Coach KeinhOlz Relieved
BY State College Board

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
PULLMAN, April 15.-The board of
regents of the State college yester-
day afternoon relieved w. S. Keinho.z,
coach of the baseball and instructor of
biology, from all duties and response
bilities in connection with the ath-
letics and college asses in the insti-
tuition.
This action is the outcome of a
thorough review of the findings of the
committee which investigated the
charges made recently by Otto Deaner
and Will Miner, two members of last
years football team, to the effect that
Coach Keinholz offered them money
for playing football, the athletic COM
mittee found that the letters of Coach
Keinholz to Deaner did not make a
specific offer of money, but abounded
in a cheap and undignified tiattery
and contained phrases of low moral
sense and which were unbecoming of
a member of the faculty.
The board of regents made a
thorough investigation of these re-
ports and found that the evidence
presented was not sufficient to con-
vict Coach Keinholz Of offering money

General Tone of
The Market Good

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market today gave further evidence of
the ordered and systematiZed proceed
ings of the large operative forces sup
posed to be responsible for the advance
of the day before. Stocks which were
strongest yesterday were subjected to
a process OF profit taking at different
times today to take advantage of the
new demand attracted from outside
sources by the demonstration of yes
terday The new demand was reported
to be considerable, as shown by the
buying orders received by commission
houses.
The markets greatest show OF
strength developed in new quarters.
The aggressive measures employed
for carrying on the movement and the
proof given in their scope of the pos
session Of the large resources gave
confidence to a speculative following
and intimidated the professional oppo-
sition. The retreat of the opposition
by the covering of shorts was ma
ter.al factor in the markets strength.
There was not much specific news to
account for the action Of the market,
but current discussion about stock
exchange dwelt largely on general con-
siderations. Crop news was considered
encouraging and the decline in grain

SPOKANE DEAD LIST
MAY BE INCREASED
Wreck of Freight Train May Have
Killed Several Side Door
Tourists.

SPOKANE, April 14.-Wrecking
crews that have been working since
noon have been unable to clear the
Northern Pacific tracks of the twist
ed, tangled mass of wreckage formed
when % loaded freight cars piled up
three miles west of the city this morn
ing. They have not yet reached any
of the bodies supposed to be in the
debries, although the legs of one VIC
tim can be seen protruding from the
middle Of the mass. A temporary
track around the wreck was finihsed
late tonight and passenger trains al
lowed to go through.
Coming at high speed down the
grade from Marshall. a score of cars,
all loaded with lumber and shingles.
left the rails when some massive
bridge timbers, loaded on two fiat cars,
"buckled'' and threw the cars off the
journals. The engine, with engineer
Carroll, kept to the track, and held
two box cars safe, but every other
car in the train was derailed.
George F. Howarth, brakeman, was
the only member of the train crew
seriously injured. Others who were
injured and the dead were tramps,
about 20 of whom boarded the train
at Pasco and concealed themselves in
box cars. The bodies of three have
been recovered, seven badly injured
are in a hospital and it is believed five
or six are still under the wreck.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
When George w Cureton, who lives
up in the northern corner of Georgia
in Babe county to be exact-pinned his
faith to a United States internal rev.
enue stamp authorizing him to make
whiskey, and proceeded to do So he got
himself, the state of Georgia and even
the federal government itself, into
peck of trolble. He and two federal
revenue agents were landed in Jail, the
state of Georgia defie0 ~ national
the last six months there has been
bitter legal warfare which has only just
been terminated.
The whole controversy would have
been avoided in the first place If Cure
ton and some of the others involved
had realized that the United States
does not license" anybody to go into
the liquor or tobacco business. The IL
cense must come from the state or dis
trict in which the business is to be
carried on The national government
merely insists that those who engage
in the business must pay tax to Uncle
Sam for the privilege.
Nor does it make any difference to
the national government whether or
not those who want to Iniy such a tax
live in a prohibition district. 1t is al
ways ready to sell the stamps wnrch
show that tax has been paid and which
guarantees that there will be no fed
eral interference. In one town in the
"dry" state of Kansas over one humid
red such stamps were sold last year
and in the state of Maine-also
stronghold of prohibition-over 600.
But Cureton's case, in the prohibition
state of Georgia, was peculiar one.
Living up in the hills, with sparse
but thirsty community around him,
separated by many miles from the
places which cater to the desires OF
the bibulously inclined. Cureton con-
ce4ived the idea that there was a good
living. If not a fortune, to be obtained
by establishing a stir and selling its
products to his neighbors.
Being wise IN his generation, and
having knowledge of the implacable
fashion in which the revenue men"
will dog down anyone who tries to run
that kind of business illicitly, Cureton
decided that it would be safest to be
open and above board in carrying out
his plans.
So he went to the office of the near
est collector of internal revenue and
passed over the taxes required by the
federal government. Then he went back
