Sundays Game


Pap Lee was put into pitch Sunday
for Leavenworth, but for the first time
in the memory OF the oldest inhabitant
the big boys arm refuse to work prop
erly, and the eighth and ninth innings
were pitched by Miller.
Both sides drew blanks in the first
inning, each getting one man to first.
In the second, on a pass and stolen
base, the visitors got man almost to
third before he was nabbed. Leaven-
worth grabbed two runs in this inning,
being helped over by two-bagger by
Keppler, a pass to Smith, sacrifice by
Miller, and singles by Lee and Tholin.
The locals needed those two runs very
badly, too, for in the siiirSs,. after the
home bunch had gone out one, two
three, the visitors handed out big
jolt to Mr.. Lee and his friends by
yanking three runs over the pan. For
this, pass, passed ball and three
singles were responsible. This put
them one to the good. Leavenworth
drew blank in the fourth, but in the
fifth, with one man gone, Tholin
singled and scored on Mahoney's two
Dagger to center. Mahoney scored on
Souder's single, and the latter, after
stealing second, scored on Bees sac
rice.
This once more placed Leavenworth
in the lead. 1t was temporarily, how
ever, for the visitors, blanked in the
fourth, fifth and sixth, despite two
passes and an error in the latter,
touched of another painful assortment
Of fireworks in their half of the seventh
inning. The first two men up very
carefully picked out free transportation,
and stolen base, a passed ball and a
tumble by Miller of Dunlap's grounder
brought in the first man, and two more
cantered over when Hibbs and Crable
singled.
Leavenworth could get only one run
in the seventh. With two men down,
Bee made a two-bagger, scoring on
Coulson's beautiful triple. Keppler
out on fly to left.
This tied the score and the fans be-
gan sit on the edge of their seats, while
the more frantic bugs began to crowd on
the grounds, necessitating an appreciat-
ed enforcement of the ground rules be-
fore Umpire Moore would allow the
game to proceed.
The visitors in the eighth, in spite
OF three successive singles, could moi
score in the face OF the brilliant team
1
work OF the locals, but in the NINTH
with one man down, an unlucky tumble
by Coulson let Cradle reach second.
From there he stole second and came
home on Atkinson's single.
This gave the visitors once more the
bulge, and when Capt. KepplePs ag-
gregation came to bat the feeling wa:
as tense in the grandstand as it was il

Tholin, first up, looked over Mr.
Hayes choicest offerings and picked
out a nice little single. He got tC

1t is believed that King Edward
leaves little personal estate. From
the time he attained his majority he
had lived in a more less extravagant
way, and had never cultivated that fru-
gality which enabled his mother to be
rated among the worlds richest women.
King Edward was liberal with his fam
lily and with his friends, and oftentimes
found it difficult to make both ends
meet out Of the royal allowance.
King George V. was formally pro-
claimed successor to the throne at

pressive ceremony took place in the
throne room in the little medieval St.
James palace, in the presence of his
private council.
His majesty was almost overcome by
emotion. His speech, modelled clev-
erly after that his father had delivered
under the same circumstances, was al
most unintelligible for his sobs. His
tears fell on the parchments as he
signed the statutory declarations.

PUBLICITY AND GOOD ROADS
Commercial Club Begins to Get Down to
the Kind of Work That Tells

A most interesting meeting of the
commercial club was held Monday
evening and the first steps were taken
toward securing the much-needed pub
licity for this particularly favored sec
ton of the Wenatchee valley.
Several slogans had been submitted
and it was reported that several parties
were still engaged in thinking deeply
on the subject. The matter was re-
fened to the board or trustees, with
power to decide question.
o. S. Sampson, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee, stated that the
arrangements for the entertainment of
the Wenatchee business men, on the
occasion Of their excursion here May
18th, were practically completed. The
officials of the Wenatchee Valley &
Northern Ry. Co. had arranged for an
excursion on their road to the summit,
leaving at l p. m. and returning at 6
o'clock. Luncheon could be served
at 7 by the ladies of the Congre-
gational church in the opera house.
It was voted that invitations be ex-
tended to the commercial clubs of
Cashmere and Peshastin, as well as to
the presidents Of the Spokane, Everett
and Seattle bodies, and the head Off
cials of the Great Northern who have
their headquarters in Spokane and
Everett. They were all warmly urged
to be present on the 18th as guests of
Leayenworth's citizens.
Quite a lengthy consideration was
given to the question of better roads,
especially from Leavenworth to points
down the valley, and the following
were appointed as good roads com
mittee: L. ]. Nelson, J. E. Guther-
less, Deed H. Mayer. The committee
was given power to make such ex-
penditures as are necessary, which in
clude one-fourth Of the expense of Mr..
Kinney's trip to Olympia, and, if
necessary, the expense Of another man
from this part Of the valley.
1t was unanimously voted that the
ministers Of Leavenworth be made
honorary members Of the club.
1t was also voted that the printing
committee be authorized to have 5000
blotters printed for advertising pur-
poses. The club is also considering
the publication Of 5000 high-grade
booklets, "a pages, and filled with
illustrations and matter descriptive of
the upper portion Of the Wenatchee
valley.
1t is expected that the full member
ship OF the club will be on hand at the
next meeting to admire the beauties
and enjoy the comforts Of the new
furniture received this week.

ONE AGAINST FREDERIcKs

Editor Herald: It will be remem-
bered that some two years ago an OLD
soldier by the name Of Jacob Mulford
was so brutally and unnecessarily
beaten up by some Of the Soldiers
home police force as to hasten MS
death, which occurred some time later.
An account of the disgraceful affair
appeared in The Herald at the time.
The person chiefly concerned In TINS
most shameful affair was arrested ana
tried by the civil authorities. The
home authorities Cbut one of Whom
had ever heard a hostile gun fired) did
all in their power to minimize and
pooh-pooh the dastardly deed. In the
then District Attorney Fredericks they
found a willing ally, who made a
shamefully tame prosecution, permit
ting the brutal official to escape with
a mere nominal fine that should have
been a severe penitentiary sentence.
So wrought up were the members OF
the home over this disgraceful mis-
carriage of justice that they (outside
of the flunky element) swore venge-
ance against this man F'reder1ckS
should he ever again become candi-
date for any office where they had a
vote. AS they now have a chance Of
supporting clean, upright young man
in the person of Thomas Lee Woolwine
[ have no doubt but that they Will
keep their word.

FASHIONS TYRANNY

Editor Herald: Speaking from the
feminine side or the house, rise to say
Amen" to the protest of the "Straw
Hat Insurgent." Why should we
women wear heavy headgear of felt or
velvet in the semi-tropical winter sum
shine of Southern California? And
why may not wide straw hats protect
the eyes of our children on warm days
in November or December as well as
in July?
Which brings us to a bigger question.
Why do we endure the tyranny of
fashion, anyway? 1t exacts more time,
strength and money than a czar would
dare to. Why may we not wear a
garment in peace of mind, even if it Is
tout of Style? Why should / arrange
my hair unbecomingly because they
are doing so''2 And why should I, with
an income of $1,000 year. strive to
dress myself and my children like our
neighbors with an income of $4,000?
When women are brave enough to
consider their personal comfort, taste
and purses, regardless of the dictates
of the great manufacturers, nervous
prostration will be less frequent. We
shall have time and strength to really
live, and shall actually know that the
life is more than meat and the body
than raiment." e. G. G.

EDUCATION AND CITIZENSHIP

Editor Herald: Leroy Stones letter
starts a good topic for the Letter Box,
if only we could get right down to the
consideration of education" as some-
thing more than the cramming into
unreceptive heads of certain prescribed
courses of 'ographies and 'ologies, and
the learning of false history from text
books which ignore our republics
chief founder, and If also we could
come to figure out something more
in "good citizenship" than is suggest
ed in it's present most favored watch
words: Don't tell your troubles to
me-boost; don't knock!' Smile,
damn you!" and SO on.
think we need to teach in our schools
''Iogic" of morals and honor, before
our growing citizens will get the habit
of giving moral aXioms a practical ap-
plication. At present our ethical teach-
ing is altogether too abstract I would
like to see a teachers manual with
something like this in 1t: "Teacher-
Now, Johnny Jones, suppose you were
a grocer selling short weight butter
and Bill Smith were a shoemaker and
Won condemned as dishonest his prac-
tice of putting paper tnsoles into his
shoes instead of leather. And suppose
later, because you yourself or some
other member of your family became
a shoe dealer you changed your tune
about paper 1nSOleS ana clalIled IHey
were all right, and anyway it was the
custom of the trade and therefore
profitable. Would that be consistent
and honorable?" Or something like
this: "Teacher-Now, Charlie Walker
suppose George Taylor came to you
and said: Dick Allen has upset his
ink bottle over your old copy book
and spoiled it completely. 1t was quite
an accident And suppose you de-
clared that accident or no accident it
would be only fair he should buy you
new one. And suppose that 1t all
turned out a reversal OF the truth
that in fact It was you who had spilled
ink over his copy book; and suppose
Won then turned around and pleaded
that since it was an accident he ought
not to make you pay and anyhow II
was only an old book and nearly full

plea. considering what you had claimed

cases of Identification men and women
alike give the benefit of doubt to a
suspect. Certainly turies do, and
courts so instruct. 1t Is a serious
thing for anybody to make a decision
that will deprive fellow human being
of life or liberty, and experience has
shown that the responsibility is so
keenly felt that people are far more
apt to err on the side of clemency,
often to the obvious perversion Of
justice.
In this case, as In many others, the
newspapers were a help to the author
tiles. In innumerable instances the
press has aided the police In running
down culprits, as it has also taken the
part of the innocent and prevented
abuse of authority by the police. Ad-
mitting that the commission of acts
by the press at times do not serve a
good purpose, it will on the whole be
unfortunate for Justice if 1t shall ever
be hemmed in with laws that curb its
power to assist justice with whole
some publicity.

AS soon as the Importance of the
preceding method to the fruit indus
try of California had been realized and
it's practicability demonstrated, the
Southern Pacific began the construction
Of two large ice and preceding plants
in the deciduous and citrus fruit dis
tricts of California, one of the plants
being built at Roseville, near Sacra-
mento, and the other one at Cotton, in
Southern California, while the Santa
Fe completed it's San Bernardino plant
in the spring of 1910. In order to cool
the fruits and vegetables in the car
without unloading and with the small
est possible delay in transit, the rail-
road plants manufacture an artificial
Arctic storm, and send the joy blast
of air through the cars, reducing the
temperature of the fruit from as high
as 100 degrees to As degrees within
four hours. Entire trains are pre-
cooled at time in this manner, the
bunkers filled with ice and started

beyond the Rockies were reached.

ty-five miles of pipe coils through

Gaynor and the Police
tJames creelman in September century,

September Century,
When the organized saloonkeepers OF
the city found that he had destroyed
the political channels through which
they usually sought protection when
they were violating the law they went
to the mayor and admitted to him 1t
was their practice to raise hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year as
secret fund to influence legislation and
save their members from punishment.
The mayor promised to see that they
should get just treatment In the future,
but insisted that they should cease col
lectlng money for such purposes. Since
then the saloonkeepers' big fund has
been abandoned.
Then Mr. Gaynor struck tremen-
dous blow at the giant system of police
blackmail by issuing an order that, as
the excise law provides, the police
should require all saloonkeepers to have
the windows of their barrooms uncur-
tained and unobstructed, so that every
thing within should be clearly seen
from the sidewalk. Policemen were
forbidden, on pain of dismissal to en-
ter saloons for the purpose of making
excise arrests, but were instructed to
take notes of what they saw from the
outside, swear to their statements, and
turn them over to the proper author
tiles for prosecution. That made 1t I'M
possible for a policeman to become rich
by blackmail, as before.

(James Creelman
In order to deal with the brutality.
corruption and negligence of the police,
the mayor took the affairs of the ponce
department into his own hands. All
complaints came to his desk. No, po--
liceman could be transferred" without
his knowledge and authority. Within
few weeks he dismissed about twenty
five members from the uniformed force
for assaulting citizens or shirl1ing duty.
He made it known that he would
break every one of the 10000 police
men in New York IL that should be
necessary to put an end to the club
bing and insulting of citizens. New
Yorzers rubbed their eyes. Could 1t be
possible? The mayor announced that
he would not only dismiss policemen
guilty of unJustifiable clubbing, but
would have them prosecuted in the
courts like other criminals. Scores of
uniformed offenders, from inspectors
and captains down to the humblest
patrolmen, were summoned to the city
hall. There was no escape; the mayor
knew the law, and was determined to
enforce It, There was no hidden polit-
ical council to which the policemen
could appeal. There was nothing to do
but obey, and for many months tho
people Of New York city have been
wondering why they tolerated police
ruffianism so long when 1t was so easy
to put a stop to 1t.

hour, driven by eight fans over seven
feet in diameter. The concrete tunnel
harboring the Arctic storm runs for
1900 feet alongside of q track with a.
capacity of thirty-two cars. The tun-
mel is tapped by sixty-four flexible
couplings, one Of which is inserted into
the vent opening at either end OF a
car when the preceding begins. After
the warm air has been driven out by a
preliminary blast the music Cf the zero
cyclone starts. At the rate of 5000
cubic feet a minute the blast whistles
through the cars, impinging against
the boxes and crates, feeling with icy
fingers into every nook and crevice,
taking q little of the fruits heat with
it and passing out through the second
pipe to return to the brine coils. At
the end of the first hour the blast
changes its direction and enters from
the other end in order to equalize the
temperature throughout the load. Care.
must be exercised by the engineer in
charge gradually to increase the tenn
perature of the air as the fruit grows
cold, unless he wants to change the
interior of the car into a real Arctic
scene. It is on record that three car
loads of celery were frozen stiff while
the temperature was close to 100 de-
grees-outside the car. Inside, the zero
air had been turned on too long for
the tender vegetables, and the railroad
had to pay OUT $500 for the engineers
preceding experience.

MR.. TURNER CHARGES THEFT

Editor Herald: Persons interested in
the subject of "Barbarous Mexico"
especially those who have followed my
exposures of the way in which the
American Magazine yielded to "skill-
fully applied influence" and for q time
stopped the writings under that head,
will be interested to know that two
thirds of the article appearing in the
October issue under the name of Alex
ander Powell, was written by me and
furnished to the American fifteen
months ago.
Since that time most of this matter
was printed in the Appeal to Reason
notably in the issues Of July and July
$3.50 that we have the spectacle OF
one of the "big" magazines not only
stealing an article almost entire from a
Socialist publication, but putting forth
that article under the name of man
who neither gathered the facts nor
wrote them up after they were gath
cred.
All of the material beginning with
the second paragraph on page 72O to
the last paragraph on page 726. except
ing a quarter of a sentence after sem
tence and paragraph after paragraph
stand as / wrote them
This is simply confirmation of my
charges: First, that the American
Magazine failed to carry out its prom
ises to the public because Of 'shlhully
anplied influence;" second, that 1t has
gone back to the subject of Mexico
only because it's readers who have read
my charges have whipped it into doing
So Finally, it's publication at this late
day of my original material is proof
that it has not been gathering new
facts" as announced, and that the
facts furnished by me in the first place
are the most reliable as well as most
effectiye that have yet come into its
possession. ,,

POLICE AND PRESS

4 CORRESPONDENT writing to
~ The Herald sharply criticises the
"A police and the newspapers for
publishing the portrait of Elmer Belk
the young man who assaulted
woman and her escort at night The
criticism is not taken against the pub
lication as a picture of the man guilty
of that particular deed, but as a sus-
pect in numerous crimes of the kind,
on the ground that it might prejudice
the minds of his victims and result in
q possibly false Identification through
the power Of hypnotic suggestion.
There is a basis for the criticism,
but we think far more good than harm
Is likely to be done by such publica-
tions. If the young man in this in
stance We're mere suspect whose
guilt or innocence was still to be de-
termined, the ground for criticism
would be stronger. But the man con-
fesses to a dastardly deed. Nothing
was more natural than that he should
be instantly suspected Of the other
crimes that have terrified the women
or the CITY toIlu lO CullO5AbS was AAOAO
proper on the part Of the victims and
their friends as to what he looks like.
It is extremely improbable that
portrait will act by suggestion on the
minds of anybody. On the contrary,
If those who are called upon to iden-
tifv a character of the kind have an
opportunity to study the face for sew
eraI hours there seems to be far less
chance of hasty and unfair judgment
than If they are called upon to visit
the police station and make decision
on short consideration. So 1t proved
in Belk's case.
1t has been our observation that In
