Miss Edith B. Merrell, head of the
department of public speaking at
Whitman college, returned yesterday
from Spokane. She went there this
leine Lucette Ryley's comedy can
American Citizen" which was played
the opening of the new Columbia
theatre. This is the same play that
the sophomore class of the college de-
cided several weeks ago to give as a
class play during Commencement
week. Miss Merrell is training the
cast and went to Spokane for the ex-
press purpose of getting additional in
formation as to the best way to pre-
sent the play, the conceptions of the
actors, their costumes and numerous
other details She returned yesterday
with the greatest of enthusiasm for
the play and well satisfied that it has
been selected by the sophomores with
whom she is working.
She had the pleasure of a personal
interview with Mr.. Douglass, the head
of the company who played the part
of Edgerton Brown in the Nat Good
win company which first presented
"An American Citizen" a few years
ago. 1t is very popular play
wherever it has been presented With
the added information which she now
possesses together with her great
ability in the theatrical line, the class
of $190S feel sure that they will have
the best possible preparation and hope
to stage the play at commencement in
a way that will be a credit to them
selves and to the college of which they
are a part.

Wa|Ia Wd|IdDs Asked to Boost The
Local Team
PfNDLEToN COMES HERE SUNDAY
q. r. e. N. ARRANGING TO RUN AN
EXCURSION FROM UMATIL-
IA COUNTY TOWNS.

With the new men that have been
added to the Boosters this city has
now the best amateur ball team that
has been gotten together for several
years. Each man on the team is play
ing good ball and working hard to
keep UP the standard of the organiza-
ton. When the season opened up the
team was weak in many spots and for
a time the fans were discouraged over
the outlook of Walla Walla being we'll
represented on the diamond this year.
The people kept up constant demand
that the team be made stronger,
which resulted in the management
looking about for better men. AS
final result Maloney, fitzpatrick,
Yates and Single were secured and
signed for the season. These men
have proven to be a great acquisition
to the club and have put the team in a
position where it will be able to win at
least two thirds of the games played
this season.
Benefit Game.
In securing these men the managers
of the Walla Walla Baseball associa-
ton have gone to considerable ex-
pense and their efforts to give people
of 'Walla Walla good ball SHOULD be ap-
preciated. The attendance at the
games so far has not been what it
should be, but it is now believed that
the fans will soon begin to realize that
Walla Walla can play ball and swell
the gate receipts by turning out in
larger numbers
AS the association is not yet out of
the woods so far as finances are con-
cerned, and in order that the organiza-
ton may be put on a good footing,
arrangements have been made for a
benefit game to be played May 10. At
that time the fast team from the
Washington State college will be here
and one of the best games of the
season may be expected. All of the
players in the Walla Walla team and
other employees at the ball ground
have consented to donate their SER
vices for the game and will work hard
to help out the association.
The price of admission for the
game has been placed at SO cents, all
ladies being admitted to the grand
stand free. Tickets for the game have
been printed and are in the hands of
the ball players who will make a can
vass of the town and offer them for
sale. 1t is believed that the people of
Walla Walla will respond to the call
an dthat the game will be attended
by the biggest crowd seen on the
grounds this season.

THREE BOXER C0UNC|LMEN
AFTER ENGINEER THOMSON
VIII Demand al Ioghts Council Meeting That SEATTLE Man RESIGN as
Consulting Engineer Thomson Holds His Own in Red
Hot Session Of Council Last Might

Antagonism that Councilmen Kirk
man Bridges and Glasford have dis
,laved toward Engineer r. H. Thorn
son ever since he was selected con-
curing engineer of Walla Walla's new
gravity water system, now under
course of construction, will, it is said
an excellent authority, eliminate in
the three councilmen attempting to
force the Seattle engineer to hand in
his resignation at tonight's adjourned
meeting. The contemplated action of
the three councilmen came to light at
an executive session of the council
last night during the regular meeting
Kirkman the Leader.
Councilman Kirkman led the forces
demanding the resignation of Engineer
Thomson but it is said that aside
from Bridges and Glasford, the other
members were not inclined to take
such a radical step and the proposed
ousting of the Seattle engineer at to-
nights meeting, if it is attempted at
all will probably result in a fiat fail
ure.
Councilman Cox today went on rec
ord bv declaring that he would stand
bv Engineer Thomson and if there
was any Juggling of the specifications
and contract entered into with the
National Wood Pipe company, the
council was partially to blame, as the
contract and specifications were sub
mitted to the council by Engineer
Thomson. read in open meeting and
the mayor and clerk authorized to
sign them for the city.
Thomson Faced the Music.
Engineer Thomson, as he promised
Yesterday. was present at last nights
meeting and answered squarely, fairly
and above board every question put
to him by the Kirkman forces. AS the
meeting was called for the express
purpose of giving the three council
men an opportunity Of quizzing En-
gineer Thomson on certain matters
connected with the water question,
little time was lost in getting down
TO brass lacks after Mayor Hunt
called the meeting to order.
Councilman Kirkman, 1 believe you
want to ask Engineer Thomson some
questions. You now have the oppor-
nifty" Mayor Hunt said
The member from the Third ward
seemed nonplussed for a moment at
being suddenly showed into the lime
light and seemed inclined to shirk
the responsibility of opening up the
ticklish matter by stating that he
was not aware that the meeting had
been called for his express benefit.
Kirkman said he understood that the
clerk knew something why Engineer
Thomson had been called to Walla
Walla but as that official did not vol
unteer any information to that eff
feet. he plunged into the subject by
asking Engineer Thomson if he had
changed the original specifications
and why had he done so.
Several other questions along the
same line were put by Kirkman and
Engineer Thomson was then given an
opportunity of answering them, which
he proceeded to do without any for
malities.

to be at present, and the Council had
not sat around half asleep all these
things in this contract would now be
perfectly clear and plain. Engineer
Thompson, 1 believe, has acted in the
best of faith with the city officials and
the pipe companies in this matter
Talked Route a While.
The discussion at this point was
suddenly switched on to the pipe line
work now being done and Engineer
Thomson was asked why the pro-
posed route crossed Mill creek. Kirk
man said he thought the original sur
vey made by Engineer Wilson, which
followed the creek bank, was pretty
good. Thomson explained that it was
impossible to obtain the proper hy-
draulic grade and it was necessary to
change the route. At this point Glas-
ford moved for an executive session
but Bachtold objected, stating that he
thought the public should hear what
ever action was taken in the matter.
Glasford finally won his point and the
councilmen went into executive ses-
sion in Clerk Reynolds private office
Just what transpired behind the
closed doors was kept secret but it
leaked out that the Kirkman forces
were in for asking for Thomson's res
ignation, contending that he had failed
to satisfactorily explain the why's and
wherefores made in the specifications.
1t was suggested that the matter be
referred to a special Commercial club
committee, but nothing was definitely
decided upon and the council tonight
will probably handle the matter single
handed.
Politics Behind Ii.
While the Kirkman forces had some
adherents who were inclined to believe
that Engineer Thomson, at best, had
been negligent in failing to point out
to the council the exact changes that
were made in the final specifications,
the consensus of opinion was that pol
itics played a prominent part in the
proceedings last night. Some were
inclined to critcise the Kirkman forces
for putting the city to the expense of
bringing Engineer Thomson to Wal
la Walla for such a petty affair.
After last nights meeting the sub
ject of the recent action of the cOun-
Gil awarding the contract for exca-
waiting the pipe line ditch was dis
cussed by several spectators who were
in attendance at the meeting. Council
man Kirkman is quoted as saying that
the reason the offer of E. c. Burlin-
game to excavate the line for $500
was turned down was because they
thought Burlingame was a Hunt man.
This, it is pointed out, is further evil
dence that the Kirkman crowd is
playing politics in the transaction of
business affairs for the city of Walla
Walla
Councilman Cox is quoted as say
ing that he favored giving Burlingame
the contract as he considered his bid
the best one submitted but before he
could offer an objection the matter
was rushed through and the Warren
Construction company given the job.
