DEATH Of ". +. BROWN

William Franklin Brown, aged
81, died Sunday afternoon at the
Koontz Hotel. His death was the
result of an attack of pneumonia
which confined him to his room
for seven days. Mr.. Brown was
stranger here, having been in Ken
newick only two weeks previous to
his death. He was prominent
citizen of Tonganoxie, Kansas,
where he resided with his family
for the past twenty-five years. His
wife did not arrive until late Tues
day evening and was unaware that
his illness had proved fatal until
after she reached here. The shock
completely unnerved her, but she
recovered sufficiently to begin the
several days journey back to their
old home with her husbands body
Wednesday evening.
Two weeks ago, Mr. Brown bid
farewell to his Kansas friends and
started for Kennewick with Geo.
Finley, the two men being in charge
of two carloads of cattle, shipped
from Tonganoxie, to this city for
the Columbia Valley Creamery. He
expected to find new home some
where in the valley if he could
select a suitable location. While
coming over the mountains the
change of climate caused Mr.. Brown
to contract a severe cold, which
later developed the complications
which resulted in pneumonia. Two
trained nurses, a physician and the
constant attendance of Geo. Finley,
Fay F. Dean and others, who i'm
mediately became friends of the
sick man, failed to save Mr.. Browns
life, although he was given every
care and attention throughout his
entire illness. During the most
critical stage, Mr.. Finley was with
him night and day and did all that
a friend could to make his last
hours less lonely.
| Saturday a telegram was sent to
Mrs. Brown, but many delays in
train service failed to bring her to
kennewick in time to see her hus-
band alive. Although Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown had no acquaintance here,
they found many warm friends to
help them in their double affection
of illness and death, and Mrs.
Brown has the sympathy of the en-
tire community in her bereavement.
she was entertained at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Finley and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. n. Conahy while in the
city. Mr.. and Mrs. Fay F. Dean
went to Wallula to meet her Tues
day afternoon but failed to see her
as she came by different route.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. f. A. Orr of the Congre-
gational church at the Mueller un-
dertaking parlors at four O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Orr
spoke few words of sympathy and
comfort to the few friends who were
present to condole with Mrs. Brown
and the Congregational choir sang
Mr.. Browns favorite song, Nearer

SAYS HE WAS HIRED TO SPY.
John Delaney, at Muskogee, Confesses
to Alleged Plot With
Union Official.

Muskogee, Okla.-John Delaney, a
structural iron worker, has confessed to
Harry Eagen, a representative of the
Muskogee police, in the presence of wit
nesses, that he had been employed by
John j. Mcnamara, secretary and treas
urer of the International Association of
Bridge and Iron Workers of America, to
travel throughout the country carefully
inspecting all structures being erected
by nonunion labor, securing carefully
made drawings of such structures and
marking the spot with a cross where
dynamite could be most easily placed
and would be most effective.
Delaney in his confession declared
that it was his duty to forward the
drawings to John J. Mcnamara and he
did forward them. He still has few
such drawings bearing the crossmarks
in his possession, with letters of instruc-
tions addressed to him and purporting to
be signed by Mcnamara.

FORMER PRESIDENT AND
ROOT MAY BE SUMMONED
Conflicting Testimony of Gates and
Gary Necessitates More Light on
Purchase of Company.

Washington.-Directly opposite testi-
mony given before the Stanley steel
trust probe committee by John w. Gates
and Ebert H. Gary may result in the
summoning of former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt and former Secretary
of State Root to tell what they know of
the deal by which the steel trust COB
bled up the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company.
Mr.. Gates told the committee that the
absorption of the coal and iron COM
pany by the steel trust was regarded by
him as a forced sale, while Mr.. Gary on
the stand said that the taking over of
the company by the steel corporation
was in the nature of a benefcent act to
avoid a serious money panic.
The head of the steel trust also testi-
fed that the whole matter was laid be-
fore President Roosevelt at that time,
and in order to reconcile the statements
of the two witnesses the committee is
now seriously considering summoning
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root.

IRRIGATION PLANS VARY.
Whirling Sprinklers to Be Used on Ex-
tensive Scale in Quincy
District

Irrigation by means of large whirl-
ing sprinklers is to be tried on an ex
tensive scale this season in the Quincy
district, on tract of land a few miles
south of Winchester" says s. o. Jones,
state agent in charge of United States
irrigation investigations. "The sprink
lers, of greater size and capacity than
those commonly used on city lawns, are
being designed and manufactured.
"The idea is not new, and irrigation
by means of whirling sprinklers has
been successfully and proftably prae
ticed in various places in connection
principally with truck farming opera
tions, but to undertake the irrigation of
general field crops by this means is
something of an innovation.
"Sprinkling by whatever system is a
more expensive way of irrigating than
by means so far commonly employed,
and it will doubtless be some time be-
fore it is very generally practiced, but
in places where water is very expensive
or where the land is either too irregular
to permit of grading, or so sandy that
heavy losses occur by deep percolation.
irrigation by some system of sprinkling
may often be proftably done. Costs OF
installation and operation are heavy
for such systems, however, and inten
sive farming, yielding large returns pei
acre must be the rule where sprinkline
systems are employed.

AMERICAN WOMEN PLEASE.
Mrs. Reid, Wife of American Ambassa,
dor, Creates Sensation at London
Ball-Season Is Gay.

London-Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife
of the American ambassador, amazed
London by the dress she wore at the
duchess of Devonshire ball recently.
1t was made of mother of pearl and
crystal beads so closely worked together
as to actually form the material of
cloth. The skirt was plain, but the
sleeves and body were hung with deep
and heavy fringes of crystals more than
a foot long and over this corsage was
network of pearls besides her other
jewels.
Mrs. Reid remarked that she could
never wear the gown again because of
it's great weight. She showed her
fatigue by sitting the greater part of
the evening in the big drawing room,
not moving until supper.
Mrs Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati,
who accompanied Mrs. Reid, wore blue
satin covered all over with dove colored
tulle worked with diamonds and pearls
as jewels. Society is talking of the ex-
treme graciousness of Queen Mary to
Mrs. Taft. She eonversed with her
considerable time and as she left the
queen shook hands, and turning to 60,
looked over her shoulder and said
"I was particularly pleased to meet
with Mrs. Taft. She is one of the incest
women have met in long while.'
Social functions such as house parties,
dinners and balls, incident to the coro-
nation, are becoming so numerous that
combined with the unusually hot wealth
er, they are driving the people to seek
outdoor recreation and the theater man
ayers are the losers.
Lord and Lady Derby Saturday held
grand dinner and ball at Derby house.
King George and Queen Mary attended
the dinner, but on account of mourning
for Prince John of Denmark, left be-
fore the dancing began.

President TAFT In CHICAGO
Speech TELLS OPPOSERS
OF RECIPROCITY.
Lumber Trust and Print Paper Makers
Real Opponents of His Proposed
This Country-Thinks 1t Will Pass
in Congress Public Is for 1t.

Chicago.-President Taft, in a speech
before the Western Economic society
here, declared tina the principal oppo-
sition to the Canadian reciprocity
agreement came not from the farmer,
but from the "lumber .trust' and from
American manufacturers of print paper.
In one of the most vigorous addresses
he has ever made on the subject the
president outlined some of the methods
employed by the opponents of reci-
procity, practically told the farmers
that they were being "buncoed" by
special interests and said the fate of
the agreement rested, not SO much with
the United States senate as with the
people of the country.
| eff the farmer and the country at
large" he said, "could be brought to
understand that this treaty was in the
interest of the majority of the people
L would no longer fear the coming vote
IN the senate.
The president was not sparing in his
words. He told the reasons for the
opposition to the treaty by the "lum-
Der trust" and by the paper manufac-
turers and, without using names,
scored a New York firm, some of
whose members recently appeared at
the hearings before the senate finance
committee in Washington ostensibly in
behalf of the national grange and OBJ
jected to the enactment of the agree
ment.
, In spite of the forces that are arrayed
against it, the president expressed the
! belief that the agreement would become
law.
"The bill," he said, twill pass if il
passes at all because Of the force Of

The timely question of "The Pana-
ma Canal and Sea Power in the Pa
cifc' will be treated in the June Cen
tury by Rear Admiral A. T. Mahan of
the United States navy (retired), and
the author of "The Influence of Sea
Power on History" He will point out
the reasons why he considers it i'm
perative to fortify the canal, the impor-
lance of Panama to British sea power
and the vital Importance of Panama to
the United States; and discuss certain
critical questions in the Pacific. He de-
clares that influence in the Pacific, not
supremacy, should be Americas aim,
and dwells upon the Importance of the
canal to Anglo-Saxon influence.
