''Everything looks promising, even

was the summary of an optimistic let
ter from Senator Pauly to the Walla
WaIla Commercial club which was re-
ceived this morning.
The senator says that a compilation
Of the various appropriations will
shortly be made so that the legisla-
ture can tell just how much money
will be needed for all. 1t will be about
Sc 100000 Or an excess of $1,000, 900
over the amount of money on hand.
To meet this and not cut down any
appropriation would mean an in
creased levy of half a mill Senator
Pauley thinks that the people of the
state would rather pay this additional
amount than have the $125,OOO for the
open river and the $216,0OO for an ad-
dition to the penitentiary equipment
and jute mill supplies cut down.
Mr.. Pauly is very hopeful that all the
bills will pass. He thinks there is

ious 10 Struggle
HIS FRIENDS GET THE MOST VOTES
JUDGE BRENTS REFUSED TO
HAVE CASE SETTLED IN
COURT WHEN BALLOTS DO.

At the annual school election held in
Wallula, Saturday, candidates who are
friendly toward Prof Fertig were
elected. The result of the election will
probably settle the dispute between the
principal and the old board of directors.
Some time ago the directors became
dissatisfied with Prof. Fertig. His res
ignation was requested to be handed
to the board Immediately. When the
request was made the board engaged
the services of an oregon teacher to
take the position held by Prof. Fert1g.
Mr.. Fertig refused to give up his work
and the directors locked the princl-
pals door. An order was secured
from the superior court restraining the
noard from interfering with the school.
Agreed to Election.
The board then agreed to let the
matter be settled at the election held
Saturday afternoon. Shortly before
the election, however, the attorneys FOR
the interested persons tried to bring
the matter before the court. Judge
Rrents refused to hear it until after the
election.
The Commercial club Interested itself
in the matter and the ticket which II
named was almost unanimously elect
ed. 1t is thought the election OF the
new board will forever settle the
trouble which has been brewing Tor SO
long. The opposing ticket favored the
election of John Douglas, the Com
mercial clubs candidate.
The vote was as follows: CONNER

opposition received the following: John

TO Be CADET
Fred Gi|bPeath 10 Represent
Stale al West Point
He IS WHITMAN STUDENT
Senator Ankeny Leaves Choice
of Future Soldier to
Oliver Cornwell
He IS WHITMAN STUDENT

Fred Gilbreath, of Dayton, a member
of the sophomore class Of Whitman
college was recommended Saturday
for appointment to cadetship at West
Point from the state of Washington.
Senator Ankeny, who is entitled to
this appointment, wired a few days
ago to o. T. Cornwell, chairman of the
county central committee asking him
to make a recommendation.
The appointee was to fill the place
left vacant by the resignation of John
Paxton, who was a student at Whit
man college at the time of his appoint
ment, SO that Mr.. COrnwell asked the
Whitman college authorities to assist
him in making a recommendation. At
ter canvassing among some of the best
material in the college the faculty de-
cided to recommend Gilbreath.
Mr.. Cornwell said this afternoon that
he had not yet heard whether the ap-
pointment had been made.
Gilbreath came here nearly two
years ago from Dayton, and entered
the freshman class at Whitman college.
He is a young man of fine physique
and excellent ability. He ranks par
ticularly high in mathematics and is
a brother of Professor James Gill
breath of the Whitman college faculty
who graduated from the college last
June, and is now instructor of the
mathematical department.

WHITMAN ASKS
FOR CLUB AID
Commercial Association Maq
Help to Bring Meet
COLLEGE CAN'T PAY FOR ALL
Cost of Holding Track Champion
ship Contests Is Estimat-
ed Around $500
COLLEGE CAN'T PAY FOR ALL

Aid may be asked of the Commercial
club by Whitman college to assist it
in bringing to Walla Walla the i'm
mense track meet of all the hign
schools and academies in the Inland
spring.
If the club is asked to assist it will
be requested to raise funds to bring
a team of 10 athletes each, from 10 of
the leading high schools and acade-
mics. The college itself will provide
funds for paying the expenses of the
smaller schools which are close by.
The manager of the Whitman track
team estimates that the total outlay
which would be required for bringing
10 teams here would be in the neigh
borhood of $500.
Heretofore the college has only paid
for the entertainment of the visiting
athletes while here and the result has
been that the superior financial induce
ments offered by Washington State
college and the State university, have
resulted in attracting nearly all the
secondary schools to send their repre-
sentatives to Pullman and Seattle in
stead of Walla Walla
Good Place for Meet.
Walla Walla is far better place to
hold the meet On account of location
and climatic conditions than either of
the other places and lack of finances
is the only thing which prevents the
big contest from being held here. 1t
is believed by the college authorities
that the visit of $50 to 200 of the best
young men in the Inland Empire to
vantage to this city to make it worth
while for the Commercial club to as
sist in getting them hede. Besides this
a meet of this size and Importance
would attract excursions from near
ly every point in this part of the three
states of Washington, Oregon and Ida
no.
Secretary Moore said this afternoon
that no application had yet been made
to the club by the college authorities
to aid in bringing the high school
teams here. The club will shortly be
put to large expense in getting out
advertising literature so that it is
somewhat doubtful if it will be in a
position to back the college this
spring.

COURT CALLS JEROME DOWN
States Attorney Tries to Inject
Error Into Record of
Case

NEW YORK. Mch. 4.-The report
stand brought increased crowds this
morning. Evans was recalled There
was some delay as the court is pre-
pairing for the March grand jury to.
begin work. ....
Jerome told Evans he would only
ask him few questions and began by
asking if the fact that Thaw showed
GOODNESS after the shooting and walked
away calmly, holding his gun over
his head was evidence of insanity.
Evans said it indicates insanity i'm re-
lation with accompanying facts and the
theatrical manner of the killing.
Jerome concluded cross examination
of Evans at II. DR.. Wagner was
called for cross examina ton.
Jerome tried unsuccessfully to make
Evans admit that Thaw's words and
actions after the shooting indicated
insanity. Evans evaded direct
answer to all the questions and said:
"Thaw's statement, that he ruined his
wife, indicated that defendants mind
was weighed dowaT by the thought that
prrs' ed him 50 lo'.-te tha- of his w'fe's
Gebauchery.'
The sum of the, admissions Jerome
was able to secure from Evans are the
facts that at the time he shot White.
Thaw was suffering from "one- of the
insanities of adolescence, and that 1t
is positive he had insane knowledge
of his actions.''
During Jeromes examination as to
authorities, Wagner was recognized by
the court which dealt the prosecution
a blow by reference to his persistence
in trying to inject an error into the
record"
Wagner's discussion of his examin-
ations of Thaw in the TOmbs was in
terrupted by the recess for lunch.
Afternoon Session.
Jerome after lunch resumed the ex-
animation of Wagner. Witness was
to definitely state the form Of
insanity from which the defendant is
suffering.
