with the present schedule left intact
by the new tariff bill. They will ask

still in the dark regarding what the

The committee let the old schedule OF
80 cents stand.

NASHVILLE, March 20.-Colonel
Duncan Cooper, and his son Robin,
were today found guilty of numbering
former Senator Carmack, in the Sec
ond degree, and were Immediately SEN
fenced to 20 years each by Judge Hart

and one, S. NJ. Hyde, holding for ac-

After several ballots eleven jurors
were voting for conviction in the sec
ond degree; and finally Hyde was won
over.
Under the laws of Tennessee the
jury fixes the penalty for all cases
except convictions of the first degree.
The minimum for the crime for which
the Coopers were convicted is 10 years.
The jury decided on the maximum, 20
years. q.
When the jury filed in after four
days deliberation the Coopers were

daughters. Father and son showed no
emotion when the verdict was read,
but the daughters were broken heart

The court Immediately commanded
the Coopers to stand up and then pro-

in the room were the sobbings of the
daughters. When they were led out
the defendants counsel announced that
an appeal from the verdict and judg-
ment would be taken. In support OF
the appeal the defense caused copies
to be made of the courts ruling to the
jury, when it announced it could not
agree regarding the Coopers, the in
structions that the jury must either
convict or acquit.

SHAKESPEARE IS
ON THE DECLINE
HANFORD FINALLY ADMITS
THAT CLASSIC AUTHOR
GROWS UNPOPULAR.
Says West is More Appreciative Of
Beauties of Authors Works
than East.

shakespeare is declining" said
Charles B. Hanford to representa- live
of a paper this morning, this fact be-
ing all the more significant because in
previous years this admission could not
be ELECTED from him.
Although this statement can not be
made in a large sense of the word
continued Mr.. Hanford "it is a fact
that the powers of the great dramatist
are not appreciated to the extent they
were years ago. This can not be set
down to any other reason than that of
the modern craze for making money.
People have time for nothing else and
the esthetic side of their natures must,
of necessity, remain undeveloped."
"It is for this reason that 1 am a
strong advocate of the National the

expense in which classic plays should
be presented for their educational
value alone It hurts no one to have
food for the soul from time to time
and in the mad rush for the Almighty
/ dollar no opportunity is granted in
which to get it,
When asked about the respective
! interest shown in the east and the
west concerning the Shakesperiar
drama, Mr.. Hanford said:
1T is strange thing, but the west
erner prefers that kind of thing much
more than does the easterner Where
ever you find the rugged and strong
nature, there you will find also an ap-
probation of the deeper literature an6
because of this, the east does not care
for shakespeare. They are, strictly
speaking. too frivolous for such
weighty matters and the lighter play.

Upon Registering, Voters
Will Have to Tell
Their Politics.
QUESTION LEGALITY
OF NAMES IN BOOK
Object of New Law Is to
Prevent Packing of
Direct Primaries.

City Clerk Tommy" Hart looks trou-
bled; in fact, he is troubled and the
cause of his mental discomfort is the
approval by Governor M. E. Hay of
the amendment to the direct primary
law, preceding that voters upon regis
tering shall give their party affilia-
tions, and with the names of 191 of
Walla Walla voters attached to the
books, it is thought the entire regis
so far as the coming primary election
is concerned.
The discrepancy was not discovered
until Thursday when the amendment
was compared with the original law
The bill amending the primary law,
which was enacted with an emergency
clause, has been approved by Acting
Governor M E. Hay and is now in
effect. 1t provides that in precincts
where registration is required the voter
in a primary election shall be entitled
to receive only the ballot of that party
for which he is registered. 1t makes
it necessary for each voter to register
his party affiliation in order to par
ticipate in the primary election. AS
the registration up to this time has
not included the party affiliation of the
voters it will be necessary for those
who nave registered at least to have
their party affiliation added to comply
with the requirements.
The amended law also provides fol
the rotation of the names of candl-
dates on the primary ballot and re-
quires the paid advertisements of can
didates published in newspapers to
state the names of persons paying
therefor.
Considerable discussion of the sub
iect has been indulged in by Walla
Wallans since the announcement Of tnt
approval of the amendment by the gov
ernor was made, the general belief be
ing that it is. contrary to the spirit o.
the government and the constitutions

beyond a doubt that members of the

have accomplished what it has for the
citizens of Walla Walla in one short
year

1t is not true that Maxine Elliott is

theatre in the form of a compartment
car which by means Of a clever Ileohani-
