THE ORIGINAL.
JACK S|MPk|NS?
MAN WHO BEARS LIKENESS
OF GRIM NAL.

Was Jack Simpkins, the alleged
murderer of Ex-Governor SteunenberS
| in Walla Walla last night?
Sometimes, in fact very often, tip
or "hunch'' as it is generally known,
proves fruitless to the police authori-
ties and oftimes the peace guardians
are given a bum steer" when in quest
of criminals. 1t was nevertheless
somewhat of a surprise to several of
the fellows congregatsd in the central
Office ,dst evening when Chief Mike
Davi, said: Il may have wrong
hunch this time, but 1 believe l saw
Jack Simpkins Oh the street tonight.
Morse, let's have a squint of Jack S
handsome features again"
The sergeant produced a large bulky
book containing the pictures of hum
dreds of wanted criminals. Several
minutes were consumed in locating
Simpkins. The chief looked at Jacks
likeness for several minutes, then
closed the book and walked toward the
door. Il believe that's the fellow:
medium heighth, dark hair, small shift
ty eyes-discription tallies to dot.
Say, that $4,000 reward holds good,
don't it?" Without further ceremony,
the chief left the station.
That the noted criminal for whom
the keenest detectives in the United
States have been searching for nearly
two years could possibly be in Walla
Walla, seemed a joke, too good to be
true. Mixes eyes are still good how
ever, and it is seldom that they fail
to trail suspicious looking character.
I'D like to wager a months salary
that Jack Simpkins is 5000 miles away
from Walla Walla at this moment"
said one of the officers after Mike left
the room. Il doubt very much if he
knows there is such a place as Wal
la Walla> On the map.
The stranger, whose likeness was
really responsible for the conversa-
ton. cannot be located this morning.
Yesterday he was seen about the
streets and on one occasion seemed to
be considerably interested regarding a
certain conversation in which a local
blacksmith and a friend engaged. The
incident was reported to the police late
last evening and from the description
given he was undoubtedly the same
man suspicioned by the chief.

DEATH CAUSED
BY EXPLOSION
FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING
SAD DEATH OF ROY
PAINTER.

Deputy Sheriff Charles Painter re-
turned last evening from the Painter
ranch 40 miles north of Walla Walla.
where he was hurriedly summoned
yesterday morning in response to a
message conveying the sad news of his
brother ROy's death.
The details of the fatal accident
were made known this morning for the
first time as the story was repeater
several times to Mr. Painter by Jim
Barnes and Charles Anderson, both of
whom were at the Painter home when
the accident occurred.
According to the account of the ac-
cident as given by both men, they had
just finished paperiLg the Painter
home when one of the boys proposed
that they go out and get a goose for
dinner. The proposition met the ap-
proval of the other two men and Roy
went in search of the old Winchester
rifle which had not been used for
many months. AS sOoL as he returned
with the gun he Immediately started TO
clean it. AS the barrel was somewhat
rusty the first cloth wad stuck to the
rust about half way between the end
was impossible to bulge the wad with
the ramrod, the gun was taken to the
little blacksmith shop some distance
from the house and placed in a wise.
One of the boys was evidently engaged
in hammering the wad further in the
barrel when the gun exploded, tearing
the breech in pieces.
When the smoke cleared away, Roy
was found lying on his injured side,
breathing his last Without stopping to
examine the wound, Anderson mounted
a horse and rode with all possible
speed to the home of j. f. Painter. a
brother of Roy's living several miles
distant Barns, who remained at the
shop. made hasty examination and
found that the unfortunate man had
died almost instantly. The projectile
which caused the fatal wound. was
found to be piece of the sharp steel
torn from the gun and which had evil
IDENTIFY pierced the heart. AS soon as it
was found that Roy was beyond all aid.
Barns followed in Anderson-s trait. At
the Painter ranch he told that Roy
was dead, and it was from this place
that the telephone message was sent
to Charles Painter telling him that it
was not necessary to bring physician.
The body arrived in the city or the
O. r. & n. passenger train this after
noon. The funeral arrangements will
tomorrow morning.

JUST A JOKE
|. IN WALLA WALLA
Garden City Knows No
Panic Scare
BANKS HAVE /REAl MONEY
FEW CERTIFICATES APPEAR
BUT ARE READILY ACCEPTED
-CHECho ARE cAonED
WITH COIN.

Walla Walla, according to outside
in the great northwest where pleasant
humor takes the place of seriousness
when money matters are at issue The
old, fitful, throbbing world on the out
side may cry financlaI ruin condemn
the actions of financial figureheads,
and in fact do many surprising things
but Walla Walla nestles closer to old
Dame Confidence and as a result the
daily routine of business goes steadily
on as before. Banks are all open to the
public and the smiling cashier passes
the time o'day without froWn and
cashes your check without a murmur.
People Oh the outside are beginning to
set up and take notice and while
the name of Walla Walla may not be
will be better known to the financial
world in the future.
Many amusing incidents have hap
pened since the first clearinghouse
certificate found it's way to Walla
Walla. Seriously, the little slip of good
faith made rather humorous debut,
and if all the stories regarding it's ad-
vent were true, the funny writer's of
Puck or Judge would reap a good
laugh harvest in the Garden City.
Fancy dignified merchant boarding
street car and in response to fare
please" produce a clearing house check
for IS. Laughable of course, but it is
true. The conductor looked at the cer-
tificate for moment and then without
further hesitancy handed back the
correct change.
Imagine also, well known business
man who after a strenuous day of
work entered a saloon for the purpose
of obtaining his usual night-cap. The
dope cost him 10 cents and in part
payment for same he produced a $40
cleariL house certificate. The proprie-
tor after studying the paper for a mo-
ment got busy and handed him a per-
sonal check calling for $685.
These are only few incidents
daily occurrences in Walla Walla. Yes,
the old world may drum along, uneasy
spectators may cry their ruin stunt
until dOom's day, but Walla Walla
will be the same Staid and solid city
it has always been. Financial ruin has
ceased to be serious matter of con-
sideration. 1t is now one of the seven
day wonders and a joke at that.

FRANCE WILL WELCOME TAFT.
Kaiser Will Entertain Him and Tower
Has Program.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-The French gov
ernment is greatly pleased at the re-
ported decision of Secretary William
Il. Taft to Stop IL Paris en- route from
the Far East, and is anxious to honor
the American statesman. A dinner
given by President Faillieres doubtless
will form part of the program, but
everything will depend upon the
length of the secretarys stay. Beyond
the fact that he will arrive December
y. nothing is known. Even that date
may now be changed by modification
of Mr. Taft's itinerary after leaving
ST Petersburg, Russia.
In view of Emperor Williams de-
cision to remain some time in England
after his official visit to King Edward
and his consequent absence from Ber-
lin while Mr.. Taft will be there. the
emperor has invited Mr.. and Mrs. Taft
to visit him in England. This invita-
ton, which was extended through
CharlenNgne Tower, the American am
bassador to Germany, who is now in
Paris, should reach Mr.. Taft upon his
arrival at Vladivostok IN November.
Mr.. Tower believes the secretary will
accept the invitation, which necessari-
ly will involve a Encouragement of his
itinerary. The ambassador, however,
also expects the fulfllment of the re-
m3inder of the Berlin programme for
Mr.. Taft's entertainment, which in
cluCes a reception by the members of
the American colony and embassy and

HIGH SCHOOL
FOR GAMBLERS
EVANGELIST HART SEES MOTH
ING GOOD IN PARLoR CARD
PLAYING.

"Just as the high school or col
world. the parlor card game prepares
one for gambling. You might as well
brig harlots to your parlor to keep
your sons from going down town to
find them as to let them play cards in
YOUR house. for that is a sure step to
the gamblers table" Such is the con-
cIusiOn drawn by Evangelist Hart in
his sermon against parlor gambling
last night.
eft is as great a sin for man or
woman to play cards and receive
nrize at the er.d of the game as it is
for a hobo to gamble for beer. a gam
bier to gamble for money The devil
cbuckies every time he hears of card
game"
Pev. Hart chose for his topic last
NIGHT The sins of cards or parlor
Gambling" In cards the speaker could
see no good at all and unhesitatlngly
denounced all who were of different
on;nion In whirlwind of invective
against the popular game, he showed
the evils and shame resulting from IL.
At the end of the sermon ne called lot
,.o,unteers TO kneel and pray for SIN
nars To this call about 1Oo0 people
resnondel. From an audience larger
oven than usual. the speaker led IL
neonla to see the error of their way

NO THEATERS ON SUNDAY
SAYS SUPREME COURT

OLYMPIA, Nov. Z 15.-Theatrical
performances may not be given on
sunday according to a decision of the
state supreme court rendered We'd
nesday, in the Pierce county case OF
the state against Charles Herald,
manager of the Tacoma theater. The
prosecuting attorney filed an infOrma-
ton charging Herald with violation OF
the Sunday law, section 1886, Pierce's
code. A demurrer to the information
was sustained by the lower court on
the holding that the law prevented the
opening of the theater building Sun
day. and thus prevented church SER
vices or lectures being given there.
and, therefore, was an unconstitutional
interference with the use of property.

BIG BUILDING AT CORNER OF
POPLAR AND EAST STREETS
is NEEDED.

At the meeting of the Commercial
club last night. it was suggested by
some of the members that the big
tabernacle at the corner of East and
Poplar streets which has been built
and used for the revival services this
fan be purchased by the Commercial
club and used for various mass meet
lnSS which are to be held during the
coming year and for which there are
at present no accommodations.
Next year is the presidential cam
palgn and there will be stump speeches
galore, political speeches without num-
Der and at present there is not a
place of any kind to hold such meet
ngS. The acquisition of a building
like the one in question would be
great aid to the solution.
Another thing for which the building
could be used. is the carnival next
TALL The queens coronation. the Vau-
deVille features, the events given Tor
the entertainment of the queen during
the week and for a dozen other things
the building would be valuable.

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-In speech
before the alumni of the United States

Speaker Joseph Cannon came out in a
fiat-footed declaration in favor of the
return of the army canteen. His re-
marks are construed to mean that
either the speaker deliberately intend
ed to offer an affront to those who
meted out such severe punishment to

cause of the cocktail incident or that
the speaker feels that congress will
certainly return the canteen to the
army next session.
In your church and in all churches"
he is quoted as saying. there are
people who believes that every one
should be good. They are against the
social glass and cigarettes. They have
a right to their opinion and in the eX-
ercise of that right took a stand
against the canteen. The result you all
know. ! think that congress ought to
preserve the canteen for the good of

the step and suffer the consequences"
