misunderstanding to the state
ment of Prof r. H. Whitbeck of
the university, those addicted to the
use of chocolate are as truly the vic
tins of a drug habit as the opium
fiend and the absinthe drinker. The
university instructor left the discus
sion of economic problems long
enough to advance the theory that the
excessive use of chocolate is often
due to the craving for stinlulant, Of
fered by the drug which the confec-
ton contains The statement was
modified, however, when the professor
explained that the desire is probably
the least harmful of all drug habits

Ashland.-Has a man a right to
kill a man who insults his wife?
This question was answered af-
firmativeIy by an Ashland jury in
the acquittal of Alvin Davis for the
murder of Thomas Pruss. Davis and
his wife arrived at Ashland on an
evening train last December. He left
his wife standing outside hotel when
he went inside to inquire for room.
Pruss, a drunken lumberjack, came
out of saloon and grossly insulted
the woman. Davis, coming out OF the
hotel, flew at the insulter like tiger,
knocked him down twice and killed
him with his bare hands. Davis has
been held without bonds since De-
cember 10.

STABLE BURNS

Fire completely destroyed the
stable on the A. Nevlow property
in Section 7 Tuesday evening. Mr..
Nevlow places his loss on the build
ing and contents at $500, partly
covered by insurance. A portion
of the building was used as a garage
and it is supposed the blaze started
by spontaneous combustion in some
oily rags which had been left lying
about the place. Mr.. Nevelow
had his automobile up town at
the time, so the machine was not
endangered. The principal loss
was aquantity of household goods
which had been stored in the build
ing.

MINSTREL SHOW NEXT FRIDAY

The long delayed Commercial
Club minstrel show will be given
next Friday night, June 28th, at
the Kennewick Opera House. The
show has been twice postponed
but it is sure enough 60 this time
and chorus and principals are put
ting in three hard rehearsals a week

will be without shadow of doubt
the best thing of it's kind ever given
in this city.
The end men will be G.. f. Han

will be a first-part chorus of twenty

on the market for at least that
length of time. This means that
our growers will invariably get
higher prices and more profit from
their crop than growers in other less
fortunately situated sections.
This year the average price re.
ceived by our growers will be at
least 81 cents per pound. Do a
little calculating and you will see
that the cherry tree is one of the
hest, if not the very best tree you
own. Those whose cherry orchards
are seven or eight years old are
just beginning to receive somewhere
near full returns, though the in
crease from these trees will be steady
for several year longer.

on the 1912 cherry crop from
Manager Collins of the Chas. H.

their own this year and have sur
prised their owners, outyielding by
several times the amount expected
from them.
Not only have the cherries
surprised their growers, but they
have made hit with the trade
that is the fruit did. The pack in
many cases did not meet with ap-
proval, but this is something that
can be remedied.

CONVENTION IN
TAFT CONTROL
Roosevelt Forces Say Their Defeat
Means the Formation of
a Third Party

At the time this paper goes to
press the national Republican con-
vention at Chicago was busy with
the report of the credentials COM
mittee which voted to report to the
convention at this (Friday) after
Moons session. The nominating
stage of the convention is not ex-
pected to be reached before Satur-
day afternoon.
The Taft strength on the creden-
tials committee is about three to
one, so that its report doubtless will
confirm in nearly every case the
rulings of the national committee
which seated the 78 Taft delegates
from contested districts, IA of whom
are from Washington state.
Should the convention accept the
report of the credentials committee,
it will leave the Taft strength SUBJ
stantially as it was on Tuesday
when the Roosevelt faction was de-
feated in the election of Elihu Root
as temporary chairman by vote of
558 to SOP.
The number of votes necessary to
nominate are $40. It is very un-
likely, however, that the Taft forces
will be able to poll sufficient votes
to nominate the President, from the
small majority shown by the vote
on temporary chairman. In the
case of deadlock the convention
may turn to Justice Hughes, of new
York, or to Governor Hadley, of
Missouri. A Hadley boom is being
nursed along and may be sprung if
the opportunity seems ripe.
If the Taft forces prove to have a
decisive majority of the delegates,
the Roosevelt men say they will sit
through the convention but will not
vote, but will hold another conven-
ton and nominate the Colonel in
August. following the Democratic
convention.

COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES
PROGRAM FOR FOURTH
No Dull Minutes. Day or Night-Two
Parades to be Made Big
Features

In another column will be found
the Fourth of July program as lined
up thus far by the celebration COM
mittee. While some small addi-
tions or changes may have to be
made later on, the program of the
day will stand substantially as pub
lished and shows that there will be
something for the crowd to see or do
from sun-up till far into the night.
A meeting of the parade commit
tee and teachers from the various
Sunday schools was held Tuesday.
It was decided that the little people
should have prominent part in
the parade and Rev. Rarey was ap-
pointed as subcommittee of one to
interest all the Sunday schools in
entering floats in the parade. A
prize banner will be awarded to the
Sunday school having the best ap-
pearing float and the largest rep
resentation in the parade, in pro-
portion to the June enrolment.
This will give all the schools, large
or small, an equal chance for the
prize. R. c. Mounsey and E. w.
Trenbath are in charge of other de-
tails of the parade which will con-
sist of a large float carrying Miss
Columbia and children representing
states, floats provided by business
houses, etc. Miss Columbia has
not yet been appointed. 1t is hoped
that large number of the business
houses will enter floats in the line.
Scott Henderson, as marshall of the
day, will look after the parade for
nation.
Afterthe formal program ofspeak-
ing, which will be held at the plat.
form at Third and Yakima, from 10
to II, the races will occupy the at
tention of the crowd. All races,
except the flag race, will be run on
Yakima street from the canal to
Second street, and will commence
promptly at II O'Clock. 1t is the
intention of the committee to have
all the events as nearly on the
scheduled time as possible, in order

Japanese maidens, a male quartette.

cloud OF dust, did considerable
damage throughout the city. The
big electric sign on the Hotel Ken

false wooden front on the old bank
building was blown over and the
large sheet iron signboard on east

LARGE part of the damage was due
to the water and smoke.
The bursting of the plate glass

short time. 1t is supposed that the
from one of the big center
sl;ohts burned, dropping upon the
decorations which filled the store,
Spreading the flames throughout the
room.
While the worst damage was done
IN tho shelving and under tn e
counter near the center of the store,
goods all thru the room were slight
" damaged by the flames which
we're spread by the streamers of
bunting. The two streams of water
which we're played into the room
before the blaze could be located
damaged much of the stock which
otherwise could have been saved.
The dense smoke from the smould-
ering goods hindered effective work
by the fire department.
The loss was covered by insurance,
and the adjustments are now being
made: The damage to the building
has been settled for and the work
ofrepairing will be done as soon as
the stock can be moved out.
Mr.. Bellows has announced that
be will occupy the room next to the
post Office with the saleable stock,

place as soon as the adjustments
have been completed. In addition

TURNS
TABLES ON PRoSSER
Sundays 3 to Victory for Locals
Makes it One Apiece-Rubber
to be Played Later

Kennewick went to Prosser last
Sunday and beat the county seat
bunch by score of 5 to 8 in an in
teresting game. The score should
have been 5 to l as Prosser's only
earned run was a home run by
Fatty" Taylor in the second inn
ing, which. by the way, was the
longest hit ever seen on the Prosser
grounds.
Kennewick played tight game
in the field, in spite Of a switched
around lineup, until the last inn-
ing when they loosened up and let
in a couple of more Prosser tallies
on a brace of errors.
Larkin let Prosser down with only
four hits, and struck out 10. Sipes,
pitching for Prosser, was batted
safely 10 times and struck out II.
A third game, to decide which is
the better team will doubtless be
played soon and should draw a
record crowd.
