Washington, Nov. S-Early action
will be taken in the supreme court Of
the United States in the contempt PRO
ceedings growing out Of the Chatta-
nooga lynching case. Prosecution of
alleged lynchers in other states have
been delayed in hope that the justices
of the highest court in the land would
lay down in this case the broad prin-
ciples to be followed i'm all such pro.
ceedings. Attorneys on both sides Of
the Chattanooga case are agreed that
an opinion early this winter is desir-
able.
Solicitor General Hoyt, upon his re-
turn this week to Washington, will
draft, with Assistant Attorney General
Canford, who has charge of the case,
motion for a day to be set for argu-
ment
The contempt proceedings arose out
of the lynching of Ed Johnson, a negro
rapist, while the supreme court was
considering an appeal to it by John.

Johnson's execution delayed, but
mob strung him up.
Sheriff Shipp and his deputies were
charged with contempt in not protect
ing the prisoner, and about twenty cit
liens for alleged participation in the
lynching. Commissioner James d.
Maher, appointed by the court, has
taken all the testimony in the case.
The Powell case of Huntsville. Ala,
will doubtless be governed by the
Chattanooga decision. Robert Powell
was indicted by the federal grand jury
for conspiracy to injure Horace Ma
pies, a negro. There is no dispute
about Naples being injured to the ex-
tent of having his neck stretched to
the limb of a truce until he was dead.
Powell's attorneys claim that if he
committed any offense, it was an Of
Tense against the laws of the state
alone and not of the United States.
The federal court of Alabama agreed
with his attorneys, and for the first
time in the history of American juris-
prudence, the United States appealed
to the supreme court in a criminal
case. This appeal was taken under a
law congress had just passed author
izing the United States to appeal in
criminal cases under certain circum-
stances.

ADJUSTMENTS
Come; out and Laugh.

| "A good laugh Is the best or
sauces." physiology tells us. If this
is true, the people of Walla Walla will
be treated to an extravagant banquet
of good wholesome sauce at the Key
tior Grand Opera house tonight. This
feast of amusement will be giver. by
the Whitman College minstrels. a
troupe of 60 first class artists who
have been chosen from among Whit
mans most talented students.
The minstrel show proper, which will
compose the first part of the big show,
will excel anything of the kind ever
seen in this city. The six witty end
n1ert have fund of jokes, puns. local
hits, and marvellous stories which
would make Mark Twain, NJ. Quad, or
Thomas w. Jackson green with jeal-
latest solos sung by the black men.
| BY no means the least hit Of the
evening will be made by little Harry
Macy, "Dim's boy who will sing a
solo.
The end men will be ably supported
by the College Glee club of 16 voices.
The club won fame throughout the
northwest last year ard is better still
this year. The songs which they sing
are of a high class.
Remember that all this is only one
third of the show.
One of the features Of the Athletic
show is the unique torch swinging act
by Prof. D. V. Mitchell, the director
iof the Whitman gymnasium. Mr..
Mitchell wraps himself in wreaths of
flames that whiri and flash around MS
head and body in a manner that win
make nervous persons fidget in their
seats and wonder if it hurts him.
Hard and faithful practice on the
lpart of the young men comprising the
Gymnasium team has made them as

But when she glanced to the far-off

The cloud in the west would bring foul

And Maud forgot her brier- torn gown,
On her feet SO bare, and her tattered
gown.
And listened, while a pleased surprise
Looked from her long-lashed hazel
eyes.
At last, like one who for delay
