TRANSFER COMPANY
ATTACKS ORDINANCE

The argument on demurrer to the
complaint against C. F. Stillwell,
of the Pacific Transfer Co., will be
heard this afternoon by Justice
Hinkle. The grounds of the de-
murrer are the nconstitutionality
of the ordinance and that it is con-
fiicting. Several years ago the rail.
roads and the transfer company Sc
cured the passage of the ordinance
so as to keep outside express and
baggagemen from putting up too
sharp competition against the
transfer company, which paid for
and was allowed the privilege of
soliciting on railroad property. Re-
Gently when the ordinance was en-
forced against the transfer agents
as it has been against the other
men, the transfer people make con-
siderable fuss which eliminated in
the chief of police ordering his
men to leave all baggage men
alone.
The result has been that these
men now solicit where they please
and the only way in which the
transfer company can successfully
interfere with them is by having
the railroads prosecute them for
trespass.

Of GRAFT .
TACOMA CANDIDATE AND AT
TORNEY ATTACK MAYOR IN
PUBLIC AND LIE is PASSED
BACK AND FORTH.

TACOMA, March 3.-Charges OF
graft were hurled at Mayor Wright
last night when Charles Drury,
candidate for the democratic NOM
ination for mayor in opposition to
Wright, faced 1,500 excited parti-
sans and asserted that Wright had
accepted $4,000 bribe from the
Barber Asphalt Co. two years ago
to further the placing of paving
contracts.
Wright was in the hall when
Drury made the charge and took
the platform when his accuser fin
ished. He declared Drury to be a
liar" asserted that he had never
taken one cent graft and that
Drury's charges could not be
proven.
Drury dared the mayor to sue
him for libel Elk City Attorney An
derson also stated that he believed
Wright to be CRATER.
The mayor answered his attack
as he had Drury's. clubbing the at

Members who do not attend will
find a fine of so cents assessed

fought it's battles alone since its

has gained steadily. 1t has estab-

has secured permission to do the
saloon work on Sunday in spite of
the fact that the latter are closed.
The assurance of the union that the

TAFT WARRIORS
SELECTED

A big delegation of Spokane
boosters for Taft will attend the
state meeting of Taft clubs at Ia
coma Thursday even ing as the re-
suit of last nights meeting of the
local Taft club. Judge Nash, presi-
dent of the club, was empowered
to appoint an official representa-
ton and named delegation of %,
consisting of the following:
Mayor Moore, w. M. Dean, Chas.
r. Conner. DR.. w. F. Morrisonfi G..
c. Corbaley, R. A. Hutchinson, w.
H. Cowles, N. w. Durham, d. T.
Ham, Frank c. NASH, c. B. Dun
ming, j. F. Congleton, F. T. Post,
A. G. Avery, H. w. Collins, George
H. Collin, r. M. Barnhart, w. d.
Scott, G. A. Fellows, E. K. Erwin,
l.. p Hornberger, Judge Nash.
The attendance at the club con-
vention is not limited to hese, as
all Taft club members that can go
will be welcomed. A reduction of
railroad fare depends upon the
number attending, the company
granting special rate if 100 at
tend from all parts of the state.
Those purchasing tickets for the
trip should get a receipt from the
agent here or wherever they are
purchased and have this receipt
endorsed by the president of the
state meeting. The holder will
then be entitled a one-third fare
for the return. 1t is expected that
a large enough delegation to secure
special sleeper will be secured
from this city. The Spokane party
will leave over the n. P. tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The matter of securing the re-
publican state convention for Spo-
kane will aso occupy the attention
of the delegates while they are on
the coast.
Judge Nash made one of his char
acteristic Taft speeches last night,
and other speakers endorsed his
belief that Taft had already swept
the state. This sentiment will be
-amalgamated into a state organiZa-
ton at the coming meeting. The
following committee was named to,
bring back the republican conven-
ton if possible. d. T. Ham, G. G.
Corbaley, c. P. Lund, R. A.
Hutchinson, c, r. Conner.
Nothing was said of the sena-
torial fight in this state, but there
are several strong Jones men on
the delegation and also more no.
ticeably on the convention commit
tee.
Judge Nash expressed desire to
eat last night and suggested that
the banquet committee named some
time ago get busy with the 81 love
feast proposition. The committee
was instructed accordingly.

'4S battled on the desert plains and
rocky heights of old Mexico.
Riley gave the drum to his son,
and he in turn to his son, Brownies
uncle, who carried it through the
Civil war. That conflict ended, the
drum was silent for a while. Then
"a years ago, it was given to
Browne, boy at the time, and he
carried it in the Spanish war, in
which he served as bugler and
drummer in Cuba under Col. Bob
Huntington of the u. S. marine
corps. Inside the shell of the drum
are branded the names of its sue
|cessive possessors, with the dates
of many battles in which it was
carried.
Browne has been in the U. S.
navy 16 years, starting in as APP
prentice boy. He worked his way
up to petty officer, third class. then
became a bugler. He served as
bugler for two enlistments of
three years each, and is now in his
second enlistment as drummer
He not only plays TINS drum, IN the
band of the U. S. S. Georgia, but
also snare drum, the bass drum, a
pair of cymbals, a tambourine and
various other instruments. He was
born and reared in Cleveland
where his mother, Mrs. James r.
Dunlap, still lives. Browne now
lives in Philadelphia.
OF course the drum as a whole
is not the same as it was in the
Mexican war. The heads have been
changed several times, and the
date of each change is among the
data carved in it's shell.
Browne was the doctor" in the
ceremonies when the Georgia
crossed the line. 1t was his stout
arm that welded the mallet which
descended upon the head of Nep
tunes new subjects as they ap
peared for initiation into the
mysteries of the deep.
