lands back, thus breaking the leases,
and damaging the plaintiff, according to
the complaint, in the amounts named.

New Machine Responds to Alarm
Turned in as Test BY Chief Metz.
Those who saw the dash of the fire
auto loaded with 10 men, across Main
street to Alder and up Alder street
about 8 o'clock last night were no
longer skeptical as to the speed of the
machine over the old time horses. NOW
that the auto is in charge Of one VINO
is capable of handling it the machine
is giving satisfaction
Last night at o'clock Chief Metz
pulled the alarm box at the corner
of Alder and Clinton streets. The men,
not expecting an alarm did not make
the usual time in getting out ana
thought some part of the electrical ap-
paratus had gone wrong. This neces-
STATED a wait of 80 seconds in the
house until the box number rang In.
All men were on the wagon and as the
last number registered Captain George
Guthridge yelled: alder and Clinton,
bows" and they were off. AS the auto
shot out of the department men and
bows who had congregated to see the
start scattered. AS the machine cross
ed Main street, two street cars were
seen standing in the middle Of blocks
watching the signals.
The dash up Alder street was
thrilling one The machine with Its
searchlight piercing the darkness, tore
along at a speed of from 20 to rs miles
an hour. John Gum was at the wheel

thusiastic one and may be the result
OF Walla Walla getting some real
classy ball--a long-felt want.
The meeting was called to order
by August Babe, who was later
elected temporary chairman, while
Walter Kimmerly was chosen secre-
tary. The possibility of putting a
team in the field this year was thor
oughly discussed. r. c. Macleod
made a brief address in which ne
said the merchants of the city were
tired of having to put up money for
the independent team, and that if
only half a start was made there
had better be no effort put forth.
Stock Company Suggested.
He suggested that a good ball park
should be secured close in and equip
ped in modern method. He advo-
Gated a stock company to handle the
project, or that some private indi-
vidual take up the proposition which
he said would be bound to pay. The
trouble with parks heretofore is that
they have been either in an unde-
sirable part Of the city, or not on
a street car line.
4 lively interest in the discussion. He
also was of the opinion that person
erecting bleachers and grandstand
and fitting up ball park could make
money.
1t is a known fact that Walla Wal
la would be able to secure good
games with teams in Spokane, Pen
dleton, Portland, Tacoma and Seattle,
besides other towns of the North
west if this city was but equipped
with good park. If this city is
given good high-class baseball the
attendance will not be lacking, it was
asserted.
At the close of the meeting COM
mittee consisting Of r. C. Macleod,
William Van De Water and Ed Nc
Lean were appointed to act in con-
junction with Chairman Babe in an
effort to interest some person in the
proposition. A meeting of the COM
mittee is to be held in MacLeod's
office, Ransom building, Monday at
ternoon at 1 o'clock.

SENIORS AND FACULTY
WILL MEET TONIGHT

The last and probably the most in
teresting basketball game which has
been scheduled at Whitman college
this season will take place in the gym
nasium this evening, when the faculty
and the senior class teams will contest
for honors. Both teams are each even
ing going through hard practice and
they promise to put up a close con-
test.
The game tonight will be the first
ever played between the Professors
and the students Each year there is
contest of some kind between the
two aggregations, but this contention
for a victory has never approached the
border of basketball. Consequently
the faculty have never attempted to
develop a strong team, and the
strength with which they will come
upon the floor this evening will doubt
less be a surprise to all the spectators.
Several of the faculty members have
had considerable experience in basket
ball and they will be much harder to
defeat than the eager seniors expect
The students have agreed to hold
Barnes and Shubert, varsity players,
out of the game during the first half
intending to put them in if necessary
during the latter half. This condition
will weaken the senior quintet to
great extent.
The game, which is to be refereed by
Tom butcher, will begin promptly al
