HARRIGAN, TRAMP JUGGLER,IS WORTH A BIG FORTUNE

Would suppose that JamesE. Harrigan, the tramp juggler atthe Orpheum this week, was therichest man in his line of business?Surely from his pictures and fromhis makeup you would not, butthat is what he is. He has inter-ests which are worth several hun-dred thousand dollars, one of whichis the Perry Sand company of Buf-

falo, a firm that furnishes sandand gravel for concrete work InNew York state, and owns a fleetof boats that dig the sand from theNiagara river.

He is connected with the con-cern that controls the wood alco-hol output of the country. Besidesthese interests he has stocks,

bonds and bank accounts enoughto make the reporter who inter-views him astounded at the thoughtof the existence of so much moneyand in the hands of a tramp jug-gler at that.

He has two automobiles and getsa new one every year. He is nowhaving his 1910 car made to orderby the Pullman Auto company. Assoon as airships are practicalenough for a novice to run, he isgoing to have one.

Yet Harrigan is a saving man,because he wants to get enough toquit playing "the bum" in vaude-ville. That enough, according tohis view, Is $20,000 a year year in-come.

Mr. Mantell haswon a place second to none in thehearts of the American pnblic, andthis after many years of prepara-tion and after enduring the greatesthardships. There is much to betaken into consideration In themodern presentation of the Shakes-pearean drama. Aside from the in-dividual conception of the leadingrole there is the adequate mountingof the plays and the scenic environ-ment which cuts so important afigure.

BIG TRADE CARNIVAUWASUNIQUE AND SUCCESSFUL

One of the most unique enter-tainments ever given by amateurswas pulled off at the Auditoriumlast night and Tuesday evening. Itwas a sort of advertising carnival,called "Carnival of Trades," givenby the Tenth Legion, a ladies' aidsociety of St. Paul's Methodistchurch. These ladies are amongthe bravest in Spokane, for theyhave pledged $10,000 toward thenew church to be built on thesorner of Monroe and Augusta.

$1000They have already paid Inin the last six months and theyhope when the bills are settledthat they will have made $500 outof this cornival, though from Indi-cations the work put into this af-fair warrants a far larger garnerof shekals than this amount.

The Carnival of Trades IncludedIn Its repertoire of boosting busi-ness men of Spokane who help allthe good things, the followingfirms: Doerr-Mitchell, The Em-porium, Goble, Pratt ft Robbins,J. H. Roberts & Bro. Co.. RuffinBros., Spokane Gas Co., Elk drugstore, Carpenter's paint store, Spo-kane Candy Co., NorthwesternBusiness College, Inland Tea ftCoffee Co., Wm. Brown, tin roofer;Sherman, Clay & Co., WentworthClothing Co., Hoyt Bros, florists;Empire bakery, Western Soap Co.,Cole Printing Co., The Chronicle,The Press, Vintner & Nelson, Wal-ton College, Miss Ogilvie, milliner;John W. Graham & Co., EliteStudio, Crystal Laundry, McDer-mid & Salnave, engravers; Kempft Hebert and Rev. E. M. Hillsbook. "The Story the CrocusTold."

Some of the representations wereas* near perfection as it is possibleto bring anything in this world andall were well done. Possibly themost striking were "Cupid's Di-gression," where Cupid, in the per-son of little Elwell Parmiter, drovehis span of beautiful girls, Lillianand Marian Varney, across thestage, and brought down the housewhen he climbed into the queen'slap, and "Julio and Rominette,"impersonated by Ivan Corner andMargaret Ellis, who did their rolesIn a way to delight everybody. TryMe Soap's representatives did thatfirm proud when tho Dutch Cleans-er girl, the washerwoman and theGold Dust Twins were driven offby the fairies. Margaret Collins andHelen Ellingson. Little Miss Col-lins repeated her lines so that ev-ery person in the building knewthe virtues of Try Me soap. Ine

Gold Dust Twins were imperson-ated by Eddie and Willie Edmon-son, whose father is in the em-ploy of the Crane shoe store, andthey did their part well. TheQueen of Trade, Miss Mabel Vest,and her retinue posed during thewhole entertainment and made Ut»

PLEA OF SELF DEFENSEAsserting his innocence of the

charge of murder for which he hasbeen sought by the police for 10days, and insisting that the blowstruck by him that ended the ca-reer of Gilbert Trueblood on thenight of April 2 was delivered inself defense, Johnny Lockard, aged24, with tears rolling down his boy-ish face, last night told The Presshow the tragedy occurred.

After the encounter with True-blood Lockard left town and wentto Seattle, as he feared mischief atthe hands of the friends of the in-jured man. He did not know thatTrueblood had died or that he wasseriously hurt until he walked intohis old home at the Cadillac hoteland was' there told of the outcomeof the case.

Lockard was urged and readilyconsented to give himself up, firstculling for Alex M. Winston ascounsel, and then giving his narra-tive to The Press. With his at-torney, the hotel people and thereporter Lockard walked to thepolice station at 8 o'clock lastnight and gave himself up to Cap-tain .Miles.

derlying cause of Lockard'strouble. He wanted to be a goodfellow and have Trueblood, whowas working as a porter in the Ar-lington bar, 310 Sprague avenue,take a drink with him. He hadknown Trueblood for some timeand was on very friendly termswith him. Trueblood was hard ofhearing, and failing to catch theinvitation of Lockard, the lattersays he gently poked him with thetip of his umbrella to attract hisattention.

"This seemed to make True-blood mad," said Lockhard, "andhe raised the brush broom that hewas pushing over the floor andstruck my umbrella with it, break-ing the handle. He then seemed tolose control of himself and raisedthe brush handle and hit me withit across the nose, making a badcut. Fearing that he might do mebodily harm, I seized the brushhandle from his hands and hit himwith it on the head. He fell for-ward toward the bar and let hishead drop on the bar, and then Iwalked out for fear that the menin the place might attack me inrevenge.

"Soon after I went to Seattle toremain until the affair blew overand today I came back, only tofind that the man had died. I hadno intention of harming him and Ithought I struck a light blow. Butit seems to have landed in a badplace, for I understand the mandied the next day.

PLEA OF JUSTIFICATION."In the light of the circumstances

I feel justified in the assault madeon Trueblood, for the way he wasgoing after me was such that Ihad fears that he might, in hisanger, do me severe harm."

Lockard comes from Tower City,X. D., where his father and mother,'two sisters and two brothers live.He has been around Spokane forsome time and has been employedas a man ou hoisting engines. True-blood was a man of about 50, and is,said to have been interested in theArlington bar. The chief of policehas asked the city council to cancelthe license of the saloon for fallingto report the Lockard-Trueblood af-fair for over two hours and a half.The matter will come up for ahearing soon.

When Chief Justice Puller's seabecomes vacant George Woodwai'Wiekersham is slated to tak«j tholeadership of the co irt. Wickersham was a J. P. Morgan lawyerHirf firm of Wiekersham, Strong «iCadwalader, of which Brother Henry Taft is a member, is the leadingWall street "office" firm. It seldomappears before the public. Theydefended the sugar trust somiyears ago in the famous $.10,000,000suit brought by a competltoagainst it. The trust lc.it the casebut the Judgment was much lowerthan the amount asked, and Stronj& Cadwalader are said tc have re-ceived a fee of more than $1,000,000.

A Harlan vacancy will make,with the recent appointment cfI,urton, a clear majority ot thebench named by Taft, and all cor-poration lawyers to the backbois.There is good reason to believethat this fifth job will go to a manof the same stripe as tho otherfour.

The present vacancy?Brewer's?goes to Lloyd W. Bowers, who,before he came to Washington, be-longed to the Chicago & North-western and Illinois Central rail-roads. The latter paid him an an-nual retainer of $30,000 per year.

If Moody has to resign, thenJacob McGavock Dickinson, pres-ent secretary of war, willprobablytake his seat.

The ages of the men who arethe most likely candidates to fillthe coming vacancies are the mostsignificant feature of the reorgan-ization. Bowers Is just 51; Wiek-ersham approaches 52; Dlckinsoiis 59; Lurton, the first announcedTaft appointee, is 56. Usually su-preme court justices live long. TheTaft reorganization, if carried outas planned, may be counted uponto give the court to the interestsfor 20 years, auyhow.

Dickinson, before he joined thecabinet, was general counsel forthe Illinois Central?the Harrimanconnecting line. He received farmore than he receives from UncleSam.

In Bowers and Dickinson thesupreme court will have two asfine railroad lawyers as eversteered a merger. ONLY FEW PENNIES.

Bowers and Dickinson did notgive up fat jobs to come to Wash-ington at less money for nothing.Lowers left his railroads with theunderstanding that he was to beraised to the supreme bench atthe first opportunity.

Roosevelt tried to reorganize t.:esupreme court and put in men towhom personal rights are at ieftjtas sacred as property rights.Moody, who is sick, is such a manand Teddy wanted to ace a majorlty of men of his stain,* in thecourt.
