PuIliam.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-President Pull
liam has won out ia his fight. II Is
rather a burying Of the Ratchet, AMI all
is now quiet IN the camp OF the National
Commission, and Garry Hermann and
Puiliam have shaken hands across the
chGsm which promised at one time 10
separate forever those august members
OF he commission and cause the re-
tircment OF President Pulliam froi;i big

Tie climax Of the much talked about
affair came at the meeting Of the Ma
tioT.al Commission at the Office OF Pres
idcut Pulliam yesterday afternoon. The
entire commission, composed OF Harry
Puiiam, of the National League; BAR
johnson, OF the American League: anG
chairman Hermann, were present. Sec
rotary John e. Bruce WAS also on hand.
The session lasted for several hours
ami the only matter taken up was the
blacklist which caused the trouble.
After IL was all over there were three
very expressive statements which sum
Up what took place at the meeting. See
rotary Bruce said that ali that was
needed was for those interested to get
together, that all had been looking AT
the matter from different viewpoints and
needed TO come 10 an understanding.
Ban Johnson Reticent.
Ban Johnson had nothing TO say. but
August Hermann remarked blaudly
that he was glad that Il had ali come
OFT peaceably and was delighted that Il
was all over.
Harry Puliism smiled as he said ''slTs
well that ends we'll" And thus the tenn
pest in the teapot Is ended
Soon after the members convened the
matter was discussed from all stand
points and II early appeared that there
were not nearly so many differences OF
opinion as was expected. The result
was happy issue. IN which a resolution
vas offered by Mr.. Pulliam and which
wasafterward unanimously adopted. This
resolution virtually means that the Ma

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.-According
to the latest communication Manager
Mack has received froIa Eddie Plank, IL
looks very much as though the Attn
letios will be without the services OF
their great soutiiPaw pitcher this sea-
son. Plank says that after he gets
through coaching Gettysburg College ne
will remain in Gettysburg.
Manager Mack says there has been
no hitch on the salary question. but
Plank has simply decided to quit base
ball altogether. The loss Of Plank and
Waddell in one season win be a severe
blow to the Athletic pitching staff.
Manager Mack thinks Plank is really
sincere about quitting. and has at least
given NJ all hope OF having EGdie with
the team on the Southern trip.

Rear When Tinman Gets Sick
Bill Calling for Reorganization OF
Navy Can Not Be Passed at This
Session Of COngTess.

Washington, April 21.-The bottom
seems to have fallen out of the inves-
tigation into the naval scandal start
ed some time ago by the senate COM
mittee on naval affairs.
For a short time there was an en-
ergetic examination of witnesses who
were called to testify about the
charges of inferior construction
made by Henry Reuterdahl in a mag
azine article. or late nothing has
been heard OF the Reuterdahl charg-
es or the probing into the Rixey-
Brownson feud or into the question
of the efficiency of the present sys-
tenn upon which the navy is managed.
1t now looks as If the proposed
sweeping inquiry which was proposed
earlier in the season will go by the
boards. Senator Tillman, who was
largely responsible for the investiga-
tion, is sick at his home in South
Carolina and no one else is apparent
ly taking sufficient interest in the
matter to push IL.
In the house there is a bill dc.
manding a thorough reorganization
of the navy. The bill is fathered by
Representative Dawson who has
shown disposition to hammer away
at it. In the short time that remains

Z. H. Clarke, veteran wool buyer
and well known Elk, died at the hos
pital at $3.50 last evening from the
effects of pneumonia. He had been
i'll less than week and was taken
to the hospital Saturday. At that
time his condition was serious ana 1t
was feared he could not live. Early
In the evening yesterday he began to
sink and the end came suddenly but
peacefully.
A sad feature in connection with
The death is the fact that Miss Estelle
Clarke, daughter of the deceased. was
to be married at Stockton, Cal, to-
morrow. Last evening the sad news
of ner fathers death was wired to
the young lady and her brother, both
Of whom live in California.
F.. II. Clarke was born at Newton,
Mass, August Is, 1874. He passed
his early life in Massachusetts, and
was a soldier in the union army DUR
ing the civil war, being in the 44th
Massachusetts, infantry. ..r..
In 1870 he came west and became
associated in the wool business with
Christy & Wise Of San Francisco.
Twenty-Five years ago he came to this
place as representative for that COM
pany. He remained with them until
the firm dissolved and he then serv-
ed as an independent buyer. During
the past five years he worked with
Charles H. Greene as buyer for s.
Koshland & Co.
In 1873 the deceased was marrlea
to a young lady of Stockton, Cal.
Thirteen years later his wife died
while spending the winter In Cali
fornia. Two children, Estelle.
daughter, and a son, Fred, were born
to the couple.
When the Pendleton lodge OF Elks
was formed on February 21. 1925. the
deceased Joined that order as a char
ter member and his signature was one
of the first placed upon the roll OF
the Pendleton lodge. He was also a
member of the Woodmen and Work
men lodges.
Among woolmen and others who
knew him the deceased was always
liked because OF his genial disposl-
ton and pleasant. cultured manner.
Accordingly, there is much genuine
regret over his death.
At the request of the deceased his
funeral will be conducted by the Elks
and last evening r. W. Henneman ex-
alted ruler. appointed r. Alexander,
DR.. F. W. Vincent and Charles H.
Greene as a committe to have charge
of the funeral.
1t is now planned to have the serv-
ice from the Church of the Redeemer
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The
service will be according to the ritual
Of the order Of Elks and the funeral
will be widely attended.

WALLA WALLA HAS
SCHOOL TEACHER WAR.
BOARD Lets Out Three Principals and
Arouses Ire Of Many Patrons-Men
said TO BE Instructors of Ability.

Probably nothing that has happen
ed in recent years has caused as much
comment as the action of the school
board in falling to re-elect the teach
ers who have been giving satisfac-
tion to the patrons of the schools,
says the Walla Walla Statesman. The
people are freely expressing their
opinion that it was mistake not to
re-elect the teachers and the petit
tions are being well signed asking the
members to reconsider. Friends Of
Professors Shepherd. Buckles and
Ryan have been busy for several
days.
Most of the people blame Professor
o. $. Jones for the action of the board
as he did not recommend that the
teachers be retained. Nothing. how
ever could be brought against their
ability. The teachers are popular
with the pupils and have been doing
good work.
The people who have signed the pc
titions-all of them being taxpayers
feel that they should have some say
in who shall teach the children. and
they think that the board will agree
with them.
