FOUND CHILD IN CONVENT.
Father Locates Daughter I'm North
Yakima Catholic School.

North Yakima, oct. 3.-There is a
young girl in the Catholic school OF
this city who is known as Miss Viola
Clark. Her real name is Viola Camp
bell. and she is the daughter of w. A.
Campbell, well known and wealthy
designer and mechanical engineer OF
Seattle. Viola Campbell is IA years
of age. She has been In the school in
this city less than nine months. Her
mother lives at Mabton.
Nine years ago Mr.. Campbell and
his wife separated, and We're divorced.
Mr.. Campbell knew nothing about
the whereabouts of his divorced wife
and her daughter, and had not seen
them for nine years. While in the city
he accidentally learned that his daugh-
ter was in the Catholic convent here.
He imme diately went to the school
and inquired for her, but the sisters,
knowing nothing about the man,
were not inclined to give him any in
formation. After obtaining the influ-
ence OF some OF his friends in this
city, he was permitted to see his child.
The meeting between the father and
daughter Nwas pathetic. Each recog-
'nized the other.

BOY SHOT TO SAVE PARENTS.
Tragedy I'm Colorado Results In Death
of Wealthy Farmer.

Fort Collins, Col, Oct. 3.-To save
the lives of his father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Williams, the
latter of whom had already been as
saulted with an ak, Sherman Will
liams, aged Is years, last night shot
and instantly killed Joel Clark, a
wealthy land owner near wellington.
So justifiable did the killing Of Clark
appear to Sheriff McCreary that he
refused to place the lad under arrest.
The tragedy took place on a ranch
owned by Clark, two miles east of
Wellington, occupied by Williams as
a tenant. 1t is said that Clark coveted
the magnificent crop raised this year
by Williams and that he had been try
ing to pick a quarrel with him and
threatening his life for the past six
weeks. Clark occupied a small house
on the ranch and of late had been
finding fault with Williams as to the
management of the place and treat
ment of the growing crops.

At the council meeting tonight the
problem of repairing theslevee will be
up again and It is hoped some bids
for the work will be presented. That
such will be the case was declared to-
day by Councilman Hinkle, chairman
OF the levee committee.
"The contractors have gotten their
feet wet now, and they are not as
afraid of the job as they WERE" de-
clared that alderman. '"They have
found out that there is some money to
be made from the work and that aside
from the work of excavating for the
concrete foot wall there is little risk
TO be run"
"In excavating for the foot wall the
work will likely be done by the city,
as the work Is so scattering that II
would be difficult to measure the
same. But the work on the embank-
ment and riprapping can be let to
contractors"
In the opinion OF Mr.. Hinkle 1t will
be easier to secure men to work from
now on and he declares that the levee
will be properly repaired before an
other high water.
Ever since Monday a crew of men
and about 90 teams have been en-
ployed by the city on work below the
Main street bridge. In order to make
the Walters mill race capable of car
rying off the water of the river so as
TO allow of work on the levee the race
was deepened and strengthened at

SALoONMEN ARRESTED.
Walla Walla VIII Punish Sunday Law
ViOlatOrs.

Walla Walla, Oct. 3.-lnformation
charging Is Walla Walla saloon men
with having violated the Sunday clos
ing law by keeping their saloons open
September 16, was filed with City
Clerk Hart by Chief of Police Brown
this morning.
The charges are similar to those
filed against the four saloonmen
whose licenses were revoked at last
Tuesday nights council meeting.
While rumors have been current
for several days that Chief Brown
would follow up the crusade started
last week by filing charges against
saloonmen alleged to have openly vio-
lated the Sunday closing law Septem-
Der 16, many of the saloon keepers
hoped that by agreeing to observe the
law in the future, proceedings would
be dropped.

Scheme 10 Reduce Population of
York CITY,

New York, Oct. 3.-An exhibitio
was begun today by the Educational
alliance in the Alliance building, the
unique object of which is to reduce
the population of New York and to
point out the advantages of other
cities over the metropolis as places of
residence for large class of immi-
grants. Jewish Life on Farms" and
Life in Smaller Cities" are the chief
features of the exhibition. There are
pictures of hundreds of farms culti-
waited by Jews and these and other
pictures of neat homes and roomy
work shops In small cities will serve,
1t is hoped, to lure the sweatshop la
borers from their undesirable sur
roundings. The alliance has about
exhausted its funds in sending immi-
grants to rural districts and the pic
lures are intended to show the results
of their work.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Several Subjects Cause Division In the
Conference.

Berlin, Oct. 3.-The wireless tele-
graph conference has brought here
Signor Marconi and representatives of
all the various telegraph interests
from all parts of the globe. Marconi
is expected to take a most prominent
part as Is also Sunkichi Kimura, who
is accused by the Slaby-Aroo company
of having appropriated the general
Slaby-Aroo ideas for the Japanese
government. The Marconi company
makes this same charge against the
Japanese company. There are also
various other matters in dispute and
much diplomacy will be required to
prevent an open breach. One of the
principal objects sought to be at
tanned by the convention was a uni
formity of the various systems and
their operations and signals so that
the entire globe might be harmoni-
ously covered by one homogeneous
system.
