DyNAM|TERS BUSY
DECLARE SPORTsMEN
DITTEMORE TELLS OF SEEIfaG
SCHOOL OF DEAD TROUT
IN STREAM.
Evidence Being Secured Against Ger
tain Observation-Disclosures
on the Lookout.

DAYTON, WASH, April 1O-That
fish are being dynamited in the Touch
ct river is the report brought to this
city by several sportsmen within the
last few days. j. l.. Dittemore, dep
uty county treasurer, while fishing in
the stream two miles west of Dayton
yesterday was surprised to see several
schools of dead fish float past him dur
ing the afternoon. He was unable to
hook any of the trout so that an ex-
animation could be made. George
Thomas. fishing at the same time a
few miles east of here, noticed the
same occurrence.
Mr.. Dittemore said today that there
can be no doubt that either dynamite
or lime is being used to kill trout in
the Touchet river this spring. He said
that strong evidence was being OBJ
tanned against. a party who was fish
ing in the North Touchet the first OF
this week. One of the party has re-
turned home with large basket full
of fish that were evidently not caught
with ordinary tackle. A number of
fishermen reported yesterday having
seen dead fish in the stream.
Now that the authorities are on the
lookout a strict patrol Of the streams
in this vicinity will be maintained.
Fishing this spring in the Touchet,
which is the mecca of sportsmen from
all over the northwest during the sum-
mer months, is said to be the best for
several seasons. The stream is lit
orally alive with minnow schools
Most of the trout caught since the first
uf April are exceptionally large and
uniform in size, ranging in length from
nine inches to a foot. An effort Will
be made it is thought to obtain
part of the output of the Walla Walla
hatchery during the summer.

RANKS FULL FOR FIRST TIME
SINCE THE SPANISH
AMERICAN WAR.
ENLISTMENT IS STOPPED
Officers Discredit Theory Of Hard
Times Bringing Forces to Full Com
ing Out Of UndesirabIes to Make
Room for Promising Youths.

NEW YORK, April 10.-For the first
time since the Spanish war, the
United States army is recruited UP to
its full strength. This fact was made
public here today with the posting of
an order signed by the 'adjutant gener-
al of the army, in which all recruiting
is ordered temporarily discontinued
except in the case of time expired men,
to whom the privilege of reenlistment
is given.
The impression that bringing the
army up to its full complement of H.
900 men was the result of hard times
is not shared by army officers who
have given the subject thought. Ac-
cording to one of these, the result
was brought about in great measure
through the publication last September
of an article by Colonel Heistand
treating of "The army as a career
From now on there is to be a sys-
tematie wedding out of undesirable
soldiers to make room for promising
youths whose addresses are being kept
in sort of preferred waiting list.
By this. means army men hope soon
to raise the standard of the regular
army until it will be superior in
morale and efficiency to any military
organization of the old world.

DECLARES CHAPLAIN
FRANCIS, p. JOYCE SPEAKS AT
FAREWELL SMOKER BY
BOYS OF TROOP D.
Large Au5:erce of Enlisted Men
Gather to Hear Parting Words
of Army Divine.

Burning words, conveying truths of
weight, were uttered by Chaplain
Francis P Joyce of the Fourteenth
cavalry in the post hall last night at
the farewell smoker rendered the boys
Of Troop d, who leave tomorrow for
Monterey, Cal, the speakers thought
having been for revolution which
would bring the man Of the blue uni
form to a fuller realization of the ne
cessity for a more moral tendency in
the ranks.
Practically every enlisted man at
Fort Walia Walla was gathered in post
hall when Chaplain Joyce's master
piece was delivered, and the thoughts
contained in his brief but pointed ad-
dress were the more weighing because
of the fact that he does not often have
the opportunity of having for an audi
ence So large a gathering of the "men
behind the guns
That there must be something mon
grel in the descent of the soldiers of
today from the veteran forces, whose
gallant commander sometimes went
aside to pray, was one Of the state
ments of Chaplain Joyce, whose re-
marks were as follows:
A Military Philippe.
'We feel it is a privilege and an
honor to be enrolled in this magnifi
cent army that would trace it's an

American chivalry. the Continentals Of

country were robbed of the pages that
tell Of Dorchester Heights, of Tren

memory of Washington be illustrious
and immortal because of those words
in his farewell address that pay trib-
ute to religion.
"And today in the army when we
know it is impossible to require SOL
diers to attend divine service, when
we know that atheism, that scepti-
cism. that agnosticism everywhere

CONFIDENTLY Ex.
PECT BIRTH WITHIN COM.
ING WEEK.
HOPES OFTEN BEEN DASHED
Constant Fear of Country Has Been
That House Of Orange Would Die
Out With Childless Sovereien-Two
Score Women Work Many Months
on Lace for Baby's Cradle.

THE HAGUE, April 10.-The birth
of an heir to the throne of Holland is
confidently expected the coming week
and if all goes we'll the outburst of
popular enthusiams will be such as
seldom has been witnessed among the
placid Dutch. There has been no
royal birth in the Netherlands since
that of Queen Wilhelmina herself, 81
years ago. Thrice before since the
marriage of Lille Wilhelmina," as
the Hollanders affectionately call the
queen, have the hopes of the country
been raised, only to be dashed.
The constant fear of the Dutch has
been that the house of Orange would
die out with chi.dless sovereign, and
that Holland would pass under the
rule of a German prince, and would
thereby possibly become a German
vassal state. This partly accounts for
the extraordinary eagerness with
which the event is awaited in every
town and village in the Netherlands.
Demonstrations on a gigantic scale
have been arranged, salute of 1O1
guns will be fired upon the announce
ment of the birth of a prince and 81
for a princess.
The health of the queen has been
excellent. DR.. Kouwer, an eminent
gynecolOgist, in addition to the queens
regular physicians, is in constant at
tendance. A suite of six rooms has
been prepared for the infant by the
queen herself, and in these have been
installed some ancient cradles of the
house of Nassau, of wonderful work
mans hip. All, however, have been dis
carded in favor of homely wooden
Dutch cradle, which will be used or
dinarily, while on state occasions the
baby will occupy a beautiful cradle
which was made at The Hague school
Of lace work, where two score women
instructors and pupils worked many
months in procuring the lace for this
cradle.
Two rooms are literally filled with
costly presents which have been sent
for the royal baby from every city and
hamlet in the Netherlands.

INSPECTORS RATE
. ALL THE DIARIES
SAMPLES OF BOTH MILK AND
CREAM TESTED AND FOUND
IN GOOD CONDITION.
Many Places Found to Be Unsanitary-
Range From Good to Very Poor
Work With City Officials.

During the last week L. w Han
son, deputy state dairy Inspector
working under the direction of State
Dairy and Food Commissioner L.
Davies, have been inspecting the city's
port of their work for the week:
"The first inspection was that of
the milk. and cream found to be deliv-
cred in the city. The specific gravi-
ty of the milk was determined and
samples of both the milk and cream
taken and tested for the per cent of
fat. In all cases, both the specific
gravity and the per cent Of fat were
up to the legal standard. In some
cases the milk was found to have a
deposit of dirt in the bottom of the
bottle denoting carelessness in hand
ling.
Following the test, each dairy was
visited and thorough inspection Civ
en- as to the sanitary conditions of
the barns, milk houses, water supply,
general health of the cows, as indicat-
ed by the general appearance of the
animals. and the methods employed
In handling the milk. The conditions
found ranged from good to very poor.
In some cases the conditions were so
unsanitary that the dairymen were
ordered to tear away their present
buildings, and build new.
'In all cases improvements were
pointed out which must be made.
Each dairyman was given a written
order to make the necessary improve
ments and a time limit which ranged
from fifteen to 80 days, was given in
which to comply with the order In
case of failure to carry out these or
ters, the products of such dairymen
will be prohibited from bein~ sold.
Next week Mr.. Bothell will ma'-n an
inspection of these dairies where cream
is being produced for butter manufac-
ture.

NEW TARIFF BILL, WITH REFER
ENcE TO RATES, COMPLETED
LAST NIGHT.
REPORT BILL next TUESDAY
Chairman Declares Changes Are More
General Than Those Made by House
Committee-RaiIs Como in for In.
crease-Protests on Hosiery Effect
Continuance Of DinsIey Schedule.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The sem
ate tariff bill. so far as rates are con-
cerned, was completed tonight, but it
was decided that in making a report
Chairman Aldrich will announce a
reservation on certain important
schedules for future action. These res
ervations will include hides, steel rails,
wood pulp and crude petroleum.
Chairman Aldrich asserted tonight
that the senate committee had made d
more general revision of rates than
was done by the house committee OH
ways and means, and that reductions
had been made on greater number
Of articles. This will not mean that
there would be reduction of revenues
but there would be recommended a
bonafide revision downward of the
tariff.
The great number of changes which
vii be recommended are due largely
to the fact that while the Payne bill
revised rates on certain basic articles
the revision did not extend to related
articles. For instance. lead ore was
reduced in the Payne bill and the sew
eral manufactures of lead ore remain
unchanged.
General Reductions.
The senate committee made general
reductions in these manufactures in
harmony with the reduction in un-
worked material.
Similar changes were made in many
schedules, which will account for the
many amendments which will be pre-
sented in the senate.
In the report which will be made to
the senate hides will go on the free
list as provided by the Payne bill, but
the question of fixing a rate in ac-
cordance with the sentiment of the
senate as expressed through cam
vass taken by western senators will
be taken up in the near future.
Protests made by heavy importers
pf gloves and hosiery against the in
crease made by the Payne bill over the
exist ting Dingley rates as well as pro-
tests made by hundreds of women
throughout the country, induced the
senate committe to agree to recon-
mend continuance of the Dingley
rates.
Present indications are that the
committee will report the bill to the
senate on Tuesday next.
The bills administrative features
in all probability will not be reported
for another week or more.

THEATRICAL FIGHT BIG.
Erlaneer Refuses to Make Statement
Upon Return From Europe.

NEW YORK, April 10.A. l.. Erlanger,
of Klaw & Erlanger, theatrical man
ayers. arrived last night from Europe.
He declined to make any statement
regarding the recent announcement by
the Shuberts that they had withdrawn
from the Theatrical Managers asso-
citation. This move by the Shuberts, it
is thought, may prove preliminary to
what by May 1 may becemoe the big
gest financial contest in the history of
the American stage.
Mr.. Erlanger announced that a state
ment in regard to the situation would
be issued from his New York offices
shortly.
1t is stated that the particular dis
pute which brought about the sever
ence Of all connections between the
Shuberts and the theatrical syndicate
occurred this week in Philadelphia.

CIubw0men Meet at Luncheon
When Billboard Cupids Have
Yielded to Lobsters
Boost" Central Theme of Their
Talk, Urged in Clever Adj
dresses and Poems

The members of the outdoor art
league of the California club gathered
at a downtown cafe yesterday after
noon to celebrate at an elaborate
luncheon the triumph of the artistic or
humanitarian appeal which they made
to the proprietor of the cafe recently
when they induced him to change the
form of his advertisements. He had
placed on the city's billboards a huge
poster. showing a chef serving a rosy
cupid on a platter. This proved so
shocking to the members of the league
that they deputized Mrs. A. c. Kellogg
TO expostulate for them. This she did
to such good effect that the Cupid was
replaced by brown turkey or a scar
let lobster on the platter.
The toasts yesterday, with Mrs. KEEL
logg acting as postmaster were
either discourses upon Cupid or were
boosts"
PICKS CUPID TO PIECES
Mrs. Kellogg was amusingly intro
duced by the president of the league,
Mrs. Lowell White, who gave a scien-
tifc dissertation upon Cupid, his
power, his delights, his shortcomings
and the good and bad results of his in
fluence.
Mrs. North Whitcomb was then in
troduced by Mrs. Kellogg and gave one
Of the amusing little speeches which
have come to be known among the
clubwomen of the city as "Whitcomb-
isms' Mrs. William Limbaugh then
read a clever poem, describing Mrs.
Kellogg's easy victory; Mrs. Josephine
Crowley read paper on some of the
knocks that were BOOSTS after which
Mrs. A. d. sharon read a paper of more
than ordinary value on Boosts" in
which she traced the course of some of
the most famous boosters of classic and
historic times and even showed that
the animal kingdom mad its boosters.
In closing she impressed upon the
members the necessity of boosting the
dictrine of the league that "a thing of
beauty is joy forever"
HAD CHILDREN SING BOOST
Miss Ida Kervan read aother poem
it was a great afternoon for poetry
which was a boost for san Francisco
and recounted the achievements, ac-
uuirements. superior qualifications and
fascinations of the city. She then in
troduced Miss Estelle Carpenter, who
told how she boosted the city imme-
diateIy after the fire by gathering the
children together to sing the song,
sSan Francisco Forever" Others who
read poems or made impromptu
speeches were Mrs. E. L. Baldwin, Mrs.
E. p. Buckingham, Miss Lenore Crou-
dace and Mrs. Louis Hertz.
About 65 guests were seated at the
two long tables, which were quantity
decorated with vegetables carved into
grotesque and amusing shapes. to-
gether with yellow chrysanthemums
and the scarlet toyon berries.
