WATERvlLLE TEAM
WINS THE DEBATE
Is VICTOR IN THIRD INTER-
SCHOLASTIC DEBATING CON
TESTS SECOND VIC
TORY.
Big Delegation of ROoters Accom-
coInpanied Hos:.e Team to
Wateryille Making Trip in
Il Sleigh.

The Inter High School debate held
at Waterville on last Saturday even
ing between the debating teams of
the Wenatchee and Waterville High
Schools was one of the hardest
fonght contests of its kid ever hel1
between the two institutions. The
decision of the judges was in favor
OF the negative, thus giving the
championship of the two schools to
the Waterville High School.
In the spring of 1904, Wenatchee
won a debate over Waterville and
last year Waterville carried off the
palm, and as result the deciding
of the tie this year was accompanied
by strenuous work on the part of
both schools
The question was stated as fol-
lows. ''Resolved-.That the best
and most practicable method of
building up the American merchant
marine is a system of subsidies to
American built ships" Wenatchee
upheld the affirmative and Water
VILE the negative Miss Helen Col
lier opened the debate and paved the
way for her colleagues by delivering
mastery address, combining ex-
cellent delivery and argument.
Harry Lovejoy on the Waterville
side laid the foundation for his col
leagues, Claude Mills followed for
Wenatchee and after him, James
Lewis upheld the Waterville side.
In his speech for Wenatchee, Lyman
Shotwelf gave an excellent presenta-
ton of the argument and was follow
ed by Gale Matthews of Waterville,
who covered the ground in a most
thorough manner. Miss Collier
closed the debate with he rebuttal
speech and the judges decision was
announced in favor of the
negative The delegation from We
natchee though small held the Wat
erVille school even in roofing and
the Christian church, where the con-
test was held, was the scene of
great enthusiasm on both sides. Be
fore and after the debate, a girls
chorus rendered two very pleasing
selections and an instrumental solo
by Mrs. Guibert Nas highly appre-
ciated. Principal Armstrong of the
Wenatchee High School presided at
the debate.
An informal reception was held
for the Wenatchee delegation at the
close of the debate and speeches
We're made by members of both
schools and towns The members of
the Wenatchee delegation were:

INVESTIGATIONOF
THE COAL SHORTAGE
GOV. MEAD APPOINTS co AS
MISSION TO LOOK INTO CON
DiTIONS IN WASHINGTON
viii Make Determined Effort to
Find Reason for Scarcity of Fuel
Investigate Alleged
Combine.

Governor Mead has summoned
commission to investigate the coal
shortage.
Yesterday he appointed State Oil
Inspector Clark, lttorney-gene,al
Atkinson and the railroad commits
sioners to probe the question, and
they will meet in Seattle tomorrow
afternoon.
In the past two weeks there have
been many charges that the coal
panies and the railroad companies
were in a combine to keep down
production and hold the consumers
up to the exhorbitant prices which
now prevail, and the fact that the
governor has appointed a commits
sion for investigation shows that he
has been Impressed by the cvharges.
There is evidence that no real effort
is being made to relieve the coal
famine. A coal company at Carbon
ado has discharged $50 miners since
the coal supply was exhausted, CIV
ing as reason its alleged inability
to get cars for shipment. But it is
claimed by Seattle dealers that cars
have been available when there was
no coal ready for shipment. If the
coal companies and railroads really
are in collusion it would be easy for
them to offer plausible excuses
This investigation presents an OPP
portunity for the railroad commits
sion to do the people of the state
service. If it has the authority which
the people sought delegate to it
1T should be able to show te true
inwardness of the coal shortage.
In the past few days the people of
North and South Dakota have appeal
ed to their governors to take .acticn
20 compelt the railroads to deliver
coal. 1t has got to be a very serious
question for communities there, and
if relief is not promptly given indig
nation of the people will lead to re-
taliation. In some towns the shiver-
ing inhabitants have threatened to
burn railroad property.
The assertion has been made that
the whole matter of car shortage and
fuel scarcity is part of the deliber-
ate plan of the railroads of the ma
tion to bring about repeal of the
state railroad commission law. And
| it is argued that the disorganization
of railroad traffic all over the coun-
| railroad interests. to retaliate upon
the people for railroad rate regula-
ton, which is to become generally
effective the first of the year.
Under cover of the complications
which already have resulted from
the provisions of the new law the
! railroads could easily impede or ma
| nipulate traffic to the great injury
| of the business of any section or re-
gion of the country that has been
extensively active in promoting rail-
road legislation.
1t is expected that Governor
Mead's investigators will go into the
| matter vigorously.

Z SAYS sIIEH RECEIVED Cash.
Manager Nolan Declares Fight Referee
Was Paid for Decision.

Reno. New, Sept. 1s,-Nolan. Mel
sons manager, has issued a signed
statement in which he declares that
Referee Siler received money to give
the decision for Cans. He says
In the early part of the match
saw Silver deliberately pull Nelson by
the hair. Every time he did this the
negro took advantage by sending a stiff
upper-cut to the Danes chin. This
happened about a dozen times and I
appealed to Siler to stop on every oc-
casion.
when Cans claimed the foul and
dramatically feigned pain, I jumped
into tile ring and appealed to Siler to
cal doctor. Fully fifty seconds
elapsed before he rendered the rawest
decision ever given in a championship
fight.
The element that caused this was
from the home of crooked pugilism. I
can prove that George Si1er received
part of his money in Chicago and the
rest last Thursday at Goldfield to give
a decision to Cans in the fight at Gold
field. I stand ready to back up my
statement. and in time will give proof
to the world"

Saw Yesterdays Came

Saw Yesterdays Came
joplin, Mo-, is the latest city to get
into the lfrnelight with McGraw base
ball tactics. In yesterdays game be-
tween Topeka and Joplin, Umpire Dunn
rendered a decision that angered the
ed from the field by policemen who
feared that he would be mobbed. Presi-
dent Baker, of the Joplin club, and vice
president Of the league, appointed an
other umpire to finish the game and
the Topeka players left the field, and
the Baker appointed umpire forfeited
the game to Joplin.
The decision of the Baker appointed
umpire is a great joke, and the fact
that. he was appointed by President Ba-
ker Of the Joplin club is another huge
Joke. The constitution of the associa-
ton provides that where the umpire IS
incapacitated, player umpires must be
appointed to finish the game But in
Yesterdays game the umpire. was not
incapacitated and the Joplin club made
the first mistake of the game by not
providing sufficient police protection.
Rule n Of the guide makes it plain that

Boston, Sept 13.@The fact that
Manager Billy Murray Of the Jersey
City club denied he signed any papers
committing himself to the Philadelphia
National league club lends color to the
assertion that he will have charge of
the local American league club next
season, as has been minated before.
One who Is close to Manager Collins
asserts that the latter has not had his
way in handling the club; that he has
not been consulted on some OF the big
deals that have been made; that he
knew nothing of the Dougherty or Sell
bach deals until they had been con-
summated; that he desired to secure
Mcintyre of the Detroits and Catcher
Mcfarland Of the Chicago White
Stockings. both of whom could have
been obtained, the former for $4,000
and the latter for $4,000, and with
whom he could have built UP team
that could have made an excellent
showing in theaAmerican league race.
Collins claims that he has been held
responsible for "a club that is not of his
own choosing.

Go1dheld, New, Sept. 13@Tex Rick
ard, Goldfield fight promoter, has
changed his, mind about the Britt and
Cans fight and says he would not care
to have these two meet at Goldhe1d. He
says he would prefer to walt until late
in February, or even early in the
spring and have Nelson and Cans
come together for another fight.
THE moving pictures will show F"
said Richard, that Nelson was fully as
strong If not stronger than Cans when
the end came. I do not believe that
the foul was intentional. The next big
bout we viii have will be finish
fight. That is what the people of
GoIdheld want and We will get Nelson
and Cans, If possible.
