MARATHON RACE AT SPOKANE.
Big Race viii BE Pulled Off During
Irrigation Congress Meeting.

Spokane.-Spokane will get its first
glimpse OF a real big Marathon race
outdoors, with men of international
fame as competitors, during the irri-
CATION congress next month.
Such stars as Tom Longboat, the
Indian; Johnny Hayes, Svanberg of
Sweden and perhaps two or three
of the great Indian runners will be
here from the east. The west will
put against the crack easterners such
men as John Marsh, who won the
Tacoma and Winnipeg Marthons;
Will Chandler, the Vancouver Won
der, who won the Seattle Marathon
last winter and others.
Two thousand dollars will be the
amount of money hung up for pri-
yes. The promoters have not decided
how it will be cut, that Of course, de-
pending upon the number of men
who give reasonable assurance of en-
terlng.
The promoters are ]. ID. Williams,
for several years connected with the
theatrical business in various north
western cities, and e. G. Sherman,
formerly of Chicago.
Mr.. Williams has been working the
big race up for several weeks. cor
responding with the famous runners.
He has secured the Interstate Fair
grounds for one day during the gath
date to be announced later.
Messrs. Williams and Sherman are
taking advantage Of the big national
Martohon race to be run in Seattle
late in July. which will attract the
eastern cracks to the northwest. The
town will also be full of visitors or
this occasion. and special excursions
will probably draw hundreds from the
nearly inland empire towns.

Roston.-"If these are human be-
ings on Mars, then l have no DOUBT
they have been sending messages lot
years and are still wondering at our
stupidity in not replying.
"I hope to intercept these messages
and in this way, solve all the myste-
ries of the human race"
Thus spoke Professor David Todd
the widely known astronomer Of Am
herst college, in outlining his daring
project for establishing communica-
ton with the planet Mars.
AT the risk of their lives, the Am
herst professor and his companion the
celebrated balloonist, Leo Stevens, will
. ascend into regions at height OF ten
miles. a distance as yet undreamed
of by the boldest aeronauts.
One of Largest Balloons.
Professor Todd makes no hesitation
in asserting his belief that the people
of Mars, II there are any, can and
will solve the mysteries Of the origin
of consciousness, of whether the dis
embodied spirits reassume physician
shapes in another planet, Of the doc
trine of evolution, the manner In
which they originated and the possi-
bilities of sustaining the average life
of human beings for thousands OF
years.
The trip, which is now planned to
occur in September, when the planet
is at its nearest point to the earth,
will require an outlay Of $4,000 for
the equipment Of one Of the largest
balloons in the country and the cost
of a special physiological preparation
by both the aeronaut and the sci
entists, that both may safely with
stand the extreme ratification of the
high altitude.
To Use Oxygen Tanks.
Professor and Mr.. Stevens will un-
dergo a process Of treatment discov-
cred by the scientists while making
experiments in the high attitudes in
South America, whereby both, after
a months time will be enabled to live
with the least possible amount Of air
The professor and his companion
will each be shut up in a separate
air-tight tank, or cylinder shaped
structure, fitted with glass bottom
and windows on all sides and me-
chanical contrivance for utilizing oxy'
gen from the outside when it is need
ed. The ascension will be made
straight upward for a distance o.
about ten miles, the vertical direc'
ton of the ascent being manipulated
by three very fine, but strong wires
the lower ends Of which will be un'
coiled from three separate stations
so located that each will form ar

close-range view of the entire en-
pire-almost as big as all New Eng
land-now entirely innocent of rail-
roads.
Stevens made a number of side
trips out of Portland, besides the
more extensive one through central
Oregon which was, as stated, the most
comprehensive and exhaustive. But IN
each instance he chose an itinerary
which would indicate his deep inter-
est in what Hartman is or is not
doing in other parts of the state. He
made a trip to Tillamook. He went
over the Corvallis & Eastern, and is
supposed to have visited the Coos
Bay country, although more of his
attention was directed to the upper
coast region of oregon.
Confers With Officials.
During his stay in Portland, Mr.
Stevens was in frequent conference

prominent Portlanders closely iden-

Engineer Bethel, in charge of Ore
gon Trunk location work. was also
called into conference with Stevens
and Shannon. But you can't get a
word out of any of these people. Some
of them admit they know a man
named Sampson, but they never heard
of Stevens.
The future of the Oregon empire
as a prospective battle-ground between
Hill and Hartman looks brighter as
result of Stevens present visit And
the fate of the vast and dormant re-
gion will depend in a large measure
upon the nature of John f. Stevens

DETECTIVES GUARD
AT CHINESE BANQUET

New York.-The great all-night
banquet of the Hip Sing tong came
to a close after daylight this morn
ing without precipitatlng a much
dreaded tong war in Chinatown, and
the police are feeling easier. The
banquet started at o'clock Sunday
evening and continued throughout the
whole night, including more than 40
courses and a two hours jaunt across
the street to the Chinese theater. I'm
usual precautions were taken by the
police to prevent hostilities. Since
the conviction of several Chinese at
Boston recently war In New York's
Chinatown had been anticipated. The
police understood that the Ong Le-
onw tong considered the banquet last
night to be a choice occasion to fall
upon the Hip Sings. Every Hip Sing
man was searched for weapons be-
fore he was admitted to the banquet
room, and during the long feast the
room contained a number of heavily
armed detectives. On the street there
were many more policemen. A meet
ing Of the Ong Leong tong a short
distance from the Hip Sing banquet
hall was closely watched all night
and every Chinese was searched fol
weapons.
AS a result of the police activity
since the murder of Elsie Sigel the
population of Chinatown has decreas-
ed to about 1000 orientals, according
to census made by the police. This
great falling off in the population OF
the district is attributed to the feaI
Of Chinese that they might be i'm
plicated. Many have gone to cities
throughout the west, and the Chinese
living in cities adjacent to New York
City have abandoned their practice OF
spening Sundays and holidays in Chi
natOWn.

WANTS HOUSE WIVES
PUT ON A SALARY

Berkeley, Cal.-That partial So
luton Of the problem arising from
the entry Of women into business life
may be found in system providing
payment for housewives for domestic
service rendered, is the opinion of
Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, instructor of
chemistry at the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology.
During the course of lecture be-
fore students of the University OF
California summer school, Mrs. Rich
ards said.
1--WE must come to a correct valu-
alton of the work done by women in
the home. 1t is because no economic
value has been placed on this work
that women have turned to vocations
that bring recompense. Women do
not seek environments other than the
home because they are more pleas
ant; on the contrary, they take up oc-
cupations less agreeable because in
them their efforts are appreciated
and rewarded"

The Jefferson county grand jury made it's final report Friday after noon, and it was one of the most sensati onal ever filed ill the circuit court here. The jurors, ten of them, put themselves on record as being in favor of licensing bawdy houses and gambling houses, declaring that it was for the best interests of the city, in that it increased it's revenues. Six of the jurors refused to sign the re- port because of this and other fea- lures being included. The grand jury scored local police and county of- ficials for their failure to properly enforce the law. and referred the mat ter of regulating existing evils to the police offic ials, rather than have the public expect the grand juries in this county to abate open violations.
 The inquisi.orial body informed Judge Grace that although a thorough examination of witnesses, both offi- cers and citizens, had been made, sufficient evidence could not be se- cured to warrant the indictment nf any one of the three hundred men who, lynched Lovette Davis, a negro, ih this city a few weeks ago
 Many eonstables were reported for being delinquent with the county. It is understood that several of the grand jurors made an effort to re- turn indictments against several county officials. but failed. The grand jury charges that four former county treasurers, R. T. Kendall. J. Y. Saunders, deceased; Jesse R Core and John H. Shelby, the pres ent county clerk, are indebted to the county in the sum of $6,25S .52. It is alleged that they collected fonr per cent on the first 5 0OO paid into their office and two per cent on each additional thousand. The grand jury holds that under the law the treas urer is entitled to only ? per cent for sums exceeding $l.000. It j; charged in exhibits, in which it IS shown that various fees were collect ed by the former treasurers, that fees were collected twice for the same school funds paid into the treas urer's, office The grand jurors say that the fees were taken by a retir- ing county treasurer and when the money was turned over to a success the latter would collect the same fee again on the same funds. Hun dreds of fees. collected illegally, il
 is alleged. are listed during tht terms of the various treasurers.
 s The grand jury reported that it eN- amined the reports of former Treas 2 urer Core and that because of the fact that no vouchers of receipts ol
