ADJUSTMENTS
Bio Bill at La Vern's


AS the city's clocks peal forth the
hour of seven tonight, they will sig
nalize the approach of the Inaugural
ton of Walla Walla's new military
band and symphony orchestra. Never
before has the. local interest been
aroused to the high point which now
characterizes the watching and wait
ing of the public for the first appear
ance of this new organization, and it
of La Verns popular theatre raises on
the first number, Professor George
Herbert and his men will receive as
hearty and enthusiastic an ovation as
seldom falls to the lot of even king.
A most proilliant program has been ar
ranged of both classical and popular
music, among which will be Flotow's
Overture of "Stradella"; selection, Pa
troll of the Blue and the Gray" and
Balfe's beautiful mariana" But the
piece de resistance will be "Tne Cav
airy Charge" by Luders, of "The Bur-
gomaster'' and King Dodo" fame.
This number wildly portrays the soft,
mellow dawn of new day, over
peaceful vale, which is soon changed
to a scene of deadly combat. In the
distance can be heard the dull rumb-
ling sound of the massive forces, fast
approaching; it's the advance charge
of infantry and cavalry of two war
factions. AS each discover the other,
for moment only they pause for Or
front, each man eager for the fray.
One can hear the terrible crash as the
forces meet The shots, the roar of
cannon, the death cry of the vanquish-
ed andying; and final retreat. All this
is so graphically rendered, that one
can almost imagine themselves to be
an actual spectator of a battlefield.
A special orchestral program is be-
ing prepared to furnish the latest Sc
lectiOnS between the acts of Lawrence
Russells powerful play, AT the Old
Pike Road 1t is written in the same
vein as Denman Thompson's famous
odd Homestead" and is said to be an
excellent companion piece to Sag
Harbor.' 1t tells the story of simple
rural life of the people of southern In
diana. and one could witness this beau
tiful play over and over again without
growing tired, so closely cemented to
nature are the characters. 1t is char
acter study, and it's naturalism stands
out boldly; it is unveneered.
A prize of $40 is offered Saturday
night and a grand candy matinee will
be given in the afternoon.

SEATTLE PARTIES BRING SUIT TO
PREVENT ENFORCEMENT
OF THE ACT.
Fourteen Counts Against Scott Act A.
legged in a Complaint Filed
at Olympia.

A suit to test the validity of the law
passed by the last legislature prohib-
iting the use of trading stamps mas
been instituted in the superior court of
Thurston county, in the name of Ernest
and A. L. Hutchinson, doing business
as the National Trading Stamp COM
pany. The concerns place of business
is at 1106-s Third avenue, Seattle.
The suit is unique from the fact that
it seeks to prevent the enforcement of
law which does not become operative
until June following. The suit is
brought against Governor Albert E.
Mead and Attorney General John D.
Atkinson to prevent them from en-
forcing the law when the time arrives,
on the ground that it is unconstitu-
tional, and petitions the court to de-
clare the proposed law illegal.
No less than fourteen counts are ar
rayed against the prohibitive statue,
which is designated as house bill No.
$40, introduced by Representative
Scott, of Spokane. 1t is attacked as
destructive to the lawful business of
the plaintiff; a destruction of their
rights as individuals; an act against
public policy; a restriction of trade
between the people of the state, and of
interstate trade and commerce.; as
special and class legislation; of unlaw-
fully, wrongfully adm unconstitution-
ally, depriving the plaintiffs of their
liberty and rights; as oppressive, dis
criminative, prohibitive and unreason-
able and not proper and lawful; that
the bill embraces more than one sub
ject and that the subject of the act
is not expressed in the title and hence
is unconstitutional
These are some of the shortcomings
alleged against the measure. The
company alleges that it has $4,000 in
vested in the business, which will be
destroyed by the act, together with an
annual income of $4,000. 1t operates
in the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and
Everett and ELSEWHERE in the United
States"

RAPID-FIRE PHILANTHROPY
Rogers Style of Making Donation:
When Busy.

On a recent occasion Mr.. Rogers
showed the same swiftness of judg-
ment that has made MIN successful in
business, says Worlds Works. He was
waited upon by the head of a leading
New York charitable organization in
need of funds in the middle Of the win
ter. Finding Mr.. Rogers busy with
mass of correspondence, and hearing
secretary remind him that he was
to attend a board meeting in Is min
utes, the hopes of the visitor fell. Sew
eral minutes went by before the cor
respondence was finished. Each tick
of the clock reduced the time for the
caller to explain his mission. Finally,
when but thee minutes remained, Mr..
Rogers received mis- visitor and cour-
teously asked the object of his call.
Il came to solicit a donation from
you," replied the other, but as you
appear to be busy this morning, per-
haps we had better wait until some
other time

PAYING $1,000 DAILY GRAFT.
stern Accusation Against "Hiah
Place" in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April THE
Bulletin publishes a statement that a
graft fund of $1,000 a week mas been
collected from the poolrooms in the
city and paid to some person or per-
sons high enough in the city admins
tration to grant protection to . the
joints. AS the papers former an
nouncement of a Chinatown graft of
$4,000 week was followed by proof
and dismissal from the service of Chief
of Police Whitman and Sergeant Ellis,
this latest protest graft story will
doubtless produce a profound effect.
The $1,000 was collected from 300
places where betting on races and open
sporting events has been in progress.
Zeke Abrams, who place was recently
raided, is declared to have paid SIS
a week for protection. Other large
poolrooms paid SIS, and the price to
cigarstands and other small places
conducting betting places, ranged as
low as SIS per week. The fund mas
been known among poolroom men as
the lawyers fund" The grand jury
is at work investigating the affair."
