BUSINESS MEN
AGAINST GRAFT
Sign Protest Against Private
ScaVengePs

Walla Walla merchants are practi-
cally unanimous in opposing the pri-
vate scavenger graft. Every merchant
of Importance in the city signed the
remOnstrance against the same which
was circulated by the secretary Of the
merchants association today. The
petition will be presented to the coun-
Gil at it's meeting tomorrow evening.
Not only did the business men sign
the petition gladly but many of them
expressed the opinion that the action OF
the council in proposing such an ordi-
nance was very peculiar.
The number Of business men who
have already signed the petition is "a.
The secretary only met with one re-
fusal to sign the petition among all
those whom he interviewed.

the first ward. Harry H. Turner, cash.
Ter of the Baker-Boyer National bank
and formerly president of the CONNER
cial club. is persistently mentioned in
connection with the council.
There is perhaps more quiet inside
talk about the office Of city attorney
than any other. The opinion is heIu by
many leading business men and men,
bers of the local bar that Walla Walla
has now reached size where a change
should be made. Some members of
the council are said to be in favor of
increasing the salary for the Office to
$4,000, or even $2500, year If neces-
sary in order that the office might be
an inducenent to the most able attor-
neys in the city.
1t is reported Oscar Cain has declined
to have the place on any terms and
that Frank Sharpstein has been talked
of in connection with it.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Edward C. Mills will run against H. s.
Blandford in the republican primaries
and that Attorney E. F. Barker will
make the race for the democrats, al
though it is said by friends of the lat
ter that he does not want the Office.
The opinion is also expressed that
BlanuIord could not be beaten for re-
election no matter who run against
him. His eight years of encumbency
are pointed to as particularly fitting
him to be valuable to the city during
the coming year.
Up to date there has been little or no
talk regarding successors for Alfred
Bachtold. second waru councilman and
William Kirkman from the third ward.
The terms of both expire this summer.
Rachtold declines to run again.

HIT BY TRAIN
YET He LIVES
Fred ehaQh Knocked Across
Tracks al PasCo

Struck in the back by the west bound
passenger at Pasco. Saturday night.
and hurled across another track where
he lay senseless until after daylight.
Fred Ghaul was at hands grip with
death as it is lucky a switch engine
did not happen to be passing before he
was found by a workman in the yards.
He was carried to the depot and later
brought on the w. & c. r. train to this
city and is now in st. Mary's hospital
with an excellent chance of recovering
from his injuries.
Ghaul says he was crossing the track
and did not see. or hear, the train
coming. He knew nothing after he was
hit until he came to his senses the next
morning.
Ghaul is an ex-sOldier and comes
from New Jersey, from which state he
went to the Philippine Islanos with the
volunteers during the war.

hcers and must obey the state law
where it conflicts with the national
law. was the cause Of the action Of
Clerk Dorsey Hill.
The attorney general says that "ex-
listing laws of the state of Washington
In the matter of the collection of fees
must be followed. any provisions Of the
national law to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The fees which the state law requires
to be charged are $3.50 at the time OF
making the declaration Of intention and
$500 when the final papers are issued.
But the national law provides fees of
81 at the time of declaration: 81, at
the time application is made and 81
when the final papers are issued and
Section 81 of the national law says:
1T shall be unlawful for any clerk
of any court or his deputy or assistant
exercising jurisdiction in naturalization
proceedings, to demand, charge. collect
or receive any other or additional fees
or monies in naturalization proceedings

fed. and the violation Of the provisions
of this section in any part thereof shall
be punished by Imprisonment for not
more than two years or by a fine OF not
more than $1,000 or by both such nne
and imprisonment"
Since the opinion of the attorney
general saying that the state law Is
paramount the county clerk came to
the conclusion that 1t was case OF
"pen" if you did and fine II you didn't.
and the only safe thing to do was not
to naturalize by either law.
There Is no law requiring a county
clerk to naturalize and it has only been
done by them heretofore as a matter Of
accommodation.
This will result in little Inconvenience
in Walla Walla for the reason there Is

the boxers would switch their strength
to Will Baker and endeavor to boost
him into the mayoralty. John Smith

also talked of some in connection with
the office.
Coupled with the name of Kaser for

among the politically wise ones that

universally popular. 1t is said Brown
was elected last year only because of
this promise as by virtue of it many
votes were turned from Kaufman to
Brown. 1t is thought that even if he
should go back On his promise to Davis
the popular Irish captain could easily
beat him in the ballot battle.
Charlie Painter is said to still cherish
ambitions for the Office of chief, but
his affiliatiOn with the 'Bunc'-Kees
gang has cost him so much of his one

from now on.
Upon the advice Of the superior Judge
the county clerk decided the only safe
way to avoid getting into trouble by
disobeying either the federal law, or
the new state law, which will go into
eject June 13, was to quit naturalizing
altogether.
The blanks and forms onshand at the
clerks office will be sent back to the
