PRESIDENT WOULD
COME WEST
PROVIDING CONGRESS SHOULD
PAY TRAVELLING EXPENSES
TAFT WILL VISIT BOTH SPO-
KANE AND SEATTLE.

Washington, April 19.-Following
his belief that the chief executive of
the nation should keep in as close
touch with the people as his duties
and requirements of Office admit,
President Taft will, if congress will
provide the necessary funds, make
several months tour covering the
west and Alaska. This summer he
will spend a month or two at his
summer home at Woodbury. Point,
Beverly, Mass He will devote most
of his vacation golfing and motoring,
and perhaps take short cruise
along the northern coast. The re-
assembled Atlantic fleet of sixteen
battleships will vancouver of the
New England coast during the sum-
mer, and the president will undoubt-
eily want to see some of the work.
If Taft goes west at all he will in
clude Alaska in the journey, sailing
from Seattle. No president ever Wis
tied the far northern territory OF
the United States The president is
particularly anxious to attend the
following gatherings: Annual en-
campment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic at Salt Lake City. Trans
Mississippi Congress, Denver; Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, Spokane;
Alaska-Yukon-Paci exposition, Sc
attic. In addition to the prepared
trip to the Pacific coast, Taft's ten
tative plans include a long swing
through the southwest and the heart
of the south itself. Mrs. Taft, who
is as fond of travel as her husband.
would accompany the president on
the trip.

RAISING FERGUSON
BUILDING

Hiram Hart has been a very busy
man since his arrival here several
months ago. He is now engaged in
raising the Ferguson building to
grade and besides elevating the
building he has raised "A feet of
stone wall. This work has been pro-
crossing for the past several weeks
and without any inconvenience to the
tenants of the building. Mr.. Hart
has all the tools and paraphernalia
necessary for this work and besides
his work on the Ferguson building
has recently had several removal jobs,
taking the Halbert building from its
location on the corner to the block
south of the courthouse. He has also
raised the F. NJ. Tupper house TO
grade on Chelan avenue.
From the changing of grade in this
city and the many frame buildings
that are to be removed here, Mr..
Hart will doubtless have his hands

JURY
SECURED
ASSAULT CASE IN
WHICH PRINCE ATKINSON IS
PRINCIPAL NOW BEING TRIED
IN SUPERIOR COURT.

A jury was secured this morning
in the case Of the State VS.. Prince L..
Atkinson, charged with criminal as
sault on Mary Hanigsman, a girl of
tender years. The regular jury panel
was exhausted Friday and new
panel summoned but a trial jury was
secured this morning by 10 o'clock,
and evidence is being taken.
Prosecuting Attorney Kemp and
Deputy Ludington are appearing for
the state and Attorneys Parr and
Thomas represent the defendant.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed last fall and Atkinson,
Earl Vachon, Pearl Smock and Mary
Hanigsman were supposedly the prin-
cipals in a decidedly salacious scan
jal. The Smock girl was sent to the
reform school; Vachon is a fugitive
from justice; Atkinson is on trial for
the crime and Mary Hanigsman is ap-
pearing against Atkinson. Her testi-
mony this morning is not considered
very damaging, however, to Atkin-
son, but on the contrary is very
weak. Pearl Smock has been sub
poenaed from the reform school as
witness for Atkinson.
The jury in the case is composed
of H. M. Law, A. J. Miller, Robert
Gaines, I. A. Larsen, c. H. Lodge,
Frank Padoshek, Moses Haller, S. R.
Hanan, George J. Miller, E. G. Moe,
William Kinney, J. M. Brownfield.

BASE BALL
THE TOUTED RAILROADERS OF
COLUMBIA SIDING NOT IN 1T
WITH FAST TEAM OF WENAT.
CHEZ BASEBALL TOSSERS.

The ball game at the ball park
yesterday was a sort of farce.
There was a good crowd present with
the expectation of seeing fast
game, as the Railroaders of Colum-
bia siding had freely advertised the
fact that their team contained a
number of ex-leaguers, with the ex-
ception of Farrell, pitcher, and Hurd,
third baseman.
The team was pitiably weak, the
score stood something like Is to 2
in favor of Wenatchee.
One of the features of the game
was the umpiring of Attorney Gold
man, a recent arrival here from the
south. 1t is very evident that he is
no novice in the fine points of the
national game.
The game demonstrated that We
natchee has the material for a first
class ball team. Tyrrell and Whis-

EultOT Daily world.
The publication of another letter
from Mr.. Fuller has caused me to
come again. and although the dust
occasioned by his letter is much less
dense than his first, must apply
the sprinkler at least once more.
I note that he is still very much
exercised over the fact that the
money to be obtained by bond issue
is to be placed at the disposal of the
council. Many readers are at loss
to know why he is so insistent on
this point, but those who are famil-
lar with city matters and especially
the acts Of the council of two years
ago, when Mr.. Fuller was a leading
member of that body and, by the
way, one who took a very leading
part, are not lacking for an answer
1t was the council, if you please,
that occasioned the present city war
rant Indebtedness, and occasioned it
without the sanction of the people,
1t was the council that built the jail
at a cost of some $500; bought a
park at a cost of $1,000; graded and
sidewalked the only street in the city
that could be improved at the ex-
pense of the general fund entirely,
and was not an important street
either; bought another street at
cost of 5000 and bought and expend-
ed many more hundreds of dollars
not properly classed as general ex-
pense of the city, amounting in all
to some $4,000 to $4,000.
want it distinctly understood that
1 am not criticizing all of these ex-
penditures, but I do want to know
why in the name of high heaven the
now much exercised godfather of the
city did not appeal to the dear peo-
pie then, and have it particularly
specified how much and for what
purpose each and every cent should
be expended? Why was not that the
proper time for him to show him
self a true friend of the city? And
would it not have been a good stroke
of business for him as member Of
that worthy council to have, at least,
asked for a bond issue in order to
do those things so necessary, and
have used 4 or 5 per cent money
instead of piling up a warrant debt,
which bears per cent, for succeed
ing councils to dispose of as best

LYNCHED FOUR MEN
fBy Associated Press.)

Ada, Okla, April 19.-Eariy this
morning mob stormed the county
jail here. overpowering the sheriff,
and lynched four white men. The
lynched were J. B. Miller, Fort
Worth, Texas, charged with murder
of A. A. Bobbitt, a wealthy cattle
man; E. E. Brown, Jesse West and
Joseph Allen, alleged accomplices.
The mob worked rapidly. The VIC
Tins were taken to a barn a short
distance from the jail. Bring a
rope" shouted the leader, and one
by one the men were hanged.
The sheriff was knocked senseless
by blow from revolver in the
hands of one of the mob before the
mob secured the victims.
Walter Peeler, aged II, a nephew
of Miller, who was confined in the
gail charged with completely in the
murder, was not molested by the
lynchers. He turned states evidence
a week ago and was being held as
a witness. The electric light wires
were cut and the city was in COM

SUP'T BROWN WAS
REELECTED
HIGH SCHOOL BOARD RETAINS
PRESENT SUPERINTENDENT
AND A GREAT MANY OF PRES
ENT CORPS OF TEACHERS.

At meeting of the school board
held last week, Supt. A. L. Brown
was reelected for the coming year
J. H. McGohan, the present principal
of the Lewis-Clark building, was Sc
lected as principal of the high school.
Other high school teachers selected
were as follows: Cora NJ. Cotton,
Olga Todd, Leslie Rosser, Nellie v.
Jones.
Other teachers reelected were as
follows: Misses Esta Miner and
Leila Biglow, for many years en-
ployed in the city schools, but they
wer given a leave of absence for one
year; F. B. Nonce, Carrie E. Hoff-
man, Gertrude Walsh, Bertha Gold
ing, Pearl Hasness, Isabella Byron,
Mary Mcdonald, Katheryn White
head, Mona E. Williams, Elizabeth
Hill, Amanda Palmquist, Carl Gus
ler, Ohio, Jessie Wenner, Viletta
Guthrie, Myrtle Hill.
With the exception of Carl Gusler
of Ohio, there have been no new
teachers employed. The board will
take up the application Of large
number of outsiders some time this
week.
Superintendent Brown, who has
been reelected, has given the city
schools very excellent service and is
a man of very high attachments. The
schools under the administration of
Professor Brown rank inferior to no
schools of the state.
James III. McGohan, who was
elected principal of the high school,
received his education at the Ma
tional Normal University at Leba-
non, Ohio, under Alfred Holbrook,
the founder of normal schools and
the author of Holbrook's grammar
and other educational works, notice
of whose death was received by the
Press Saturday. Mr.. Nc
Gohan also received the degree of
bachelor of pedagogy at the Chicago
National University. He has had "a
years experience, three years as
of Willow Dell Academy at
Elizaville. KY.
It is understood that five of the
young lady teachers at present en-
ployed, did not present their applica-
tions for reelection, owing to the fact
that they are expecting to undertake
domestic life.

they may? And 1 might say with
the opposition rather than the CO.
operation of our friend who assisted
very materially in the incurring Of
the debt?
In view of the fact that these rec
ords are so recent, why would it not
look better if some one else would
question the propriety of the bond
issue? Talk about stepping on tackss
Tacks have long been used for the
purpose of mailing scalps to the wall
to dry.
Certainly we are in favor of a free
discussion of the city's business, but
we will insist on including other ai-
ministratiOns, too, and would prefer
in the future to discuss it with some
one who has better right to talk.
We are agreed that the general ex-
pense of the city is increasing, and
no one questions that, nor the justi-
fication for it, or ever has. The
legitimate income is increasing, also,
but Mr.. Fuller omits to say anything
about that, preferring rather to i'm
ply that we are going to the eternal
bOw-wows unless that much coveted
license money is taken, even after
admitting that we are right. The
so-called "cold figures" at the city
clerks Office do not disclose any dis
paraging aspect, as the year is al
most one-third gone and the receipts
are in excess of disbursements by
nearly $1,000. The revenue from
taxes alone is some $4,50O more, or
nearly twice what it was for the year
1907, which year he has seen fit to
quote as to expenditures, but not as
to revenues.
What if the council should see fit
to take up these old warrants, occa-
stoned by Mr.. Fuller ct al, with a
part of the bond money, Immediately
after the bond issue and then issue
new ones if it be found necessary,
as they are needed to complete the
contemplated improvements? Would
that not be good business? Better
do that than to have the money lying
in the bank drawing interest and do
ing no good and paying 8 per cent
interest on those old warrants at the
same time.
With this final analysis I am will
ing to leave the matter for the peo-
pie to Judge.

Constantinople, April 19.-It is
expected in Constantinople that the
main body of troops loyal to the
young Turks that have concentrated
outside of Constantinople will begin
soon to march across the country on
Yildiz Kiosk with the object of fore
ing the abdication of the Sultan. The
troops loyal to the young Turks con-
tinued their advance on CONSTANT
nople last night, and it is believed
her that they soon will occupy Max
rikeny, a town ten miles from the
capital. The foreign and official
quarters in Constantinople will prob
ably be occupied by troops for the
protection of their interests.
Leaders of the young Turks have
issued orders that the lives and prop
erty of all foreigners and Chris
tians in Constantinople must be ade-
quately protected.

Berlin, April 49, A German
squadron has been ordered to Con-
stantinople.
A dispatch from Constantinople to
the Lokal Anzeiger says the situation
is extremely serious. A general mas
sacre can only be prevented by the
speediest dispatch of the Salonikon
troops. The sentiment of the troops
in the city is turning against the pal
ace. When a deputation of pacifica-
ton from Constantinople greeted
Mukhtar Bey, in command of the ad-
vance guard of the Salonikans, he
asked gruffly: Have you brought
the head of the old man? We can
not negotiate as long as you come
without that head"
The deputation consisted of thirty
men who wanted to proceed to Sal
onika but was compelled to return
her under the penalty of being shot
if they attempted to get in touch
with the soldiers.

CARNEGIE SYSTEM

An extraordinary insight into the
n Carnegie system of philanthropy
IA is given by writer in the Sat-
urday Evening Post, who evidently
knows what he is writing about. He
says:
'Mr. Carnegies philanthropy is high
ly commercialized, for he seldom gives
unless the recipient can give a similar
sum. Equal sympathy for all, special
favors for none, is his motto. Although
the Carnegie library business is not a
charity, some idea of the conduct of
it will give a hint of the way the steel
master conducts his philanthropy, and
of his correspondence.
There is no sentiment about it; it is
a business proposition pure and simple.
Almost any community can get IL
brary If 1t fulflls the business condi-
tions imposed by Mr.. Carnegie. The
moment the letter comes in 1t becomes
part of a system. Printed forms are
sent to be filed in with definite facts
about the city or village. Mr. Car
negie judges the amount of the giet
for the library by the population. He

IMMORTALITY

DEAN HODGES goes to the root of
the matter in his paper on the
~ Expectation of Immortality" 1t
is a subject that is seldom discussed
intelligently by those from whom one
would expect intelligent discussion. To
some people it is easy to believe In
immortality. To others it is difficult,
although why it should be any hard
er to believe in a life hereafter than in
the life here passes comprehension.
Intelligent human life on this earth
is as wonderful a phenomenon and as
great a miracle as it could possibly be
under any other circumstances or in
any other world or condition. If death
is a mystery, so is intelligent life. Re-
gard life from an absolutely material
list basis, and it is a puzzle. Regard
it from the rational point of view as
an incomplete and bounded existence
which after a change is to be followed
by life more abundant, and glimmer
of light illumines the darkness. This
present existence, with all its sorrows
and hardships, is the mystery. Death
is the explanation.
Thomas Edison says nobody knows
a seven biilionth of one per cent about
anything and boots at the ignorance
of the materialists. No one is more
positive than the man who denies be-
cause he does not know. But such
one, as an instructor, is impossible"
That is why it is strange that other
wise intelligent people should bestow
any attention or appreciation on mere
negationists.
When they allow such to be their
teachers, is it not a case of the blind
leading the blind? Shall they not both
fail into ditch?
BY teaching Immortality Jesus made
life a reasonable end logical phenom-
enon, and that is why so much scien-
tif1c progress has been made in coun-
tries in which there is Christianity.
The overwhelming weight of evil
dence is in favor of the belief the coun-
tries "quiekened" by the spirit are
successful, progressive: and their best
and most unselfish people are living
in the very ante-room of immortality.
"I am the bread of LIFE" said
Jesus. He that cometh to me shall
never hunger: and he that believeth
on me shall never thirst. l came
down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Fathers will which
hath sent me. that of all which he
hath given me 1 should lose NOTHING,
but should raise it up again at the
last day. And this is the will of him
that sent me, that every one which
seeth the Son and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life: and L will
raise him up at the last day"

HARBOR PILOTS

~ ECRETARY FLEMING'S plan to
beautify the harbor and reserve
~ bathing beach at Terminal Is
land is excellent, provided that, as he
suggests, Terminal Island is not too
valuable to be used for such pur-
pose We think it not improbable it
will be too valuable.
Mr.. Fleming has called attention to
one feature in connection with the har-
Dor ABOUT which The Herald had some
thing to say long before consolidation
was accomplished.
AT that time The Herald pointed out
the question of pilotage would surely
come up for settlement, and we agree
with Mr.. Fleming 1t should be settled
as soon as possible, in order that what
we may call the advertising prestige"
of the harbor may not be affected
prejudicially. Mr.. Fleming in an in
terview said a vessel with cargo of
steel had refused to enter the harbor
because of the pilotage, and went to
Redondo instead. We will have to give
good service to attract shipping inter-
ests, just as hotel must cater to it's
patrons. Adequate facilities must be
provided, and captains must be made
to feel they are welcome. So accessible
is the harbor of Greater Los Angeles
when compared with that of San Fran
cisco that if there should be any diff
ferences in the charges for pilotage IL
should be in favor of San Pedro.
"If it were not for the requirements
of the insurance companies" says MIR.
Fleming, there would hardly be any
necessity for pilots at the local harbor.
/ am not sure but it would be good
plan to have the city provide pilots and
pay them a regular salary for their
work, and vessels entering or leaving
could use them or not as they saw fit"
1t goes without saying the appoint
fnents of pilots would be made on ths
merits, records and qualifications Of
applicants. Political pilots are un-
| thinkable.
