Generals in each state have been com.

Peoria, Ill.-The widow of the late

No will has been found and policies

The failure to verify the sale of Ma

Cheyenne surgeons were called to the

The assassin fired from a distance OF

show also that the assassin aimed at
O'Neil's body, the trajectory Of the

Trades and Labor council, took a new
turn last night when Secretary Van
De Water publicly branded as false,
the statement that he had engaged De
Caprio's band without authority, and
the Walla Walla Trades Council
adopted resolutions requesting and
urging the directors of the fair asso-
citation to employ the Walla Walla
band.
The action of the Trades Council
was brought about through a report
submitted by a committee from the
Walla Walla band yesterday that the
fair association had signed a contract
with De Caprios band without giving
the Walla Walla band a proper hear
ing. Secretary Van De Water later
in the evening denied the statement
that action had been taken by the fair
officials. relative to closing a con-
tract with any band.
What the Secretary Says.
Secretary Van De Water said:
There has been no contract signed
either with De Caprio's band, Wag-
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-08-04

there is not a single word of truth in
the statement" Secretary Van De-
Wafer declared. 1T is true that
have received a contract from De Ca
prios band but it has not yet been
signed nor will it be until the music
committee SAYS so. The contract was
merely sent with the De Caprio band
bid for furnishing the music, in order
TO avoid unnecessary correspondence
if the Portland bands bid was ac-
cepted. All the different bids for fur
nisbing music for the fair are in the
hands of the music committee and
suppose a decision will be arrived at
in a few days"
Because of the absence of Director
Fischer. who has gone to the noun
tains with his family, there will be
no concert by the Walla Walla band
at the courthouse tomorrow night. A
concert will be given a week from to-
morrow night.
At a meeting of the Walla Walla
! Trades and Labor Council last night
the band question was taken up and
the following resolutions were
adopted:
"Whereas. 1t has come to our notice
through a publication in the Evening
Statesman that the committee of the
Walla Walla Fair association has con-
tracted to engage a band from Port
land to furnish the music for the COM
ing fair; and,
Whereas. We believe from informa-
ton given us that the Walla Walla
Military band, an organization on
union principles and local municipal
service has been overlooked and mis-
represented and.
whereas, We believe in the en-
enlargement and support of every Or
ganization and enterprise which tends
to benefit and increase the welfare
and prosperity of our city;
Therefore, Be it resolved that we,
the delegates to and members of Wal
la Walla Trades and Labor Council,
do hereby respectfully request and
urge the directors and committee of
the Walla Walla County Fair associa-
ton to reconsider the alleged action
in engaging an outside band and to
employ the Walla Walla Military
band. a local organization, to the end
that united support may be given to
the county fair by the members of
, union labor organizations, the business
men of the city and all who are in
dividually interested in the mainte-
nance of our splendid corps of mu
Sicians."
