Washington, March 21.-The anti
Bryan wing Of the democracy is today
declaring that they have already en-
compassed the defeat of the Nebras-
kan at the Denver convention.
Using the name OF John A. John
son to conjure with they assert that
they have already three more than the
necessary number Of votes to prevent
the nomination without the aid of a
single delegate from the south.
They claim that all the states east
from Maine to Maryland and Ohio,
West Virginia and Minnesota will be

ready refused to instruct for the
peerless one. Delaware has instruct

Denies the Charge.

Walla Walla, March 21.--A vigor-
Gus denial of the charges implied Is
made by George NJ. Whitson, charged
with passing worthless checks, who
declares that the trouble arose over
misunderstanding and that the amount
involved is so small that he could
readily settle the account.
As a representative of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company, Whitson has
been frequently in Walla Walla and
is known to many local business men
who bear testimony to his integrity.
The charge against him is so direct,
however, and the desire Of the Oregon
authorities to apprehend him so
strong that Sheriff Haviland has no
other recourse but to hold him.
Sheriff Fisk, after comforting with
the governor of Oregon at Salem last
evening, took train for Olympia where
he will probably see Governor Mead
today, He is expected in WaIla Walla
tomorrow.

Salt Lake, Mar PA runaway
engine today plunged down the grade
at lightning speed, carrying three
men to death and injuring as many
more. The dead are: j. NJ. Cor
dan, engineer. Charles Madden, con-
ductor, ]. Joyce, fireman.
The engine had just passed the top
of the grade at the Bingham branch
of the Denver & Rio Grande and
started down the other side when the
engineer found the brakes had gone
wrong.
The engine was gaining speed every
moment and fairly leaping over the
rails, swaying in sickening fashion,
compelling The men to cling to the
side Of the cab The men remained
in the vain hope that the engine would
stay on the lrrack until a level had
been reached. Instead the engine
struck snow bank and toppled over
The three injured men owe their
escape from death to the fact that
they were thrown into the snow bank

LONG FOR THE OLD WAY.
Pilot Rock Old Timers Not Satisfied
With Having Mails Delayed by
Washouts.

Just as Uncle Sam had relegated
to tNc rear the last relic of pioneer
DAYS. the old stake coach, that has
made daily trips to Pilot Rock. 10
these many years. by awarding the
ra 'rpaf the contract FOR carrying the
mails Pilot Rock was shut off from
the outside world for two days so far
as receiving any mail was concerned.
says the Pit Rock Record.
The old stage coach was pulled off
between Pilot Rock and Pendleton.
Saturday last, and Mondays mail
came in by the Umatilla Central for
the first time. Washouts along the
main line. however. presented the
Pilot Rock train from making con-
INJECTIONS until yesterday morning.
Some Of the old timers are inclined
to regret the change that has been
wrought by Father Time in doing
away with the familiar sight of the
four horses and the old stake coach
as they came bowling into town over
the rocks and lined up in front of
the postorfice
Under the change the old mails
sacks are hauled up from the depot
in an express wagon, without fuss or
feathers, and there is a something
about the new tangled arrangements
that makes the old timers heart sick.
But then he feels that he, too will
soon be cast aside with the old stage
coach and that his place will be filled
by some one more accustomed to the
innovations of this utilitarian age.

stanford University, Mar. 2l.-The

aiming the 500 students who con-
fessed TO having been in the mob Of
students who made Il noisy demon
straton before PROT Clark's home
recently, for which II have been sus-

The only hope the students have
of reinstatement is that the Stanford
alumni will take steps to make such
strong representations to the COM
mittee that they will rescind the ac-
tion.
The only thing that prevents
walk-out of thestudents and some
radical action is the refusal of Pres
ident Murphy of the student body to
call student meeting until the ex-
animation of the student affairs COM
mittee is completed.
The alumni is generally standing
with the students In opposition to

CAN'T COLLECT POLL TAX.
Innocent Little Joker In Bill by Last
Legislature RepeaIs Poll Tax Law.


Walla Walla, March 21.-All money
collected this year by the deputy as
SCISSORS for poll taxes must be refund
ed and the assessors, when they come
In to make their reports, will be in
structed not to collect any more money
for this purpose.
The last legislature repealed the
poll tax law by passing an innocent
looking little clause, which everyone
seemed to have overlooked, because
the poll taxes are being collected all
over the state So far as Is known,
Whitman county is the only other
county Of the state which has discov-
cred that poll taxes cannot be coll
lected.
About all the important little clause
says Is that sections ., 3, 4 and 6 Of
chapter 119 of the 1903 session laws
are hereby repealed" Nothing is said
in the index about the poll tax coll
lections and the county officials here
had not discovered It.
A few days ago ]. NJ. Ruply, a men,
ber of the Whitman board of commits
sioners, was in the city and in con-
versation with Chairman George
Struthers said that Whitman county
was not collecting poll taxes, as It
was Illegal. Chairman Struthers in
vestigated and the law was found. No
blame attaches to anyone excepting
perhaps the legislature for not being
more specific.
When the commissioners got togeth-
er today they decided to instruct the
deputy assessors tomorrow not to coll
loct the poll tax.
The money so far paid in will be re-
funded.

Moody, attorney for the o. r. & N.

row, tax agent, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon to discuss the set
tlement of the delinquent taxes owed
the county by the railroad company
they represent, with the county COM
missioners and the prosecutink attor-
ney.
There are two bones of contention.
One is the interest on the 1905 tax,
which would be Is per cent on $24,-
072, for about one year. The other
is the increase in the valuation of the
company's property in 1905 from ST.
500 per mile to $4,000 a mile.
In settlement of the two PROPOSE
tions, Mr.. Morrow offers the county
per cent interest on the 1906 taxes
