No provision was made for another

The adjournment, it is declared,
does not mean necessarily a suspen-

present contract, April I. This would
affect all bituminous districts control
led by the United Mine Workers, as
they decreed at their Indianapolis con-
vention that no district should sign
wage scale until the scales for all
districts were negotiated. Both sides
have declared, however, that they will
not recede on the Illinois proposition.
Some plan may be worked out to
get the miners an operators together
again before April 1. 1t may be call
for another convention or the selec-
ton of a representative scale commit

A meeting of the international eX-
ecutive board of the miners was called

MARTINEZ HANDICAP ENCS

the running Of the Martinez hartlicaF
at Emeryville today Jockeys r. Mar
tin and Eddie Taplin engaged in
fight in the paddock. Martin won the
event on Binocular by narrow mar
gin from Raleigh T. D., ridden By Tap
lin. In the stretch Martin was hit with
the whip by Taplin. The latter rid
er made claim of foul as Martin
had him in close quarters. The boys
argued the matter on the way to the
Jockeys room and when the paddock
was reached Martin stepped up be-
hind Taplin and struck him. TapiiS
then struck his .assailant and dislOcat-
ed two of his own fingers. The mat
ter was promptly reported to the slew
ards who suspended Martin for ter
racing days with the exception OF the
Schneider stable mounts and finee
Taplin $50. Taplin was unable 10 ride

Maud Powell.

Maud Powell, who appeared at the
Keylor Grand last night, is truly one
of the greater yioliniSts that has ever
appeared in Walla Walla. She is said
to be the greatest living woman vio-
iinist. and her playing seems to just
ifv this. although Leonora Jackson is
the ONLY other violinist of note who has
over been here. Miss Powell far
surpasses Miss Jackson. and this is
not detracting a thing from the ability
of the latter, either.
The audience, while not a record
breaker. was large, and was well en-
tertained during the whole program
From first to last she was mistress
of her instrument. and played In a
way that swayed her audience as much
us ever did a speaker.
She is impecable in information Her
how produces tone and nothing more.
Her dexterities are means, not ends.
Added to all this perfection OF tech
,ic she is a stylist She plays with
hher whole heart. To her every note
must be of supreme concern. There
is no mental lethargy about Miss
Powell: she never knows anything Wen
enough merely to play it. Her audi
ence does not yawn and study its pro-
gram and wonder how long before
sha will have done. Miss Powell cap
tivated the audience from her first APP
pearance and encore after encore was
demanded and given with a charming
grace that won great favor. MISS
PowelFs magical work endeared her
TO the audience and thoroughly con-
yerted the ancient idea that men have
monopoly of the violin. She dis
plays such thorough mastery of the
instrument, delicacy of touch, dexterlty
and superb technicality that she Is
easily entitled to the high position
she has won in musical circles

Unique Turn at Majestic.

For years performers i'll all lines
have been searching and raking the
ground over and over for new and
novel ideas in vaudeville.
Fred Stansfield, who is at the Ma
jestic this week, has certainly struck
upon novelty. His impersonation
away from anything ever before seen
in Walla Walla. 1t is a study of an
old time southern character. These
old circuit riders Gas they used to
be called) were seen only at the
country school houses. They repre-
scented no certain denomination. 1t
was just meeting at the school
mouse and everyone for miles around
would turn out and listen to the
words of the old parson. These old
fellows were queer and quaint and
thought nothing of taking a chew of
tobacco during their sermons. Mr..
Stansfield does not inted to be sacre-
Iigious. to ridicule religion or make
sport of ministers of the gospel. The
idea is to show what can be done by
defamation. He opens the services
with hymn, reads a chapter and
breaches a sermon using nothing but
the names of the &c letters of the
alphabet.
Opie Ried in his stories of southern
life. describes these old school house
preachers and MIR. Stansf1eld has
travelled through the south purposely
making study of them. Consequent
ly it is true to life and the act goes
we'll.

The night session lasted only short
time. AS none had anything to say
the futility of continuing the session
was expressed by President Lewis.
His suggestion for diviging the re-
sponsibility for adjournment was fol-
lowed. A delegate from the miners
moved to adjourn and one from the
operators seconded it. A call by states
resulted in the only unanimous vote
recorded in the meeting today.
The deadlock was brought about by
division on all points between the
miners and operators voting by states
The miners refused to agree to seat
ing delegates from other states unless
the Illinois miners were included. The
rules require a unanimous vote on
each proposition.
The operators stood firm on the
ground that the Illinois operators had
notified both patries taht they were
not bound by any agreement reached
here
