STILL IN THE WOODS
Asa Thompson Will Not Be
ReinStated.
so SAYS SECRETARY HITCHCOCK
Other CHARGES of Grave Nature
Have Been Filed With the
Secretary.
so SAYS SECRETARY HITCHCOCK

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA
Since the acquittal Of Asa B. Thomp-
son. receiver of the La Grande lane
office. secretary Hitchcock has re-
ceived between 80 and 40 affidavits
charging Thompson with various
forms of misdeeds that are alleged tC
have taken place in the short time he
has been in office. These charges, ac-
cording to Secretary Hitchcock, have
been investigated ana reported upon
by Inspector Greene, and are of such
seriousness as to justify him in re-
fusing to reinstate Thompson. just
what the charges are cannot be learn
ed. further than they are separate
and distinct from the charges which
were reviewed in the court a short
time ago.
The Thompson affair is complicated
to some extent, in that it involves
Special Agent Thomas McNutt, of In
diana, who was some time ago assign
ed to assist Inspector Greene in work.
ing up the case against Thompson
McNutt was suspended two days ago
by order of Secretary Hitchcock and
it is stated at the department that his
dismissal is to follow as soon as a full
report on his case is received by mail
After Greene had passed the Thomp-
son case UP to the courts, he turned
on McNutt made an investigation
into the methods by which he had
been operating in the La Grande land
district, and promptly wired Score
tary Hitchcock stating McNutt had
himself become seriously involved IN
the scandals that had been unearthed
at La Grande. 1t was absolutely on
Greene's statement that McNutt was
SUSPENDED. 1t is on his showing that
the statement is now made that Nc
Mutt Will not only be dismissed but
will probably be proceeded against in
the courts.

ADJUSTMENTS
Hooking for a Wife"

In this date and age Of the world
people-that is, most peOple-gO to
the theater to be amused after hard
days work. While some people prefer
drama, the greater part would rather
laugh than cry. This has been proven
by the great success of musical come
dies during the past season. On De-
cenber II at the Walla Walla theater
will be seen one of the best of this
acts, called Looking for a Wife,"
This attra ctiOn comes to this city en-
dorsed by both press and public. The
company is a good one and includes
some of the best known people on the
comedy stage. The cast is a large one,
containing a stOtal of 25 people. Spe
cial scenery and effects are carried by
the company for the entire prOduc-
ton. The costumes are novel and
beautiful and it is the claim of the
management that they have the clev-
crest comedians and the prettiest girls
of all companies on the road. Some Of
the latest musical hits are introduced
and the play is interSpersed through
out with new songs and clever dances.
Three solid hours of music and fun is
assured to all who see Looking for
Wife"

Mystery Surrounds the Charges.

A. great tir of mystery surrounds the
charges against Thompson, as we'll as
those against McNutt. Neither OF the
Oregon senators has. been able 10
learn from Secretary Hitchcock what
new charges have been brought against
THOMPSON beyond the assurance that
they are sufficient to warrant MS ols-
missal, and Senator Beverages Secre-
tary, who tried to ascertain the nature
of the charges against McNutt, who
was Amounted on Beveridge's recon-
mendation, was shortly told that If
the senator wanted to know about the
charges he must ask in person.
The inference given is that the
charges recently filed allege that
Thampson had knowledge of the fact
that the many entries being made in
his district were fraudulent in char
acter. and he failed to act in accord
ance with the law. The charge against
McNutt is supposed to be in the main
that he connived with men making
fraudulent entries especially those
who testified against Thompson, and
failed to institute proceedings against
those men.
Secretary Hitchcock has not receiv-
ed the mail report which has been
forwarded to him by Special Inspector
Greene, reviewing the trial of Thomp-
son, or the case of McNutt, and he will
defer definite action until those re-
ports are received. The department,
trial Of Thompson was Quashed, and
had it been fair and impartial a con-
viction would have followed This
opinion, however, was based solely
upon Geographic reports that have
been made by Greene.

his tastes in this direction. Being
naturally devoted to reading and
studving. he does not allow his taste
for sport to interfere, and books are
always welcome presents for him. 1t
is not known just what Miss Alice
Roosevelt is to receive, but it was no
ticed that Mrs. Roosevelt, during her
late visit to New York, was a visitor
at large Broadway jewelry estab-
lishment.
Mrs. Roosevelt is an exquisite
needle woman and is also an adept in
fashioning vari-colored embroiderles
She has a store of daintily initiated
handkerchiefs, filmy lace collars and
little articles whose value will be
greatly enhanced by the fact that the
work is the product of her skillful
fingers. During the present week a
number of packages will be despatched
by Mrs Roosevelt to friends abroad or
in distant parts of the United States
They will be carefully timed to reach
their destination at the opportune mo-
ment.
Following the established precedent
the cabinet women will present Mrs.
Roosevelt with a handsome gift. None
of the ladies feel free to disclose its
beautiful and costly The members of
the cabinet will probably make indi-
yidual gifts to the president.

Christmas Will Be Observed
at the White House.
PRES. AND FAMILY GETTING READY
Many Presents for the Children Have
Already Been Purchased by the
President and His Wife.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 14.-At
the White House, as in nearly all the
homes throughout the land, the pr1n-
cipaI theme of interest is the selection
of Christmas gifts and the preparation
for the holidays. President Roosevelt
believes in keeping the holiday In the
good. old fashioned way and as con-
sequence Christmas is always joyous
occasion for all the members of his
family 1t is strictly a family celebra-
ton The children are home from
school and for two weeks the executive
mansion resounds with their shouts of
laughter the president himself often
taking part in their rOmps.
OF course. the strictest secrecy is
maintained as to what the Roosevelt
children are likely to find in their
stockings Christmas morning, but the
tastes of the youngsters are so we'll
known that it is not difficult to guess
the nature of the gifts they are likely
to receive from their parents. Miss
Ethel has not yet OutgroWn her doll
family of make-be believes viii probably
delight her eyes Christmas morning.
Little Quintin, also, will be the re-
cipient of a variety of toys and play
things. among them a number of the
mechanical sort, of which he is es
pecially fond. Archibald scorns such
knickknacks. and Christmas is, not
Christmas to him unless he finds some
thing alive among his presents. He
has expressed desire, it is said for
bear or an alligator, but it is hardly
likely that these additions viii be made
to his menagerie which already in
cludes ponies, dogs, sheep and a varie-
ty of other pets.

LITTLE EVA CAN ACT IN OREGON
Child Labor Commission Will Not In

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 14.-Stage
children will not be interfered with
in Oregon by the child labor commits
sion except when child participates
in some act which may be injurious to
it's morals or physical nature
Fearing that the child labor law
would not stand the test if brought in
to the courts as regards children en-
ployed on the stage, the commission
ers are willing to remain passive when
juveniles are employed in the better
class of theaterS.
Such was the outcome of the. con-
ference held this morning between the
child labor commission and the Man.
ayers Mutual Aid association.
In the discussion it developed that
there was no disposition on the part
of the managers to do anything that
would conflict with what the commits
sion holds would be a violation of its
law

Little Eva" for Instance.

According to the law no child under
16 years of age can work at night, thus
applying to the Juveniles employed in
theatrical productions. A list of at
fractions was called off by various
theater managers, who We're present
to show that a number of the best en-
tertainments on the road would be pre-
vented from appearing in Portland
theaters or any other town in Oregon
One instance cited was that no Uncle
Toms Cabin company could appear
in this state unless Little Eva was
old enough to be a mother.
