HARRY DAVENPORT POPULAR
Cousin Of Famous Caricalurist Is
"SaWy" Cd|egian

Seldom has any action of the faculty
Of Whitman college given greater sat-
isfaction to the student body Of that
institution than did the appointment
of Harry Davenport Of the junior class
yesterday evening to be marshal of
the commencement ceremonies for the
present year.
Expressions of the pleasure felt by
the students could be heard on every
hand at Billings and Reynolds yester-
day evening. Davenport is recognized
as not only one of the brainest men in
the class of 1908 but he is very popular
as well. He is in the very front rank
of the college men so far as influence
goes. Although not first rank ath
lete he is a good basketball player and
has made himself felt somewhat in
football and baseball.
By some of the faculty he is regarded
as the best student in Whitman at the
present time as he adds to keen
brain the power of expressing what he
knows in a clear and pleasing manner
which makes his grades "topnOtchers."
Davenport is also the only man in
Whitman college who is a member Of
two debating teams this year and in
the opinion of some close observers he
will be the leading debater in college
next year in spite of the fact that I'M
til the present year he did not make"
the intercollegiate platform. He leaves
today for Pullman as a member of the
team which will discuss the street rail-
way question with the state college and
later in the spring will probably lead
the trio which discusses the negro
question with Willamette university.
The Office of marshal is regarded as
the highest honor which the faculty
can bestOw upon a student at the close
of his junior year. The duties involve
acting as chief usher at the COM
mencement exercises and at convoca-
ton next fall. The marshal leads the
commencement professional and escorts
the different students to the platform
| to receive their diplomas.
Professors Lyman, Hendrick and
Ruby were designated by the faculty
as a committee to have general charge
| of the commencement program, this
year.

ALLEGED SLAYER USES DOG.
Wright, Accused Of Murder,
Says Gas Stove Killed Family.

DENVER, Col, March 19.-District
Attorney Stidger. announced today that
he would prosecute Benjamin c.
Wright on the charge Of having muir
dered his wife and daughter, who were
found dead in their home in this city
Feb. Is. and that he had secured much
evidence in support of the allegation
that the woman and child were pois-
oned by Wright.
The alleged confession made by
Wright to Chief of Police Delaney is
said by attorneys for the defense to
be worthless as evidence having been
obtained by the use of physical force.
Three physicians who examined
Wright in Jail after he made the con-
fessiOn declared that he had recently
been cruelty beaten.
No poison was found in the bodies of
Mrs. Wright and her child, and it is
alleged by the defense that their deaths
probably were caused by carbon dioX-
ide from a defective gas heater in
which fire had been burning all night
when the bodies We're found. AS test
of this theory, the defense placed a
dog in the house with the gas heater
burning and after two hours, it is as
serted, the animal was taken out as
phyxiated.

EAST ERMERS INVEST VAST
SUM IN OK BOW PLANT

BAKER CITY, Or, March 19.-Mil-
lionaires, with ample money at hand
to complete the Ok Bow project, in
stall new electric plants throughout
eastern Oregon and Idaho and build
electric railways if necessary, have talk
en- hold of the Snake river power pro-
ject, the Electric Power company of
Boise, Idaho, and most of the electric
companies of this section and have
practically completed their consolida-
ton. These men are the Mainland
brothers of Boston, who have incOrpor-
ated the Idaho-Oregon Light & Power
company, organized under the laws of
Maine. A capital stock of $1,000, 900
will back the new company and it is
understood 100000 in bonds have al
ready been f1oated.
The scheme as outlined by the Main
lands is gigantic. They will distribute
the enormous power to be obtained
from the Ok Bow to all parts of the
inland empire, run lines into the rich
copper belt, the gold districts and the
cities and many also take up the con-
struction Of electric lines in the rich
eastern Oregon country.
The Electric Power company of Boise
in which the Mainlands are the heaviest
stockholders, elected officers few days
ago and it was announced at the time
by Harry c. Wyman, president and real
promoter of the Ok Box project, that
the two companies would be CONSOLE
dated.
1t is learned that the new company
has control of the power plants at On
tario, Emmett, Caldwell, Meridian and
all of the upper Snake river valley ex-
cept those already held by the Pitts
burg capitalists who are backing the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
at Spokane.

DRINKS ON HIS SUNDAY SUIT.
Decision Against SaIoonist Who Tackled
Bar Bill to Pawn Ticket.

DULUTH, Mimi, Mch. 19.-George
Sheehy "hocked" his Sunday suit of
clothes win Charles McDonough, pro-
prietor Of the %. P" saloon, for $40
some days ago. When he came to re-
deem his outfit Sheehy says he found
that the salOoniSt had a tag on them
marked "$31.25." This was the evil
dence of the plaintiff and which was
admitted by the defendant in the re-
plevin suit of Sheehy against McDon-
ough in the municipal court.
When the saloonist declined to ac-
cept the $40 from Sheehy, the later in
stituted replevin proceedings, with the
result that Constable Woods is now in
temporary possession of Sheehys
best" During the course of the trial
McDonough stated that Sheehy owed
him $21.25 on an old bar tab, and said
he concluded it was a good time to
collect it by putting the tab" on the
suit.
The clothes are of the latest design
and. according to Sheehy, his tailor
taxed him SAL for the outfit. Sheehy
further denied that he was delinquent
in his bar tab, and declared the sa-
loonist must have charged him up
with some other fellows drinks. Judge
Parker held that the saloonist had no
right to tag the clothes for another
account and awarded the plaintiff dam
ages in the sum Of six cents. 1t is un-
derstOOd that the saloonist will take an
appeal and in that event the constable
will still hang on to the clothes.

SOUL WEIGHERS KILL DOGS.

/
Have Any Eternal Spirit.
BOSTON, Mass, March 19.-Dr.
John Sproul of Haverhill and DR.. Will
liam V. Grant of Lawrence today gave
some addition details to DR.. Duncan
MacDougalps experiments to show the
existence of the human soul. After
tests with dying men and women he
showed in every case a diminut1on
of weight at the instant of death of a
half to one ounce. DR.. Sproul said
the experimenters killed 10 dogs rang
ing in weight from Is to 20 pounds
Each case was watched with utmost
care, but at the instant of death not
the slightest diminution IN weight was
shown on scales adjusted to show
variations of a tenth of an ounce.
/ DR.. MacDougall, the author of the
original experiment, today said:
There is really nothing proved yet'
the research must continue extensively
to conclusively demonstrate that the
soul has weight. Though, as far as
know, experiments of this nature have
never previously been undertaken. NJ
erature contains suggestions along this
line. In the early part Of the last CEN
fury Rudolph Wagner considered the
disposal of the soul substance. One
of the Quincy family also wrote some
thing on the subject. 1 hope to contin-
he the work and any hospital that VIII
give us the opportunity to make otner
experiments will be rewarded.
The standing of the five physicians
who conducted these experiments is Oh
tho highest character and their Verac-
itv is not questioned here.
