SCHOOL ATHLETICS !

+ Arthur Gum, who has an +
j. nounced himself as a candidate +
+ for school director, has been +
+ asked during the past week +
+ great many questions regarding +
+ his position on school matters. +
+ In a number of short interviews +
+ Mr.. Gum will define his posi- +
+ ton on the various subjects +
+ that are of vital interest to the +
+ patrons of the city schools. +
+ Yesterday he was asked his +
+ position regarding school ath- +
+ letics and on this matter he ex- j.
+ pressed himself as follows: +
+ Eyes, I believe in school ath- +
+ letes, but not to the extent of +
+ excluding or oversnadowing the +
+ other activities of student life +
+ l take it for granted, of course, +
I. that they do not interfere with j.
+ class room work, and that they +
+ are kept upon an honorable +
j. amateur basis. I believe in 1.
+ democracy in sport. I would +
+ rather have a dozen or twenty +
+ baseball and football teams in +
+ which all students took part, +
+ than one championship team +
+ only. But such general inter- +
+ est in sports usually results in +
+ strengthening the first teams +
+ by awakening enthusiasm and +
+ training the raw material. +
+ But I believe in something +
+ greater than mere athletics. I +
+ believe in physical direction and +
+ instruction for all pupils of the +
+ public school. I believe that it +
+ is due to every child that it be +

FUND IS
READY
$4,000 CARNEGIE LIBRARY
FUND READY-UP TO LIBRARY
COMMITTEE TO SHOW AVAIL
ABLE SITE.

The long looked for Carnegie IL
brary fund is at the city's disposal.
The next thing that the committee
has to attend to is to locate library
site. Several sites have been men
toned, but so far no definite action
has been taken. One site proposed
is the Palouse and Chelan corner Of
the city park. That is city property
and, If chosen for the library, work
could be started at once.
The only thing definite about the
library matter, however, is that the
$4,000 fund is available.

San Francisco, Feb. 24.-While
there has been nothing of the nature
of a renewal of the anti-Japanese
movement in this city or state, the
special dispatches from San Francisco
mentioned as having been received
at Toxic are believed to have been
inspired by the action of the labor
council last Friday adopting reso-
luton advising all unions mot to
unionize or permit their members to
work in houses where oriental labor
is employed" The adoption of the
resolution followed a discussion of
the proposed boycott of saloons where
Chinese and Japanese were employed
and the action was designed to ex-
tend the scope of the movement tc
embrace all houses employing orr
entails. In addition to this the anti
Asiatic league is endeavoring to Sc
cure assurances that Asiatics be not
employed by the Panama-Pacific ex-
position directors.

most sensational victories ever re-

Visitors to Judge Brewster's once

Continued From Yesterday

Underwood's man servant arrived and
he handed me over to the police.
That's the whole story. I've been
here since yesterday and I'll be devil
ish glad to get out
You will get out" she cried. I'm
doing everything possible to get you
free. I've been trying to get the best
lawyer in the country-Richard Brew

Richard Brewster" exclaimed How
ard. He's my fathers lawyer"
Il saw your father yesterday after
noon" she said quietly.
"You did" he exclaimed, surprised.
WAS he willing to receive you?"
He had to" she replied. I gave
him piece Of my mind"
Howard looked at her ia mingled
amazement and admiration. That she
should have dared to confront a man
as proud and obstinate as his father
astounded him
What did he gay?" he asked Gag
erly.
Il asked him to come publicly to
your support and to give you legal
assistance. He refused, saying he
could not be placed in a position of
condoning such a crime and that your
behavior and your marriage had made
him wash his hands of you forever"
Tears filed Towards eyes and his
mouth QuiVered.

Of this horrible crime?" he exclaimed.
He insisted that you must be guilty,
as you had confessed. He offered,
though, to give you legal assistance,
but only on one condition"
What was that condition." he de-
manded.
That 1 consent to a divorce" re-
piled Annie quietly
What did you say?"
Il said I'd consent TO anything if it
would help you, but when he told me
that even then he would not come per-
sonally to your support 1 told him we
would worry along without his as
sistance. On that 1 left him"
You're a brave little woman!"
cried Howard Noticing her pale, anx-
ious face, he said:
you, too, must have suffered"
"Oh, never mind me-" she rejoined
quickly. What we must do now is to
get you out Of this horrid place and
clear your name before the world We
must show that your alleged confes.
sion is untrue; that it was dragged
from you involuntarily We must find
that mysterious woman who came to
Underwood's rooms while you lay on
the couch asleep. Do you know what
my theory is, Howard?"
WHAT" demanded her husband.
'T believe you were hypnotized into
making that confession I've read of
such things before. You know the
boys in college often hypnotized you.
You told me they made you do all
kinds of things against your will.
That big brute, Capt Clinton, simply
forced his will on yours"

which Judge Brewster had exclusive
charge. AS the lawyer found this
highly remunerative, it was only nat
ural that he had no desire to lose
Mr.. Jeffries as a client.
Secluded in his private Office, the
Judge was busy at his desk, finishing
a letter He folded it up, addressed
an envelope, then lit a cigar and
looked at the time. It was three
o'clock The days work was about
over and he smiled with satisfaction
as he thought of the automobile ride
in the park he would enjoy before
dressing and going to his club for din
ner He felt in singularly good spir-
its that afternoon. He had just won
in the court a very complicated case
which meant not only handsome adj
dition to his bank account, out a
signal triumph over his legal oppo-
nents Certainly, fortune smiled on
him. He had no other immediate
cases on hand to worry about. He
could look forward to few weeks OF
absolute rest He struck a bell on his
desk and a clerk entered. Handing
him the note he had just written, he
said:

NO" he said.
Thank God for that" she ex-

does that mean?"

"Oh, Capt Clinton told you you

Howard nodded.
Yes, he told me he knew I did It,
He kept me standing there six hours,
questioning and questioning until
was ready to drop. l tried to sit
down; he made me stand up. I did
not know what was saying or doing
He told me 1 killed Robert Under

eyes, everything suddenly became a
blank A few moments later the cor

Thank God, thank Cod" exclaimed
Annie. Il see it all now"
Her tears were dried. Her brain was
beginning to work rapidly. She al
ready saw possible line of defense.

went on Howard. II don't know any
more about it than you do. l left you
to go to Underwood's apartment. On
the way I foolishly took drink. When

a woman's voice.
"Ah!" interrupted Annie. You. too,
