WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S.-SeD-
ator Overman this morning defended
the states rights in discussing the
tendency of the federal government to
override prerogatives of the people
and said the federal regulation of child
labor, the admission of negroes or
orientals to white schools and other
proposed legislation is entirely outside
of the work of the national govern
ment.
The senator said local conditions
must be met and settled by the people
of the localities affected, and that the
interference of the federal government
in trying to usurp the power of that
was unwarranted. He declared the
people would not stand for it and that
progress toward Capitalization must
be stopped.

The reporter consulted authorities
on this form of poisoning under the
guidance of one of the leading ply
sicians of the city ani the symptoms
of Mr.. Fellows seemed to closely re-
semble those of that rare form of
ptomaine poisoning known as suso-
toxin which results from eating ami
mails afflicted with hog cholera.
The suddeness of Mr.. Bellows ILL
ness and his rapid recovery from it
precluded the idea of trichina pois-
oning which generally runs from three

Mr.. Bellows has made no mention
of the matter to the authorities as
yet nor to anyone beyond talking to
few friends and speaking to the
butcher so that no official action has
been as yet taken in the matter.

LONG LINE WAITS TO BUY
Fuel Famine Serious--Cumber.
land Mine Flooded and
Orders are Ignored

With zero weather threatening there
is not a pound of coal to be bought
in Walla Walla.
One prominent dealer said this
morning that he had to go out and
buy enough coal yesterday to keep
the office warm. Every dealer in the
city has coal ordered and is expecting
it to arrive. but as one said:
Promises. promises, that is all we
are getting. and we are firing OF
promises"
large dealers and two of them stated
this morning they mad plenty of it.
The price per cord of the precious
fuel is SO cut into 16-inch lengths.
This makes the situation somewhat
better than it was at the time of the
other fuel famine when neither wood
or coal could be obtained.
Buying by the Sack.

waiting in line at one of the big deal
ers r.s,S morning to bee The rrivileg"
OF buying a single sack for "A dollar.
They didn't say pleasant things whph
they came out with disappointed look
into the 20 degree temperature of the
street and thought with shiver of
the few small chunks of crude carbon
in the corner of the bin at home.
The worst of the situation is the
fact that the mercury is colder than
it nas been this year. While there is
wood and as a general thing people
are better supplied with some fuel
than they were at the time of the
December shortage yet the fact that
it is now necessary to keep a little
fire all night to avoid a call from the
plumber in the morning will soon wipe
out the small supply which many peo-
pie have on hand.
No Relief In Sight.
Another bad thing is tnat there Is
no immediate relief in sight. One
dealer thought that he might have
some coal in few days but another
said that he had received word from
the Cumberland mines, his source of
supply. that there had been big fire
which would prevent them from put
ting out any more of the precious
black diamonds for month at least.
