Moody Confers With President.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 22-
Attorney General Moody called upon
packers case decision. 1t is generally
believed that the department of JUS
tice will adopt the conclusion that the
decision will have the effect of releas-
ing the defendants and this will make
it impossible to place them in jeopardy
second time, the decision being likely
to be considered by the higher court
as the acquittal Of the packers on the
criminal charge.

While the fruit raisers Of the Walla
Walla valley will undoubtedly sustain
quite a loss by the recent freeze-up,
which resulted in nearly all OF the
early fruit being killed, they will be
benefited in another way. According
to the opinions of several of the lead
ing orchardists in the valley the San
Jose scale was killed by the cold
weather. Trees that were covered Win
the scale prior to the cold snap do not
show any signs of the pest. The warm
days of last month had been the means
of bringing out the scale IN almost
every orchard in the county and the
owners of large orchards were spend
ing considerable money In spraying
their trees in order to get rid OF the
pest.

TAXPAYERS ARE PLEASED
Judge BPents' Decision aecsiVed
With Approval
GENERAL TOPIC or CONVERSATION TODAY
CITY OFFICIALS KEEP MUM AND

WILL BE TAKEN.
GENERAL TOPIC OF CONVERSATION TODAY

Judge Brents' decision in the paving
case yesterday was the general topic of
conversation in Walla Walla today,
and the consensus of opinion was that
the decision rendered made a hard slap
at the members of the city council
The opinion gives general satisfaction
to the taxpayers of Walla Walla, who
have had it in for the council for not
providing for competitive bids in
awarding the paving contracts.
What Will Council Do?
So far none of the city officials have
given any hint as to what further
steps will be taken by the city. 1t is
generally believed, however, that when
the council meets next week the ques-
ton will be taken up and discussed. 1t
is hardly believed that in face Of the
decision the city will carry the case to
a higher court, but will probably pass
ordinances providing that all kinds of
material may be used in paving streets,
thus giving other companies beside the
Warren people and the Barber COM
pany a chance to submit bids.

The plans now entertained by ex-
Mayor Babcock will call for a modern
brick structure with a frontage of 70
feet on Alder and 120 feet deep. Be-
ing an architect, Mr.. Babcock will
naturally see that the new building is
constructed on the most modern lines
and equipped with both passenger and
freight elevators. The site is one of
the most advantageous in the city and
the building if erected will mean an
outlay of something better than $4,000.

SUBMERGED GUNS.
The Experiment of Firing a Cannon
Buried Under Water.

London Spectator.
The most curious experiment ever
made with a piece Of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark. On this an Armstrong gun Of
the ITO pound pattern was mounted.
The gun was then loaded and care
fully aimed at a target-all this, of
course during the time Of low tide. A
few hours later, when the gun anl the
target were both covered with water
to a depth Of six feet, the gun was
fired by means of electricity. We said
"aimed at a target,' but the facts
are that there were two targets, but
only one was erected for this special
experiment, the other being the hull
Of an old vessel, the Griper, which
lay directly behind the target and in
range Of the ball. The target itself
was placed only twenty-five feet from
the muzzle Of the gun. It was COM
posed of oak beams and planks and
was twenty-one inches thick.
In order to make the old Griper in
sheet Of boiler plate
three inches thick was riveted to the
water-logged hull in direct range with
the course the ball was expected to {
take if not DETECTED by the water. Oh |
all Of these-the oaken target, the
boiler plates and the old vessel hull

merged gun was really startling. The

THEIR WEAK POINTS.
The Fears and Superstitutions Of
Some Famous Men.

All great people have had then
follies which is another way Of say
ing that all have their weak points,
DR.. Johnson, with all his philosophy,
was not without a superstition. He
was very careful not to enter room
with his left foot foremost. If by
any chance he did so he would imme-
diately step back and reenter with
his right foot formost. He was ter
ribly afraid Of death, too, and would
not suffer it to be mentioned in his
presence.
Julius Caesar, to whom the shouts
of thousands Of the enemy were but
sweet music, was mortally afraid Of
the sound of thunder and always
wanted to get underground to escape
the dreadful noise.
Marshal SAKE, who loved tor look
upon the ranks Of opposing armies,
fled and screamed in terror at the
sight Of cat.
Peter the Great could scarcely be
persuaded to cross bridge, and
whenever he placed his foot on one
be would cry out with fear. Like the
great man he was, he tried to over
esme his weakness, but he was never
able to do so. And Byron would new
er help anyone to salt at the table,
1or would he be helped himself, and if
any salt were spilled he would imme-
liately get up and leave.

LOST NOSE REPLACED
BY NODDED RUBBER

PHILADELPHIA, March Swearing
his new nose proudly, c. ". Weiser. of
Allentown, Pa, who lost his olfactory
organ fifteen years ago. has been dis
charged from the University of Pennsyl-
vania Hospital, uttering paeans Of praise
for the ingenuity of two medical stu
dents. whose skill has entirely trans

Although his new nose is nothing more
than a piece of Vulcanite rubber with
silver tubes for nostrils and a spray Of
face powder and theatrical paint for
flesh color, 1t would take an expert to
discover that the pseudo member is not
real.
A carefully curled false mustache,
which hides the connection below, and
a pair of eyeglasses, which cover the
point of juncture above, make the decep-
ton complete.
