The Charm Worked Too Well.
A story of witchcraft in East Africa
was told at meeting of the Folklore
Society by Robert Webb. A man ap-
piled to a witch doctor for a powerful
charm to kill an enemy. He was given
a parcel to bury in the path down
which the victim was to walk. To
test its efficiency the man buried it
just outside the door of the witch
doctors hut. A female slave Of the
magician was the first to leave the
hut. and on passing the spot fell dead.
The witch doctor sued his client for
the valued Of the dead slave. and the
case was tried before the native
courts.

BARRY AND WEDAY BOTH IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION
FOR THEIR CONTEST THIS ENENING-FIFTEEN
ROUNDS FOR EIGHTY PER CENT OF THE BOX
OFFICE RECEIPTS-A LIVELY FIGHT EXPECTED.

Both of the fighters who are to meet
this evening at the Orpheum declare
themselves in the pink of condition,
and both certainly appear to be so.
Weday has been training at the beach,
while Barry has been at Billy Woods
gymnasium. Betting is about even,
with apparently few bets placed. While
Weday is well known and has plenty Of
warm supporters, Barry is an unknown
quantity locally. He is formidable
looking enough, however, and has
enough reputation to Make Weday's
admirers wary of opposing him with
their money.
The knowing ones say that there will
have to be a lot of fighting before either
man is whipped, if at all. Weday's
staying powers are we'll known locally
and it is admitted that he can stand
wonderful amount of punishment. on
the other hand Barry's admirers say

OBJECTIONS
WOULD NOT STAND FOR ANY
INTERFERENCE WITH FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM.

Efforts by Surveyor Wall to secure
the use of the fire and police alarm
system in connection with the govern
ment time" service brought to notice
a remarkable carefulness on the part of
the Board of Underwriters i'm preserv-
ing their rights Though all the SER
vice asked by the government was to
allow its daily noon signal to be auto
matically sent over the wires, the UNI
derwriters refused to agree to it. The
signal might possibly come when there
was an alarm some day, ana it would
be an interruption.
1T is not likely that such a thing
would happen once 81 thousand
years" said Wall "and If it did there
would be little or no interruption The
fire signal is given three times, and
supposing such a thing to occur as that
there was an alarm at exactly noon
when the time signal is given, only one
of the three alarms would be affected,
and that only very slightly. l pointed
this out to the underwriters, but they
declined to consent to any chance of in
terruption at all and under these cir
cumstances the idea was abandoned
Il have found that our present sys-
tenn is very accurate of its kind. The
man who blows the whistle at the Ho-
nolulu Planning Mill is very careful and
punctuaL / have tested him many
times But the system is not as good
as time ball, operating automatical-
Iy and visible from all points"

SPECIMEN OF
A RARE MINERAL
Continued from Page IL

The mineral as it comes from the
mine is not unlike in general appear
ance to soapstone, but of much heavier
specific gravity. Assays have shown
it contains at least dozen known
minerals and some unknown mineral
or quality which gives it it's surprising
characteristics.
Among these characteristics is one
that when scratched with anything else
a piece of wood, or metal it gives forth
light, but without heat, it is said. 1t
gives forth the light under water or in
the air While somewhat similar in
this respect to phosphorus, it is diff
ferent in every other respect, and the
light given out is unlike that given out
by phosphorus.
Assays have been made at Stanford
and other places, but without definite
results as to the material or quality
that gives it its peculiar characteristics
Samples have been sent to Paris to the
discoverer Of Radium, as 1t is thought
possible that that newly discovered
mineral may be a component part Of
this. If it Is, it is believed the sub
stance will be of immense value. The
substance, as it comes from the mine
carries from SIC to SIS a ton in gold,
with some silver, copper, uranium and
other metals.

SAILOR DIES
OF INJURIES
MAN WHO FELL INTO HOLD OF
SHIP GEORGE CURTIS YESTER-
DAY EXPIRED AT HOSPITAL.

Charles Olson the sailor who was in
jured yesterday morning by falling
down the hatch into the hold of the
ship George Curtis died of his injuries
early this morning at the Queens Hos
pital.
1t appears that the accident so far
as the facts at hand indicate, was due
to his'own carelessness. He was work.
ing tween decks on the vessel. owing
to there being shower in progress,
the matches were covered, causing the
hull Of the vessel to be darkened. Oh
son had lighted lantern to guide him
but he evidently miscaIculated the dis
lance and stepped down the hatch. He
fell a distance of about 10 to Is feet
into the lower hold, striking on some
cases Of Kerosene. He sustained a
number Of injuries. He was about 50
years of age.

THREW UP THE SPONGE.
"kid" Parker Won the Boxing Contest
Last Night.

Kid Parker and Jack Donnelly put
up the best boxing bout ever seen In
Walla Walla at the athletic club last
night. Although only encouraged by a
very small audience both men were
full of ginger and went at It for bust
ness from the first. Every one Of the
five rounds was a lively one Parker
was in better condition and this be-
gan to tell after the first round. Ref
cree c. Vanderberg was kept busy
separating the frequent clinches.
DOnnelly although clearly bested stood
his punishment grittily and only quit
when his seconds threw up the sponge
in the fifth round.
At the close of the encounter Barney
Mullan stepped into the ring and chal-
lenged the winner. 1t is probable that
match will be arranged between
these two fighters or between Parker
and Perry Queenan see time soon.

Opposes instructions.

Some of the county conventions
are being held very early in July, and
in my judgment these counties should
establish a precedent for all that are
to follow by avoiding all instructions
on candidates.
The state committee is receiving
,etters from all parts of Washington
hat show the chances for democratic
support are growing brighter every
lay. The republican dissa tisfactiOn
has not been allayed and democratic
know of a county where we have not
gained ground. In such circumstances
we most certainly must be careful to
keep the confidence we now enjoy.
There is a lesson to be drawn from
the republican state convention that
we cannot fail to observe. The great
protest that has arisen throughout the
state has been over railroad domina-
ton, and this was gained through con-
troll of the steering committees, which
in turn had been selected as a result
of local candidates. The democratic
party must not fall into a similar
error

CHAIRMAN OPPOSED TO DELE.
GATES TO STATE CONVENTION
BEING INSTRUCTED.
Party Should Profit by the Mistakes
Made by the Republicans of
Washington.

SEATTLE, Wash, June GA strong
recommendation that democratic coun-
ty conventions omit all endorsements
of candidates is made by State Chair
Goodwin that the county gatherings
should send delegates to the state con-
vention entirely free to act as their
best Judgment dictates. Friendship for
local candidates is all we'll enough in
it's way, he says, but Mr.. Goodwin
warns the democratic leaders against
the danger of delegations tied up by
instructions and managed by a steer
ing committee.
THE democratic state convention
should make a calm and deliberate
canvass of the field and nominate only
those men who it finds are not only
capable of filing the offices, but also
are strong vote getters," said Mr..
Goodwin yesterday.
1T is absolutely impossible to take
an impartial view of things and to
nominate a ticket solely on the basis
of worth of candidates and to take
into consideration geographical lines
when delegations go to the state con-
vention tied up to one man or to set
OF men. Naturally their steering COM
mittees are working at all times to
nominate the man whom their county
convention has endorsed. The fitness
of other candidates, or even of their
own. is a secondary consideration, and
it really matters little to a steering
committee whether geogra phical lines
have been considered.
