SHUTS OUT THE PUBLIC.
Rockefeller Will Put Up a High Fence
Around His Big Estate.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Boxwood, the
country estate Of John D. Rockefeller
near Tarrytown, which has been open
to the public since Mr.. Rockefeller first
made his home there, will soon be in
closed with a six-foot iron fence. A mo
Admittance" sign will be displayed all
over the estate. This will be greatly
regretted by the public, for it has long
been their favorite drive. The order
is believed to have been made at the in
stigation of Mr.. Rockefeller's son. He
is overseeing the erection of the fence
1t will be several miles long. One
cause of the exclusion of the public is
the reckless driving of some persons
who rode over the beautiful lawns of
the oil king.

Iy Vanished.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, Oct. 21.-

ing in Hoboken, N j., is believed by
the authorities, and that place is being
thoroughly searched tonight.

CASHIER IS SHORT
PLACED UNDER ARREST
Trusted EmpIoye of St. Louis Post
Offiee-May be Errors in
Bookkeeping.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 21.-Francis
p. Runder, cashier Of the st. Louis
postoffice, was arrested in his office
today accused of embezzlement. The
warrant charges a shortage OF be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Runder was
one Of the most trusted and ef1-
cient employees. Postmaster wy
man was shocked when inspectors ac-
ouainted him with the situation. He
said Runder was an epitome of pos
tai information, upon whom the adj
ministration Of the office relied, al
ways placing the greatest confidence
in his honesty and ability.
Runder was arraigned this after
noon and held under $4,000 bond. One
Of the inspectors expressed the opin-
ion that it may develop that the ap-
narent shortage is the result Of se-
ries of mistakes in bookkeeping. ,

ROOSEVELT AT JACKSONVILLE
TALKS ON THE panama CANAL
Says That Canal Will be Built without Doubt and That
the Cost Will Probably be Less Than the First Esd-
mates Type Of Canal Not Yet Decided

probably at less than anticipated. But
no positive statement can be made
until the report is out. OF course,
inevitable difficulties will occur and
checks will be encountered. When
ever such is the case men of little
faith at home and critics who con-
found hysteria with emphasis, will act
after the manner of their kind. No
check that can come will be of more
than trivial and passing consequence.
When any such work is done there
are always the mere adventures and
many who think they are adventurers,
but who in reality are either weak
Or timed. Some of the first class
cause trouble occasionally. They can
be detected and punished. The Sec
ond class cause trouble chiefly by
losing heart, returning home and
writing or raising the cry of the
unhappy life and the hard work be-
ing done wrong. These are like the
stragglers of victorious army. The
isthmus climate is supposed to be
deadly. Yellow fever particularly is
supposed to be epidemic. Since we
have assumed control there is less fe-
yer than in this country. The admin
istration is steadily becoming bet
ter and more effective from a hygien-
ic and every other standpoint. Dig
ging the canal will make an efficient
navy more necessary"
The president discussed the plans
for preserving peace N adjacent coun-
tries and of promoting commerce in
the Caribbean sea.

WITNESSES AGAINST
ITALIAN CANNOT BE FOUND
IN STATE.
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson Asks
That Their Testimony Given in
Former Trial be Admitted.

With one witness, Charles T. Claus
en-, dead, and two others, Antoine Pa
Iona and Daniel Baroma, out of the
jurisdiction of the Walia Walla su-
perior court, the case of Joseph
D'Pasqualo, charged with manslaugh-
ter and ordered to be given a new
trial by the supreme court, may go
free of the charge, unless Judge
Brents holds that the testimony of
ographer and sworn to at the former
trial Of Pasqualo may be admitted as
evidence against Pasqualo when he
is brought up for retrial at next weeks
session of the SUPERIOR court.
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson today
filed a motion in the case asking the
court to issue an order authorizing
him to introduce the testimony of the
three principal VII esses against
PasquaIo, Charles T. Clausen, Antoine
Paloma and Daniel Baroma, when
the case against Pasqualo is brought
to trial. In the affidavits accompany
ing the motion it is SHOWN that Claus
en- died near Boise City, Idaho, the
latter part of July or the fore part of
August and that Paloma and Baroma
cannot be found, although diligent
search for them has been made by
Sheriff Painter and the sheriff of
King county A like search in Spokane
county failed to disclose the wherea-
bouts of the two men and it is now
asserted that neither of them are in
the state of Washington.
At the former trial of Pasqualo, Palo
ma and Baroma were principal wit
nesses against Pasqualo, who is charg-
ed with the killing of Dominic De VAL
ario in Walla Wa1la early last year.
Their testimony was taken down In
shorthand and later transcribed and
is now preserved in the statement of
facts prepared for the appeal to the
supreme court. In requesting that the
testimony sworn to by the three men
be admitted in the coming trial Pros
ecuting Attorney Wilson alleges that
the testimony of the three men can
not be testified to by any other wit
nesses and in event the testimony is
not admitted the prosecution OF the
case must be wholly abandoned.

SENATOR RESER ERECTS SAW
MILL SOUTH OF WALLA
WALLA.
Owns Several Thousand Acres Of VAL
liable Timber Lands-Near Site
Of Lizenby Mill.

Ex-State Senator William P. Reser
has Just completed the erection of a
big sawmill plant near the site of the
old Lizenby mill. 13 miles southeast
of Walla Walla, and will engage in
the lumber business on an extensive
scale. The new plant is operated by
the big traction engine used by SEN
ator Reser in his threshing outfit.
Mr.. Reser owns several thousand
acres of timber south of Walla Walla,
much of which is valuable for lumber
purposes.
The installation of the plant will
revive the numbering interests in
Walla Walla which have tagged for
several years past since the old Teal
and Lizenby mills were dismantled.
The only mill in operation anywhere
near Walla Walla is the one owned
nv the E. G. Cox company, near
Dixie. Lack of transportation fa-
cilities has retarded the numbering
operations in the mountains south
of Walla Walla, it being necessary to
haul at least IA miles by wagon.

LA WALLA PRODUCERS
He Is Making Effort to Arouse Inter-
est Among the Fruit Grow
ers Of the State.

Cooperation on the part of every
fruit grower in the state of Washing

to carry on the work of ridding the
orchards of this country of the nu-
merous pests that are each year
running thousands of dollars worth
Of fruit" said F. A. Huntley, COM
missioner of horticulture, this morn
ing. Mr.. Huntley is in Walla for the
growers of this section and in making
a determined effort to enlist them in
their work that is being prosecuted
throughout the state in fighting the
Goblin moth, San Jose scale and other
pests.
'I am making a tour of the state,
said Mr.. Huntley, making it a
point to meet as many Of the fruit
growers as possible. With a view
of securing cooperation I have put
in considerable time in the counties
where fruit raising is one Of the
principal Industries, and have sue
ceeded in awakening much interest
among the producers. Tney are fast
coming to realize that concerted ac-
ton is required in ridding the coun-
try Of the pests and I hope that I
can convince the Walla Walla val
ley orchardists and fruit growers
of the Importance of working to-
gether. One thing that Walla Wal
la needs is a good live horticultural
society and trust that such an or
ganization will be organized here
Commissioner Huntley announced
that the annual meeting Of the State

THREE NIGHTS IN SUCCESSION
w. c. HALLS PLACE HAS
BEEN FIRED.
Family Discovers Blaze Each Time and
Saves BuIding-PoIice Will Prob.
ably Investigate.

For three nights in succession de-
liberate attempts have been made to
burn the barn of w. G.. Hail, the well
known Eureka Flat farmer, residing at
Baker and Touchet streets. Wednes-
day evening about 5 o'clock a brisk
fire was discovered by the family
burning in the wOOdshed, which is a
part of the barn. The blaze was ex-
tinguished without any damage.
Thursday night the outside door of the
barn was found On fire and after the
flames had been put out two small ink
bottles filled with kerosene were
found close to the fire.
Thoroughly alarmed at the attempts
close watch about the premises, re-
sulting in finding the barn on fire
again last night. A blaze had been
kindled by someone in the manger and
in a minute would have communicated
with the hayloft above. A few buck
cts of water saved the building and
the adjoining barns from being burned.
Mr. Hail is at a loss to account for
the attempts to burn his barn and
the matter will probably be turned
over to the police for investigation.
The general supposition is that the
fires are being set by children.

THE JEWISH PASSOVER.
Hebrews Of This City Begin celebra.
ton of Feast Of Thanksgiving.

Hebrews Of This City Begin Celebra-
ton Of Feast Of Thanksgiving.
The feast of the Passover began
Friday night at shutdown, to
continue for one week. The
Jewish people of this city are
celebrating the feast in a fitting
manner. The occasion is solemn
one in Jewish circles and will be OBJ
served by all orthodox Hebrews.
"The festival is commemorative of
the deliverance of ancient Israel from
the Egyptian bondage" said promin-
ent Hebrew, "as recorded in the early
chapter of Exodus. This event is sup
posed to have occurred during the
reign of King Monephta about 1866,
B. C.
"The modern services are conducted
II the spirit Of the historical cause,
though, as matter of course, with
out any national basis for the celebra-
| ton.
"It is with the Israelites of our day
the idea of liberty which pervades the
solemnities of that old festival.
There is an association of all free
dom, achieved in the course of ages
by Israel and other nations alike, with
that memorable release of the ances-
tors of the Hebrew race from a state
of servitude which threatened to level
those who were destined to become
the votaries and champions OF true
Monotheism in the world to the low
grade of Egyptian animal and nature
worship, had not Providence, by that
wonderful combination of incidents re.
corded in scripture, interfered to draw
Israel away from that country to be
under Moses educated in the imageless
worship of God and instructed in the
laws of right living with the ideal OF
perfection held up to them in the reve.
lation on Mount Sinai
1T may be safely stated that Israel
all over the world is liberty loving and
is always found in the ranks of those
who strive to gain independence from
oppressive rule.
"In all the later biblical ages there
are direct indications that the Israel
ties, with their fair conditions Of pros
perity, never felt themselves salts
fled whenever heavy dependence
rested upon them.
1.-THE services in the synagogue OF
that festival reflect the deep estimation
of the gift of the human and civil lib
erty on the part of the Jewish wor
shippers and their gratitude to God fol
enjoying, wherever they do, human
rights and liberties for the enjoymen
of life"
