that he intended 20 come to New York

That Is Gained.

IN SPITE OF VOTE
City Council May Refuse to

Heads we win, tails you lose" is
the deduction gained from the ex-

discovered in the new Washington To-
cal option law, which provides that
if community votes dry, no liquors
may be sold; also 1t provides that if
a community votes wet" no liquors
may be sold, either. The joker is
thought to have been slipped over
when the i-prohibition forces
We're not looking. and it was not un-
til this week that the situation was
revealed by an investigation in the Of
flee of the attorney general. Just what
effect the joker will have upon the
Walla Walla election, to be held De-
cember 90 is matter of doubt, but in
case it comes to a showdown before
the city council. in accordance with
the new law, it is probable the Ii
censes will be granted in case the
'wets' win the battle.
In recent local option elections in
this state most of the towns have
voted dry, but a few have declared
wet While the law is plain and ex-
plicit that prohibition ensues if the
community votes dry, it provides that
if the vets win licenses may only be
granted under certain restrictions and
provides further that no licenses may
be obtained unless with the approval

Showing but the slightest break in
the calm stoicism which he has dis
Dlayed for So many months, and falter-
ing only once when within sight of the
scaffold. Bud Barnes, the unconfessed
murderer of Mrs. Anna Aldrich went
to his death at sunrise this morning
with step that was only made weak
from lack of exercise. From the mo-

Jones who accompanied him on the last

gaze however, and did not look up
until tn. platform Of the scaffold had
been reached On the bottom step he
faltered only an instant but with the
assistance of Father Jones who held
his arm, ne was abe to go through
the ordeal bravely.

walls and then to the small knot OF
