L. n, Chaussee, the carpenter, pub
llshed exclusively in last weeks Issue
OF The Herald, brought prompt re-
spouse from the people of Pullman
ana surrounding country. Before
the call was published several noble
hearted women had discovered the
condition of the family and had IN
dertaken to care for the children.
Mrs. w. d. Henry, Mrs. O. e. Hender-
son and several other women took
the matter in hand and on Thanks
giving day the children were given
a splendid dinner at the home of
| Mr. and Mrs. o. f. Henderson, on
! West Main street
The teachers in the Edison school
took up the matter of raising pro-
visions for a Thanksgiving dinner

girl of % months, has been adopted
by the family of Dimmick Ash, of
Palouse. William Jones, a we'll
known farmer, took the youngest
boy, aged four years. Mr.. and Mrs.
o. e. Henderson will take Alice,
aged seven. Mr.. and Mrs Jack Ling
take Hazel, aged nine; Pat Ryan
| takes Leona, aged II. This leaves
two girls, Beulah, aged 70; and
Clara, who will be ID in March, to
be cared for. Homes are wanted
for these two girls, who are bright,
intelligent children and will be a
great help to some woman, who
needs assistance in the house, for
they are strong and willing to work.
There Is still need of clothing for
the children and any one having
clothing or anything that can be
made into clothes for the girls should
notify Mrs w. ID. Henry or Mrs. o.
e. Henderson. These two women
have done a grand work in this case
Mrs. Henderson threw open her home
to the children and all who wished
to assist in sewing and making cloth
ing for them, and the house has been
filled for more than a week. 1t is
the desire of these women to outfit
each child with suitable clothing
and to find good homes for them.
Mr.. Chaussee is a hard worker, a
carpenter, sober and Industrious
Last July his wife died in Palouse
after a lingering illness He cared
for her, almost unassisted, sitting up
with her II nights before she died
After her death he came to Pullman
and found work and the neighDors
in Palouse made complaint about him
leaving the children there alone and
he brought them to Pullman and has
been trying to care for them alone,
but ii has been a hard task.

great growth of sentiment against
the liquor traffic. Despite the ex-
pendlture of vast sums and the i'm
portation of voters from other places
some OF these towns. where the sa-
looms have positively controlled the
local government for many years,
saved the saloons by bare majority.

Gated, gave 4 majority for saloons,

ColfaX, but threats of prosecution
kept many of them from offering to

A significant fact, which speaks
volumes in favor of having no sa-
looms in a town, is the heavy vote
given against saloons in every town

THE HAzERS MUST STAY OUT
Efforts to Get the Cadets Dismissed
From West Point ReInstaIled Is
Perfectly Useless.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-"It is per-
fectly useless for any Of the young
cadets who were dismissed by Presi-
dent Taft last week from the West
Point Military Academy for hazlng
Cadet Orlando Sutton, to make any
efforts toward reinstatement" said a
well known army oficer.
"The law is mandatory on the sub
feet of the dismissal Of cadet found
guilty Of hazing." He added, "and
neither the president nor the secre-
tary Of war has any power to reinstate
any OF them. The law against hazing
provides for dismissal Of cadets found
guilty Of participating, encouraging, Or
counteracting such practices and they
are not eligible to again entefeWest
Point or for admission to the army
through civilian examination until two
years after the class Of which they
were members has graduated" 81

THE message WLl
URGE POSTALBANKS
President Taft viii Ask Congress to
Keep Party Pledge.
GOVERNMENT COULD USE MONEY
He Favors Placing Interest at Less
Than Two Per cent-Would
Not Affect Private
banlto.

Beverly. Mass, Aug. 2e.--Presideni
Taft indicated In talks with callers
that In his message TO congress nexl
December, he will strongly urge the
early establishment of postals saw
ings bank system. IHe viii ask thai
the platform declaration Of the Re
publican party in favor Of postal banks
be fulfilled as speedily as possible. ,
President Taft believes that several
hundreds millions Of dollars would be
placed at the disposal Of the govern
ment through postal saving banks. II
is suggested that this money might
well be employed In taking up the
$500, 100000 or 800, 900, 900 OF govern
ment two per cent bonds, which are
outstanding and which have given
much concern to the treasury depart
nent officials. Already the two per
cent bonds are selling below par and
there is fear Of further depreciation IN
view of the three per cent issues
which have, been authorized and which
soon may be, placed ON the market.
The president believes that the postal
banks would appeal to those timid
persons who are afraid to trust the or
binary banks and who would rather
get the two per cent or less interest,
which the government would give,
than to place the money In. the regular
savings banks where 1t would draw
from three to four per cent interest
each year.
BY placing the interest to be allowed
by the postal banks at less than two
per cent, Mr.. Taft is convinced that
no harm would be done to the ordinary
banks of commerce, for discrimfnat-
ing persons who now place their
money in these banks and are appre-
ciative Of what these banks are doing
for the community would not with
draw money drawing high rate and
place 1t under government care at half
the interest offered by the ordinary
savings banks. 80
Secretary Meyer Of the navy, for
merly postmaster general. is strong
~ In favor ofpostal banks. He has
given much thought and study to the
subject and is convinced Of its i'm
portance to the government. Idle
funds would be placed at the disposal
Of the government at an exceedingly
low rate Of interest. ..s 40. ~

Although Hubert Latham with a dit'

positions, the aviation committee held
that he was ineligible for two prizes
and awarded the fifth to NJ. Tissandier
and the sixth to M Sommer.
Although Forman's brilliant record
as an aeroplanist should have warned
the sharps that he was a dngerous
competitor, his victory was a complete
surprise. He had been preparing his
machine secretly and had not ap-
peared upon the field until yesterday
except for a few practice flights and
had been almost forgotten. Indeed,
after he started 4:30 p. m. keeping
close to the ground while Latham and
others were soaring in spectacular
fashion high in the air, Farman at
tracted no attention until he had flown
so kllometers. Then suddenly the
watchers woke up and began to make
inquiries, only to discover that he had
gone out carrying petroleum enough for
a s hour flight and equipped with
seIf-cooling revolving motor belt BY
the Gnome company after his own de-
sign. as -.
The crowds in the stand waited
patiently, content that all records had
been broken. Finally at 1870 o'clock
the announcement was made that the
timing Of the aeroplaHist had ended
Under the rules. Ten minutes more
and suddenly, out Of the darkness q

A great cheer arose and hundreds

was made by Wilbur Wright at LIZ

record was two hours n minutes Ii

lance was about 1874 hlometers, or 81

Starting in 10 knot breeze shortly

venturesome rivals who desired to
await calmer air, Paulhan not only
accomplished his original purpose, but
continued to circle the vast plain until
his tank was literally empty. Thir-
teen times he made the circuit. Even
when q shower accompanied by a
high wind suddenly broke, the intrepid
pilot did not falter. He battled In the

spell-bound admiration, When he
succeeded in rounding the turn the
