ever held by the association. 1t is
expected the Ben Franklin clubs of the
state will meet at Pierre at the same
time and the two organizations will
confer on matters affecting the bust
ness interests of the editors. K is

Lawsuit May Outlive Woman
Mrs. Dring, who fought several law
suits in the courts to gain several
thousand dollars from st. Lawrence
township, Hand county, and who won
about a year ago, still sees little hope
of being paid the amount of the judg-
ment she secured, as the defendants
will neither pay nor appeal. Collection
cannot be made until the time expires
for an appeal. Almost a year has
passed since the judgment was secured
and as Mrs. Dring is over 80 years old,
she hardly expects to outlive the law
suit.

proper organization and earnest work
on behalf of the men in sympathy with
the so-called progressive republican
movement, King county could be car
ried for Miles Poindexter.
The mention of Poindexter's name
was greeted with applause and the in
surgent movement was proclaimed TO
be the greatest step toward progress
since Abraham Lincoln freed the
slaves.
In his opening remarks, MIR. Grit
fiths, who, by the way, ranks among
the ablest attorneys Of the Seattle bar,
said:
Il am an insurgent or progressive
because l want to see the republican
party liberated from the control OF
special interests; | want to see the
party freed from the clutch OF the
oligarchy, which stretches from Seattle
to Portland, Me. | want to see it
crushed into thousand fragments and
thrown to oblivion. l am for Poin-
dexter because | believe that he has
fought our fight and has led in the
greatest battle in the history OF the
country since Abraham Lincoln eman-
cipated the slaves"
Roy d. Pinkerton, student at the
state university, who is president OF
the Poindexter club, at that institution,
told of the work entailed in organizing
the club, and said that it had a men,
bership of more than 200 students.
R. G. Hutchinson declared that the
insurgent movement was fight against
the use of money as a political infu-
ence and protest against the methods
employed by Speaker Cannon in con-
trolling legislation. He read an extract
from speech made by the late Francis
w. Cushman in 1902, in which Mr..
Cushman criticized Speaker Cannon.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS
Meets in Spokane First Week in October
viii be Notable Gathering

Governor M. E. Hay has addressed
the following open letter to the people
of the state Of Washington:
"The people Of the state Of Wash
ington are to entertain the Fifth Inter
national Dry Farming Congress and ex-
position in the city of Spokane during
the first week of next October. The
dry farming movement is of great i'm
portance to all citizens of this state
whether in dry or irrigated districts, be-
cause of the fact that the success OF
our non-irrigated agriculture will affect
favorably every line of industry in this
state.
Whether or not personally interest
ed there is still the matter of loyalty
and state pride to be considered. The
great northwest is now the cynosure OF
all eyes because Of the fact that we
have already held two successful inter
national expositions and have enter
tanned some of the most important
conventions in the entire world. Immi-
grafton into the northwest is notable in
its present volume.
The citizens of Spokane as city
have taken hold of this work in re-
markably enthusiastic manner. They
have assumed the entire expenses Of
this great convention with the excep-
ton of a small proportion of the ex-
pense of the exposition, which should
very properly be shared by the people
of the state at large.
Not only as governor of the state,
but as citizen, hope that all of the
counties, cities, towns and commercial
and agricultural bodies of the state will
extend loyal and liberal support to the
Washington board Of control in its eff
forts to arrange for the financing of the
international exposition, in which
Washington as state shall be well
represented.
Let us prove to the world that not
only in irrigation and humid farming
but in dry land agriculture Washington
leads them all.
"A member Of the Washington
board of control has been selected for
practically every town, city and county
in the state, and I hope that the efforts
of these committeeman will be sup
ported and materially assisted by the
interested and loyal citizens.

How One Trust Stole

There was wheeled into the criminal
branch of the United States circuit
court, New York city, one day last
week, huge scale, an exact duplicate
of the scales used on the docks Of the
American Sugar Refining company in
Brooklyn.
While the twelve Jurors bent for
ward tensely a weight Of 997 pounds
was placed thereon. Then a steel wire
was thrust in a hole drilled in the
stanchion and the result was noted.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-05-27

The scales, though accurate, registered
only o88 pounds, nine pounds short.
This was the governments first prac
tical demonstration before the jury OF
how the American Sugar Refining com
pany is alleged to have cheated the
treasury department out of thousands
of dollars in duties.

preliminary arrangements for the con-

They denied the stories about the
possibility of either fighter ''1unking''
out of the match by stating that one
of the objects of his visit East was
to get an insurance policy of 10000

ROHNNY HAYES has gone to Great
Neck, Long Island, to finish train
y ing for the Marathon Derby, which
will be held at the Polo Grounds Sun
day afternoon, April 2. He will have
the assistance Of Pete Hegelman, the
old-time six day go-as-you-please
champion. The roads in the vicinity of
Hayes's training quarters are in first
class shape and there is also a half
mile track that he a use for time
trials.
The offer that the winner of the ia
nous Olypic Marathon made to bet a
thousand dollars that he could beat
Thure Johanson or any other long dis
lance runner, has stirred up a great
fuss in the athletic world. Johanson's
manager, Hjertberg, claims he is ready
to make the match or to bet that his
man will finish ahead of Hayes in the
Derby, and Hans Holmer and Ted
Crook have also signifed their willing
ness to take up the challenge. Holmer,
by the way, is also out with a thou
SAND dollar offer for a race against
Johanson. The latter is now being
looked after in his training by Al Cop

Tacony eleven gives battle to the Fall
River Rovers. After scoring their vic

American Cup competition a few weeks

own grounds, is no easy mark. and the
Rovers will have to put up a game bat

DIVING TACKLE
TO Be FORBIDDEN
BY RULE MAKERS
Committee Listens to Coach
Stages SuggestiOns-Halves
May Be Changed.
NEW YORK. March 25.

NEW 1OfShs MdIGn AS-
KROW to make football safe without
rendering it too complex or de-
priving it of its virility was the
problem attacked today by the inter-
collegiate football rules committee.
Secretary z. K. Hall, of Boston, de-
clared today that he thought that by
tomorrow night most Of the actual
work Of rule changing. with a view to
saving the game from the ban of col
lege authorities and at the same time
retaining it's best features. could be ac-
complished.
The major part of the task, it vas
thought, could be completed today.
Possibly a mail vote on some minor
points will have to be taken after a
little further experimenting this spring.
Coach Stage, of Chicago, was given,
perhaps, the most attentive hearing at
today's session. Stage has been making
practical experiments with a couple Of
carefully selected elevens in the South
with a view to learning how some of
the more logical suggestions for rule
changes made at h early winter meet
ing would work out on the field.
Many of the experts believe that
Stages experiments and the study of
other authorities on the game will re-
suit in the selection of both the forward
pass and the onside kick, surrounded,
however. by regulations providing for
less close physical contact. The two
halves, it was also thought, would like
ly be divided into periods. giving a bet
ter chance for the examination of men
who were apparently weakening and
tending to prevent dangerous ~collapses.
One of the longest discussions was
expected over the neutral zone. to
which considerable opposition has de-
veloped. due to the momentum 1t al
lows the opposing forces to gather for
the clash Of contact. There seemed to
be little doubt that the diving tackle
would be abolished.
