MONUMENT HAS
BEEN nEFACED
cuRlo SEEKERS HAVE CLIPPED
PIECES FROM WHITMAN
MARBLE SHAFT.
Stone Erected at WaiiIatpu in Honor of
Great Missionary Has Been
Desecrated.

Conscienceless vandais and unprinci-
pied curio hunters, by defacing the
monument raised over the graves of
those who died in the Whitman massa-
ere, by chipping off large pieces of the
granite composing the structure, have
perpetrated one of the greatest out
RACES ever heard of i'm this section of
the country and in addition to profan-
ing the memory of the dead and vio-
lating all things sacred. little of the
original symmetry of the shaft re-
mains, owing to the unceasing attacks
of the ruthless marauders. This is not
the first time that the monument has
been desecrated but it was thought
that after sufficient warning had been
given, no other depredations would oc-
cur. Parties of people, visiting the
scene of the massacre would write their
names on the granite until it was COW
cred with an unsightly scrawl. Stu
dents of Whitman college then took
the matter in hand and by the aid of
acids obliterated all traces of the writ
ing It was the thought that this
would prove to be the end but the
latest reports prove otherwise.
Erected at cost exceeding $4,000
through money subscribed by individ-
uals throughout the state of Washing
ton, the monument has been damaged to
an extent that will entail an expendi-
ture of several thousand dollars to
undue. Impious persons, caring Moth
ing for the dishonoring of the brave
pioneers who died in the awful massa-
ere at Waiilatpu have utterly ruined
the monument as far as its appear
ance is concerned. With rocks, and
even by the use of chisels, it would
seem, the corners of the marble base
to the monument and around the edges
have been broken off and the pieces
taken as souvenirs. Probably not in
the history of the state Or nation has
such ruthless dissertation Of a public
monument erected to the memory of
the dead, been witnessed.
Word of the gOulish deed committed
by unknown relic hunters was brought
to Walla Walle yesterday by T. T..
Barnhart and ). M. Rose, members OF
the local carpenters union, visiting the
site of the Whitman massacre, they
were shock ed to find the one time hand
some obelisk marred and defaced. The
marble base had been Clipped off and
in their eagerness and irreverence had
even climbed to where the main shaft
of the monument rises and there brOk-
en- off pieces Of stone.
'"The damage is seemingly irrepar-
rable," said Mr.. Barnhart last evening,
-, Of /, hof
can be repaired to anywhere it's for
mer symmetry is doubtful. 1t is a
CT irne that ought to be ferreted out and

mitted such vandalism made to suffer

DID.
NOT TAKE IT ALL
MONEY STILL LEFT IN HANDS OF
THE FOURTH OF JULY
COMMITTEE.
Some of the People of the City Failed
to Dig Up Their Subscriptions
for Big Event.

After paying all expenses of the 1908
Fourth of July celebration, the commit
tee entrusted with the $2573 fund, have
reported that the sum of $43234 is still
in the treasury, with pledges aggregat-
ing $94.5O still unpaid. The report
which was released Saturday, has been
held up for several months in the hope
that the delinquent subscriptions would
be Forthcoming, but after placing the
collections in the hands of attorneys,
who are unable to collect without a
suit it was decided to make public the
financial standing of last years cele-
bration committee.
A communication addressed to the
board Of directors of the Commercial
club gave in detail the. work of the
various committees in outlining the
work and especially stated how the
work was carried on. This work was
divide into special details each part
being under the direction of some one
qualified to get results and these in
turn were assisted by sub directors.
In the matter of funds the commit
tee called especial attention to the
money given by the saloon interests of
the city. These did very poorly, the
combined donation of nearly SO sa-
looms amounting to less than $500, $50
Of which is still uncollected because
Of the refusal of donors to pay their
subscriptions after they We're made
In addition to the balance turned in
by the committee, there are still var
ious sums outstanding and the pledge
for them having been given, the work
Of collection is entrusted to local at
torneys. 1t is expected that about
1925 will still be paid, leaving on hand
balance of about 1858.
1t was the desire of the committee
to get all the collection before making
any reports but it has done the best
it could under the circumstances. and
feels certain that these various sums
are in such shape that they will come
in very soon
In conclusion the committee desired
to thank the citizens of Walla Walla
and especially the business men for
their cordial support in making the
Fourth Of July celebration of 1908 a
success.
A list of the people who pledged
certain subscriptions and UP to the
present have refused to pay them
are:
