RECALL
AGAINST GOV.
JOHNSON

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug.
ga petition for the recall of
Governor Hiram w. Johnson is in
circulation here today. The osten-
sible head of the movement is
Alva Udell, a lawyer and politi-
clan of San Francisco. AS far
as can be learned he has no back
ing. Ud-ll sent out today set
of circulars in which democrats
and socialists are particularly
urged to aid the movement.
Udell sets forth the alleged eff
fort of the state administration to
control presidential electors
through the new primary law.
In the recall petition Udell
makes an additional charge that
Governor Johnson has approved
legislation intended to foster land
grabbing by wealthy individuals
and corporations" but nowhere is
there any amplification or explain
alton of this charge.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 26.
Governor Hiram Johnson voiced
defiance today to the circulators
of petition for his recall as chief
executive of California. After
leaving his train at the Santa Fe
station early today he said re-
garding the petition which had its
inception in San Francisco:
This recall talk is all rot. I
have known for some time that
Pat Calhoun and John D. Spreck-
els and the clique they represent
were to circulate petition. Be
fore leaving Sacramento l was
told they were offering SIS name
for signers.

thirty dollars, the amount necessary
for the purchase of the three largest
pictures of the exhibit. Miss Nell

The exhibit of the Turner Art
Pictures at the high school last
Thursday afternoon and evening
was in every was successful and will
result in the addition to the local
schools of number of fine repro
ductions of the best known pictures.
A pleasing program was rendered
both afternoon and evening, the
drills and songs of the children
representing a great deal of pains
taking effort on the part of the
teachers. The singing, particularly
of the seventh grade and of the
girls of the eighth grade, was es-
pecially commendable and reflects
much credit upon Miss Shier, the
supervisor of music. The pictures
in the collection were from the best
known artists, all schools and peri
DDS of art being represented. Re-
productions in browns and grays
were hardly up to the standard Sc
by the Copley Prints but were none
the less well executed and particu-
larly desirable for home and school
decoration. In the afternoon the

TRAINS KILL ONE
|NJURE ANOTHER
Unknown Man Killed on S. P. &
S.-Colored Farm Hand badly
Bruised at N. P. Bridge.

An unknown man was found
dead on the S. P. & S. tracks Tues
day short distance this side of
Finley. The body was that of
man about % to rs years of age,
well dressed and of lightcomplexion.
There were no marks found on the
body or clothing by which an iden-
tifcation could be made by the
coroner's jury which held an in
quest Wednesday.
The man had evidently tried to
get off the moving train near Fin
ley, as marks of an attempt could
be seen for some seventy-five feet
from where the body was found.
Outside of a severe bruise on the
head no marks could be detected.
The body was brought to Kenne-
newick and interrment was made in
the Kennewick cemetery.
Charlie Cowan, a colored man,
who has worked for Geo. D. Peters,
on the Highlands. for the past
three years, suffered an accident
Christmas day, which narrowly es-
capped being fatal. He had been in
Pasco and was returning across the
bridge, when, just as he left the
trestle on this side, he stepped off
the tracks to let No. 4 pass. He
seems not to have stepped far
enough away, and the beam on the
engine struck him, throwing him
some distance.
He was picked up by the train
crew and carried into Pasco where
he was put into DR.. Whites care
and Mr.. Peters was notified. The
man was unconscious when he
reached Pasco, and was at first be-
lieved to be dead. However, by the
time Mr.. Peters and Mr.. Yost ar
rived he had revived enough to
recognize them.
Examination revealed very bad
break in the left leg above the
knee, one of the bones protruding
from the flesh, several of the bones
in one of his hands were broken and
he suffered other bruises about the
body and head. DIR. White stated
this morning that while the man
is very seriously injured he thinks
that the leg can be saved and that
the man will recover.

DEATH OF MISS ALLEN.

The funeral service for Miss
Lucretia Allen, of Coolidge, was
held at the Baptist church Tuesday
morning, Rev. w. P. Osgood
preaching the sermon. Miss Allen
had made her home for several
years with her sister, Mrs. Amanda
Dutton, who until recently lived in
section nine, and while she was not
in very good health, her death was
very sudden. Mrs. Dutton is now
in North Yakima hospital under
going treatment for injuries receiv-
ed some weeks ago in an accident,
so could not be present at her sis
ter's funeral. Her two sons ac-
companied the body to Kennewick
and interrment was made in River

needed.
Mrs. E. M. Sly's subject was
The Apostolate of Peace, w. T.
Stead and James A. Macdonald
She spoke of the great loss the
peace movement suffered when w.
T. Stead, who was on his way to
America to speak at the peace con-
gress at Baltimore, went down with
the Titanic. The most striking
point made in this address was the
great loss this country suffered in
time of war through the destruction
of so many of its best citizens,
those who might, had they lived,
not only have contributed much to
the honor of the nation themselves
but have been the fathers of these
poets, orators, writers and states
men.
Mrs. E. A. Orr then recited with
her usual effectiveness Lincoln's
favorite poem, "Oh, Why Should
the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud"
this being the most appropriate to
the occasion since pride is the cause
of many wars.

ANT|-WARR|ORS
SPEAK FOR PEACE
Peace Sunday Observed by Union
Meetings Of Churches-Laymen
Voice their Opinions

Al the suggestion OF the Pacific
Coast Peace Association, the church
es of the Pacific states observed last
Sunday as Peace Sunday. Four of
our churches united in a union SER
vice at the Congregational church,
Rev. E. A. Orr presiding. The
choir of the Baptist church led the
large audience in the singing of
familiar and appropriate hymns,
closing with grand old America. !"
To Rev. c.. D. Rarey was assigned
the topic, The Growing Peace
Sentiment" He said that every
one could see the evidences of the
increase of peace sentiment, but
that before real peace could come,
evil must be overcome, and he in
stanced first of all, the saloon evil,
and the social evil. The final tri-
umph Of Christianity is necessary to
bring real peace to the world.
J. S. Motter spoke of "Labor's
Interest in International Peace"
The burdens of war fall heaviest on
the laboring man, burdens of tax
alton, burdens of service, burdens
of suffering. No class should be,
no class is, so thoroughly interested
in the promotion of international
peace as the laboring man.
A. G. Hart spoke of THE Cost of
War;" and gave some astonishing
statistics. The cost of one battle
ship. $12, 100000, and the yearly
cost of its maintenance, another
million, would build, equip and
maintain all the state institutions
of higher learning on the Pacific
coast. The cost of one shot from
one Of our great 13-inch guns is
over 81, 900, and the damage to the
gun over $500 more. This would
give a college education to several
of our hustling western boys and
girls.
Our annual war bill support some
30, 1000 school systems like that of
Kennewick.
A Message from the Last Peace
Congress" was the topic of M. M.
Moulton. The object of the Peace
Congress was not to secure absolute
disarmament, for armies are nee
essary for the protection of states,
as police force is necessary for
their citizens.
Supt. M. S. Lewis spoke on "A
Reasonable Basis for Belief in the
Abolition of War" By reference
to history he showed how in the
past the nations secured that
which they wished by force, how
gradually it had to come about
that difference in race, in language,
in religion were no longer bars to
harmonious cooperation and that
with the more diffusion of litera-
ture and the growth of the spirit
of christianity this cooperation
would become more and more gen.
eral, and the use of force no longer

TOP-DRESSING.


Results obtained at the South Caro-
line Experiment Station show that a
top-drcssing with nitrate of soda gives
good results on cotton, corn and small
grains. The increase is most marked
during wet year because this nitro
gen is already in an Immediately avail
able form, while the rotting of the
organic sources does not proceed as
rapidly as usual on account Of the eX-
cess of moisture in the soil The
amount to apply per acre varies with
the fertility of the soil and the prcvi-
GUS fertilization, but we would sug-
sost from fifty pounds per acre ON
poor land up, according to the fertility
of the soil
Early applications arc coming into
favor, We recommend that the soda
be applied to corn when it is between
knee and waist high. to cotton just as
the shapes begin to form, and to small
grain in March. Care should be taken
not to SOW nitrate or soda on wet
plants, because it is likely to scald
them 1t is best to apply it just af-
ter rain when the moisture has dried
off of the leaves of the plants, then
cultivate with mulch forming imple-
ment as soon as the ground Is dry

Speaking OF "Dixieland" the Spar

Mr.. Heisman says:

bargain, he hits surprisingly woll, his
average for the year being $40. Again
little fault can be found with his

that he is too young and too small.
