SOCIALISTS WON'T
PAY FILING FEES

Formal presentation of the socialist
ticket for filing was made in the coun-
ty auditors office this afternoon, but
upon the advice of Prosecuting AttOr-
ney Rupp the auditor declined to file
the names because the socialists re-
fused to produce the filing fee. The
case before the supreme court on the
western side of the state is being
watched by the socialists who believe
the decision in that case will settle
for the whole state the question of
fees for filing nominations on their
ticket.
Prosecuting Attorney Rupp was de-
termined in his opinion that the names
should not be accepted until the fees,
amounting in all to $137, had been de-
posted, but he informed the auditors
office that he would make a further in
vestigation and would render an opin-
ion on the question within a short time.
The socialists who presented the
ticket for filing recognized the fact
that it would be refused, even
before it was presented, but they were
Of the opinion that the names should
be given to the auditor, just as mat
ter of form to prevent any illegality.

Wants Rubby'S Support
But Won't Live with Him

was willing to care for his family, but
that as long as his wife persisted in
living with her father, he would do
nothing for her.
When it was put up to Maurer to
furnish money for the support
of his wife and family regardless of
where they lived, he reluctantly con-
Sented to do. that, rather than go to
Jail. Then the judge and the prose-
cutting attorney heaved a sigh of relief
and felt that their duty had been well
done But here the woman announced
that she positively would not live with
her husband. Vain hope! 1t was all
to do over again.
Then the officers started on another
tack, telling the young people to go
home with Mrs. Maurer's father talk
it over with the use of some common
sense, and report this afternoon. This
they consented to do, but up to press
time no report has been made.
The case was a difficult one to
handle in the justice court, as the jur-
isdiction of that court is limited. Judge
Brents. ofNthe superior court is out of
the city, and the children, who are In
want would probably have suffered
had the case been referred to that
court. Rather than send Maurer to
iail to await hearing in the superior
court. Judge Huffman deemed it ad-
visable to settle the difficulty outside
if possible.

roosevelt demanding that the presi-
dent prove his charges that Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma was connected
with the Standard Oil company. or that
the Standard Oil company was back of
Bryan in the present campaign.
The telegram was the result of the
statement made by Roosevelt referring
10 allegations by Hearst against Has
keH IN which the president made prac-
ucaily similar charges of his own.
The telegram says: In state
ment given out by YOU you endorse the
charge against Governor Haskell that
ne was once employed by the Etandard

an attempt to Dribe ATTORNEY General
Monett, of Ohio. to dismiss suit

Labor Men TO

The Garden City Monitor" is the
name of a new publication to be estab-
lished through the Trades and Labor
council Of the city next month, the
publication to be issued by Jesse Fer
ney. providing the laDoring men of the
city pledge enough subscriptions to
make the venture a success. A COM
mitteel which was recently appointed,
together with delegates to the Trades
and Labor council are working on the
pledges for subscriptions, and as soon
as 500 cash subscribers have been re-
ceived, the first edition will be
launched It is probable that the first
number will be issued about October 10,
after which it will appear every week
1t is the intention of Mr. Ferney to
page, seven column publication. cover
ing all the news of the labor world. It
will be the official organ of the Trades
and Labor council, and it is believed
a subscription list of fully 1000 can be
secured. For number of years the
labor bodies of the city have felt the
need of a paper in Walla Walla, and
now that Mr.. Ferney has consented to
establish one in return for a sufficient
number of cash subscribers members
of the various labor bodies have taken
up the work of securing the subscrip-
tions.
The Monitor will be a nom partisan
sheet and will keep clear of any af1il-
iation, except in cases where the cleo
ton or defeat of certain candidates is
desired by the labor interests.

Will Remodel
Labor Temple

Plans for remOdeling the Labor tenn
pie, South Third street, at an esti-
mated cost of from $4,000 to $4,000
are being considered by the Labor
Temple association, the Trades and
Labor council and the various labor
organizations of the city. Plans have
been drawn up for the proposed i'm
provements, and it is probable that
within a short time the work will be
started whereby the laboring men Of
Walla Walla will be given one of the
cosiest and most home-like meeting
places in the northwest
According to the plans and specifica
tlOns. the basement is to be eXcayated
and a ten-fOot concrete wall con-
structed under the building, giving the
entire ground floor for use of the diff
ferent bodies. A lounging room, 17x2S
feet and two lodge rooms, one 19x36
and one 17x32 feet, besides the banquet
hall. 19x34 feet, kitchen. ladies' room
toilets and the heating room are to be
in the basement
On the upper floor will be the audi
torium and ball room, 34x6S feet and
one union meeting room 1Sx22 feet
The floor, which is now on an incline.
is to be leveled, and other alterations
made. A gentlemen's and ladies' cloak
room, a balcony for the orchestra. and
platform 7x14 feet, for use of speak
ers will also be on this floor.
The contemplated improvements are
estimated at between $4,000 and $4,000
about third of the amount having
been already raised by subscriptions of
the various organizations. The build
ing and lot is valued at $4,000, with a
mortgage of $1,000 upon it, However,
the mortgage can easily be paid by the
rental. and there is nothing in the way
of having immediate work started on
the alterations. Committees are now
working on the details, with a view to
having the work done before the fail
rains set in, and within a few months
the prosperity of the Walla Walla La
Dor Temple association is to be attest
ed by one of the finest meeting places
to be found anywhere
