MISS WHITE WILL RECOVER
Condition Of Unfortunate Young Wo
man Reported to Be Favorable.

The condition of Miss Irene o.
White, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Clinton II. White, who drank carbolic
acid Monday forenoon, was today re-
ported by the attending physicians
to be favorable to recovery. Miss
White passed a comfortable night,
considering the circumstances, and
her condition during the day has
continued to improve.
Even after the lapse of "a hours
nothing that could be construed as a
motive for the young woman's rash
act has developed. The acid, which
partially filled a bottle, had been in
the barn all summer, fact that
would indicate an absence of pre-
meditation. Friends of the family
have reached the conclusion that the
young woman, who had been a hard
student at school and who is rather
high-strung nervously was afflicted
with one Of those sudden lapses
which some time appear in the lives
OF young girls and attempted to end
her life while temporarily not re-
sponsible mentally.
Mr.. and Mrs. White are enduring
the affection much better than had
been expected. The sympathy of the
entire community goes out to them
and with it the hope that the life of
the young woman will be spared.

pany's rights and privileges subject
to such conditions and restrictions as
he may see fit to make, concerning
the same, and that this resolution be
suitably engrossed and forwarded to
him."
This resolution prepared by K. l..
Sibley and presented by Edward j.
Hall was adopted at the conclusion of
the special village meeting this af
ternoon for the purpose of taking pub
lie action upon the recently proposed
gift to the village of Bennington by
Henry w. Putnam.

Der of citizens present at Library

A. Ward called the meeting to order
The president read the call for the
meeting ond also the letter to the

tons of appreciation which were

luton:
Resolved, That this village will &C

tee.
Progressiyes are chuckling and hop
ing that the bill does not come from
committee in time to be acted upon
by both houses before the November
election. 1t is pointed out that the
politicians will surely make campaign
material out of the fact that the re-
publicans have not kept the platform
pledge to enact trustee process law.
However, there are yet several days
before election and if the Senate Dill
should become law the fact would
doubtless be heralded throughout the
state that the voters might know
one of the campaign promises had
been redeemed.
If the Senate bill is amended in
such way as to include the OBrien
bill and make it possible for person
obtaining judgment against a wage
Garner to file certified copy OF the
record of such judgment and have the
employer deduct 10 per cent or the
weekly wage of the wage Garner 1t Is
pointed out that the labor interests
will Immediately raise the claim that
the law does not really exempt
mans wages from attachment by
creditors.
BY the O'Brien bill it would be pos
sible for any number of creditors to
secure judgment against wage earn
err and if the latter was receiving
small pay it would be practically i'm
possible for him to get out OF debt, as
even five per cent of his weekly wage
would make a material difference in
his ability to support himself and
family.
This feature of the O'Brien bill is
calculated, no doubt, to be of assist
ance to the wage Garner in the same
measure that it would benefit the
creditor, but the supporters of a trus-
tee process exemption bill, allowing
$40 of wage earner's wage to be alb
solutely exempt from attachment,
point out that the law will put dead
beats out of business. This class OF
citizens will be obliged to pay cash
for whatever they may require while
the worthy poor man, who Will pay
his bills when he can get the money,
will not be so placed that an unreas-
enable creditor can crowd him to the
extent that he finds its impossible to
support himself or family.
Lack of floor leadership Is doubt
less responsible for the action taken
in recommitting this bill to the COM

The last big demonstration at
the stadium this year will be
held tonight and Tacomans are
expected to pack the big horse
shoe. The free admission for all
children with car tickets home
will bring out all the youngsters
IN town and their parents will
want to 20 too.
All day Elks from Portland
have been pouring into town. Big
delegations from practically every
state in the Union are here and
being entertained by the local Elk
lodge. The grand stadium cele-
brat.on tonight is for the especial
benefit of the visitors, to send
them home with the Tacoma sta
dunn the prominent thing on their
minds in the whole trip west and
Il the big amphitheater is filled
there is no doubt as to what they
will think about 1t.
The reception given the visiting
Elks today by the local boys fair
ly took the breath away from the
guests.
At the trains the strangers
were simply covered with great
showers of Tacoma roses. Then
they were taken in automobiles
gorgeous with roses and carried
to the clubhouse, where an Or
chestra and band all day dis
coursed sweet music.
The whole length of the dining
room great tables were covered
with the most delicious edibles
and drinkables, and no hungry
Elks were in Tacoma today.
The clubhouse was simply ra-
diant in roses and in between
lunches the visitors were swept
over the city in automobiles and
shown the sights.
The program at the stadium
begins at 1890 with the band con-
cert. At $3.50 the regular ex-
ercises begin and there will be no
delays. Everything will be push
ed through rapidly so there will
be no dull moments. The flre-
works will last 80 minutes and
will discount anything seen here
before. Purple and white will
be colors predominating in honor
of the Elk visitors.
Tacoma Elks got home yester-
day, expecting such as remained
over to see that none of the visi-
tors at Portland got away but
all came up to Tacoma today
From the way the strangers have
been coming to town all day Il
is certain none escaped unless ne
was too small to be seen.
