CROOKS AT WORK.
Power Co, ONCE Entered and Private
Rcsldence Robbed.

Residence Robbed,
Some time last night the Office OF
the Amarillo Light and Power Co.,
at corner Of Fifth and Taylor streets
was entered and tho safe robbed Of
It's cash, The burglars gained en-
trance by turning the catch on one
Of the Tyler street windows. The
door OF the safe was readily opened,
as II Is used only for fire protection
and was rot on the combination. The
crooks then prled open the cash
drawer and appropriated the ten or
twelve dollars OF READY currency IL
contained They broke the nllng box
out Of the safe, but, as the contents
were Of no value to strangers, they
left them undlsturbed No papers
were disturbed and the loss OF about
ten dollars covers practically all the
damage, No clue whatever remain
ed with which to trace the perpotra-
tors OF the burglary,
Presumably the same crook or
crooks entered the cottage of Mrs, r.
T, benson on Taylor street, Here
Roy Alexander and j A. Watt were
occupying a room whore the house
breakers made a successful touch,
Watt and Alexander retired about i
o'clock and both were half awaken
ed about 12:45 by some onise which
they attributed to trivial causes.
Perhaps ten or fifteen minutes later
Alexander half awakened again and
called to Watt that someone was in
the room. This frightened the
housebreaker who was already maxi
ing his get away, and they heard him
make three steps and slam the door
after him.
Alexander reached under hispillow
and discovered that ten dollar and
a five dollar bill, which he had placed
there on retiring, we're missing, His
watch and n silver dollar were not
taken, but the pillow had been dis
turbcd and the thief was probably
frightened away before he made
clean sweep. A. II. Harding, who
occupied the other room in the cot
tage, was not disturbed by the thief.
Neither gentleman has any clue by
which TO trace the robbery, but both
attribute It to some Bowery tough
who followed them home after the
late train last night
1t was also reported today that the
residence OF NJ. w. Easum, on Buch-
anan street, was entered last night,
but the loss was small.
Hugh p. d. Howard, of tho Pecos
Valley immigration Co., thought this
morning that he, too, was victim
of the thieves. His fine buggy horse,
which he keeps in tho stable at the
Elmhurst Hotel, was missing this
morning from the stable whore he
had been left The animal was found
about noon, however, about four
miles south OF town.

Business Man FaVors Reelection Of

HE SAYS.

"The taxpayers Of Walla Walla are
certainly to be congratulated on the
fact that they have at the head OF the
citv government such a successfnl man
as Gilbert Hunt. and believe that the
voters will decide at the city eiec-
tion that he shall continue to look al
for tho welfare of the city," said
nrominent business man TO-DAY. MI
Hunt has certainly done more to ad-
vance Walla Walla than any other
maroon in the city. Notwithstanding ne
has an extensive business "hich oc-
crnies much of his attention ne mas

stand at the head of the city govern
ment. He is competent to handle the
important questions that are contin-
ually arising affecting the welfare of
the city, and especially at this time
would it be unwise to place a new and
untried man in the mayors chair. Mr..
Hunt fully understands every want of
the city and Is more conversant with
the many civic improvements now M
der way than any other man In the
city and for that reason alone he will
certainly be re-ele by a large ma
jority.
''The oppor 1T of Mr.. Hunt is good
citizen Of Walla Walla. but in my
OPINION he is not able to handle the
city affairs equally as well as Mr..
Hunt. Mr.. Kellogg is possibly a good
business man but when 1t comes to
taking hold of the big propositions that
confront Walla Walla, he certainly is
not big enough, nor has he the ability
to assume the great responsibilities
that go with the position of mayor of
Walla Walla"

TRAVELLING MAN ARRESTED.
Wanted In Spokane On Alleged Grim
inaI Charge.

PENDLETON, Or, June 29.-F.
Heyman, a travelling man, was arrest
ed here yesterday by Marshal Cur
dane upon instructions from the Off
GERS at Spokane. While in that city a
few days ago he is said to have had
a draft cashed upon Smith & Skiles, OF
New York, whom he represents, and
when queired by wire concerning the
check they declined to honor the same.
AS a result a warrant was issued for
Heyman and his arrest was ordered
upon his arrival here.
Upon being arrested Heyman de-
clared he had dore nothing criminal
and that his draft should have been
honored He was not placed in Jail
here but was allowed to remain at the
Hotel ST. George.

man held the Office there was less
crime committed in Walla Walla than
has been reported since he retired from
the Office 1t is a well known fact that
Kaufman had the, courage and back
bone to perform his duty regardless of
sentiment or what effect it might have
on his political future. This is quite
in contrast with the present incum-
bent of the office, who is accused OF
trying to carry water on both shoul-
ders." 1t is no secret that the subordi-
mates on the police force are ham,
pered to a great extent in the proper
discharge of their duties by the in
consistent instructions given them by
their chief, who never makes a move
until he has had an opportunity of
feeling the public pulse to see if any
contemplated action would result in
injury to his candidacy for e-election.
What the people of Walla Walla de-
sire for chief of police is a man that
can be depended upon, and a majority
of them believe that Kaufman is such
a person.

The friends Of ]. J. Kaufman are
very confident that he will be the next
chief of police of Walla Walla. They
are claiming that Mr. Kaufman is
gaining strength every day and that
when the election rolls around he will
win out with a handsome majority. AS
an evidence that Chief Brown is los

cited that he has not been able to con-
troll all the members of his force J.
was given out today that Brown had
quite a lengthy session with one of
his policemen yesterday, who has de-
clared that he could not consistently
support his superior officer
1t seems to be the general opinion
that Kaufman is pre-eminently the
best man for the job and that the vot-
ers in general will support him. During
the many years that Mr.. Kaufman
filled the place he handled the police
department Of Walla Walla better than
it was ever handled in the past and
in a more satisfactory manner than
has his successor The police records

E. ]. Mccormack comes to life.
The erection of the new o. r. & N.
passenger depot at the foot Of Main
street, for which the company has set
aside $4,000, threatens to be indefi-
nitely delayed through legal entangle-
ments that have arisen in acquiring
title to Lot 6, Block IS, Ritz addition,
formerly owned by E. J. Mccormack.
The o. R. & N. at the last session of
the superior court brought condemna-
ton proceedings against Mr.. McCor-
mack and a jury awarded him 1875
in payment for the property. Mr.. Nc
Cormack's whereabouts were unknown
and he made no defense to the con-
demnation proceedings Evidently Mr..
Mccormack has come to life as the
legal firm of Brooks & Bartlett today
formally filed notice in the superior
court that the judgment obtained by
the o. R. & N. would be appealed to
the supreme court
The action will probably result in
delaying construction work on the new
passenger depot and terminal grounds
until the title to the property involved
is definitely settled.

Commission and Railroad Represent.
atives Conferring
DISCUSS DETAILS OF new DISTANCE RATE
RAILROADS WILL PROBABLY
MAKE FIGHT AGAINST THE
JOINT WHEAT RATE.

Following the adjournment of the
railroad commission hearing yester-
day the members of the commission
and the railroad representatives
held a lengthy private con-
ference on the Jones building
touching on the important points
of the partial decision rendered by the
board The conference was resumed
last night and taken up this afternoon
at the Hotel Dacres.
The object of the conference was
to reach an amicable agreement on
the rates modifying the general dis
tance tariffs. SO far but very little has
been accomplished along this line, and
it is very probable that final con-
clusion will not be arrived at today.
In that event it will be up to the COM
mission to work out the details for the
the railroad men.
Adjustment Difficult Problem.
The adjusting of the distance tariffs
involves many important questions
and it will require much thought and
labor on the part of the commission
to work out all the details SO that the
new rates will be satisfactory not
only to the shippers of Walla Walla
but will also be equitable so far as
other localities in the state are con-
cerned.
It is very evident that the railroad
men are willing to give relief to the
Walla Walla shippers, but they do not
want to go so far as to cause any
trouble from other cities in the state. 1t
is generally believed that the railroad
companies will accept the ruling of the
commission on all matters passed on
with the exception of the joint wheat
rate. On this question the railroad
representatives have indicated that
they are not satisfied with the order
and hint that the matter may be taken
into the courts. This will result in the
constitutionality of the act creating the
commission and the powers granted
heing one of the main points at issue
WaIIa WaIIans Pleased.
The Walla Walla people who took
nrominent part in bringing about the
recent hearing are feeling very wei
satisfied at the effort and they ex'
nress a feeling that Walla Walla vii
receive very substantial beneht II
the matter of better freight rates.
The members of the commission ahe
the railroad people will leave tonish
for their homes. The commission
when it reaches Olympia will go ovel
the evidence in the distributing rat'
