WANT SUNDAY LID TO BE
PUT ON FREEWATER
Delegation Waits Upon Deputy Dis
trict Attorney With Complaint
AIiege Resorts Wide Open.

For the purpose of closing Free
waters near beer saloon on Sunday,
if possible, a delegation of citizens
made pilgrimage to Pendleton yes
terday. The five members of the
delegation laid their grievances before
Deputy District Attorney Steiwer and
returned to their homes in Freewater,
Sunnyside and Ferndale on the after
noon train.
prosecutor, these men will either bring
the proprietor of the near beer joint
before the justice of the peace for the
precinct in which his place is located
and endeavor to have him bound over
TO the grand jury, or they will allow
him to proceed as at present and pre-
sent their case to the grand jury when
It meets the first week in April.
The principal object Of the journey
to Pendleton was to ascertain if the
district attorneys office would back
them up in their efforts to enforce the
Sunday closing law. They were given
every assurance that the law would
be enforced if the complaints were
made and the citizens assured the
deputy prosecutor that they would
make the complaints. 1t would thus
seem that there will soon be some
thing doing in a legal way in the town
of F'reewater.
1t was alleged by members of the
delegation that the proprietor of the
drinking resort not only sells drinks,
cigars, tobacco and other things on
Sunday, but that he also conducts bill
lard, pool and other gaming tables
where minors are permitted to play.
The matter was taken up with the
town council but the majority of the
members of that body are in favor of
allowing the place to keep open on
Sunday, so no help was secured from
that quarter.

Peary May Be
ShOWn q LiQ1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Members
of the house demand that Robert E.
Peary exhibit his proofs to the world
before voting him a gold medal and
the thanks of congress. Tt was learned
today that the naval committee was
not entirely unanimous OF the propo-
sition of bestowing honors upon the
discoverer of the poe.
One of the leaders of the house
who declined to allow the use of his
name, said today that he was oppa.':o
to accepting the proofs of Mr.. Pcary
that he discovered the pole merely be-
cause the National Geographical SO
ciety had accepted them. He charged
a preconceived prejudice in favor -
Peary on the part of THE society aai
said that before congress took this
step the verdict of this society should
be confirmed by other scientific bodies
of the world.
Several members have expressed op
position of the proposed Peary non
ors and one or two have threatened
TO discuss vigorously the matter on the
floor if it is brought there.

Louis James.

Louis James has given SO many good
productions and so many commendable
Characterization in the past, that one
can hardly question any offering that
this splendid actor may announce.
Last season his Peer Gynt' was re-
ceived with apprehension but when
the fact is assured that he was one
of the few stars who returned to New
York with a big balance on the right
side of his ledger, it confirms the ar
gument that classic. when proper
ly presented and legitimately inter
preted will alweys receive a bounti-
full measure of appreciation and sup
port, irrespective of conditions and
locale.
His offering this season is revival
of Henry VIII with Mr.. James as
Wo,sey and while it has been many
years since this great drama was last
revealed it's worth, purpose and re-
suit places it among the best of

PILLOW SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT

NEW YORK, Feb 17.-Custom has
decided that a womans pillow is her
safe deposit vault at night and as
such can be considered judicially as
safe a place for the security of her
Jewels or other valuables as the VAULTS
of the United States treasury.
Justice Foster of the general SEES
sions court handed down this opinion
today in declining to return to pawn
brokers. with whom they had been
pledged, Jewels worth nearly $4,000
stolen from Ida Emerson Hills. Miss
Hills had put the jewely under her
pillow when retiring with her mother
after a new years night party in the
house of her brother in-law, Charles
III Zimmerman When she awoke next
morning she found the jewels had been
stolen and Zimmerman had disappear
ed. Zimmerman was arrested and to"
da,r was sentenced to Sing Sing. The
pawnbrokers claimed that Miss Hills
had been guilty of negligence in not
putting her jewelry in a safe place.
Judge Fosters dictum upset their
claim.

NAMES MUST BE WRITTEN DOWN
Voters in Frisco Must Have Names on
New Great Register to Vote.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 17.-By a
decision of the state supreme court
rendered today only those voters
whose names appear on the new great
register for 1910 will be allowed 70
participate in the general primary
election to be held next August. This
decision means that the great registers
of voters for 1908 and 1909 cannot be
used in the verification of the petition
of the candidates who seek their par.~
nominations for state offices at the
coming primaries.
The decisions was written by Judge
w. F. Henshaw, and in denying a wri,
of mandate which brought the ques-
ton before it, the court took occasion
to express it's opinion of the primary
law by saying:
st is conceded by the court that
the primary law is both complex and
onerous, but We are advised that it
was adopted in response to a very
general and popular demand. This
being so, it is but fair to assume tina!
the vast majority of electors, who flno
in this law a panacea for all political
ill, will flock to the registration booths
and qualify themselves to take part
in the important primary election

Packers Say
They Compete

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. IL
Competition rather than combination
of agreement among packers fixed the
prices of meats, according to testi-
mony of packing companies officials
before Special Examiner Dillon mere
today in the investigation of methods
of the nine companies doing business
in Missouri.
A general denial that prices are
fixed at meetings of Representatives OF
the companies was entered by the
three witnesses examined.
The greater part of the day was
taken up in learning the ramifications
of the different companies.
G. F. Swift of Chicago said that
Swift & company of Illinois own stock
in the SchWartzschild & Sulzberger
company and also own, through the
estate of the late Gustavus F. Swift,
81. 900. 900 i'm the stock of the National
Packing company of New Jersey
He said that Swift & company OF
Maine and Swift & company of West
Virginia are selling companies for the
illinois company, to which all business
and dividends are reported.

Power of the Drama.

Wilton Lackaye, who is we'll known
to local theatre goers, in speaking on
s.The Power of the Drama last Sun
dav morning in the Illinois theatre,
drama at present seen on the stage.
He said that if the women did not
flock to such plays, they would not
last long behind the footlights. He
also came out flat-footed for "domes-
tic censorship of the drama. Among
other things the actor said: 1t is
appalling, the indifference of the or
binary intelligent parents to the at
fairs of the theatre. They thrust "
into the hands of their children and
send them forth to visit the playhouse
without taking the trouble to inquire
whether the plays they are to see are
fit for immature minds and impress
s,onable natures This is, to my way
of thinking. criminal carelessness. A
little domestic censorship would be
of enormous benefit, but we can do
without police censorship for the
present
And then Mr. Lackaye considered
the case of the tired business man,
who is the prop and stay of the Choir
us. Really, he could find little to
II, bic attitude.
why should the tired business
man play a part in corrupting the
tbeatre?" he wanted to know. why
doesn't he take a rest somewhere
else? He seems to want to sit in
stall and have a lot of flimsily attired
coryphees hop and caper before him
ANY other sort of entertainment
makes too severe a call upon his
brains. and he uses his brains In MS
business. not in the theatre
Incidentally Mr.. Lackaye said that
