Innocent Man Convicted
OLYMPIA, Apr. 10.—(AP).—Fred
Humphreys, farmer near Colfax,
; Whitman county, who was received
I at the state penitentiary on March
j 17 under a sentence of from six
I months to 18 years, following con
' viction of grand larceny in connec
tion with the theft of some wheat
| from a neighboring farm, was re
leased this morning in an uncon
ditional pardon granted by Gov.
Roland H. Hartley, this being the
first pardon issued by the governor.
It was stated at the prison that
the trial judge, the prosecuting at
torney and ten jurors signed a pe
tition to the governor requesting
the pardon on the grounds that
they now believed the wheat was
stolen by other parties and hidden
temporarily in Humphrey’s barn,
where it was found, resulting in his
arrest.

COLD STORAGE
BUYING FISH
The San Juan Fisheries and Cold
Storage opened for business here this
week and are now buying halibut in
any quantity offered. The price paid
for fish is six and three cents, which
is within three cents of the price
paid at Ketchikan and southern ports.
Owing to a large supply of frozen fish
on hand at the beginning of the sea
son. the price has been lower this
year than for many years, but it is ex
pected to stiffen within the next few
weeks.
Many improvements have been made
by the local company and halibut in
nearly any quantity can now be cared
for. Manager Jensen has the machin
ery of the big plant overhauled and
in good shape, and ice is being made
daily.
N. Y. Jazz Artists Making
Fortune Dance-Mad Berlin
BERLIN, Apr. 10.—Dancing may
be on the wane in Paris. Jazz music
may begin to cloy for the pleasure
seeking Parisian.
But in Berlin, both dancing and
jazz are just now reaching their
reel heights.
They have been adopted by “so
| ciety.”
And, be it known that German
“society”—not the showy “Schieber”
type that one sees around the flashy
hotels—is as conservative as Union
club society in New York, or Back
Bay’s upper crust in Boston.
But, German society has now put
the stamp of its noble approval on
jazz music and jazz dancing, and
hence on with the dance, let joy
De uneonnnea.
Eric Borchardt, who learned to
say “Tlioity Thoid” somewhere
around Thirty-Third street, N. Y.,
and later became the pioneer of
jazz banders in Germany, is the
lion of the hour. Eric only owns
a few limousines, a villa or two, and
a bank acount that reminds one of
the inflation days. Every afternoon
he is busy with orders to play for
Baroness von Thisorthat’s tea dan
sant, and every night until the dawn
he is tickling heavy German feet
with the latest zizzer from Broad
way at Count Meouts swell soiree
or Princess von Wurstchen’s jazziest
of jazz dances and so on.
Eric opines that the jazz colleagues
in Paris may have the best of the
bargain in the matter of real gayety.
But when it comes to taking the
cash and letting the credit go, Eric
picks Berlin first,-last and all the
time. There have been a lew
attempts to outdo' him in the jazz
field. But the competition has just
as much chance ‘ as a wandering
German band ■would have against
Paul Whiteman’s aggregation.
Ask the nouveau riche or the
real society dame who invented jazz.
Eric Borchardt will be the answer
quick as a Hash.
There are other jazz bands here.
Some of them are American; some
of them are British; and some of
them are German under an Ameri
can or British name. They have
their hands full on the four dance
days allowed by the Berlin police
and manage to make a nice com
fortable living on their off days
by playing for the upper “500.”
The winter now closing has been
Germany’s wildest in the dance line.
A veritable fortune has been
poured out in dance and champagne
—dance tickets at $5 to $10 per
person and champagne at $5 to $20
a bottle.
And the dances became daringer
—if there’s such a word—as the
winter w’ore on. The caricaturists
of Berlin—“Die Karikaturisten”—
put on an affair in mid-February
which they called a dance. What
folks in private called it could not
be reported in the farm and fire
side press. Suffice it to say that
it w’as a scorcher which left even
hardened old Berlin gasping.
And, if you know Berlin in these
post-war days, then you know that
is saying a column or two, for Berlin
doesn’t gasp without real provoca
tion.
Just to be a little plainer about
the whole affair, it might be re
marked in passing that the modistes
and the cloth factories would go
out of business and probably enter
fig gardening if the costumes of the
Karikaturisten ball became the latest
everyday mode for all mortals.
All of which serves to prove the
original thesis, namely, that Jazz
dancing and Jazz music have Berlin
by the ears.
NERO, FAITHFUL DOG,
DIES AT GRAVESIDE
OF HIS OLD MASTER
LANCASTER, O., Apr. 9.—(AP).—
Death today ended the long vigil
of Nero, a dog, who died on his mas
ter’s grave in a lonely cemetery here.
His owner, Charles Farmer, was shot
to death last July in a gun fight with
prohibition officers. Nero followed
the funeral procession to the cemete
ry where he kept watch daily, only
leaving the grave at short intervals
to secure food. All efforts to coax
the dog away failed.
Once humane officers were about
to shoot the dog when the cemetery
trustees stopped them.
Tonight a boulder marks the grave
of Nero. Ministers tomorrow in their
sermons will refer, just as they
have in the past six months, to the
love and devotion of Nero for his
master.
The gas boats Omanay, Orient and
Muriel 11 took oil at the Standard
dock yesterday.
Charles E. Bunnell, president of the
Agricultural College and School of
Mines is expected to return from Ju
neau on tomorrow’s boat, where he
has been in attendance at a committee
meeting of the Territorial legislature.
