TO PUT BACK FRENCH CLOCKS.
Paris Time Will Probably Be Ma1'
to Coincide With Greenwich.

A bill to make Paris official time el}e-
eide with Greenwich time has beeus1ykp-
sented to the French senate
The bin was passed by the chambeFe6f
deputies several years ago. and has-bS<n
approved by the senate committees ahd
by the cabinet, so that in all proba bildtysft
will become law. sl1i
Paris time is nine minutes twenty-ooe e
seconds ahead of Greenwich time, IL d
upon the day prescribed by lawfhe
clocks indicating official time in Frauee
will be put back by that amount. BY the
adoption OF the change France will be
brought into the international system Of
standard time reckoning which Is now
followed In most civilized countries. On
this system the hour OF each successive
fifteen degrees of longitude reckoning
from the Greenwich meridian is used
for standard time hence the difference I'm

Democrats Organize the House.

was wise selection. In appearance he
remarkably resembles Gen. u. S. Grant,
but he suggests nothing harsh. He Is a

Marcum, VINO withdrew before the caucus.
In fact, the senatorial contest was elimi-
mated because the legislators refused to
line up that way and the senatorial con-
testants saw only embarrassment and no
advantage In mixing in, although that
was their original intention.

TO BOOST MEMBERSHIP

Although the city has increased
its population by a very large pei
cent during the past few months,
the membership of the Commercial
Club has remained practically sta
tionary..
Realizing that this is a bad sign,
and a condition not at all as it
should be, the Club had a lengthy
discussion at its last meeting as to
ways and means of increasing the
membership. Several plans were
advanced, but at last motion was
put and carried that the Club be
divided equally under two captains
and these rustic for new members
until next months meeting. Al
the end of that time the side turning

y0UNG MEN IN DIFFICULTY
Charged with Taking Meat from Pack
ins Company without Formality
of Paying for 1t

H. Hauser, proprietor of the In
dependent meat market and Gus
Rihm were charged with stealing
meat from the Kennewick Packing
company's meat house. Both un-
able to furnish bonds are in Jail at
Prosser awaiting trial.
Having missed meat for the past
week or two the Packing company
had the police keep closer watch
on their premises, and Wednesday
night the two men were seen max
ing away with a wagon load of meat.
Patrolman Peckenpaugh followed
the rig which made wide detour,
bringing up at the island, where
the meat was found.
EARLY in the morning the two
were arrested and Rihm confessed, :,
duplicating Hauser. Rihm, who is
German boy, can barely under
stand English, has been working for
the Packing company and obtained
a key to the rear door of the shop.
He boarded at the Hauser house
where the deal was made.
They were taken up before Judge
Staser for a preliminary hearing,
Hauser pleading mot Guilty" and
Attorney Kolb asked for a postpon-
ment of the trial, which was granted
until Monday.
Riem, not having an attorney
plead Guilty" and was turned
over to the Superior court under
$3.50 bonds, which he could not
furnish. He was taken to Prosser
on the evening train. It is under
stood that he has later obtained an
attorney and will change his plea.
The fine for the crime is two to
fifteen years, but the boy will like
ly get off easy for his evidence and
youth.

Smooth Confidence Man Who

The excitement among the real
estate men last week which was oc-
casioned by the brief sojourn in the
city of a parsonage who advertized
himself as R. M. Forget. multi
millionaire g son, has eliminated in
a alleged diamond theft. The stone

By q cleverly laid scheme, the
worthy Mr.. Forget is said to have

The dimond was obtained Monday

that city, while in the act of dis
posing of the gem. Spokane authori-
ties we're wired Immediately and

On Monday night of last week,
Mr.. Fox became acquainted with
Forget on the train while going from
Kennewick to Spokane. Fascinat-
ed by his tale of father enormous
ly wealthy. who is one of the lead
ing bankers of Montreal, Canada
and his deep interest in Kennewick
irrigated lands. Mr.. Fox was ex-
tremely friendly and invited Mr..
Forget to dinner at his home in the
Vallamont Apartments. Upon the
following day.. both returned to
Kennewick where Forget for several
days peddled hot air concerning
$50. 900 land deal to be pulled off
with the n. P.1. Co., Sunday
evening he wired his father in Mon
treal for 500, 900 in hard cash. Be-
fore reply could be received he took
the next train for Spokene, leaving
sundry bills to be paid by Mr.. Fox.
Early the following morning he
visited the Fox home and asked for
the diamond which he had heard
Mr.. Fox mention. So plausible was
his story, including bogus message
from her husband, that Mrs. Fox
gave him the diamond willingly.
Two hours later she learned of her
mistake and the police were called.
Owing to several minor circum-
stances it is thought Forget

Forget decided to console himself
with the diamond, and made away

r,hlicity committee at Tuesday
limits meeting of the Club after a
mind Of the business houses in an
.sort to secure subscriptions for the
necessary 5000 per month to finance
the plan.
The PRINCIPAL argument against
the plan, where an objection has
heen rsised, is that the city should
not be called upon to contribute
tovsrd railroad advertising. Moth
inc could be further from the facts
Of the case.
It's NOT railroad advertising in
any sense. The various forms OF
uublicity embraced in the plan are
to advertise ,Kennewick and Ken
newick alone. What shall or shall
not 20 into the booklets and adver-
tisements is absolutely up to the
Commercial Club. The railroad
simply contracts to furnish the city
about $4,000 worth Of high-class
publicity matter for S24OO and to
loan the city the use of its expert
writer's and photographers in its
preparation and arrangement.
At this Office there is a whole
portfolio of booklets which have
been issued by various committees
under this arrangement with the
Hartman lines. Any one interest.
ed may call and look them over.
They are beautiful specimens Of
publicity matter, and if, after ex-
amining them, any one can say that
they are railroad advertising in any
sense Of the word, we will eat the
whole outfit.
There is no question that the city
is being offered an unusual chance
to invest in something that it sorely
needs-good publicity-and the bus
