LARGE VOTE LOOKED FUR TODAY AND
 TOMORROW
CONTEST FOR GOWN CLOSES AT NOON ToMoRRow-wINNER
 NAMED TUESDAY
POSITIONS ARE NOT CHANGED
MISS CRAZE, HAMMERED BY ILL NESS, STILL RETAINS OLD
 PLACE IN CITY

The contest for the beautiful $iO gown will close promptly at noon tomor row. The name of the winner of the prize will be published in Tuesday mornings paper and the successful young lady will then be given the priv ilege of visiting any store selling la dies ready-to-wear garments advertis- ing in the Silver Belt and select a dress not to cost more than $40, which will buy an exceptionally good gown. Sun day mornings paper will perhaps carry advertising touching on this very line of goods and we would advise the con- testants to read the advertising matter over carefully. There may be some spe. cial inducement offered Silver Belt con. test girls. At all events, read the ad- vertising matter You will always find it profitable.
 Despite an unusually heavy vote cast yesterday, there is no change in the standing of the candidates. Miss Shiv- CTS still holds the leading position in the general contest, only separated from Miss Ryan by few votes. In the Globe districts, Miss Grabe, although confined to her home by sickness, holds first position, but is closely followed by the other candidates.
 The contest editor is of the opinion that large vote will be cast today and tomorrow morning, as returns di rect from the candidates, who art known to be working hard, have been coming in slowly. All candidates should make special effort today, as few points may win the dress.

A LITTLE GIRL
Body of 9-Year- Old Daughter of Joseph
a. Poltera Is Found Denuded
and With a Cash In
Throat.

LOS ANGELES, May 20.-Lying in
a clump of bushes, her fair hair con-
cealing an ugly cash in her throat, the
body of Anna Poltera, aged nine, a
school girl, was found this morning, in
Griffith park. The body was nearly
denuded Therein is every indicatio
that she was a fiend's victim.
The ground at the rear of a wall of
a brick house in the widest region. of
the park shows that a struggle preced-
ed the tragedy. The jugular vein was
severed.
The girl lived with her father, Jo-
seph A Poltera and her mother, on the
county road near the entrance to the
park. She had been missing since Mon
day. The police are working hard on
the case, which has aroused the en-
tire community.

Florence Nightingale, heroine of
many bloody battlefields and the most
famous nurse in the worlds history
has just celebrated her Goth birthday.
The queen of nurses lives now in a
quiet little house in London, the house
that has been her home for 40 years.
She is a beautiful old lady, and it
seems almost wrong to call her old, SO
smooth is her white brow and so few
the wrinkles that have come to fur
pioneer of battlefield nurses, loves to
have visits from nurses in the old uni
form she knows so well. she begs
them all to come attired in the nursing
uniform. 1t is natural that in the
evening of life Miss Nightingale's mind
turns from the battlefield to home
nursing. The art of trained" nursing
by women has practically grown with
in the lifetime of Miss Nightingale
and partly by the help and example of
her precepts. She did not go with the
British army to Crimea in 1854. She
stayed at the great base hospital on
the heights of Scutari, opposite Con-
stantinople. Her knowledge of nurs-
ing she could hardly have acquired in
England at that time. She has stud
led with the sisters of ST. Vincent De
Paul in Paris. Not long since Miss
Nightingale was vested by Cling Ed
the first woman to receive this distinc-
ton. The Order was founded by King
Edward in 1892 for the recognition of
especially distinguished services in all
walks of life.

A movement is also on foot to de-
crease the number of delegates attend
ing the conferences, on the ground
that so larga a body cannot dispense
with business expeditiously. AS a
matter Of economy, it is also proposed
to hold sessions of the conferences less
frequently.
What will probably prove to. be the
features of the conference will be the
marching of 1000 Sunday school chill
dren of Denver, Sunday, May %, in
the Sunday school missionary parade
and the labor mass injecting to be held
simultaneously at the auditorium.
1t is the desire of the conference 10
bring the Presbyterian church and the
laboring classes in as close touch as
possible. To this end leaders of all Ia
Dor organizations in Denver have been
invited to participate in the meeting to
be in the auditorium.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR
May 20.
KATE FIELD.

Kate Field, an American journalist,
was born in st. Louis, May 20, 1910.
She was aducated in Massachusetts
and in Europe, and while travelling be-
came foreign correspondent of the New
York Tribune, and several other pa
FIR magazines. public reader and a
publisher. She established Kate
Fields Washington a weekly paper
at Washington, in 1889. She was the
author of 'Planchettes Diary" QS6S),
"Haphazard" GS73), "Ten Days In
Spain" GS75), and History of Bells
Telephone" GS7S).
One of her warmest personal friends
Jeanette Glider, editor of the Critic,
says: ut was as nespaper correspond
ent that Miss Field shone to best adj
vantage. She had quick observation,
keen sense of humOr and a facile
pen. In the earlier days of her career,
there WAS no more popular newspaper
writer in America. But toward the end
she got worn out; she had worked too
hard, and things had not gone well
with her. The old snap and spirit were
missing. But she worked on with as
much energy as when she was young
and strong. Her best writing, perhaps,
are those describing incidents of trav-
Ell abroad. She died while on a visit to
the Island of Hawaii. Honolulu, May
10, 1896.

SAVING THE CHILDREN.

More than 100000 school children
are laid PROSTATE annually by proven
tible diseases. and of the number 10000
cases terminate fatally. Such is the
statement of a writer in the Technical
World magazine. He contends that
practically all this slaughter of the in
nocent could be saved by discovery of
the diseases in it's insipiency. 1t is a
fearful price in death and dollars to
pay for neglect of duty to the children.
A boy at Millgrove Ohio, had incip-

ENFORCE THE LAW!

The police regulation which forbids
splitting on sidewalks in this city is
thoroughly we'll understood by all
classes. 1t is placarded in public
places and in street cars. There is no
possible excuse of ignorance on the
part of literate people who ignore the
law. Yet it is constantly violated in
all parts of Walla Walla, and the po-
lice court is never called upon to pass
judgment on the offenders. Why is
this?
The policemen know of the law and
they cannot fail to see it broken hourly
SO fixed is the filthy splitting habit with
some people that they expectorate even
While talking with the officers of the
law. Still, they are not arrested. Rarely
is any one admonished Is this be-
cause the policemen feel it beneath
their dignity to arrest men for such an
Offense? Is there an unwritten law
which fOrbids man in uniform to hale
to court a citizen whose only offense
is that he has spat on the sidewalk?
Those men who are studying tuber-
culosis and trying to find means of
checking its spread have laid empha-
sis on the dangers arising
from public expectoration. Yet
no token of revived interest in the anti
splitting rule on the part of the police
has appeared. What more effective re-
minder of the danger of continued lax
ity is possible?
If the chief of police will detail a
plain-clothes man for special duty to
remind the public of this regulation
there will be unlimited opportunity for
him to make cases as demonstrations
Let him walk any day along one of
the main streets of this city and he will
be able to fill the Jail with violators
within half a dozen blocks An Of
ficer stationed, even in full uniform, at
the corner of Second and Main for an
hour in the afternoon could keep the
desk sergeant busy recording the names
of sidewalk spitters.
It would only require one or two
such demonstrations to remind the pub !
lie sharply of its duty in the premises
and restore the anticipating law to
full vitality. It's up to the chief of
police and the health officer.

THE TARIFF CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.

Let us not exhaust ourselves follow
ing the senate debates. They are very
interesting and demand attention, but
they will not bring matters to a close
After the senate votes, a conference
between the two houses will take place.
and the tariff bill is likely to receive
some important touches then
The vice president will name the con-
ferees on the part of the senate, and
the speaker those on the part of the
house. All republicans and democrats,
will be men of note. Mr.. Aldrich, by
virtue of his position, will head the
senate membership, and Mr.. Payne,
for the same reason, the house men,
bership, of the committee. How long
the committee will sit depends There
is no time allowance. Sittings will
continue until an agreement is reach
ed, and then that agreement must be
reported to the two houses. If either
house rejects the report, the conferees
must reassemble and try again. This
part of the tariff program, therefore.
may be protracted and difficult of ex-
ecution.
Both houses are looking to this con-
ference and preparing for it. Confer
ring about differences means trading,
and trading means margins for nego-
tiations. Each house must have a trad
iEg margin, and both, we may be sure,
will have. Mr.. Aldricn and Mr. Payne
are veteran politicians and lawmakers
and know their business. 1t is not pos
sible in advance to trace these mar
gins, but they will be there, and the
country, even in its most anxious mo-
ments, should not forget it.
Let us save a little of our eagerness
for this conference committee. 1t will
sit behind closed doors, but its deliber-
atoms may on that account be all the
more fully reported. When everybody
is warned against publicity, as in the
case of the executive sessions of tn,
senate, the best reports are obtainable
There is somthing in human natur,
which seems to resent the imposition
Of silence, with the result that the mar
or woman instructed not to talk be-
comes garrulous through sheer asser
ton of individuality. And the NOR
there is TO tell, the greater the temp
tation and the mort certain the disc
bcdence.
