What is the real significance of the
desperate attempt of the republicans to
pass a ship subsidy bill at this time?
From what viewpoint will the average
citizen be likely to view the situation?
The plan now is to pass ship sub
sidy bill within the next few days. If
this is done, it will mean that the first
important legislation to pass at this
session was q measure that will bnefit
only a few already rich men. 1t will
mean that congress deliberately turn
ed it's back upon legislation desired by
the people to first serve the special in
terests. And as if to make more evil
dent their contempt for public senti-
ment, the republican leaders have Civ

Milk Trust
Under Probe

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 13.-Although
the recent Investigations in New York
city have shown that the profits of
the big milk distributing companies
have doubled in the last year, up
state farmers assert that they have
not shared in the prosperity to any
considerable extent. Many dairymen
and farmers who produce milk for

testimony during the milk trust in

ALTHOUGH REPUBLICAN LEADERS REALIZE
THIS FACT BILL is TO BE PUSHED THROUGH
CONGRESS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE
Tariff Trusts, Railroads and All the Other Special
Interests Have Given Their Seal of Full
Approval to Noxious Legislation.

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-(Special to
the Statesman )-Although some of the
republican leaders realize that the
Humphrey ship subsidy bill is almost
as offensive to the people as was the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill before it's
passage, the measure which will open
the pork barrel to private ship-own-
ers is to be jammed through congress
regardless of consequences.
The railroads. the tariff trusts and
all the other special interests that are
represented in congress have added
their o. K. to subsidy legislation. With
President Taft using every source Of
leverage at his command to secure
votes for the measure, the only hope
for it's defeat lies in a coalition of
democrats and insurgents.
When it is considered that a ship
subsidy is popularity viewed as class
legislation of hte most vicious kind,

Who Took Money
From Cooks and
Walters Funds?

Wishing to accuse someone of en-
bezzling their funds, but not knowing
upon whom to lay the blame, is said
to be the trying position members of
the Cooks and Walters union are
now in, for though they think
that under the regime of the old Of
ficers some of their money disappeared
in a strange manner from the treasury,
it cannot be ascertained with certainty
until the books are audited. That the
balances show up mighty slim in spots
is the claim made. and because of
this the Trades and Labor council has
appointed a committee of three to go
oyer the books next Sunday. UntIi
then, nothing definite viii BE- Gone.
Officers in this organization for the
ensuing year were installed last Tues

the books, their suspicious for the
time being were allayed. 1t was then
that the committee was appointed to
get at the bottom of the matter and
though no definite charges will now
be made, it is expected that some
thing sensational will develop before

President Lucas Says That
Garden City Has Good
Chance as Any
BELLINGHAM HAS NOT
CINCHED FRANCHISE
All Indications Point to
Favorable Action For
City by League

That Walla Walla still stands an ex
cellent show to break into the North
western league, anC that Bellingham
has not yet been granted a franchise,
are statements made this week by
President Lucas of the Northwestern
league to a Garden City baseball en-
thusiast who met the league president
in Portland yesterday. Contrary to re-
port, no franchise has been granted to
cas-, Walla Walla is regarded as fav-
orably as any other city in the north
west in connection with membership in
the 1910 league.
AS stated by Mr.. Lucas, no promises
have been made as to which cities are
to receive franchises, this matter rest
ing entirely in the hands of the board
of directors, and it is proposed to set
tie the question in Seattle on January
IS, when representatives from all in
terested cities are to be present. 1t is
the position of Mr.. Lucas to offer aid
and advice as to where players can be
secured, and he has expressed the opin-
ion that indications are indeed bright
for Walla Walla becoming a member
of the Northwestern league in case
business men and baseball fans here
take the proper interest.

swept up again.
By this time just one thing in all
the universe for the crowd-the man

must be something new even to the

At an estimated height of 1900 feet,
Paulhan described a great circle, as
if feeling the currents. He was a
mile and a half from the camp. By

the crowd was reused to frenzy. He
was still climbing. He had taken

lowed the man and his little wings no
one would have been surprised.
The machine became palmer to the
view Paulhan was descending. He
swept easily in front of the grand
stand after being nearly 81 minutes
in the air. AS he leaped from his
machine with cheeks glowing and
eyes flashing, he was seized by his
friends and carried to the edge Of the
grandstand where he barred his head
to the thunder of cheers that came in
his honor.

are alive is a question, but it is believed
tbre of them have survived the terrible

field resulted in a mishap. Hillary

ground in nice shape and flew about
100 fet, when the engines stopped. The
machin struck the ground heavily and
Cne of it's wings was broken. This will
put it out of commission for day
at the least. Beachy was not injured
beyond slight jarring. He is much
downcast on account of the accident,
as he had set his heart on flying to-
day
Louis Paulhan, the French av-
iator, broke all official and unofficial
records for altitude yesterday in a Far
man biplane. 1t is estimated that he
rose to a height Of 4,146 feet.
Paulhan exceeded Herbert Lat
hams record made at Mourmelon,
France, December 1, 1909, by at least
1000 feet Latham's record was
given at between 1000 and 1900 feet.
The instrument on Paulhan's machine
made his greatest height 4,600 feet.
The time in air was so minutes,
| 461-5 seconds. The time of descent
was minutes, 80 seconds.
Cortlandt Field Bishop announced
late tonight that the judges of the av-
iation events had finally calculated
the height of Paulhans great flight
at ALAG feet. These figures are Of

calculations are corrected
| Paulhan's aneroid barometer show

and the judges at first figured close

reduced to 4.146 feet.

the ranch his home until a few years
ago when his health began To fail and
he gave mp the ranch and moved to
ElkO.
For the last few years, Mr.. Crane has
been in poor health and his death this
morning was not unexpected. During
