ParabalOO Whitman,


Never irl the history of Whitman
athletics has there been so much en-
thusiasm shown in a game by the city
and college as there is today in the
gridiron battle between the state uni
versity and Whitman college.
This morning a crowd of business
men paraded the streets of the city
and every man who passed was i'm
media, ely taken into custody and dec
GRATED with colors, cane and horn.
Staid business men with gray hairs,
men who have not yelled for years,
men who had no intention of going to
the game, men who never wore Whit
man colors before, are now proudly
displaying the blue and maize and
helping those who roped them in to
rope others
Even the mounted police force was
hauled from its horse and forced to
don colors and decorate the animal
the squad rides. No excuse went with
anyone and when men on the streets
ran short. de gang went into stores
and hauled out men who were selling
goods One man was just selling
hat, When, without any explanation, he
was hustled out of the store and over
TO the Book Nook, which was the
headquarters for the Whitman rooters.
Jake Kaufman was brought in through
double doors and decorated. Every man
who CHANGED to pass was nabbed and
ended by buying. Some tried to rum
but de gang" had several who were
footracers at one time ard have not

were no escapes made along that line

TOBACCO USERS
ARE NOW !|! HAPPY
DEALERS CLAIM FAMINE IN FAv-
ORED WEED HAS BEEN
RECEIVED.

The tobacco famine has at last been
relieved and now smokers of fancy
brands of weeds may secure the goods
at any of the local tobacco dealers.
The cause of the scarcity of smokers
supplies is attributed to the almost i'm
possible means of shipment from east
ern points. The tobacco famine has
not only been noticeable in Walla Wal
la, but was general throughout the
northwest and it is most likely that
there will be a scarcity of tobacco
during the winter months.
Bull Durham, the favorite cigarette
tobacco may be found in the market in
small quantities, but it is probable that
more will be received during the pres
ent month. Tuxedo. at one time a
popular pipe tobacco, is now down and
out as it was discovered that the to-
baccO contained certain ingredients
harmful to the smoker, (mostly brown
paper saturated in tobacco juice) and
therefore the pure food commission

FROM
PEN|TENT|ARY
WITH BUT FOUR MONTHS TO
SERVE JAMES BURkEY
MAKES HIS GETAWAY,

With but four months of five-year
sentence left TO serve, James Burkey,
a convict, sentenced from Spokane for
burglary, last hight made his escape
from the penitentiary and is still at
large.
Burkey was employed in the brick
kiln and when the conyicts were
formed into line to- go to their supper,
he slipped down on the outside anl
made his way into the darkness in
sAad of joining the file whicAe went UP
to the prison. He was sort Of trusty
and was given more liberty than the
average prisoner, both on account of
his good behavior and because his SEN
tence was so nearly up. For this reason
he was not missed at once.
His escape did not go long unnoticed,
however, and guards and bloodhounds
were at once put on his trail. These
showed the direction of his flight was
toward the railroad tracks in the low
lands. He is said to have been seen
near Dement'S mill with citizens coat
and hat but still wearing his striped
trousers. 1t is thought he headed to
the track in an attempt to board the
night train for Wallula
Word was at once sent to the au-
thOrities of the nearby towns giving
them notice of the escape ard an accu-
rate description of the man. Burkey
was five feet two and one half inches
in height, had dark hair, gray eyes.
poor teeth and scar over his right eve
and on the back of his head. He was
sentenced for five years from Spokane
for burglary and had served a little
more than three years of his term and
with the usual discount for good be-
havior would have had but four
months more in prison. His chances
of escape are poor.

PRESTON TO APPEAL CASE
MOTION TO ARREST JUDGMENT
DENIED BY SUPERIOR JUDGE
BRENTS.

The motion to arrest judgment in
the case of the state versus Charles
Preston. was overruled by Judge
Thomas H. Brents in superior court
Yesterday afternoon. The motion OF
appeal was filed this morning.
The case has been one of consider
able in. crest for reason of the ban
placed on gambling in this city. The
raid on gambling houses during the
early summer and which was later fol-
lowed by several arrests caused a gen.
oral scattering of the green cloth
knights and it was then thought that
he gambling fans would be quieted for
all time to come. The resort alleged
to have been conducted by Preston,
however. was not considered as gen.
eral gambling house as participants III
the games met by agreement, and the
doors were not open to the generai
public.
Preston did not deny being con-
nected with these games oscar Caiii'
his counsel made a strong ana wen
ha1anced plea before the jury in Wh1ch
ne contended that inasmuch as the re-
sort was not conducted openly tne
r;r,a was different than the gambling
crimes ruled upon by the state su-
prene court. :. &

INDECENT AND
ALSO IMMORAL
SUCH is EVANGELIST HART'S
OPINION OF THE MODERN
DANCE IN SOCIETY,".

In an hour and As minutes of vitri-
oic denunciation of the dance and
card playing, Rev. Hart declared
there was absolutely no good in either
of them. that there was every danger
and harm lurking in them.
Taking for his text Galations VI, Z
and s, Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap" he pointed out that
no one could SOW the seed of dance
and cards and reap the harvest of sal
vation or even decency.
Along this line the speaker made oc-
casioh to take a shot at the evening
dress worn by the ladies of today IF
l We're to walk into this pulpit with
my shirt off you would think I was
crazy, but | have just as much right
TO do so as the women of today have
to cut off the top half of theirs. Some
OF the attitudes taken by dancers are
enough to make hell itself blush for
shame. 1t is contrary to all sense OF
decency among moral people
Following the sermon, some 20 peo-
pie came forward in answer to the call
ard made testimony of their conver-
sion.

NEW ORGANIZATION OF CHURCH
MEN is BEING TALKED OF IN
THIS CITY.

Much interest is being taken by the
churches of the Walla Walla PRESIDE
trv in the movement now prevalent on
the sound in forming associations of
men. known as the Presbyterian
brotherhood The object of the organi-
zation is to more effectually carry on
the work of the church. Concerning
this plan. Rev. ]. c. Reir says:
THE movement is in harmony with
general plan recommended by the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church. L. s. A, in 1906. for the car
rying out the idea of the Presbyterian
brotherhood This new organization
held its first meeting in Indianapolis
last fall and will hold its second meet
ing in Cincinnati on the II, 13 and l4th
of this month. The plan contemplates
toe formation of state organizations
which will bear the same relation to
the national organization that the Sy-
mods bear to the general assembly
This no doubt will be followed by or
ganizations corresponding to the Pres
byteries and these by organizations in
all the local churches. When this has
been accomplished the men of the
denominations will have an organlza- l.
tion as complete as the church itself.

ian Brotherhood has come to stay

SECOND IN NAVAL STRENGTH
Navy Department Shows Nations
Position by Tonnage.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-An inter-
esting statement showing the relative
order of warship tonnage of the princi-
pal powers has been compiled at the Of
flee of Naval Intelligence, which is in
tended as an answer 10 frequent in
quiries of persons throughout the
country who have manifested an inter-
est in the maintenance of the navy and
its relative strength and Importance.
The statement shows that according
to the tonnage of today. Great Britain
leads the world with a tonnage of l.
633,116, the United States following
with tonnage of Gil, GIG, France
third with a tonnage of 6O9,079; Ger
many fourth with a tonnage of 529.-
OS2; Japan next with a tonnage of
314,'01, and Russia, Italy and Austria
following in the order named.
However were the war vessels build
ing by the various nations nom COM
pleted, the United States would be
third in the list, with a tonnage of I'll
75S, following closely France. which
would be second with tonnage Of
S46,112, ands Great Britain the leader
with tonnage of 1,S21,61O. The other
naval powers would stand in the same
relative positions as they do with their
tonnage of today, although each would
have very substantial increase.

CREDIT CHECKS At CHICAGO
Sentiment Of Bankers Favors Rssump
ton Of Cash Payments.


CHICAGO. Nov. S.-Tne sentiment
among some of Chicago's leading bank.
ers that the time is fast arriving when
a resumption of cash payments would
be feasible and desirable was not one
OF the encouraging features of the To-
cal banking situation yesterday. This
sentiment was based on the increasing
supply of cOrrency being piled up in
some of the banks In one bank il is
said the supply of cash is not far from
S2O.OOO.OOO. and the deposits at that in
stitution since the banks adopted the
clearinghouse certificates have amount
ed to several million dollars.
Nevertheless the clearinghouse COM
mittee had before it the detailed form
OF credit checks, which may be issued
under the authority of the Clearing
House Association. These forms. if
adopted will be a medium for exchange
for universal use, as convenient as cash.
1t is likely these credit checks or certi-
flcates will be in use before the re-
sumption of cash payments becomes a
reality. Word came from Washington
that clearinghouse checks in small de-
nominations to be used as a conven-
lent medium of exchange would be held
by the Government to be legal.
An opinion by Attorney General
Olney, given in 1898, was cited as evi-
dence that they would not be consid-
cred violation of the currency laws.

Canadian Farmers Gel More
! For Their Grain
WHEAT IS sHIPPED,,ILoOsE
MONEY COULD BE SAVED 1Y
GROWERS IF EXPENSE OF
SACKS COULD BE
ELIMINATED.

Sid Coyle of this city, who owns ex-
tensive wheat lands in the Alberta
country in Canada has just returned
from the High River district of that
country, where he has been looking af-
ter this years crop.
"One thing in which the Alberta
farmer has the best of the Walla
Walla farmer, is that he gets a much
better price for his grain, although he
is no nearer to market. Wheat has been
from $1.0S to $1.14 in Winnipeg this
fall and the price at Alberta is some
cents under that, meaning about 92
TO SO cents. This price does not include
sacks, as the grain is shipped loose
country get their own cars and do their
ownshipping. The grain is shipped
loose and they do not have to pay the
big middlemar.'s tariff.
''The crop this year was good, al
though the season was a little shorter
than usual and some of the grain did
not get ripe. Other grain is high in
proportion, barley bringing IS cents a
bushel and oats bring so cents.
Il am well pleased with the coun-
try. While there, l was impressed with
the two things l nave mentioned
above, however. The farmers here, it
seems to me, could cut out the middle
man and ship direct, as some of them
are doing. Another thing which is a
needless expense is sacks Why they
are needed here any more than any
Where else, 1 do not Sc. COmbind ma
chins would be hard to run perhaps,
but this could be arranged by dumping
the grain after il is sacked and using
the same sacks many times, thus do
ing away with large expense. In some
places the grain could be rur. right
into the wagon from the machine,
where the country is level, or nearly so.
At any rate, h think something could
be done along these lines by the farm
ers Of this country"
