A. F. KEGS, warden Of the state PEN
itentiary at Walla Walla, while in Ia
coma last night declared that the
stories that have been sent out and
printed regarding the manner in
which the prison is conducted are ma
licious fa1sehoods, inspired by petty
political enemies and trouble makers,
says the Tacoma Ledger. The warden
declares that even his own enemies
those who are big enough to fight fair
discredit the stories, which, he says,
are not based on the least foundation
of truth.
Warden KEGS arrived in Tacoma yes
terday afternoon and spent the even
ing in talking with friends and &C.
quaintances at the Donnelly hotel. He
seems the least disturbed of all con-
nected with the so-called fight over
prison matters. The warden is in Ia
coma on business, having come over
with other guards after Tacoma and
Seattle prisoners VINO have been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary. Ten will be
taken from Seattle and one from Ia
coma. Last night, in the lobby of the
Donnelly, the warden met many of his
friends and discussed everything ex-
cept prison matters. That was some
thing that did not appear to weigh on
his mind at ALL
Declares Stories Are False.
eff we are to believe all that has
been printed of late, there really isn't
anything for me to say for publica-
tion," said Warden KEGS to the Ledg-
er last night when he expressed his
opinion of some of the stories that
have been printed during the last few
days regarding the manner in which
the prison is being conducted, which
which he characterizes as utterly
false.
Some of the statements that have
been printed were so malicious1y false
as to be unworthy of denial" contin-

Speaking of the typhoid fever sit

says there are nav but four cases at
the prison and that conditions are
rapidly improving.

Although there is general belief
that the trouble between Warden KEGS
and Governor Mead over the eight
guards charged with illegal registra-
ton and ordered dismissed by the
governor, has been smoothed over.
Warden KEGS declined to confirm such
theory.

Six of the eight guards are still

though I may not have confined myself

l to the drama.
 Speaking to an audience like this which I now have the honor to address, it would be an impertnence to outline the history of the theatre, much less to try to point the ethical facts that relate to the stage. Students who have a quick interest in any field of human effort-and we are all students to the last, l hope have formed ideas on the general facts and principles of life as 1t relates to the theatre and may draw their own conclu- sions There are many of you, no doubt who are amazed after any analysis, no matter how superficial, of the relations of public taste to what Is to be seen In the theatre. You are astonished from time to time in observing what the public does or does not approve in the theatre. The word public Is often misapplied. Any great community is made up of an in- congruous. diverse conglomeration Of persons We see everywhere, in the little towns as well as in the cities, a few per- sons of discrimination among the mass which Is indiscriminate in taste as well as in habit and impulse. In the great cities, 1t Is true, there are found audi ences for plays which shame the stage as well as those who patronlze them; but the discriminating class, made up of per sons whose taste sets standards after the chaos of a crazy dramatic miscellany has been resolved into constituents, Is the class that the theatre must rely upon at all times to keep 1t within the bounds Of sanity. One great play, like the leaven of Holy Writ, may serve to save the theatre for any reason that may appear to he given over to the world, the flesh and the devil"

sANTo DOMINGO TREATY.
Senator Lodge Wants 1t Sent Back to
 Committee.

Washington December 2.-In execu- tive session of the senate today Senator Lodge moved to send back to the com mittee on foreign relations the treaty in relation to Santo Domingo affairs. Op- position developed and Senator Lodge withdrew his motion.
 When MT. Lodge was asked why he desired to have the treaty sent back to the foreign relations committee he said that 1t might be desirable to consider the amendments that had been offered In committee. Several senators said they saw no reason why the amendments could not be considered by the senate.
 Senator Morgan said that before any amendments were voted on or the treaty itself was discussed, 1t was desirable to have further information as to what had been done during the recess of the senate. If the provisions of the tSaty had been carried out before the treaty had been ratified It was desirable to know why such action had been taken and by what authority.
 There seemed a prospect of quite a lengthy debate.

COLLEGE STUDENT / FOR LEGISLATURE
J. s. BENSON, JUNIOR AT JACK SONvlLLE NORMAL, WANTS TO HELP MAKE STATE LAWS-HE MAY WIN.

Jacksonville. December 2-(Special)- , President c. w. Daugette of the Normal school has announced that the Christmas 1 holidays will become effective December | 21, extending to January l. number of 1 students living at distance will remain | here during Christmas, and still larger | number will return by the 3lst inst. to l avail themselves of the annual state ex- aminations, which will be held at the school from January 1 to 3, under the | auspices of County Superintendent of Edu-
 cation H. T. Persons.
 The second number of the Normal School Bulletin has been issued, and 1t contains | a list of very interesting and instructive articles on various phases of education- al work The third number is now in press. It's pages will be taken up almost ex- clusivey by a delineation Of the work ac- complished, objects and mission of the school, the articles to be illustrated by
 sixteen half-tone cuts representative of
 student life and work. The Normal Bull letin is issued quarterly, and has a cir culation of 5000 copies, larger than any similar publication in the state. It Is cir culated free of charge, the expenses of publication being taken out of the school fund. It's aim Is to reach those students and teachers who are unable to attend the school.
 No little interest has been shown in the announcement of J. s. Benson, junior class student of the Normal school, as a candidate for election to the state egis- lature from Jackson, his native county. Although just having reached his major ity, MT. Benson possesses no mean ability. Mentally receptive and alert morally
 strong, energetic worker and con- vincng a speaker he will likely make
 a close race for the place as represen- tative of his county. He Is now formulat- Ing his platform, and will leave in a few days for Scottsboro, his home town, to enter actively into his campaign. He Is supported by some of the strongest men in his county.
