HOBOES WERE FOILED.
In Their Plot to Rob Home Of Charles
Phillips.

Last night as Charles Phillips, pro-
| prietor of Dreamland park, came
| home from town he met his family in
a state Of perturbation caused b. the
visit in his absence of two thieves to
his house. The robbers probably
thought that there was some money
in the house from the evenings park
receipts and desired to annex them
selves thereto. Mrs. Phillips answer
ed a knock at the door. When she
heard the mumbled explanation Of the
hobos, she quickly OWNED the inten-
ton Of their visit and promptly closed
the door, calling for one of her sons
to bring revolver. The wOuld-be
thieves did not appear to like their
reception and made hasty retreat to-
ward tall timber. When Mr.. Phillips
arrived home he made search of
the premises but no hobOs were in
sight
Mr.. Phillips has been lately appoint
ed a special policeman by the city of
Walla Walla and has authority to ar
rest suspicious or unruly people. He
states that any one found attempting
to rob his house will be dealt with in
a way that they will not remember
with any degree of pleasure. His wife

IA new FRUIT FIRM
White Bros, of Lewiston,
to Open Branch Here
TO HANDLE PRUNES AND APPLES
Packing House Will Be Opened Short
iy in WaIa Wa,ia-May Be
Permanent.

White Brothers, fruit and vegetable
dealers of Lewiston, Idaho, are pre-
pairing to open a packing house in this
city, in time to handle the apple and
prune crop this fall. In fact the ar
rangements have been perfected fol-
he appearance Of the new concern
and the necessary supplies are being
sent 10 this city. White Brothers are
he best known fruit dealers in the
Palouse country, and have a strong
financial standing. They have been
operating a large business at Lew
stCn. handling most Of the prOducJs
If the Snake river valley.
Last year Mr.. White, one of the
managers, came to this county and
packed several heavy shipments il
he orchards near Prescott. The ven
ture proved so successful that an en-
arged plan was developed this year
md a packing house will be opened
with a force sufficient to handle a con-
siderable share of the entire business
of the city. 1t is proposed to handle
but prunes and apples this year while
n the future it may be necessary to
enlarge the scope Of the business.
1t is said that White Bros. have
.uilt up a business in the East that
they cannot now supply, with the pro
ducts of Snake river valley and the
Palouse hills. The demand grew so
fast that the firm had to look else
where for supplies, and the fame Of
the Walla Walla red apple and lusc-
ious prune had been sung into the
ears of the managers so long that an
effort was at once determined upon
n the hope of securing fOothOld in
the garden spot Of the northwest.
The first move last year was on
small scale, this year it will be great
ly Increased and later it may develop
into a really permanent adjunct to
the business interests of Walla Walla
and her hundreds of fruit growers
and gardeners.
1t is impossible to give details Of
the new venture. as the management
desires to close up some business ar
before giving out facts as
% location and manager, but it is I'M
1erstood that an nffOrt is being made
o secure splec1i1 location and fit up
we'll for the prOpOS d work.

VETERANS TO LIVE IN
TENTS TEMPORARILY
Crowded Condition of Soldiers Home
Vexing Question.

Olympia, July 23.-The state board
of control has been considering for
the past week or more what could be
done to relieve the crowded situation
at the Soldiers home at Orting Last
week, superintendent ]. H. Coffman,
of the home, reported to the board
that the institution is SO crowded, it
is impossible under present conditions
to receive any more applicants for
admission until the new building for
which plans are now being drawn, is
completed.
1t was thought for time that vet
Grams would have to be turned away
The result, however, of the consulta
ton of the superintendent and the
board of control has been to decide to
provide temporary quarters by means
of tents until the new building, which
will comprise kitchen, dining room
and dormitory is completed in the fall
The governor and board of control
both approve of this plan and the SUI
perintendent will proceed at once to
make the necessary provisions that
no applicants entitled to admission
need to be turned away.

SCHOOL REPORTS

ent Bryan Along This Line.

ed about this time, but two districts

anu other facts will be incorporated
III &he report when it is finally made
APP.
In asking for the annual reports this
wear State Superintendent Bryan made
a nnmber of suggestions as to the pre-
variation He is especially particular
an the question Of attendance and
90 mDnishes the county superlntend-
ents that a false report will cost the
offender his certificate and therefore
his Job. The principal difficulties in
the reports arise out of TWO cOndl-
lions. the attendance Of pupils in one
district who live in another and the
accordance Of attendance at private
schools in which the work is not on
"A par with state schools.
The appropriations are based upon
she records Of days attendance, and
PAS each district is DESTROYS OF having
as good a showing as possible, II oc-
caSjOnally happens that point is
stretched.
The state superintendent now re-
guires that the districts shall be very
particular in reporting attendance
claimed from other districts. If the
clerk of one district. say Fern Hill
makes at the beginning of the year a
demand for the attendance Of all pu-
oils attending in Tacoma, the cerk of
this district must report to the clerk
at Fern Hill concerning all such at
tendance and must not give this dis
trict the credit for it.
4 district draws money for attend
ance at a private school within its
airnits. but the state superintendent
requires that the course Of study IL
such private school shall be practic
ally the same as in the public schools
These schools shall report their at
tendance to the clerk of the distric
in which they are located. but it is The
business of the superintendent to as
certain that the report as to scholar
ship and attendance is correct. If h'
makes a false report, he is liable TO
the loss of his position. just as an.
teacher who wilfully falsifes a repor
may lose his certificate. The effect o
this attitude of the state superintend
ent will be to cause a more careful
investigation of the character of tn
work done by the private schools.

Will HELP GET
APPROPRIATIONS

II Congressman McCleary of Mime
sofa can do it Hawaii will get the big
appropriations she wants for naval and
army improvements. Representative
McCleary spent the entire day previous
to his departure on an inspection of the
naval station site at Pearl Harbor and
in an investigation of the needs of the
army here. He was taken about by
Major Mcclellan on Thursday and
showed also the site of the fortifica-
tons which the War Department in
tends to build in Hawaii. A visit to
the Kahauki site for the military
camp was also made.
In the afternoon Congressman Nc
Cleary visited Pearl Harbor in compa-
ny with Secretary Carter, Walter Dill
bingham and A. l.. c. Atkinson. The
naval launch was placed at the dis
posal of the party by Captain Rod
man who was himself unable to go.
Mr.. McCleary also expressed himself
very forcibly as to the needs of Hawaii,
and was much impressed with the need
of coast defenses for Oahu, which is

COURT DIES.
WITH HONOR
The Final Session
Of Fire Claims
Commission.

All of the members Of the Fire
Claims Commission were present at
meeting of that body held in the jude
building yesterday morning which
proved to be the last. The court, aftei
transacting some winding up details
of business, adjourned sine die. 1t was
created by an Act of the Legislature oil
1901 Governor Dole constituting it by
the following appointments:
+. w. Macfarlane. chairman; +. j.
Tesla, A. N. Kepoikai, ]. G. Pratt and
A. c. Lovekin. The Commission APP
pointed j. NJ. Riggs as its secretary
who performed his duties in a very
methodical manner. More than 67OC
claims for damages in property lost In
the sanitary fires of 1899 and 1900 were
heard and adjudicated.
The awards amounted to s1,47 ,l13
Ten per cent of this amount was paid
out OF funds accruing mainly by the
refund of interest by the United States
Government on the Hawaiian national
debt at annexation. which the Legis-
lature devoted to that purpose, a def
cheney of that percentage being sup
piled from the Territorial treasury. This
instalnient left a balance of 81, 1926, S55.7 20
to be paid. For its liquidation the
United States Congress appropriated
81. 100000 in cash and authorized the
Government Of Hawaii to issue bonds
for the remaining amount, in round
figures, of $685. 00 OF this fire claims
bond issue there had been sold, up to
10 81 - -.
yesterday, $241,000, leaving yet to be
disposed of $4,000 belonging to claim
ants.
At the closing meeting a resolution
was adopted instructing Secretary
Riggs to turn over the archives of the
Commission to the Secretary of the
Territory. 1t was also decided and at
once carried out, to turn into the
Treasury, as a Government realization,
the fun dof $5O77,25 collected in fees
from attorneys for certificates Of a
ward. There was fight in the courts,
1t will be remembered, against the pay
ment of fees after some had been paid
under protest. Judge Gear decided in
effect that the Commission had no au-
thority to tax fees, but also that 1t was
not bound to furnish transcripts of
IF the secretary furnish
ed such he might make a charge as
perquisite to himself for the service.
This put the attorneys who had paid
fees in a box when the United States
Treasury agent came here to pay the
awards. They could not get the fees
back without surrendering the certfi-
Gates in their custody, and il they
did this they could not collect their
awards without presenting the certifi-
Gates. Hence the Government comes in
for the snug realization Of more than
five thousand dollars.
