CARD GAME LEADS TO FIGHT
HACK DRIVER is SLASHED BY
BARTENDER FROM DENVER
AND OTHER POINTS.

A dispute over cardS-an invitation
into the alley-the flash of a knife-all
of which summed up equals j. P. COlley
in Jail on the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon ard William Mennicke
taking a days vacation because of a
knife wound in the abdomen.
The wound. however, is not serious
and Mennicke, who is a hack driver,
is expected on duty again tomorrow.
His alteration with COlley, who says
he is a bartender recently from Den
yer. ST. Louis and other points, occur
red in the early hours of this morning
at the rear of one of the hotels.
It seems that Mennicke and Colley
were playing a friendly game OF CARDS
in the hotel which resulted in a dispute
over the game.
Colley says Mennicke invited him to
go into the alley which invitation he
accepted. On his way out, Mennicke
who lead the way, picked up billiard
ball. Colley saw this and when he
came to the alley at the rear Of the
hotel. his nerve failed him and he re-
fused to go further.
He SAYS he started to walk back into
the hotel when Mennecke struck him.
He then drew the knife and struck at
Nennicke. catching him in the groin
Others then interfered. He says his
knife was taken away, he was knocked
down and kicked in the face.
The latter part of the tale his face
hears out, for it is badly bruised.
Trial Tomorrow.
There are several versions OF the ar
fair. one being that the fracus occurred
in the alley, that Colley offered to lay
down his knife if Mennicke would drop
the billiard ball.
The trial of Colley will come up to-
morrow in the justice court at O'Clock
when will be exhibited the bloody shirt
Mennicke wore at the time the affair
of honor was pulled off.
There are some first class blood
stains on the shirt and, all in all, 1t
looks rather bad for Colley.

FEW TELEGRAPH WIRES ARE
WORKING IN UNITED STATES
Regular Operators Are Out on Western
Union--.Strike.Breakers and Man.
ayers at Work

Twenty-eight thousand men, men,
Telegraphers' union, are on a strike
the biggest strike. perhaps, in the his
tory of the United States. and one
which directly affects more people
than any previous conflict of labor
with its employer.
Last night at o'clock the men in
the Portland and Spokane repeating
offices went out and left this city prac-
tically cut off from the world. Opera
tors in the employ of the Western
Union in this city struck at the same
time. and today the little service
coming in is handled by the manager
alone.
The strike is general. Operators in
the United States are all out Not
alone in the United States, either, is
the situation serious. In Montreal,
Quebec, and all the larger Canadian
cities. the men have gone out and
others are expected.
The only telegraphers working this
AFTERNOON are a few nom union men,
the managers of some of the offices,
and the railroad operators. These lat
ter will strike if asked to handle COM
mercial business. They have been so
ordered by the officials of the railroad
telegraphers' union to go out if asked
to handle any Western Union business
and In all cases they have notified
their employers to this effect.

PROF. STARR GOES CRAZY.
Has More Faith in Japs Than In the
White Man.

Professor Frederick Starr, anthro-
pologist of the University of Chicago.
believes japan could whip the United
States in war He says it is a great
mistake to send the great American
fleet into the Pacific, as the ships are
likely to show how inefficient the ma
Wy is.
His views were presented in an ad-
dress on Japan in All Souls church.
Among the pointed statements he made
were these:
Japan, from our standard, has no
superior in the world as a power today.
Il am not afraid of a yellow peril.
Think of what the white peril has
been. Where are the red men and the
black men?
1--WE are inclined to think the Rus
sian army was rotten. But Russia was
the only power which stood a chance
with Japan.
do you think our army of 10000 de-
serters a year, whose men complain OF
Goldfish for breakfast, detest the
marches from day to day. who clamor
about the small pay they receive could
stand up against the Japanese*
Il do not know if we will have a
war with Japan.
Il hope not: if we do it will be our
own fault. Japan will not start it,

Another thing. The warehouse is
Then the cost of insurance and re-
pairs, etc. is the same with the house
half full as when it is loaded to its
full capacity This makes the cost
of handling higher of course.
Then the farmers talk about their
warehouse here paying at 40 cents.
That is all right. But they can come
up town and get men whenever they
want them and pay by the hour while
at our warehouses the men have to be
kept in readiness to take care of grain
at any time and be paid by the day.
Another thing the farmers warehouse
here is doing to pay expenses is un-
loading all kinds of freight, cement
gasoline engines and other such arti-
cles that help keep the house busy the
year round. In a warehouse situated
in the country, or at a small siding,
there is nothing of this kind to help
out.
I'VE have to keep men the year
around to receive and load grain Of
course we do not have to keep as many
all the year as we do during the fall
rush. But the man is there and more
than one, usually three or four all the
time
Why. we offered many of our men
the profits on the house instead of a
salary if they so desired. and not one
of them took us up. They know there
is nothing certain in it and they would

AS the result of the arrest of several
men in Patterson, N. j., for alleged
"black hand" operations, the police

u.s. wv ~

County and city school .ea hers
will receive an advance in saiar ;
this year according to County School
Superintendent Bond, and City School
superintendent Jones.
In the city schools an advance Of
$500 will be made in the maximum
salary which was previously $500
among the grade teachers. This ad-
vance will affect Is per cent of the
city school teachers. 1t is the rule to
raise salaries of the teachers $500
per year until the maximum is
reached, and therefore only those who
have reached the maximum salary
will be benefited by this raise.
The salary of Prof. E. ]. Klemme.
principal of the High School has been
advanced from $1,000 per year to ST.
500, the salaries Of the grade school
principals have been advanced from
$11OO to $1,000. This advance in SAL
aries will increase the city schools
salary roll by about $4,000.
According to City School Superin-
tendent Jones, the salaries of local
teachers are far inferior to those paid
teachers of equal rank in Seattle.
AS an instance of this, he pointed out
that while Walla Walla pays Prof.
]. c. Ryan 1920, by the advance, for
taking charge of a 12-room school. Sc
attle teachers get $3.50 for
taking charge of schools of equal num-
Der of rooms.
The maximum salaries of the High
School teachers has been advanced
from $105 per month to S110. This ad-
vance will affect two teachers. They

penitentiary, were delivered to east

During the month 176950 bags were

about 100 bales of jute on hand and
the board called for bids for 1000 bales,
so that a supply will be on hand to keep
the mill practically in constant oper-

Comparatively little cable news is

they can be obtained.

has heretofore been sent over the O..

Chicago nearly four hours ahead Of
mail sent directly east over the O.

GOOD ROADS MEN
START CAMPAIGN
WANT REPUBLICANS TO PUT NEW
PLANK IN PLATFORM AT MA
TIONAL CONVENTION.

Samuel Hill, father of the good roads
movement il. this state, has COM
menced a campaign to instruct the
Washington delegation to the next re-
publican national convention to insist
upon the insertion of a plank in the
platform committing the party to the
policy of government aid for good
roads.
Expert government advice to road
builders is urged by Hill, who is very
much opposed to the proposals that
the federal government build a nation
al turnpike or appropriate money for
He insists the project for a national
turnpike from New York to San
Francisco, is impracticable, aside from
the fact that it would traverse too
much country of a non productive
character.
1T is a fact that there are very
few men in this country who know
how to build good roads, insists Hill
in support of his movement. "The
government itself does not understand
the good roads movement and is in no
position now to take up the propogan-
da.
