MR.. PERRYMAKS PUBLISHED STATEMENT
Walla Walla Union, April 13.

Wd1ld w uAAd OulOu, ApL4A
''In the issue of the Athena Press of

the public schools with a very poor
guess and butchers his English in the
very first sentence. The schools were
not closed Ey any expressed desire of
the board, nor of any patron, nor OF
any chaotic condition An emicablo
agreement to close at a certain time
was effected.
''The statement that the parents are
unanimous in an opinion that the prin-
cipal is incompetent is unwarranted.
They have not given him the authority
to make such statement We have
not seen Mr.. Boyd near the school
premises this year, though he has
often been invited; yet he criticizes
the board, the principal, the parents.
the teachers and the pupils. A meet
ing of the taxpayers was held some
time ago. Was Boyd there? No one
saw him.
''It is true that pupils have quit
school,. some from necessity, some
from choice, some probably because
they did not like their teachers. espec-
tally the principal. The records show
that the same thing has occurred be-
fore. There are school rooms in the
building that were once filed with
pupils. They are now empty. There
are several empty buildings in town

Told BOrah Matter Before It
Was Court Record.
ROUNDLY SCORED BY JUDGE
Members Warmly Lectured by Beatty,
Since When They Have Closed
Up and Don't Talk.

The public is still without particle
of reliable information respecting the
indictment voted by the United States
grand jury at Boise, against Senator
Borah on Thursday. Between the
time of the vote on Thursday after
noon and the meeting of the grand
jury the next morning half a dozen
jurors had told all about the vote, but
after the Friday meeting they closed
up. 1t is understood they were given
warm lecture Friday morning by the
District Attorney. as the exact vote on
the indictment had heen published
that morning.
It is thought the holding of the
grand jury together until June II was
to prevent their talking. Judge Beat
ty cautioned them strongly on that
point when he announced they would
be excused until that date.
There is a strong belief that the in
dictment of Mr.. Borah has been held
up until the Department of Justice can
look over the evidence, which has all
been taken down, but it is the opinion
of those closest to the Senator that the
indictment is on file.
Friday United States Circuit Judge
William S. Gilbert, in Portland, will
hear arguments in the application for
a writ of habeas corpus which has
been brought by the attorneys for l..
g. Chapman, an officer of the Barber
Lumber Company, of Boise. Idaho.
Chapman is one of the officers of the
lumber company and was indicted fol
land frauds. Refusing to produce th'
company's books for examination b,
the Federal grand jury, Chapman wa
adjudged guilty of contempt and wa
committed to Jail. Through habea
corpus proceedings he now seeks t
regain his liberty.
1t is for alleged completely in tn
frauds with which the Barber Lumbe
Company is charged that United State
Senator w. q. Borah has been report
ed indicted by the same Federal gram
jury that has returned an information
against the lumber company. Thi
phase of the case adds to the interes
in the pending writ of habeas corpu
proceeding.

American Magazine Man Finds
It to Be Flourishing.
PUBLICITY IS THE ONLY HOPE
Steffens Says Heney Did Good Work
In This State, But Holds That
Society Is to Blame.

A San Francisco special says that
Lincoln Steffens, the graft Investigator.
is again in that city. after having been
away for six weeks in Oregon, where
he went to look into the state of cor
ruption. He came to San Francisco
in February to turn the light of pub
licity upon the venal administration,
it's political bosses and the bribe-giv-
ing officials of the public service cor
porations. But finding that Heney
had long way to traverse to the end
of his labors Steffens bethought him.
self to keep busy until the local situa-
tion had cleared somewhat to permit
of an uEobscured view of our civic
same. Accordingly he went to Oregon,
expecting to spend two or three weeks
in his Investigations. Instead he re-
mained six weeks and still did not get
to the bottom.
"It is the old, old story" he said;
"the story of graft. It is a beaten
trail to me now. / no longer care to-
ward what city l direct my investiga-
tions. It is all the same. Corruption
is everywhere. The public think it is
new. Because the scene is set in new
locations and the names Of the persons
are new. But it is not new.

care that an individual is corrupt.

that can make graft possible in the
condition of society that gives this op-
portunity for the prostitution of public
office to private gain. The public is
responsible.
cit is the same in Oregon as every
where else. as in Pittsburg. in Phila-
delphia, in San Francisco, and in
Washington. Our governm ment is not
representative of us, but Of crooks in
the public service corporations. in the
special interests. which in order to OBJ
tain valuable privileges must corrupt
all that can oppose them. They infiu.
ence this person and that person, and
they in turn bear upon other, anc
soon the whole system is vicious. The
public is affected. and the only differ
ence is that the govreinng class is the
least scrulpulous part of the public.
In seeking advantage they have revo
lutionized the whole government.
"What is needed is strong presen'
tation of facts to the public to rouse il
to au appreciation of the danger.
"Heney did Zig work in the land
frauds of Oregon. Not alone because
he has put men in jail, but some of the
citizens of the state who before had
thought they we're entirely respectable
and superior persons were shown to be
allied with the grafters. The expo
sures deferred the grafters in othel
lines for a time. aud made them lesi
bold in their operations, but the con
dition yet remains. y

their fame was heralded to the world.
This The Journal will do. It is one Of
twenty-three papers in different sec
tions of the country seeking the most
beautiful woman in America and it
wants photographs of ali the pretty
women in the state.
Send in photos. Nobody barred ex
cept actresses and professional models.
Athena has some pretty girls who
would "look we'll" in the Jeurnal's
columns. and their friends should sec
that they are represented. The fret

third $25. There is no charge what
ever connected with the contest. Ad.

Horses Being Worked Out.

Over so head of work horses are now
quarteied at the Walla Walla race
track where they are undergoing light
training preparatory to the harder
training which will start as soon as
the weather breaks says the Bulletin.
There are about Eve different strings
of horses on the grounds which include
two strings of runners. Several of the
horses are owned py local people who
have them in care of trainers. The
track is now in very soft condition
and working the horses out is rather
hard because of the continued rains
which soften the track, making il
very damaging to travel on it.

Run Down at the Heel.
Milton Eagle.

The public school at Athena will
be closed on the 26th inst. the term
being shortened by d month. The
reason for the action is that the school
is run down at the heel. The higher
grades Of the school have diminished
until there are but six pupils left in
the 9th grade. The 10th and 18th
grades have melted entirely away, the
last four pupils in those grades leaving
school in body. According to the
Press the trouble appears to be that
the people of Athena have been trying
to run the school on the "cheap John"
plan and consequently picked up a
'perfessor" said to be incompetent.

Lulu CHASER Married.

NEW YORK. May A.-Caught in the
spring matrimonial epidemic among stage
stars. Miss Lulu CHASER, popular comic
opera star and musical comedy favorite, be-
came the bride Of Ralph C. Herr, an Eng
lish actor, yesterday. The wedding took
place at the Little Church Around the Cor
ner, the Rev. DR.. Houghton officiating No

date members of Miss Glasers family were

Mr.. Herr and the comic opera star first
met two years ago. when he played the
leading comedy role in Miss Dolly Dol
lars in which Miss CHASER was starring

pany. and was later engaged by Charles
Dillingham; for Miss Maxine Elliott's sup
port.
Miss Chaser scored her triumph on the
comic opera stage In Francis Wilson's

COREY MAY JOIN scHwAB.
Wall Street Hears He Will Ente
Bethlehem Company.


NEW YORK, May A.-Despite all official
statements to the contrary. 1t may be stated
on the best authority that William q.
Coreys resignation as president of the
United States Steel Corporation has already
been rendered, and will be accepted at the
next quarterly meeting of the board of
directors, If it is not acted upon before
then.
When the steel king sailed for Europe
last week with his actress bride he had
practically severed all relations with the
corporation, requesting only that his resig-
nation be not announced until he had been
abroad for a few weeks. A. G. Dinkey,
president of the Carnegie Steel Company,
will be his successor.
That Mr. Corey has been selling all his
holdings of the steel stocks Is general
ly believer. AS president of the COM
pany he held a large amount of its securi-
in part for the recent weakness In those
issues.
Wall street was very much interested in
report that Mr.. Corey will now Join
hands with Charles M. Schwab In the Beth
lehem Steel Company, of which the latter
is the principal owner. Mr. Schwab; who
is recognised as the best steel man in the
country, formerly occupied the position Mr..
Corey now holds, and gossip in the street
has it that his resignation from the trust
was not due so much to newspaper noto-
riety as to refusal to answer the beck
and call of Andrew Carnegie, who Is under
stood to be still the ruling power in the
steel trust
with Schwab and Corey working to-
gether, the Bethlehem company, 1t is said,
will become the most important steel plant
outside Of the trust.

CITY OWNS ALL UTILITIES.
Wisconsin Delegation to Ohio Town
Gets Big Surprise.

BELLEFONTAINE. Ohio, May pa
recent visit Of an official committee from
Kaukauna, Wis, to this city to study the
model municipal management" fhe only
community in the United States owning all
Of the public utility plants. has caused the
state to send an expert accountant to in
vestigate. The Kaukauna committee went
home and reported:
''The plant electric light) at Bellefon-
taine. was in such a shape that we had
the municipal idea nearly knocked out of
u.s." There is no sewerage system in this
CITY, for not enough money has been saved
from operating the municipal plants, though
such a system Ia badly needed.
AS to the gas plant, man named Adkins
came to town and offered what he termed
a new and patented process for manufac-
turing water gas" The city presented him
$4,000 to install plant. The cd plant had
been torn down, when an attorney found
water gas could not be patented. The
"patentee" has not returned since. The new
plant was taken out at great expense and
the present system put in. Gas Is now sup
piled through the same pipes, yet $1.25 is
charged for illuminating purposes and 90
cents for fuel purposes. The householder
could get his illuminating and fuel gas
through the same meter and the city would
be none the wiser.
