THE EVENING STATESMAN. VOLUME 30, TREASURER ROBERTS Makes Address Before Bankers' Congress STABILITY OT THE CURRENCY The United States Has a Stronger Gold Reserve Than Any Other Nation. San Francraco, Oct. 23.—Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer ot the United States, was the orator of honor at to day's meeting of the American Bank ers Association in convention bere. "Effects of the Influx of Gold" waa his theme, and he began by dwelling upon the tremendous results that have been brought about in the world of finance by California throughfher production of gold. In 1847 only $889,000 worth of the yeMow metal was produced in the United States; to 1902 our mines produced 80,000,060. How appropriate It is that the American Bankers' as sociation, representing over fourteen billion dollars of resaorcea, should meet here on the Pacific coast with the "boms shepherds of the golden fleece." In th« TKBji IHHiii-at tha beginning of the month of October, the gold in the stock of money was $1,277,- --862,051; the amount beta by the tress, my was $054,811,7*; and m circuhv tion in coin and certificates was 81,016,648,698. "If this association," said Mr. Rob erts, "could order ttu» stock brought before It, and couM get the metal bere hi a solid mass, we should hare a cube of nearly sixteen feet, weighing 2,353 tons and requiring 147 freight cars to move it Were all coined into eagles and placed edge to edge, the line would be 2.116.84 miles long, say from New York to sixty miles west of Colo rado Springs. Of the world's produc tion in 1902, amounting to 8290,000,000; the United States furnished $80,000,- --000. In goM stock, In circulation and In officio! holdings, our country sur passes every other nation. "Before this year ends," the speaker said, "If our present rate of Increase continues, our stock of gold wHi ex ceed that of all the European eosntrte» which have a combined population ot five times that of the United States. Adding the holdings of our national banks, which amount to $322,000,000 and the treasury, which has $655,000,- --000, our financial system is based on nearly a Million of dollars In hard yet low metal. The public and private credit of Great Britain rests on $166,- --856,000 in the Bank of England; or Germany on $170,371,000 in the Im perial German bank; Of Russets on $404,396,000 in the Imperial bank; of France on $494,506,000 in the Bank of France. The plethora of the precious metal in our country presents three problems—what is to be the effect on our currrency? What on prices and wages? What on our world's rela tions? "Our currency rests absolutely solid on its rock-bottom of gold," exclaimed Treasurer /Roberts. "Some ghost-see ing Macbeth may dread the rush of United States notes for redemption; may suspect that some secretary of the treasury will use silver for official payments; may tremble at the hasard of world legislation. "He forgets that $200,000,000 of the United States notes are of denomin ations of $10 and below. The people need all small notes and clamor for more. They are beyond the reach by any secretary for large payments. The power of congress is vast, but it can not climb Niagara, nor can ft ovei come the majestic force of this yellow flood of $80,000,000 a year. "Our yellow metal passes in St Petersburg and Pekin, in Hong Kong and Tokio, and the United States note and silver certificate march with ft in equal favor. The Amerces people were urged to make flat money be cause it was cheap, and to coin silver at 16 to 1 because it was cheap. They rose above the temptation ant de clared not once but twice and always that they want not cheap money bat the best in the world. Ana tney have it, and the annual inflow of $80,000,- --000 assures it to them and -reward* their wisdom. "How afr and in what direction is the vast inflow of the yellow metal carrying us? The blind may see that in the past five years the business of the country has been expanded in some directions in an unparaJllelod degree. Credit has been multiplied at least to four times the amount of cash added to our supply. The exploitation of gigantic industrial corporations ran on at a dangerous fcpeed, fortunately to exhaust itself by its own excesses. Promotion of stocks and bonds is not industry; it id speculation, and thai finds help and impetus in inflation. ."Those who have climbed too high into the realms of credit must come down. The promoter who has failed to distribute his stocks .and bonds may be punished, and those who hare petted his schemes may suffer. But a shrinkage ef inflated securities to their true value is not a public calanv lty. Our financial system can not tot ter, much less be wrecked. Prices of commodities have undoubtedly been, borne upward by the inflation. Carroll D. Wright decdares the cost of living to have increased from 15 to 17 per cent, in the last five years. Advance la wages follows increase in cost of living. In many cases it has exceeded tho rise In cost of living. The general average may safely be stated at from lf» to 20 per cent. "How do these influences bear upon our world relations? First of all, our surpassing wealth in gold has placed our national credit on a plane above that of all other countries, and nevei before held by that of any government. British consols, bearing per cent, interest, long the foremost type of credit, have recently sold below 87, while consols of the United States bearing only 2 per cent, range from 1.08 to 1.10. Only unbridled folly, not conceivable, can shake this solid struc ture. "Obviously the supremacy of our na tional credit adds to the strength of the- commercial credit, fluence In alll tha world* "We Invade the old world with our manufactures by reason of- the skill and energy of American tabor and the methods revised by American genius. We run electric roads beside the pyra mids; we furnish harvesters for Rus sia; we build bridges in the Soudan and in Burnish; send locomotives to farthest Manchuria; help Germany to load coal; sell shoes to Australia; scatter sewing machine* everywhere, and our watches keep time on the Danube, the Nile and Orinoco. So sound and solid rock-ribbed are our material and financial conditions, pre dictions can be based upon them. But the minds of men are a shoredess and a chartless sea, and no one can tell when or why pallid fear may brood horribly upon its waves. The nerves of the multitude are a vast electric system which some accident may start Into sparks or even flame and shock and far-reaching utterances. If the American people are prudent, will let their common sense and cold reason govern, they will see that the prosper ity they enjoy is the earnest of more to come, of material achievement beyond the scene of prophecy, which shall glorify humanity." The convention elected as president F. G. Bigelow of Milwaukee, vice pres ident E. F. Swinney of Kansas' City. The old secretary and treasurer were reelected. Retiring president Hardy was presented with a silver cham pagne bowl. Pope Helps Persecuted Christians.

TAILORS JONES m SECOND BUILDING STREET ■1 i "1, 1 A "it& JM ROYAL RING BATTLE Twenty-Round 60 at Thea ter Tonight. PROMISES TO BE A RATTLING BOUT Rival Jockeye Will Go for Six Rounds As a Preliminary and Good Sport Is Expected. Walla Walla spoil* who h>e to see a rattling ring-battle when the oppor tunity affords will have a chance to witness James Lavlnge and "Jack" Dougherty in a 20-round go a* Walla Walla theater tonight after the Jessie Shirley company has conclud ed its evening performance. The bat tle will in no sense be a prize fight, such little affairs being barred by a wicked statute, but will be a scientific boxing match for points. Both men are clever light weights and have a number of ring fights to their credit. As a preliminary a six-round go has been arranged between "Kid" Roes, a Jockey in the employ of the Piedmont stables and Al Parratto, of Louisville, Ky., another wen known jockey. The go promises to be a lively little affair, as considerable rivalry exists between the jockeys who have followed the Northwest circuit this season and each faction is willing to bet dollars to doughnuts on its favorite. The main attraction will be pulled off immediately after the preliminary. Tickets for the events were placed on sale this morning at the box office of the theater. GROWERS OVERLOAD MARKET. Prune Prices Go Down, Though Euro, pesn Crop Shortage Is Reported. Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 18.—The prune market in this county, and in the Willamette valley, continues in had condition, largely due to the growers who continue to force their product on a falling market. Mr. Giles the largest prune dealer on the Paci fic coast, north of California says the buyer la not to be blamed for buying prunes cheap, when the grower is Bt erally throwing them at him for any price named. Mr. Giles said: "Growers seem to forget that the base of supply is changing. A few years ago we expected the large East ern dealer to come here and take oar crop away within thirty days after it was taken from the trees, store it in his warehouse and pack it as he found demand for it. Now the fruit is sup plied from the large packing plants on the coast, ready for the trade, and there is no reason for carrying this stock in the east. "Any grower, needing money can secure it from his banker on his bin of prunes as well as he could on his bin of wheat; therefore the necessi ty to sell is largely imaginary. "If French prunes, are worth 14 cents a pound at Bordeaux, it wouiu seem that 2%. cents for Oregon and Washington prunes is a trine too low; and if the inferior. Turkish prune is worth 5% cents at Budapest, it would seem that local growers have lost their good business sense when they are willing to sell an article much supe rior to the Turkish prune for half the price. "The Austro-Hungary country will market a crop this year of only about 2000 cars, while last season it sold 6000 cars. France has almost a total failure, and England has but little fruit of any kind, and the California crop is said to be nearly 2000 cars short of what was marketed last year." Speed Triai of Cruiser Denver. Washington, Oct. 22 —The official speed trial of the new cruiser Den ver takes place today over the gov ernment course between Cape Ann and Cape Porpoise and the result Is awaited with considerable interest at the navy'department The ship is In command of Captain Silman G. Chase and carries a crew of picked men from the yard of the builders Neafie Levy. The Denver is an unarmored, steel protected, twin cruiser, and one of the smallest fighting vessels in the United States navy. She was dot signed for service In the Philippine Islands. Under the terms of the con tract she is required to develop an average speed of 161-2 knots an hour. "Strange, isn't it," remarked the talkative man, "that oil should be used to calm the troubled waters?" "Huh!" snorted the Kentuckyian, "It's stranger still that anyone should trou ble water."—Philadelphia Ledger. Read the ads in the Statesman. THE EVENING STATESMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1303. LITTLE WHEAT SOLD Four-Fifths of County's Crop in Growers Hands ESTIMATES OF WELL KNOWN Wide Difference Between Buyer and Seller Precludes Any General Movement for Some Time. That four-fifths of Walla Walla county's wheat crop still remains in the hands of the growers, was the opinion advanced by J. C. Scott, buyer for William Jones, this morning. Plac ing the county's crop at 2,000,000 bushels as a high estimate only 400,000 bushels have been disposed of, one third of which has been bought up by mill companies of the county to be ground Into flour and kindred pro ducts. The wide difference between buyer and seller precludes any gen eral movement of the season's crop for some time at least Local quotations have been station ary for the last week, bluestem com manding from 70 to 71 cents on board cars, and club being listed at from 64 to 66 cents on board. While the Sound prices have advanced from a half to a cent, eastern quotations are down again, Chicago dropping away to 78*4 to 79. The West Coast Trade, a wheat authority of the Sound, has the following on the wheat situation this week: The situation continues dull and apathetic. So long as buyers and sel lers continue at the present variance of ideas there is little prospect of any thing doing beyond the present quiet volume of business. Exporters can not raise their limit and purchase, for European account, while holders se cure sufficient encouragement from, the mills and an occasional cargo sold to fill special requirements to ke«» anticipations of better prices buoyed up. At times during the week a cent! or two better than quotable figures of 75c for club and 79c for bluestem, have been paid. Such wheat as the mills want it turned over at full fig ures hut under a free selling move .t {«»-i> ment it i» practically certain that present offerings would be shaded. Comparatively little wheat Is mov ing for the season, the total of local grain necerpts for the week aggregat ing 152 cars or 148,960 busneis wheat, 34 cars barley and 17 cars oats. Practically nothing is doing in export circles, considering the season, though one' large steamer cargo la nearly loaded for Japan, comprising the largest wheat shipment yet made to that destination from the Pacific Northwest. Freights continue nom inal at 17 s 6d, though the influence of bounty-fed French carriers continues to exert a depressing effect. CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. One Man May Be a Cripple for Life Through, Neglecting Injury. Courier-Press: On Tuesday of last week, Samuel McGee, son of L. Me- Gee, was going down the Tukanon grade near Marengo with a load of straw. The load was tipping over and to prevent being buried in' the straw the young man jumped, landing on a pile of rough rooks, breaking one fe ttle bones in the left leg, straining the left ankle, and badly bruising the right foot'"» He was hardly able to move but he managed to crawl back to the road and wait until some ode came to his relief. He was brought home and his injuries were attended to by the family physician and he is getting on nicely now. On October 11th the little son of Mrs. Shoemaker, who resides in Rail road avenue, fell off a fence and broke both bones in his left arm. A physic ian was called who reduced the frac ture. About eight weeks ago John Rock hill wae hitching up. a fractious, mean horse at his ranch, when the animal turned and tried to bite him while he was in a stooping position. Mr. Rock hfli struck at him with his hat and he felt something give way in his light shoulder. Thinking ft only a slight sprain he paid no attention to it until the pain began to become so severe that he could not stand it, he decid ed to come in and see a doctor after six weeks of suffering. An examina tion by Drs. Day and Van Patten dis closed the fact that a bone in the shoulder joint was fractured. Read the ads to the Statesman, CAL GORMAN DISCHARGED.

Hoyt. This morning she was brought from her home at 2710 Elliott avenue to the of fice of Dr. Silliman, in the Arcade building, in the ambulance, where the bone in her leg was set. She was then returned to her home. When found on the street the wo man was in a terrible state. Her pain from the beating and kicking she had received from her husband was over shadowed by the fear that he would return and finish the work of murder that he had so nearly accomplished. Patrolman Lillie went with her to her home, where he stayed a large part of the night, waiting for the return of the brutal husband, and to stay the fears of the frantic woman. Acccording to the story, told the of ficer, she had been working in a res-' taurant on First avenue, and her hus band had called for her to go home after her work for the night was fin ished. While on their way home he 4 accused her of Infidelity, and, in a jeal ous rage, beat and kicked her. When she fell to the sidewalk unconscious, he ran away. The police have been unable to find the man, and if they do, they are afraid the woman will not prosecute him for assault. Patrolman Lillie, who has charge of the case, says the affair lv the most brutal he has ever known since the Bartlett murder case. Tanzer Reveals Formula. Professor Tanzer, the chemist of the Stewart Holmes Drug company, and the man who has been making all the tests for the state and city boards of health that led to the expose of the methods used by the dairymen for pre. serving their milk, proved to the King County Medical society teat night that he could do Just what he has said all along. Before the meeting of physicians Dr. Tanser made a number of prac tical demonstrations. In these tests he proved that with his formula he could detect one part of formaldehyde in 100,000 parts of milk and one part of formaldehyde in 2,458,000 parts of water. Professor Tanzer stated that If one drop of the poisonous drug was placed in a barrel of milk he would be able to discover it. His formula he gave to the physi cians, stating that it had not before been given to anyone. To test the claim of Professor Tanzer, the physi cians put one drop of formaldehyde in a bottle of water. Then a drop of the adulterated water was placed in an other bottle. Beside the two a bottle of pure water was placed. The three bottles were given to Dr. Tanzer, who in the presence of the body made his tests. In a short time he was enabled to name the two bottles that contain ed formaldehyde. The first bottle under the test and the one in which the drop of the pois on had been placed showed the pres ence of a dark pulple color. The sec ond showed a lighter hue and the third no color at all. The doctors questioned the chemist closely, and he answered all inquiries with practical tests. After the demon strations were over, the society gave Dr. Tanzer a vote of thanks for Ms interesting experiments. Professor Tanzer is now experiment ing with three kittens with formalde hyde in milk. He is feeding regularly two of the kittens with milk that con tains a small amount of formaldehyde, about the same proportion that is used by dairymen. These two kittens are graduallly wasting away, while the third, that gets pure milk, is becoming fat, and has always been healthy. In a short time one of the kittens will be killled and its stomach analyzed. Fraternal Building at the World* Fair.

SURVEY OF PLACER FIELDS IN ALASKA Summary of Work Accomplished by the Geological Survey in the Gold Districts of the Yukon. Washington, Oct 23.—Word has xxme to the geological survey that L. d. Prindle has completed the recon naissance survey of the Forty-milt 3old placers and also of the Seventy mile gold placer fields, in Alaska. He is now investigating the auriferom placers of the Birch creek district, where he was joined by Alfred H. Brooks. Together they will make a hasty examination of the newly dis covered gold fields on the lower Tan ma river. Mr. Brooks spent a few days in the Juneau district with Dr. Arthur C. Spencer and Charles W. Wright. The areal mapping of the Juneau special quadrangle has been eomplteed, and the study of the ore bodies has been begun. Dr. Spencer will make a hasty examination of the important gold mines at Seward and Berners bay, on the east coast of the Lynn canal, In the latter part of the season. Mr. Wright, before joining Dr. Spen cer, spent about three weeks in the Porcupine placer district, which lies above the head of Lynn canal, near the international boundary. His re sults, which included a study of the economic conditions, will be prepared for publication In the early part of the winter. Dr. George o. Martin spent the month of June in the Controller bay oil fields, and in August visited the Cook inlet oil fields. Mr: Brooks, who has charge of the Alaskan work, will return to Washington about the end of October, after visiting the two parries engaged in mapping the plac ers of the Nome region. HUNGRY COUGAR GIVES DOGS FIERCE BATTLE Ilwaco, Wash., Oct. 23.—Dan Mark ham, superintendent of the Lebam sal mon hatchery, tells of a fierce fight between a dog and a hungry cougar. "High" Markham and another em ploye at the hatchery had been catch ing fish at the dam during the fore noon and when they returned at noon Sol Markham's dog accompanied them. The dog was prowling about the brush below the dam and along the public road when the cougar at tacked it. The boys heard the dog howling for dear life and ran to see what the commotion meant. In the middle of the road the cougar had the dog down on its back and was trying to put it out of business. They went back to the dam and one started for the house to secure a gun. On the road he met Ed Kfrsch with a rifle. Kirsch ran to the assistance of the dog, but in the meantime the dog had gotten away from the cougar and ran to the dam where the boys were wait ing for the gun. Kirsch had his dog with him and went to the scene of the battle, to look up Mr. Cougar. The animal attacked his cog also aw the dog ran toward his matser with the cougar in close pursuit. Mr. Kirsch fired three shots at the ap proaching cougar the last one break ing his under jaw. Thus being dis abled he was chased up a tree by the two dogs and there a well aimed snot brought him to the ground. The cougar was very large and an old female who had evidently been driven from the hills by the pangs of hunger and smelling where the men had been working at the dam repaired to a safe distance intending to tackiu anything that came in sight. The dog had been in tne middle of the road when the cougar leaped onto his back. It was fearfully torn and lacerated with bites and the claws of tne cou gar, but was not seriously injured, The animal was so hungry that it is thought had a person passed the road while it was lying in wait it would have tacked them.

BIG MONEY FOR ACTORS Bat Host of Them Have Short Seasons SOME OF TlB SAURIES Pill The Hard Work and Privation Reaulr. Ed to win Success On tha Stage. "By Jove!" said the young man as they left the theater, "to think that fellow gets $260 a week for doing that! Here I work for seven hours a day and have been at tt for 10 years and I don't make that much in a month. Its the greatest snap in the world to be an actor. Think of it— $250 a week!" This young man voiced the general opinion of persons who are not fa miliar with the conditions under which actors work. Those who know what they earn and what they have to do to earn It do not deny that they are as a body greatly overpaid; but they also take Into consideration facts which the general public is ivery likely to overlook. Thus the ordinary actor is not employed for more than 35 weeks in the year, and in many cases the 'period is shorter. Indeed there are 'few actors who stand so high in their profession that they can compel man agers to engage them absolutely for a whole season. They are always, unless they are stars, subject to the two weeks notice clause. That means that in case of the fail ure of a play the company can be dis charged by giving the members two weeks' notice, or paying salaries for that time. This provision is, of course, necessary for theatrical managers who might be rumed by being compelled to carry an expensive company over the country for a whole season when the business was poor. 1 Then the demand for certain kinds of actors is very great. Young men of good presence to play leading roles are not numerous, nor are there enough women with notable charms of manner and personality to supply the immense demand that has grown up during recent years for actresses. Only the popular players receive the large salaries that reward the lucky members of tne profession. The great rank and file must live with the great est prudence to get along at all on what they are able to earn. The women stars are the most prof itable today, and by that is meant the women who are really stars in the old fashioned sense of the word. Wo men like Maude Adams, Mrs. Carter, Minnie Flake, Annie Russell, Julia Marlowe, Mrs. Langtry, Blanche Bates, and Henriettta Crosman are sure of large profits, whatever their plays may be. One year their earnings may be $15,000 and the next twice that sum; but they are in any case beyond' the chance of having their careers sud denly ended because their plays fail. The two most popular actresses in this country are Maude Adams and Mrs. Leslie Carter, and their earnings during the past five years have been enormous. Mrs. Carter is under sal ary to David Belasco, just as Maude Adams is to Charles Frohman, and in addition to their fixer salaries they re ceive a percentage. Viola Allen, when she became a star with the Liebler' company was not looked, upon by other managers as an especially promising proposition. She had a larger degree of confidence in herself than the managers had in her, for by her contract with the Lieblers she arranged for a salary of only $100 a week; but she got a very large per cent of the profits. Every play she appeared in was a success and out of "The Christian" alone she earned more than $150,000. "In the Palace of the King,' "The Eternal City" and "The Hunchback" were all immensely profitable for her Now she Is so well established that she can act whatever she wants to, and In her revival of 'Twelfth Night" this year she is to finance her own company and be her own manager. Mrs. Carter, unlike Miss Allen, does not take a large percentage and a small salary. She now gets from Da vid Belasco $1,400 a week and a share of the profits—naturally no larger share, as her manager takes on him self the financial burden of the per formances in which she appears. The Carter plays hare been so successful a small share of the profits represents a large weekly income. Maude Adams has probably never cleared less than $80,000 a year since her first season in "The Little Minis ter.'" By her contract with Charles Frohman she gets a fixed salary of $500 a week and about 60 per cent of the profits. And any other manager would be glad to take the contract off Mr. Frohmen's bands. Miss Adam* has an enormous fol lowing throughout the country, and even in a little play like "Quality Street," which la aa inexpensive pro duction her business at tha Knicker bocker theatre in this city kept up an average of $19,000 a weak for five weeks. Mrs. Carter usually has the assistance of aa elaborate production, Annie Russell, another of Charles Prohman's stars, has a salary of $600 a week and a small share in the prof its Bthel Barrymore, who during her first years as a star actor for Mr. Proa man for only $80 a week, now has a salary of $800 and a small percentage. In these cases, Mr. Frohmah, of course, takes all the risks, secures the plays and produces them, and the actress posing as the star of the com pany has only to draw her salary. 1 Jons Marlow, Lily Langtry, Hen rietta Croeman, Mrs. risks and BSste De Wolfe- are their own managere, putting up their own' money and en gaging some person to look after their business Interests. Mrs. Langtry, for instance, pays her own company, pro duces the play—that t» to say, she buys scenery and costumes —and gives half her progts to the syndicate for booking her tour and running the business end of her enterprises. The managers supply her business staff, press agent, etc., which they can well kfford to do, besides booking her tour. Miss Marlowe, who the producer of her own plays, Is In partnership with Charles Dillingham, who has also the management of Maxine El liott and Millie James, stars differing considerably In glory from Miss Mar lowe. Mrs. Flske selects her plays, hires her company, puts up whatever the necessary amount of money may be, and, like the other actresses men tioned, takes all the profits. Henrietta Grossman who follows the same arrangement, does not even have to hire a manager, since her hus band acts for her. Elsie De Wolfe in her attempts to be a star is her own capitalist and takes all the profits. Among the women who are not stars the compensation is almost as great as it for those whose names are on the three-sheets, although they never under any circumstances get any share of the profits. Margaret Anglin is said to get the largest sal ary ever paid to a leading woman of the Empire theatre, and that is $300 a week. Miss Anglin is soon to be a star, and it is doubtful if her earnings next year, when she is to begin her career, will be much larger for the first year anyhow. Fay Davis, who has just made her first stellar appearance In "Lady Rose's Daughter,' does not now re ceive as much as Miss Anglin, who still Is in the rank of the leading wo man. Her contract Is Bald to call for only $175 and a small percentage—the latter added to emphasize cue splen dors of stardom. Margaret Dade, who is now the leading actress in John Drew's company, a post very much in demand always, as Maude Adams made her reputation there, gets $90, while Ira Conquest, an actress of more experience, who once had the pace before Miss Dale, receives when she appears in the Frohman compa nies, $125 a week. Jessie Busley is m receipt of a sal ary of $100 from Mr. Froham, who has told her that she may never ex pect any more if she acts with him the rest of her life, but he has promised her emplayment always at that fig ure. Miss Busley accepted this offer as a kind of an annuity and every year finds her with Mr. -Frohman. Hida Spong got as leading woman of the Daly theatre during her last year, there $175 a week, but it Is doubtful if she could command that salary now, as she most unwisely allowed herself to grow stout and ma tronly. Bessie Tyree got for a short time $250 a week. It happened that she has the lease of the Madison Square theatre, for which she had no possible use, as her play had been a complete failure. Kirke La Shelle wanted theatre in which to give "The Earl of Pawtucket." "You may have my theatre," "Miss Tyree said, 'but you must take me along with it. And I cost $250 a week." Thus it happened for several months Miss Tyree drew the large salary of $250. But half of that sum 1b in ex cess of what she customarily re ceived. Katharine Gray gets $125 for her participation in melodramatic plays, and, although she is so much better in sympathetic parts that do not re quire her to wear a sunbonnet, she re ceives the same reward. Rose Coug lan, although she has ceased to be a I star, is always able to command $250 1 a week. W. H. Crane, Nat Goodwin and E. H. Southern are really their own man agers although their tours are directed by some managers who gets,a small percentage of the -tsceiyes. J. K. Hackett and Richard Mansfield are openly their own managers, and pay no percentages, but a salary, to the business managers that they hire. Upgarson—l give it up. I'm no good at conundrums.

The court suspended sentence, however, during' the good behavior of the defendant, and allowed him to go upon his own recognizance. In passing sentence Judge Fits Ger ald viewed the sentiment of the offi cers in the following words: Statement by the Court "Under the evidence in the case it is my, duty to find the defendant guilty.' The law provides that it shall be unlawful to use any foul hook,-or any other device for booking salmon. It also prohibits the catching of gra vid or spawn! ling salmon at any time or in any manner. The run of fish in the Umatilla river at the present time is steel-head salmon, which are there for the purpose of spawning, and therefore come under the defini tion of gravis or spawning salmon, the taking of which is absolutely pro hlbeted by law. '"The penalty In these cases is quite severe, the fine being not less than $50 nor more than $1,000 and costs of the action, or by imprisonment in the county jail not less than 25 days, nor more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment. Suspends Sentence. "For a young man in your condi tion this is a severe punishment, and one that it is the duty of the court to Impose, if judgment is found at this time, but in view of the recommenda tions of the prosecuting attorney and the game warden, and believing that this will be a lasting lesson to you, I wflU suspend the passing of sentence at this time and allow you to go on your own recognizance during good behavior.

LICENSES TO SOAR. Spokane Theaters to Make Saloon* Pay $1000. Spokane, Oct. 23. —Councilman Burch of the Fourth; ward has pre pared an ordinance that will be intro duced at the meeting of the city coun cil to increase the yearly saloon li cense from 3500 to. $1000. Inasmuch as there are over 130 saloons in the city the Increased rev enue to the. city, If the ordinance pass es will amount to approximately $70,- --000 a year. Persons acquainted with, the plan for the new ordinance say It is the outcome of long deliberation among the city officials as to a means for aid ing the finances of the city during the coming year. It was agreed that this is one of the best methods that could be devised and that heretofore the license fee in Spokane has been en tirely too small. la support of the claim that Spo kane saloons are not paying enough for the privilege to do business it ts pointed out by the officials that Seat tle now has a $1000 license, and that the number of Saloons in the city has not decreased any since the heavier license has been collected. The same conditions prevail in Minneapolis. In some of the smaller cities in this Btate it is said the license is $1200 per year. As far as known, the present cost of a license, the high license advocates claim, in Spokane is the lowest in any city in the state. For some weeks the feeling has been growing among the city councilmen that the license rate was too small and city hall office holders expressed the belief that the new ordinance will pass the council. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. John Kroeger's Verdict Against the Seattle Electric Company. John Kroeger, was this, morning awarded a verdict of $20,000 damages against the Seattle Electric company by a jury in Judge Albertson's divis ion of the superior court, says the Times. This verdict is believed to be the largest ever rendered against the company for personal injuries that did not result in death. Though only ten members' of a jury are're quired to agree in a civil suit the ver dict in this case was unanimous. The accident occurred on the morn ing of April 18, 1902, in the barns of the company at Fifth avenue and Pine street. At the trial the plaintiff and his witnesses testified that as he was entering the car while it stood in the barn it was started without warning and he was squeezed between the car and the barn door. His shoulder was fractured and his back and sides crushed in a manner that would pre- T ent his ever earning Jiis living by Manual labor. Up to the time of the accident he had been a common labor er. W 1 I The defense was made on "the i Pound that Kroeger had no right: to board the car while it was in the tarn. The testimony of the plaintffs Witness, however, evidently convinced *c jury that on this line the practice tad become a custom in which the company had acquiesced. The case has twice before been jrted- On the first trial, which was n November, 1902, after all the evi nce had been taken, the case was I pissed on plaintiff's motion.

GOOD DAY S RACING Another Big Crowd at fair Grounds Today. major* del took driving race 2:17 Pace Brought Out a Big Field- Harry Hurst Haa Two Heats to His Credit. That the Walla Walla public is a lover of horse flesh is seen by the large crowds that have attended tie races at the fair grounds every day this week. While today's attendance is way shy of yesterday's there is a crowd estimated at .1500 attending the races this afternoon and witnessing some fine sport. The gentlemen's driving race proved to be a pretty event, Dr. Nelmß driving his Major Del, winning in two heats from John ny, driven and owned by Frank Bnnis. Homre, owned and driven by Archie Henderson showed excellent speed, but was wild and broke frequently which greatly lessened his chances of winning the race. Major Del took the first heat in 2:42. Johnny broke badly at the first turn but settled down on the back stretch and trotted a pretty race with Homer a close third. In the second heat Del went off his feet on the back stretch, giving Johnny a long enough lead to come under the wire an easy winner, Del second and Homer third. The third heat went to Del after a pretty race clear around thje track, Johnny second and Homer third. Time 2:33%. The 2:17 pace brought out nearly an the fast ones, Harry Hurst, Portia Knight, Polka Dot, and Prince Tom. Portia Knight took the first heat in a driving finish from Vision, Harry Hurst, third. Time 2:10%. Harry Hurst driven by Green showed won derful speed in the second and third heats winning both in 2:17 and 2:16% with Vision second in both heats. Vision surprised the talent in the fourth by shooting undo* the wire by a length winning from Portia Knight with Harry Hurst third. Time 2:18. The last heat had not been run' at I the time of going to press. WARSHIPS -NOT SATISFACTORY. Philippine Government Declines to Accept Ships Built In Japan —Bribery Charged. Washington, Oct. 23.—Corruption and possibly bribery in connection with the construction' of the five Phil ippine coast guard vessels by the Uraga Dock company of Uraga, Japan, have been severely dealt with by the Philippine government. Henry D. Rose, government inspector, has been dismissed and the ships refected as unsatisfactory, and as a result the contracting firm is reported to have collapsed. According to stories told by offi cials recently returned from the Phil ippines—no official reports have been received yet—geisha girls played an Important part In blinding the repre sentative of the Philippine govern ment to the use of material far Infe rior to that called for in the speci fications.
