WEST POINT CADETS
IN A REBELLION
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

WEST POINT, n. Y, Sept. 81
The cadets of West Point Military
academy are in open rebellion and
the authorities today face the worst
mutiny in the history of the United
States military training institution,
as the outcome of the Captain Lon
gan incident, in which 500 members
of the cadet corps Joined in showing
their disapproval of the instructor
of tactics by 'silencing' him.
Superintendent General Barry, in
his report today, said:
"Silence given Captain Longan
did not compare with that given the
investigating committee, which re-
ported its findings to him, Twenty
first classmen were examined and
each returned the same stereOtyped
answer: We have formed dis
like for this officer. No amount
of threats or coaxing could bring to
light the cause of the antagonism
against Longan.'

nance no provision was made for
the agencies, such as SWANS,
Thiel's and the Pinkertons, all of
whom are friendly with the police.
Under the first ordinance these
agencies are required to put up $50
for every man who operates here,
the same as the little detective, do
ing business on his own hook. So
Sullivan conceived the idea of
changing the ordinance, so as to let
the big agencies off with one $50
for the whole works. while the full
$50 is still to be paid by the individ
uals following detective work single
handed.
The whole affair is a piece of
vicious special legislation, con-
ceived by John T. Sullivan in order
that he may be able to control any
man in the line of private detective
work who undertakes to assert his
independence or police domination.

Good Advertising

Over 40 pianos and other musical
instruments have been given away
by us in the past as a means OF at
tracing attention to our House and
it's methods Of business. The list
and addresses Of these winners will
gladly be furnished upon applica-
ton.
This present friendly contest, we
believe, is the most interesting we
have ever undertaken. We hope it
will be the means Of bringing our
House and the Pianos we sell to the
attention of a large number Of new
residents.
This is a competition that is open
to every onc-the doctor, the law
yer, the merchant, the laboring man,
the schoolboy or girl--each has an
equal chance.
Furthermore, we are particularly
anxious that the people Of this state
become thoroughly familiar with
the Eilers Piano, which is made UNI
der our own supervision, especially
with view to overcoming the I'M
usual climatic conditions of the Pa
cific coast. Onl Y the choicest noun
tain-grown Pacific Coast spruce is
used in the Eilers Sound Boards,
which are themselves an innovation
and decided improvement over
those found in other pianos. The
Eilers improved, damp proof, brass
flange repeating action is also in
stalled in every piano bearing the
Eilers name.

this morning was irrigation by
Private Enterprise"
F. c. Goudy of Denver, former
president of the congress, and
George E. Barstow, of Texas, also
former president of the congress,
were the principal speakers.
Goudy opened by describing the
growth of irrigation in the west
from the small rude bitches of the
farmer to the time when the gov
eminent began lending its aid to
the agriculturist. He described the
formation of irrigation corpora
tions, particularly in Colorado; of
the work of those companies,
through designing organizers,
through lack OF able agents, and
holly scored the water pirates"
who file water claims to prevent
bonafide enterprises from using
streams except at exorbitant prices.

MONTEsANO, Wn., Sept. 27.
William Fisher, who narrow
Iy missed being declared legal
~ dead, owing to an absence of
eight years, returned yesterday
to Chehalis and today paid
back-taxes on two timber
claims, valued at $4,000, which
would have been sold by the
state next week had he not put
in appearance. Fisher said to-
day that he had spent the seven
years in the Alaska gold camps.
While in the north he left
his companions, who from that
day until yesterday never heard
of him. Before leaving Che
halls county eight years ago,
Fisher purchased two timber
claims, which have increased

SULL|LAN'S CONTROL
OF PRIVATE DETECTIVES

More special legislation is being
asked for tonight from the city
council. The suppliant in this in
stance is John T. Sullivan, acting
chief of police.
Recently Sullivan had an ordi-
nance passed by the council placing
a license fee of $50 on private detec-
tives and making them more or
less subseryient to the control of
Sullivan. The purpose was TO bring
private detectives under Sullivan's
thumb and thus to bar any fellows
who became odious to the chief.
Some private detectives, as for in
stance ]. Z. Clark and S. A. Doyle,
have been thorns in Sullivan's side
for some time. because of informal
ton furnished by those gentlemen
to The Press. and 1t was to bar
them that Sullivan had the first
ordinance passed.
In the passage of the first ordi-

salary of 800 per month for a per-
iodof six months, for the purpose Of
looking after the places of amuse-
ment where children and the
younger people congregate.
The necessity for the appoint
ment of such an officer is urged by
the commission committee, which
consists of George w. Fuller, Marie
l.. Hornburg and A. c. Macmillan,
on the grounds that the present po-
lice force is insufficient and too
fully occupied to take up this addi-
tional work, that the average police
man is untitled to deal with juven-
lie problems and therefore avoids
them and that great success has
been met with in other cities in the
prevention of the degradation OF

THIS BROTHER
IS SURE LOYAL

Sympathy for his brother, who is
in the county spail, unable to get
anyone to go bond for him,
prompted Jack O'Neill of OkanOgan
to give himself up to the authori-
ties yesterday, although he knew
that warrant had been issued for
his arrest. He gave bond of $4,000
so that his brother might be re-
leased, and was himself arrested
for perjury. on the testimony of an
Okanogan Indian. Lawrence O'Neill
is the brother and is proprietor OF
the Elite bar on Howard street.

Why We Do 1t

The states of Washington and
Idaho are just now witnessing a
most phenomenal growth. Thous-
ands of families are coming here
each wear to make their homes in
this section.
We want every one of them to be-
come familiar with the House Of
Eilers, to knows Of it's progressive
methods, it's pianos and its money
saving facilities to the buyer, just
as people who have lived here for
many years already know them.
We want every resident of the
states of Washington and Idaho to
fully realize the magnitude Of the
business done by the Eilers Houses,
which have grown in ten years from
one small store to forty-from the
sale of a few hundred pianos to
many thousands each year.
No business could grow to these
wonderful proportions without good
reason. The ever increasing patron
age of the Eilers stores would have
been impossible without the thor
ough confidence of the people, gain
ed by the most progressive, straight
forward and liberal treatment of
every patron Of the house.
equality" has ever been our
watchword; it has always been our
aim to give more value to the piano
buyer than any other dealer could.
How well we have, succeeded is best
told by the tens of thousands of sat
isfied patrons who are today enjoy
ing in their homes an instrument
purchased at some Eilers store.

PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. 27-Two
resolutions deprecating federal con-
troll of irrigation projects and rec
ommending that the national irriga-
ton congress go on record as favor
ing state control of irrigation works
were prepared today by the Colo
RADIO delegates and will be present
ed to the convention at the earliest
moment practicable. 1t is predict
e dthat when the resolutions reach
the committee a majority will re-
fuse a favorable report and that
minority report favoring the reso-
buttons is probable.
A fight over states rights to
waterpower and irrigation control
is promised Thursday when former
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot will
be present to oppose the advocates
of state conservation.
