EVENING CHIT-CHAT
By Ruth Cameron

when baby answers all inquiries as to
his name and where he lives by saying
he is ''papa's boy" or 'mamma's baby
and that he lives on the street where
the cars go by, or some equally explicit
direction, but l have seen too many
lost babies and frantic mothers not to
prefer the way the baby next door
answers such questions.
His father has theories on the SUBJ
ject and just as soon as Richard was
able to talk at all he was taught to say
"My name is Richard Martin and !
live at 15 Winthrop street" OF course,
he called it "Wichard' at first, and
stumbled quite a bit over the Win
throp,' but it was quite plain enough
for any intelligent person to make out.
If children, in addition to this are
taught never to speak to strangers,
they will have received two very valu-
abel lessons
The kidnapping of Willie Whitla
which so stirred up the country a little
while ago, was hardly of a sort that
could have been prevented by such
instructions, but if Charlie Ross had
had it firmly impressed upon his mind
that he must never, never speak tt
strangers, he probably would not have
climbed SO docilely into the team that
carried him over the hill and into the
mystery that has ever since shrouded
his life-or death

local officials. Massachusetts, receives
over two millions of dollars from this
source; the other Ave states very lit
tle
Banks, insurance companies, and
other financial corporations pay large
amounts, often exceeding the tax paid
by railroads. but they do not come
within the scope of this report, except
in the comparison of financial results.
Maine alone of the New England
states secures large revenue by char
tering corporations-nearly quarter
of a million dollars annually.
New England has made consider
able advance in separating the sources
of state from local revenue, supporting
the local jurisdictions through the tax
upon local property, and the state gov
eminent by taxes upon corporations
and inheritances Vermont and Con-
necticut are the only states which thus
pay practically all state expenses. In
the other states the towns collect large
amounts to turn over to the state.
"a comparison of the six systems
herein digested should be of general
value. They represent experiments of
highly intelligent communities, applied
over a long series of years and modI-
fed by vast changes in economic con-
ditions They show the whole subject
matter to be still in an unfinished con-
dition, partly because Of differences in
theories and largely because of the diff
ficulty of equitably applying abstract
principles to the practical collection of
revenue

of January /. 1909, but, by use of foot
notes, it has been brought down to
April Is. 1909"

ADJUSTMENTS
A Midsummer Niqht's Dream.

The announcement of the production
OF Shakespeare's "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" with Mendelssohn's
music, at the Keylor Grand theatre,
Thursday evening May 9th. has in
terested many q fferent kinds of peo-
pie: more so than almost any other
theatrical affair in recent years.
Shakesperian reviVals always interest
a large number of people who are not
regular theatre goers. Ben Greet, too,
has a special following that is not of
the theatre; "Everyman," the WOODLAND
production. gave him a strong hold on
the interest of the serious minded
Shake speare and Ben Greet together
should suffice to draw a fine and large
audience But still another large grouP
of people is appealed to by the appear
ance Of the Russian Symphony orches-
ira in MendelssOhn's charming Incl
dental music, and the fact that this
IS the MendeIssOhn centenary year will
naturally swell this interest to the
max mum. The various sections and
classes Interested overlap more or
less, but together they include a con-
siderable part of the population Of
Walla Walla and neighboring towns.
and the audience is likely to be one of
the best of the season. Mail orders
payable to J. B. Catron, manager, can
be sent to him and will be filled as re-
ceived. This plan has been found con-
ven.ent for all. and has been especi-
ally appreciated by out-of town pa
irons. This is the first appearance in
Walla Walla of the Russian Symphony
orchmestra of New York. conducted by
Modest Altschuler and numbering 50
players The company will appear in
only a few eastern cities, but its tour
viii take it as far as the Pacific coast.
In May and June Mr.. Greet will re-
turn through the south in season for
open-air performances.

Hardly a week passes but you may
read in your newspapers of some child
being lost.
Usually the baby is found in day
or two-often in a few hours-before
the ink on the newspaper that publishes
his disappearance is dry.
But the torture the father and mother
suffered while the baby was awaiting
them at some station house was prob
ably something never to be forgotten.

Quale Delisso, the Italian accused of
numbering Louis Tenace at Port
Reading August 25, 1907, was sem
fenced to state prison for twenty
years by Justice Bergen this morn
ing.
Delisso had been tried once before
and was sentenced to be electrocut-
ed. The case was sent back for a
new trial. however, and came up to-
day. When it was called, Lawyer
Alan Strong, attorney for Delisso,
asked that lesser degree of murder
be pleaded to. Prosecutor Berdine
stated that some of his witnesses
were in Italy and he did not know
whether he would be able to get
them or not on account of the earth
quake. He said he was willing to
have the prisoner plead to other
than the first degree.
Delisso then pleaded non vult for
murder in the second degree. Law
yer Strong made a plea for lienency
In the sentence as he said Delisso
had tuberculosis and would not live
long.
When the court pronounced the
twenty-year sentence Delisso thought
he Was getting more than he de-
served and he became quite excited.

MARKET BUILDING AND
LARGE HALL PLANNED
Contractor J. C. Donehue Outlines His
Proposed Structure in New
Brunswick Avenue.
80 STALLS FOR MARKET MEN

ing, there will be market stalls, each
six by eight feet.
There will be eighty of these
stalls, each with a concrete floor.
The driveways will also be Of con-
|crete and will terminate in an open
space in the back part Of the build
ing which has been planned so that
farmers may bring in their produce,
unload it and be able to drive out
without backing their horses.
Mr.. Donehue says that already
there have been many applications
for rental of the stalls and that he
expects to start work on the build
ing so that the market will be ready
by May 1. Mr.. Donehue got his idea
by watching the people at the public
market in November. He says he
saw them shivering with the cold
and he decided that it would be a
good investment to build place
large enough to accommodate the
dealers and customers. 'In the win
ter,' he said, people do not want to
stand out in the cold, nor do they
want to stand in the broiling sun in
the summer. l conferred with the

STREET SKATERS
SOUGHT BY POLICE

Numerous complaints have been
made to the police in regard to boys
roller skating on Smith and State
streets. The patrolmen have orders
to make the lads desist, and unless
they obey they are likely to be ar
rested and punished.
Patrolman Andrew Jensen at
Smith and State streets Saturday
told boy to get of the sidewalk and
skate in the street. He was rebuked
for his action by the boys mother,
who threatened to report the of1cer
for his action. The policeman did not
forget to be courteous and, after ex-
planning his action, told the lady that
she could report him at headquarters
IL she cared to.

SITUATION IN
SOUTH AMBOY
is EXPLAINED
Views Of Former Borough
Clerk Coan On Mixup
Among City Officials.
SEES PROSPECTS OF
COMING HARMONY

According to Former Clerk F. p.
Coan of the old borough of South Am
boy, there are indications that the dis
agreement which has arisen between the
tewly-elected Office holders of the new
Iity is nearing an end. AS far as can
be ascertained, Ambrose Treganowan,
lhe mayor, has reconsidered his resig-
nation Of few days ago, says Mr..
Coan, and the councilmen have been in
Btructed as to their duties and the linn
itation Of their powers and the whole
matter, over which such a fuss became
than a misunderstanding.
Former Clerk Coan, who was clerk
when South Amboy was borough, this
morning, gaze his views of the situa-
tion. He claims it is a misunderstand-
Ing on the part of the mayor and coun-
cilmen. He says that Mayor Tregan-
owan was of the opinion that the Of
fees of city solicitor and treasurer were
elective, but so long as they were not
named at the election, he would ap-
point them. Now, the former bor-
ough clerk states that, under an amend
ment to the law under which South
Amboy was made city and under
which it is now governed, approved
March 81, 1899, the Office of city treas
urer is appointive by the council. The
amendment in part, is as follows: CAT
the annual meeting of the Common
Council a City Treaurer shall be ap-
pointed by the said Common Council,
who shall hold office for a term Of
three years. The former borough
clerk declares that the only place in
the latest law on the subject, relative
to the election or appointment Of city
solicitor, is in the qualifying oath for
taking Offices of the various officers
which is as follows: every person
elected or appointed to any office, in
cluding the city solicitor, who shall be
appointed for a term not exceeding
three years, shall before entering on
his duties, take and subscribe the oath
of office"
AS to the naming of a president Of
The common council, the law says ''The
Common Council shall annually elect Il
president Of it's own body"

cations, he will have the office. The

Special By United Press Wire
Washington, Jan. 11:-Arising to the
question of personal privilege and ad-
dressing an audience that packed the
galleries, Senator Ben Tillman, of South
Carolina, today denied the charge OF
the President that he had used his Of
fetal position for private benefit or had

transaction.
Senator Tillman accused the Presi.
dent of personal malice, misrepresenta
tion, Justification, cowardice, hitting be-
low the belt, contempt of the senate
and of violation Of the law in the use
of the secret service.
He arraigned the President for per.
mitting the so-called trust to absorb the

senator asked for a searching investi.
cation of his conduct and invited q
