Umatilla, Or., June B.—The Spokane Byer which leaves Portland every evening was deliberately wrecked near Laterelle falls, below Bridal 'Veil last night. Miraculously no lives were lost. Engineer Cfaristensen went into the river with his engine, but managed to work himself loose and come to the surface where passengers rescued him. He was badly cut about, the wrist but otherwise was uninjured. Th.- fireman escaped by jumping as the engine left the track. The engine plunged into a big hole and is completely covered with swirl ing water. The' mail and baggage cars were badly wrecked and the crew had a narrow escape from fol lowing the engineer into the river. Trainmen believe that the wreck was deliberately planned by unknown par ties. Previous to the wreck several boys playing along the roadbed found spikes placed on the rails. They re moved them and reported to track walkers. Three spikes were after ward found at a point where the en gine left the track. Passengers were panic-stricken for a time, but the train crews restored quiet after it was found no one was killed. The train was ploughing through the darkness at the usual rate of speed when the engine struck the obstructions. Trainmen are at a loss to under stand who would make such a delib erate attempt to wreck the train. De tectives from Portland have been rushed to the scene and every effort will be made to trace down the guilty parties: PRESIDENT A WEDDING GUEST. Washington, D. C June 8 Though it is but two days since he arrived home, after his long and fatiguing trip through the west. President Roosevelt is to "take to the road" again tonight.

A 500 ST FOR HUM BY AN ADMIRER Fair Play Gives Number- of Reasons Why Present Mayer Shouid Be Reelected. Editor Statesman: The American people irrespective of their condition in life delight in fair play and the citizens of Walla Walla are not exceptions to the rule. We cannot all he hankers, merchants, or lawyers, much as we would like to he. hence some of us must pursue a more humble vocation. I am a saloon keeper and pay a heavy license to operate a business that is not illegiti mate, yet the state has passed a law making it a criminal offense to open my place of business on Sunday or to allow innocent games to be played on any day of the week. It is a well known fact that all laws are not ob served and that some of them are constantly violated. Years ago a law was passed by a legislative body of low intelligence, forbidding a city of ficial or a school director to contract directly or indirectly with the city or school district. Yet in the face of •his law tiie voters have elected of ficials who violate the same, and at the present time we are told thai May or Hunt, who i> a candidate for re jection, has profited by contracts forbidden by tin- law. Now I haw no complaint against Mayor Hunt. He has been a tolerant mayor and has in no wise interfered with me or my place of business. He has never sent any smelling t.mmittee around after night or on Sunday to sec whether or not we were, observing certain puritanical blue laws. He recognizes that stub laws are unfair towards an honest busi ness undertaking, and for that reason has freely permitted us to sell our goods on Sunday and to conduct such games as we saw fit. and in return therefor I shall do all in my power for his re-election. Why cannot the people at large see things in the same light as our worthy and benevolent mayor? 1 pay taxes on real and personal property and aid the city further by paying a heavy li cense. I have expended a great deal of money in fitting up toy place of business and in providing games for the amusement and entertainment of my patrons. The money received by me is spent in the upbuilding of Walla Walla. The saloon men contribute, liberally to the colleges, churches and charitable enterprises of the city. Many of our class have erected fine residences and substantial business buildings, the only four-story build ing in the city being* a monument to the public spirit of men in our call ing. The liquor dealers of Walla Walla have moral, social ami political in thience and their friendship is wel comed In the highest business and professional circles of our communi ty. We were conspicuously honored on presidential day in this city re cently, one of our number being as signed to ride in th.' same carriage with President Penrose of Whitman college. Another of our number was a delegate to the republican state convention and i> recognized as a cen ts a: figure in our county organization, his advice being eagerly sought in every emergency. Others connected with our busim ss as conductors of games of amusement are also recog nized as men of meat political influ ence and by their skill and frugal habits of living have amassed consid erable wealth, which they do not hesi tate to invest in Walla Walla real es tate. The examples referred to wield irreat power in state and local affairs and their support of any candidate is a trump card in his favor and vir tually insures his success as long as he shall prove himself worthy of stub confidence. In all fairness, fellow townsmen, let us consider the Sunday (dosing law as dead. The money taken in by us on Sunday as well as on every other day of the week, and the money received from games of amusement conducted in our places of business will circulate generally in this city and will add to the prosperity of all our people. Now with Mr. Hunt as mayor we arc confident that the present con di. ions will continue—that there will be no attempt to enforce fho Sunday law or the outrageous law recently passed by the legislature making it a felony to conduct an innocent game of chance. That is why i favor the re-election id' .Mr. Hunt as mayor of this city. What do w< care, then, if he does ignore th,' law prohibiting an official of the city or of the school district from entering into contracts or sell ing supplies to the city. Let us con sider this law. like the others, as ob solete and (b ad. Then cat) lie no rea son, fellow citizens, why we should not all pull together for the good of all and In* tolerant one with another. Saloons are as 'essential to the happi ness of the people as any other busi ness or calling, and we as factors in the general prosperity should be per mitted to share in the favors grant ed. I have been told by my friends and associates that it was useless to of fer this communication to the States man for publication as it would be thrown into the waste basket, but I have decided after mature considera tion to offer it to you before asking for space in the morning paper. FAIR PLAY. Gen O O Howard, the famous Kentucky soldier who thinks he can stop the feuds that have brought sucn notoriety to Kentucky by making a rsonal appeal to the people. Kentucky soldier, who thinks be can A number of Gen. Howard s rela tives are involved in these tends. Gen Howard is well known In the West as an Indian fighter and Chris tian soldier. NUMBER 73.

I AST MAIN STREET. AAd Y r D Have Always 1c:; A FORCEFUL SERMON Rev. Wylie Spoke to a Large Audience IT IIKE CMItl LAST SKIT ••Behold I bring You Good Tidings of Great Joy Which Shall Be to All People." Despite an exceptionally warn: evening in June a large and interested congregation filled the First Presby terian church last night to listen to a sermon by the Rev. David G. Wylie, D. D.. pastor of the Scotch Presbyter ian church of New York City. The service was conducted by the Rev. Albert Dale Cant/., minister in charge. After the invocation, scripture, open ing hymns, responses by the choir am! a solo by Miss Inez Harer. Mr. Cant/, introduced the preacher of the evening in a brief but affectionate manner, as one who, though young in appearance was his father in the pastoral work, from whom he bad received all that was good in bis practical work of the ministry. Before coming to Walla. Walla Mr. Gantz had gone direct from Princeton to act for two years as assistant pastor in Dr. Wylie's great church in the metropolis. The speak er then arose in the hush of expecta tion and delivered one of the most forceful and stirring sermons ever heard in the "•Brick" church. His text was. "Behold 1 bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people," Luk 2:10. He took as his general theme, What Christianity of fers to the worid. and spoke in part as follows: "This text is taken from that charming chapter of the new testa ment which announces the birth of Christ. We find from it that the joy bringing gospel, heralded in this an them of the ang> Is was destined to be universal —to all people. Such was the gospel at the beginning. It was to be good news, full of joy and offer ed to all people. Such it has been through the centuries, and such it shall be until the end of the world. What does this triumphant Christian ity offer to the world? First, it offers to the world a divine revelation —a book. In addition to the volume of revelation which nature spreads out before us in earth and sky and sea. her great Author has published a sec ond volume. Because, in the first vol ume, which tells of his creature wis dom and power and majesty some very important things are omitted. Nature is silent as the grave with reference to forgiveness, redeming love ami life etc rnal. Christianity brings to us this invaluable supple mentary volume —that Book of books —the Bible. That incomparable book with its history, its biography, its phil osophy and poetry. An imperishable volume. It has outlived the storms and tempests of the ages. Men have hated it. They have sought to con tine its influence. They have chained it and burned it. But it still lives. Cod has said. Heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall not pas s away. Christianity offers therefore to an inquiring world a divine revela tion the Bible. "The second thing which the relig ion of Jesus offers to the world is a redeemed society—the church. It is often spoken of as an organization. It is more than this, it is a vital organ ism throbbing with divine life. It is adapted in its jollity to a world-wide need, and embraces in itself the pur est and best society of the world. Man needs companionship. The church offers him the society of the redeemed. "Christianity brings to the world, in the third place, a peerless person ality—Jesus of Nazareth, holy harm less and undented, separate from sin ners. The sentence cd' the Roman gov ernor when Christ stood before him. and th mistakes of flife. It offers to the darkness and ignorance of the world the light of the knowledge of the glorious gospel of Christ. And it adds to the knowl edge of right living, the power of right living, making possible to man the attainment of the ideals which it sets before his vision, because it breathes into a soul dead in sin, the life-giving spirit of a living Cod. "Christianity offers, last of all, the infinite supply of all human needs, both in time and in eternity. The hour will not permit us to speak of the wondrous provision God makes for his people in time. How an under standing of his bountiful love should sweep away all care and anixety for the body, because of the Father's ample provision for all its needs. How God gives to the believer free elom from the fear of ever coming to want. The hour will also fail to tell us of the spiritpat helps to holiness. THE EVENING STATESMAN, MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1903. T j:--* newer to resis temptation. The ncouragement and hope inspired in the down-hearted. The sympathy for the sorrowing. The open door into the heavenly city, as the shadows of the eternal world settle down on the soul. That moment is coming to us all. 'We may be nearer the brink, even today iha.i we think.' God will not disappoint us in the dying hour. Ah no. Christ comes to us with the ffer of an eternal life, in a house of many mansions. What a boon to a .■in sick, tempest-tossed world! Life eternal in the world to come. "Let us go forward then in this hope of the glorious gospel of Christ tii! the shout of the isles shall swell the thunder of the continents in the song of that glad hallelujah—The Lord God omnipotent reigneth." Dr. Wylie leaves tonight tor his home in New York City. A farewell reception will be tendered to him at th Manse to which the officers and members of the church and friends of the congregation are all cordially in vited, this evening from 7 to 9:30 p. m. WALLA WALLA VISITOR HURT. Henry Stamper was seriously hurt in an accident at the Milton depot Tuesday, while traveling in the Inter est of the Weston Real Estate associa tion. He was coming home from Walla Walla on the mixed train, which stopped at Milton to meet the Spo kane-bound, train. Nearly everybody on tiie mixed train got off the cars and were lounging about. Mr. Stamper says that the conductor failed to give the usual warning when the train pulled out. and in hurrying to get aboard he was thrown between the car steps and depot platform. Mr. Stamper's face was badly bruis ed, his hips jammed, ami his right foot severely mashed. He was brought on the train to the Weston depot where friends met him in a car riage and conveyed him to his home. His injuries are not expected to prove dangerous, although they will disable him for some time.—Weston Leader. CHANGE IN STATE BOARD.

In j addition to this, three-fourths of the high school faculty and at least three -1 fourths of the students are now op posed to Prof. Coleman and desire his j removal. Parents and other citizens who have been closely watching the muddle at the high school are earnestly hoping that Principal Coleman and the other members of the faculty who have not been abie to agree in the conduct of high school work will be dismissed by the board of education. Discord the Coming Year. It is realized by all unbiased citi- Zens that affairs in the school have reached an unfortunate stage, and that unless those taking part in the squabble are removed the ill-feeling, want of discipline, and discord will continue during tne coming school year. Prof. Carmichael. who crossed swords witii Principal Coleman, has been absolutely denied a hearing by the three out of five members who compromise the board of education, though the hearing was requested by Superintendent Saylor. Principal Coleman, on th.- other hand, has been given a full hearing by the board. Fuel to the flames of discord has beenmdded by the permanent suspen sion of Leland Deffenbaugh. a student, by Principal Coleman as a result id' the stand taken by young Deffenbaugh in ihe t rouble. Deffenbaugh was or dered by Prof. Coleman not to come back to school next year. The only way to permanently suspend a pupil is for the principal to recommend his suspension, for the superintendent to approve the recommendation, and tor the board to carry out the suspension by a majority vote. LAW IS CONSTRUED. Opinions Rendered by Attorney Gen- eral's Office. Olympia.—Assistant Attorney Gon er oss rendered another decision rel ative to the construction of certain parts of the revenue law of the state. It was in reply to a query from the state auditor as to the meaning of property in litigation" a s refered to in the revenue law. The question arose in King county, where the assessor claimed that the clerk wanted to return under the head of "property in litigation" only the money paid to him as advanced fees in litigation. The assessor insisted that all moneys belonging to others in the clerk's custody, even though in satisfaction of judgments no longer in litigation, should be turned over. The attorney general holds that the law must be construed as requiring •he custodian to list only such prop ty or money as may be in his posses sion March" 1. the title to which is in litigation to such an extent that the ownership cannot be known certainly. Advanced fees on the litigation cannot under this opinion be con sidered as money in litigation. Nei ther could money paid over in satis faction of judgments no ionger in lit igation. Another opinion was rendered by CASTORIA. Bears the ■K«* JJ Haw Alwajs Bcjgfr? THE EVENING STATESMAN, MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1903. Mr. Ross in answer to inquiries made by A. F. Davis, of Vancouver, county i assessor. Only one point raised is new, and that i's as to whether ground upon which timber destroyed b; Qrep since .he la*; ;.sse was ..adej i enti'.e Ito 1, valur lien on j t£uu a ii io held thai the as- si .-so;- has no authority to lower the valuation of such property, but there i is nothing to prevent the board of equalization from considering the ad visability of so doing. Word has reached the city from Vancouver that Judge J. T. Miller] has rendered a decision in the contest! rase on the will of the late Abides Howard Hunt Stewart of this city, j holding tne will to be a valid docu ment. An estate of $100,000 is in volved. Judge Miller was called to the bench of the superior court of this county to hear tiie case. Mrs. Stewart, a famous pioneer and club woman of this city, died in San Fran ci&co in January. 1902, leaving the bulk of her estate to her closest friends, Mrs. Eva Gove, of Tacoma; Mrs. Sarah M. Utt, of Passadena, Cal ami Mary Lowe Dickinson, of New York, the latter a charitable and phil anthropic worker of national repute. Her blood relations were cut off with pittances. Eastern relatives, includ ing a brother. John Hunt, of Lynn, Mass.. contested the will. The tes tamentary capacity of the deceas d was the chief contention. The trial was a sensational one through the efforts to show the un due influence of tiie legatees of the will, and the mental condition of Mrs. Stewart. The case will now be car ried to the state supreme court. Mrs. Stewart was the wife of Col. Robert G. Stewart a pioneer of Olympia. who died many years ago. On his death Mrs. Stewart managed the estate, and through her marked business ability, not only kept it intact, but greatly increased it. She was the founder of the Wowan's (dub of tin's city, 'he oldest organization of its kind in the northwest. A LAW BY NEXT THURSDAY. New Gambling Statute With Felony Clause. Seattle. —Thursday next will see provisions of the new gambling law in force. Gambling then will be a felony, and punishment will be im prisonment in the penitentiary on con viction. What the action of the state gamblers will be is interesting spec ulation. For several days much gossip and many unconfirmed rumors have been afloat concerning the probable action which the local gambling fraternity will take once the law making this offense a felony becomes operative. The statute, according to reliable au thority, becomes effective at midnight. June 11. so that any gambler who at tempts to operate any of the various games of chance usually represented in public houses will incur the risk of prosecution by the state after next Thursday. Unless their present intentions are altered, members of the local fraterni ty will not. test the validity of the law in the King county courts, but will abide the outcome of the attack which will be begun in Spokane and carried to the supreme court. Ever since the law was passed there has existed a tacit understanding among the more prominent gamblers all over the state that this plan of assault would be ex ecuted. It is the purpose of the big houses in the several cities in Washington to pool their interests in a concen trated effort to annihilate th.' statute at the earliest possible moment. To this end an attest and prosecution will be launched in Spokane. The de fendant will interpose a demurrer to the complaint, alleging that tiie law is unconstitutional. Should the lower court overrule the demurrer, an ap peal will be taken to the supreme court. In this way. it is pointed out. the validity of the new law can be tested without actually jeopardizing the lib erty of the defendant who will take can 1 to provide that, should the de murrer lie finally overruled, tiie evi dence necessary to a conviction would be lacking ai the actual trial. The new gambling bill is almost an exact duplicate of the old law. except that it changes me punishment from that following a conviction for mis demeanor to imprisonment in the pen itentiary. Under its provisions all forms of poker are interdicted, as well as faro, roulette. Monte, hazard, craps and blackjack. HEAD IS BLOWN OFF. VV. A. Crone Commits Suicide With Dynamite. Seattle. —By placing a dynamite cartridge in his mouth and lighting the fuse. W. A. Crone is believed to have blown his head off some day dur ing the past month. His headless body was found in the brush about two miles north of Ballard and fifty yards from the Great Northern track. Robert Dean, a 10-year-old boy, living on C. street, in Ballard, saw the body while picking berries. He went back into the city and the .cor oner's office was notified. Deputy Coroner Wiltsie went out to the scene of the find, and the body was taken to Ballard. Investigation around the place where the death occurred revealed the man's jaw-bone lying on the ground. Pieces of his skull were hanging on tlm surrounding trees. A piece of copper, evidently from the exploded cartridge was imbedded in a log back of the man. The body was discovered in a downward posi tion, as if. after receiving the shock standing, the trunk had swerved downwards on the hill. When the clothes were searched four dynamite cartridges were found inside the vest pocket. A piece of fuse about four feet long was lying on the ground. In the dollies were a program of a variety theater, two mirrors, a silver watch, a pair of spectacles, several boxes of matches and .1 receipt for a postoffice money der. It is through the latter that vhat is beloived to be identification of the body was made. The checkered tweed suit, light shirt and heavy pair of logging shoes lead to the belief that the dead man was either a logger or a miner. PENALTY IS DEATH. Court Denies Champoux's Motion for a New Trial. Seattle. —James Champoux. alias Zenon Champou. the convicted mur derer of Lottie Brace, a concert hall singer, whom he stabbed in the head with a dirk knife, and who died two days later in a local hospital, will suffer the penalty of his crime on the gallows, unless the supreme court in terferes with the finding of the lower court. Superior Judge Bell over filled the multitudinous motions which the defendant's attorney lodged and argued in an effort to secure a new trial. Champoux's attorney argued for a new trial for his client on thirty-three different counts. The principal ones were that the court erred in submit ting the verdict of the jury in the in sanity trial to the jury which tried the man for his crime, and that the infor mation on which he was tried was defective. It was argued that in effect the in formation, though it attempted to charge murder, in reality alleged man slaughter, in that it did not set forth malicious intent, and failed to state that the victim was killed. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Todd argued the case for the state and' contended that the words "mortally wounded" were sufficient to convey the meaning contemplated by tiie statute. DEPOSITORS GET THEIR MONEY. Defunct First National of Vancouver Will Still Have Funas. Vancouver, Wash. Receiver A. B. Sastham has announced that lr- has been authorized by the controller of the currency to declare a dividend of 10 per cent to depositors of the First National Bank of Vancouver, which suspended in May. 1901. The divi dend, which will be ready for payment in about 30 days, wiil complete the 100 per cent due depositors, three for mer dividends of 50, 25 and 1") per (•(lit. respectively, having been paid. The resources of the bank, however, are not entirely exhausted, and an other small dividend wiil probably tie declared about the time of winding up the affairs of the defunct bank, which will go toward paying the in terest on ib posies since the failure of the bank. The 10 per cent divi dend just declared amounts to about $26,000. UNDERWOOD CASE POSTPONED Congested Condition of Calendar the Cause. Seattle. Wash.—Prosecuting Attor ney Scott has announced tha, owing to the fact that the criminal court calendar is badly congested it will be practically impossible to try Nellie Underwood before the fall term of court. The case was docked for trial last Saturday but the prosecuting attorney on Wednesday consented to a contin uance for one week owing to the ab sence of John ft. Hart, the defendant's counsel, from the city. When it. was attempted to find a place on tiie calen dar for the latter part of the month it developed that no time could be assigned as it is probable that the trial will consume fully a week. Un der the circumstances the case will go over until September and possibly October. Barnes —I'm afraid I'm losing my mind.

Clew to Whereabouts of Mrs. Charles H. Murray, of Tacoma. Tacoma. —Charles H. Murray, the story of whose determined search for his wife, who so mysteriously disap peared last August, has become com mon to nearly every policeman on the Pacific coast, has at last discovered a clew whicb he believes will result in his finding her. A wealthy Cali fornia mining man by the name of \Y:il!ace. whe was an uncle cf John J. Vreeland, a relative, who disappear ed at the same tin c as Mrs. Murray, died recently and left quite a compe tence to Vreeland. Efforts are now b ing made by Cal ifornia lawyers to discover the where abouts of Vreeland, and Murray is positive .that when Vreeland is found, Mrs. Murray will be with him. Me i.» also certain that the fortune Wallace itas left Vreeland, will tempt him to come out of hiding. The disappear ance of Mrs. Murray proved to be one of the most heart-breaking tragedies in real life that has ever come under he attention of the police of Tacoma. Murray and Mrs. Murray, with their children, and Mr. Murray's mother, came to Tacoma about two years ago from Michigan. They rented a home in the south end. Mr. Murray obtain-j ed employment, the children were, put I in school, and to all appearances the family was prosperous and happy. One evening in August Mr. Murray came home from work and found his wife gone. She left a letter s f ating that she would not return, giving as her reason that she could no longer bear the constant friction with her mother-in-law, and tha- to attempt to endure it would result in insanity, and she merely chose the lesser of two evils. She took with her only th" clothing she wore and half the money that was in the purse Mr. Murray had left for family expenses. Prior to that time Mr. Murray had never known there was any trouble between his wife and his mother, his wife having carefully concealed all j her troubles from him. After her de parture he learned that during his absence from home his mother had disagreed with his wife's methods of running the domestic affairs and man- I aging the children, and while Mrs. Murray had found the chain too diall ing to be tolerated, she had been true :to her settled determination to never i allow herself to be thrust between her j husband and hi.- mother. I Immediately after her departure Mr. Murray began a search that has continued withoul intermission from that day to this. The police depart ments in every city of the west were j notified of the departure of Mrs. Mur ray, descriptions were furnished post masters everywhere, endless chain lot- I ters were started and private detec tiVe agencies were enlisted, but not the slightest clew of the whereabouts of the missing woman has been dis covered. A few days after the woman's de parture. John J. Vreeland, a near rel ative of Mrs. Murray, also disappear ed, saying before he left that he did not know where she was. but he in tended to find her. That was the last sen or heard id' him. Since his wife's departure Mr. Mur ray has built a cottage for his mother, and he earnestly desires that his wife know thai if she will return no trouble some domestic complications will in anywise embarrass her. and that only a kind welcome and the comforts of a home await her. Through the means (if a detective agency of Tacoma, Mr. Murray roe, atly learned of the Wal lace will, and the hope is held out that when Vreeland was found. Mrs. I Murray would also be found.

THAT "VICIOUS MISSTATEMENT.' The lf the story is that Mr. Van de Vanter was loyal to King county, because he was willing to support Jacob Furth for senator. Mr. Furth. it is laboriously explained, was not willing to enter the race. Therefore Mr. Van de Vanter's loyalty to his own county ceased, and he voted for a candidate from Walla Walla. All of which, ac cording to the Commonwealth, makes Mr. Van de Vanter a citizen and a statesman of whom King county is justly proud. "Since contributions to the remini's sences of the late senatorial fight are apparently in order, here is one: Van de Vanter was nominated for the sen ate at the King county convention a year ago. J. D. Farrell. who had charge of the railroad political inter ests in King county, was profoundly suspicious of him. and virtually con cluded an understanding with his democratic opponent whereby the railroad support was to be thrown to the latter. Then James F. McElroy, attorney for the Northern Pacific, butted in. He had been prosecuting attorney of King county when Van de Vanter was sheriff, and, although Mc- Elroy was a democrat and Van de Vanter a republican, the two were (dose friends. McElroy went to Far tell and personally guaranteed Van de Vanter's loyalty to the railroads. An understanding was reached be hind Mr. Preston's back, whereby the railroad support was thrown to Van de Vanter. "In Olympia, when the railroad's concluded that the King county 'bunch' had played their pitiful farce of loyalty to Mr. Preston long enough. Van de Vanter and his associates were reminded of their promises, and Mc- Elroy stayed with Van de Vanter for days. I ultimately the political mort gage was force dosed. Van de Vanter in the interim, it is true, did suggest that Mr. Furth be brought, into the race. This wa s done simply to get Preston out of the fight anil release the King county crowd from the bind ing resolution of instruction for Pres ton. Nobody understood this better than Mr. Furth. and he declined to be used as a catspaw. Ir the Common wealth, therefore, wants to print the true story of the Furth dark horse In cident, here it is: "Mr. Van de Vanter and his asso ciates could have elected a King THE EVENING STATESMAN, MONDAY, JUNE 8. 1903. county senator any time they saw fit. Had they delivered five votes to the railroad commission bill Harold Pres ton would now be in the United States senate. The railroad lobby, however, had made other arrangements. Its program included two things: Hi the defeat of the commission bill, and (2) the election of a candidate outside King county to the senate. That pro gram had no more devout follower than A. T. Van de Vanter." WHAT WILL BE DONE? The new law making it a felony to conduct a gambling game and another new law making it a felony for any man or semblance of a man to live off tne earnings of a fallen woman will go into effect, at midnight Wednesday, and there is considerable speculation as to whether or not these laws will be enforced in this city or whether, like some other laws, they will be ignored and the present wide-open, free and easy system be continued. Very likely a brass band show will be made of enforcing the new laws until after the city election, about one in..nth. and then the present condition of affairs will be gradually resumed. The two (dasses affected probably number fifty or sixty and their votes may decide the result of the election. RATHER SARCASTIC. New York Sun. Juno 1. Reports from Ohio which represent the Hoik Marcus Alonzo Hanna and his friends a? nursing bitterness of spirit because of the president's bold requisition upon the party in that state should be cautiously received. If there is any trace of an acid re action in Mr. Hanna's sou] today, it cannot have been produced by the un expected but most gratifying circum stance that has enabled him to rpove his admiration and love for Mr. Roose velt. A devoted friend like Mark Hanna does not sulk because fortune has given him an opportunity to yield promptly, cheerfully and gracefully, on demand, a point of political etiquette, an academic theory of the proper mode of procedure. Don't be lieve it! If anything is clouding Mr. Hanna's happiness, it is the thought that For aker has artfully managed to appear more promptly responsive, to the president's unuttered wishes than himself. Even this insignificant ob scuration will vanish in the joy of spreading the wedding feast at which the president is to be the most con spicuous and honored assistant: and later, in the ardor of preparation for a midsummer voyage among the beau tiful isles of Greece where burning Sappho loved and sang. Mark Hanna is checking off islands at this moment, not delegates. Nor is there anything but cordial acquiescence in the tone of the Hon. Charles \Y. Fairbanks' announcement on Saturday night that there will be no opposition in Indiana to the in dorsement of Mr. Roosevelt. Nor, again, in the eagerness of the Hon. Thomas Collier Piatt so to shape tne municipal contest in New York, and so to arrange all questions of lo cal leadership and management ad to contribute in the greatest possible degree to the illustrious character of the president's personal triumph in the convention a year and more hence. Piatt sulking or intriguing at bis age? Why. that simple-minded and single-hearted patriarch is chuckling over his own early discernment, and hourly repeating to himself the firs, infantile utterances of Theodore Roosevelt which called his experience'! attention to the promise of future po litical greatness in the youngster. Such is the compelling force of a fixed purpose, backed by legitimate self-confidence, a frank disregard of all the conventionalities, and enot moti's personal popularity.

Russian savagery in dealing with the hapless Jews of Kishenev and the people of the Chinese territory occu pied by the Czar's soldiers tends to confirm the theory that the spirit of Russia is one of retrogression to Ori ental standards Aather than progress along Occidental lines of civilization. Logically accompanying these sig nificant developments i's the further fact of the bitter Russian resent ment of publicity of Russia's misdeeds. It. will be remembered that the trage dy on the Amur river, where Russian troops drove thousands of Chinese men. women and children at the 1 point of the bayonet into the stream, wnere they were drowned like cattle, was kept from the world's knowledge as long as was possible to Russian de nials of the truth. As to how Russia regarded the crime, the promotion of the officer by whose orders it was committed, furnishes eloquent testi mony. Only when the full story be came known to the civilized world did 'he Czar's government, sullenly and resentfully, so far yield to out side influence as to revoke tiiis act of promotion for crime. T!ie Kishenev horror has been mark ed by similar developments. Because lie told the detailed truth of the massacre of the Jews of Kishenev. the St. Pt' rue this Spring. 6. E. KELLOUGH.

HUMPHREY'S SWELLHEAD He Imagines He Is (lie Whole Thing MAXES BEHIMHS AT WASlil.Vli.O. Secretary of the Navy Moody Sits Down Hard on Presumptuous Young Man. The Washington, D. C. correspond the Oregonian says: It has bean a long time since a come uncong< nial to him. and the department is much too large for a man in his health. When Payne took the d partment it was expect' .hat he would took after the political end of affairs for the ad ministration, on account of his long connection with the national commit tee, and acquaintance., with, politi cians throughout the country. It was suposed that the department would run along very smoothly and would not require so very much executive action. Hut the developments of the last few months have been such as to show that rigid care is necessary in the management .if this department, which handles so much money and where there are opportunities for so many irregularities. The differences between Payne and Wynne resulted, first, from Payne's criticism of the first assistant, he cause the latter was too free in giv ing out reports of ahuses and irregu- Larities to the press, while the in vestigation was in progress. Payne believes that Wynne has also encour aged some newspaper attacks upon him. Wynne feels that Payne has not stood by him as he should, and is trying to prevent him from getting credit for the investigations as far as they have gone. When the matter is brought to the notice of the president. Wynne's po sition will he quite strong, because he began the fight on Machen and Heavers. When Wynne became first assistant he found that the two bu reaus presided over by these men were tun almost independent of the first assistant, and both of them were inclined to defy him. He began to assert his position, and followed up the newspaper attacks upon the irreg ularities of tin- department. The fact that he has forced both of the officials out will no doubt help him with the president in any contest with Payne. Possibly Wynne will be made post master-general, but attention i's di rected more towards Fourth Assistant Bristow, who. more than any one else, has been responsible for unearthing th-.- irregularities in the department. WORLD'S W. C. T. U. Geneva, Switzerland, June 8. American women, English, women.

THE EVENING STATESMAN, MONDAY. JUNE 8, 1903. TO TEACH THE DEAF BOW TO TALK Persistent Efforts of Joseph Miller to Start a School in Walla Walla. Walla Walla, June S. 19**3. Editor Statesman: It is a subject of congratulation to the friends of humanity that some in telligent citizens have taken into con sideration the practicability of estab lishing a school in our city for teach ing the deaf. Pel haps it is a truth not generally known that the art of teaching those unfortunate beings who have been horn deaf has arrived to so great a perfection that they are actually 'aught to read write and speak and understand what is spoken. Of all he intellectual acquirements of man the noblest is that of vocal speech, and o Ijc the means ot imparting this to individuals who must remain dumb for life without the interference of their more fortunate fellow beings what can he more delightful to phil anthropy, wiiat more worthy of Chris tianity? It should he further understood that there are two systems of teach ing the deaf and dumb —one practiced by staie institutions, the other by iay schools. The last is so unlike the firs, 'hat it may he eonsidi red as a distinct art for by methodical signs 'leaf are instructed to converse with each other only; whereas the day school has attained the astonishing means of instructing them to speak with the tongue and become useful and intelligent members of society. The inclose! letter is one of many that I receive from teachers and members of the American association o promote thi I aching of speech to the leaf. Pi'::, it if you please to -how your intelligent readers the cost per capita. So a comparison can be mad between a state asylum and a lay school. San Francisco.

Res; "Ctfully, JENNIE B. IIOLDEN. HORSE PROVED HIS IDENTITY. Several days ago a stray horse was round on the Hudson boulevard. Jer sey City, and was taken to the stables of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. John Hems, a West Hoboken florist, called at the so ciety's office yesterday and claimed the animal. "How are you going to prove owner ship?" asked President McCarthy. "Don't have to." 'said Hems. "If it's my horse he'll prove the owner ship by doing some tricks I taught him. If it isn't*my horse I don't want it." They went to the stables and Mr. McCarthy told the stableman to turn the horse loose in the yard. "Come here, Jack;' called Hems, as the animal came out. With a whinny of delight the horse ran over and rubbed bis nose against Hem s breast. "Shake hands!" said Hems. The horse carefully lifted his right fore foot and placed it in Hem's out stretched palm. Hems walked over to Mr. McCarthy. "Jack." said he. "take out this gen tleman's watch." The horse took the president's watch-chain between his teeth and gently pulled the watch from the pocket. "All right!" said President Mc- Carthy. "1 guess lie's your horse." Hems took the animal home.—New York Times. Minnesota Federation of Labor. Little Falls, Minn., June B.—Men of brains and brawn, upwards of 3uo in number filled the courthouse today when the twenty-first convention of the Minnesota s,tate federation of la bor was called to order by President M. E. Neary of Minneapolis. The roll call developed the fact that the convention is the largest in the his tory of the organization. Not only Minneapolis. St. Paul, and Duluth. but many of the smaller cities of Minne sota are represented. The opening session was occupied with preliminary business, including the appointment of the necessary com mittees. The annual report of Sec retary W. E. McEwen shows that the union labor movement has made great strides in the state during the past twelve months and that the situation generally is satisfactory. There are a number of matters "of importance to he considered by the '•onvention durinsr the three days it will be in session that make the fathering of more than ordinary in terest to the labor world. If the de sire of a large and influential element is acceded to. questions of socialism will receive less attention than has been the case at former conventions 3f the organization. Most interesting is the election of officers of the fed eration. President Neary and Secre tary McEwen. it is said, are anxious to be re-elected, but for both offices there are a number of other strong aspirants and the contest promises to be exceedingly lively before it is ended. KNOWS HE WAS SHOT. Elanch Booth Doesn't Accept the Story of Her Uncle's Recent Death. .Minneapolis. —.Mis-- Blanch Booth, the actress, who now conducts a dra matic school in this city, does not believe the report that her uncle. ,lohn Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln, escaped capture and lived in the southwest until last January. Miss- Booth read today a telegram received here yesterday from I Enid, Okla.. to the effect that the body of David E. George, who committed suicide at Enid, Jan. 14. has been identified as the remains of John Wilkes Booth; that the identification has been made positively by K. Bales, of Memphis, the dead man's attorney and confidential agent; that the same testimony has been afforded by Booth's nephew, Junius Brutus Booth, who saw the body, and by Jo seph Jefferson and Miss Clara Morris. Who were able to recall certain phy sical peculiarities of John Wilkes. According to thi's telegram, Booth Bed after Lincoln was shot, to the Garrett plantation in Virginia. The man Killed as the presumed assassin was named Ruddy. From Virginia. Booth found his way to Kentucky. il<' afterwards settled at Glenrose Mills, Texas, where he kept a general store and was known as John St. Helen. "I don't believe there's a hit of truth in that story," said Miss Booth. "The body of John Wilkes Booth was given to Edwin Booth and was kept for several days at Weaver's under taking rooms opposite the stage en trance of the old Holiday street thea ter in Baltimore. The remains were identified there by George Ridell and other actors and by Joseph Booth. John's brother. Of course these friends might have deceived the an thorities, if John had really es caped. But the body was also iden tified by a New York dentist, who re cognized work that he had done. on my uncle's teeth. I do recall that last year, while I was on the road out west. I got a card from a man in some little town —I can't remember what place it was. The card read 'John Wilkes Booth.' Bui I was v"ry tired that day. and 1 looked on the man as an impostor, so I didn't see him. "1 can't remember how my uncle looked. But he was a man of a very pronounced personality. As an actor no was known by sight to many per sons in and about Washington and Baltimore. It would have been almost impossible to have taken the body of some other person for his remains." Miss Booth added that she did nm know the Junius Brutus Booth men tioned by the Oklahoma novelist. Her uncle of that name died in 1883. His father, the elaer Booth, the first Ju nius Brutus, died in 1852. and no other Junius Brutus Booth has continued the hisironic genius of the family to the third generation. TRUST TO FIGHT TRUST. Wholesale Grocers in Ohio Combine Aggregate Capital Is $10,000,000. Chicago.—A combination of whole sale grocery companies with a cap: tal of $10,000,000 is being formed in Ohio by Frank S. Letts of Chicago, who is vice-president of the National Grocer company, of which H. H. Hig inbotham is the head. Announcement was also made yesterday of the or ganization of the Canadian Grocers' company, limited, having a capital of $5,000,000, and headquarters at To ronto. This company includes nearly all the larger grocery concerns in Canada, According to Mr. Letts, who is presi dent of the Western Grocer company, owning and operating a number of grocery house., in [owa, Minnesota and Missouri, this plan of co-operation of jobbers has been decided upon as the best, way to bring to terms various trusts with which grocers have to deal. Mr. Letts says the combina tions he has formed are not trusts, and that eventually it is expected to organize grocery houses from New York to the Rocky mountains. Com binations will be organized in New York soon. HORSEMEN ATTENTION.

There was a paling fence around the house, and the inclosure was alive with chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and pea fowls. In the sunshine on the veranda two pointers lay sleeping, but at the bound of the opening gate they rose, stretched themselves lazily ami gaped. "They are in the parlor," said Mrs. Bishop, as she whisked off her break fast shawl. "Go right in; I'll come in a minute. I want to see bow Linda is makin' out with the churnin'. La!

Alan went into the parlor on the left of the wide, uncarpeted hall. The room had white plastered walls, bnt the ceil ing was of boards planed by hand and painted sky blue. In one corner stood a very old piano with pointed, octag onal legs and a stool with haircloth covering. The fireplace was wide and uign and pad a screen made of a dec orated window shade tightly pasted on a wooden frame. Old man Bishop sat near a window and through his steel framed nose glasses was carefully read ing a long document written on legal cap paper. He paid no attention to the entrance of his son, but the lawyer, a short, fat man of sixty-live with thick black hair that fell below his coat col lar, rose and extended his hand. "How's Alan." he asked pleasantly. "I saw you down in the field as I com* along, but I couldn't catch your eye. You see, I'm out after some o' your dad's cash. He's buying hisse'f rich.

WARM YESTERDAY Wasthe Second Hottest Day of thelSeason THFRMOMETER RECORDED 93 Dry North Wind Believed to Be Doing Some Damage to Fall Wheat. Which Is Beginning to Head. Yesterday was a scorcher. It was ill? hottest day of the month and the second hottest of the year, the gov ernment weather bureau at 4 o'clock reporting the temperature at 93 de crees. Accompanying tiie sun's scorching rays which heat down on he city from early morning to late it night was a dry north wind which blew with more or less regularity all lay long ami made shady spots much sought after almost untenable at times. The lowest temperature re corded last night was tin degrees. Tiie regularity with which a strong north wind has sprung up for several lays is causing some alarm among farmers though none will admit that any damage lias so far resulted except to dry out the ground to considerable extent. Fall wheat in certain portions of the county is beginning to head out and a continuance of the winds it is feared will result in a certain amount of damage, though apparently none has been done yet. The heavy deficiency in the year's rainfall, reported today to he 3.54 inches sine.- January Ist combined with tiie north win,ls is causing sev eral farmers in the foothill district to take a pessimistic view of crops onditions.
