WITH COUNCIL POSING AS AUT0CRACY
Judge Upton Championed Cause of Wide Open Town
Adherents in VitriOliC Speech to Council
Personal Conflict Narrowly Averted
In Chamber

William H. Upton, eX-judge of the
Walla Walla superior court, in a five
minute speech, in which he warmly
championed the cause Of the wide
open town adherents, told the council
last night that the moral policy be-
ing pursued is meeting with the pro-
found disapproval of conservative bus
mess men of Walla Wala. In Lewis,
Clark and Whitman precincts he said
every man capable of thinking was
highly outraged and the good will
that thinking citizens had toward ev-
cry member Of the council was flying
away as the arrow from the bow.
The judge likened the common citi-
zens to the Jews in Russia with the
council posing as the autocracy of
that benighted empire.
IT'S a fact" Mr.. Upton declared,
warming up to his subject, that since
the council ordered saloons closed on
Sunday there has been more drunk
enness in Walla Walla On Sundays
than for years past. Young men take
their bottles of gin and beer to their
rooms, to dives or to the club. 1t was
unjust to revoke those saloon licenses
and it looks to me as if it was nothing
more or less than a political move"
Judge Upton's remarks were oc-
casioned by the slot machine ordi-
nance which was under considera-
ton at the time and nearly prov
voked a personal encounter between
proprietor Of the Upton cigar store,
and Councilman Bridges, who took ex-
ception to several statements made.
The slot machine ordinance had just
passed it's first reading when Judge
Upton asked permission to address the
council. The judge preceded his SEN
sational remarks by expressing his
warm friendship IOT every HleHlDeT Ol
the council. This he followed up with
vitriolic statements in which he criti-
cized every move made by the
council the past month to clear the
moral atmosphere of Walla Walla.
Son Says Gambling Going On.
Following Judge Upton, his son,
William, took the floor and asked why
it was that the council did not in
vestigate gambling resorts now be-
ing run wide open. He made the
startling statement that in several
places poker games were in full blast
and that hundreds Of dollars were
piled up On tables in plain view.
Bridges, who was cnafing under the
fire of criticism, lost his temper, and
springing up asked Upton to tell Of a
single place where gambling was be-
ing conducted. Mr.. Upton declined,
stating that it was the councils busi-
ness to investigate such things. He
insinuated that the councilman from
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-01-03

the first ward spent too much time
shaking hands with the preachers in
stead of investigating violations of
the laws, which could easily be found
if a search were made.
Personal Conflict Averted.
Personal remarks between Bridges
forth when Judge Upton remarked
that ne would throw Councilman
Bridges out Of the window. Mayor
Hunt vainly raped for order as the
belligerents prepared for battle.
Bridges rose out of his seat and
started for the judge, when Policeman
Rolf, who was standing close by, rush
ed conflict The whole room was in
an uproar for a minute at the pros
pect of an encounter.
The remarks made by Judge Upton
were severely criticized by members
of tae council. Gaining permission to
address the council, the judge said
that If he had said anything offensive
that he apologfzed, although ne was
still of the opinion that the council
was making a mistake on the moral
question.
After quiet had been resumed the
council took up and passed the slot
machine ordinance. The new measure
goes into effect within five days, Mayor
Hunt signing the new ordinance last
night, at the request Of Councilman
Glasford.
New Licenses Issued.
Councilman Kirkman took to the
woods on the saloon question and
voted with Bachtold, Mexican and
Martin to grant saloon licenses to the
Elk, Louvre and Idle Hour saloons.
which were closed by order of the
council. The petition for a license for
the Elk saloon, filed by John Bachtold,
was the first one brought up and
brought out fierce opposition from
Bridges, Glasford and Cox. Kirkman
explained his vote by saying that the
council was now working under an
ordinance by which if the saloon men
were not good the council was in a po-
sition to make them good. Kirkman
said if he ever voted again to revoke
a saloon mans license that ne would
never vote to give MIN another.
Bridges notified the council that it
would first be necessary for the sa-
loonmen who were granted licenses to
gain the consent of property owners
$50 feet on either side of their places
before opening up. The license for
the Louvre was issued to F. A. Dryden
and for the Idle Hour to George Mot
tet, who stated in a communication to
the council that ne was negotiating for
the purchase of the building and sa-
loon

DENIES THAT He WAS 0UTGENERALED

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.-Novoe
Vremya today prints statement at
tributed to Admiral Rojestvensky,
saying:
"At the battle of Tsuhima the Brit
ish squadron at Wei Hei Wei had or
ders to attack the Russian fleet in the
event Of Japanese defeat"
The minister of war has issued an
order forbidding the officers of the
army from joining any kind of po-
litical union.
The admiraTs declaration is in let
ter published with the permission OF
TIE minister of marine. From Rojest-
vensky's article the reader is almost
convinced that the Russian admiral
outgeneraled and outmaneuvered Togo
and was the real victor. He say he
knew where Togo was two days before
the battle and made the disposition Oh
his ships accordingly. The letter Gre
ated a sensation and is likely to be
the subject Of diplomatic representa-
tions by Great Britain.
The generals and admirals are fight
ing among themselves. General Ayno-
bazeff is arrayed against Kuropatkin,
General Batansoff against General
Kaulbars and Admiral Rojestvensky
against Admiral Birileff. Letters de-
| nouncing each other fill columns of
the press. IBirileff is charged with hav-
| ing disposed of all his Russian mold
| ings and with having bought German
| having demanded gold when he drew
over a million and a quarter from the
banks, thus hurting the national cred
it. The revolutionists demand to know
where Kuropatkin got So much money,
when his salary was only $4,000
la year. The czar is glad the dignitar-
ies are fighting because it shows him
| the truth, alCnOuSn IL strengthens the
revolutionists.
The council of workingmen has de-
cided to celebrate "red Sunday" Janu-
ary %, in memory of the dead They
propose to stop al business and pre-
vent the operations of the street cars
and railroads and declare political
strike for two days.

graphs that despite the declaration by

lists have been arrested. he knows by

Orr Succeeds Mccall.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The resigna-
ton of John A. Mccall, president of
the New York Life, was rendered and
accepted by the board this afternoon.
Alexander Orr was elected to succeed
Mccall, at a salary of $4,000 a year.
The boad passed no resolution of
regret on the resignation of Mccall nor
resolution commencing his work. Ac-
cording to the changed bylaws there
will only be two presidents here
after. Darwin Kingsley becomes the
senior and Thomas Bucknew the junior
vice president.
The designations of Richard A. and
Robert H. McCurdy as trustees of the
Mutual were accepted this afternoon.
McCalls letter of recommendation
says:
Il have been in the life insurance as
a clerk, state or company official for 4C
years and president for IA years. The
progress of the company has been as
tOnishing. My work was well done. :
made mistakes which were seen easily
after events developed the situation. 1t
is impossible to be unerring always.
My mistakes seem perhaps greater tc
me than to any critic. My consolation
comes from the unprecedented achieve
ments Of the company and the know
ledge that no officer or trustee profit
ed improperly during that time to the
extent of one dollar at the expense of
the policyholders."

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. BIN the leg
islature today after Governor Higgins
message was read the municipal own
ership league introduced a bill provid-
ing permission for New York city to
buy, construct and operate gas and
electric lighting plants and street
railways, to be paid for by selling
public service certificates.
Higgins message says that the prob
lem of state regulation of insurance is
how to curb, not to kill, how to pre-
serve, not tear down. He told the leg
islators that they are called upon to
make a radical revision of the law for
the benefit of investors in life insur-
ance and for the regulation and re-
straint of the companies. He says pol
icies should be of standard form tc
eradicate the abuses arising from am
biguity and incompleteness of con-
tract. He demands that full publicity
be assured.
Concluding Higgins declared that if
this legislature failed to pass an in
:Su-arce law drastic but practicable,
radical but sane, in spirit courageous,
but not hysterical, it will fail to meet
the expectations of those who have
confidence in the ability of popu-
lar government to solve it's own prob
lens.
Senator Bracket introduced a reso-
luton requesting Senator Depew tc
resign forthwith on account of disclos
ures in the insurance scandals and de-
claring that the public has lost con-
f1dence in the senator's ability and in
tegrity.

ate into an uproar. In the end he
withdrew the measure with the under
standing that it was to be put in later
