Discipline in the Army.

president Taft, In sustaining the ver-
diet of dismissal imposed upon seven
cadets by the superintendent OF the West
Point Academy, has restored discipline
to that institution. The authority Of the
officials of the academy had been sub
verted during the last administration.
Several cadets had been found guilty of
gross infraction Of the rules. and had
been regularly tried and sentenced to
dismissal and to other forms of punish
ment. Immediately they rushed to Wash
ington: appealed frantically to their SEN
ators and representatives In Congress;
exerted every possible influence in the
political world at their command. and so
effectually did they work that President
Roosevelt interceded In their behalf, and
reversed his own secretary OF War and
the authorities OF West Point.

RE-ENTERS REAL
/. ESTATE BUSINESS
IRA ID. EDWARDS HAS RENTED
OFFICES TO BE VACATED
JUNE BY THE RED APPLE
REAL ESTATE COMPANY.

Ira D. Edwards, who has recently
returned from a winter spent in Cali
fornia and Arizona, has decided to
again cast his lot with Wenatchee
and go back to his former calling of
handling real estate. He has secured
the offices under the Columbia VAL
ley bank, to be vacated June 1 by the
Red Apple Real Estate company.
Mr. Edwards is one of the pioneer
realty dealers of the valley and is
perfectly ccnversant with the valley
and it's values. He already has quite
list of lands and it is safe to say
that he will do his share of the
realty business of the city.
In speaking of his return to the
Wenatchee valley. Mr. Edwards said
this morning to the Daily World:
After having spent the past two
years travelling through ani investi-
eating the far-famed irrigated Sec
tions of Idaho, Oregon, California
and Arizona, I am convinced now
more fully than ever that the We
natchee valley really offers better op-
portunities for the homeseeker, the
investor and the business man than
any other section in the west. have
seen nothing to compare with it. In
order to fully appreciate the wonder
full possibilities of this valley one
needs only to investigate in person
the other sections so much talked
about. What has been done is only
a beginning. The next few years will
see a wonderful development here,
even more wonderful than has been
the development during the past few
years, and I am glad to get back
to take up my life again in the best
place I have ever seen."

OFFICERS CAPTURE
CROOKS
OPTICAL MAN LOST HIS CASE OF
GOODS BUT STOCK WAS RE-
TURNED AND THE OFFENDERS
CAPTURED SATURDAY.

J. B. Gibbins. an itinerant optical
man, who has been staying at the Pa
cific hotel in this city. had his opti-
cal case stolen from the Pacific hotel
on May IS. The officers were noti-
fled and commenced search for the
goods. They learned during the day
that the bridge walker had noticed
two men dig hole below the bridge
and bury something in it. The Of
ficers started an investigation and
found the goods, which were buried.
These were taken out of the case,
but the case was reburied and a
guard was stationed to watch the
cache. Sheriff Ferguson himself
spent one night on the river bank,
but the men did not return that
night On Saturday afternoon the
local police force was notified by the
bridge walker that two men were on
the river bank engaged in digging for
the case. Officer Nelson responded
at once and took in tow the two men,
who gave their names as George Dol
son and James A. Mccormick. Both
men are transients and they will
probably receive a preliminary ex-
animation some time today.

OF WORKINGMEN'S CONDITION

London, May 24.-For the purpose
of better organizing labor and re-

London and other English cities,
Winston Spencer Churchill, president
of the board of trade, has introduced
in the house of commons a bill ere
ating a national system of labor ex-
changes, similar to those already in
existence on the continent. He stat
ed that in connection with this new
departure, the government also in
tends to establish policy Of unem-
ployment insurance.
If the bill is adopted it is purposed
to start a scheme beginning in 1910
dealing first with the whole group of
the house building, general construct
ing and machine trades and ship
building workmen. This would cover
roughly nearly half of the whole field
of unemployment, in fact the worst

benefits rather lower than those paid
by the strongest trades unions. This
would necessitate the raising of be-

employer and the state. He was con-
vinced parliament gladly would ap-
ply its remaining strength to grap-

of social disorganization, which was
marring the health and happiness of
the country and which, If neglected,

WAS TIRED Of LIFE;
'SU|C|DED
j. NJ. CUNNINGHAM, A CARPEN-
TER, PUTS BULLET THROUGH
HIS HEAD EARLY THIS MORN
'ING-HAD LIVED IN TACOMA.

A railroad employe this morning
on going to the toilet at the Great
Northern depot discovered the body
of a dead man sitting upright on the
seat. The officers were soon notified
and on the arrival of Coroner Saun-
ders the man was taken to the
Sprague undertaking parlors. 1t is
very evident that the man was sui
eide. A small caliber gun was found
where it had dropped following the
shot The bullet had entered the
right temple. TIL man was horrible
looking spectacle as the blood from
the wound had drippei over his face,
chest and lap. From papers found
on the man his identity was estab-
lished as that of ]. M. Cunningham,
and he arrived here May from Ta-
coma.
The man has been staying at the
Columbia hotel and his board was
paid until the 26th of this month.
From the proprietor of the hotel it
is learned that the man was a car
penter and he has had some trouble
recently in securing his tool chest,
which had been shipped to Colfax
from Tacoma. Evidently the man
had changed his plans anj came here
instead of going to Colfax, and trou-
BILE was experienced to get the chest
sent to this place. It came Saturday
and the man stated last night that
he intended to go to work building
flume for the valhalla Orchard COM
pany. He slept in his bed last night
at the hotel and was seen reading the
papers early in the evening. The
body was discovered about o'clock
this morning, and evidently the fatal
shot was fired quite early.
Receipts found in the mans coat
showed him to be member in good
standing Of the Tacoma lodge A. o.
q. w. He also had a letter from his
son, dated in November and ad-
dressed to him at 2713 South Yakima
street, Tacoma. The son was at
South Park, a suburb of Tacoma. A
wire was sent to the son today by
Coroner Saunders and the local lodge
of A. o. U. w. has notified the Ia
coma lodge of the tragedy.
A search was made of his effects
in his room at the Columbia hotel,
but there are no letters of import
ance found. nor was there any clue
discovered as to the probable rea-
sons of the suicide. Some of his fell
low boarders expressed themselves
this morning that the man seemed
to be good fellow, was not a drink
ing man and once served on the po-
lice force either in Tacoma or Seat
tie. but that within the last few days
he has acted rather peculiar and had
a peculiar glitter in his eye and it IS
thought that he committed the deed
during a fit of temporary insanity.
He was about As years of age, was

WENATCHEE WINS
BYDEC|S|VE SCORE
LEAVENWORTH BRINGS GREAT
TEAM BUT FINDS WENATCHEE
VASTLY IMPROVED SINCE PRE-
CEDING GAME.

1t was a magnificent game. The
day was ideal and 500 people turned
out. Probably as many more would
have been there had they known that
an exhibition of real CLASSY" ball
was to take place. Certainly Sunday
baseball is not very Objectionable
when the crowd is the kind that
went to the park yesterday. Many
ladies were presen and there was not
the slightest evidence of rowdyism
The bleachers overfowed and the
side lines were filled with teams and
| automobiles and individuals stand
ing mp. The need of a grand stand
and enlarged bleachers was strongly
in evidence, for If we are to have tn
kind of ball furnished yesterday, the
crowds will double even this large
attendance.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the conduct of the players them
selves in both teams. They were all
gentlemen and showed a sportsman
like spirit Rivalry was there in
plenty and each team played des.
perately to win.7 But there was no
kicking" no loud talk, and Umpire
Wisnanj's decisions were accepted
with few protests.
The game itself was hotly con-
tested from start to finish. Leaven-
worth led off with a run in the first
inning, but it was not many more
times at bat until the score was 4
to 2 in favor of the home team. The
visitors tried hard to make a rally
in the seventh inning, and it seemed
that they would even up things with
men ON second and third But there
were two outs and LOnganecker put
something extra onto the ball and
the batter famed. Then our boys
went to bat, and the things they did
to that ball were good and plenty.
Three men came over the plate and
Leavenworth, being unable to do
anything in the first half of the ninth
the game ended without Wenatchee
going to bat the last half Score,
Z to 2.
1t was a pitchers battle and a
beauty. Lee was very effective and
held his own until the eighth inning,
when he seemed to weaken just
enough to give Wenatchee a strong
lead. Longanecker was simply in
vincible, and. best of all, his head
was always cool Twice he came out
of tight pinches by tanning his bat
ter when a hit would have proved
disastrous.
The "headwork" of the home team
was highly pleasing. One squeeze
play" was immensely amusing, be-
cause it so completely mystified the
visitors that they let Triplett come
in home and another runner get to
third while they only succeeded in
getting the batter at first. This was
