Casey Again
In Hospital

f. L. Casey. the young man who last
summer suffered terrible injuries by
falling in a concrete mixer while in
the employ of the Barber Asphalt
company, which was doing street work
for the city, was taken to the Walla
Walla hospital last night, suffering
with appendicitis. It was necessary to
perform an operation and this was
done by Dr. II. r KeylOr. When COM
municated with today. DR.. Keylor stat
ed that Casey stood the operation
nicely and entertains bright hopes for
his rapid recovery.
Last summer he was horribly man
Sed by falling in concrete mixer.
His body and legs were ground almost
to pulp, but with courage which can
be hardly estimated. he refused to
have his legs amputated. He had faith
that he would live and the doctors
put him in a plaster of Paris cast, be-
Aeying that this was the only hope for
his life. For months Casey has re-
NAMED in this cast. He has recently
improved so that he was able to get
about on Crutches, when appendicitis
set in.
Until his removal to the hospital,
casey has been staying at the home OF
MS brother, north of the city.

MURDERER
ARRESTED

Believing the police of this city had
captured the murderer of Pat Cava-
naugh in Pasco on the night of Fri
day, November 5, Deputy Sheriff Shelf
field, of Franklin county, came to Wal
la Walla last night and left this morn
ing in charge of John Mathews, who
was arrested Christmas day by Of
ficer Tom Doyle on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. Mathews, say those
who were acqutinted with McCabe,
very much resembles the man who
slashed Cavanaugh's throat in Gros-
miller's saloon last month, and he was
taken to Pasco for Identification.
Mathews had been drinking prior to
his arrest Christmas, and was not in
his right frame of mind when arrest
ed. The officers are inclined to scout
the belief that he is the Passed. murder
er, but yielded to the desire of Frank
lin county authorities to have i1im TAX
en- there to be Identified.
Not the Man
That the Pasco authorities are on
the wrong trail was proven after Ma
thews was taken from the city this
morning, when ]. w Jones manager of
the Osborne ranch, near town, appear
ed at police headquarters and inquired
for Mathews. Mr.. Jones was authority
for the statement that the man had
worked on the Osborne ranch since
October Is, and had not been off
the place from that date until Dec
ember "a, when he came to Wara Wal
la. To have been in Pasco on the
night of November 5 and committed
the crime in question, is a physical
lmpossibility, and even tho,vh he tai
lies with the description of McCabe,
Mr.. Jones' statements and proofs will
result in clearing Mathews, who is we'll
known in this city. having been sta
toned at Fort Wara Wara at one
time

WHEN A PROMISE
 IS NOT A PROMISE
When It Is a "DeclaratiOn'
 By Mayor Lee.

Nicholas IF. Byrnes, business agent for the Bricklayers', Plasterers' and Stonemastons' unions, of this city. said this morning that he did not care to discuss the question of whether Mayor Lee made any promises to his organi- zation prior to last election. Person ally he thought the incident was closed but he did not know whether the or ganizations he represented would care to taI~ or not.
 Mayor Lee, who said yesterday he would give S1 coo to anyone who would prove that he made a promise before his election, told a reporter this morn ing that She had told the union men that if they would get an ordinance passed creating the office of assistant building inspector he would appoint whoever the Central Labor Union would recommend. He would not say whether he made this promise before or after election.
 It came about that the office was created, but the ordinance was framed so that the place was filled by the votes of the aldermen. It was a tie union man and the mayor broke the tie in favor of the non-unionist.
 The mayor said yesterday that there were may things one might conStrue as a promise, for instance, 'I might say that I would appoint George E. Hill president of the police board if I was elected. That would not be promise but I would simply make that statement because I believed he was the man for the place.. It would not be a pledge but a declaration"

C.. A. R. VETERANS
 AT CAMP GROUNDS
Special from United Press.)

Plainville Camp Grounds. July 29.- Ideal weather resulted in a large at tendance at the annual gathering of the G. A. R. veterans held here to- day.

AT PISTOL POINT DEATH NAMED FOR
 'COSTA'S PORTION
Brothers Who Knifed Mes
 sano Held in Small Bonds for Superior Court
BROTHER NEAR SLAVE

Testifying that he had been forced to his knees and threatened with death at the point of a revolver, Angelo Cos ta told with dramatic emphasis in the city court this morning how he came to stab Gerloramo Messano on last Monday night. Judge Foster inter rupted him in his recital and said that there had been sufficient evidence 1n- troduced to cause the accused broth CTS to be bound over to the next term of the Superior court, and added that because the testimony of the complain ing witness, MesSano, was so diamet- -rically contradictory to that of An gelo Costa he would fix the bonds at a figure sufficiently low for the accused to obtain a bondsman. Angelo Costa will have to post $250 in order to secure his freedom until next September. The younger brother Luigfs bond was named as $100, there being some ques- ton as to his actual connection with the crime. Attorney Louis Petrucell1 at first objected to the abrupt con- clusion of the hearing, saying that he wished to place Luigi on the stand, as he could produce evidence that would warrant the Judge in discharging him. Judge Foster replied that there had been enough testimony given for him to find probab cause and told Att torney Petrucelli that the evidence that he wished to produce might best be presented to the jury at the trial proper in September.
 A younger Step-brother of the Cos ta's is the cause of the trouble which has been brewing for some time. The Costa family are evidently bad lot, the older brothers having forced the step-brother, Salvatori to do all the hard work about the home, while they sat back and enjoyed life as they un- derstand it They show no flial de- votion towards their mother, who has often been forced to leave home in fear and seek refuge among her neigh borS- Salvatori, some time ago ran away, and came to live in the same boarding house with Messano, who be- interest in him after he had heard the boys story of what hardships he had to endure at the Costa home.
 Last Monday night Angelo and Luigi Costa set out with the determin- ation to force Messano to cease exert wished him to return home and drudge for them as he had formerly. The Costa brothers met Messano and told him what they wanted. Messano re- piled that he would give them and the other members of the Costa family days to get out of this city and if at the end of that time they were still in the city he would cause them ''to disap- pear like smoke,'' as Angelo testified today. As Messanc made this threat he drew a revolver and forced Angelo Costa to his knees. Costa begged to consented to in the end, and when Cos ta arose the two grapple7 again, and in the struggle Angelo Costa drew a small knife and slashed the chin of Messano. Luigis part in the quarrel is rather obscure, his brother claiming just as emphatically stating that he was.

BLOW IN FACE
 GREETS MABREY
 WEDDING GUEST
Strange Confusion Arose Because Bride and Groom Would Steal Away-E. P. Sanford Punched.

Redding, July 29-The high contract ing parties to the Mabrey-Barnes we'd ding on the Ridge last Thursday plan ned to take their departure from the reception by the dodge process. D. M. Bradley had placed at their disposal himself and auto for the first stage of the honeymoon trip to Bridgeport, the ultimate destination being Block Island. Their trunk was Surrept1- tiously loaded on and at what they MT. and Mrs. Mabrey faded from the parlors by a rear way to make strat- egic connection with the waiting car. They had previously dispatched two suits cases by a trusty friend. Just to enliven and comDlicate matters the trusty friend deposited the baggage in Theron PlattS car The shifting or It brought on a crisis picturesque Tn elements of the unexpected. B. P. Sanford grabbed one case from the Platt car and being in league with the festive coterie who had schemed to shower the departing couple with con- fetti, rice and such things and to dec crate the car with old shoes, placards and such things, and who therefore wanted delay, he started off in the wrong direction Another guest who was out of sympathy with the move, objected and followed his remonstrance by a. blow in the face. It may have been meant for a gesture or a push, but if so the nerve wires conveying

LITTAUER WEALTHY
 AND GOOD FELLOW
So Has Tremendous Infu- ence with Conferees in
 Framing Tariff Bill
BUT TAFT PUT FOOT DOWN

Washington, July 29,.-The most ex- traordinary of the many peculiar things in connection with the framing of the tariff bill is the tremendous in fluence wielded by former Congress- man Lucius Nathan Littauer of Glow ersville, N. Y. He is a manufacturer of gloves as his father was before him. He is also wealthy, and is a good fel- low' With those qualifications, he came to Washington at the beginning of the present special session with the on woman's gloves to such an extent that foreign makes would be excluded from this country except at prohiblt1ve prices, leaving himself in control of the American market, he being the largest manufacturers.
 The new rates that he suggested were increases of 100 per cent. and moreover existing law let him come near getting them He even has hao the Vice President running to the White House as messenger when it be- came apparent that President Taft would not stand for the increases Though closed to the House conferees, Littauer has actually been given ac- cess to the conference room when the glove matter came up, and this pr1v1l- ege has been denied to other manu- lecturers. Only yesterday when the conference committee was in the last throes of it's Iabors Littauer obtained admission to put in a final word in behalf of his industry. This was too much for representatives of the large Chicago importers. They sent word to Representative BouteH, the Illinois member of the committee, that they wanted to see him. Then, in the cor ridor in loud and stringent voices, they declared that if Littauer was to be given the opportunity to urge his argu- ments upon the committee in favor Of the higher rates, they would demand equal facility to present theirs in op- position thereto. They made such a fuss and were so much in earnest that the committee finally gave them hearing.
 In exclamation of the remarkable in fluence wielded by the former New York Congressman it is stated he is credited with having secured the larg- est number of votes in the committee which raised the salaries of Congress- men, He also came to the assistance of his former colleagues and fought over the House rules at the opening of the present session and made the cleo tion of Speaker Cannon sure. That carried with it Representative Payne s reppointment as chairman of the Ways and Means committees Then, too, it is claimed that he was largely respon- sible for the nominatfdn of MT. Sher- man on account of his old acqualnt- ances among the committee.
 President Taft, however, Is credited with having declared in effect that he did not mind having a particular schedule arranged in behalf of a sim gle State or even in behalf of a sim gle Senator, but he did object to hav- ing it fixed to suit the views and in he put his foot down and Littauer lost
