GUM BANQUETS
HIS COLLEAGUES
Association Trustees Dis
cussed Matters Over
Festal Board.

At the Hotel Elman last evening
Arthur Gum, president of the Y. NJ
C.. A. gave a dinner to the trustees
and secretary of the association. All
but one member was present. The
object Of the meeting was to hear
the reports from the state conven'
ton held last week in Spokane. L.
V. Wells and Secretary Mclaughlin
told of the proceedings and the in
spiration and ideas received by them
MANY valuable hints were obtained
which will serve well toward max.
ing the local work more definite in
aim and broad in scope.
The immediate effect of the Spo
kane convention locally is that the
trustees are now more united anc
determined than ever before to gel
the. foundation work of the associa
ton performed at the earliest mo-
ment. 1t is hoped that the weather
will permit the continuance of the
rapid progress now being made or
the new building.
One of the most gratifying results
was the decision of the trustees t.
meet three times each week from
now on. These meetings will bs
held at 1880 p. m. in the secretary
Office, and will last about 30 min
utes. After short devotions bust
ness details will be taken up ant
disposed of in prompt manner.
Much is expected of the social tt
be held tonight in the commercial
club rooms. An excellent program
will be heard. This is the first SO
cial function of the association helt
in the city and will furnish some
idea of the many good times in store
for the people in the future. 1t il
planned to make the association ;
real factor in the social life of thu
lefty hereafter.

BEVERIDGE FOR IOWA?

Webster City, Iowa. Nov. 23.-To
elect Senator Beveridge of Indiana
as United States senator from Iowa
TO succeed the late Senator Dolliver
and carry on the forward movement
in the republican party" in which
the Indianian has been q leader, is
the startling suggestion of Professor
Macy of the chair of political science
in Grinnell college. Prof. Macy says
that there is nothing in the federal
constitution to prevent the Iowa leg
islature electing Beverage as SEN
ator from this state if he will mere
ly declare it his legal residence. The
professor gets his idea from the Eng
lish system, under which members
of parliament are elected by districts
without regard to residence.

The death list is estimated at sixty

the city. The wires in many direc-
lions have been cut. 1t is 1mpossl-

H0N0RS BE-
LONG To
CITY
Aberdeen Has No Legiti-
mate Claim to Football
Championship.

Wenatchee claims the high school
football championship for the state
of Washington. This claim is based
on the fact that it is the only unde-
feated team in the state and that it's
proposition to the next nearest claim
ant, Aberdeen, to play for state
championship, has been turned down
by Aberdeen.
Superintendent Wilson, of the Alb
erdeen schools, announced yesterday
that he would refuse his team per-
mission to play. 1t is stated that the
Aberdeen team has broken training
and that three of the members are
now enjoying vacation.
A few weeks ago Aberdeen an
nounced it would play any team in
the state named by the Board of Con-
troll. That board has named Wenat-
chez, and now Aberdeen refuses 20
play. On that score alone, she yield
had to the championship.
For another still greater reason
Aberdeen is disqualified. The report
now is spread abroad that the game
last Saturday, played in Aberdeen
was really won by Tacoma. Both the
referee and the umpire of that game
are positive that Halfback Adams
made d touchdown in the last quar-
ter When goal was about to be
kicked the head linesman, c. A. Ar
thur, of Aberdeen, had a sudden in
spiration and determined that the
touchdown was not legal because
Adams had run out of bounds about
seven yards from the last chalk
mark. Referee Varnell was running
beside the lad when he made the
score and is absolutely positive that
he did not go out of bounds. George
Case. of Tacoma, who acted as UNI
pire, says he watched the play close
ly and was equally sure of the legal
ity of the touchdown. Coach Perkins
Of Tacoma makes the flat accusation
that his team was robbed of the game
and declares that he will never again
play a game with Aberdeen.
1t is now said that Headliner Ar
thur has acknowledged his uncer-
tainty regarding his decision. His
doubt, together with the positive
statements of the umpire ana ref
cree should cause the Board of Con-
troll to award the game 10 Tacoma
If it is not done, Tacoma has at leas:
won technical victory. That fact
leaves Wenatchee the only undefeat-
ed team III the state. 1t has not been
shown that Wenatchee has suf-
fered even a technical defeat Her
challenge to both Tacoma and Aber-
deem for games have been disregard
ed by those teams and this clearly
entities Coach Sievers and his pupils
to receive the pennant.
