Judge Hutton AnnotWiv. /.„„ He
Will Not Preside as He Is Preju

of Defendant
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—The
motion to dlsmia* the indictment of
Clarence S. Darrow on the charge of
having bribed Robert F. Bain, a Mc-
Naimara Juror will be heard by Judge
Hutton tomorrow afternoon. The mu
tton waa made today by th© defense
attorney* when Darrow appeared in
court for the setting of the trial on
a ball charge.
Several grounds were advanced, in
cluding that there had been no trial
within SO day* limit after the indict
ment and that defendant had been
once placed in jeopardy on the same
charge.
Claim Lack of Evidence
It waa argued that Darrow was
triad on the first charge as the part
ot a general conspiracy charged
arjalnst him and had been acquitted
and that the proeeeutlon had no evi
dence which had not been introduced
In the recent trial. Judge Hutton de
clared there was some foundation for
the request, but he desired to look
further Into the authorities. Neither
District Attorney Fredericks nor \V.
J. Ford, his assistant, were present.
Hutton Will Not Preside
Today Judge Hutton d.eclared posi
tively ho would not preside at the
•ooond trial, "It would be Inappro
priate," he said, "as I have a decided
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of the defendant Moat of the judges
in the county share my own mental
aHitude and it will probably be nec
essary to caiil upon the governor to
designate some Judge to try the
case."

LONDON, Aug. 19. —Hunted down
by British soldiers in the dept'as of
the Jungles of Central Africa where
for years In defiance to all authority
he had pursued the career of elephant
poacher and illicit Ivory trader, an
American, James Wood Roger* is
dead. Shot down by a little force of
troops sent into the wilderness with
orders not to return without the out
law dead or alive. The news came
formally to the colonial office from
Captain Fox, who . commanded the
expedition.
Tell Dramatic Story
Although told in an official report,
the story ls one of the most dramatic
In colonial annals. For years Rogers
carried on a lawless trade which pop
ular opinion credited him with net
ting him a fortune. The British of
ficials of Soudan repeatedly and vain
ly tried to trap him. Rogers, accord
ing to Fox, had established an or
ganized administration over the wild
trackless country and among the na
tives was virtually an uncrowned
king. Not since Henry M. Stanley
pierced the Jungles and found Dr.
Livingstone has such a story of hard
ships come out of Africa.
Outlaw Was Cunning
The pursuers spent weeks in plung
ing through the jungles. Rogers cun
ningly led them through the densest
swamp and forests and before the
outlaw was overtaken, had crossed
the Nile into the Belgian Congo-
Creeping up the Uganda bank of the
Nile the expedition spent six weeks
hefnre-the quarry was located. Fox
and his men were almost facing star

he died Rogers pulled his revolver

BOARD OF MANAGERS
TO ASSIST MILITIA
Plans Discussed for Erection of
Armory Here That Will
Be a Credit
The board of managers of the
Yakiina Commercial club, at a meet
ing held last evening took cognizance
of the need of the two local com
panies of the National Guard of
Washington for an armory. The
amount lost in the three fires with
which they have had a too intimate
acquaintance, would have paid 'the
interest for a long time on the
amount that would have constructed
a fine armory. North Yakima is the
only city in the state with two mil
itia companies that has no armory.
The managers were of the opinion
that the local companies should be
backed morally and otherwise, and
that, an armory should be built that
would not only do for the present, but
with an eye to the future. It wa*
shown that there is no large hall :n
the city at present large enough to
accommodate a large convention, and
that, consequently , the proposition
would not lie liable to meet with op
position.
The managers decided to assure the
National Guard officers that they
would stand l»y them In their hour if
n<ed. ,
Adjutant General Fred Llewellyn
was to have arrived on the train from
Seattle last night and hold a consul
tation wrch Secretary C. G. Ware on
what ia be»t to be done.

GOOD ADVICE
BY COMMITTEE
Board of Managers of Commer
cial Club Approves Suggestions
on Fruit Shipping
METHODS AND IDEAS ,
SOME TIMES CLASH
Amount of Fruit Crr Has Been
Unwisely Exaggerated, Which
Has Had Harmful Effect on
Prices Offered by Buyers
It will be remembered that the
Commercial club two weeks ago ap
pointed a committee of seven to in
vestigate the fruit shipping industry
of the Yakima valley. That com
mittee made its report last evening to
the board of managers of the Com
mercial club, and was approved.
Inasmuch as the matter is of vital
importance to the residents of this
region the report is published in full,
as follows:
Governing Board of the Yakima Com
mercial Club.
Gentlemen: We, your committee,
appointed to investigate the fruit
shipping conditions of the Yakima
valley respectfully submit the follow
ing report:
Appreciating as we do the very im
portance to every producer, every
business Interest, and every citizen of
our valley of the satisfactory mar
keting of our fruit crop, we feel
somewhat delicate in attempting to
make any suggestions considering the
short time we have had to cover the
subject and realizing the Importance
of the subject and the many angles
from which It may be viewed.
After extended conference with the
shipping interests of the valley we
have arrived at the following con
clusions; that the amount of the
crop has been unwise'y exaggerated,
which has had a somewhat harmful
effect on prices offered by outside
buyers, In that It has given the im
pression that the growers might be
alarmed at the fact, and fearful ot
not being able to market their pro
ducts would accept a low offer. In
stead, we find the facts to be, that
while we have a good crop, We also
have one of the most excellent qualits,
that ls in good demand by ihe con
aumlng public, and the conditions in
the non-fruit producing sections of
the country, are very favorable to a
large consumption at fair profit pay
ing prices. We find the local associa
tions, shipping agencies and dealers
are exerting every-effort, to distribute
the crop to the best possible advant
age. Each, dealer or agent, of course,
has his own particular methods and
Ideas as to how the best results may
be obtained. Naturally some of
these methods are bound to clash, and
lead to complaints of the other fellow
injuring the market but the publicity
of these complaints and local griev
ances, has had, and will have, a more
lnjurios effect than the actual condi
tions themselves might have, if prop
erly understood. As to the methods of
distributing, your committee feels that
the outright and promiscious consign
ing of products of any kind is ex
tremely dangerous and harmful and
can only bring one general result; dis
appointment. It may be, or seem nec
essary in some cases, but we believe
never accept with soft fruits, which
must go into consumption quickly,
and then it should only be resorted to
as a last expedient, and when neces
sary, should only be handled by v le
gitimate local agent or association
who Is acquainted with conditions and
who can properly safeguard such ar
rangements, so as in a measure, to
insure the grower satisfactory resulls.
We do not believe it is necessary and
would especially urge the growers
against individual consignments to
outside commission houses. While on
the face of it the growers may feel
that they are saving one commission,
in the end it will usually cost them
much more besides tending to disturb
the general market. The small charge
paid to your local shipper is only *
necessary selling expense that must be
paid In any event, for if the selling la
left to outside commission houses
they will surely in some way charge
to commission this expense. The
building up of a satisfactory market
rests largely with the grower himself.
He must get away from the old time,
and useless jealousy and suspicion of
his neighbor, and must combine with
him and work with him, that both
may prosper- To this end the local
associations are doing excellent work.
We wish to recommend to the
growers, in order that they may
achieve still better results, the import
ance of extreme care In picking and
packing of their crop and the putting
up of an honest pack, correctly
labelled. Try to find some other use
or outlet for your poor grades ra.th.-r
than force them Into the market to
break the price of your g i..d pi.id ml.
To Ihis end encourage and assist In
the establishing and operation of can
neries, evaporators and factories that
can utilize the surplus. If necessary,
to market the cheaper grades, sell
ineni for what they are. that is. see
that they go out under the proper
label: for every box. ol Inferior fruit
put on the market will have its In
fluence toward cheapening the entire
outout of the valley The brand of

TAFT SENDS MESSAGE
ON PANAMA MEASURE
President Wants to Assure For
eign Nations of Fairness and
Would Give Them Remedy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Presi
dent Taft closed a day of conference
on the Panama canal bill with a
special message to congress suggest
! ing the passage of legislation which
would permit American ships to
travel the canal toll free and which
would also allow foreign nations to
test the legality this provision by
suits in the United States courts.
The president discussed the mes
sage with members of both houses
and the wording was decided upon
at a cabinet meeting. It was the
belief tonight that effort would be
made to meet the president's wishes,
although some of the leaders were
inclined to think the message would
mean no further canal action at the
present session.
Action Would Abrogate Treaties
The president explained that he is
anxious to sign the present bill but
wished to assure other governments
of the spirit of fairness on the part
of the United States. The president
was told an act of congress would
have the effect of abrogating any
treaty previously agreed to and the
decision of the supreme court over
the Chinese exclusion act was given
as authority for the statement.
President Taft states he is confi
dent the exemption of the coastwise
vessel* of the United States from tolls
; was not a violation of the Hay-
Paunefote treaty.
I The message after being read In
, the houee was referred to the inter
state commerce committee. "It is
gone to bed so far as the house is
concerned," said Chairman Adam
son." He said he had not been able
to get quorum of his committee for
three weeks.
SENATE DEBATING
SIX YEAR TERM
Is
Caustic Comment From Senator,
Williams on Roosevelt's At
tude Toward Presidents
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 —The first
attempt of the senate, to debata
Works' resolution for a single tax,
six year term for president and vice
president plunged that body Into a
dis.ous.sion of the ptvlitical situation
today.
Senator Cummins m«de the princi
pal speech in support of the reaolo
tion but It was interpolated with a
running fire comment from progres
sives, republican* and democrats.
Senator Williams said Governor
Wilson never said anything unkind
about men who had been presidents.
"I offer a good 11.UO chromo to any,"
he sold, "who will «hovv me any
comment made by Roosevelt of any
president except Abruham Lincoln
and himself which waa in any way
complimentary."
POST FORFEIT FOR FIGHT

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—A certified
check for JSO'O'O was deposited to
night as a forfeit that the Johnson-
Jeanette fight will be staged in New
York city September 25. It is said
Johnson was expected to post a simi
lar forfeit tonight in Chicago. It ls
doubtful if the state athletic commis
sion will allow the negroes to meet
here.

Three Runs for the Hard

SELAH CONTINGENT
ROOTED UPROARIOUSLY
Great Game Billed for Next Sun
day at Sumach Park When
Selah and Moxee, Oldtime
Rivals Will Battle for Victory
The game of baseball at Sumach
park last Sunday afternoon between
Selah and the Tigers of North Yaki
ma resulted in a victory for the latter
by the score of I to 4. Like nearly
all the contests that have taken ptaoo
recently at the local baseball park,
the exhibition was a pretty one. and
the outcime in doubt until it became
necessary to use the sterotyped ex
pression, result unknown until the
last man had been retired.
Manager C. R. Slaughter has as
sembled a fine lot of players to rep
resent Selah, and they showed vast
improvement over their form on the
previous occasion of their playing in
this city. They played with a snap
and enthusiasm that at several stages
threatened to land the Tigers on the
wrong side of the scoring end.
The Tigers fired their heavy ar
tillery in the first Inning, while the
Selah boys reserved their fire until
the first half of the ninth. Selah
went to bat first. Armstrong was re.
tired on a fly to R. Grover. Larry
Tyrrell was safe at first when Cup
tain Grover coureousiy allowed his
grounder to roll between his legs.
Leo Tyrrell knocked a fly to R.
Grover, who completed a double play
by throwing to Russell.
For the Tigers, R. Grover led off
with a three-bagger to the score
ho^trd in left field, and scored when
Cloyd singled. The latter stole sec
ond when J. Grover doubled. , Rus
sell knocked a grounder to Gingres*
at short, who threw to rhlrd nntl
caught J. Grover. Russell stole sec
ond and went on to third when
Rochester threw high to catch him.
Cromer's single scored Russell.
Sanders batted a hard drive to Tom
Tyrell In left, who muffed it. Cromer
going to third and Sanders to second,
With men on second and third Martin
and Getchell struck out. Three runs,
two errors, four safe hits.
In the second inning Rochester led
off with a safe hit, after which
Gingrass, Dillon and Tom Tyrrell
struck out in succession. The Selah
boys were retired in one-two-thn c
order in the third, fourth and fifth
innings.
In the last half of the fifth inning
the Tigers one score. J. Grover drew
a base on balls ,and went to third on
Cromer's hit, after Rusooll had been
retired on a fly to O'Neill. Bandar*
went out, Dillon to Leo Tyrell. .Mar
tin retired the side, Gingrn.Hn to Leo
Tyrell.
Selah got its first score in the sixth
O'Neill led off with a safe hit and
went to second while Franks was
being retired, Cloyd to Russell. Arm
strong was hit by a pitched ball.
Larry Tyrrell struck out. but Leo
Tyrell hit safely, scoring O'Neill and
sending Armstrong to third. Rochester
went out on a fly to Sanders, leaving
Armstrong at his home position on
third base.
Selah was retired In order in the
seventh and eighth, but the Tiger*
made one in the seventh, bringing
their total to .">, and that was all they
did get. R. Grover got to first on in
error, and to second on another. He
scored when Sanders drove out B
single. The Tiger* were retired in
order In the elglnh
The ninth inning was what the,
Selah boya hud been waiting for.
Many in th* grand stand made read)
aa though to leave, but things i|iii<-li
ly changed. Larry Tyrell singled to
start the festivities and brother _*0
droven one to the fence for three
bases, cnmpleteing the circuit on a
wide throw home to catch him.
Rochester went out, R. Grover to
Russell Glngroa* got nn« Just where
he likes 'em, and punched the ball
over the left fiefd feme for a home
run. At this critical stage of th*
game the Selah boy* neoded only
one run to tie. Dillon knocked a fly
to short right field, for which Cromer
ran and would probably have .aught
had It not been for an accident, He
caught the toe of his shoe in a hiinrh
of grass and stumbled. Ihe ball strik
ing him on the forehead inst"nd of
In his big mil. [lillnn reached first In
safety, and seeing that second was
uncovered, trotted down to the sec

jected his presence Into the (fume by
going to bat as a pinch baiter for
Tom Tvrrell. He made one owip* •!
the ball, and his limps called the sec
ond one on him when Navleon by a
quick return cut tho cantor of thi
plate waist high. Mr. Slaughter then
made the third strike and the second
out. O'Neill struck out and the gam*
was over, leaving Dillon on second
to score In some future gtime.
