WHITMAN COLLEGE ALUMNI MEET
AT ANNUAL BANQUET IN MA
SONIC TEMPLE.

Officers were elected matters of i'm
portance discussed and feed and
general good time enjoyed by the men,
bers of the Whitman college alumni
at their annual banquet held last night
in the Masonic temple at $50 O'Clock
and lasting about three and half
hours.
For president during the ensuing
year, DR.. Bert Thomas was elected by
acclamation. The other officers are:
e-President, Harold Ellis; secretary,
Louis Sutherland: treasurer. Charles
d. Robinson; members of the execu-
tive board, p. NJ. Winans. Eliza Ram
sey and Grant S. Bond
After tie banquet several toasts
were given the following speakers re-
plying: Harry Davenport. Miss Wyle
of Foo Chow college in China, Prof
William Worthington and Louis Suth-
erland.
Much discussion followed a motion
to hold the annual banquet on Tues
day night of commencement week here
after. the motion being amended and
voted down until it emerged one to
hold banquet on Wednesday night of
commencement week, providing that
such date does not interfere with the
college program for the week. This
was passed. The banquet has been held
formerly on Tuesday but owing to ne
cessity it is thought the council din
ner may have to be changed from We'd
nesday to that night.
During the course of the banquet the
class of 1908 newly admitted to the
Whitman alumni association. had to
undergo much good natured chaff
concerning their prorensities to get en-
gagged. 1t is said that no less than hal;
the score of members of the class have
been made happy as the results of the
secondary benefits of coeducation. The
members were dared to hold up their
left hands and given much other pub
Iicity in the matter, all of which they
seemed to take as a matter of course.

KENTUCKY LINES
UP FOR BRYAN
MARSE HENRY'S STATE WILL BE
SOLID FOR THE NE
BRASKAN.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 10.-With
the gathering of the Blue Grass democ-
racy in Lexington today in advance If
state convention. it has be-
come almost certainty tnat Ken
tucky'S representation of 26 delegates
will be solid for Bryan Johnson has
many supporters in the state. but they
are not likely to WELD sufficient in
fiuence in the convention to overcome
the lead of the Mebraskan. Some oppC-
sition has developed to the leadership
of the Bryan movement by Congress
man Ollie NJ. James, and there may be
a fight within the Bryan ranks.
1t is also understood that efforts are
to be made to inject local issues into
the state convention. This is a move
ment to which it is known Bryan OBJ
jects. He is of the opinion that all
the states. and particularly Kentucky,
should go into the campaign on nation
a, issues ana fight it out on those lines.
He evidently figures that state issues
might muddy the waters and keep vO-
ters away from the polls in November.

FISH SWEPT ASHORE.
Millions of Dead Fish Cast up
by the Sea at Wrightsville
Beach.
Wilmington Dispatch, 21st.

Beach.
Wilmington Dispatch, 21st.
Those who visited Wrightsville
Beach yesterday were confront
ed by a decidedly interesting
sight;in fact, one somewhat Won
derful. On the sound side fish
by the thousand lined the beach.
There were many kinds of the
members of the fnny family, but
the great majority of them were
fat-backs, or Menhadens. There
were millions of them, as remark
able as may seem this statement,
and just what was the precise
cause of their being there has
not yet been determined, though
several reasons have been ad-
vanced. The fish were thrown
upon the beach some time Sat-
urday night or early yesterday
morning. The fat-backs were
all dead and had been swept in
to the inlet and then hurled by
the tide onto the beach. There
were some live trout and other
fish among the number, but the
fat-backs largely predominated.
Fish were scattered up on the
beach for almost the entire length
of the sound, but from about Sta
ton 2 almost to Lumina they
were piled on the shore. The pile,
too, was quite high, and varied in
width. Many viewed the sight
with interest and amazement.
The fatheads were small ones
and their eyes were blood-shot,
which seemed to indicate some
violent death from shock. Some
fishermen advanced the idea tina
explosions at sea, made in ordel
to blow-up wrecks, caused thi'
great and remarkable slaughter
