He has
been a reeident of tbe Sound for many years,
most of which were spent in Seattle. He Is the
owner of considerable property, and is a me
chanical engineer of considerable experience.
It was for this reason that be waa Invited to ac
company Mr. Colman in his examination of the
pumps.
Tbe trouble baa been brewing some time, and
oulminated upon the diacovery tbat Mr. Wilaon
had purchased without the knowledge or au
thority of- the board about 917,000 worth of pipe
beyond the quantity contracted for.
In Auguat last an ordinance waa pasaed by the
city council authorising a contract between the
city and the Northwestern Supply Company, of
Portland, for the purchase of 1,000 tone of water
pipe at $35.50 per ton, the company repreaeuting
that the price of the pipe waa 942 usually, but
they had a quantity on band they would sell at
the reduoed price. The contract called for the
purchase of 1,000 tons only, but required tbe
company, if more were ordered, to aupply It at
the aame price.
That quantity waa taken at a coat of 935,500, of
which 916,000 waa paid, and it waa assumed that
aa there waa 930,000 in tbe water fund, the par
meat of the balance of 919,500 would atlll leave
a margin. Now the diacovery la made tbat Wil
aon ordered 476 tons more at an additional coot
of 916,898. Tbe resnlt ia that the fund will be
overdrawn by 96,396, whfeh moat be borrowed
from another fund.
It was resolved, as there were seven car loads
lying at the depot not to aecept them, but later
still another discovery was made, namely, tbat
Wilson bad taken aome 10-inch pipe from nearly
all, if not all, of the cars, so that tbe entire con
signment had been "accepted."
The board very politely exoneratee Mr. Wilson
from any other charge than bad Judgment, but
firmly requeeta bis resignation.
TBB SEWER INSPECTOR.
Protest of the Master Plumbers
Against Abolishing It.
The Seattle Master Plumbers' Association, by
I. & McLellan and Frank Gordon, have eent in a
memorial to tbe board of aldermen against
abolishing the office of* aewer inspector. It
atatea that the aewer Inspector's duty ia such
that it la lmpoaaible to diapense with him with

further that an asalatant will be needed when

The general sentiment of persona who
carefully watch the coarse ot events and
are competent to draw conclusions there
from, is that Seattle is beginning an era of
greater growth and prosperity than it has
ever known before. Persons who have not
fall confidence in their own judgment
sbould get the riews of men in whose
opinions they have faith and act accord
ingly.
We propoee to be in a position to supply
every legitimate demand that arises in
Seattle for real estate, and in this con sec
tion have considerable pleasure in an
nouacing that we are able to sell

s4oo
Our specialties, as everr one knows, are
hish grade business and residence prop
erty. These iines comprise the balk of our
business and are what we hare the most
demand for.
But there are a good many people who
are not able to buy lots in Kenton Addi
tion and Squire Park, but still want to be
in a good neighborhood and within easy
reach of the business center—persons who
are not content to sro way outside of town
to get a home within their means and
spend from half an hour to an hour get
ting in and out and probably have the
annoyance of a transfer in the bargain.
Ordinarily the only property persons
with a small amount of money can buy is
so far out that thejr become discouraged at
the prospect of eyer getting a desirable
home, and continue to spend their money
for rent.
We don't handle wildcat property.
About every one in Beattle knows that
but we hare the best moderate-priced lots
eyer offered in this city and that, too, on
Uafan Stree;
The best street, with the best street car
line (double tracked) and the best street
car service in the city.
There is a car each way eyery four
minutes, and it only takes 16 minutes to
go down town or back.
You can liye there and go to and fro
without feeling that you are spending the
moit of your time on the street cars.
The Madison Street Cable Railway
Addition is on Madison street—not half a
mile away.
It is on both aides of the street and none
of the lots are more than a block away
from the cable line.
From a considerable portion of the
property there is a good view of Lake
Washington and the Cascade mountains.
You don't have to transfer to go to
Madison Street Cable Railway Addition.
It is on a direct car line and the fare is
a nickel.
Msdison street is the main artery to
Lake Washington.
This property is within a feir minutes'
walk of the lake, with all its amusement
and recreation features.
One important point is, you can

terms. If you make a protitable invest
ment through us pnce, we shall expect to
have you for a regular customer in the
future.
Lots in Madison Street Cable Railway
Addition vary in size from 30 by feet
to 30 by 155 feet.
The title is as straight as a string, and

Go and look at everything offered for
