PERKINS OF n. Y. LIFE ARRESTED
Jerome Secures a Warrant for High
Insurance OfficiaI-OnIy
Test Case.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 27.-Mag-
istrate Moss. of the police court, is
said to have issued this morning, as
the result of a conference with Je-
rome, three warrants for three insur-
ance officials whose names have been
prominently identified with evidence
aoduced by the legislative investigating
committee. Jerome went direct from
the police court to his private office
where it is said he communicated by
phone with the individuals in ques-
ton. AS result they are expected
to appear before the magistrate
promptly and surrender themselves
This apparently is Jerome's answer to
Judge OSullivan, who urged the grand
jury not to permit the district attor-
ney to take the insurance case away
from them, but to demand all the evil
dence.
Recently when before Judge O'Sulli-
van. Jerome said he might ask for
warrants for Bliss, Cortelyou and Per-
kins.
Vice President D. P. Kingsley, of the
New York Life, swore to the warrants
issued today
1t developed this<afternoon that only
one warrant was issued as the result
of Jerome's activity and that is for
Perkins. According to Jerome, his plan
is to test the law. Perkins will apply
for a writ of habeas corpus. Jerome
will submit the facts and ask for a
decision.

SN0THERED TO DEATH BY FLAMES
Chief Engineer of Steamship Dies in
His Bunk-LampbIack the
Cause.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Alexander
Stewart, chief engineer of the steam
ship Maconomo, was smothered to
death by the fumes of a big oil lamp
in his cabin on the vessel last night
A big coach dog, asleep in the cabin,
also died from the effect of the fumes.
The Maconomo is lying at the West
Shore dock in Weekawken, ready to
said tomorrow for Black Sea ports
with cargo of freight. A stiff gale
on the North river contributed to make
the cabins on the steamship cold and
Stewart, after practically Theoretically
sealing the room, turned on the light at
full force and sat down to read a book
The dog stretched himself out on the
floor. When the chief engineer did not
report for breakfast today the first
officer, Mr.. Dittman, went to call him.
An amazing sight met Mr. Dittmans
goze as he opened the door, The walls,
bodies of the man and dog We're COW
cred to a depth of a quarter of an inch
with lampblack. The big lamp was
smoking in the rack to which it was
attached
No doctor could be found convenient
to the ship in Weehawken, so a tug
was summoned and the unconscious
man was hurried aboard. His nostrils
were full of lampblack and doubtless
his lungs We're lined with it. He died
on the way across the river

Local Fans Are Enthusiastic Over
The Proposition.
SOLICITING COMMITTEE BEGINS WORK
"BUCK" WEAVER SUGGESTED AS
MANAGER-PLANT TO FORM
STOCK COMPANY.

The prospects of Walla Walla having
a team in the Northwest league this
season seem to be very bright, judging
from the enthusiasm that is being dis
played by the business men of Walla
Walla. The general sentiment is that
this would be the means of giving
Walla Walla splendid advertising
throughout the country and would be
an assistance to the Fifty Thousand
club in building up the city and sur
roundings Many of the business men
this morning expressed a willingness
to assist in forming a stock company
and going right ahead to form a cor
pOratiOn.
Conference Yesterday.
A conference was held yesterday af-
ing present President Lucas, of the
Northwest league; George O'ConnOr
w. P. Mexican, w. H. Kirkman, J. B.
Catron, Robert Burns, Joseph McCabe
and Arthur A. Greene.
President Lucas outlined what would
be required if Walla Walla decided to
put team in the league. He said
according to plans there would be a
schedule of 100 games for the season.
half of which would be played by teams
at home There will be five games
each week and the season is to open
April % and close September 9.
The proposition to join with Pendle-
ton and form a joint stock company
and the team represent both cities was
turned down and was decided that if
the necessary money could be pledged
for Walla Walla to go it alone.
Committee at Work.
The committee met this afternoon at
the office of the Fifty Thousand club
and organized. The city was divided
into districts and the work of soliciting
subscriptions for stock was taken up.
The canvass was taken up late this
afternoon and tomorrow will be con-
tinued with much vigOr. 1t was de-
cided to place the shares at $40 each
and the committee feels confident that
it will not experience any trouble in
selling every share of the stock.
Want "Buck" Weaver.
If the proposition is made a go the
local organization will probably try to
induce Buck Weaver to take the
management of the team. Weaver is
now in Kansas and is anxious to come
west again. He was a member of the
Walla Walla team in the days of the
Inland Empire league and the fans
have every confidence in his ability to
manage a baseball team
Secretary Dorsey, of the Northwest
league, arrived from Spokane this af-
ternoon and will assist the local COM
mittee with its work of soliciting.

THE FAIR BOARD.

ItriCtcd and Other Actions
Were also Taken.

saturday afternoon the board Of
directors of the county fair associa-
tiou met at their Office. President
Haines, Secretary Chapman. and Di-
rectors Price. Bucklin. Williams, Sui
livan. BomEardner, Mcdowell. l1-
dley and Schwartz, were in attend
ance.
william Swartz rendered his res
ignation as a member of the eXecut-
i've committee stating that owing to
the fact that he lived in the lower
valley II was not always convenient
for him to attend the meetings of the
executive committee therefore he
thought someone who could attend
promptly and regularly should be
chosen. His resignation was accept
ed and George ]. ID. Williams was
appointed to succeed him.
A proposition from a number Of
horsemen to have matinee races along
during the summer months at the
fair grounds and pay the association
ten per cent of the proceeds. was re
ceivcd and rejected on the grounds
that ten per cnt was insufficient to
Justify the agreement to grant the
privilege and IT would hardly pay for
keeping the track in condition. How
ever a committee was appointed "
look into the matter and If suitable
arrangements can be made there Will
probably be matinee races.
The matter of allowing the fair
grounds to be used promiscously for
ball games was taken up and discuss
ed and a motion prevailed that there
shall be no more games at the fair
grounds unless the permission of the
secretary is obtained and contract
made to the effect that the fair as
sociation get twenty-five percent of
the gross receipts of each game and
the fair board will appoint a ticket
seller.
A number of bills were allowed.

not vet ready TO report.
After discussing various other mat

\ HAPPY OCCASION.
The Colorado Day Heeting of the
Woman'S Club Marked With
Many PleaSuirs.-A
Splendid Program.

One of the rreuiest and most
prohtable days in the Woman's club
this year was held last Saturday after
noon at the home OF Mrs. James w.
Bucklin, corner Fifth and Gunnison
The home was prettily decorated
with flags of all sizes The three large
rooms and reception hall were well
hlled, the clergymen and school
teachers being privileged guests.
There We're many changes made from
the original program owing to the
fact that this was the last meeting of
the year and several members hay-
ing moved from the city. and those
on the program kindly consented TO
take part almost the last minute and
seemed very enthusiastic in their
wishes to make our special Colorado
day good one. The committee. Mrs.
Il. Il. Cole, Mrs. James Bucklin, Mrs.
i. McLuen have every reason to feel
proud OF the day and with the many
loyal members of the Womans club
this organization will always stand
for everything thar is good and up
lifting.
AS VIII be seen in the following
program, everything In song and
verse given is from the pen of our
Colorado poets and composers:
The first number on the program
was Well written paper on Colo
RADIO and scenes that Tourists love-
by Mrs. Cole which showed that
Colorado is surely the Playground
Of the entire republic, as Roosevelt
said.
Miss Avis Hardy sang a solo,
Just n Little Spray of Columbine. "
Miss Hardy sang beautifully and the
sentiment expressed made all apprec-
late our state flower
Mrs Bucklin read paper on our
Educational Institutions and she
showed very clearly that if our state
had only one of the many well-equip-
ped institutions we would not want
tor learning but from the fact that
our state covers a great area OF
ground we need many The six great
temples of learning in our state were
referred to in an admirable manner.
Mrs. Hedges then sang "A beautiful
selection, Mine Own music written
by Prof Housley of Denver.
Mrs. Bishop had a fine paper on
Helen Hunt jackson and others.
Anyone knowing our own Grand
Valley poet. Cy Warman will under
5lduu WHY MIA. ANdilhlu SANG oNttl

been selected to have given this in a

bers on the program The words
were written by our own Dr. Il. f.
Eldrldge.
The program concluded with pi-
ano solo by Mrs. McLucn, "Prim-
