FRANK GLEN is THE BOY WHO
WANTED GOVERNMENT
LICENSE YESTERDAY.
Visited Armory Last Night and At
tempted to Practice Art on the
Band Boys.

Frank Glen is the name of the young
man who visited City Clerk Reynolds
office yesterday and requested a gov
eminent license for practicing the art
of hypnotism. He is son of ex-State
Senator Glenn of Oregon, who lives
about eight miles west of Walla Walla
and for several weeks has been en-
ployed in the O. X. Barber shop in East
Main street. The young man gave
such pronounced evidence of being in
sane on the subject of fynotism that
friends turned him over to Sheriff
Painter last night and he was placed
in a cell in the county Jail where he
will remain until ne can be turned over
to his parents for safe keeping or else
examined for insanity.
Last night young Glenn visited the
Armory where the Walla Walla Mill
tary band was holding rehearsals and
the band boys. He lined up the chairs
in a circle and ordered the boys to be
seated. The young fellow was hu-
mored for a while until he became a
nuisance, when he was elected from
the building. Yesterday afternoon ne
went into the Farmers Savings bank
and attempted to negotiate a loan,
saying that he needed the money for
carrying on his business. AS the bank
was not in the business of financing
hynotists his request was refused and
he left the bank in high dudgeon, say
ing that he would throw his patronage
to a bank across the street.
Friends have noticed that the young
mans actions nave been peculiar for
more than week, but they kept silent
about the matter in hopes That he
would recover. Last night his actions
became so alarming that friends turned
him over to the authorities.

COSTUMES ARE .COMING
RehearsaIs for Show Are Proving
Satisfactory.

"Alice in Wonderland" looks better
after each rehearsal, said member of
the caste after coming from the re-
hearsal this morning. Several songs
and funny sketches not in the drama
tized played were added from the book
to make the play longer, last night
under the direction of Miss Merrell.
The costumes for the play will ar
rive Saturday morning in order that
the characters can be photographed in
different situations for advertising pur-
poses. The costumer wrote yesterday
to the manager that the king and
queen would be costumed more richly
than any ever seen in Walla Walla.
Both will have rich silken suits, with
fine powdered wigs and heavy crowns.
The Halter will have yellow wig
under his "stovepipe" nat and the
White Rabbit will wear little red
coat that will set the children wild
with delight. Alice will appear in a
little bingham gown that will be too
cute for anything.

ROAD AS A CHECK ON OTHERS
TranscontinentaI Rates Will Not be
Cut, Unless Roads Are Greedy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April elf
statements made by Canal Commits
sioner Shonts are to be relied upon,
the government does not intend to
run amuck" among the transcontinen-
tai railroads on the subject of freight
rates on the Panama railroad. This
highway is now absolutely under the
control of the federal government, ana
Commissioner Shonts, by virtue of his
position, is it's president.
A few days ago the presidents of
some of the transcontinental railroads
hastened to Washington to checkmate
any move that would interfere with
their dividends. They have been con-
trolling the rates between Atlantic ana
Pacific seaboards for so many years
of this snort line of road, permitting
all steamships to transship across the
isthmus at identical rates, doomed up
as a menace to the dividend-p paying
power of their roads.
The visit to Washington appears TO
have been fruitful in results for Mr.
Shonts announces that the railroads
need have nothing to fear. He says:
The government ownership OF the
Panama railroad will in no way affect
the railroad business of the United
States. The government has taken
over the Panama railroad as means
of assisting in the construction of the
canal, not as an undertaking in COM
petition with the railroads of this
country.
Il do not think the rates at present
charged on general merchandise Tor
the transisthmian haul will be altered.
The government does not propose 10
run the railroad in opposition to sys-
TENS operated privately in the United
States"

MURDERED MANS BODY FOUND.
Crime Committed Eve Miles From the
Town of Cheney.

CHENEY, April 21.-Tne badly de-
composed body of an unknown man.
who evidently had been murdered, was
found in lonely place five miles from
town. The head was crushed and the
body had evidently been dragged there
by means of a bloody rope.
For a distance of nearly thirty feet
from where the body lay was a clearly
marked trail of pieces of hair and
blood cord, the body evidently having
been dragged over the ground. A roll
of blankets lay near the corpse. Both
the body and the face bore marks of
having been checked by wild animals,
the features being barely distinguish
able. Deputy Sheriff Brown searched
the clothes of the dead man, but could
find nothing that would lead to the lat
ters identity. The man was fairly
we'll dressed, but was minus shoes. He
was about 55 years old and was smooth
shaver, weighing 135 pounds.

many more.

locity, penetration and range than
any other artillery piece now in use.
