WHITMAN LOSES
STAR ATHLETE

Walla Wall. Oct 27.--George
Philbrook, probably the best all
around athlete in the Northwest, has
rendered his r. ,ierltion as captain
of the Whitman track team. has Sc
cured withdrawal from the local
college and will leave tomorrow at
ternoon for Chicago, whence he goes
t. Notre Dame. Indiana, to enter
the university OF Notre Dame.
1t is with great regret that the
faculty and students OF the local col
lege see PhilbroOk leave. He is one
of the most popular fellows in the
school and his athletic ability has
made him prominent figure in stu
dent affairs at the co lege for the
last two years. He has been good
student and has gone to school for
that purpose. despite the fact that
he has been prominent in athletics.
And 1t is fof the purpose OF study
Ing medicine, course which ne can
rot get here. that he leaves for the
Eoosier school.

This was finally secured. and part of

the road and were compelled to walk
over the hills, reaching Asotin about

The girls had quite an experience
and one that thew will never forget,
and they are still looking for the
hoodoo, but at this time they have
not found it.

BURNS PAPER
BY MISTAKE
GREAT ACTRESS REALIZES THAT
SHE - BURNING WRONG Pa
fEk, BUT SUCCESS OF PLAY
DEMANDED ITS DESTRUCTION.

New York. Oct. 27.-Blanche
Bates set fire to valuable paper al
last nights performance at the Stuy.
vesant of THE Fighting Hope" by
accident. which, although unnotice.
able by the audience. caused the star
considerable mental anguish at the
time and much worry.
The scene Of the play is a library
which remains intact throughout the
three acts of the. drama. The fur
nishing is complete in detail, and
after the matinee Miss Bates utilix-
ed the typewriter. writing paper and
envelopes to take care of her CORE
spondence. In this way she mixed
her personal letters with those she
used in THE Fighting Hope"
Miss Bates had just received a le-
gal paper concerning a settlement of
property in San Francisco, the home
OF her mother. Inadvertently she
left this paper on the desk in the IL
brary scene. and 1t was mistaken for
the letter which incrlminates her
ConVlct nuSOano IN the play 1t was
this letter which Miss Bates steals
from the safe and burns.
As the flames began to devour thu
paper the Belasco artist saw her mis-
take. 1t was too late. The plot of
the play demands that the letter be
entirely destroyed. 30 1t had to be
burned to ashes. Miss Bates acting
at this particular moment was real
istic. Her feelings were not simu-
lated, nor was this particular scene
ever played by Miss Bates with
greater effect.
1t was not until the end Of the act
that she could explain that the pa
per was an original copy of the le-
sal document. and she may be caused
great deal Of trouble through its
loss.
