WILL II EFFECT

MONEY STRINGENCY IN THE
EAST MAY LOWER FOOD
PRICES IN WALLA WALLA.

AS a direct result of the money
stringency in the east, the local mer-
chants are looking forward to a clear.
cut in nearly all food products. AL
ready the west is experiencing a
change for the better. In Seattle, yes
terday. eggs began on their downward
flight; the quotations yesterday read
ing two cents lower than at any time
during the last month. AS conditions
in Portland practically dictate the con-
di ions in Walla Walla, the news reach
ing here today to the effect that Port
land prices are now lower. is indeed
good to listen to- Whether this condi-
ton is really attributed to the calm
following the financial storm, seems to
be doubt in the minds of the local
merchants. Whatever the reason, a
heavy burden will be relieved from
the shoulders of the Walla Walla wage
earners.
Still High, But We Need Them.
Il do not expect a change in the
price of either butter or eggs for at
least two weeks" said a local merchant
today Il notice the Chicago quotation
of eggs has decreased 10 cents per doz-
en- This, of course will have due effect
in the west within a short time, for
the price is sufficient to justify the
shipment of large quantities from the
east. Ranch eggs are very scarce
throughout the state.
Butter Price Still up.
The prices now being paid for but
ter and butter far in Washington, ac-
cordng TO authentic advices, is higher
than in any other state in the union.
This is undoubtedly caused because
the farmers of the state are devOtir-g
the greater part of their time to the
raising of grain. Locally merchants do
not find it difficult to secure sufficient
butter for their patrons.
Meat price Will be Loser.
Despite the fact that mutton is high
and promises to go still higher. local
meat men are constant in their belief
that beef and pork will be quoted
lower Swift and Cudahy,- in recent
royal proclamation" say so, and OF
course their prophecy goes long way
with the people in their divided realms.

Dragging Story Questioned.

At first the dragging story was ac-
cepted without question, but now
there are persons who hold that the
only drug used in accomplishing Miss
Loving's downfall was whiskey. The
Estes and those in sympathy with
them deny that there was an assault,
and point to young Estes behaviour
after his return as inconsistent with
any other view He himself procured
the physician for the young lady, and
the next day went about his business
with entire unconcern. General re-
gret is expressed that Judge Loving
did not allow young Estes an oppor-
tunity to explain, and some say that
he shot too soon. Criticism has been
made of the smalness Of the bail
bond. The case bids fair to excite
as much interest in this section as the
sStrother-Bywaters tragedy.

Ellender lost his life trying to save
the men o. the outer end of the pier.
superintendent Edison, who was in
Jured in the performance of the same
vessel, vas not seriously hurt.
All the victims were employees of
the Baltimore Bridge Company. This
was a two-story building 1000 feet
long and its estimated cost was $780,
600. About $50 feet of it sank.
Warning of the disaster was heard
several days ago when the piles to-
ward the end of the pier began set

made to save the structure.
Saturday shortly before the disas-
ter occurred the piles began settling
In such an alarming manner that or
ders to leave the place were ~circulat-
ed among the fifty odd workmen and
1t is due to this fact that the casual
ties were not greater. Those caught
were on the end of the pier on the
roof.
The falling of the pier into the
water created a tremendous wave in
the harbor and led many persons 10

Child Labor Bill Passed.

Tallahassee, Fla, Specialize
Senate passed the child labor bill by
a majority of two and the measure
is now to go before the House.
Sentiment against child labor mas
been carefully nurtured in Florida by
the labor unions, for in no city ex-
cept Tampa is child labor employed
to any degree. A strong lobby has
worked against the measure on the
ground that it would legalize the idle
ness of the negro youth, which is
proftably employed in the fish and
oyster factories along the coast. 1t
is likely that the measure will pass
the House.

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT FINLEY

0OuIuS44 . hAOEub4N0 O6iVG1S AL
dress Before Number Of Represen-
tative Business Men Under Aus
pieces Of Mobile Commercial Club.
Mobile, Ala, Special.-President
w. w. Findley, of the Southern
Railway delivered an address before
a large number of representative busi-
ness men under the auspices Of the
Mobile Commercial Club. He was
introduced by Vice President E. il.
Russell, of the Mobile & Ohio Rail
road. President Finlay said in part:
"The commerce of the United
States with the Latin-American coun-
tries is now growing more rapidly
than that with any other part of the
world and the completion of the
Panama canal viii give a great i'm
petus to the development of all the
countries south of the Rio Grande.
"There are only two ways of reacE-
ing markets-rail and water. Meth
er is sufficient alone. Water trans
pOftation is not adequate for interior
commerce, nor by ITSELF for coaswiss
or for foreign commerce. Rail trans
p~ortatiOn must stop at the shores OF
the sea.
"1t would be just as logical for the
people to array themselves against
water transportation or to undertake
to hamper and cripple it as it is for
them to array themselves against rail
roads and to favor success which will
hamper and cripple them.
81 think it is apparent that any
public policy toward the railroads
which limits their power to increase
their facilities and their carrying ca
pacity to keep pace with, or to even
anticipate the active production of
the Southern people, is destructive of
the best interests-of the vital inter-
ests-of the people themselves.
"It is unnecessary to point out 10
intelligent business men that the pow
er of railroads to increase their ia
~cilities is dependent upon their II
ing capacity and their credit or that
their credit is dependent upon sus-
tanned, earning capacity. The roads
cannot expect to earn enough from
their current operations to provide
themselves with the facilities abso-
lutely essential In the interest of our
people. The money must be borrow
ed.
"I do not believe, that, with a full
knowledge of the facts and with a
full appreciation of the destructive
consequences to the railroads. to their
revenues, and to their capacity 20
serve the public, either the Govern
or the Legislature would have favor
ed the legislation in question and
when the true facts are known, I have
supreme confidence that the course
ofthis company and Of other Alabama
carriers will be upheld by the conser-
vative and by the sense CT justice and
right"

Moy Fokni was probably murdered sat-
urdav night by unknown thieves who vis-
tied his laundry and residence at 26l Gram
ston street.
A great deal of mystery attends the cir
cumstances as Fokni Is the only one VINO
can tell OF the occurrences at his shop.
The fact that Fokni had been foully
dealt with was not discovered until yes
terday morning when William B. Potter
of III Cranston street called at the laun-
dry for his linen shortly after o'clock.
Finding the front door locked, he went
10 the back door which was open and
found Fokni lying in bed his face to the

unconscious and apparently in critical
condition, to the Rhode Island hospital.
The scene OF the assault is small

ed and lived alone and did not do large
business.
The back door. when Mr.. Potter went

half open at the top, but there were no
signs of an entrance having been forced.
The neighbors say that the laundryman
was accustomed to sleep with the back
door and side window unfastened or open.
Although the wounded man. 1t appeared,
had not struggled after being struck. nor
even awakened, the appearance of the
room indicated that there had been

cover had been pried open, evidently with
the hatchet.
The wound on Fokni's head was sever
al inches to the left OF the crown of the
head and two or three inches long. The
surgeons at the hospital said that Il had
been made by a dull-edged instrument,
probably by hatchet. A knife found in
the mans bed was OF the butcher kind. n

was found, and was partly cleaned In this
manner.
Chief Inspector Horton this morning
said that a blood-covered hammer was
found in the room, and doubtless that was
the weapon used.
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Merrill Pre-
cinct Detective Johnson, Detective Ahern
and Moy Ping Foon OF 1898 Westminster
street and c. Moy of II Pine street, Mil
ford, Mass, the last two relatives of Moy
Fokni, visited the laundry and made a
careful examination. the two Chinese be-
ing closely questioned on every point that
could throw light on the affair.
Moy Fokni is said to be 81 years of age
and to have a family in China. His home
is in the district OF Sanding, county Of
Quon-chu and province OF Canton. He has
been In business in several American cit
les in the past half-dozen years.
He came to Providence from Woonsock-
ct about three months ago and bought
the laundry business at 361 Cranston
street for s120, borrowing at the time, his
relatives say, about $3.50. They say he may
have had 500 or so on his person, or in
the place.
Fokni at 1880 o'clock today was report
ed to be in a very critical condition, un-
conscious, and with the result very much
