MAN LOOSES WALLET:
BlAMES NEGR0P0RTER
Spokane Contractor Robbed While
Dressing on Train, Lays Crime
to Colored Servant.

Carl D. Smith, contractor in Spo-
kane, and a brother of S. Grant
Smith of this city, who arrived carly
Tuesday morning to attend the
church convention and also visit his
brother. reports the theft from his
pocket of purse containing about
$40 in cash, a check for a small
amount and a very valuable ring
which belonged to his wife. Mr..
smith is almost certain he felt his
purse removed from his pocket
while arranging his toilet with the
assistance of cOlored porter on
tourist sleeper No $50 of the N. p.
railroad.
Mr. Smith is positive he had his
hand on his purse no more than
five minutes before he discovered its
loss and there was nobody else in the
room but himself and the porter. In
speaking of the loss to an acquaint-
ance on the train ne was informed
that his friend had had a similar
experience east of Spokane on the
same road.
In this case a college student re-
turning home was being assisted in
dressing by a colOred porter and had
placed his wallet in mis- pocket before
putting on his clothes, After he was
dressed he discovered its loss. on
reporting to the conductor, no effort
was made to search for the same.
Mr. Smith also reported his loss
to the conductor, but was greeted IN
a cold manner, and the similarity Of
the two cases leads him to believe
that a systematic crusade against
sleepers is being Waged by employ
ees of this road

Present indications are that we

Assistance in Their Efforts to
Prepare to Aid the Poor.

Money Needed for Poor.
Once a year the Army is under the
necessity of raising money for Its

val is the manner taken in North Yak

of making a direct appeal for money.
The Salvation Army in North Yakima,

penser of the public charity to the
unfortunate and distressed. 1t has
taken the burden of that work from
the shoulders of others. 1t must have
strength wherewith to carry on its
task
The Children's program of the fes-
tival is to be presented today. Tho
auction sale of the articles above
apIIpoeratad and numprouS others will
be held Thursday and the Friday pro-
