WASHINGTON MEET
GOES TO SEATTLE
WHITMAN CANNOT GUARANTEE
ENOUGH MONEY TO SATISFY
UNIVERSITY.
Coach Blanchard Gives Call for Track
Men to Show up With
Spiked Shoes.

Instead of the Whitman Washington
track meet being held in this city as
previously arranged, in all probability
this event will be pulled off in Seattle.
The board of control of the state uni
versity has had this matter under con-
sideration for some time and when
Whitman offered a sum which was not
considered large enough to meet all the
expenses of the ''U" trip here, they ar
ranged to hold the meet on the Sound
Although the executive committee at
Whitman has rot met and discussed
this subject, it is more than likely that
it will agree with the university men.
In case the track meet is held in Seat
tie, a meet with the University of
city on May which will give the peo-
pie here an opportunity to see the local
athletes in action.
Whitman met Washington on her
own grounds last year and it is Wash
ington'S turn to meet the Missionaries
in Walla Walla. The contention of the
"U' boys, however, is, that Il the meet
is held in Seattle, it will receive far
better support. 1t is also claimed that
Whitman will not guarantee enough
money to pay the expenses Of the men
from the coast. these facts taken to-
gether. causing the discussion.
Washington promises to have splen
did team this season and although the
material is not brilliant, under the tute-
lage of Physical Director D. c. Hall,
great things may be expected from
them
Whitman is not so far behind in this
respect either and already the old and
the new men have been ordered out
to start in practice for this years work.
Many of her crack men are back and

Five Diamond Followers Who Played
Here Last Year Will Try Out
With Seattle.

Five ball tossers who last season
played in this city, have been slated
on the try-out list for the Seattle team
this year and it is believed by those

edge of the game that they will make

Oriet, the best short stop artist ever

Anderson, who pitched for the local
aggregation, and Croker, a former
high school boy, who has made good
in baseball.
The. official date for appearing at

rived and the others will drift in as

MRS. PECK ASKS
FOR A DIVORCE.
Claims Her Husband Beat Her While
In Drunken Frenzy-Asks Re-
strainnq Order.

Because he beat her last Thursday
morning, while under the influence OF
liquor and then dragged her about the
house by the hair of her head, Maggie
r. Peck yesterday filed in the superior
court motion for divorce, asking a,
the same time for the sum of 500 as
temporary alimony with an additional
$3.50 as attorneys fees.
Last Saturday Peck, charged with
assault and battery upon his wife was
fined in the justice court $50 and costs.
this sum apparently did not appease
the irate spouse who claims that she
has had enough of that sort of treat
ment and asks that the bonds Of mat
rimony be dissolved
Mr.. and Mrs. Peck were married
May II, 1905, and since that time have
been living about five miles below
the city. No children were born as
a result of this union. which Mrs.
Peck claims has been an unhappy one
from the beginning. In addition to
owning 800 acres of farm land in
Umatilla county, valued at about $4,000
this couple owns personal property
worth about $3.50
Fearing that her husband will sell
the property or place it so that it can
not be held in any manner, the plain
ill., through her attorneys, prays the
court to issue an order forbidding this
and at the same time asks for temper
airy support, alleging that the defend
ant, A. 1. Peck, is in a position to
pay it,

Basketball Tomorrow Night.

A lively contest is expected in the
Pearsons academy and the high school
in the latter's gymnasium tomorrow
evening In the previous tryout Pear
sons won by the score of "a to 20, not
only the closeness of the score but tne
fact that the game was won in the last
three minutes makes the outcome of
tomorroW's scramble extremely doubt
full.
While PearsOns boys are confident
of winning again, the High boys are
just as confident and the game should
be good one.

Manager Harold Stewart was au-
thorized by the student board of con-

WHEN THE comic history of the American
people comes to be written fat chapter will
have to be allotted to the antics of the experts,
whose knowledge usually bears the inverse re
lation to their fees. In the Thaw case, for ex-
ample, the alienists who took the stand for the
State, or the defense, were themselves some
times brought uncomfortably near to the doors
of the madhouse. So, too the hearings of the
tariff schedules go to prove that the cost of
manufacture is mere guess work for men like
Mr.. Gary and Mr.. Carnegie are at opposite
poles of opinion as to the minimum price at
which steel can be made. Mr.. Gary maintains
that the present protection is none too great,
while Mr.. Carnegie declares that the industry
needs no protection at all. To use the canny
Scots picturesque phrase, There are as many
ways of estimating the cost of output as there
are of killing cat" One would imagine that
it were easy enough to take the value of the
ore and add thereto such items as wages, the
interest on capital, and the depreciation of
plants. But the experts can agree upon moth
ing save the bare principle itself. In plain
terms, the revision of the tariff will not be the
result of expert wisdom, such as it is, but by
the compromising ofinnumerable selfinterests.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, for the past SIX years,
has been using his "big stick" very freely and
has gotten himself in several unpleasant rows,
but he has at least run up against snag with
the House Of Representatives and his position
today is by no means an enviable one. His
last message TO Congress contained insinuations
or charges that highly incensed the members
and they-by an almost unanimous vote
declared: I'VE consider the language of the
President in his message of December 9Th, 1905
unjustiied and without basis of fact, and that
it constitutes breach of the privileges of the
House. That the message of the President
sent to the House on January 4th, 1909, being
unresponsive to the inquiry of the House and
constituting an invasion of the privileges of the
House by questioning the motives and intelli-
gence of members in the exercise of their con-
stitutional rights and functions, be laid on the
table, This rebuke to the President was car.
ried by vote of 212 to 35. The people of the
country must feel glad that there are less than
two more months of Roosevelt, then safe
and sane' administration will begin at the
Nations Capital.
