TURKS CAPTURE IS SPIES.
Ottoman Warning To Great Powers
Was Evidently Not Mere Bluff.

Constantinople. - Apparently in
earnest in her warning to the Great
Powers that the Ottoman forces would
continue to fight against the Bull
garians unless the alleged atrocities
in Thrace are stopped, Turkey is
keeping up operations against Bull
garia. According to a report received
here, Turke surrounded and took as

Washington. - While the officials
here consistently adhere to their re
fusal to make any public statement
concerning the negotiations between
Japan and the United States regard
ing the California alien land law, it is
understood, that in its efforts to deal
fairly with the japanese government
the State Department had indicated a
purpose to facilitate any judicial pro
ceedings that may be brought to test
the legislation.
The proposal, it is said, does not go
so far as that made by President
Roosevelt in the japanese school
cases, where the United States district
attorney was charged to attack the
legality Of the action Of the San Fran
cisco schoo! board. but does commit
the United States to the extension Of
all reasonable aid in the prosecution
of test asses
A suggestion that japanese resi-
dents in California who may suffer
from the application Of the alien land
act be Unidentified has been made on
account of the precedent established
in the case Of the Chinese who were
killed at Rock Springs, Wyo, years
ago and the Italians who were lynch
ed in New Orleans during the Malta
riots.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
United States probably would guar
antee Japanese landowners against
loss only in the event that they were
not properly compensated for prop
erty they ere obliged to dispose of
under the Webb Bloodgood act.

Meeting Held at Palace
Hotel To Arrange for Proper
Ceremonies in Honor of
Nations Heroes

The open meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce held at the Palace hotel
tuesday evening was attended by
about 100, many of whom were
members of the w. r. G. and G. A.
r. After the supper had been
served, President Hanson announced
that the object of the meeting was
to make plans for the observation of
Decoration Day and called for sug-
gestions. Mrs. Lulu Downen ex-
planned how the G. A. r. and w. r.
G. had observed the day in the past
and asked for the cooperation of all
the citizens in the future. Professor
o. l.. Waller urged that the day
should be properly observed and that
the old soldiers should be assisted by
all in honoring their fallen comrades
B. f. Campbell stated that the
people of Pullman had not observed
Decoration Day in the right spirit
and had manifested little interest in
the programs arranged by the old
soldiers. He thought the time had
come for the younger generation to
assist the veterans in decorating the
graves and carrying out program of
patriotic exercises. He suggested
that general committee be appoint
ed to select other committees TO take
charge of arranging the details of
celebration which should be worthy
of the day, and that the general COM
mittee be composed of the president
of the Chamber of Commerce, one
member of the g. A r., one mem Der
of the w. r. c., one member of the
Sons of Veterans and one business
man to be selected by President Han
SEN His suggestion was adopted
and the following committee named
W. E. Hanson, Mrs. Lulu DoWnen,

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
IN WORKING ORDER
New System VIII Greatly Facilitate
Work of characterization
Centrals Will Give Alarm

A new fire alarm system, and one
which will greatly facilitate the work
of the fire department in ascertain
ing the location of a blaze and get
ting to the scene of fire in the least
possible time, has recently been in
stalled by the city and is now in
working order. The system consists
of an electric striker, located at the
city hall, which is connected with the
central stations of both the Pacific
States and Inland Cooperative tele-
phone systems.
AS soon as a fire is discovered in
any part of town the fact will be
telephoned at once to central" by
someone near the scene of the fire,
who will give the exact location of
the blaze. By turning a switch in
the central office the striker will be
started, and central will at the
same time telephone the location of
the fire to the fire chief.
The new system was devised by
George Henry for many years 4
member of the local fire department,
and he is deserving of great credit
for expanding much time and effort
in perfecting the system without any
hope of financial remuneration.
B. G.. Baird is at present chief of
the fire department and the members
Of the organization are Hugo Kloss-
ner, Will Klossner, Isaac Nicholson,
Harry Muir, Earl Chiffon, G. w.
Kingsbury, George Mcmahon, Harry
Wilson, James Ford, George Henry,
Ward Squires, George Ruply and
Budd Lingg.

Will Draw Cartoons while He Lectures

in the minds of his countless admir-
ers with the idea of being enter
tanned and amused; but in fact Nor
ris is far from being a mere jester.
He has found that the cartoon with
laugh in 1t is the one that "gets
over" and so he usually puts in the
laugh; but sober, even somber out
look on life is constantly a guiding
influence, and the grim, serious car
tcon is the one he likes best to make.
Personally, Morris is studious and
enthusiastic, tactful, witty, and
genial, with not a trace of the ill
temper that sometimes gets by as
artistic temperament. He has
friends among oil sorts of people,
and these are not all grown-ups by
any means. He tells a story so we'll
that you completely forget that you
should be looking out for the right
place to laugh-but you laugh just
the same.
He is interested in and well in
formed about scores of varied sub
jects from first editions" to apple

wide reading and partly due to the
fact that he was engaged in over a
dozen different lines of work before

Making Plans for Decoration Day.

X p. Allen called attention to the
fact that the time was approaching
for the annual encampment of the
Veterans Association of Whitman
and Latah counties and asked if the
people of Pullman wanted to have it
held here again. His question was
answered by the unanimous adoption
OF resolution asking the assocla-
ton to hold the encampment here on
June 10 IL and 12.
The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be in favor of holding a
celebration which shall be appropri-
ate to the occasion and worthy of the
city. Among the many suggestions
favorably received were that the city
be decorated; that the business
houses close; that automobiles be
provided to take the veterans to and
from the cemetery; that the children
assist in decorating the graves; that
big parade be arranged which shall
include the college and city bands,
the regiment of college cadets, the
members of the G. A. R.. the w. R.
c., the Sons of Veterans, the
Daughters of Veterans, and the
school children; that a picnic lunch
be held in the park; that first class
speaker be secured and a patriotic
program arranged.
The general committee held a
meeting at once and organized by
electing M. d. Henry chairman and
B. F. Campbell secretary. 1t was
decided to select chairmen of the
necessary sub-com mittees and allow
them to select their, assistants and
the following chairmen were named:
On program, b. f. Campbell; on dec
orations, Mrs. Lulu Downen on
grounds, Harry Austin; on publicity,
w. E. Hanson. A meeting of the
committees will be held tomorrow
evening at the Chamber of Com
merce.

Years "a Resident of This Section
Dies Suddenly from Heart
Failure

John Bauer Sr. was found dead
in bed at his farm home on the
breaks of the Snake river, about ~
miles west of this city, Wednesday

ably, to heart failure. Mr.. Bauer
had resided in this section for "a
years, and had he lived until June

the best of health and spirits, and
his sudden taking away comes as a
great shock to his relatives and many
friends.
Deceased was last seen alive on
Monday, and while the exact time of
his death will never be known, it is
probable that he passed away some
time Wednesday night The body
was found by his stepdaughter, Mrs.
John Fulfs, who resides near the
home of Mr. Bauer, and who went
to the place to take bread to her
stepfather. 1t had been her custom
to bake bread for Mr.. Bauer each
week, and he would call at her home
for it. When he did not make his
usual visit Wednesday Mrs. Fulfs
went to his home and found him
dead In bed.
Mr.. Bauer was one OF the best
known and most progressive farmers
in tbs section and leaves scores of
friends to mourn his untimely death
He had been married twice, both of
his wives having preceded Mr.. Bauer
to the final resting place. He leaves
two sons, John Jr., and Jacob, both
of whom reside at Cotton, and one
daughter, Mrs. Barbara Haeder, who
lives at Oroville, Wash. The body
was taken to Cotton today and the
funeral services will be held at that
place tomorrow.
