ANDRE NAbS
THREE DEsERTERS
OFFICER OVERHAULS MEN AND
RETURNS THEM TO FORT
EARNS $50.

One of the best days work ever done
by Patrolman Charles Andre was that
of yesterday, or rather last night and
early this morning, when single-handed
he captured three deserters from Troop
B, Fourteenth cavalry, of the United
States army, for which he will receive
$3.50.
Robert J. McManey, Frank Smith
and Fred Nuke are the trio who tired
Of army life and yesterday they planned
their desertion and last night started to
make their getaway. Stealing a suit
from one Of the scrgeants Of their troop
they left the post. Downtown, McManey
and Smith are said to have stolen a
suit of clothes from the Alto lodging
house and then the whole trio are said
to have taken part in the theft of an
other suit from the Pioneer barn. One
of the men had donned one Of the stolen
suits. but the other two suits have not
as yet been located.
Patrolman Andre saw the trio. all of
whom are more or less we'll known to
the local police, and at once became
suspicious of their actions. Following
them he was led a merry chase but he
camped on their trail and at last seeing
they intended to desert, took them in
charge and landed them in the county
Jail.
The authorities at the fort were no
tified and this morning came down and
eot the men. Andre was routed out OF
he'd to accompany the prisoners to the
most to comply with formalities, but
when he found he had earned $15e he
lid not feel so awfully bad about being
walked up. All three of the men, it is
said. have given the police great deal
of trouble and since the first Of the
year McManey has been up four times
They will be courtmartialled and with
the evidence against them will in all
probability be convicted. Desertion is
punishable by imprisonment for three
to five years.

COLO FOB FOR sPuD MURPHY
WHITMAN COACH SURPRISED BY
MEMBERS OF MISSIONARY
TRACK TEAM.

To show their. regard for the man
who has coached their track team
through a successful season this year,
the Whitman boys last night presented
Coach Murphy with a handsome gold
fob and locket. The locket Is engraved
with Murphy's initials on one side and
with a large "W'', while on tn" re-
verse side is From Whitman frienuA
'Os."
Coach Murphy has won much popu-
layity at the college this spring and de-
servedly so, for he has helped Whit
man to win more In track than she has
ever been able to DO before. Before the
season opened many predicted that the
local college would not get look-in in
track this var, but Coach Murphy de-
veloped men who won the champion
ship Of three states. He has been the
best track coach, far and away, that
Whitman has ever had.
After a speech by Pres. PenrOse and
much cheering by the boys, Captain
Philbrook Of the team presented the
fob to the coach, who was surprised
and deeply moved at the show Of ap-
probation. Profs. Bratton and Coleman
then made speeches and the meeting
was ended with cheers for Murphy, the
team and for everyone in general.
While this year has been a success
full one on the track, next year will be
fully as much so. Contrary to reports.
Philbrook is not ineligible on account
of the four-year rule and was yester-
day chosen by the team to the captain
cy again next year. Martin will be back
and with the development of the other
men are bound to show there will be
things doing for the Missionary track
team next year

Roosevelt viii stop Influx
Oriental Labor
NUMBER IS INCREASING
MIkADos HARDNESS IN REGULA-
TING IMMIGRATION MAY LEAD
TO EXCLUSION ACT.

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-Unofhcial
announcement was made today that
President Roosevelt has in strong
terms called the attention of Japan to
the continued influx Of Japanese labor
ers and. that the Mikajo has been in
formed that unless the matter Is now
regulated the United States will be
compelled to adopt an exclusion law.
There was a big drop in the number
Of Japanese arrivals Immediately after
the passage Of tn reolution Of last
year putting the passport agreement
into effect. but the number Of brown
men coming In is steadily crawling UP.
AS Japan would strongly oppose any
action looking to the legalization IF
the policy Of exclusion, President
Roosevelt decided to let that country
regulate the matter so that 1t would not
suffer any humiliation.
But as the Mikado has been slow in
stopping the influx the president feels
that 1t Is his duty to call a halt even IL
he has to address a note Of remons-
trance to Japan.
