ROUNDED UP SEVERAL SMALL BOYS
Youngsters Steal Sacks and Sell Them
to Junk Dealers in WaIIa
WaIIa.

officer Casey rounded up several
small boys today and compelled them
to return to the rightful owner a large
number of grain bags that had been
stolen. For several days reports have
been coming to the officers that sacks
were being stolen in the eastern end
of the city. Officer Casey began an
investigation and yesterday located
about $50 sacks that had been sold to
a junk dealer by the boys. A further
search developed the boys who were
doing the work. The officers say that
if the dealers will refuse to buy any,
thing from children it will go a long
way toward stopping the pilfering that
is being carried on extensively by
youngsters not over 10 years old in
Walla Walla.

he cannot get the statehood bill through in the form in which he brought it out of the committee and he wants to shift the responsibility for handling it to other shoulders.
 There is no prospect of the house of representatives deadlocking the bill, when it comes from the senate amend ed with the FOraker proposition It is well understood that the house leaders are content with the victory they achieved over the insurgents in the fight made when the bill came from the house committee.
 Now that the senate is about to de- eide in favor of the FOraker proposi- ton the house will accept the proposal. Representative Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations who refused absolutely to have any part in the insurgent movement, will make a motion to concur in the sen ate amendment. This will be the sig nal for more than a hundred republi- can members to come to his aid if any fight should be made on the proposal. It will also be formal notice to the house managers that it will be useless to resist the proposition, and they will in all probability gracefully submit.

BENT ON DEATH
 AN UNUSUAL WAY
A DsspOndent Man DrOwns by Hold.
 ing His Head in Wster.

East St. Louis, Feb I5.-With the greatest deliberation, F. R. Avery. treasurer of the Avery Misunderstanding company of Peoria, Illinois, today committed suicide by breaking the ice on small pond near Centerville. six miles south of here. and holding his head under the water while ne lay on the shore. Avery had last night tried to commit suicide in d hotel at Cairo. but had been prevented and a guard had been placed over him. During the night he escaped from the guard. Search for him was m vain.
 Today the passengers Ou a norta- bound Illinois Central train that stop ped at Centerville noticed a man leave the train, walk toward a little pond and lean down toward the edge after having broken the with his foot. It was presumed he intended washing his hands. as he was stooping down when the train pulled out. The matter was talked about on the train. and when: it reached here an inquiry was tele- graphed back to CenterviIle. which is merely a station.
 The agent replied that mans dead body had just been found lying by the side of the pond. Yardmaster Ben nett immediately secured a switch en- zine and went to CenterviIle and ex- amined the body. Two notes were found in the pocket. One was written or the back of a receipt and read: My dear wife:-If I am found dead. 1t is not by my own hand A tough gang has me in bad. F. T. Avery"
 The other note was scribbled on the inside of a sealed envelope addressed to J. B. Bartholomew, Peoria. There was no paper enclosed, the words be- ing written on the inside of the en- velope and read: "I am going in the river at St. Louis, February 15, 1906. F. R. Avery

Chicago, Feb. 15.-D. E. Hartwell. secretary for Swift and company and Arthur Meeker. general superintendent for Armour and company occupied the stand today in the packers case. Both gave evidence regarding the reques. of the government for information on the alleged promise of the government that it should not be used against the packers and then told of how the in formation desired by Commissioner Garfield was furnished by the packers.
 MT Mecker asserted that the govern ment at one time showed a disposition to investigate the working of the Ar mour Car company. but that when he informed Commissioner Garfield tha. Armour and company did not own cars and that they had nothing to do with the fresh meat business. no further ef- fort was made to look into the affairs of the car company.

THE DEBATE BEGINS.
It is HopelsssIy Entered Upon by Ad

Washington, D. C.. Feb. I5.-(Spe- cial)-The senate today began con- sideration of the joint statehood bill and the measure will henceforth come under the head of unfinished busi- ness until it is disposed of and Sen ator Dick of Ohio, who opened the de- bate, read his speech in low tone of voice and not more than a score of sen ators listened to him.
 His declaration that "every one ac- quainted with the facts ought to agree that without consolidation New Mex leo and Arizona are not prepared to assume the duties of state" well illus trates the narrowness of his o-caIIed argument.
 He ignored the fact that Arizona is not seeking statehood and apparently he has never heard of the Foraker amendment which symbolizes the square deal" the president so fervent- ly prayed for in his message to con gress. Dicks speech will be followed by others, engineered by MT. Beveridge and that eminent eXemplar of the square deal" as it is sought not to be praticed in connection with Ari- zona will. wind up the debate in behalf of the bill. MT. Foraker paid close at

BIGGER APPROPRIATION.
For Agricultural Experiment. Stations
 in States and Territories.

Washington. Feb. 15.-The morn ing hour" in the house today prevailed until after o'clock. The net result was the passage of a bill to increase to $30,O00 a year federal appropriation to each state and territory for the support of agricultural experiment. sta- tiOns and the bill repeating the present law granting American register to for eign ships wrecked and repaired on the American coast in the discretion of the secretary of the department of commerce and labor and requiring a special act of congress to grant such register.
 The feature of the day was the at. tempt of MT. Payne chairman of the ways and means committee, to get up his bill for the consolidation of GUS toms collection districts. A furious opposition developed and by a roll call a large majority voted against cOnsid- ering the bill. Again when the ex- pertinent station bill came up the dc- bate reverted to the Payne bill and 1t was with difficulty that it could be brought to an end
 An indirect compliment was paid te MT. Longworth by a vote to adjourn until Monday, although nothing will appear in the record of this purpose,

GERMAN MERCHANTS
 REQUEST DENIED
No Open Hearings in Cases of Con-
 tested Valuations Of Imports.

Washington, Feb. 15.-A conference at the White House today betwesu the president and merchants arPrais refusal of the application of certain importing interests to have the right of open hearings in .ases of contested valuations. This was desired by the German mer chants, and the refusal will have an important effect on the plans of the German government rela- tive to the application of the new German tariff
 Although the decision against open hearings is final, there were ether suggestions looking to the modifica- tion of some of the more stringent re- guiations of the customs service, which commended themselves strong ly to the president and Secretary Root and which have been submitted through Baron Speck Won Sternberg, ambassador of the German govern ment. At the conclusion of the con- ference at the White House, Secretary Root returned to the state department where he held an hours conference with Baron Sternberg.
 At the conference the ambassador was informed that. although 1t had been found impracticabIe to upset the present system of appraising or to permit the introduction of testimony and cross examinations at the hear ings, the Washington government was prepared to instruct it's agents in Germany to cooperate in every way with the German boards of trade and

GERMANY WAITING

Berlin, Feb. 15.-The government will go before the reichstag within three or four days with a proposal to give the United States the same treat ment under the new tariff. which be- comes operative March 1, as that giv- en to countries with whom Germany has arranged reciprocal trade treaties The precise terms of the government bill depend somewhat on the result of negotiations which are still continuing at Washington, between Ambassador Speck Won Sternberg and the state de- partment as to the notifications in the American system of invoicing and Valuing, some features of which are considered by German exporters as obnoxious.
 The position of the German govern ment is one of uncommon difficulty because both industrial and agrfcuI- tural interests have been pouring in memorials and petitions to the chan cellor and other manufacturers urg- ing the government to stand firm and not hand over to the United States for nothing privileges for which other countries have given equal return in kind.
