PASSED SAWS TO PRISONERS
That He Had Helped In the
JaiIbreak.

William Perry, arrested at the fair
grounds during race week by Sheriff
Til Taylor of Umatilla county, pleaded
guilty at Pendleton yesterday to a
charge of aiding several prisoners in
escaping from the Pendleton Jail last
summer
Perry admitted that he passed into
the Jail several saws which the priso-
ners used in cutting the iron bars in
the windows. Perry duplicates Alfred
Jones, a pal who is being held at Pen
dleton on the charge of aiding priso-
ners to escape.
After the Pendleton Jail break, Per-
ry came to Walla Walla to take in the
races. He was captured at the fair
grounds and returned to Pendleton.

chase of an additional lot upon which
the engine house and appurtenances
should be erected.
Room On the First Floor.
There would be room on the first
floor for eight offices besides the coun-
Gil chambers which would be ample
for the next 10 years and the CONNER
cial club could use the second story
until the city needed it.
He outlined strongly the objections
to having such quarters above stable
saying that the stencil in the summer
time would make it very disagreeable.
That as to the matter of cost the
two buildings could be erected for the
same price as the three-story struct-
ure and the price of the lot would be
the only difference. That if necessary
the two buildings could be erected for
from s5O, 900 to 100000 if cheap mate
rials were used.
An offer from James Dacres to sell
the adjoining so feet west of the pres
ent site for $13,5OO was read. Mr.. Os-
terman reported that this would give
enough room for the engine house and
space from 10 to IS feet wide in
between which would give ample light
for all the offices.
The proposition seemed to meet the
hearty SllppOrt of the cOuncilmen. Four
of them were called on separately for
their opinions by the mayor.

Domineering big Stick"
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-The at
tack on the people of California by
the president for California's attitude
on the Japanese school question is a
surprise even to members of the
board of education who expected to
be criticised but not SO bitterly de-
rlOunced. 1t is their bell thu the
attack is inspired by President Wheel
er of the University of California.
Wheeler has been in Washington
since the question developed and is
known to have had an interview with
the president. Prominent men of San
Francisco are almost unanimous in
resenting the presidents words. The
press throughout the state takes the
same attitude.

Adiutant General Ortis Hamilton is
in the city today for the purpose of or

in conference with leading members of
the Spanish American War veterans
and other interested persons at the Of
flee of City Clerk Hart this afternoon
The general stated this morning that
it was the plan to hold a competitive
examination for captain to the new
company in about a month. 1t is hoped
that two or more will take part in the
examination which will be quite
thorough one comprising not only the
latest tactics but the common English
branches as well.
1t is planned to give notice of
month or two before the examination
will likely enter will have opportunity
to study up on the new tactics 1t is
desired to favor the veterans as much
as possible in the contest for the cap

This will allow ample time to get
the company organized in time for the
next apportionment which is made on
April l. The examination will be held
in Walla Walla but will be passed
on by the state officers. AS soon as the
captain is chosen he is given instruc-
tions to organize a company of 40

Among those talked of for captain
are T. D. S. Hart, Monks Goodwin and
urged to take the captaincy but refuses
because he is too busy.

House was rung up and coaXed from
his beslippered evening ease to help

of two debonair youths trying to solve
the mysteries of a maiden's at
tire was an edifying one. But they
succeeded so we'll that only one trip
back had to be made with a garment
which did not fit. When the wardrobe
was pronounced complete it was too
late for the wedding and so it was
decided to take the chances of wait
ing until another dawn.
Father Loeff1er was aroused early
this morning and performed the cere-
mony and at 9 o'clock the happy
couple had a nice little wedding break

AS a Man Wipeth a Dish.

tic service, having been shang-
haied under false pretense.
1t appears that this man was
besought by the wife of his
bosom to wipe the dishes, and
when he had answered this I'M
reasonable request 10 suitable
terms the preverse woman then
brought out the holy scripture
to show him that the wiping of
dishes is a mans proper vocation.
She cited him to ii Kings, xxi,
ID, wherein the Lord, speaking
by his servants, the prophets,
says: sand ! will stretch over
Jerusalem the line of Samaria
and the plummet of the house of
Ahab; and | will wipe Jerusa-
lem as a man wipeth a dish,
wiping it, aud turning it upside
down"
We do not opine that this is a
case for rescue expedition or
any violent measures, for a man
may wipe dishes and still live,
although it is rather hopeless
and subdued existence. A man
who wipeth a dish or two and
turneth the same upside down,
under the shade of his own fia
tree in the shank of the evening,
is at better business than he who
goeth to the tavern where he
turneth several dishes upside
down and wipeth his mustache
and playeth pinocle.
But, at the same time, let us
keep the records straight. The
verse quoted from the Second
book of Kings said nothing
about man in the original. Il

Persistent Smuggler Giving the
French Authorities Trouble.

The customs authorities on the
Franco-Swiss frontier are in des-
pair concerning Mile. Martha
Rey, pretty woman who has
adopted wholesale smuggling as
a pastime.
Mile. Rey, who is only "a years
Of age, and wealthy, lives at
Driye, a frontier village in a
charming villa left her by her
late father, who was reputed to
be a French millionaire,
firing of home life, Mile. Rey
decided that smuggling was the
most exciting diversion she
could find. Tobacco, charm
and snuff were very dear in
Haute Savoie, and very cheap in
Geneva. 1t was easy to fill her
Az morse power motor car with
contraband in Switzerland and
then dash across the frontier,
selling it at enhanced prices, and
giving the proceeds to the poor.
At first the scheme was highly
satisfactory. Mile. Rey had
several narrow escapes from cap
ture by the customs inspectors,
but this only added to the at
traction of the enterprise. On
one occasion she was closely pur-
sued by indignant French Off
Gals, but her car out-distanced
them, and the contraband eX-
changed hands before they re-
covered the trail.
Misfortune came with a new
chauffeur, however. The former
one, middle-aged man-became
crippled with rheumatism il
consequence of his frequent
night journeys across the from

ed. He was not expert in The

wfpeth dish.' But the English
idiom requires subject for the
verb, so that the translators put
in the word "man" where the
Hebrew had nothing. They
could just as well have said
woman" and the only reason
why they didn't, probably, was
that they wanted to signify do
ing a good job of it.
We don't really care whether
that Florence man keeps on
wiping dishes or not, but, with
the meddlesome disposition com
mon to humanity, we should like
to inform him that he is being
bamboozled.
