the authenticity and frankly stated he

the statement signed by Chute and
published yesterday was framed. after
several foxy attempts by Chute at
evasions had been headed Off Chute
again announced he retracted the
statements against Tausick and then
assumed a patrOnizing tone toward the
councilman. The statement was run
because of the promise made to print

WITH DEADLY EARNESTNESS PLANS ARE
MADE To REPEL STRIKE SYMPATH|zERS
Armed Guards, Police with Riot Guns and Companies of Militia
In Readiness to Shoot Down [aw|ess Ones of San Fran
CiSCo-Stdrt Cars This Afternoon

Turk street barns determined as ever
to prevent the running of cars.
An augmented force of police was
on hand, including mounted men, an
automobile squad and officers on foot
armed with riot guns.
Union pickets pushed their way
through the crowds exhorting the peo-
pie not to indulge in violence.
Inside the car barns and yards there
was a great stir and hustle of men
preparing to move the cars soon as
they finished breakfast
Arms and ammunition We're passed
around to the crews selected to take
the cars out and those who were to
remain prepared themselves as for a
siege.
The expected sending of the militia
to the city. as indicated by the orders
given the Seventh regiment to place
itself under arms at once did not dis

There is clash between the health
department and the street department
as was evidenced yesterday evening
whan the report of Street Commits
sioner Champion was read before the
council.
By following out the instructions OF
the city health officer, the street de-
partment Is left with no place for
dumping ground. Numerous COM
plants have been filed with the health
authorities regarding the foul oiors
emanating from the present dumping
grounds and the unsanitary conditions
resulting therefrom. The matter was
referred to the health committee with
instructions to find a suitable place Tor
depositing the refuse.
Mr. Champions report follows:
To the Mayor and Council:
Gentlemen: l have the honor TO re-
port to your honorable body that /
have been notified by the city health
officer to discontinue the dumping OF

Morton White, Esq, veteran of a
thousand or more booze battles and
charter member of the ancient order

him belongs the unique honor of being
the only man who has ever success

prevention of habitual sassy suds'' abb
sorbers obtaining the juice that ine-
briates-and cheers sometimes as well.
Some there are who, even under the
probates ban, can get saturated any
way because they have either friends,
or money, but there are none besides.
Mort, without either of these essen
tials, can succeed in keeping in a per-
ennial and perpetual state of jag.
All honor then to Mort. No saloon
sells or gives him intoxicants. Neither
do the drug stores pay heed to his
cries of thirst Nor has he a solitary

This is Chute said the agent over

was very kind of you. How much Is

The reply was that if he thought
justice had been done him and the
fairness of The Statesman established
in his mind, that was sufficient recon-
pense and there would be no charge.
Nov, Mr.. Holland came the as
tonishing proposition. Il can use

pinnacle of virtue look down in scorn

WALLA WALLA BAND IS
GIVEN DESERVED SUPPORT

Directors of the Commercial club in
session yesterday afternoon endorsed
the Walla Walla band as the musical
organization which should be allowed
to furnish the music for concerts dur

A proposition was submitted by
the Fourteenth Cavalry band to fur

The soldiers would have been given
the privilege had the local organiZa-
ton not taken the matter up.
Support will probably be given by
the business men and the popular con-
certS of last summer again resumed.

GOOD TEST FOR NICOTINE.
Experiments That May Be Of Interest
to Smokers.

Anyone who wishes to find out
how much nicotine he might take into
his system by smoking can easily get
al idea by a very simple experiment"
says an old smoker, who is rarely
seen in public or private without a
cigar in his mouth. Puff briskly
until the cigar smoke is clear white
then draw a big mouthful, double
your handkerchief, place it i've your
lips and blow out the smoke violently
as though you were whistling. Look
at your handkerchief and you will
see a deep brown stain almost as big
as a dime on the white linen. That
is the nicotine and other oils distilled
from the tobacco during burning.
Now, of course, l don't mean to a.
that regular smoker would absorb
all this oil into his system. Most
Of 1t passes away with the smoke, as
shown by the brown deposit on the
handkerchief, but still enough re
mains to affect the nerves, as n
inexperienced smoker can testify af-
ter his first attempts to become &C.
customed to the weed. Whether the
nicotine hurts anybody who is used
to it is a question for the doctors"

about how smooth he was.
