BURNS TO DEATH
AFTER DEBAUCH
With Husband She Had Been on Pro-
longed Spree-Couch Caught
Fire.

TACOMA, April 16.-Mrs. ]. c.
Bridges, 32 years old, was burned to
death at her home, Gil South Yakima
avenue, at midnight last night, when
an overturned lamp ignited the COW
ering of the couch upon which she
reclined and enveloped her body in
flames The fearful fatality followed
day and night of debauchery with
her husband. That her husband and
two children were not caught in the
flames and smoke is due to the fact
that the children had been sent to the
residence of H. Barnett, 600 South
Yakima avenue, step-father of Mr..
Bridges, early in the evening, and that
Mr.. Bridges had gone to the Northern
Pacific hospital about $50 O'Clock to
visit his brother-hl-k ".

midnight upon the return of the hus-

No Anxiety Is Felt.

There is little anxiety here because
of the paper situation. The wrapping
paper is used mostly for peaches. and
none of those interested in fruit here
expect that the CROP this season viii
use up the leftover paper of last sea-
sons purchases, to say nothing of re-
quiring new stock to be laid in.
The Yakima valley last year used
altogether, some twelve carloads OF
wrapping paper. There is considera-

various magazines, weekly story pa
pers, trade journals, religious papers
and others of a similar nature. Even
the foreign papers are interested. A
bulletin sent out recently by the Ma
tional association was printed in five
different languages. An instance of
the readiness to cooperate in the cam
paign against tuberculosis may be
noted in the experience of one pro-
minent weekly journal which de-
votes itself entirely to philanthropic
and charitable subjects. Seven years
ago, when this paper started to pub
fish items on tuberculosis, a number
of it's readers considered 1t extremely
bad policy, because of the apparent
Indifference and repugnance of the
subject Today such articles are read
eagerly and thoroughly.

that consumption will never be wiped
out until the prevalent ignorance con-
corning this disease is overcome. To
combat successfully this lack of know

these individual agencies, the National
believes that the press is
the greatest means of educating the
masses concerning this disease. If the
present rate of interest on the part
of the newspaper world continues, it
is estimated that within a few years
every man, woman and child in the
United States will have learned the
simple doctrines of tuberculosis.

HORSE SHOW is DROPPED
Demands on Merchants for None,
are So Numerous That Lovers
of Pure Stock Grew Bashful.

No street horse show will be held
this year. All idea of attempting to
parade the pure bred horses If Yaki-
ma county has been abandoned. The
reason is that while many professed
interest in the undertaking great
many more contended that demands
for financial help to various under
takings this season are out of all
proportion to the income of the lin
tied few who contribute the money.
In the way of public enterprises it
was pointed out that two new
churches have been built, Y. M. C.
A. is in operation, halls are planned
by the Elks. Eagles, Pythians, Wood
men. Salvation Army and Masons; the
baseball team has required some
backing; the A.-Y.-P. exposition is
calling for large donations; the Com
mercial club publicity work must be
maintained. These are a few of the
enterprises on foot, and the funds,
therefore, to a large extent come in
some form or other from a limited
coterie of business houses and bust
ness men.
Will Parade Another Year.
To have given a street parade Of
horses would have required an sx-
penditure of some $500, perhaps, at
the outside, but that money would, of
necessity, have come from people
having but little interest in the horse
and engaged in too many other en-
terprises at this time to have cheer
fully, in that form, shown their in
terest in the small breeder in the
country lying outside North Yakima.
Therefore, the idea was abandoned
until another season, when demands
on ready cash are fewer and the
breeding interests are better recog-
nized as an important phase of ac-
tivity in an agricultural community.

BRISTOL WRECK INVESTIGATION
Excessive Speed Found as Reason for
Bad Wreck.

Gle ELUM, Wash, April 16.-Af-
ter making a rigid examination of the
passenger wreck which occurred at
Bristol last Saturday, the coroner's
jury impaneled for an inquest, re-
turneda verdict in which it was stat
ed that, as far as could be ascertained,
the wreck was caused by excessive
speed at which the train was running.
The inquest, which occupied two days,
was conducted by Deputy Coroner S.
f. Willis.
Several officials of the road were
in attendance at the inquest and were
questioned as to the probability of
on the particular piece of track in
case of high speed. The whole jury
was taken to the scene of the accident
and with the railroad men present
went over every inch of the track,
which has the reputation OF being the
most dangerous on the division
Several of the passengers who were
on the Inflated train testified later to
the high rate of speed maintained, and
all the evidence went to show that at
the time of the ACCIDENT the train was
running at the rate of at least 60
miles an hour.
The record of Engineer Hammond
was brought before the jury, and it
was shown that in 10 years of service
he had acquired the reputation of be-
ing the most careful man on the road.
Some of the railroad men who were
well acquainted with Hammond stated
that he had never been in the habit
of making up time, and in consequence
had stood cOnSidera BILE natured
ioshing from his friends. 1t is sup
posed that he attempted to make up
the lost time, as proof to the jokers
that he could do it, and the wreck was
caused by this action.

WHITE PLAGUE FIGHT GROWS
Columns of Information Have Ac-
quasnted all Classes With Preven-
tatives and Methods Of Cure

Consumption Is receiving nearly
sne-half mile of publicity a week. Is
the unique statement which the Ma
tfonal Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis issues to-
day. According to some recent stat
fstics compiled by that body, the vari-
eue newspapers of the United States
printed articles concerning tuberculo-
sis, which, when measured amounted
to over $4,000 column inches of space
IN two weeks.
The investigation which the Nation
al association conducted included All
Of the daily and weekly newspapers
throughout the United States as well
as some of the larger journals and
magazines. In the two weeks which
were taken as a standard it was found
THAT 81 ,557 column inches of space
was devoted to the subject of tuber-
eulosis. If all of this matter were ga
thered together at one time it would
make a newspaper the ordinary size
of 369 pages printed solid, without
any advertisements ali on the subject
Of tuberculosis. If it were arranged

Press Leads Fight.
Among the numerous agencies
which are today joining in the fight
against tuberculosis, such as the school
church and labor unions, the press IL
in the foremost rank. Never in the
history of American journalism has
the press taken such a lively and con-
tinued interest in subject pertaining
to human health. When it is consider
ed that tuberculosis alone kills nearly
2e0, 900 people in the United States
every year, and that there are at the
present time at least 900, 900 cases of
this disease in the various parts of
the United tSates, a sufficient warrant
fer the activity of the press is given.
The following states are leading at
the present time in the amount of
publicity being given to tuberculosis:
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets. Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio
Missouri, Texas and Illinois. However
there is not state in the union in
which the press is not devoting some
space to the subject of tubercu osis.

GAME LOVERS ARE INCENSED
Say That the Warden Needs to Be a
Person with Love for the Work
as Well as the Salary.

T. r. Fisher, president of the Yak
ina branch of the National Game
Protective association, says that to
Kill goose or duck at this season of
the year is like taking an old setting
hen off the nest and boiling her for
food; the food is no good and be-
sides it is poor business judgment.
Mr.. Fisher is indignant. People who
live in various parts of the county
particularly those below the gap,
have come to him with reports of the
slaughter of game. They want to
know why, if the county has fund
derived from the sale of licenses to
hunters, that fund is not expended
in protecting the natural game and
that which has been planted here at
great expense. Mr.. Fisher says he
will give it up. He doesn't know, but
he does know that sportsmen who
have contributed to the fund would
prefer to see it expended wisely in
game protection than to see part of it
boarded and the balance expended in
salary for a protection which it is
felt does not protect.
Law Not Enforced.
There have been three arrests and
one conviction in his district in the
past dozen years, it is said by local
sportsmen, and in the case of the
conviction the man entered a plea of
guilty, while during the greater part
of that time notably in the past few
years, violation of the laws nave been
a frequent if not daily occurrence.
Wants Interest i'm Game.
One of the troubles. it is reported,
is that when the county wants
warden there are many applicants for
the position, but when an appoint
ment is made the holder of the office
says that he cannot afford to spend
his time in detective work, as there
is not enough money in the position.
What the position needs, says Mr..
Fisher, is some person who wants
something besides the salary. 1t
needs someone who will take an in
terest in the game, somone who is a
protector of game from his heart and
who has sympathy for the animals
in their struggles and is willing to
give them the full benefit of all the
