distractions Placed on the
Tracks and Traffic Is
Badly Hampered.

Because children in the southern
part of the city are interfering with
street car traffic, and last night threw
stones through several windows. the
police department has been asked to
afford protection to passengers and
property Of the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company. For many weeks
past it is said the youngsters have har-
rowed motormen and conductors by
playing upon the tracks of the Pros
pect Heights line, and at Intervals
the cars are held up by obstructions
on the rails. The trouble became SO
annoying this week that the assistance
of the police has been asked for, and
blue-coat will be p 'aced on duty in
Little st. Petersburg this evening.
According to officials and employees
of the traction company the trouble
has continued for several weeks past,
the children employing various meth
DDS of delaying the. cars. AT times
they go under the bridge across Gar
rison creek, and, seeing a car ap-
preaching, raise their heads between
the ties, thus forcing the motOrman
to stop his car, and proceed slowly
across the bridge. The youngsters
apparently are of the opinion that the
motorman is responsible for their
safety at all times, and his work is
made decidedly unpleasant at all
hours of the day.
Last night stones were thrown
through several windows of cars run
ming on the Prospect Heights line, and
the assistance of the police was ask
ed. No passengers were injured, it is

Railroad Regulation Bill

Nothing at All.
COULD HARDLY
PASS THE HOUSE
Wickersham Legalizes a
Transaction He Is
Fighting In Court.
(By Clyde VI. Tavenner.)

WASHINGTON, April q will
President Taft insist upon the reten-
ton, in his railroad regulation bill, of
the provision which will have the al
legged effect of legalzing the South
ern Pacific Union Pacific merger?
If the president is unwilling to have
this so-called Joker stricken from
the bill, it's passage is: regarded as
doubtful The provision referred to
has been eliminated from the house bill
which action on the part of the inter
state and foreign commerce committee
was in itself an admission of the unde-
STABILITY of the clause
Senator Nelson of Minnesota has
come to the aid of Senator Cummins
and Senator Clapp and other insurgents
fho condemn the "joker.'
IF we pass Section 49, declared
Senator Nelson, referring to the Sec
ton which contains the proviso con-
cerning mergers 'it will be utter folly
for the government to carry on its
suit against the Southern Pacific
Union Pacific merger, because, if the
government should succeed in that suit,
the company could go on, after the suit
was over, under this law and do what
it is charged with doing in the suit
now. So, in my mind, if we adopt Sec
ton 1 as it is in this bill, it will be
all folly TO carry on that prosecution
which has been pending for two years
against the Union Pacific merger"
During Senator Cummins' speech on
the bill the question was raised as to
the source of the particular provision.
Il should like to know" said Senator
Borah, what lawyer has put his sane
ton upon this as legal proposition.
The question was answered by the
introduction of portion of the presl-
dents message of Janury Z, in when
President Taft stated that "by my
direction the attorney general has
drafted a bill to carry out these recon-
which will be furnished
upon request to the appropriate COM
m!ttee whenever it may be desired.
The fact that Attorney General
Wickersham framed the bill places
him in the position of having drawn

Medicine Hat
Team Would do
Training Here

Word has been received by Manager
A. F. Bade OF the, Walla Walla Inde-
pendent aggregation, from the manager
of the Medicine Hat team of the Twi-
light league, embracing about eight
towns in British Columbia, that he
wishes to bring his team here for train
ing quarters.
AS the season does not open in Can
ada as soon as it does here, and the
practice in Medicine Hat, the manager
has been looking around for a suitable

The Twilight League is a Glass "C'
first class ball players among them,
and they put up just as good ball, ac-
cording to many, as either the North
west or Pacific coast league, and If
the team does come here to train, Wall
la Walla fans will have the privilege
of seeing some good ball for awhile
this season. even if league is not or
ganiZed here.
Manager Bade answered the inquiry,
stating that there was good grounds
here an dthe weather is getting so that
steady practice could be assured the
team.
1t is probable that they will secure
the fair grounds for practice md will

Every Effort to Be Made
To Jut Walla Walla
In First Glass.
TRAINS WILL BE
CLOSELY FOLLOWED
School Children are to Take
Part in Scheme for
Thorough Count.

Those who know what steps are to
be taken to see that every family call
ing Walla Walla it's home is listed
in the census returns /lould not be at
all surprised if reward was offered
for information of the whereabouts OF
those leaving the city for their summer
homes without leaving all kinds of da-
Ia regarding themselves with the CEN
sus man.
There will be a close watch upon the
railroad stations. If one gets aboard a
train who is not compelled to talk to
a census man before doing so, he IS
fortunate. If he be a resident of the
city and has time for it, his full CEN
sus statement is taken. If he hasn't
time, his name and address are taken
and representative of the census
form.
Superintendent of Schools o. s.
Jones mas put the SCnOoI cnllQQren mt
the census game. When the suggestion
was made him, superintendent Jones
saw in it an excellent lesson in gov
ernment for the children, so in every
school of the city the youngsters are
being instructed IN both the philosophy
and the methods of the census and
then they will be required to carry
the forms into their own homes and
enumerate their own families.
In view of the fact that Walla Wal
la wants to become rated as a first
class city this year, every energy will
be bent toward securing data bearing
upon every resident of the place, and
business men and members of the Com
mercial club will cooperate with the
enumerators in the effort to secure the
name of every person who might
call Walla Walla his home.

One of the questions of Importance
to be settled prior to starting work
on the Oregon trade excursion is that
of permitting the ladies to participate
in the days program. Some members
of the Wal Walla club are desirous
of taking their wives. while others are

that trade excursions are not picnics
nor pleasure jaunts. and wholly out

JUSTICE HAD LONG MEE.ORY
The Late David Brewer Said to Have
Recalled Tragic Incident Of
Thirty-Five Years Ago.

Many years ago the late Justice
Brewer OF the Supreme court was Il
county Judge in frontier Kansas
travelling one day in a stage coach.
ne met young man who, accom-
panied by his wife and red.he AIDED
tWoyear-old boy, was just moving into
the state. The judge became ac-
quainted with the father and mother
and insisted-for the austere Judge OF
later years was in those days a mighty
good politician-that that boy was a
hne chap, who would surely make his
mark In the world. The proud parents
oeamed appreciation, and the Judge
reached for the infant and took him
on his lap. Instantly there was in
surrection. The prodigy did not pro-
pose to be jollied by an old chap out
looking for votes. He kicked the
Judge viciously, and finally, reaching
out a very determined little paw,
scratched of three burrows of skin,
and there was great concern and a
very small trifle of real bloodshed.
Thirty-odd years passed, and one
night at White House reception
Judge Brewer walked up to a young
man and asked:

near Wichita about thirty.fve years
ago. Young man, you're in contempt
