who we're arrsyed with the law say that
the arrest was due TO the action OF the

on Jack Davis for his ~sctivity in the
labor troubles. Others take the ground
that he had nc right to carry a gun, and
that ne was equally culpable with tho

ASKS FOR BIG SUM.
Brings Suit Against DIR. ROssiter For
Si1,500 to Cover His Alleged
Injuries.

Elick Swason. through his attor-
ney. II. J Snivey, has brought suit
FOR $1f,100 against Dr.. F. NJ. Ros-
sitter, Of the Santarium. Mr.. Swan
son alleges gioss negligence and
carelessness on the part of the de-
fendant in the treating of a frac-
tured collarbone, making it neces-
sary for the plaintiff to have the
fracture broken anu reset, the result
of which has left him cripple.
According to the papers Swanson
was employed with the United States
reclamation service on the Teton
project on a rock gang, and on
March 8, 1907, was struck with Nv
ing rocks from blast, breaking his
hight collar bone At this time Dr.
Rossiter was employed by the gov
eminent as physician and surgeon.
each Of the employees being taxed one
dollar medical and hospital fees
The injured man was taken to the
hospital, where he claims the frac-
ture was never put in its correct po-
sition. and on April it was neces-
sary for the bone to be broken again.
The ends had calloused by this time,
and it was found necessary to re-
move three-quarters of an inch of
the bone leaving the plaintiff in
such condition that he can not use
his right arm without great effort
and the suffering of great bodily
pain. He sets forth in his COM
plant that he is "A years of age and
is unfit to follow any line of work
other than manual labor. He has
worked one month since the acct
dent, but is now incapacitated owing
to the fact that he is unable to bring
his right arm back of his body. He
claims that with proper care he
should have recovered within 60
days.
Plaintiff asks for $500 loss of
time. $500 that he has expended for
medical treatment and medicines
ard $4,000 damages.

TO CONTINUE WORK
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE

Commercial Club of North
Yakima.

The new governing board of the
Commercial club met Monday even
ing for the first time and aside from
the regular routine work the ques-
ton of continuing the publicity work
another year was discussed, the
opinion being that the publicity
work has more than paid for itself
in returns. While there is no way
of proving this in dollars and cents.
the numbers of inquiries that have
come in arising from this source
proves that the money expended has
served its purpose.
The question was not settled, and
the wishes of the business men will
be consulted before next Friday,
when the board will meet again to
decide what steps will be taken.
H. P. James, who is the present
secretary of the Commercial club.

WAS A SUCCESS
GlEE CLUB PLAYS TO
A CROWDED THEATRE
Displayed Excellent Talent From the
Standpoint of Amateurs
Clever Musicians.

The Washington State College
Glee club was greeted Monday night
at Yakima theatre by a crowded
and enthusiastic house of Yakima
boosters. The efforts OF the young
men and women from Pullman were
appreciated to the fullest. The
singing of the boys was heartily en-
cored, and their NEUROLOGICAL comedy
act proved most laughable farce.
From a strictly amateur standpoint
there could be no unfavorable criti-
cism on the singing and acting of the
young men.
In speaking of the performance Of
Miss Bertha Seabury, the violiniste,
she deserves praise of the highest
order Her technique, interpreta
ton, and intonation, came as from
a pupil of the great Ole Bull, and
the audience encored the little lady
demonstratively.
AS much should be said of the
pianiste, Miss Beatrice Trainor She
played with wonderful expression,
and showed herself mistress of the
piano-forte.
The reception and dance given in
the Commercial club rooms follow
ing the entertainment at the opera
house was decided social success.
The reception room and dance hall
afforded scene of unusual joviality.
The affair was in charge of local
members of the Washington State
College alumni. Wright's five-piece
orchestra discoursed the music, and
the young folks danced until
o'clock this morning. Light refresh
ments were served.
The college boys were very CRATE
full for the courtesies shown them
while in the city, and by their gen.
tlemanly demeanor they have made
a great many friends here.
The Glee club will leave this
morning on westbound passenger

tainment tonight at Ellensburg I'M

gist.

If it were not for the short seller
hops would not be worth one cent
a pound, declared James Pincus, of
Isaac Pincus & Sons, to the Tacoma
News At all of the meetings of the
hop growers of this state, Oregon
and California to organize the Pa
cifc Hop Growers union, the short
seller has been bitterly assailed, the
growers asserting that the short
seller has been bearing down the
market with paper" hops.
The statement was made by Mr.
Pincus that the brewers of this
country do not need any more hops
and that, if it were not for the buy
ing of the short seller to fill contracts
with the brewers, hops would be
practically worthless. Some OF these
cont acts run back to 1904, which
was a high" year, and the dealers
who have some of those contracts are
making handsome profits. The con
tracts usually run from three to five
years. Speaking of the short seller,
Mr.. Pincus said:
do not need any more hops but they
have to take from the dealers ali
the hops sold in advance as stipulat-
ed in the contracts. The short seller
| is thus forced out in the market to
| fill those contracts and, if it We're no.
| for his buying, hops would not be
worth a cent a pound.
For instance, the short seller has
sold hops for delivery in January.
The brewer does not require the hops
then and will probably not use them
for six months or a year, because he
IS heavily stocked. The short seller
goes out in the market to buy hops
"a fill the contract and this demand
strengthens the price"
Mr.. Pincus holds that short sellinS
is not like short selling of wheat, for
the short seller of hops delivers the
goods while the short seller of wheat
CANDLES only in margins. Short sell
ing of wheat he says, does not affect
the real market, while the short sell
ing Of hops does.
At present the short seller IS not
in the market in Washington. The
Oregon market shows light actiyi-
ty. S. e f. Uhlman bought from
Farmer e Peterson 900 bales of 1907
Sonoma's at 4 cents pound,
which is the lowest price on record.
Regarding the Pacific Hop Grow
ers' union. Portland dispatch says:
"A formal announcement by the
directors of the proposed hop grow
ers' union is expected this week. The
trade would be very much surprised
If an abandonment of the scheme is
not announced"
