TO FORM SOCIETY.
Lovers of the Feathery Tribe Hold a
Meeting.

The lectures recently given in the
city by William Rogers Lord on birds
have created quite an interest in the
study and protection of birds and it
has been suggested that a bird society
should be organized in Walla Walla.
Societies of this character are main
tanned in other cities and usually have
for their object the cultivation of
love for the birds and a more thorough
knowledge of the bird and its relations
to man. Such societies also do what
they can to protect the native birds
and encourage the proper study of
birds in the public schools.
A meeting of all persons interested
in such a society was called for
o'clock this afternoon in Room IS in
the Whitman Memorial building.

GOLD BRICK TRICK WORKED
Victim Tries to Dispose of His "Buy"
at Government Mint,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-United
states mint officials have discovered
what appears to be a gigantic gold
brick swindle, with E. Cohn. of the
Crossley building, as the victim. Cohn
look a large metal bar to the mint
for deposit. The experienced ewes of
the receiving clerk, Major D. /. Nog-
gle, discerned that the ingot had a sus-
plclous appearance. The doubts as to
It's genuineness We're confirmed bv an
assay, not a trace of precious. metal
being found
Nhen Conn was advised of the re-
suits of the assay, he staggered as if he
had been shot A comnanion in tho
excitement, turned to the man with the
exclamation:
I told you so. told you that it was
a swindle"
The pair took the worthless bar away
with them. Subsequently Superin-
tendent F. A. Leach, of the mint. ad-
Vised Secret Service Agent William J.
Burns of the peculiar transaction. The
mint people are satisfied that Cohn was
the victim of gold brick deal, and
probably was hard hit. Major Noggle
notified superintendent Leach that had
the bar been genuine it would have
been worth $4,000. AS it is, the assay
showed that it was absolutely worth
less.
The brick, as described by Major
Noggle, was rough, blackened affair,
not gilded, but of brass, with the ap-
pearance to an Impractical eye of a bar
of alleged gold. In size it was large
enough to have carried $4,000 in gold.
but not heavy enough to be precious
metal
f. COhn is a money lender in the
Crossiey building. COINS brother said
today that two brothers named Gutter.
race track men, had obtained from Z.
Cohn $1,000 on many different
schemes, and the latter was pressing
them for payment of the debt. Max
Gutter let Cohn know that he had the
brick, and the money-lender was eager
for a settlement, thinking the brick
was worth at least $4,000. Gutter
agreed to let him have the chunk if he
would give him $500 more. This Cohn
readily did, and then FASTENED to the
mint. Cohn is now seeking the Gut
ters, and is in doubt whether he shall
proceed criminally or civilly against
the Cutters.

ADOPT NO-CREDIT RULE
RAILROADS WILL INSIST UPON
PROMPT PAYMENT OF
FREIGHT CHARGES.
1T Has Been Tried at Numerous Points
and Proved to Be
Successful.

Credit positively refused" is a
sign that in the future, will not be the
exclusive property of restaurants and
retail stores. Three railroads, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. Wis
Minneapolis and Omaha lines, have
agreed to ship no more freight unless
the cash is paid down III advance, and
receivers of freight, at least in the east,
have been notified that cash will be ex-
pected hereafter or else they will be
compelled to submit to a curtalment of
the privileges usually extended.
Reprimands and threats and talk of
reorganization of the entire freight sys-
TEN throughout the northwest have
been frequent, the object being to en-
ph, size the fact that prompt collection
of freight charges will hereafter be
vigorously insisted upon. The agents,
i'll turn, have taken it out of the re-
ceivers of freight by issuing circulars
outlining the fact that new rules are
in force and no more credit can be eX-
Eended.
Tried at Number of Points.
The nO-credit system has been tried
at a number of the more important in
terror points in the northwest and the
results have been such as to demon
strate that it can be generally applied
with due notice without seriously in
conVeniencing business men, In St
Paul and Minneapolis the same sys-
tenn will be made effective, modified
only in such a measure as to cover
necessary delays due to the system of
receiving and accounting for shipments
coming in, in vogue at the larger
wholesale and jobbmg establishments.
AdViceS from the east announcing the
decision of the three roads named to
drop the thrty-day credit plan say:
Receivers of freight have been al
lowed various terms, sometimes as
much as thirty days within to remit
for charges. Many large receivers of
freight in the northwest and at prin-
cipal points have been allowed to prac-
tically suit their own convenience in
paying charges for goods taken from
receiving warehouses. Under the new
rules but twenty tours leeway will be
given after which agents are instruct
ed to take effective measures to get
the money.
The three lines base their new rules
on the fact that under the old system
agents We're wasting time on collections
which should have been devoted to
other duties. The credit system made
it necessary to spend considerable
time on complicated freight charge ac-
counts interfered with the promptness
Of the agents remittanCeS to head
quarters, and sometimes resulted in
disputes and bad freight bills, causing
loss TO the lines. They take the posi-
ton that if a private individual finds
no difficulty in paying on delivery the
charges due on his freight, big COM
panies with plenty of money should
ind even less.
