WHITMAN GETS
MARBLE BUST
PROF. ANDERSON PRESENTS
COLLEGE WITH FINE WORKS
OF ART.

Prof. Louis F. Anderson has pre-
sented Whitman college with marble
bust of the apollo Belvejere," a re-
markable piece of sculpture which
Prof. Anderson imported from Florence
some two years ago. The bust is a
copy of the famous Apollo Belvedere''
which is now in the Vatican at Rome.
1t is a valuable piece of marble and
the gift means much to the college. 1t
will be mounted on a pedestal in the
college library.
Prof Anderson has also presented
the college with two photographs of
Grecian ruins, one Of the Acropolis
the other of the ParthenOn. The pict-
ures are about four by five feet in
size and are among the most beautiful

SEATTLE. Sept. 6-John Riplinger,
accused of being short $1S,17S in his
accounts as Sontroller here is dan
gerously i'll on his banana ranch in
Honduras, where he has defied efforts
to bring him back to Seattle.
According TO word that came to Sc
attic, Riplinger is suffering from ma
laria and from an abscess on his leg.
The leg was broken in Mexico While
on a prospecting tour and healed in
Los Angeles, where Riplinger stayed
in security until few days before
his shortage was discovered. Though
the broken bone in his leg knitted
again an abscesS has now formed
that is regarded as dangerous.
Riplinger took one trip into the
Honduras mountains for his health,
but reports coming from that coun-
try today say that he is back at his
banana plantation near Ironia, on the
north coast of Honduras. Officers
will redouble their efforts to bring
him back to face trial, believing the
serious condition of his health may
induce Riplinger to abandon his fight
for liberty.

Anyone who has odd jobs or regu-

along this line they need if they call
up Pres. Penrose, Prof. Bratton or the
assistant treasurer George Marquis.
Every year there are many deserv-

order to get through college want to
do any work they can obtain to help
raise the necessary funds. To d
able of services one can render fox

dents here who cannot otherwise come.
In former years this employment bu-
reau has been operated with success
by the president and many Of the cit

to get odd jobs done. The students

In speaking of Walla Walla, he said:
During the time l have been absent

and stores equal in attractiveness to
those to be found in any of the large

"The interurban car lines have

THAT new SEATTLE SPIRIT
POLICE REFUSE BAIL TO BLIND
SOCIALIST ORATOR WHOM
THEY ARREST.

J. 3. Osborne, a socialist orator and
two years ago, socialist Candidate for
governor of Georgia, attempted to con-
duct a meeting on Pike place Wednes-
day evening and was arrested by Ser
geant Mcdonald. He spent the night
in the city jail, the chief of police re-
fusing to admit him to bail, says the
P.-I.
Osborne refused to cease speaking
when requested. You'll have to ar
rest me to stop me-" he told the Of
ficer, and Oh resuming his discourse
he was promptly taken into custody
The crowd of auditors numbered about
100.
Osborne, who is more than 40 years
of age and nearly blind, was followed
to the station by several of his friends,
who offered to put up bail for him.
This was refused under instructions
from Chief Wappenstein. who declared
that the socialists had been warned
that any attempts to hold meetings in
the streets would lead to arrests, and
that if Osborne was to get bail he
could secure it from the court.
Osborne, who was married on Au-
gust last, was visited in The jail by
his bride. Being far from weep ng
state, the woman seemed to view the
arrest as a humorous incident, as in
deed did her husband. After talking
for a few minutes, Mrs. Osborne prom
ised to bring a nice, hot breakfast
around i'll the morning. She was ac-
companieJ to the Jail by Mrs. H. +.
