ORDERED AWAY
FROM The FORT
CAPTAIN HOWARD IN ROLE
OF A PETTY MARTINEZ.
Miss Eva BelleT of Ereewater. COM
PEELED TO Leave Fort Walla Walla.
Because She viii Not Work i'm the
Home of Captain Howard-Is the
First Instance i'm the History of the
Post, of IA Civilian Being Ordered
Off the Reservation.

Because she refused to become a
servant in the home of Captain II. p.
Howard of the Fourteenth cavalry at
Fort Walla Walla, Miss Eva Beller of
Freewater, has been ordered by Cap
tain Howard, to leave the Walla Walla
post and forbidden to return under
any circumstances.
This most extraordinary order was
issued by Captain Howard yesterday
AFTERNOON, and last evening at 6
o'clock. the time specified by Captain
Howard for her departure from the
military reservation, Miss Beller left
for her home at Freewater.
But this is not the last of it.
An investigation of this autocratic
and harsh order will be ordered by
the war department and scandal of
the first class is promised.
The order Is the result of a rivalry
between the families of Captain How
ard and Lieutenant Holcomb, and is
the first instance in the history of the
post in which a civilian has been ex-
lied from the Walla Walla military
reservation.
Miss Beller is a young woman of ex-
cellent character and is a first-class
girl in every respect. but because she
refused to work in the home of Cap
tain Howard, she is forbidden to live
at the post.
The people of Walla Walla are
deeply concerned in the order as it
opens the door to unlimited license on
the part of military officers and de-
mand will be made for a thorough in
vestigation of the order of Captain
Howard.

JOINT RATES IN EFFECT
Washington Freight Rate Order Now
I'm Operation.

Walla Walla, Aug. THE state
railway commission yesterday served
on the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern, O. r. & n. and Washing
ton e. Columbia River railway, the
joint wheat rate order promulgated
by the commission.
The order becomes effective within
20 DAYS and under its provisions the
four railway companies are obliged
to interchange wheat traffic between
eastern Washington and Puget sound
points at the request of the shippers.
Find Farmers Injured.
In its findings of fact the commits
sion declares it has been established
by the evidence heard by it that wheat
is universally worth from vi to 3
cents per bushel more at Seattle and
Tacoma than at Portland, and that
those farmers living on the lines of
the o. r. & n. company in eastern
Washington are limited to the Port
land market because the O. r. & n.
runs only to Portland and refuses to
deliver wheat to the lines of the other
railroads for shipment to Puget sound,
that therefore the farmers referred to
are injured TO the extent of from y
10 cents per bushel on all wheat
they are obliged to sell.
The commission also finds, from
the testimony, that joint rates actual
ly exist between the Northern Pacific
and the Washington & Columbia iRver
Railway company, but that the other
three roads refuse to establish a joint
rate among themselves.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug. THE arbi-
tration committee of the Pan-Ameri-
can congress presented a resolution
urging all countries represented to
send to The Hague delegates instruct
ed to make every effort for a general
arbitration convention. The report
was adopted by acclamation. This is
the first great step of the congress.
The preamble expounds the princi-
pie of arbitration and points out the
fact that the congress is not the
proper place for the discussion of a
matter of such worldwide import
ance.
The method of transmitting the
resolution to The Hague is left to the
arbitration committee.

and after cutting the body up placing
1t In a trunk which she shipped from
this city to Jackson, Cal, the former
home of her husband, was sentenced
this morning to hang on October 10
at San Quentin prison.
without tremor, the slight little
woman stood, the coolest and most
collected of all in the crowded court
room, while Judge Nutter passed the
sentence. After the court proceedings
were over, Mrs Ledoux Redeemed a
bit, but after a few moments her face
resumed its usual cxpressionless ap-
pearance. After all was over Mrs.
Ledoux Joined her mother, Mrs. Mary
Head in the ante-room and throwing
her hands above her head uttered a
little cry as she rushed into her moth
er's arms. Mrs. Head sobbed, but
Mrs. LedouX shed no tears, Mrs Le-
douX was led back to jail.
This morning Attorney Farrell for
the defendant introduced more affl-
davits to show the good reputation of
the witnesses who had sworn Juror
Ritter declared during the trial thai
they intended to hang the woman.
Judge Nuttcr in denying the motion
for new trial, announced his belief
that aftiants Murphy and Smith tes-
titled falsely about Juror Ritter, and
directed the sheriff to deliver the wo-
man into the custody of the warden
of San Quentin prison within 10 days.
Mrs. LedouX was unmoved by the
sentence and sat stolidly throughout
the proceedings this morning as
though she were a mere spectator TO
the affair.
The body of McVicar was discover.
ed through the odor arising from the
trunk in the depot at Jackson An
investigation led to the arrest of Mrs.
LedouX at Antioch. Cal. and the trial
has been Dragging through the courts
for over year.
She told conflicting stories concern
ing the murder at first She said once
that McVicar took poison with suici-
dal intent. Then she said that the
poison was administered by myster-
ious Joe Miller. who was never found.
The prosecution founded its case on
the fact that she removed McVicar for
fear of proceedings for bigamy, as 1t
was claimed that she married Eugene
LedouX her present husband, before
securing a divorce from McVicar.
The case has attracted unusual at
tention throughout the country on ac
count of the brutality of the crime.
The body. of McVicar was literally
chopped into pieces to make II fit a
trunk and sent as baggage to the for
mer home of the murdered man,
where his relatives lived.

Tomorrow is the date set for the
first wheat sales day, and for the past
few DAYS the coming sale has been the
source cf much conversation among
farmers and grainbuyers alike.
Just what the day will bring forth
remains to be seen, but it is thought
by many that the present low prices,
and the fact that many are not ready
to sell yet will prevent much wheat
from being placed on the market to-
morrow.
While threshing has been on for
several weeks in some sections, there
are few who are entirely through har-
vesting and so do not yet know their
exact yields. This may prevent these
men from offering their wheat to-
morrow.
Although the price of wheat has
been down a cent for several days,
there has been some selling going on.
This has been confined almost exclu-
sively to wheat on the reservation, or
other points along the o. II. s; n. But
, little of the wheat along the w. & c..
r. has been sold.
Athena Mills Big Buy. -.
1t is reported that the Preston-Par-
ton mill at Athena purchased 100000
bushels yesterday, paying 60 cents for
club and red chaff delivered at their
mill. The wheat was from. several
different farmers in that section. !
Sale i'm Despair Building.
The sale here tomorrow will be held
in the room at the head of the STAIR
way in the Despair building. Under
the rules adopted, farmers who wish
to sell their wheat at a sales day must
furnish the secretary with a sealed
jar containing samples of the yield,
together with a statement as to the
variety and quality of the grain, ,
