Refusal Of the local Mallory Line once

he was incoming at half speed, and,
slowing down, steered far to starboard
to avoid the outbound boat. The El
Sud. however, appeared TO have put
across her bow and was rammed I'm her
port side near the forward hatch, more
than half way through the vessel and
from deck to keel.
some Of the crew of the FL Sud jumped

while for time panic reigned on the
Denver. All but one boatload Of the FL
Sud's crew returned when they saw the
boat was seaworthy the one being
picked up by the Denver as she lay at
anchor, twenty miles from the docks, TO
give assistance.
Captain Forbes Of the FL Sud said he
heard the Denver's whistles. but they
sounded to him on his port side until TOO
late TO get out of the way. The FL Sud
was able to reach the Southern Pacific
docks with the aid Of two tugs and the
pilot boat Texas. She is now lying about
thirty feet I'm the water, and the exact

determined. Much Of the cargo Of cot

HEIRESS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Shoots Herself in Hotel and Then
Telephones to Manager.

Boston, April 21-Aftcr shooting her
self through the left breast shortly be-
fore o o'clock this morning in her room
at the Parker House, Judith Rice the
daughter Of a wealthy merchant of Salt
Lake City, telephoned to the clerk to
have the manager sent to her room and
then collapsed on the floor.
A bellbOy was sent to the room to
find out why the manager was wanted,
and when he knocked on the door he
heard woman's voice gasp: 'T've shot
myself; send for an undertaken" A
physician was quickly summoned and
she was sent TO Grace Hospital, where
at late hour tonight she was waver-
ing between life and death.
on the table In her room was a note,
which read: kindly telephone TO Mrs.

nhone is No. 2,292 Columbus. Send her
the box with my things in it, Az my
clothes may be useful TO some one I

II is understood the motive for her
attempts at suicide was the fact that
recently she had been informed by her
New York physician that she would have
n undergo an operation before she could
regain her health.
Miss Rice was an art model and formerly
lived with Mrs. Alice E. Sayre. at No. 3s

Miss Eureka Ely, teacher of the third
grade, was operated upon for appendi-
citis last week in Spokane DR.. Lam
bert, who had charge of Clark Mauk,
performed the operation. Miss Ely is
improving rapidly and will soon be able
to take up her school work. Miss
Church and Mrs. McClaskey have sup
piled in her place.
Mrs. Jenny will spend the weekend
at her home near Grandview.
AS Thursday was Washington birth
day and legal holiday, there was no
school.
The new shades for the windows in
the new bu ilding have arrived and been
put in place. They are quite an i'm
provement over the ordinary shades, as
they can be worked at both bottom and
top.
The grade boys in the high school
building have formed basket ball teams
and they play in the morning before
school. The girls practice at noon and
the regular team, after school.
The basket ball game at Pasco was
won by Kennewick by score of 3O-17

umpire. The game was very well
played. Friday (tonight) the team
goes to Prosser to beat them on thei
own floor. An effort was made to get
a special car as was done last year but
the prices were too high. The team is
considerably weakened by Boone's
absence. He was called to Hartford but
will be back later.
The program to be given Friday, Feb
ruary %, by the Literary Society of the
seventh B grade is as follows: Music by
the society; original story by Wade
King; debate, Resolved: That Gram
mar IS more useful study than Arith-
metic.' On the affirmative are Sheri-
dan Delepine and John Lewis; Ferrol
Bowers and Goldie Piersol are for the
negative. There will be recitation by
Mrs. Jenny and music by the society.
The debate concerning the treatment
of the Indian by the white man, which
was in the seventh A, was won by the
negative. In the Washington Lincoln
debate in the sixth A grade, Washing
ton was the hero of the day.
Most of the grades had Washington
day programs.

We are glad to welcome a new ad-

c. E. Hitler, who is starting a small
poultry plant near the North Side
School. In forming the acquaintance
of Mr.. Hitler we find he is no novice
at the poultry business, having been
employed eight years by the Clarinda
Co., operators of five of the largest
poultry plants in the United States.
He was superintendent of their Cres-
ton, Iowa, plant and his collection of
photos, figures and literature is most
interesting.
Mrs. R. w. Bignell had birthday

occasion to very pleasantly entertain
about fifteen members Of her family

pass quickly, after which the hostess,
assisted by Misses Hoadley and Burlin-

the guests presented her with two cut

some case of measles. During her i'll
ness her sister, Miss Violet Anderson,
is assisting at the paint store.
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. E. A. Orr
and Mrs. A. C. Hart entertained the
primary and intermediate classes in the
Congregational Sunday school, at the
home of Mrs. Orr. Almost every child
was present, in spite of the rain, and
they had the time of their lives play
ing games. After the shower was
over, and the sun came out brightly the
little folks had a great time playing
out doors. Refreshments were served
at the close of the afternoon by their
teachers.
Prosser loses a good citizen in the
person of George Longmuir who has
been transferred to Kennewick and
Pasco. Mr.. Longmuir has had charge
of the company's affairs in this city
ever since they took it over, and has
made very efficient officer. We are
glad that he is called to larger fielc
of work which presumably carries with
it larger salary, but we regret to lose
him as a citizen. We can say with
assurance that our neighboring cite.
will find in him worthy gentleman
in whom they can trust implicitly. =
