SUNDAY TALKS RIGHT

Billy Sunday appeared as new
man before an appreciative crowd
of high school students at 1
O'Clock this afternoon. There are
two sides to Billy. He can talk
education and the upbuilding Of
young manhood with just as much
vim and zeal as he can hurl def
ance at the devil in his evangelist
work. The high school boys are
ready to get down and scrap for
Billy now. Just as strenuous as
he is. in: his tabernacle REVEALS,
he appeared to the students on be-

TURNS BURGLAR

Clever work and retentive mem
DRY on the part of Officer Pitts,
otherwise known around police
headquarters as the candy kid"
resulted this morning in landing
James Ellsworth, alias Rupert, be-
hind the bars of the city Jail on a
charge of burglary. Likewise. the
booty stolen from the residence of
Mrs. Dutton, E49 Euclid avenue,
yesterday afternoon was found in
the young mans pockets.
So well did a delivery boy work
ing for the Ohio market describe
a young man whom he saw about
the residence of Mrs. Dutton, dur
ing the absence of the mistress of
the house, that Desk Officer Pitts
recognized it Immediately as that
of man who had appeared at the
inquiry window at police headquar-
ters yesterday morning and asked
for direction to E116 Euclid ave-
nue., where he had wind of a job.
Pitts knew of the specific employ
ment agency that had sent Rupert
in quest of the job, and soon after
the delivery boy left the police sta
ton this morning, Pitts had it fixed
with attaches of the employment
agency to tell him if Ellsworth,
alias Rupert, showed up at that
place. He was rewarded a half
hour later by walking into the en-
ployment agency aud picking up
the alleged burglar. A pistol. razor
and purse, the property of the
Dutton family, was on his person
and 35 cents, supposed to be a
remainder of about $3.50 taken
from the Dutton residence, was in
his pockets.
How the young fellow came by
the money, he will not state He
was broke when he asked for en-
ployment yesterday morning. He
never went to take the job at E116
Euclid avenue but came back to
town comparatively early yester-
day afternoon. Ellsworth, or
Rupert, whiche verhis name may
be, is a native of Idaho and only
Is years old.

TO END
DOCTOR PRIZE

One of the first things to be done
by the new county commissioners
will be the establishment of more
economical ways for caring for the
contagious diseases that occur over
the county. The old mileage sys-
tenn, under which the present
county health officer, DR.. Morrison,
has prosperously operated, will be
discontinued, and the services of
local doctors In the small towns
called into play.
The county health officer will be
required to also act as county ply
stefan and will draw only one COM
pensation for the two jobs. There
will be no chance to pile up excess
sive bills for mileage, as the quar-
antining and disinfecting Of con-
tagious diseases at distant points
will be looked after by deputy
health officers residing in the local
neighborhoods.
The commissioners have not yet
announced any appointment for
county physician and health officer,
but 1t Is announced that there will
be a change. 1t Is certainly due
and Morrison ought to be willing to
let go by this time.

D0N|CHT WEEPS
IN VAIN

Carl F. w. Donicht, the young
man recently found guilty by a
jury of burning a house on Scott
street, near Sherman. was today
sentenced by Judge Sullivan to
Walla Walla for a term of three
to 10 years.
In a statement made before SEN
tence was passed, Donicht again
protested innocence. His attorney,
Mr.. Hand, asked the court to be
as lenient as he could with
Donicht. When the court announc-
ed its sentence Donicht was so
overcome that he wept in court.
His attorney said Donicht had
hoped for acquittal before the jury,
and failing in this thought the
court might let him off with a light
sentence. The nature of the SEN
tence seemed to strike Donicht
with such force that he was over
come for the time being.
Donicht was found guilty of
burning a house in which he had
been living with a woman named
Phillips. The motive was said to
be the collection of an insurance
policy of s1100 on the household
goods.

LOVELY MAXINE IN NEW PLAY
AT HER OWN LITTLE THEA TER
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-MaXine
Elliott, whose new theater, all her
own, the Maxine Elliott, was lately
opened, has a play written in the
latest style.
The vogue among playwrights
for three years was to have the
heroine help others out of trouble.
Rose Stahls The Chorus Lady"
and Ethel Barrymore's Cousin
Kate" are examples. The new
vogue is to put the heroine into
such trouble that it is all she can
do to help herself out, much less
aid any other character in distress.
Ethel Barrymore's Lady Freder-
lex is a sample of this vogue.
Maxine Elliott's new play, The
Chaperon,' contains the same
feature.
The chaperon, divorced from an
Austrian count, is forced to spend
a night on small island with jim
Ogden. the man named by the
count as correspondent The count
catches them. This places the
beautiful Maxine. some of whose
clothes are hanging on an impro-
vised clothes line, in a most embar-
RAISING position. But it turns out
all right In the end, when the chap.
eron is proven above suspicion.

now running into Spokane on time.
The weather has tied up every

conditions will prevail for more
than a couple of days.

The Spokane International is
several hours late, but is getting

trips this weather cannot rely upon

Waging War on Weeds.

In recent years the farmers of the
state have been attempting to free
their fields of noXious weeds, and in the
effort the University of Wisconsin has
played an important part. Early spring
has found many grain fields in Wiscon-
sin scene of wild mustard, presenting
a work of weeks for men pulling the
weeds one by one. Fortunately, under
the direction of Prof r. A. Moore of
the university, this part of the prob
lem has been practically solved. By
repeated experiments Prof. Moore has
found that oat fields can be sprayed by
a solution that will kill the wild mus
tard and leave the grain unframed.
This is a great boon to every farmer as
it not only eradicates the weed, but
prevents the further spread of the pest
through the sale of the seed crop.
Just now the agricultural college is
engaged in some notable experiments
in the growing of hemp. Not only has
it been found that hemp can be grown
with profit in Wisconsin, but that the
crop will be luxurious and may grad
ually lead to the establishment of new
industries in the state as a result.
Hemp is also an enemy to weeds. At
Waupun hemp was planted on land lit
orally ''plastered" with the Canada
thistle, one of the worst weed enemies
the farmers have to contend with to-
day. AS the hemp grows to great
height, has dense, heavy foliage, it
naturally within few weeks shuts out
the sunlight from the ground. Other
vegetation dies without sunlight and it
was found that where the hemp was
grown scarcely Canada thistle plant
wat growing this year. Experiments
along this line will be carried further
by the university and the outcome
awaited with interest Madison Journal
