JEALOUS AFFINITY
JA|LS BIG GANG
Leader of the Robbers Tries to Carry
On an Affair With Two
Charmers.

SEATTLE, July 19.-Through the
jealousy of a woman the police have
been able to capture the members Of
gang of criminals who. they believe.
have been Systematically robbing
houses in Seattle, Vancouver, b. c.,
Portland, Ore, and Tacoma. II. G.
Moore. who. the police say, is an ex-
convict from San Francisco, is the al
legged leader of the gang. The police
profess to have a complete confession
from Moore. Others arrested as mem
bers of the gang are Claude Payne,
Steve Adams and a woman giving the
name of Mrs. o. NJ. Slayter. 1t was
owing to her jealousy of Mrs. Slayer
that another woman, upon whom
Moore had been lavishing his affee-
tons told the police of the operations
that resulted in his arrest and the cap
ture of his accomplices.
Claude Payne is ID young man who
says he has made a living as a pick
pocket and has been Moore's assistant
in several jobs. He is held as an ac-
complete. Steve Adams, who was for
merly a railroad employe, assisted in
disposing of the mass of stolen goods
the police say.
Five diamonds, many watches, jew
elry, a dozen or more rings, cutlery
silver and other articles have already
been recovered.
Moore came here with Mrs. Slayter
and the other two members of his
gang, he says, and started on cam
paign of burglary.
He finally ceased lavishing money
on Mrs. Slayter and met the woman
who was his downfall. She basked in
the sunshine of his smiles for awhile,
but then the green-eyed monster APP
reared.

Float Committee Repnr1s.

II. p. James from the committee on
floats reported that designs have not
been received from Spokane as vet.
One design, sent forward by ]. H.
Hughes publicity agent of the con-
gress was shown. 1t represented a
float on which were huge apple, and
a pear and peach of smaller dimen-
sions fianking it. With these was wo-
ven some sort of a design. Mr.. James
said that the idea had at once been
rejected. If a float of that kind was
to be entered from Yakima county
the proper way to do it, he said, was
to decorate it with the real products
of the soil from this county, to make
it the real thing and not an imitation.
Pennant Is Adopted.
J. l.. Hughes from the committee on
badges reported in favor of a pennant
bearing the word Yakima" He
showed how this was distinctive neat.
simple and effective. The idea he ad-
vanced was accepted but in the inter-
ests of other sections of this county
and of Benton and other parts of the
valley it was decided to have the ban
ners prepared bearing the words
yakima Valley" The matter of let
tering, design. etc. was left to w. o.
Bradbury who is to supply the en-
blems. His action was taken after
address by Messrs. Hughes. James.
Hunt Gull, Andrews, Dr. Pratt and
others.
Following up an agitation started by
Fritz Miller in favor of a buster uni
form for the Yakima valley contin-
gent it was decided to ask each dele
gate to carry such a garment with him
to be worn when the valley contin-
gent takes a part on the parade.
1t was finally decided to proceed
with the perfecting of arrangements
for large representation at the con-
gress, cooperating with the other
towns which, through the Commercial
club, are preparing to see that this
section is largely represented

the Northern Pacific railroad. Mr..
Hill also called attention to the intend

buyers. Because if the fact that they
will remain here for several hours
it was declared by the secretary of
the commercial club that that organ
izaton would be able to take care of

garding the disposition of the Pomona
Heights property owners dispute with
the reclamation service. Mr.. Thran
stated that a conference was granted
them and that Secretary Ballinger re-
marked. 1T is evidently your purpose
not to let this matter rest until II Is
settled" but he smiled when he said
it and the Pomona people are expect
ing that some amicable urrangenen,
will be reached when Secretary Bal
linger arrives, having given them an
assurance that he would be here the
first week in August.
Thrall Kept at IL.
Ever since the controversy with the
reclamation service and Clark
O'Bryan arose last winter. when the
property owners placed their anairs
in the hands of Messrs Thrall ana
Grady, these two young men have
worked necessarily to secure an annie
able settlement of the difficulty They
have bombarded the interior depart
ment with letters and Mr.. Thrall Is
now confidenF that their very persist
ency has had its effect. While the
secretary would not make any state
ment as to his decision, there was
something in his demeanor which
gave the young men ground for hope
fulness and they are awaiting his ar
rival with anticipation.
Besides the Pomona property own
ers' claim there are several other
matters of public import which will
engage Secretary Ballingers attention

BalIingcr Is Interested.
AS has been pointed out in the
Herald the Yakima project by the
nature of things ought to be the
closest to Secretary Ballingers heart
of any of tn exclamation projects.
He is a Washington man. and his in
terests are in Seattle, the future great
ness of which depends in a measure
upon the development of the Yakima
country. Yakima already has three
quarters of all the irrigated land in
the state, and this development is
barely begun. Those high up in po-
litical circles in the state intimate
that Yakima will not be acting I'M
wisely If she misses no opportunity to
impress upon Secretary Ballinger the
importance of loyalty to home indus
tries In other words. this is a case
where persistency may win out in
politics.

SAYS TETON
WILL CONTINUE
BUMPING DAM IS DELAYED
Chief Engineer Davis Reports Favor
ably on the Work and Says IL
. VIII BE Carried To Completion.

Its policy with reference to recIa-
nation work i'm the Yakima valley
will be made known by the interior
department in Portland July 81, when
Secretary Ballinger will meet the or
ticials i'm conference there. Mr..
Ballinger will himself be i'm North
Yakima about August to make a
hurried inspection of the work In this
valley before he goes to Spokane.
where he is to be a speaker at the Ma
tional Irrigation congress, at which
there is to be a very large Yakima
valley delegation.
Preliminary to his meeting with
Secretary Ballinger at Portland Chief
Engineer A. =. Davis of the United
States reclamation service has been
making an inspection of the work i'm
progress in this section. From North
Yakima he will go to Lake Kaches,
where he will investigate the Gondi-
lions there preliminary to a contract
which will probably be let this fall for
work there along the lines of storage.
Must Complete Work Here.
Mr.. Davis says that the work in
Yakima will continue without abate-
ment. 1t has to be completed, he
says, both as an investment and as
fultillment to promise II will not
be possible for the work of lateral
construction to be carried on under n
cooperative system. The law specific
ally declares that payments for water
must be in lawful money OF the
country, which rules our certificates.
Some conditions not foreseen have
made the work at Dumping Lake In
the construction of a dam more
tedious process than had been antici-
pated and it has become apparent that
that work cannot be finished this fall
deeper and heavier dam became
necessasy than had been planned
when the character vf the bottom was
shown by the behring's Because or
this fact it is impossible to finish the
work this fall and therefore the extra
effort of keeping a big force at the
task will not be made. A very large
force is an emergency proposition I'M
der such conditions as exist at Bump
ing Lake. The government has had
$50 men there. None are being dis
missed, but as the men retire vOlun-
tarily their places are not filled and
run down to 200 or Whereabouts.
Well Pleased With Yakima.
Some of the land under the Teton,
according to Mr.. Davis. will receive
water this fall, but how moch it is i'm
possible to tell. He is convinced, how
ever, that the water will be delivered
over a portion of the land. The water
was turned through part of the
canal Sunday and carried to the first
spillway, where it drops hundred
feet or so to the river again.
Your Yakima country has certain
ly developed great deal" said Mr.
Davis 81 was first here some 3 years
ago and at that time saw considerable
of the country. OF course since then
have been here number of times
and have seen a great deal of your
growth. You have a fine country ana
your people are right in being proud
of it,"

North Yakima that Secretary Richard

on August or and that at that
time he will take up the matters of
public import which have confronted

such disposition of them as seems
best. The source of this information

clearly defined at the earliest practical
bic date.
TRAINING THE ISLANDERS.
1t means for the inhabitants of the
insular possessions the maintenance Of
loctl self-government as a prepara-
tion for future insular self-government
and the complete development of an
Anglo"SaXon system of courts and
procedure. And it means for all, North
American Indians, native races of Alas
ka, Porto Ricans, Hawaiians and Fill
pinos, the vigorous prosecution and
| condign punishment of all men en-
gagged in lawless endeavors to deprive
the people of their public or private
property, the establishment by law Of
efficient police regulations to safe
guard the people against the vices Of
civilization, adequate sanitary measures
for the protection of the peoples
health, an adequate system of educa-
tion for their mental and moral de-
velopment, and the improvement of
their industries by providing industrial
training, developing their resources and
promoting easy access to profitable
markets.
FINALLY, it means securing we'll paid

proved capacity to represent the ma.
ton in it's work for the betterment ol
these peoples. 1t does not necessarily
mean either eventual statehood OF
eventual independence for our island

ernment under American protection

But, whatever relationship may be es-
tablished between America and her in
sular possessions in the future, just

Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Mohonk
platform were the themes under re-

The speakers at the morning session
who discussed the present and future
of Porto Rico were Major General
George w. Davis, U. S. A., formerly
governor of Porto Rico, and later gov
ernor of the Panama Canal Zone; Regis
H. Post, ex-governor of Porto Rico;
William S. Willoughby, president of
the executive council; Charles Hartzell,
formerly secretary of state, and Caye-
tano Coll Cuchi of San Juan, mem.
bers of the Porto Rican house of dele

The platform, describing the aims
presented:
OBLIGATIONS TO THE FILIPINOS.
At last evenings sessios of the con-
ference DR.. ]. D. Burks, director of the
Philadelphia bureau of municipal re-
search who has recently spent six
months in the Philippines, acted as
spokesman for the dissenters. He de-
clared that the Filipinos are pleased
and satisfied with American control.
Explaining that he went to the archi-
pelago as a commissioner of the United
States to study the development of the
school system there, he continued In
answer to Representative Driscolls S ad-
dress:
"The nation will not have discharged
the obligation which it deliberately
took upon itself until it has estab-
lished not merely in form, but in fact,
the institutions of democracy among
this people, who have hitherto known
only the institutions of monarchy and
servitude.
This is the greatest program to
which a nation has ever pledged it's Gre
dit It's final success means a COM
plete readjustment of declarations be-
tween the east and west, for through
our position in the Philippines there
has come to us the opportunity and
the obligation of leading the orient in
an intellectual and social reconstruc-
ton, perhaps the NOSE significant in
all history. We must not, we cannot
prove unequal to this great task.
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE.
"The Declaration Of independence
has been invoked as an unanswerable
reason why the United States should
withdraw at the earliest possible time
from the control of the Philippine ISL
ands. This instrument served in a
most admirable way it's original pur'
pose as a campaign document in arous-
ing the enthusiasm Of people in sue
cessful revolt against their mother
country.
"In our own civil war and at many
other times, however, this nation has
put itself on record as ready to inter
pret the principles of the Declaration
by the logic of experience and of actua
conditions in the interest of the fulles
social welfare.
"There is a sense in which the idea
of the Declaration are fundamental!
and eternally true. In that sense 1t Il
the great obligation of the United
States to insure life, liberty and th'
pursuit of happiness to 100000 ignor
ant and helpless people"
