and willing to exchange a title for
money by way of the marriage route.
and then have this girls guardian, a
country town lawyer, appear on the
scene to outwit the Adventures and
save the young girl from them and from
herself, and there is the basis of the
story In which heart interest is deftly
commingled with humor and dramatic
incident.
A company OF even excellence aids in
presenting the play. Gertrude Hitz, a
young leading woman who has devel-
oped rapidly and who is accounted one
of the most beautiful women on the
stage. has the role OF. the Indiana heir
ess. Ida Vernon. long a notable figure

ton of $25. w. G. Jarron. a farmer
residing near Pullman, handed a

RELY ON PHOTOS
TO SETTLE CONTEST
Classification of the County May he
Determined by Checking With
Census Returns

A brilliant idea conceived by Pros
ecuting Attorney Paul Pattison Is
likely to result in the settlement of

ton of Whitman county without an
expensive lawsuit He suggested that
Photographic copies of the federal
census returns by precincts be Sc
cured from Washington and checked.
with the school census, the polling
lists, the personal tax roll and the
affidavits of persons who claimed
that they were not enumerated in the
federal census. The commissioners
adopted the idea and the photographs
have been secured at a cost of $50.
In explaining his plan Mr.. Pattison
says:
Il believe that this matter can be
settled with light expense. Two men
can be employed at $3.50 to SO a day
to check these lists with the personal
tax list, the school census, the polling
list and the affidavits already submit
ted and If we find that these people
who have sworn that they were not
enumerated were Used by the emu
merator we have some evidence on
which to base our suit. If we find
that these people were enumerated
the best thing the commiss oners can
do is to admit they were mistaken
and let the matter drop | believe
that we can get a close check on the
situation in this way at an expense of
not to exceed $3.50 and may save liti-
cation that may cost $4,000 to $780,
600. The work of checking the list
with the other lists mentioned will
probably be done by the county treas
urer and the county assessor, who
have number OF expert bookkeepers
and people capable of doing the work
in their EN- ploy"
On Wednesday w. NJ. Duncan the
county treasurer, and George Walter,
county assessor, checked over a few
of the affidavits with the list of
names furnished by the federal CEN
sus bureau for the purpose of ascer-
tanning if these people who claimed
to have been missed were right in
their contention.

HARD HITTING WINS

fun by hitting the first ball pitched
by Aspray, Moscow's so-called phe-

cleared the right field fence and
landed somewhere between Moscow
and Pullman Aspray then frightened
up and allowed no more runs that
inning.
In the second Pullman scored two
more on singles by Moeser and Ken
NEEDY, aided by a couple of errors and
some classy base running, but drew
blanks in both the third and fourth
frames. In the fifth the smuggling be-
gan in earnest and six runs were
chalked up to Pullman's credit. Two
more counted in the sixth and in the
seventh nine Boosters crossed the
plate. In this inning A men faced

The Boosters played alright bali
with the exception of the second
inning. when several costly errors
and one measly single allowed three
runs. Moss started the game for
Pullman and pitched first class ball,
but in the third inning got in the way
of a hot line drive and injured a
finger He was replaced by Foran,
who finished the game in big league
style, allowing but four hits and
striking out nine men.
Moss led in the hit column with
four good ones to his credit, while
