ISSUANCE OF BOGUS CHECKS
AND MISUSE OF FUNDS
THE CHARGE.
Former Walla Wallan Will Be Tried
by Officers Of the United
States Army

The secretary of war has forwarded
To the commander of the department
of the Columbia papers in the case of
Major Harry l.. Rees. late paymaster OF
that department. Rees will be court
martialed on a charge of issuing bogus
checks and misappropriating funds.
Though suspended from duty as pay
master of the department of the CO.
lumbia a month ago, Major Rees has
not as yet been arrested. This formal
lty will be necessary. however. before
he can be brought to face a court mar
tial
Trouble came to Major Rees because
of the complaint of brother officers that
he had issued checks on a bank in
which he had no money on deposit.
'1rregularity in accounts" was the
statement made at the time of his sus-
pension. 1t was not thought by the
friends of the major that he would be
court martaled. and it has been stoutly
maintained that he had not wrongfully
appropriated government money.
The date of the intended court mar
tial is not shown. but it will probably
take place at Vancouver Barracks.
headquarters for the department of
the Columbia.
knowing that his case was being in
vestigated Major Rees has remained
within the jurisdiction of the depart
ment and no fear is entertained by
government officials that he will at
tempt to evade responsibility for his
actions.
Major Rees is we'll known in Walla
Walla. He was appointed from civil
life at the close of the Spanish-Am-
erican war .o.

COUNCIL HAD AN INTERESTING
DEBATE OVER THE REPEAL
OF ORDINANCE.
PaIouse Street Trouble Has Not Vet
Been Adjusted-Curbns Is
Reported Bad.

The feature of the city council meet
ing last night was the animated dis
cussion that was precipitated when the
council took up an ordinance TO re-
peal the one passed at the last session
providing certain regulations to be
complied with by persons applying for
licenses to sell liquor in the city. This
requirement was that any person APP
plying for a license should first OBJ
tain the consent of ma jOrty of the
owners of property within $50 feet OF
the place where it was intended to
open the drinking place.
City Attorney Blandford stated to
the council that under the provisions
of the ordinance it made it unlawful
for the present saloon keepers to con-
duct their business within five days
after the ordinance became Il law un-
less the permission of the property
owners be secured. Unless the ordl-
nance was repealed it would devOlve
upon himself and Chief of Police
Brown to enforce the ordinance and
it would cause the saloon proprietors
much Unnecessary trouble. He then
offered an ordinance repeating the
former one and another which would
carry out the intention of the council.
Marvin Evans, representing taXpay-
-ers on Alder street appeared and OPP
posed the passage of the repeating or
hand in the argument that followed,
when finally the proceedings came to
a stop and the councilmen and the
others interested in the subject held
an informal talk. After about 20 min
utes delay the repeating ordinance was
called up and passed by the following
vote: Ayes. Smith, Mexican. Boyer
and Martin: nays. Glasford, Bridges
and Brewer.
The second ordinance was then
placed on its final passage and car
riel, all the councilmen voting for it
except Glasford
The provisions of the new ordinance
are as follows: Whenever any appli-
cant for Il license for a saloon. or 9TH
er place where intoxicating liquors are
to be sold in less quantities than one
gallon. or other place, in a locality or
at place or street number at which,
or in which no saloon has heretofore
in addition to the requirements of Or
dinance No. 151 present to the officers
and also to the council the consent in
writing of the owners of the majority
of the frontage for $50 feet on each
side of such place, on the same side
of the street. or streets on which the
said proposed saloon, or other place,
is intended to be located, to the open
ing, carrying on and maintenance of
such saloon or other place. No license
shall issue until said consent is pro-
duced and filed with the city clerk.

DEvER Is SOLITARY.
Dicksrson Quits the Fight and Leaves
Thomas All Alone.

J. T. Dickerson yesterday withdrew
from the contest in the Eighth judi
cial district. Having been appointed
to federal judgeship in the Indian
Territory, Mr.. Dickerson had moth
ing to crutest about. The withdrawal
OF Mr.. Dickerson leaves Thomas Dever
Of junction City to make lone fight
on Judge Moore's nomination. His
"protest" is on file and unless with
drawn will be considered by the con-
test board tomorrow.
Dever went to Marion county and
asked that county to endorse him
for appointment to fill the vacancy
because Of his patriotic" efforts for
Dickerson. He pointed with pride to
the fact that he got out votes in
Geary county at primaries and thought
he ought to be rewarded. The Marion
county politicians gave him the CLASSY
stare, the cold hand, the icy fist. They
said "No, thank you," land Dickerson
mailed his resignation. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Dever says things to
himself when he thinks OF the "val-
liant" fight he has made.
