this year on Friday, May eth, and
President j NJ. Klemgard, of the
club, appointed Messrs. Rouse and
Gray a committee to arrange the de-
tails.
1t has not yet been decided at
what hour to hold the street show,
but as the date fixed is the same as
that of the concert by the New York
symphony Orchestra, which gives a
concert at the college on the after
noon of that day, it will be placed
SO as not to conflict.
There are more blue-blooded
horses and high bred colts in this
vicinity this season than ever be-
fore, and a great list of entries is
anticipated. Horse owners should be-
gin now to groom their fayorites and
get them ready TO win ribbon.
1t is proposed this year to offer
prizes for the best mules and mule
colts, and as the Palouse is fast ri
valling Missouri in the production Of
these animals, this feature of the
show will be most interesting

The Scott Bill.

The Scott bill was favorably re-
ported to the lower house of con-
gress by the committee on agricul-
ture, April 9Th. The bill as intro
duced prohibit gam bling in fut-
ures of cotton, grain and other farm
products, but the committee amend
ed it so as to make it apply to cot
ton only. Its most important pro-
visions are as follows:
Section q That it shall be unlaw-
full for any person to send or cause
to be be sent any message offering
to make or enter into contract for
the purchase or sale for future de-
livery of cotton without intending
that such cotton shall be actually de-
liyered or received, or offering to
make or enter into a contract wher-
by any party hereto or any party
for whom or in whose behalf such
contract is made acquires the right
or privilege to demand in the future
the acceptance or delivery of cotton
without being thereby obligated to
accept or to deliver such cotton; and
the transmission of any message re-
lating to any such transaction is
hereby declared to be an interference
with commerce among tee states and
territories and with foreign nations.
Any person who shall be guilty of
violating this section shall, upon
conviction thereof, be fined in any
sum not more than one thousand dol
lars and shall be imprisoned for not
more than six months nor less than
one month, and the sending or caus-
ing to be sent of each such message
shall constitute separate offense.
Section 3. That it shall be the
duty of any person sending any mes
sage relating to q contract or to the
making of a contract for future de-
livery of cotton to furnish to the per-
son transmitting such message an af-
fidaYit stating that he is the owner
of such cotton and that he has the
intention to deliver such cotton; or

The usual eligibility regulations
governing athletes are in effect. The
order of events will be practically
the same as in past years unless
some unusual entries are made.
One of the principal features of
the meet will be the exhibition events
given by the members of the college
track team. Mr.. Boiler is arrang-
ing these events and at present Cap
tain COOL is to run an exhibition
mile, Jack Nelson will run the 100
yard dash, Dalquist and Monroe will
perform with the pole vault and
Chester Anderson will give an exhi-
bition with the weights, including
the javelin. These events will be
given at intervals during the pro-
gram of regular events.
The McCroskey cup which has
been won two years in succession
by the Spokane team will again be
the trophy for the major schools.
Spokane will have to defend it
against the field and if they win it
this spring again the cup becomes
the property of the team. Among the
minor schools, TekOa will defend the
Murray cup which it won last spring
and if ii wins again it will be per-
manent property as the conditions
covering this cup require but two
successive victories.
The interscholastic oratorical con-
test, which be held on the 14th,
will have contestants from
North Yakima. Walla Walla, Wenat-
chez, Spokane, Sprague, Palouse and
Ellensburg, and possibly few others
that have not yet completed the
entry requirements. The orations
are to be original, and will each be
limited to ten minutes for delivery.
The subject matter of the Grafton
and the excellence of delivery will
count in awarding the prizes. This
contest will occur on the evening of
the 18th.

Certainly the cautious Scot spirit
pervaded the opinions of the Scottish
architect who was called upon to
erect a uilding in England upon the

Anglican proprietors, but quite new

of 500 years, he quietly suggested:

SENTENCED TO PRISON

CHICAGO, April 14.-Judge Lands
In the United States district court to-
day sentenced William S. Phillips,
president of the AmericanM Mexico Min
ing and Development company. to three
years in the federal penitentiary at
Fort Leavenworth and fined him $1,000
for using the mails to defraud. He was
indicted on three counts, but one was
quashed. Phillips sentence and fine
are the maximum under the indict-
ment.
Phillips was charged with defrauding
purchasers of stock in the company
out of $500, 900. Dividends were paid
monthly out of money received from
the sale of stock. According to the
testimony dividends were paid on rep
resentation that they were earned by
mines which the company owned in
Mexico, when in reality the mines were
run at a loss, it was charged. Evidence
was introduced to show that the rec
ords of the company showed that the
property was worth 100000 more than
its actual value.

man of the national waterways COM
mission, who was chairman of the river

ber of the senate committee on COM
merce, presented today a minority re-
port on the pending bill, which would
appropriate about $52,0O0,000 for the i'm

The character of his opposition,
which is q sweeping arraignment of
piecemeal appropriations, as well as a
condemnation of many named projects,
including the lakes-to-gulf waterway,
makes it certain that the contest to be
waged over the bill will be one of the
most heated in the history Of the
senate.
