TODAY WAS THE ANNIVERSARY
OF DEATH OF FATHER OF
THE COUNTRY.
Thousands of People Went to Mount
Vernon to Visit the Tomb
Masons Took Wreath.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 14-To-
day is the anniversary of the death OF
George Washington and thousands O.
people went out to Mount Vernon tC
visit the tomb, where the father of tn,
country is resting. AS usual a rep
resentative of Lodge No. 4 of Masons,
of Fredericksburg, Va, and several
other prominent Masons arrived here
this morning and went to Mount YER
non, bearing a wreath OF evergreens
which they deposited on Washington's
sarcophagus on behalf of his mother
lodge. George Washington was mad,
Mason in this lodge, and the records
showing his initiation, passing and
raising, and bearing his signature to
the constitution, also the Bible on
which he was obligated, are sacredly
preserved among the treasured relics
of the lodge and are objects of great
interest to visitors to Fredericksburg.

NEW Chief ENGINEER OF THE
PACIFIC RAILWAY WILL SOON
BEGIN WORK.
w. L. Darling, Former Enaineer. Will
PROBABLY Go to Northern Pacific
First of New Year.

E. j. Pearson named to succeed w
l.. Darling as chief engineer for the
Pacific Railroad, under which name
the Milwaukee will do construction
work IN this state, will reach the Pa
clf1c coast December II to begin IA
miliarizing himself with the duties OF
his position
1t has not yet been determined when
Mr.. Darling will leave the road. but
he will probably 60 to the Northern
Pacific about January 1 to take his old
position of chief engineer. In the
meantime he will remain here to ex-
plain details of the work to Mr.. Pear
son and to close up some of the details
to which he has been giving his at
tention.
AS planned now, Mr.. Pearson will be
in charge of the engineering features
Of construction work on the Milwau-
KEGS extension west of the Dakotas.
Construction work is to be pushed
forward from the coast and the present
terminus Of the line at Evarts.
The officers Of the Pacific Railroad
headed by H. r. Williams, president
and former general manager of the
Milwaukee, will be in charge of all
the work On the west end. The line
in Washington will be built by the
Pacific Railroad and a new subsidiary
corporation may be formed to do the
construction work in Montana.
Irrespective of the organization of a
new Montana company it is under
stood Mr.. Williams will be in charge
of all work in that state 1t may be
that the line can be built under the
name of the Pacific Railroad but he
will be identified with whatever cor
poration undertakes the work. Mr..
Pearson, as chief engineer for the Pa
cific Railroad, will be with Mr.. Will
liams in this undertaking.
Mr.. Pearson will take hold of the
Milwaukee's extension with the bene-
fit of preliminary surveys before him.
With that start he will have to con-
struct the line from the coast until it
meets the crews working westward.

UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FRYE
INSTITUTES ACTION IN THE
FEDERAL COURT.
Alleged Company Has Violated Stat
ute by Not Having Safety AppIi-
ances On Its Cars.

United States Attorney Jesse A.
Frye mas started suit in Tacoma
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
to recover $500 for alleged violation of
the congressional act amended in 1903,
providing that certain prescribed safe
ty appliances shall be placed on cars
in order to protect employees and trav-
elers. 1t is alleged that the railroad
company has operated in Tacoma six
cars that are lacking in appliances
made necessary by law. The statute
provides that a fine of 500 may be in
flicted for each car thus left unpro-
tected.
the law forces railroad companies
to equip their cars with automatic
couplers and continuous brakes and
their locomotives with driving wheel
brakes
While railroad companies have been
prosecuted in this state before for al
legged violation of the safety appliance
act it has seldom been necessary to
sue for any more than one violation of
the law at time. This is said to be
the first case in Washington where a
railroad company is supposed to have
operated more than one car at time
not provided with safety brakes and
the other necessary appliances.

SKIRT NOT NECESSARY.
Kansas City Judge Declares Thes
$3.50 Affairs All Nonsense.

KANSAS. CITY. Dec. 14.-Judge
Gates, in the circuit court, today rend-
cred judicial decision to the effect,
that a silk skirt is not an article OF
chases one, her husband is not bound
to pay for it, The decision was rend-
cred in the case of the American Out
fitting company against Carleton King.
Mrs. King is a regular customer Of the
Quitting company and runs bill. A
few months ago she purchased silk
skirt for $780, and as usual, had it
charged. When the bill came in, her
husband objected to the skirt item and
refused to pay for it. The Quitting
company after trying in vain to collect
the bill, brought suit. King set up that
as the skirt was not an article of ne
cessity he was not bound to pay for it,
and Judge Gates upheld his contention,
rendering judgment for him and tax
ing the costs against the Quitting
company.
NO one need tell me-" declared the
Judge, that silk skirts that cost $3.50
are a necessity to any woman. My
wife finds it is possible to live COM
fortably and happily, and even to &C
out into society with skirts that cos
So apiece This idea of woman hav-
ing to tog herself out in silks and sat-
ms and frippery is all foolishness. II
her husband wants her to have such
things and is willing to pay for them,
it is all right, but when she buys them
charged to his account will not be a
party to the holdup by forcing him &c
pay for them"

ADJUSTMENTS

Many attended the Keylor Grand
last evening to see the Empire Theatre
company play the Diamond Robbery
Among those who were present none
left the theatre disappointed, for the
Diamond Robbery as played last
night BY Col Caven's clever artists
proved a meritorious performance from
the rising to the fall of the curtain.
In the Diamond Robbery many in
teresting dramatic situations are de-
veloped In the play the we'll dressed
but double dyed villain attempts much
work of a nefarious nature. Others,
however, more we'll meaning, are also
on hand to defeat his wicked plans.
But those VINO want to see the right
thing done have hard task of it and
it is not until the close of the last
act that the devil in human form has
his career brought to an end and the
police officer is called in to do mis- du-
ty. The play has plenty Of comedy,
too, and the occasions for a hearty
laugh are not infrequent.

GERMAN BACHELORS FEW.
Spinsters, Too, Have Decreased il
Numbers of Late.

BERLIN, Dec. lin an elaborate
statistical examination DR.. Printing
writing in the Zeitschrift Fur Social
Wissenschraft, declares that it is not
true that the proportion of old maids
and old bachelors is increasing in Eu-
ropean countries. One is perpetually
told by writer's, especially those repre-
senting the advanced woman's move
ment, that marriage is decreasing, and
the unmarried persons relatively in
creasing. AS matter of fact this is
only the case in Sweden, France and
Ireland. In Germany the number OF
bachelors steadily decreases, and only
in certain limited areas can any
increase of old maids be certified.

..oe7 OF WHITMAN STUDENTS TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
VACATION.
,.batino Is the Leading Topic at Col
Lone This Week-Preparation for
Two Contests.

This is a busy week at Whitman
c+rdents are making plans to go home
Cor the holidays during the Christmas
vacation which begins a week from to-
dow Nearly all the students will en-
hraca the opportunity to- forsake the
oamnus with it's hard work and good
time for a week. Only handful of
s+ndents will remain in the two dormi-
tories 1t is probable that only ten
bovs will be at Billings while the num-
her of girls to stay at Reynolds will be
even smaller Study work is rushing
because many of the teachers are run
ming in quizzes to see how the students
stand before the holidays.
Debate the Thing.
Debate has the floor at the college
this week Both the coming inter-
scholastic debate with the Walla Wal
IA high school on Friday evening and
the debate between the Athenaeum and
phremakosmian societies on next
Tuesday night are subjects of absorb
ing speculations between the students.
The try-out promises to be one Of
the hardest fought forensic contests
ever held at Whitman. Every one of
the contestants is an old debater and
the fight for the three places on the
P. L. team will be a hard one. Be-
sides this the rivalry between the So
ceties is very keen and already root
ing has been begun by jealous par
. tisans for their respective teams.
Gymnasium Class.
Director Everett ]. Smith has be-
gun the organization of classes in the
gymnasium work for both the boys and
the girls The girls will be formed
into classes in light gymnastics while
the boys will be likewise divided and
be put through stunts on the bars, the
horse, etc, on Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons. A fine silver cup has been
donated by DR.. Hall of Spokane to
the boy and girl getting the highest
credit in this work and this will slim
ulate keen competition in the work.
Getting New Members.
A unique scheme for getting all stu
dents to join the Associated student
body was set on foot by President
Louis c. Sutherland yesterday. He
called a meeting of all the class presi
dents of both college and academy and
appointed them as solicitors to bring
into line those members of their re-
spective classes who were not already
members of the association. On jan
uary - a public announcement will be
made of the percentage of students in
each class who belong. 1t is expected
that class pride will result in bringing
nearly all the students into the Orga
nlzation which runs all forms of stu
dent activity.

in Regular Session.

The members of the recently organ

hood of Carpenters and Joiners, will
meet this evening in regular session.
Among other matters which will come
up before the meeting will be the ques-
ton of affiliation with the Tri-City La
hOr Congress. Ii is doubtful whether
the union will 50 vote, as members of
the tri-city union, woodworkers, many
of whom are now members of the new
organization, opposed the appointment
of the business agent by the labor con-
gress, ON the grounds that the increase
in the per capita tax was not Justified
by the results to be obtained. 1t is
however. that a number of
this who opposed the appointment of
a business agent have changed their
opinions since Mr.. Herges' reports
have shown the value of this officer,
and a contest on the proposition is ex-
pected.
