RED LIGHT HAS GONE
OUT IN PASC0 TOWN
Women of the Underworld Are Warn
ed to Leave, and Go Before Law
Is Put in Force by the
Officers.

PASCO, Wash, May 19.-(Special)
Like a clap of thunder from a clear
sky, the women of the underworld of
Pasco were apparently given notice to
leave town, at late hour last night.
by the powers that be. Just who is
back Of the movement, no one seems
to know However the matter came
up in a recent session of the city coun-
ell a few nights ago, whe Chief DAN
lies attorney advised the council that
there was no ordinance providing for
a restricted district in Pasco. And
that the state laws prohibited sudh
places. The town clerk was instruct
ed to take the matter up with the
county attorney. When seen this af-
ternoon. Prosecuting AtSGr41y Hin
man. said that he had taken on ac-
ton in the matter as yet.
1t seems to be the impression here
today that Chief Daniles has given the
girls quiet tip to leave town, before
any action was taken by the county S
prosecutor. There is much specula-
ton regarding the outcome of the
movement.

SUGAR TRUST
ARRA|GNEDON
SENATE FLOOR
The Most Scathing Criticism
Ever Delivered in
Upper House.
CLAY
ROASTS TARIFF
incidentally He Takes a
Shot at Author of
Present Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The most
scathing arraignmentS that the sugar
trust has ever been subjected to on the
floor of congress was delivered in the
senate today by Senator Clay, of
Georgia, during the debate on the su-
gar schedule of the pending tariff bill
"The sugar trust" he declared, "has
constantly violated both the civil and
criminal laws of our country. 1t is un-
considerable and has continually
robbed the American people since it's
organization. Instead of knocking at
the door of congress seeking to in
crease it's fortunes at the expense or
the masses Of the people, it's officers
ought to be at the bar of the criminal
courts, and instead of enjoying their
ill gotten wealth they deserve to be
serving long terms in our federal pris-
ons.
every day in the year since it was
organized, the sugar trust has violated
the criminal laws passed by congress
to protect the American people against
these unlawful and wicked combina-
tions. The trust has filched the treas
ury of the United States out of more
than ten millions of revenue that just
ly belonged to the treasury of the
United States, needed to pay the legi-
innate expenses of the government"
Referring to the recent revelations OF
fraud in connection with the weighing
of sugar at the New York customs
house, Senator Clay continued:
''The public press has announced
that the sugar trust has paid into the
treasury more than $2,000,000, of which
large sum it's officers and agents had
robbed the treasury of the United
States. Suit is now pending in New
Jersey against this trust to recover
million of dollars for revenues due the
government, and it is admitted by the
officers of this company, including its
counsel, that this unprincipled organ
ization has robbed the American peo-
pie of this vast sum which they are
now trying to compromise. The trust
deserves no mercy at the hands or
congress and most assuredly no IA
vors at the hands of congress. The
criminal and civil law ought to be rig
orously enforced against it, and the
best way to destroy it is to give IT
healthy foreign competition.
LET us give to the American people
cheap sugar. Let us grasp the sugar
trust by the throat and strangle it to
death and keep in view the interest,
the happiness, and welfare of the plain
people of America.
.eWe must remember that sugar is
an important article of food daily
consumed by every man, woman ana
child in the country. This being true,

Multimillionaire Is Stricken
Suddenly in His New
York Home.
APOPLEXY GIVEN
AS THE CAUSE
Was Director and a Large
Stakeholder in the
Standard Oil.

NEW YORK, May 1s-H. H
Rogers, one of the leading multimil-
lionaires of the Rockefeller group, died
this morning. 1t was not known that
Rogers was i'll, as he was at his office
yesterday. His death came as a shock
to his associates. Apoplexy was an
nounced as the cause.
He was stricken at $50 o'clock this
morning and was unconscious for some
time before his death.
DR.. Fuller, the nearest doctor, re-
sponded to the call in his night
clothes. He saw there was no hope
of saving his life. He had been in
poor health for several years. Two
years ago he suffered nervous COL
lapse, resulting in rumor that he had
been stricken by paralysis.
Rogers retired for a time. but after
regaining some of his health, returned
to his financial operations. He re-
Gently withdrew from active connec-
ton with the Standard Oil, of which
he was vice president director and
one of the heaviest stockholders.
He then devoted his attention to the
construction Of the Virginia railroad
from the coal fields to the tidewater.
After completing the road, which was
one of the most remarkable lines ever
built, Rogers returned to New York,
from Norfolk.
A month ago he went to his sum-
mer home at Fairhaven. He rested
there a short time and then returned
here to resume his business affairs.
1t is known that Rogers fortune
amounted to $5O,OOO,OO0. His biggest
gifts consisted of $3,0O0,O00 spent in
the erection of library and school at
Fairhaven. He also gave that city
many miles of paved streets and was
it's liberal benefactor in many ways.
Rogers was SO years old. He was
born in Fairhaven, Mass. Fifty years
ago he sold newspapers at New Bed
ford, Mass.
He began his career as a clerk in
his fathers general store. He started
towards wealth when oil was discov-
cred in Pennsylvania.

BITTER STATEMENT
Spreckles Takes a Hand in
the Controversy and
Talks to Rogers.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19-"The
bars are down and we are trying to

Heney at Earl Rogers, of the defense,

Heneys outburst was occasiOned by

Spreckles, on the stand yesterday,

The exhibit in question was a tran
script of the previous testimony of
Spreckles. Heney objected to it's in
PRODUCTION and to it's being identified
as an official document.
Spreckles was on the stand a shore
time today. The line of questioning
today was calculated to draw out far

money he spent upon graft prosecu-
ton. When asked for a complete
statement of the sums he announced
that he would soon have them. He
was dismissed after being asked TO

Merry Widow Will Be Staged
in an Artistic Manner by
Managers of Kirmess..

About Is days remain in which to
complete arrangements for the big k1r-
mess entertainment which Walla Walla
women have undertaken for the benefit
of the new city park. Practically all
details have been decided and it only
remains for the different committees
appointed to work them out.
Eight dances are included in the pro-
gram, representing as many different
countries, and each dance includes Is
or 20 people with all the frills and fur
bellows requisite ITO attract large

This dance is taken from the Merry
Widow" opera with the beginning OF
the second act where the widow, Sonia,
invites all the people to- garden party
and stipulates that real Marsovian
dress be worn. For this particular
dance the costumes will come direct
from New York, made especially for
Miss Stewart by Kohler & Co. of New
York and are copied from the real
Marsovian gown worn by one of the
women in the Merry Widow when it
was first given in New York city.
For the girls the skirts are of black
satin embroidered in gold, worn with
two coats, one white applique in pure
gold, the other black and gold. The
one is worn, over the other. A beauti-
full rich oriental sash with correspond
ing caps will complete the gorgeous
attire of the Roumanian girls.
The mems costumes are copies of
the famous robe of Prince Danelo, and
consist of white military coats, red
trousers and top boots.
