MAY SECURE MIL
|T|A COMP ANY
STATE ADJUTANT
GENERAL WRITES TO COM
MERCIAL CLUB REGARDING
NATIONAL GUARD.

Some two or three days ago the
commercial club received a communi-
cation from Morris Thompson, of the
state adjutant generals office, stat
ing that it was the intention to mus
ter one or two new companies of ma
tional guards in the near future and
asked if Wenatchee caredsato have
one of these companies. THLmatter
was referred to the commercial club
committee consisting of Ira D. Ed
wards. w. H. Halling and W. S.
Trimble. The matterfwas taken up
with the local camp9fS Spanish War
Veterans and this organization well
coined the plan very enthusiastically.
One of the requisites of securing
the company was the eligibility of
someone in the company to act as
captain. F. c. Baker, of this city,
has served a sufficient length of time
in the army and is therefore eligible
to act as captain. The following let
ter was received this morning from
the adjutant generals office:
Il have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your letter of October 80,
and in reply to state that l am very
pleased that your committee is hav-
ing such interest in the securing of
national guard company in the city
of Wenatchee
$50 far as the eligibility of the
man to whom you refer in connec-
tion with the captaincy of this COM
pany. | desire to state that the regu-
lations of the military code seem to
be complied with in his case, as it
is only necessary for him to have
served in the volunteer or regular
army of the United States to be quail
ified to be commissioned.
Il would suggest that an applica-
tion to be mustered into the national
guard of Washington, be circulated
among the young men of your COM
munity and that as soon as you have
obtained so or 100 names to this ap-
plication. that the same be forward
ed to this Office This will enable
the military board to pass Judgment
upon the suitability of your city be-
ing the location of such a company.
We also desire information as to the
possibilities of securing a proper
building for company armory and
request that you let us know what,
if any, halls are available. with their
dimensions and lowest rent that can
be secured upon the basis of a lease.
Il shall be in Wenatchee myself
or shall send a representative of this
department within the next ten days
and would be very pleased to take
the matter up personally with your
committee.
Very respectfully.

GORDON
RAILROAD COMPANY EVIDENTLY
DETERMINED no BLOCK THE
COURTS EFFORTS TO PUNISH
HIM.

Great Northern officials are de-
clared to be making every effort to
have tn Gordon scandal closed up
and, if possible, to avoid the motor
iety of a trial of the nine counts
returned by the Spokane grand jury
in an indictment against the &C
cused.
All the charges against Judge NJ.
J. Gordon are based on a contention
that he is an embezzler from the
Great Northern his former employer
The road will not sustain that charge
and has repeatedly insisted that its
account with Gordon has closed.
From James ]. Hill down through all
departments the road has refused to
aid the Spokane authorities in prose-
cutting Gordon.
The Spokane officials have placed
the Great Northern officers in an en-
barrassing position. President Louis
w. Hill has only visited the state
once since the grand jury began
camping on his trail with a subpoena
and that time he got out of Seattle
just in time to avoid service.
James ]. Hill once appeared before
the Spokane grand jury and tes-
titled, incidentally promising to send
ST. Paul records to the grand jury
Subsequently he sent word that the
directors would not permit records
removed from Minnesota.
w. r. Begg. general counsel for
the Great Northern, repeatedly re-
fused to testify in the Gordon in
quiry and could not be brought to
to the president, appeared before the
grand jury, but was accused of fail
ing to deliver certain papers that he
could have readily turned over. Even
the auditor of the Spokane Falls &
Northern, and Gordon's former stem
ographer, left the state and probably
will remain away until the contro-
versy ends.
1t is an embarrassing situation for
the Great Northern with so many
high officials skipping nimbly about
to avoid service from Spokane and
the higher officials for the road are
growing tired of it. That they will
not testify against Gordon has been
indicated in the roads attitude to-
ward the Spokane grand jury.
In railroad circles it is declared
that the Great Northern has been
bringing a lot of influence to bear to
close up the Gordon scandal and to
do so as quietly as possible. Thus
far no success has met these efforts
and Prosecuting Attorney Fred Pugh.
of Spokane, is out in the woods on a
vacation trip now so he cannot be
reached.
What the attitude of the Spokane
officials will be when it is made more
certain that they cannot have any
help from the Great Northern in the
Gordon trial is problematic. But the
persistence of the prosecuting attor-
ney's office in bringing out a series
of indictments from the grand iury,
despite the roads attitude. would
seem to forecast a determined fight.

'WOMAN'S DUTY IS
IN HOME
EVA BOOTH OF THE SALVATION
ARMY is NOT In FAVOR OF
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE-GREA
EST DUTY is HOME.

Miss Evangeline Booth. command
er of the Salvation Army forces in
the United States does not favor
woman suffrage She declares the
woman's greatest duty is to bring up
the proper kind of men to govern the
world affairs and not to be quibbling
about the ballot.
"A woman's greatest duty after
marriage, is to bring up her children
in the ways of God, and tomake her
boys the proper characters to trust
the management of national or any
political affairs to. Her duty is to
her home, not talking politics.
''She does not need to be shut up
in four walls but she does not need
to enter the political wars. There
may be some doubt about women be-
ing able to occupy Offices now held
by men, but there is no doubt about
the inability of men to take the place
of the mother in the home" said she
recently in Spokane.
Don't ask me if / favor woman s

give you a definite answer. My
opinions are of such a nature that
many would criticise me for whatever
might say, but l can not help MAX
ing an appeal to mothers to look to
the bringing up of their sons.
