Or. w. s. Marquis, DR.. r. 3. Williams,
Rev. Marion Humphreys, and
Others Talk on Question.

III several OIL the cnufcHeS OIL the
city yesterday, the pastors took Oc-
casion to discuss the factors and result
of the election Tuesday on the local
option proposition. Among those who
took the election as subject were
Rev. w. s. Marquis, pastor of Broad
way Presbyterian church, Rev. r. B.
Williams, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, and Rev. Marion Hum
phreys, pastor of the Central Presby-
terrain church. Mr.. Humphreys merely
outlined briefly the factors in the
election.
Victory In Defeat.
DR.. Marquis took as his subject,
Victory in Defeat" and held that
while the campaign did not result in
the humiliation of the saloon, it had
accomplished much that must be term
ed victory for the local option forces.
He cited historical battles, including
Bunker Hill and Bull Run, to show
that the defeat was a real element In
the ultimate victory of the cause. He
held the campaign to be victory over
self, in that it was, for those who had
long wanted to see some actien to-
ward the eradication of the saloon evil,
victory over inertia, over indiffer-
ence. over ignorance, and over lack of
unity and organization
He held that the defeat had been a
victory because of the sentiment it
has aroused in the children and among
the first voters. He illustrated this
point with stories of his personal ex-
periences with little children since
election.
Confession Is Victory.
1--WE gained a victory over many of
those who voted no. for while they
voted that way they really felt that
they should vote yes" said DR.. Mar
quis.
He added that there is great vic
tory in the confession of existing evils,
and in the resolutions of the Anti-Pro-
hibition league, urging a cleansing. He
held the forcing of such action to be
a great triumph for those who sought
to have the saloons forced out of bus
mess.
In conclusion he maintained that
while defeated here, the local option
forces had had share in the victory
in the state. To show that there was
victory in the state he gave the fig
ures, showing that SCI towns voted
dry" 206 voted wet" and 1886 sa
looms were forced out of business as
result of the state campaign.
Analyses the Vote.
Dr., Williams in his discussion Of
the election, gave an analysis of the
influences which brought about tho
result of the ballot. He spoke of the
vote of the foreign born citizens; de
clared that there were business meI
who promised to vote Eyes" on the
proposition, who found it convenien
not to vote at all; but instead to b,
out of the city election day; and stat
ed that there is positive knowledg
that votes were bought. Referring
to the latter statement, he said tina
the Local Option league did not bu
any votes for the excellent reaso
that 1t had no money, and for the ful
Their reason that it opposed such metf
DDS on principle. He said there wer

formed a circle about them At points
between the fires the neadmen took pO-

and headfeather of the old days.

toned pesle and mortar. ground grain
for the food. The corn and wheat had
been charmed by the medicine men.
The chanting of the squaWs continued
20 minutes, when Chief TOmanawas
arose from a crouching position in the
center of the big circle. and, giving
shout. which echoed along the hills,
commanded those assembled TO heark-
en- to the last voice Of the warriors
which would ever be heard in the Co.
lumbia river valley.
At the close of his address, which
was largely of historical character, the
veteran chieftain squatted on the
ground, and the Indians Joined the
chant of the aged squaw, who, during
the early part of the ceremony and the
chiefs big talk. Frustrated herself
squirming to free herself from the
bands which bound her and the others
of the tribe to this part of the river
lands. When all was quiet the squaw
uttered a terrifying scream and swoon-
cd striking the ground with force.
Without the slightest heed to the VIC
man, the chief and his tribesmen. dis
regarding all formalities, gathered
around the caldron of steaming 'mul-
| ligans,' and during the following 10
minutes they did full justice to the
dish At the close of the feast there
was a dance. several of the Indians do
! ing the torture dance with their war
| clubs. When this was over Chief To-
manawas and his men knelt at the
waters edge on the bank of the river,
and, raising their faces to the heavens
| they voiced another dirge-like song.
At midnight, when the moon had
reached the point in the sky for which
the farewell had been timed, the fires
on the river bank were smOthered, ca
noes were pushed into the water. the
aged squaw was placed on a rudely
built litter and showed into one of the
sliffs, and with blankets around their
heads and shoulders. Chief Tomarawas
and the Indians took their places in
their craft. At 4 signal from the
chieftain the canoes were padded out
into the swift waters of the Columbia
river and the passing Of the red man
from the valley became a matter Of
history.

Spokane, Wash, April 11.-Chief
Tomanawas and his tribe of Siwashes
have said their farewells and taken
formal leave of their favorite hunting
and fishing grounds on the Columbia
river, near what is to be the town of
White Bluffs, in Douglas county. south
west of Spokane. The final powwoW
and potlatch took place at night, and
closed with the tribal salute TO the
coming of the white race.
Graceful in his gestures and eloquent
in tongue, Tomanawas delivered the
farewell Grafton. holding his people lit
orally spellbOund for a quarter of an
tour, while he glorified their deeds Of
yalor. told Of their struggles against
the white man and of their battles
with other tribes who sought to invade
the rich valley. where he and his tribes
men and their forebears held sway
many years.
The ceremonials were witnessed by a
number of Yakimas. one time the bit
terest foes of the departing tribe, also
by a. large gathering of settlers who
came into the valley in advance of the
transcontinental railroad now building
through Washington.
The farewell was preceded by three
days of dancing. during which the chief
and headman visited the old stamping
ground which marked the scenes of
their victories in the Kakima Indian
wars. This was followed by II hours
of fasting, during which the squaws
and girls prepared the camp for the
final leave taking.
At dusk the heads of the bands Wis
tied the tribal burial grounds. request
ing the newcomers to permit the re-
mains of their departed brothers to
rest undisturbed. This rite being car
ried out with much ceremony and
pomp, the Indians assembled at the
waters edge. where small fires had
been started and the flames smothered.
Chief TOmanaWaS impSrSOnated the
war god to salute the newcomers.
When the moon appeared at a GER
tain point in the sky, the squaws be-
gan a death chant, which was weird
and wild in the extreme, their voices
mingling with the bowling of the coy
otes. Winnebishu, declared to be the

IN THROES OF
 GREAT SCANDAL
tContinued from Page ons.)

Scranton is today. In making Scranton so, Mir. Wilson said. prominent men committed suicide or were sent to the penitentiary for long terms.
 Concerning the case against Ramsey and vilBacl. of the German National Bank, Attorney Charles A. Gafan, vice president of the bank. issued the fol- lowing statement:
 ''On last Saturday after banking hours, the attention of the Board of Directors was directed by the national bank examiners to the fact that 6 charge had been made of the improper use of money to secure the selection of the German National Bank as one of the city depositaries. This information came as a great surprise to the mem berB of the board. It was deemed ad- visable however. pending a proper in- vestigation. to secure the resignations of Mir Ramsey. the president. and Mir. Vil- sack. the cashier. they being the ofi- ciala affected by the charge. This was done"

 All the Counciimen are candidates for reelection at the next election in Feb ruary.

 Another sensation developed today. when it became known that Director Of Pubic Safety Lang had demanded Che TesiRnatlon of Captain of Deteetivea Edwin T. McGough.
 Director Lang said today:
