MADE A BIG HIT.
A Speech That HanIan, the Carsman,
Delivered In England.

I
Delivered In England.
Edward Hanlan, once champion oars
man of the world related a good story
of how he delivered speech after
winning his second race in England.
His first victory had found him Unpre-
pared He was, ready for his second
with a speech composed fer him by
newspaper friend neatly copied out on
paper AND stored away for use in his
coat pocket.
When the crowd outside the club
house insisted upon seeing and hear
ing the winner he was helped out upon
window ledge by his friends and
held there by the coattails and the
legs The crowd cheered him wildly.
He was too confused to speak. They
cheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture Of helplessness and
moved his lips in some inaudible num-
bic of apology for his inability to de-
liver a speech. They could not hear on
account Of the noise that they were
themselves making, but they encour-
aged him with generous applause. lie
saw his escape and proceeded to
shake his head and work his lips in a
fine frenzy of oratory, gesticulating
elouuently and smiling his thanks. The
noisy and good natured crowd cheered
him to the echo, and his friends drew
him in from his precarious position on
the window ledge.
You carried that crowd along in
style" they congratulated him. ''What
did you say? We couldn't hear you
"Yes. Give us an idea of your Speech
the reporters put in, drawing out their
notebooks.
Hanlan took the manuscript from

CHIEF STORY SITS ON LID
Three ColOred Women Arrested in
Raid and Other Disorderlies Motif
fed to Leave by Monday.

The lid is on tight hereafter in
North Yakima for Chief Story will
henceforth enforce the law according
to its Interpretation by the city at
torney and the council instead of
Mayor Armbruster. This policy is the
outgrowth of a resolution passed at
the last meeting of the council when
Councilman Miller submitted an opin-
ion from City Attorney Allen to the
effect that the mayor was without
power to direct the enforcement Of
certain laws and the disregard of
others.
The resolution adopted by almost a
unanimous vote put the matter up to
the chief Of police and rather than
have the responsibility for the nom
enforcement of law rest on his shoul-
ders, Chief Story has inaugurated q
'thorough cleaning out of all disorderly
and disreputable houses and places in
the city and the arrest of their inmates
who will be fined and given their walk
ing papers. In a raid Saturday night
three colored women were rounded up
and the inmates Of other much talked
of resorts in the city were notified to
leave before Monday night.

NO CHANGES
IN POLICIES
OF {. \. HARTMAN INTERESTS
j. p. Morgan Crowd not Represented
on Reconstructed Board of
Union Pacific.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Continu-
ance of the Hartman policies in the
management of the Union Pacific and
the chain of allied roads was made
certain today, temporarily at least,
when Robert S. Lovett, E. H. Harri-
mans personal counsel and close per-
sonal friend, was elected to succeed
Hartman as head of the Union Pacific
strengthen the dominance of the "Har-
riman idea" Jacob H. Schiff and
William Rockefeller were elected d.
rectors in place of Hartman and the
late H. H. Rogers, and were chosen
to places on the executive committee.
The Union Pacific remains without a
president 1t is understood, however,
that L. F. Loree, president of the
Delaware & Hudson, will be elected by
the stockholders. Proxies for this
meeting are already in the hands of
Judge Lovett and Alex. Miller, secre-
tary of the Union Pacific, and seem to
guarantee that the election will be
dictated by Hartman interests. The
Southern Pacific directors will meet
tomorrow. 1t is taken for granted
that their action is forecasted by to-
days meeting. Wall street mani
tested more than usual interest in the
election in view of the rumors that a
member of j. P. Morgan & Company
would be elected to the Union Pacific
board.
The election of what in the parlance
of the Street" is the 'Kuhn-Loeb"
Standard Oil board, and the failure of
the Morgan interests to gain place
on the reconstructed board was a sur
prise to Wall street. 1t is pointed out,
however, that possibly the Morgan in
terests. fearing disastrous results, are
waiting for the regular annual meet
ing in October.

CHANCE FOR WOMEN
TO ASSIST OTHERS
Capt. Jenkins of the Salvation Army
Can Make Excellent Use OF an
Auxiliary.

Capt. Jenkins, of the Salvation
Army, Is anxious for the form alton
of wOmen's. auxiliary to his work.
He doesn't require that the auxiliary
shall be affiliated with the Salvation
Army, but he feels the need OF a body
of women on whom he can call in
many case OF restitution and of sick
ness which comes to his attention In
deed, 1t is easier to get dollars in
Yakima than personal assistance, no
says. If a really needy case comes to
his attention, il is quite possible for
him to call upon the merchants and
get financial assistance, but if it Is n
case of sickness requiring nurse,
with the dearth OF female labor here.
il Is not at all certain that ne could
hire a nurse or helper even " he had
the money to pay her.
A band of women with some spirit
of self-sacrifice could be OF inestim-
able help to him in his work he be-
lieves. Mrs. Jenkins and the other
women OF the corps can by no means
do it all. 1t is not the need Of raising
m ney, but Of giving help, encourage
men and sympathy and giving II per-
sonally which leads him to hope for
the formation of such an auxiliary.
As proof that Yakima women can
find something to do here, Capt. Jen-
kins points out that in the case of a
family in trouble and destitution on
the west side few days ago IL was
California woman, here on visit,
who postponed her return home near
ly week, in order to help a sick
woman and her children to be COM

Talked on the West.
Professor Edward McMahon's talk
at the morning session yesterday on
the west and things western proved
one of the most enjoyable of the pro-
gram. He traced the gradual move
ment westward, from New England ia
Ohio, to the middle west and on to the
westward movement of today which is
peOpling Washington, Oregon and the
other states of the Pacific northwest
He told Of a conversation with Carl
Schurz in which he asked the great
German how he thought democracy
would work out in this country
Schurz said that democracy would
work well so long as there was free
land left to which the malcOntents
might migrate. After that, he didn't
know. Professor Mcmahon touched on
the PinchOt Ballinger controversy
when he spoke of the preservation of
some of the public land for the coming
generation. 1t should not be all an
nexed by power trusts and corpora
tons. he said, before the youngster of
today had chance at some of it.
As a State of Mind.
He dealt also with the west as a
state of mind. The boys of the Ia
coma high school, he said, raised
100000 for a stadium. 1t is not ex-
actly a usual undertaking for high
school boys, but the Tacoma students
undertook and accomplished it as a
matter of course, keeping on at their
Latin and mathematics, quite as II
they had accomplished nothing I'M
usual.
A Seattle spirit story brought out a
hearty laugh.
you ought to see Seattle" said a
native of that city to a stranger whom
he met in one Of the inland towns.
Yes l have seen Seattle" was the
answer. 81 was over there last week"
Yes, but you ought to see Seattle
now" said the Seattle man.
Meet Time Unpopular.
At the afternoon session Professor
Lull gave an address and Professor
Mcmahon and Miss Jennie Housley
spoke at section meetings. In order
to close the institute so as to leave Sat
urday vacant. the Friday afternoon
session will be prolonged and there
will be an evening meeting.
1t is unlikely that a teachers in
stitute will again be held at the open
ing of the school year. The law ma
king 1t compulsory has been repealed.
On the county teachers. in many cases,
it has worked real hardship, since,
while their schools do not open per-
haps, for several weeks yet. it has been
necessary for them to return from
their vacations many days ahead of
time in order to be present at the in
stitute.

PROMISE HELP.
TO APPLE SHOW
INCLUDING DISTRICT DISPLAY
/; Secretary Manager Rem II. Rice Meets
With a Hearty Reception at the
Commercial Club.

A conference was held last night
at the Commercial club with Rem H.
tsrice, secretary-manager of the Ma
4 tional Apple show several Of the trus-
tees taking occasion to assure Mr..
fRice that Yakima would be strongly
represented at the second apple show
which will be held in Spokane, Novem-
her rs to 20.
Mr.. Rice explained at some length
the plans for the big show, telling the
J trustees that building covering three
and one half acres of ground would be
prepared; that no charge would be
made for exhibit space; free cold stors
age would be given on all exhibits up
!. to the carload classes; that all prize
moneys would be paid on the last day
:. Of the show and that the big project
had been fully guaranteed from a
financial standpoint.
:, Carload Competitions.
The Commercial club promised a
fine exhibit in the district display con-
= test in addition to inducing a num-
Der of growers to enter in the car
load competitions. These carload COM
: petitions will be the great commercial
feature of the show. there being ten
separate contests on varieties In
! straight carloads for $3.50 first money
in each contest, all carloads to COM
pete for the sweepstakes prize which
. is $1,000 first money; $500 second
money and carries with it the cham
'pionship of the world.
: May Combine Classes.
On account of the heavily reduced
apple crop in the northwest this year
= some doubt prevails as to whether
straight carloads of Wagners and De-
licious can be secured in sufficient
numbers to make these two contests
representative. Mr.. Rice said that re-
) ports which had reached the apple
show from other sections of the
northwest indicated a very short crop
in both of these varieties. 1t was
suggested that the apple show trus-
tees could improve the competitions
by allowing mixed carloads of Delic-
! ions and Grimes Golden in one event
= and Wagners and Arkansas Blacks in
Nhe other.
Help Is Promised.
4 Mr. Rice promised to get the senti-
!, ment of other apple growing sections
y on this point and of there was general
acouiescence to the plan he would
.~suggest the change to the trustees of
khe National Apple show. The other
varieties upon which there will be
spirited competitions in straight car
loads are Winesaps, Rome Beauties,
-Epitzenbergs, Yellow Newtons, Canes
Ionathans, Mcintosh Reds and one
