would weaken the track so as to allow
the rails to spread and throw the train
off,"
Mr.. Bronson said that this had not
been confirmed. He was unable to say
how many persons were killed or IN
iured. Speculation as to the speed OF
the train when it struck the curve was
general among survivors OF the wreck
tonight but there was little upon which
to base a reliable estimate. According 70
some railroad men who have watched
the train pass this point, the express
usually reaches the curve 10 minutes al
ter drawing out OF the station at 18TH
street. The distance between the two
points is about six miles.
Shortly after midnight Coroner Schwan-
necke made a statement in which he
said:

I found a defect in this rail. which indi-

SEATTLE AND PULLMAN QUARREL BRINGS
SMILES TO FACES Of LOCAL C0LLEG|ANS

Whitman viewpoint is that the idea of
holding an interscholas site track meet
and defamation contest was not orig
mated in either Seattle, or Pullman
but was a product of the brains of
the executives of Whitman college,
The students of the local college are
quietly smiling as they suggest that if
any thunder is being stolen it must
be of the missionary variety.
The scheme to hold a track meet
and defamation contest in which the
secondary schools Of the Inland En-
pire should take part was started by
Whitman college abou. five years ago.
The purpose was to advertise the COL
lege by getting students attending in
stitutions which would naturally come
to Whitman interested in the local
college by visiting it.
Missionaries Were Orignators.
Medals were provided by Whitman
for the winners in all the different
events and the representatives of the
half dom schools who came to take
part were furnished entertainment
while here.
Many students were interested IN
Whitman as a result Of the scheme. A

in the air. Just who will manage base
ball is not yet decided as it is likely
that there will be some transferring OF
shares in the old stock association be-
fore the matter is finally settled on.
The feeling is general in sporting
circles that Walla Walla will now sup
port high grade team and if this is
not organized by one person it will be
by another and. before the daisies
bloom again. too.
Some of the old local stars are dis
cussing the plan of getting together
and organizing a team themselves and
appointing a player manager but moth
ing will be done until spring opens up
The prospect of a crackajack team
at Whitman college which will afford
good practice for any professional OF
mi-professional team that may be
organized in Walla Walla will be nc
small factor in the success of the ef-
fort to get a city team this year.

INLAND EMPIRE LEGISLATORS REGARD
PASSAGE Of OPEN RIVER BILL CERTAIN
Dr. Baock Home From His Boosting Trip Into Oregon Says
Eastern Washngtonians Made Diplomatic Stroke When They
Obtained Votes for Columbia River Bill

pledged themselves to support it and
although the Yukon exposition, bills
are already through it is scarcely like
ly that these legislators will go back
on the pledges they have made to the
east side delegation to vote for the
open river bill in return for their SUP
port for the exposition.
West Side Wants Our Support.
"The west side people want the sup
port of the people of the Inland EN-
pire for their exposition as it would
be a serious thing for them if they
did not get it and they will not an
tagonize us by breaking their pledges
in my opinion.
"Our delegation is working tooth an
nail for the bill. Mr.. Weber was down
to Portland when l was there and we
went together to the Office of J. N.
Teal of the open river association and
got a lot of facts on the question
which Mr.. Weber wanted. He is well
prepared for the battle.

college took up the idea and also ex-
tended invitations to. all the higf
schools in the Inland Empire. They
went Whitman one better by Offering
to pay the railroad fares of contest
ants in the meet.
Whitman found its funds were toe
limited to admit of such expensive ad-
vertising, and so renewed it's offer on
the original basis.
Although much pleased with the
treatment received at Whitman, the
superior inducement of the railroad
fare turned most of the schools to
Pullman and last year so few accept
ed the invitation of the local college
that the track meet part of the inter-
scholastic contest was discontinued al
though the defamation contest was
held.
So successful was the scheme as
student getter that the state unlver-
sity adopted it last year for the nrs'
time Now Washington and w. ,. Z
are contending for the honor OF orig
mating the scheme which Whitman
brains gave them.
This is why the contention from
Seattle looks so funny to the mission
aries.

ARGUE CASE ON A TECHNICALLY
Saloonmen Charged With Violating
Sunday Law Say It Is
Unconstitutional.

Judge Thomas H. Brents of the SUI
perior court will decide whether Louis
GrOssmiller and John kremer were
guilty of keeping their saloons open
June IA, in violation of the Sunday
closing ordinance.
City Attorney Blandford and Attor-
neys Pedigo, c. c. Gose. j. l.. Sharp
stein and Oscar Cain representing the
defense argued the case this morning.
The defense contended that in ac-
Cordance with the state law the city
could not cover the same question with
an ordinanc, as it was unconstitutional
for a person to be charged twice with
the same offense Attorney Blandford
declared the city could create an ordi-
nance in conjunction with the state
law.
Judge Brents took the matter under
advisement.

much pleased with the attitude WASH

whether DR.. Blalock will be sent to

Immense Masses Of Snow
0bstruCt Main Lines
TRAINS MAY so TO PORTLAND
If Tracks Can Be Cleared In
Time o. R. & N. Will Send
Special Tonight

Mountains of snow drifting in the
railroad track where it passes through
the gorges of the Cascade mountains
in Oregon last night have again
blocked traffic on the Q. r. & n. rail-
road just after the main line had been
put in shape again from the effects of
the recent floods.
The Spokane flyer and the Portland
flyer were annulled last night hav-
ing only been able to make one trip
Saturday night. Them ain track is now
clear except for the mass of snow near
Bonneville.
The Spokane-Pendleton passenger
trains. Nos. and 8 are running today
via Wallula and Umatiila. 1t is hoped
the damage between this city and
Athena caused by the recent fresnee
can be repaired by Wednesday so di-
rect communication between Spokane
and Portland can be restored. The
freight trains on this run will be
abandoned until the track is cleared.
Communication with Milton is still
cut off. hut zhe Dayton branch con-
tinues to be operated without Interrupt
ton.
May Open Portland Line Tonight.
The o. r. & n. company is strongly
hopeful that the main track will be
cleared tonight so that Nos. and
can make their trips on schedule
time. In that case the mixed will leave
for Wallula this evening.
The w. & c, r. is running on prac-
tically schedule time with the excep-
ton of the Oregon line. The train
came through from Seattle this morn
ing and no reports have been received
of any snow trouble on the Northern
Pacific between here and the Sound.
The damage done by the washout in
Vansycle canyon on the Oregon branch
Of the w. & c. r. will probably be
repaired by tomorrow when trains
will run to Pendleton as usual.
Practically no inconvenience has re-
suited to Walla Walla from the five
inches of snow wnifh fell here last
above zero last night and kept below
90 during most of the morning. The
barometer is rather high and steady
which leads the local weather official
to disbelieve that there will be any
more snow tonight.

NOVEL USE OF HONEYMOON
Adiutant Storey and Bride to Sing On
Streets Of Walla Walla,
Wednesday.

Preaching and singing to convert
souls to the teachings of Jesus Christ
is the unusual way in which Adjutant
Percy Storey of Seattle and his bride
are celebrating their honeymoon.
Storey, who is one of the leading
workers in the Salvation army at Seat
tie, was married recently to the daugh-
ter of Brigadier Jenkins, commander
of the army for this section of the
country.
Bride and groom will visit Walla
Walla, Wednesday evening, and will
take part in the services at the army
barracks on Alder street. Much pleas
ant anticipation over the visit of the
happy couple is being indulged in
among women of the local army corps.
They will remain here only a day and
will then continue their evangelistic
honeymoon, stopping at the larger
places throughout the state.
