tempted whitewashing of Mutual

was member of the Mutua's self
investigating committee and when
he sought to lay bare the rotten
ness Of the management of the
company he was opposed by Presi-

The American entries for the
balloon race for the Bennett cup, to
be held in France this year, are
closed, and instead of three con-
testants, as originally planned, the
United States will only be repre-
scented by two contestants. Lieut..
Frank s. Lahm, U. S. A., and M.
Santos Dumont, now in France,
both experienced aeronauts, have
been selected. DR.. Julian P. Thorn
as, an enthusiastic member of the
Aero club of America, made a de-
termined effort to become the third
American representative in the
race, but his entry was declined by
Messrs. Post and Bishop, the mem
bers of the committee on American
entries. DR.. Thomas offered to
have a balloon of $4,000 cubic feet
built for the race and was exceed
ingly anxious to be selected, but
his entry was rejected after care
full consideration on the ground
that there would not be enough
time for DR.. Thomas to get in prac-
tice and ready for the race, as he
is not an experienced aeronaut.

Principal Cloyd of the Spokane
high school has won his fight
against the fraternity men and a
new athletic organization will be
organized On Friday afternoon. The
recent fight against fraternity boys
has placed athletics at the high in
q critical condition. The boys be-
longing to the secret organizations
will not be allowed to represent the
school, although about half the
athletes in the school are fraternity
boys.
On Friday an entirely new organ
ization will be formed and non
members of fraternities will try to
represent the Spokane high in a
proper manner.
Last year about half the track
team belonged to fraternities and
the recent blow struck by Principal
Cloyd injured athletics to such an
extent that it will take a year or
more to overcome.
