several months standing at this in
stitution, all of which welcomed him
warmly He is indispOsed today,

was taking treatment during his recent
weeks absence.
Vests friends will have the pleasure
of his company for the next 60 days.
His return was almost sensationa.y
Sunday night he met his old friend
and present host Janitor Claude Ber-

TO a slight friction previously existing
between the two men, Charlie was
10th to recognize his former host, IN
fact attempted to cut him dead. Ber-
ry, however, insisted upon contin-
uance of the acquaintance and former

PRISONERS WANT GAMES
BASE BALL AT PENlTENT!ARY is
CAUSE OF BETTER
DISCIPLINE.

The cOnvicts are looking for new
worlds to conquer, speaking from a
baseball standpoint Any team about
the country which desires a good stiff
game will do well to open up nego-
tiatiOns with the men on the Hill
They deliver the goods and their
delivery is such that it may well keep
good players guessing
1t is said that for the past two
weeks it has not been necessary to
punish any of the inmates of the pen
itentiary for infringement of the rules
of the institution. This it is thought
is largely due to the interest the men
take in the national game, as they
would do nothing which would cause
them to miss seeing it.

WILL NOT COME
TO WALLA WALLA
ESTHER MITCHELL WHO SHOT
AND KILLED HER BROTHER
WILL STAY IN ASYLUM.

Esther Mitchell, who shot and killed
her brother, George Mitchell, at the
King street passenger station in July,
1906, within a week after the man had
been discharged by jury in the super
ior court for killing Franz Edmon
Creffield, the high priest of the Holy
Rollers, will in all probability, not go
to the penitentiary ward for the cri-
minally insane says the Times.
Following the killing of her brother
the Mitchell woman was adjudged in
sane and sent to the state asylum at
Steilacoom where she is now.
There is no controversy between the
the woman that she committed a cri-
minal act, but it was long before the
statute was enacted that provided for
the keeping of the criminally insane at
the penitentiary at Walla Walla
The new law does not in plain words
explain itself as to "criminally insane"
but Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth
Mackntpsh and other lawyers who
have gone carefully into the statute de-
clare that it is only the convicted in
sane that can be removed to the pen
itentiary ward.
4 do not think under the statutes
that l can put Esther Mitchell in the
penitentiary,' said the prosecuting at
torney yesterday. Under the present
plans of the office she will remain at
Steilacoom. We construe the law as
applying only to those who have been
acquitted of felonies by reason of in
sanity, as in the Chester Thompson
case"
George Mitchells excuse for killing
Creffield was that the Holy Roller lead
er ruined Esther. Maud Creffield
widow of Creffeld, was charged by the
state with instigatng the murder of
George Mitchell. The Creffield woman
committed suicide in the county jail
last winter.

Fiends Now Learning to Use missouri
Meerschaums.

A local cop tells good one anenl
the passing of the cigarette.
Shortly before midnight SATURDAY
as ne was patroling his beat in
local resort, he was accosted by an IN
mate thereof who inquired as 10
whether the law affecting cigarettes
prohibited one from smoking them.
The patrolman assured the inquirer
that such was not the case, but ne
was surprised beyond measure upon
returning to that portion of his beat
to find a number of the fair enchant-

Another feature resulting from the
new law is that yesterday Jailer Berry
laid in a large supply Of cob pipes
for prisoners who heretofore have sat

CHINESE GIVE
BIG FESTIVAL
Ce|eStia|S Have Labor OdQ''
Celebration Of Their Own

Mystic, weird, oriental rituals OF
worship, the origin of which is shad-
owed by the passing of generations
upon generations, We're revived ana
observed in Walla Walla last night.
The participants in the unusual
ceremonies comprised the entire local
Chinese population. Whether the in
cense burned last night was intended
to tickle the olefactory sense of the
"gread gawd Bud" whether the punks
were lighted with muttered prayers to
Josh, or whether the pleasure of the
philosophic Confuscius was sought
with the brightly colored scraps of
paper, it was impossible to ascertain.
At about 1915 o'clock last night
Cinnamon assembled in numbers on
the fiat this side of the race tracks.
A rectangular inclOsure was formed
with lighted candles, small fires be-
ing lighted at each corner of the
square On one side of the square
two long Chinese knives were thrust,
point down, into the ground and from
one to the other was stretched red
and white cloth. At the same side OF
the rectangle and just inside of the
line of candles was placed food money
and Chinese rum. This was sur
rounded by burning punks. Bright
colored papers covered the ground and
insense was burned in the fires at the
The central figure of the ceremony
was a venerable celestial who squat
ted within the candle enclosed area
and for two hours recited in a chant
foreign devils who witnessed the af-
fair, to be a prayer. Anyone has a
right to form his own opinion, how
ever as to what was said, for GER
tainly none but the orientals may dis
pute him and they are exceedingly re-
ticent as to last nights devotions, if
such they were.
Good Luck For All.
The glad part of it all, from a mer-
cenary standpoint. occurred after all
the strange things had been done anj
said. Then among the large crowd OF
Cinnamon who were present and who
had silently listened to the two hours s
recitation was distributed money. A
dime to each one. Neither were the
four outsiders who had watched pro-
ceedings from beginning to end for
gotten. Each was presented with 4
dime. Jack Lambert was one of those
present Naturally he demurred at
accepting the coin but it was forced
upon him, the Chinese declaring it to
be 'alle samee good luck"
After the distribution of money
Chinese rum was passed about and
after this refreshment all adjourned
for the evening.

TELEGRAPHERS
CAN HOLD OUT
Have Funds 10 Last q Year
But Will Arbtirate

Without any apparent weakening on
either side, the telegraph operators
and the companies are still at outs
concerning any agreement whatever
about the strike.
Conditions locally have improved
but little in the last week. CONNER
cial messages receive prompt attention
but the news service is still badly
crippled. Little telegraph news is be-
ing received over the wires at the To-
cal news offices and not since the
strike has begun has any local paper
had decent service
In the east conditions are little bet
ter Things are going on just as they
have since the Strike began and lit
tie, if any, Improvement has been
made in the adjustment of the difii-
culties.
Daniel L. Russell. chief strategist OK
the striking operators, said yesterday:
1--WE are working on a plan that we
DelleVe Will bring the companies to
terms. l am confident the plan will go
through, and we will go back to work
by next Wednesday, victors.''
Will Starve Out.
The companies are just as confident
and Superintendent Brooks, of the
statement yesterday:
Empty pockets will send the. men
back to work. In the meantime we
can handle our business as usual" he
declared.
More than $4,000 business men OF
the city of New York have signed IA
petition asking the president to in
terfere and settle the strike 1t is
getting beyond the joking point to the
thousands who are indirectly depend
ant upon the wires as we'll as to the
companies
The Federation has submitted Il
plan whereby the matter can be ar
Eitrated by the president of the Unit
ed States but the companies are said
to be obstinate and to have given out
the statement that no compromise will
be tolerated and that they will not be
party to any arbitration.
Business Suffers
In the east the feeling against the
companies is running high, especially
among the middle classes and il is
SAID that even the money interests
are getting extremely wearied with the
contest 1t has been seen that the
operators will not bluff and if they
are forced to return they will have 70
be starved into it. But in the mean
time the companies are getting what
business they can handle and if more,
il is simply turned aside They are
said to have formulated a plan to
work up sentiment against the strik-
trs by these tactics. The tide of favor.
however seems to be turning in the
other direction and there is little hope
that the companies will get the men
back through popular prejudice turn
ing overwhelmingly in their favor.
relations of telegraph operators and
their employers are said to be strain
ed and strike in this department in
the next "a hours would not surprise
the telegraph operators.
Strikers who needed money were
given an allowance yesterday and the
supply fund will be doled out as it
is required. The strikers claim they
can hold out for year.
