an agreement with the coal operators that
Will prevent a general strike, that would
bring 425,000 men from the mines on April

begin here Monday next.
When the convention met today differ

the more important work of the conven-
tion in order that the miners might present
a unfced front.
The first business of the convention was
the work of organization, and the greater
part of the day was taken UP with Gre
dentials of the delegates.
When the last convention of the mine
workers adjourned February 2, following
joint conference with the operators, which
had failed to arrive at a wage agreement, a
strike April ! was inevitable unless
something should intervene. AT that con-

miners having demanded an increase in

bASLEE GETS HIS DIVORCE
Sustains Sensational Allegations
Against His Wife
1T WAS A RAPID MATRIMONIAL VENTURE
| Married on December % and Divorced
January 81, Married Life Was
Kaleidoscope Affair.
It WAS A RAPID MATRIMONIAL VENTURE

A new record in matrimonial VEN
lures was established in the superior
court this morning when Judge Brents
granted John Baslee, aged 20, absolute
divorce from his pretty young wife,
Gertrude Baslee, nee Gertrude Riley,
aged Is. Married on December %; the
wife caught in a compromising position
before the honeymoon had hardly
waned; divorce proceedings started on
January 20 and a legal separation OBJ
tanned two days later, the married life
of young Baslee and his wife seems to
have been a Kaleidoscope affair.
Referee King, appointed by the court
to take the testimony, finished his
work yesterday evening and this morn
ing filed his report recommending that
Mr.. Baslee be granted a divorce. Mrs.
Baslee made no defense further than
to admit all the allegations made by
Baslee, which We're of an extremely
sensational character Baslee himself
was the star witness and substantially
told the following story when placed
on the stand yesterday afternoon:
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock she
said. John. 1 am going to take a little
walk She said she would be back
soon, but. she was not back until a
quarter to Z o'clock I asked her what
was the matter she was not back

Suspension Of Long and Short
Haul Required
NORTHERN PACIFIC NOT AFFECTED
Carrying Freight at Less Tariff
for Long Haul.

hitcn has occurred relative to the
fixing of the new joint rate tariffs on
the Great Northern and the matter
will be taken up by Railroad Commits
tives of the o. r. & N. and Great
Northern in Portland this week, is the
report that comes from Olympia.
TIE matter involves the suspension
of the long and short haul clause of the
railroad commission law, and, accord
ing to Mr.. Lawrence, is more matter
of adjustment between the railroad
companies than Of moment to the
shippers.
The Great Northern is SO situated
that joint rate nauls from the Palouse
country must be through the Spokane
gateway. Spokane is the maximum
point for rates to the Sound, while
points south of Spokane, on account of
their nearness to Portland will carry
a less rate than Spokane This puts
the Great Northern in the position of
carrying freight at a less tariff for the
long haul than it does for the short
haul.
The commission has the power to
suspend the long and short haul clause,
and the hitch is over the extent Of the
suspension order. The Great Northern
tariffs submitted do not give the joint
rate to points intermediate of Seattle
and Spokane, and an effort will be
made to agree upon an order of sus-
pension of the long and short haul
clause that will make it possible to
also give the joint rate to such points.
The same question did not arise over
Northern Pacific tariffs because the
Northern Pacific gateway is Wallula
A failure to agree would not affect the
joint rate order, except so far as the
Great Northern railroad individually Is
concerned. Shippers in the Palouse

An Exciting Game Between Forrest City and Claren- don. Score 1 to , in Favor of Forrest
 City.


 The general verdict of Forrest City fans Is to the effect that the best game of the season was witnessed ednesday when the teams of Forrest City and was on the rapid-fire order-fu full of snap and ginger from start to finish. and teaming with exciting features.
 Some distress was felt in the first but in the third inning a member of the Squirrel team in the person of Leo Grobmyer, was introduced, who handled himself in a most admirable manner and accepted all the chances that came his way. Leo's work at first was faultless and after he took charge of that corner Clarendon stock took a sudden and disastrous slump. Aside from this fact the flying dutchman" made good with the stick and got two nice clean hits out of four times up. and at one other time he swatted d hot line drive to the pitcher that made things awful uncomfortable for the gentleman from Stuttgart. Leo had an eye on the ball at all stages of the game and k a likely youngster.
 Pat Foere, our local Southpaw was in fine form Wednsday. and was a veri- table whirlwind on the firing line. He had steam to burn and his slants were hard to find. One Clarendon batter in particular stepped up to the plate and remarked to Pat that he intended to brIlse one of his Slants. thereupon Pat promptly famed him out But the boastful one was not the only victim. others followed and before the conclu- sion of the game the husky little Irish lad had six or eight strike eouts to his credit.
 In the seventh, when the score was a tie, Clarendon had two men on bases and the fans were worried over the prospect of the visitors scoring again. The Clarendon batter sent the ball to shallow center in manner that looked good for hit. but Tommie . Brien came up fast enough to get his hands on the ball and made an exciting double play assisted by Gillian and Hughes. which relieved the situation and con tributed one of the best features of the game.
 Other features were the base running and gilt-eiged backstop work of Brady and the fast work of Hughes at third who made very bright play in a run Hing one-handed stop and putout in fielding hot grounder that looked geok for a hit

He had been unable to locate the ball and over confidence caused him to drop a nice one at second upon which he could have made triple play. but James was sec ond at bat in the tenth and Homer Foibre had picked out nice one of the Stuttgart twirler that landed him safely on first The situation was tense with the score to ,.
