HORSEMEN HOPE TO SELL
POOLS AGAIN THIS FALL
Fair Management Declares It Has
No Such Plan in View.
An effort is to be made to repeal
the anti-poolsel'.lng ordinance so
that gambling may go on at the
Interstate fair races this fall. Just
how It is to be contrived is a ques
tion yet unsettled. Local horsemen
who are now in Seattle remarked
before they left that they intend
ed to induce horsemen there to
send their strings to this city be
cause they were confident that
there would be no legal objection
to pool selling by that time, which
meant that the ordinance was to be
repealed.
In such case, of course. Mayor
Moore would have to take another
trip Bast.
When questioned this morning
Manager Robert H. Cosgrove, of the
fair, declared in no uncertain terms
that If there was any such move
on the fair directors were not con
cerned in It.
"We have made our plans with
pool selling eliminated," said he.

"WASHINGTON, D. C, June 22.—
Responding to a summons from the
court, the Jury in the Hyde-Benson
land fraud cases today reported in
ability to agree on a verdict. The
Jury has been out since Friday.
Justice Stafford refused to accept
this as final and again requested
the jurymen to lay aside all preju
dices and opinions formed since
they were locked up and go over
the evidence in the ease as though
no discussion had been held. He
asked them to discuss the case dis
passionately and arrive at a ver
dict, The Jury was then locked up.
Several reports as to how the
Jury stood are circulated, ranging
from 11 to 1 for guilty to 8 to 1 for
acquittal, but It is Impossible to
learn definitely how the jury
stands.

Virginia to make
new coal record
SRATTIJL June 22— The creaw
of the battleship Virginia is going
after the navy's record for coaling
from lighters when the big ship

"And you may state that the fair
management has nothing to do with
any such a thing. We gave our
word last year that after the fair
we would not interfere with the
passage of the anti-poolselling
measure or endeavor to disobey it
in future."
Although the principal racing ar
ranged by the management is har
ness events, it is safe to say that
some fast running events will be
seen, almost equal to last year,
when gambling was allowed. Fol
lowing the Spokane meet this year
there will be meets at Walla Walla
and Lewlston. From the North
Yakima state fair many of the own
ers will ship their stock here and
race for some of the purses, as
this is preferable, it is said, to lay
ing idle without a chance of mak
ing any money. By bringing the
thoroughbreds here the horsemen
would break a long Jump to Walla
Walla and Lewlston.

COWARD CUR
LIAR THIEF
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.—
Coward, liar, thief, cur, were some
of the epithet applied to Walter
Barnett, accused wrecker of the
California Safe Deposit & Trust
Co., by Assistant District Attorney
Cook today in one of the fiercest
invectives ever hurled against a
man at the bar.
Cook went at length Into the evi
dence that was introduced. Fre
quently pointing his finger at the
defendant, who sat unmoved, Cook
asked for conviction on the first
count on whicn Barnett is being
tried, that of stealing $31,700 as
special administrator of the estate
of the late Ellen M. Colton.
"That man Barnett," cried Cook,
"is guilty of the worst kind of
breach of faith. He was false to
the trust put in him by the dead,
and guilty of a breach of the laws
of finance. Gentlemen, upon your
verdict depends the financial con
fidence of this city."
He said Brown, Barnett and
Treadwell were responsible for
wrecking the bank. Brown is serv
ing a term in the penitentiary. The
defense speaks this afternoon and
the case will probably go to the
jury tonight.

troduced an ordinance abolishing

ran the expenses so high, but that
the excess was due to negligence
and mismanagement. On account
of the regular meeting having a

wait, the council will take time to

KING EDWARD HAS
THE S WELLED HEAD
BY HARRY G. FARMER
Special OorrMpond.no. to Th. Press
LONDON, June 22.—Ring Ed
ward is losing his popularity
among his own subjects and Is run
ning the risk of becoming one of
the most disliked monarchs in
Europe.
His majesty Is suffering from a
bad attack of swelled head and is
accused of seeking to reintroduce
into England personal government
by the king.
According to the English con
stitution, the king is a mere
figurehead, with even less to do
than the vice president of the
United States. When Queen Vic
toria was on the throne, it was not
difficult to keep her from interfer
ing with the government of the
country, but King Edward has a
much stronger personality than his
mother had and he wants a large
say in all international questions.
As soon as .he got the crown
Edward informed his ministers
that he was not going to put up
with a minor interest in England's
affairs and intended to be a king
in fact as well as in name.
Then he began tours of Europe,
discussing foreign relations with
other governments and directing
the policy of his own country as
If he had been a czar.
At first the people of England
said nothing, for they didn't like
to publish the fact that King Ed
was trying his level best to imi
tate George IV.
But these continental Journeys of
the king have begun to get on the
nerves of the foreign office, and as
Edward's conduct has grown more
and more disrespectful to constitu
tional usages, murmuring* are now
beginning.
It Is very unusual for an English
newspaper to criticise any member
of the royal family, but stories are
now appearing, and letters to the
editor are being published. Jumping
on King Ed, and reminding him
that the old adage of "The king can
do no wrong" simply means that ho
can do no wrong because he Is sup
posed to do nothing at all.
When Campbell-Bannerman re
signed the premiership a few weeks
ago and Asquith succeeded him,
King Ed, who was taking a holiday

Mrs. S. A. Heudrlx attempted sui
cide yesterday afternoon at 7 Front
ay. by shooting herself In the right
breast as the result of despondency
over family affairs. She was taken
to Sacred Heart hospital where
this morning she is better and
there are hopes of her recovery.
Her husband went nway about noon
Saturday and it is declared that
Mrs. Hendrix thought he had gone
for good. H. E. Hendrix said this
morning that his brother went to
Blue Creek on business and would
have returned this morning but
missed tlie train.
Just previous to shooting herself
Mrs. Hendrix sent her sister, Ma
bel McCain, out of the room. She
had declared on numerous occa
sions that she would do away with
herself and when Miss McCain
heard the shot she ran screaming
for help from the house. The po
lice were notified instantly and the
patrol with officers and Dr. C. E.
Blkenbary hurried to the scene. Be
fore shooting herself Mrs. Heudrix
wrote a note to her husband de
claring her love for him and her
belief that he had left her forever.

KING EDWARD
at Biarritz, in the south of France,
did not come to London to receive
the oafh of allegiance from the new
premier, but made Asquith travel
half-way across Europe, leaving
England with no responsible gov
ernment head. This was unprece
dented, and the king had such a
lot of nasty things said about him
in the English papers that he got
frightened, packed bis grip on the
Jump and came home to receive the
oaths of the new members of As
qutth's cabinet.
Then the king allowed a friend
of his, a champagne agent, to use
Buckingham palace as his office and
send out letters on Buckingham
palace letter paper, soliciting or
ders. For this, Edward was repri
manded in the house of commons.
Then he had Mme. Titcomb, an ac
tress, exiled from Hyde park be
cause her sheath skirt riding habit
displeased him.
Edward's Journey to Russia to
call on the czar has laid him open
to more criticism than anything
else he has done. There was a de
bate about the journey in parlia

compel the government to order the
king to stay at home. English peo

keep away from the czar while the
