THE CRIMINALS GETAWAY

From time immemoria the criminal has sought to elude
The meshes of the aw he has carefully planned in advance
all the details of his crime to the most minutes he
has mapped out the pathway of and has left moth
ing unone to his tracks to and from the of
his misdeed.
And vet he invariably leaves clew often slight
and unnoceabe the hinnest thread of spider web
but still clew.
of murder and theft but that they unsoved is
due the lack of ability interest upon the part
of the officers Of the law than to especial genius on
the criminals part in the matter OF covering up his
crime.
Murder will OUT has been on the tip of the worlds
tongue for centuries.
Every criminal leaves his teltae marks somewhere and
the possessor of keen and watcful eye will track
the evil doer to his lair every time
Few criminals have gone to the lengths to conceal his
crime and make his escape as has done Dr. Crppen.
Shrewd alert minor details with plenty Of time in
which to commit the crime and conceal it, his shrewdness
vanished when he to the third step-escape Know
ing that the police of the world looking for him and
a woman companion it is amazing that he should have
continued with her. That she in masculine garb
makes it all the because there is not one woman
in hundred thousand who carry through the deceit
And to be with attlred was as 1t turned
out in Crppen to excite instant suspicion. Had he
maintained his original cunning he rather would have
compelled her to take different boat at the least
have insisted upon her buying her ticket at Antwerp
and going aboard lone female remaining aoof from
him until after the journey ended.
The same we'll laid plans went to naught in the little
Kelner girl S murder at Louisville time since Wend-
ling. the slayer of the small child, traed half
of the United States followed by the mistakes and errors
that criminal is certain to leave he ees from the law
The last chapters what promised to be two exceptions
to the rule that murder will OUT have been written
They both emphasize the fact that somewhere in the ge

lOus and silly that attracts attention. and he's lucky
exception indeed, if his mistake doesn t land him quickly

He was the worst boy in school, she the teacher.
She angered by his stubbornness he defiant.
She took him to the hall for punishment. Angry she
administered the penalty and-then, somehow great
wave Of pity for the boy swept over her.
She looked at the woout coat of the little fellow; she
thought of the ra body deprived of nourshng ood she
thought of the hard and oveess home and of the starved
soul of the poor kid.
Tears spang the teachers eyes the boy waited for
further punishment Then he the tears. His eyes
grew moist and overlooked.
Thinking of how the poor boy had chance in an
impulse Of tenderness she put her around the boy,
and they cried together.
That is religion.
She and the boy both found it.

WOMAN'S PARK CLUB OBJECTS
TO USE OF CASH ON e. MAIN
Say City Should Have Paid for Park
ing Out Of General Fund, Not
Park Fund.

A regular meeting of the members
Of the Woman's Park club is to be
held this afternoon at 8 o'clock at the
Y. M. c. A., when special business Of
interest to each member will come up
for consideration. Owing to the de-
mand for the childrens' playground at
the park it has been decided to employ
a person who will have nothing else to
do than look after the children and
their wants. Some one who will have
this duty to look after will doubtless
be chosen this afternoon. 1t is under
stood several applications have been
received. Besides this the matter of
securing additional ground for parks
in the city will come up for considera-
ton and it may be possible that some
tracts will be decided upon to convert
into park grounds,
The members of the Park club were
surprised to learn that the $50 neces-
sary for the Improvement of the park
ing on East Main street was taken
from the park fund. The ladies main
tain tHdI Willie lHey toOk over the
parkings of the entire city it was only
for the purpose of caring for and set
ting out new trees, but not for the
purpose of making parking. The
members of the club say that the
money appropriated by the city is not
sufficient to care for the present
grounds as we'll as additional grounds
and that the money for the East Main
street improvement should have been
taken from the general fund, if no pro-
vision was made for it when the as
esslnent district was first created. The
club would be glad to look after the
additional funds would.

evening was one of those ENJOYABLE
affairs seldom equalled other than
those given by the ladies. Though
the ball was given little publicity the
mere announcement that the Relief
society was to give 1t was sufficient
to assure good attendance. The hal,
was given for the purpose of raising
suff1clent funds to complete the men,
orial fountain the Relief society is to
give the Park. When the society first
decided on giving the fountain it was
thought there were sufficient funds to
meet all expenses but all money was
exhausted when the fountain was laid
down in Walla Walla The ball last
night was given in an effort to raise
the required amount In this they were
successful as only $3.50 was needed and
this sum was realized The fountain
will in all probability be completed
within the next two weeks as work
on the concrete work is already pro-
crossing.

The automobile was brought from

Lewiston men had given it to him to
sell. Brown did sell it to Skinner. for
something like $500. Then he turn
ed in a bill for repairs to the owners
that more than ate up the price, and

instructed Brown to get a certain
amount net for them. This, he
claims. was not in the contract
Brown was arrested for stealing the
machine and bound over to the SUI

not because he stole the machine, but
because the judge thought he had not
properly disposed of the money. The
suit was then dismissed by Prescott

Argue Whitman
Bill in Senate

WASHINGTON, d. C. April s.
If Senator Jones bill authorizing the
sale of Fort Wialla Wal a to Whitman
college at $3.50 an acre is passed by
both houses this session, the college
will have until January 1, 1911, to pay
over the $4,000; otherwise the option
will lapse and new legislation will be
necessary.
Senator Burkett, in objecting to the
Whitman college bill, says that in view
of the fact that the government only
three years ago erected two barracks
at Fort Walla WIalla at cost of $780,
900, it might in the near future de-
termine to revive Walla WaIla as a
military post. He therefore believed
it would be inadvisable to sell the land
to the college
Senator Jones. in answer to Burk-
EFT. dec AIRED that the war department
would have permanently abandoned
roit Wdiid "dlid sumo years ago Hau
not Senator Ankeny, residing at Wal
la Walla, been abe, during his term in
the sente to have the post kept up.
Now that Ankeny is no longer in the
senate the department has followed
its own inclination and he declared
that it would never again station
troops at Walla Wal a.
