WANT A SHELTER.
Salvation Army Wants a Home for
Destitute Men.

A shelter for destitute men is the
latest project that may be launched
in Walla Walla. Major Dublin. who
was in the city this week declared that
some place for men who are in need
should be opened in this city.
A resort where the men can read
and find healthy amusement and
place to sleep, is badly needed said
the major. Scarcely a day passes that
the local officers are not approached
by some young man who is hungry and
without a place to sleep. We have to
take them in the lodging houses.
If possible it is desired to secure a
large room. upstairs over some store,
that could be converted into dorml-
tory. The army has these shelters In
Seattle. Portland and Tacoma and
Spokane.

WAITING AT SHANGHAI.
No Arrangements Made to Forward
Consul Davidson to Antunr.

The State Department has sent no fresh in
structions to United States Consul David
son to proceed to his post as consul at An
tung, and the Navy Department has made
no arrangements to forward him aboard
warship or under convoy from Shanghai
When the consul sailed from San Francisco
1t was understood by the department that
he would go as far as Shanghai and there
await further instructions. for there was no
disposition here to make an unnecessary
issue at this time by forcing the consul
upon Russia. even though the Chinese gov
eminent had already granted an exequatur,
therefore it is believed Iere that Mr.. David
son has carried out the original plan and is
waiting quietly at Shanghai until the de-
partment instructs him to proceed

CASE OF SAMUEL A. CROFT.
Probable Action by Commissioners on
Trial Board Report.

The trial papers in the case of Private
Samuel A. Croft of the metropolitan police
force are in the hands of Commissioner
West, and it is expected he will recommend
prompt action in the matter late this even
understood Major Sylvester has stated that
the point involved is question of law and
not of fact, and it is further understood he
suggests that the papers be forwarded to
the corporation counsel for legal opinion.
1t is not improbable that Commissioner
West will recommend such action to his as
sociates on the board of Commissioners.
The police trial board. 1t is alleged, has
recommended that Croft be fined $40 a
month, leaving him a monthly salary or
$50, which would be equal to the amount OF
pension which the retiring board reoom-
mended he should receive. 1t is learned
that had Groff's arrest last June been de-
ferred for a week he would now be on the
retired list at pension of $50 month In
view of the fact that the court has sus-
pended execution of the sentence against
Croft the police trial board did not feel
justified in arbitrarily recommending
Groffs removal from the force. The Com
missioners desire that no injustice shall
be done the officer, and desire to take into
consideration all the circumstances sur
rounding the case.
1t has been suggested that the Commis-
sioners might impose a fine of $50 month
upon Croft, the total amount of salary he
is receiving, until the disposition of his case
by the Court of Appeals. 1t is pointed out
by the Court of Appeals. 1t is pointed
out in case the Commissioners should re-
rules obtaining he could not be reinstated IL
it is finally determined in court that he Ia
innocent of the charges preferred against
MIN in connection with the Post Office De-
partment cases.

Gov. Odell to Resign.

A dispatch from Albany, N. Y, says
Gov Odell it was asserted last night, has
informed his most intimate friends that IL
is his intention to resign from the governor
ship, probably in September, SO that he may
be free to devote himself entirely to the
management of the republican state and
national campaigns.
This determination on the part of the
governor meets with the hearty approval
of his associates in the direction of the
affairs of the party. While they have
made light of the criticisms that have
been leveled at the governor by his ene-
mics because of his plan to make himself
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee. while retaining the Office he now
holds, 1t is not to be denied that they
have feared the effect upon the people at
large of such an unprecedented combi-
nation of political and civil functions.
1t was said some time ago that Gov.
Odeli intended to resign his Office to take
charge of the vast railroad interests OF
Mr.. e. H. Hartman. This was denied by
the governor at the time.

THE SWAYNE CASE
NO TINE FIXED FOR CALLING UP
RESOLUTION in THE HOUSE.
representative Palmer Thinks Time
Will Be Given to Read this
Evidence.

Representative Palmer. who made the re-
port to the House in the Swayne impeach-
ment case, said today that no definite time
has been fixed for calling up the resolution
of impea chment in the House. 1t Is a
privileged matter and subject to being call
ed up at any time. He thought there might
be reasonable delay, in order to give mem.
bers of the House time to read the report
and the evidence.
The impression among the House leaders
is that the impeachment case will not delay
the adjournment of Congress. 1t is thought
that the resolution will pass, the Senate
will take order for hearing the House
presentation of the case, and that along
about that time Congress will adjourn, the
Senate fixing a date next fall for trying
the case
A movement is on foot in the Senate to
have committee of the Senate do the
greater part of the work during the recess,
If that plan is legal and feasible. Senator
Hears resolution on those lines was adopt
ed yesterday.
The committee on rules will report on
this proposition before the House presents
the charges, the general. wish of senator's
being to prevent delaying adjournment il
possible.
