senate committee. The statement
produced sensation, because the
name of Edward Hines, who Funk
has testified had asked him to con-

Funk said four detectives had fol-

Funk's statement about the detec-

the attorneys and members of the

conversation. The witness described
his personal relations with Lorimer,

Make Big Showing

Ellensburs, it is expected, will have
a number of prominent people pres
ent at the meeting today and it is
expected that Kennewick will also be
represented. If this proves to be the
case it Us altogether likely that Yak
ina representing the district from
Ellensburg to Kennewick, will occupy
one section of the building at Chicago
this fall. Each of the sections of
the. building is divided into ten spaces
and Yakima including this town.
Sunnyside. Zillah. Prosser. Toppenish
and Grandview, has already taken
six spaces An increase of four
more will give it an entire section and
that will enable of such representa-
tion of the Wealt hand products of
this part of Washington as to put any
rival on its tip toes to keep the pace.
The land show. the irrigation con-
gree and the live stock exposition are
all to be held in Chicago at the same
time and that city expects half mil
lion visitors to be attracted by the
