basketball game between the college
contest between the business men of
Alder street and the Main street busi-
ness men.
Walla 'Walla at the present time has
two crack basketball teams, each Of
which has been beaten but once In
regular games. In practice each has
beaten the other. This shows how even
lily the high school and Whitman COL
llege teams are matched and a game
between them will be fraught with in
terest and excitement. Many have been
wanting to see them come together
but before this time arrangements had
not been made There is nothing but
friendly rivalry between the teams and
the contest will be full of fast playing,
and clever work. and will be entirely
devoid of bitterness. For Whitman.
Rigsby, Barnes, Belt butcher and
Felthouse will play. For high school,
'BOllerman. w. Steele, T. Steele, Doug
lass and Blackman will toss goals.
Dunphy, Metz, ct Al.
Interesting as this will be it will not
be the feature of the evening. A game
of pushball between the Main and AL
der street business men will be pulled
off. There has been a great deal Of RI
valry as to the merits of these two
streets and this will be once ard for all
settled by the contest Tuesday night.

Theodore Arlington Bell, temporary
chairman of the Democratic national
convention. was born at Vallejo, Cal.
lust. across the straits from the Mare
Island Navy yard, July 20. 1879: was
educated in the public schools OF Ma
pa. and admitted to the bar In 1898. In
1894 he was elected district attorney
Of Napa county and was reelected,
serving eight years In that office.
Mr. Bell was elected to congress In
1904, when the Democrats elected a
number OF members from California
by reason of the uphcaval caused by
the labor movement. II was at this
election that Livernash and Wynn
were elected as union labor congress-
men from San Francisco. They &C.
cused Bell of being a friend OF plutoc-
racy. especially that section OF plutoc-
racy embraced in T. II. Harriman's
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
Because Bell advocated mail sub
sidy that probably would have been
paid TO the Pacific Mail steamers. Liv-
ernash rose one day and accused him
Of misreprescnting the people OF his
section OF the state, the implication
being that Bell was more particularly
the representative Of the Hartman in
terests than of the people Of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Boil was candidate for
reelection 10 congress and was de-
feated by Duncan Mckinley.
In 1906 Mr.. Bell was the Democratic
candidate for governor OF California,
James n. Gillett Of the Republicans,
Lewis OF the Socialists and W. II.

league, The vote: Bell, 1880; Gil.
lett. 125,Ss9; Lewis. 1G,O30; Langdon,
i5.00s, giving Gillett, Republican, S,299
plurality. But for Langdon's can
didacy, Bell would have been elected.

SLEUTHS TAKE N
UP A new TRAIL
IN PURSUIT OF SUPPOSED eLAY,
ER OF DIR. WILLIAM
WILSON.
GIES PROVES HIS INNOCENCE,
Chemists Who Examined the Ale
Sent to the Murdered Doctor
Said II Held Enough Poi.
son to Kill 20 Men.

Philadelphia, July s. - With the
elimination of Frederick Giles from
the case. the police OF this city on
Tuesday began tracing the move
ments OF the supposed murderer OF
DR.. William Wilson through Bristol,
Trenton. Jersey, City and New York
City toward Boston. Frederick Giles
practically proved to the satisfaction
of the authorities that he had moth
ing to do with the sending Of the bot
tie of poisoned ale TO DIR. Wilson on
juno ,e. lie was arraigned before
magistrate and held in $500 bail
pending an investigation into the
death OF his wife on June ~. though
no charge was preferred against the
prisoner. Detectives simply stated
that in investigating the Wilson mur.
der they came across suspicious cir
cumstances in connection with the
death Of the prisoners wife and de-
sired to have him held pending in
vestigation.
Though no uuantitive analysis has
been completed, II was officially said
at the coroner's Office that DR.. Rob
insou. the city chemist. and Prof.
Meeker in an examination Of the ale
sent TO Dr. Wilson found in that
portion turaed over TO them suffi-
cient cyanide of potassium TO kill 90
men. The chemists also reported
that a partial examination of the Wis.
cora taken from DR.. Wilson's body
shows that Il was literally saturated
with cyanide. Detectives lOng and
Paul succeeded in tracing the man
supposed TO be the murderer from
here to Jersey City. The first clue
In this direction came from the letter
supposed to have been written by the
murderer and sent to the coroner
from Bristol, Pa.
The man who Is supposed to have
mailed that letter got on Pennsyl.
vania train at Torresdale. a suburb.
on Saturday, June 81. nj 1885 D.. m.
when the train reached Bristol at
i2:a3 ne alichted and mailed let
ter and then got back on the train.
From the crew of the train the police
StNUItu u VI NHio duU
traced him to Trenton. They found
that he got off tho train there few
minutes after | o'clock and waited for
the connecting train to New York,
which he took.
The man got off the train at Jersey
City and supposedly went TO New
York though the days work of the
detectives ended at Jersey City The
description Of the man who tray eled
on this traia to Jersey City corre-
spends with that of the man who pur-
chased the type letter "S' from the
keystone type foundry and which
was used TO stamp seal on the neck
of the bottle Of poisoned ale. The
description also corresponds with
that furnished by Fred Buchanan,
who received the package of ale at
local express office the day 1t was
shipped to DR.. Wilson.
The success OF the police In trac-
ing this man convinces them that
they arc ten days behind in taking
mp the right trail In the matter and
to-day they will continue In their ef.
forts to trace the supposed murderer
TO Boston, whence second letter
was received by the coroner from the
supposed murderer.
