STILL IN THE PEN
ITENT|ARY
ELLIS WHITMAN RECOMMENDED
FOR ONE YEAR SENTENCE HAS
NOW SERVED OVER TWO-EF-
FORTS MADE FOR PARDON.

Ellis Whitman, known as the HUI
man Rattlebox," and who was sent
to the penitentiary from this city
more than two years ago, is still serv-
ing time, notwithstanding the fact
that Superior Court Judge R. S. Stei-
ner and Prosecuting Attorney Henry
Grass, at the time of his sentence,
recommended that he be held but one
year.
Whitman pleaded guilty to the
charge of passing forged check for
the sum of S. The judge and prose-
cutting attorney recommended that if
his conduct justified it that he should
not be incarcerated over the minimum
time. which is one year.
For some two years Whitman has
been a model prisoner if reports are
true. Whitman is a young man
almost a boy-is thoroughly repent
ant for his mistake and further re-
tention in the penitentiary is in the
nature of persecution. He has no
friends here and this is the reason
that his sentence has lasted so long.
Persons desiring to do a kind act
would do well to write to the state
pardoning board asking for his re-
lease.
The Daily World is not overly SYM
pathetic with wrong-doers but It
knows that this boy had punishment
enough more than a year ago.

Make a Fine Avenue.

The rock roller is doing good SER
vice on Chelan avenue. 1t has packed
the earth and gravel down so that
the street is hard and smooth. Last
night the roller was tried out on the
crushed rock on Wenatchee avenue
between First and Second streets
The coarse rock will be thoroughly
rolled and packed into the ground and
then a coating of finer gravel will be
added and it is thought that this will
make an elegant street.

GRASS DEFINES HIS
POLICY
MAYORALTY CANDIDATE SAYS
THAT HE is FOR IMPROVE
MENTS. GOOD GOVERNMENT
AND FAIRNESS TO ALL.
..Wenatchee, Oct. IS, 1909.

The Daily World, Wenatchee, Wash.
Dear Sirs: Believing as / always
have and now believe that when
man files his declaration of candi-
dacy for a public Office it is his duty
to express himself, and the people
have a right to know his position
upon public affairs such as will prob
ably come within his scope as an Of
ficer, l take this means or expressing
to the public my ideas of some of
the things which will most likely be
among the most important matters
that will come up during the next
year, if | should be elected mayor
of this growing and prosperous city.
A somewhat pretentious weekly
newspaper has attempted to dispar-
age my policy and ideas of running
the city's affairs should be elected
TO the aforesaid position, but I am
frank to say if elected mayor of We
natchee, Washington, | will stand and
work for every improvement pos
sible SO long as the same does not
jeopardize the city's credit or con-
fiscate the peoples property.
1t shall be my endeavor to COM
plete every improvement as quickly
as possible after the same has been
started. I favor the voting of bonds
for street and sewer improvements in
preference to direct assessments. and
especially is this true of the resident
district of the city. my reason being
that under the bond issue it gives the
poor man and the man with limited
means a chance to pay his assessment
for street and sewer improvements
during a period of from five to ten
years or for such time as the bonds
may run to the end that he may re-
tain his property and home and reap
the benefits of increasing values.
I will appoint police force that
will enforce the citys laws fairly and
impartially towards everybody with
out respect to person; I will appoint
a police judge that will try a man
when he is arrested upon the law and
the facts as presented at the trial
U make this statement without any
intention to reflect in any manner
on the present officers); l will ap-
point for the various city offices quail
flied, honorable gentlemen; that any
citizen would receive in his home and
associate with.
l am in favor of sewers whenever
they are needed in either resident or
business parts of the city. l stand
for and will work for progressive,
business, sensible. but economical ad-
ministration. l will not specially
represent any man or set of men; 7
will treat them all alike, fairly and
squarely and without favor to any
one whatever may be their political,
social, financial or religious stand
ing There shall be but one thing
to guide me and that is fairness as
between man and man, and always
above board. I will give to the city's
affairs the same careful, painstaking
attention which / gave to public mat
ters during my two terms as prosecut-
ing attorney of this county.
Yours for a greater and better We
natchee,
HENRY GRASS,

DECISION IN
FAVOR Of
. WIFE
GIVES MRS. G. F. WHEELER A
DIVORCE, ALL THE PROPERTY
III THIS STATE AND CUSTODY
OF THE CHILDREN.

The Wheeler case was disposed of
in the superior court of King county
this week. 1t was complete victory
for Mrs. Sarah Wheeler in the suit
for divorce from her husband, c. F.
Wheeler. This family is we'll known
in this valley and their martial tror-
bles have been well known to We
natchee residents. The decision s
of special interest from the fact that
Mrs. Wheeler was awarded the prop
erty in this state. This includes 20
acres of very fine orchard near the
Lewis & Clark schoolhouse and also
Is acres of land at Peshastin.
The divorce was asked for by Mr..
Wheeler and following the COM
mencement of the action attorneys
for both the man and his wife came
in the city and many dispositions
were taken. c. A. Reynolds, of the
firm of Reynolds, Ballinger & Hut
son, represented Mrs. Wheeler. The
court. in granting the divorce, among
other things, said:
"The fact of bringing this action
was cruelty. | cannot conceive Of
a scintilla of testimony in this case
from beginning to end that would
justify him in making charge Of
any character against his wife.
cannot for the life of me. 1t is not
very dignified on the bench to use
the expression of chaser but at
the same time there are {. great num-
ber Of words that have gotten into
the English language in the last SO
years that are gradually becoming
incorporated in our language, slang
. expressions that you find, and that
term chaser either for male or fe-
male we all know what 1t means.
The testimony impresses me with the
idea that Mr.. Wheeler has been an
adept at the business, and his wife,
I am impressed with the idea, that
she told the truth when she said the
effect of all of it was to make her
a broken-hearted woman.
Now, at the same time I do not
want the division of the property to
pauperize him or to do him an in
Justice. He is built that way, and
there are lots of other men, probably
good men, who have erred in that
respect just as much as he has. Some
of them to my own knowledge, men
made that way and at the same time
are mighty good to their families.
He is not indolent or idle or anything
of that kind, and I do not want it
understood that was the impression
the court had got from the testi-
mony. The testimony impresses me
very strongly with the, fact that Mrs.
Wheeler. outside of any other con-
sideration in the case, adds to its
merits as l construe the word 'mer-
it's in the statutes. that she added
very largely, through her own labor,
her own personal labor, that she
added probably to a larger extent
than he. did to acquiring this prop
erty. The great probabilities are
had it not been for her industry, her
daily help, when she might have
helped, her presence and influence
that the property never would have
been accumulated. She had con-
tributed very largely toward accumu-
lating that property"

ladies who were started out with from
500 to 5000 votes having dropped out

ants. Just what disposition will be
made with those thousands of votes is
still troubling the bunc contest advo-

PLAN FOR MAKING

Strikes Popular Chord in
Advocating Mill Creek
Boulevards.

Professor l.. F. Anderson struck a
popular chord at the weekly luncheon
of business men in the DacreS hotel
this afternoon, when he advocated the
plan of constructing boulevards on
either. side of Mill. creek above the
business section of the city. That this
city has opportunities for beauty pos
sessed by no other in the state or in
the west. was the rather broad state
ment of the speaker, who WaXed en-
thusiastic in presenting the novel idea
to members of the Commercial club.
He said Walla Walla should be
made the Art City of the West >,
should be made to the Pacific north =
west what Florence is to Italy, and by
the construction of boulevard on
either side of Mill creek the effect
could be made highly artistic. Profess
sor Anderson received hearty applause
from those present who saw the feast
bility of his plan, and the assemblage
was quite generally in favor of giving
the Garden City the additional title
of the Art City"

WHITMAN
STATUE

After dokps duty in the Walla Walla
cast of Marc,lc Whitman, one of the
heroic pioneers Of the northwest, will
be returned to this city and set on a
sound foundation on the Whitman col
lege campus. This idea was formulat-
ed after seeing the splendid cast that
was made in Spokane by sculptor of
that city and which was used in the
parade of the National Irrigation con-
gress. The cast is the largest of its
kind ever made in the northwest and
that such work could be obtained in
this section of the country proved a
revelation to everyone.
When returned to this city. an ap
propriate unveilng will be held on
ers and men Of note will be present.
Effort will also be made to have the
public schools close for the afternoon
so that all the school children may
attend the exercises.

of Snohomish county Since the burn
ing of the court house at Everett, the
people of the northern part of the

curing inducements for the commits
sioners to move the county seat to this
place.
AS a result. $4,000 in cash and an
excellent site for the court house
have been raised. and should it be
necessary more will be forthcoming.
The cities of Mukiltea, SnOhOmish and
