CHIEF WAPPENSTE|N
IS FOUND
Guilty
FORMER HEAD OF SEATTLE PO-
LICE CONVICTED, OF REcElv-
ING BIG BRlBE.

Seattle. July 3.--Formor Chief of po-
lice Charles w. Wappenstcin Mas found
guilty tonight of accepting n bribe of
$1,000 last August for permitting Gid
con Tupper and Clarence j. Gerald
To operate disorderly houses in the
old King street vice district. The jury
was out seven and a half hours.
This was the second trial of Wap-
penstein on the bribery charge, the
jury having disagreed in the previous
hearing. The defense today waived the
right to argue. the state alone sum
ming up the case.
Immediately after receiving the YER
diet, the court adjourned without in
dicating when sentence will be passed.
Wappenstein Is already under bonds
of $4,000 on seven other indictments.
No additional bond was required to-
night. The eases against Wappen-
stein are closely related to the recall
election held last February when for
mer Mayor Hiram c. gill was ousted
In favor of Mayor George w. Dilling.
Demand had been made that Mr.. Gill
remove Wappenstein. his chief of po-
lice, but Gill refused and the recall
movement followed. Wappenstein re-
signed shortly after Gill went out of
office.

Minister Behind Movement.

Shortly after the recall election a
special grand jury was called to con-
slider evidence of detectives employed
several months before by DIR. Mark A.
Matthews, pastor of the / irst Pres
byteran church.
Gideon Tupper and Clarence j. Ger
aid, the alleged bribe givers, were the
states principal witnesses in the two
trials of Wappenstein. TO substan-
tiate the evidence of Tupper and Ger
aid, bank records were introduced
showing that sWappensten had depos-
tied large sums of money at the time
the alleged bribes were paid.
The defense sought to show that this
money came from e. b. Benn, former
mayor of Aberdeen, WASH, and a
brother law of Wappenstein.
Charles w. Wappenstein started his
police career as a member of the Gin
patrolman, became detective and was
promoted to chief of detectives, from
which position he was removed by the
police commission June Z, 1885. From
Cincinnati, Wappenstein went to Port :
land, Ore, where he worked for pri-
Vate detective agency. Coming to
Seattle, he entered the police depart
ment as detective, serving from
June "A, 1901, when he was reduced to
patrolman. He was reappointed a
detective August /, 1904, and on May
5, 1906, was appointed chief of police,
serving until the spring OF 1908.

DEADLY EXPLOSION
IN ALABAMA COAL MINE
One Hundred Twenty-Five Lives
Lost-Fire Damp Stops
Work of Rescue

LITTLETON, Ala. April S.-One
hundred to 1875 miners believed to
have met death by an explosion in
the Banner mines of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal company near here
early today. Less than half a
dozen bodies had been recovered when
the work Of rescue was temporarily
suspended at night fall.
The ventilating fans were destroyed
and deadly black damp generated by
the explosion menaced all who At
tempted to enter the workings. May
be several days before all the dead
are recovered. Late this afternoon
all safe survival of the miners was
given up. While no official state
ment has been made it is believed the
explosion was caused by safety powd
er ignition by lamp and followed by
dust There were 40 men in all, only
of whom were FREQ laborers, the
rest convicts, mostly negroes Forty
five of the miners either reached the
outside in safety or got within hailing
distance in the shaft and were taken
out by rescuers

NO EXHIBIT
BY COUNTY
New Classification of Fruits VIII
be in Force at the State
Fair This Fall
PICK TWELVE VARIETIES
OF FIRST IMPORTANCE
Report of Washington State Ag
ricultural Association Commit
tee Submitted to Fairs OF State
and Will Probably be Adopted

There will be no contest by coun-
ties for the best apple display at the
state fair this fall. Any individual
grower of Chelan or Kittitas or Spo-
kane is free to compete against indi-
vidual growers of Yakima, or Benton,
and carry off the awards if he can
produce the goods, but neither east
or west side counties will be able to
say that there is no use to try to
go against Yakima at the state fair
for reasons connected with geogra-
ply and transportation.
This change comes about from
the adoption of n new classification
for fruit for fairs held in Washing
ton by the Washington state Agricul
tural association. The classification
gives every section of the northwest
an equal opportunity owing to the
fact that the favored apple of each
locality has been recognized and com
petition placed on each separate va
riety instead of on collections
Exhibits by Growers.
There will, of curse, be collective
exhibits by growers, but the county
rivalry on the collection basis is elm
mated.
The classification report of the
committee appointed by the state
Agricultural society to report on
classification named twelve apples as
first in commercial Importance an
prominence. They are the Jonathan,
Rome Beauty, Wagenes, Spleen
berg, Winesap, yellow Newtown,
Northern Spy, Baldwin, Gravenstein,
W. w. Pearmain, Arkansas Black
and Grimes Golden. 1t suggests that
where fairs offer in excess of $40
for each variety, the exhibits he
made in five box single tier layers,
growerS to be the exhibitors. ana mat
first. second, third and fourth prizes
be awarded.
In the second section the commit
tee places the following ten Varie-
ties of next importance, the varieties
to be shown in single tier trays, en-
tries to consist of from three to five
trays: King of Tompkins County.
Delicious, Staymen Winesap. McIn-
tosh Red, Ben Davis, Gano, Fameuse,

and Wealthy.
All other varieties, it is recon-

LITTLE BOY AND HIS DREAM.

LITTLE BOY AND HIS DREAM.
The little boy smiled in his sleep that
night,
And his face lit up with a heavenly
light
Through the shadows that drifted
down;
But he woke next morning with tear
stained eye
In the light of the gray dawn's
CLEAN,
AID out of the stiffness we heard
him cry:
give lost my dream-my dream. -
And he told us then in his childish
OF the wonderful dream he'd
known;
He had wandered away from the land
of play
To the distant Land of the Grown
He had won his share of the fame and
light
In the struggle and toll Of men:
And he sobbed and sighed in the
breaking light.
IT want my dream again!"
AS the years passed by the Little
Boy grew
Till he came to the Land Of the
Grown;
And the dream of his early youth
came true.
The dream that he though. had
flown:
Yet once again he smiled in hi,
sleep,
When those nearby might have heard
him weep,
IT want my dream-my dream!"
For he dreamed of the Yesterdays II

THE FRUIT YIELD
WILL BE GOOD
Reports Are That Such Damage IS
Has Been Done Is Neither
General Nor Extensive

There seems to be no reason to be-
lieve that, as yet, any serious damage
has been done to the fruit crop as
Whole. This may appear remark
able, considering the depths to which
the temperature fell but it is accord
ing to the best judgment of expert
enced orchard men of the valley. No
denial is made of the fact that in
some sections and particularly some
orchards have suffered severely or of
the other fact that the sweet cherries
and other early and delicate fruits
have been killed but the main fruit
crops of the valley are apples, pears
and peaches and those who should
know say they are practically unin-
jured as yet. Such frost as has pre-
vailed has been sufficient merely to
assist in the thinning which would
otherwise be necessary
Fruit at Fruitvale
Even in Fruitvale where the dam
age is heaviest in this neighborhood
old orchardmen who have taken the
trouble to climb to the tops of their
trees say there are plenty of good
blossoms and that there will be rs
many peaches as the trees can f1lu-
ture
Fred Thompson, who was in the
city Saturday from his Parker Bot
tom ranch said he had not had the
opportunity to make any investiga-
tons except on his own land but that.
to date, his orchard is all right.
Walter Granger of Zillah made the
same report regarding his orchard.
w. P. Romans, who was at Zillah
Saturday, reported that the damage
was for the most part confined to
orchards on the lower levels. Peter
Bach of Fruitvale says there is plenty
of fruit on his trees. And thus It
| is that the reports run. One Mckee
rancher in the city Saturday de-
clared that 1t was certain up to this
time that his peaches are all right.
In a general way 1t has been said
that there is damage below the level
of the Hubbard ditch but a lot of
peach trees in city back yards are as
good as anyone's on the crest Of Mob

LAND TRANSFERS OVER
THREE MILLION MARK
From the First of the Year the
Transfers Total More Than
the Amount Named

According to the compilation of
the Yakima Title Guaranty and Alb
stract company, the transfers of real
property in Yakima county since the
first of the year have passed the three
million dollar mark, aggregating
$3,0S3, 1924. During the past week
there have been some transfers with
large considerations which is indica-
tive of an active market, especially in
big properties. Numerous smaller
transfers show that there is consid-
erahle doing in small acre tracts. The
special rates are bringing in some
settlers, though not as many as had
been expected, but enough to keep
the recorders in the county auditors
office busy.

NO FENCES IN
THE TETON
Settlers New Sections Asking Com
rnissiouers to Restrict Cattle
From Running at Large

In the irrigation districts being
opened up in the vicinity of North
Yakima, the people setting out orch
ards are becoming interested in the
"No fence" idea, for the reason that
IL will save them money, in almost
every instance, enough to pay for the
trees to cover their area of land
In the old days when homesteads
amounted to 100 acres it was a COM
paratively small matter to fence that
area, but now when ranches ranging
from five to 40 and 80 acres in ex-
tent are fenced the cost becomes con-
siderable Fence posts are becoming
more expensive and the cost Of
barbed wire is greatly Increased. The
idea Of fencing and cross fencing
these smaller tracts is not meeting
with favor
$4,000 Acres Being Opened
There are some $4,000 acres being
opened up and coming under water
in the near future in the vicinity of
North Yakima and the sentiment
among the owners of land here seems
to be in favor of the no-fence idea.
In the section of the Teton project,
which comes under water this spring,
the settlers are preparing to ask the
county commissioners that no live
stock be allowed to run at large. If
this action is taken the necessity for
fences is done away with.
At the last session of the iegisla-
tUre there was enacted a law relative
to live stock running at large and
covering the conditions mentioned.
