such building as will greatly facili-
tate our operations in behalf of the
needy
ut is proposed that the new build
ing shall contain the following: A
free reading room. free dispensary,
an emergency hospital. fully
equipped, free to the poor and with
light expense to those of limited
means: free shower baths; few
free beds; an adequate relief de-
pa-tment; a free employment
agency; officers quarters; a suitable
auditorium.
FRoughly estimated. such a build
ing, including the acquisition of lots,
will cost not less than $4,000. A
larger sum could be judiciously ex-
pended without a touch of wastefUl
extravaganza. The money to be col
lected will be deposited in local
bank in favor of the Salvation Army
Building Fund, to be drawn upon
only in favor of the Army Building
Effort and subject to the order of

urer.

a magnificent tribute to the gener-
osity Of her citizens and then dare
to suggest that from the moment of
dedication our new building shall be
a veritable beehive of Industrious eff
fort for the benefit of those upon
whom the shadows of misfortune
have been cast, we make our appeal
with large degree of confidence

IatneT ana the gas companies ueny
emphatically the story that the boy
was short in his accounts. and they
say that he at all times has been q
trusted and valued employee.
The police have advanced a muir.
der theory OF their own. based upon
circumstances not entirely div0lgej.
The dead man is said by the police
to have been infatuated with a wo-
man known as Gladys German, who
lived in Ellensburg up to a short time
ago. The German woman, in COM
pany with another woman, came to
this city on the evening of December
10. Breeze and the woman and 9TH
ers we're seen drinking together the
night Of December 10. Breeze went
to work as usual in the gas company's
office the next day, and was at his
desk until lunch time on December
20. After lunch he did not return
to work, and no knowledge of his
whereabouts were known until his
body was found last Thursday even
ing. He had disappeared completely
and this circumstance seemed to Gre
ate no suspicion in the minds of his
employers, for neither the sheriffs
Office, the police, nor the mans faith
er in Walla Walla were notified
Breeze had previously left his watch
and other valuables in the gas COM
pany's safe.
The last seen of Breeze was on the
afternoon of December 20. The
German woman, on the same after
noon, wrote note to Breeze, and
gave it to cabman with Instructions
that in case he could not find Breeze
to return the letter to her and un-
der no circums tances to let any one
else see 1t. The cabman was unable
to find Breeze, and returned the let
ter to the German woman unopened.
The German woman on the morning
Of December 81 left for Ellensburg
and week later went to Chicago.
1t is the opinion of the police that
Bree2e's rival for the hand of the
German woman decoyed him while
under the influence of liquor or
drugs to the spot where his body was
found, and dealt him the fatal blow.
Another theory which may explain
Breeze's body being in natural
sleeping position, but which is not
reliable. is that he was decoyed down
the Northern Pacific track, and was
struck by his assailant, who left the
body lying on the tracks in the hope
that the murder would be hidden by
passing train mangling it beyond
recognition. While lying on the
tracks Breeze may have partially re-
covered consciousness, and while in
dazed and supplied condition, stag
gered to the place where his body
was found. dying later from the ef-
fects Of the blow and the cold.
An inquest will be held over the
remains of Breeze the first OF the
week. At this time important devel-
opments and testimony will be intro
uuced.

for materials. He is preparing to

telescope.

NO CRIME TO HUG AND KISS
Not an Attempt to Do Violence, But
Generally an Evidence Of Affec-

Baltimore, Md--ln the habeas cor
pus case of James Fisher, before
Judge Elliott In the court Of common
pleas, the point arose as to whether
hugging and kissing is a crime. Fish
er had been committed by Justice
Robert W. Beach to Jail for FIVE years
and fined s25 and costs on the charge
of assaulting a girl in Baltimore by
hugging and kissing her. Thomas j..
/, Mason, who represented Fisher, made
a point that, hugging and kissing was
not a crime nor an attempt to do vic,
lence, but generally was an evidence
of affection, and as the charge did not
show that Fishers action was against
the will of the girl, the prisoner
should be discharged. Judge Elliott
smiled and ordered the prisoner dis.
charged without comment. Fisher
already had served a year of his sen.
tence, counting time off for good be,
havior.

Iem--One Tribe Related TO
Famous Aztecs.

Berkeley, Cal-Confronted with the
problem Of aboriginal languages. OF the
California Indians SO highly devei-
oped that it must have taken thou'
sands of years to work out their evo-
luton. Prof. A. L. Kroeber OF the an
thropological department OF the Uni
verslty of California has suggested the
theory that the tribes must be re-
lated in some way to the Asiatic peo-
pies across the Pacific.
This theory, he believes, Is borne
out by certain peculiar resemblahces,
and is associated with the discovery
that at least one tribe in the neigh
borhood of Los Angeles, is intimately
related to the famous Aztecs OF old
Mexico. The theory is of the greatest
importance in the study OF ethnology,
new facts and theories in this branch
of science being eagerly awaited by
savants in this country and IN Eu-
rope.
The question of migration and dis
tribution of the great races Is mt
mately bound up with the problem,
AS yet there Is not sufficient data TO
advance it in anything more than a
tentative form, but the members OF
the department of anthropology In
the university are working hard TO
bring out all the facts.
Written records of 92 different In
dian languages and dialects have been
secured by members OF the depart
ment, many OF them being supple
mented by photographic records. The
total number of distinct aboriginal idi-
ems in California is now estimated to
have been 1876. Few Indians are still
found who speak language that has
not been previously noted. Such a
new dialect was only this month re-
corded by Prof. A. L. Kroeber from
the Sacramento valley.
The numerous languages fan In
about twenty groups, known as fam
lilies or stock. All the dialects with
in one group show certain similar
ity, but there Is no resemblance what
ever between one group and another,
Owing to the absence OF historical
records for more than very short
period. the similarities and differ
ences between the various languages
furnish the best means OF classifying
the Indian tribes and Of determining
their relationships and origin. In
this way it has been ascertained that
certain tribes Of Humboldt and Men
doeina counties have sprung from the
same source as the Indians of Alaska
and the Apache The Indians that
formerly inhabited Los Angeles coun'
ty are relatives of the famous Aztecs
of Mexico. The majority Of the Cali,
fornia Indians have no relatives out
side of the state, so that they are
thought to have either originated in
the state or to have sprung from an.
cestors that lived there many thou.

Others concerning the condition of some

fencing is about to fall on the sidewalk

the fencing be longer neglected, the cap
tain has been directed to remove the
same and clear the sidewalk. Over
