SUNDAY PASTIME AT

Norfolk, Va, August 5.-(Special) THE
usually vexatious problem. of Sunday OPP
ening at an exposition has been definitely
settled and eliminated very early In the
case of the jamestown exposition. near
Norfolk. which will open on the 26th Of
next April. The gates will be closed on
Sundays.
The board of governors of the exposi-
ton. as early as May 10 last, recommend
ed to the directors that the exposition be
closed on Sundays, and this recommended
ton was adopted on the 18th of the same
month, before any official request from
the state of Virginia or from the United
States government had been received. The
agreement, provided for in the act of
Congress, appropriating funds for par
ticipation in the jamestown exposition
which was signed by the exposition Of
fieials and by the Secretary of the Treas
ury few days ago. was merely formal
ratification of the action taken by the
board of governors of the fair.
Church Two Centuries Old.
The Sunday closing arrangement ap-
pears TO be satisfactory to all classes. For
Norfolk and her sister cities afford ample
opportunity, their churches of the va
rious denominations being supplied with
able pastors. Several of these church cdi-
fees possess much of historic interest. St.
Pauls Episcopal church. in NorfolS, is
one of the most interesting structures in
America. 1t was built nearly 200 years
ago and has been a place of continuous
worship by the devout Virginians through
colonial revolutionary and civil war
times to the present. The church itself
bears the grim marks of war. On New
Years day, 1T6, the very year ct the
Declaration of Independence, L cannon
ball fired from a ship of the British Lord
was lodged in the brick wall high up
under the caves. This cannot oall remains

joyed, on the waters of Hampton Roads

visitor may reach many famous summer
resorts, including Old Point Comfort
Newport News. Pine Beach, Virginia

the vicinity afford unequaled opportunity
to inspect and study these institutions of
universal interest.
The exposition itself. on six days Of T.

but all these outlying features are In
cluded in the greater exposition. and the
Sunday closing of the fair will expand
rather than limit the opportunities for
sightseeing in 1907.

Saq Salmon Unable to Pass Dam
at Nine Mile Bridge.
GAME WARDEN WILL INVESTIGATE
FISH BY THE THOUSAND SWIM IN
BIG POOL BELOW DAM, UN-
ABLE TO PASS ON.

Thousands of salmon on their way
to the spawning beds on the head
waters of the Walla WalIa river are
unable to pass the dam constructed at
Nine Mile bridge by the Columbia IL
rigation company and some action will
probably be taken by Game Warden
Ritz to compel the company to install
an improved fish ladder. The com
pany when it built the dam put in a
ladder that met with the approval OF
the state fish commissioner, but. ac-
cording to Walla Wallans who have
visited the dam, the salmon are I'M
able to mount the ladder and the COM
pany will be required to put in a new
model that will permit the fish to con-
tinue on their way up stream.
John Berg who spent Monday at
Nine Mile bridge said yesterday that
the Walla Walla river at the dam is
literally alive with salmon. The fish
make herculean efforts to scale the
dam but very few are able to make
the leap. Residents along the river
claim that if instructions are allowed
in the stream Walla Walla river as a
fishing stream will soon become nil.
The Walla Walla for years has been
the only stream in the Inland empire
that has afforded Walla Walla fisher
men any sport at all, but owing to the
numerous irrigation companies taking
water from the river it is rapidly de-
teriorating as trout stream.

= WHITMAN COLLEGE NOTES. =

With a score of Is to Is the SOphO-
mOres yesterday afternoon pulled their
game out of the fire at the last moment
and put the Freshies in the background
on the basketball court. The contest
was one of the hottest ever held in the
gymnasium, the enmity between the
classes squirting the players to do their
best while from the sidelines enthusi
astic rooters alternately cheered and
held their breath. Clever goal throw
ing by Davenport in the last few min
utes of play won the game.
To vote on the revised constitution
the Associated Students met this after
noon at o'clock. The only change
offered to the form made by the execu-
tive committee was an amendment pro-
viding that no person could hold two
offices. A hot debate on this was ex-
pected.

John Hi|derbrand, Pal Of Murderer,
Made Confession Yesterday.
SAYS HE WAS ONE WHO FIRED FATAL SHOT
SYNOPSIS OF STATEMENT TELE.
eRAPHED GOVERNOR, BUT HE
REFUSED TO INTERFERE.

In an effort to save Kid White
from the gallows John Hilderbrand,
partner of the youthful murderer in
the holdup of John Conway's saloon in
Seattle when Mathew Murphy, the
aged teamster, was shot and killed,
yesterday confessed to Warden KEGS
that it was he, instead of White, who
fired the shot that ended in Murphy's
death. Hilderbrand's confession was
taken down by a shorthand reporter in
the presence of Warden KEGS and an
other witness and synopsis of the
convict's statements telegraphed to
Governor Mead. The executive, how
ever, after reading the confession, de-
clined to interfere in Whites case and
so notified Warden KEGS late yesterday
afternoon by telegraph.
Convict Says He Shot Murphy.
Hilderbrand stated that the night of
the holdup he and White visited Con-
in the saloon when he and White enter
ed. At the command to throw up their
hands some of the men in the saloon
were not quick enough to act and
Hilderbrand said he fired a shot over
the mems heads Murphy, Hilder-
brand claimed, turned and started
toward them as if to put up a fight
when he O1ilderbrand) shot him
through the body. From the position
in which White was standing, Hilder-
brand alleged he could not have fired
the shot that killed Murphy. Hilder-
brand said he did not know why White
confessed that he shot Murphy. Hilder-
brand says that during the holdup he
One of Whites shots struck the bar
and the other the floor.
Hiderbrand Planned Whole Thing.
Hilderbrand claimed that he was the
one who planned the Conway holdup
part in it. He said he met White in
saloon in Tacoma and concluded that
he was the fellow he needed in his
business. On the night of the Conway
holdup Hilderbrand claimed that White
was not aware what was up or that
there was to be any shooting.

State Supreme Court Decides III
Their Favor.
AGAINST A LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
-CHILDREN WILL GET
MONEY.

James Morgan and Kate Ryan, of
Walla Walla, heirs of the late Bridget
Ryan, have won their suit in the state
supreme court, which has been pending
about three years.
October 3, 1898, Mrs. Ryan died in
Walla Walla. About a year prior to
policy in the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company. After she
had been buried the required proofs
of her death were prepared and filed
with the officers of the insurance COM
pany and a demand made for the pay
ment of the $500 pledged in the policy.
The company refused to pay, claiming
that during the life of the policy Mrs.
Ryan had failed to make the premium
payments at the specified time called
for in the contract Suit was then in
stituted in the superior court and on
trial jury awarded a verdict in favor
of the Ryan heirs. The insurance COM
pany filed a motion for a new trial,
which, after being considered by Judge
Brents, was Overruled. An appeal was
taken to the state supreme court,
which yesterday rendered a decision
affirming the decision of the lower
court The supreme court finds that,
although the cOmpany's rules required
the payment of premiums in advance,
yet it invariably accepted premiums
paid when past due, and therefore it
could not repudiate the respondents
death claim on that ground.
