ADAMS FIRE STARTED BY TRAMP
John Bannister Has Considerable
Wheat Damaged by Fire and
Water in Blaze.

The fire at Adams Wednesday night
which destroyed the elevator of the
Pacific Coast Elevator company and
several adjoining buildings, together
with much wheat, was started, citizens
believe, by tramp, who had sought
refuge in the elevator building to spend
the night Nearly 5000 sacks of wheat
belonging to John Bannister and stored
in a warehouse adjoining the elevator
was badly damaged by smoke and
water Mr.. Bannister's loss will be
considerable, as he carried no insur-
ance on the wheat.
The elevator has not been In use for
some time and was practically empty
of wheat at the time of the fire AS
soon as the alarm was given the volun-
teer fire department responded and by
splendid work saved number of other
warehouses in the vicinity that were
stored with wheat. The damage to the
buildings burned is placed at $4,000.

JOHN HOOK HANGED TODAY
CONTINUED from First page.)

Pending a decision no procedure was
taken in the jail
Judge Lands denied the writ. Hoch
declared he would not go to the gall
lows and that he would resist with
physical violence. He refused to lose
confidence. He was cheerful and said
that as long as there is life there is
hope, but he told the jailer he was pre-
pared for death or a sudden reprieve
He would not deny nor affirm any
stories about his history. He said he
had heard indirectly from his aged
father within few days, but his sire
did not know of his trouble and would
never learn. He spent much time with
spiritual advisers of various denomina.
tions including the Catholic, although
he claimed to be a Lutheran.
Another Fight Made.
Just as preparations for the reading
of the death warrant were completed
Attorney Commerford appeared on the
scene waving an appeal bond, duly
signed and demanding a further stay
of execution. The appeal was from
the decision of Judge Lands denying
writ of habeas corpus.

last move and appeared for advice to
the states attorney and his assistants
Hoch ordered dinner. He ate heartily,
enjoying every morsel. He was the
only man in the prison not agitatea.
Death Warrant Read.
At 12:15 o'clock the death warrant
was read to the prisoner When told
that the writ had been denied he lost
all his calm demeanor and with as
surance declared he would fight for his
life. However, he listened to the
death warrant calmly.

vice of the states attorney, decided to
delay no longer and to proceed i'm
mediately with the execution.

On the gallows Hoch said: Il want

H0N0R|NG KEATS MEMORY
Literary Societies in England
Celebrating The Day.
WAS ENGLAND'S GREATEST POET
FOR MANY YEARS HAS BEEN
UNCERTAINTY AS TO TIME
OF HIS DEATH.

LONDON, Feb. 23-Literary socie-
ties throughout England are celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the death OF
john Keats, the great English poet
who died in Rome, on February 90
1921. For many years there was great
uncertainty as to the exact date of
Keats death. 1t was given by differ
'ent sources as the q, the % and the
23rd of February and the hour as the
early morning, II in the forenoon, and
about four in the afternoon. The rec
ord of "early morning of the 2Sth'' is
obviously a mistake arising from mis-
apprehension of the significance of
S;evern's Eve of Death" sketch-a
confusion of January % and February
%. The mistake as to the 27tn is due
to the date at the head of Severn's
famous fragmentary letter to Armit-
gone" written four days subsequent
to the death of Keats The inscription
on the house in the Piazza di Spagna
in Rome mentions February "a and
the same date is engraved on the
tombstone. But there seems no rea-
sOnable doubt that this is simply the
date of the registration of death.
Keats died in Severn's arms, and
Severn's statement, twice repeated in
eXtant letters written at the time is
explicit. The death summons" he
wrote, happened about half-past
four on the AFTERNOON of Friday, the
23rd" and then followed the poignant
and narrowing details. Again in his
fragmentary letter to Brown On Tues
day the 9th, he writes: "On the 23d,
Friday, at half-past four, the approach
of death came on increased until
eleven at night when he gradually
sank into death, so quiet that I still
thought he slept" From this it ap-
pears beyond doubt that Keats died
shortly after eleven o'clock at night
on February %, 1921. Keats was born
in London in 1896

Are Your Children Thin, Puny and
Aiing? If So, Read This.
Vinol will make children strong,
robust and rosy or we return your
money
Is there a mother in Walla Walla
who will ignore such a generous offer
as this? You risk not one cent. We
pay for all the Vinol your child takes
if it does no good.
There are plenty of children all
around US who are thin, puny, ailing
and tired all the time Don't want to
do this, and don't want to do that. Do
not blame the children; they have no
strength, no blood, no vitality; rapid
growth takes all their strength.
Vinol is just what your child needs
1t is delicious cod liver oil prepara-
ton, and children love it. 1t creates
strength, makes rich, red blood and
vitality as nothing else can, and after
a severe sickness there is nothing that
will build your child up like Vinol.
The following letter is only one of
hundreds which we have received from
mothers telling what Vinol has done
for their children.
Mrs. E. M. oswald, of Mansfield, o.,
writes: My little daughter became so
poorly that I was obliged to take her
from school. She was thin, no appe-
tite, tired all the time and weak. We
had tried several medicines without
benefit Since taking Vinol, however,
she is as we'll as ever; she has gained
in flesh, has rosy cheeks and good APP
petite and is going to school every
day"
We want to say to every mother in
Walla Walla that Vinol will build your
little ones up into strong, robust,
healthy children. We have never sold
anything equal to it in our store for
this purpose, and we will return your
money if it fails. Green & Jackson

Railroad Officials and Commission
VIII Meet in Seattle
WILL TAKE UP COMPLAINT OF FARMERS
O. r. en-. PROPOSED REDUCTION
MAY FORCE THE OTHER
ROADS TO FOLLOW.

A conference has been arranged be-
tween the railroad commission and the
railroad officials, to be held in Seattle
on next Wednesday, 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago the COM
mission prepared to go ahead with a
hearing on the question of joint rates
on wheat. but just before the order
fixing the hearing had been issued the
O, R. & n. officials requested that the
matter be held up until they could
have consultation with the other
railroad officials, with a view to a
possible voluntary adjustment by the
roads of the complaint of the farmers
and shippers growing out of the fail
ure to have joint rates on wheat.
Discuss General Effect.
The roads now ask for a further con.
ference, and from the press reports of
the contemplated new schedule of the
@. r. & n. it is anticipated by mem
bers of the railroad commission that
it will resolve itself into a general dis
cusssiOn of the question as to whether
the proposed new schedule will satisfy
the commission and compliments.
The state railroad commission has
taken judicial notice. of the recent
announcement from Portland to the
Navigation company proposes to make
a rate on export wheat which will
eliminate the present so-called dis
elimination it lis claimed the Puget
Sound market affords as against ex-
elusive o. r. & n. territory in eastern
Washington.
Would EquaIize Prices.
1t has been shown in testimony TAX
en- by the railroad commission that
wheat is generally worth from 1 to .
cents a bushel more on Puget Sound
than at Portland, and this difficulty is
said to represent the difference in ex-
port rates as between the ports of
Portland and Puget Sound. The plan
announced from Portland is for the
O. r. & n. company to give rebate
on all export wheat which will make
up this difference to the farmers, and
to this extent the commission will find
relief from a large number of COM
plants that have come before it on the
question of wheat rates.
Chairman Fairchild, of the railroad
commission, in commenting on the
situation said:
The effect of the change in the
schedule of rates as published in the
press is to give the farmer on the
Q. R. & n. approximately 1 cent
bushel more for his wheat than he has
been receiving.
This is gratifying. Whether the
proposed change in rates will cure the
evils complained of can be determined
only after a full understanding of the
proposed action by the railroads.
