CHICAGO ChiIdless Flat LEGAL

CHICAGO, June 13.-The childless
fiat is legal, even if it is cherries and
noiseless. The landlord who insist on
barring the Rooseveltian family may
bring down on his selfish head the op-
probrium of the antirace suicide club,
but he has the law with him.
The judiciary committee of the city
council, following advice from Corpo-
ration Counsel Tomal, has decided that
the aldermen cannot intervene in be-
half of the man with the big family,
and the ordinance introduced by AL
derman Jonathan Ruxton was shelved
and never will reach the council.
No one was present at the commit
tee meeting to champion the cause OF
the large family in it's fight against the
discriminating landlords and there was
not even a murmur of protest when
the ordinance was placed in the ar
chives of the council.

MINERS ARE UNGRATEFUL
Mitchell Says He Will Make Last
Effort to Reorganize the Union

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 13.-Ex-
planning President John Mitchells
statement to the Mine Workers that he
does not knoW how long ne will be with
them, Rev. J. J. Curran of this city,
his close friend and confidant, says:
"As long as the miners stand by John
Mitchell, so long will they stand by
themselves. If they disrupt their union
they will force him into involuntary
retirement. If a respectable majority
of both the bituminous and anthracite
miners want John Mitchell to be their
leader still, he will remain with them.
But if assertions from the ranks be-
come so numerous as to threaten the
union then ne will retire.
1T has panied this unselfish man to
see so many of his followers who were
benefited So much by his wise counsel
desert the cause of unionism. He is
now making a supreme effort to recruit
his scattered hosts. 1 believe he will
succeed, as ne has in everything he has
undertaken

SAY THERE is LITTLE CHANCE
OF CATCHING MURDERERS
OF CHRIS ELLIS
The Grand Jury Fails to Return Any
Indictments and Mystery Will
Remain UnsoIved
The authorities have about abandon

The authorities have about abandon
ed hope of capturing the murderers
of Chris Ellis, the young man found
dead on Lincoln mountain, with bull
let hole through his head, last sum-
mer. The grand jury at Pendleton,
which has just concluded it's sessions,
failed to return an indictment in the
Ellis case as sufficient evidence was
not introduced to warrant any action
being taken.
The murder of young Ellis will prob
ably go down as one of the mysteries
of Umatilla county. Ellis, who was
quite prominent around Weston, start
ed for F1etcher's sawmill on Lincoln
mountain one day last summer. Three
days afterward his body, with big
bullet hole through the head, was
found lying alongside a lonely wood
road. The pockets were turned
wrong side out, and sum of money
amounting to nearly 500 was missing.
The Umatilla county authorities after
nearly a years work on the case have
announced themselves baffled. The
death of young Ellis marks the third
mysterious murder to occur on Lin
coin mountain within the past ten
years.

GOOD SHOW PROMISED.
Benefit for the Local Woman's Relief
Corps.

The Sumpter Reporter has this to
say of the performance of Babes of
the Woods" a pretty play which Is to
be given for the benefit of the local
Woman's Relief Corps:
The attendance at Ellis Opera House
last night to witness the presentation
seating capacity. There was a unani-
nous verdict. 1t was: "He did we'll"
There were none present who were ex-
pecting a Kiralfy presentation. All
were more or less acquainted with the
members of the cast and heartily ap-
plauded, both the solo and chorus num-
bers. Several of the former were par
particularly well rendered. To make
special mention of these might bring
the writer's judgment into question by
more competent critics, hence diplo-
macy negatives the thought. Cultiva-
ton of voice and Evolutionary powers
will make for some OF those young peo-
pie on the stage last night their calling
in life when they have reached ma
turity. The choruses, dances and
marches were all rendered with precis-
ion and accuracy seldom found in an
ensemble of older heads. The costum-
ing and climaxes were pleasing to the
eye and produced appreciation from
both old and young.

WALLA WALLANS GET A HUSTLE
ON AND SECURE THEIR IL
CENSEs AND NUMBER
Seven Owners of Machines in Walla
WaIIa Have Registered-Some
Are Delinquent

Seven owners of automobiles in
Walla Walla have secured their IL
censes and numbers from the secre-
tary of states office as required by the
new automobile law passed by the last
legislature and which has just gone
into effect. J. L. Elan, who owns a
Waverly, was the first Walla Wallan
to secure his license. Mr.. Elam's num-
Der on the official list is II. Other
owners of machines to secure their Ii
censes and numbers are w. w. Baker,

While there are probably 500 auto
mobiles throughout the state, up to
Friday. June 9, only 112 licenses had
been issued and it is figured that at
least 400 auto owners are violating the
law.
The new law requiring numbers on
all machines and a license from the
secretary of state, as we'll as regulat-
ing the speed of the machines in city
and country became effective Thurs
day, along with many other laws that
were passed by the last legislature,
vet. thus far, there has been no rush
made on the secretary of states office
by autoists who desire to observe the
law.
Of the 112 licenses that had been is
sued up to Friday, 81 of them went to
Seattle parties, % to owners of autos
in Tacoma, and II to Olympia. But
one license had been issued for SpO
kane. Aside from the cities mentioned
the licenses have been Issued to owners
in Ellensburg, Hoquiam, Port Town
send, Gle Elum, Blaine and Lyman.

for superstition by taking No. IS,
which had been refused by every
Washington man to whom it had been
offered.

Famous "Pete" Browning Insane

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 13.-Louls
Rodgers Browning, a star of the base
ball armament from 1882 to 1895, and
known to every fan in the United
States as Line 'em out Pete" is in
sane. His commitment to the asylum
for the insane at Lakewood has been
ordered at the instance of his sister.
Softening of the brain is his malady.
Browning unQuestionably was one of
the greatest batsmen the national game
has known. Starting in 1882 with the
famous Eclipse team of this city, he
played here until 1888, then went to
Pittsburg, in 1890 to the Brotherhood
team of Cleveland, in 1872 to Gin
cinnati, and ended his professional ca
reer in 1893 in Allentown, Pa.

LACK OF STEAMERS WILL DELAY
THE OPEN RIVER TRANS
PoRTATioN COMPANY.
From Puget Sound to Put on
the Columbia.

Not until some arrangements can be
made to put on line of steamers from
Portland to The Dalles will the Open
River Transportation company inaug-
urate it's special water service by way
of the portage road to Lewiston. The
officers of the company have been cast
ing about in the Portland harbor for
suitable steamers, but in all quarters
the craft are busily engaged in regular
business and none can be secured for
the project.
Joseph Teal, who is actively inter-
ested in the company, has given out
the information that in all probability
the company would endeavor to obtain
boats from Puget Sound, but local
steamboat men say most of the vessels
on the Northern waters are likewise
enjoying good season, and those that
might be had for the middle river are
too heavy to be used in the Cascade
rapids. The steamers Mountain Gem
and Norma will be used between &C.
lilo and Lewiston until the new cor
poration can construct boats for that
part Of the route, so no delays will be
had in furnishing transportation there
when line can be placed in operation
from Portland to the present end of
navigation at the Wasco county
metropolis.
Some of the men residing in the up
per country who have money in the
project are expected to meet in Port
land in another week, and then it is
probable the question of chartering
steamers for immediate needs will be
thoroughly gone over and it's solution
may then be accomplished.

HOLDS DAM WITH UGLY GUN
Refuses to Permit a Lumber Company
to Drive the River.

CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, June 13.-
Iron county has a Dietz case. The
scene of the affray is above Atkinson,
on the Paint river, and about eight
miles from Elmwood. A man named
Grimes is the principal on the one
hand, and the Menominee River Boom
company through William Moss, who
has the contract to drive the logs on
the Paint river, is playing the princi-
pal role on the other. The bone of
contention is a reservoir dam, and one
of the chief understudies is a man
with a gun, whom Grimes has station
ed on the dam with instructions to
shoot anybody who attempts to open
the gates.
The details are meager as yet but it
has been reported to the sheriff that
the boom company men, sent to open
the gates, have been frightened away
at the point of gun, and the officer
has gone to the scene to investigate.
1t is not clear whether Grimes owns
the land on which the dam is situated,
in which case he is within his rights,
or whether, as also reported, he has
logs of his own to drive and means to
hold the water for that purpose If
the latter, he is clearly trespasser, as
the boom company has a charter per-
uniting it to drive the river.
1t is the contention of Superintend-
ent Moss that the land involved is the
property of the Kirby Carpenter Lum-
Der company, a stakeholder in the
boom company, and that Grimes has
no authority in the premises The
boom company is in great need of wa
ter to finish out it's drive, and if it can
not get it, it will be seriously nandi-
capped and will sustain considerable
financial loss.

aIlIE COATS FROM THE GARRi-

BALL TEAM TONIGHT
M,raoer O'Connor Has Made Change
in the Time for Playing Games
Time Called at $3.50

With eyes we'll trained by target
nractice at Fort Walla Walla, the SOL
;1ier will go up against Fruit Pickers
IN the Second street ball grounds to-
night. The game will be called prompt
w at $50 and the change in the hour
of playing is expected to be the means
of attracting large crowd OF 1ans'
The Fruit Pickers were so elated over
the drubbing given the Pendleton In
dams Sunday that they are asserting
that they are invincible and will DO
the same thing to the boys VINO do the
fighting for Uncle Sam. The blue
coats are equally as confident of do
ing things to the Fruit Pickers and
they are claiming that O'Connor's ag-
gregation will have to play league
ball if they want to win the contest to-
night.
According to the dope that is dished
up by those who follow the national
game closely, the soldiers have the
best team that the Walla Walla nine
mas gone against this season. Each
time these two teams have played the
games have been replete with sensa-
tional features and the contests have
been close and exciting. Klemp, who
did a stunt for the Walla Walla team
Sunday afternoon, is almost full nine
himself, and he claims that he will put
up a better game when he is surround
ed with comrades in arms.
Tempany will probably do the
twirling for the Fruit Pickers while
Seegits will hold down the point for
the boys in blue.
Spokane Next Monday.
Manager O'Connor last night closed
a deal whereby he will have the Spo-
kane league team in Walla Walla next
Monday, when he will endeavor to
give the big boys some pointers how
the national game is played. The

eyes, and as Mr.. Harding says,
while the Republican editors of
Ohio see the party passing into
the hands of bosses and the Legis-
lature corrupted by these same
political bosses, yet they sit quiet
and raise no protest, applauding
everything that is done. The Ca
zette lays no claim to any bravery,
but we are open and above board
in saying that we agree with Mr..
Harding and are sick and disgust
ed with the present bosslsm that
rules the party from Cincinnati
and with the system that makes
every Ohio Republican convention

The Medina Gazette has repeat
edly criticised the Anti-Saloon
League, but upon the "bossism'
proposition it agrees with us en-
tirely as to the facts. But so
does every Republican paper in
the state with spark of inde-
pendence in it, and there are
many such.
Not by denying bossism, but by
fret admitting, and next extirpa-

No One League, or Organization or Sect
Fostered the Opposition to Herrick.
A POLITICAL UPHEAVAL.
Neghbor1ng States Have Taken Themselves to
Cleaning, and Now it is Ohio's Turn.

The Anti-Saloon league has
been blamed with raising all the
discord in the Republican party
about "bossism." Such papers as
the Ohio State journal, the Iron
ton Register, and others Of that
ilk, fatty declaim, in the face of
facts which all the world know to
be true, that there is no such
thing as bossism in Ohio Republi-
canism, that Cox is not boss,
and that the denomination of Mr..
Herrick was voluntary and un-
compelled act, in which Cox simp-
ly acquiesced.
There are, however, some Re-
publican organs,-and those, too,
not particularly sympathetic with
the Anti-Sal Don League, who are
telling the truth. For example,
last week the Medina Gazette, the
organ of the Republican party in
the county of that name, went af
ter the state organization in saw
age fashion. 1t took as its text
the speech Of Lieutenant Cover
nor Warren G. Harding at Cedar
Point, attacking the political lob
byists and the grating municipal
code. On the question of the
dictation of legislation by the
political lead rs it used this
strong language:
"That is all true. The politi-
