LOCAL TEAM TO BATTLE WITH
UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON AT ARMORY ON
MARCH II.
AFTER INTERSTATE HONORS
Vancouver Athletic Club Coming
For Contest Saturday Night--Wash-
ington State College Boys From
Pullman to FolIOw-Result VIII
Determine Championship.

Dallas will close its basket ball
season in this city Monday. March
II, when it meets the fast University
of Washington basketball five on the
local floor. Prior to that game,
there will be played two other games
the first upon next Saturday evening,
and the second upon the Thursday
following, when the locals will try
conclusions with the Washington
State College team here.
Next Saturday evening, the Van
couver Athletic club team of Van
couver, Washington, will be here.
Vancouver has defeated the Multno-
NAH club team-defeated them the
week before Multnomah played in
this city--and they will come to Dali
las an undefeated team. This team
which In past years has gone under
the name of the "Tillicum Club" is
probably the fastest team in the State
of Washington, with the possible ex-
ception of Washington State college
and the University of Washington.
This is the first big Interstate game
to be played here this season and a
good crowd should turn out.
Washington Champions.
The Vancouver boys claim the IT,
tie of Washington champions, that
is, outside of the universities, and
Dallas claims the oregon champion
ship. If Dallas defeats Vancouver,
the team here can then rightfully
claim the championship of both Or
egon and Washington. outside of in
ter-collegiate circles. Then II 1t de-
feats Washington State college and
the University of Washington, there
is nothing to bar them of the claim
to the full championship in basket
ball in the two states. Both of the
Washington schools have defeated the
University of oregon and the oregon
Agricultural college by decisive
scores. This fact will lend much in
terest to the two contests TO be play
ed here.
The game Saturday night will be
most interesting. It will not be call
ed until p. m. for the benefit OF
the business men. Seats will be
placed on sale Thursday at the Fuller
Pharmacy.

of $1,000 Within Short Time.

Young, pretty and demure, Mrs.
Myrtle Enes, wife of the station ag-
ent at Perrydale, was arrested Sat-
urday, by Captain Baty, of Portland,
after he and his force of detectives
had wrestled for two days with what
they term the knottiest problem in
their experience Charged with steal
ing $500 worth of silver and clothing
from a woman friend, and identified
by two pawnbrokers, Mrs. Enes
maintains a steadfast denial, and
brings two witnesses to establish an
alibi for her. When a handwriting
expert was called and identified the
pawnticket signature as her writing,
the scalebeam tipped against her,
says the Oregonian, and she went to
Jail, to be released in a short time
under $1,000 bail. Mr.. and Mrs. Enes
have lived at Perrydale several
months.

A week ago Mrs. NJ. A. Mcdonald,
of 71O East Madison street, returned
home to find her house stripped of
valuables. including her furs and
clothing. She notified the police and
Detective Mallet and Moloney found
that the house must have been enter
ed by key which hung in secret
place, and that the entry was effect
ed by someone who knew the place.
When her friend Mrs. Enes was
suggested. she was positive that there
was nothing in the suspicion, but
allowed the detectives to take a pic

hibited to the pawnbroker in whose
shop part of the goods was found
was positively identified as that of the
person who brought them in.

power in Mexico seemed for a
 time to rest in his hands and the
 man was set down as a budding
 military and political genius. IL
 was not then too much to pre-
 dict that he would become abso-
 lute dictator of Mexico. There
 seemed no limit of his posSibili-
 ties, any more than there are
 limits to the possibilities of any genius.
 In the light of late develop ments it is likely that the full re- alizatiOn will be by way of anti climax. The time seems near at hand when. he will have been re- duced to a mere fugitive desper- ado with price on his head. Military reverse after military reverse has reduced his once proud army to the brink of dis solution. Being magniflcently stubborn, if nothing else, the man will not yield, and announces that in the event of another defeat he will take to the hills with a band of followers to conduct a hope less guerrilla warfare.
 Now this change in his for tunes cannot be charged up as a prank of Fate or attributed to the changing fortunes of war. It simply develops the fact that Orozco isn't genius after all anI consequently is not to share the rewards of genius. Had the man been other than common clay he would have foreSeen that the pre- pondcrancc of federal field artil- lcry was 10 crush him and would have provided against that men ace. Effective reconnaissance would have warned him. Had thc fire of genius been his he would have hy some mastcrly mancuvcr routed the clumsy army pilfcd against him in spite of superior artillery fire, for that matter.
 Maturing as inc gcnuis he gave promise of being, OroZco's name would have been written large in history, possibly larger than that of DiaZ. But now that he clearly is only a man of tal- rnt, it. is not improbable that he will end up at the business end of hangman's rope. Wk.rcupon history will record him as a mere upstart.

PRACTICE vs. PREcEPT.

Judge Cornelius II. IIanford, after having administered the oath of office to Judge Cushman, advised the latter to beware of criticism and 10 administer the law firmly and rightly. This piece of cheap clap-trap, coming from inc source from which it eminat- cd, was a gratuitous insult to both Judge Cushman and the public generally.
 It might have been different had Judge lIanfnrd practiccd what he preached, but his past career in no wise sanctions him |" prat" upon righteousness, be ji of inc hcnch or of the ordinary walks of life. His past career has been loo hlack-hycd tn be GOV cred by a mere SrInhlancr of up- ri"htncSS.
 Long ago. Judge lTanfOrd has been weighed by the people and found wanting. True. there are those of the press and bar. who are doing their best tD save the judge from the disgrace of his impending fate, but a little close study will easily reveal the un- derlyinG motives actuating those who are putting forth an appar- emily disintcrcsled defense for him. They are of those who for inc most part have directly ben rliicd by Judge IIanfOrd'S inter- prriation of the law; it would prove a great loss to them to- lose the services of so pliant a friend, SO obliging a neighbor.
 But the people, the thinking and rrilcciing element of the community. have long since lost what lille respect they once held for Judge IIanfnrd. Tn" trend of his decisions, his immediate as Snriatrs. his personal behavior, from Inc great body of the pub lie who believe in iirnlnrSS and riHhIrOUSncSS on the bench. and equally drSpiSr laVOritiSm. cup larger interests. To call over the select roll of his receivers. those who have falIrnrd rich on the pa trunaGr of the court. is tO make dn open book of ilc courts past. .aFiltr. never gracrd the cabin of his pirate ship with a more willing crew, tn either loot or sculll". when tn" occasion should arise.
 Personally. Judge 'iIanfurd has for years lent his name as a di- rector Io questionable c0rpOra- lions with stock for sale and nothing tn give in return. The federal hrr ril was thus used to separate the unwary from their horde. lIr has retained, drfrnd- cd and excused drunken and ihi"ving Subnrdinal"S, until inc department of justice was, in self defense. compelled tn cith- "r discharge nr incarrrraIr them in tn" p"niI"nIiary.
 Tn" pcnpl" of Seattle know Judg" iIaufnrd only loo well. and if il wcr" left iu them, his career "n in" bench would como io an abrupt termination. Had Judge 1fanrnrd followed thr advice he So brazcnly thrust upon a clean man, Inc would not today bc fac ing Impeachment proceedings. He may escape his just dues: his powerful allies may beg, borrow and buy enough evidence to save his judicial hide, but all the money in Inc slate could ncvcr regain for him tho respect of the great mass of the people. He may continue to fill Inc functions of his high office, but his days of usefulness arc gone. His case is concrete example of inc ncccs- sily of n law permitting tbc pco- plc to recall Their judges when they have been weighed and found wanting.
