ROUTINE MATTERS
TAKE Up SOLONS'
Time THIS WEEK
Hearing into Seattle Tidelands
and Wharfage Charges Most
Important Investigation.
TWO REDIsTRICTING BILLS.
King County Measure Consoli-
dates Many Present Districts,
Adding to Cities Vote.

Devoting practically their whole
time to the consideration of the num-
erous bills pending in committee meet
ings, the members of the legislature
got their noses so close to the grind
stone this last week that they had no
opportunity to indulge in forensic fire.
works of any character. Most Of their
attention was given over to routine
matters and minor legislative changes,
listening to arguments in committee
and attending to the drudgery Of the
session.
The most important event Of the
week was the Investigation conducted
by the special committee into the
ownership of Seattle tidelands and
that city's wharfage charges. following
the allegations last week by Represen-
tative Houser. The committee yester-
day asked for an extension Of time to
complete Its report. having subpoenaed
former land commissioners and Seattle
harbor commissioners for its hearings.
This report is being awaited anxiously
a. It il generally believed 1t will de-
velop hitherto unknown facts ~ to Sc
attle's wharfage charges particularly.
Two re-districting bills were intro
duced this week. one by King county
and the other by Pierce of Kitsap coun-
ty. The latter's proposes radical
change, including the reduction Of
membership to n In one assembly, 18
to come from districts arranged by
area and nine to be chosen at large.
They are to hold ONCE six years. one
third being elected every two years.
are to meet annually for a. long time
as necessary and to receive salaries Of
$1,000 annually.
The King county plan provides for
96 representatives and a senator's and
follows county lines closely, giving
King six more representatives and two
more senator's, Spokane county two
more In each house. Yakima county
one more senator and two more rep.
resentatives. and cutting down the rep
resentation of some Of the smaller
counties. Claliam and Jefferson
Garfield and Asotin. Franklin and Ben
ton, Klickitat and Skamania. Wahkia-
KUN and Pacific, Island and San Juan
counties. each now having single rep
/ resentatives, are consolidated. The
city of Olympia is given one represen.
tative, and the county outside Is unit
ed with Mason county.
The senate this week passed bill
creating q department Of weights and
measures. which. 1t is hoped. will
result In the standardizing Of all
weights used in the state and will to
great extent prevent fraud. The de-
pertment is to be under the direction
of the secretary Of state. who is to ap
point two deputies. one at salary OF
$4,000 year. the other at salary OF
$1,000 q year. Each county Is to fur
nish deputy to this new department
to be under the direction Of state Of
1lcials.
The senate also passed the bill Great
Ing new county from . part OF
Klickitat county, calling the new coun'
ty, after Capt. H. c. Cook. who con
structed the Cascade locks.

WOULD RESTORE CANTEEN
Secretary stfmson Declares AboIltlon
Has Caused Much Vice.

Henry L. StimsOn. secretary OF war,
has added his testimony to all that
has preceded his administration, re-
specting the influence Of the anti.can-
teen law on the American army. In
brief. It is that the law, instead Of
making soldiers more orderly. has pre-
cisely the opposite effect.
His attitude presents the extreme op-
posite to that maintained by the ad-
vocates Of the anti-canteen system.
They have succeeded in preventing the
soldiers from establishing their own
CLUB houses or canteens; and the re-
suit. which has been placed before the
American people again and again, is
given by the secretary of war in this
language:
"Anti-canteen legislation has been re.
sponsible for much vice." also 40 Of
the mobile army posts are "adjoined
by dives and Ill resorts Of the vilest
character" These conditions, the Sec
retary believes, are the ultimate causes
which make the record Of our army
In this respect shameful beyond that
of the army Of any civilized nation" !"
Commenting upon the secretary's
report the Springfield Union says:
III the abolishment Of the canteen
had served to eliminate drunkenness
among the enlisted men, as its advo-
Gates fondly hoped it would, too much
could not be said in communication Of
that course. On the contrary, however,
its effect has been to drive the soldiers
from q moderate indulgence in light
beers to heavy dissipation in the
cheapest and vilest forms of liquor
sold in the dens and dives that have
sprung up around military posts since
the canteen was abolished, and to ex.
pose them to many other forms Of
vice that have had demoralizing ef-
feet on the army. A fact that must be
recognized is that a large number Of
the enlisted men do and will drink,
AN SASAC 40 iO way W PTctcuI tucul,
and the aim should be to regulate their
drinking so far as possible that it may
do the least harm to themselves and to
the discipline and health Of the army"
Says the New York Press:
Secretary Stimson's report on the
Increase Of vice and disease in the
United States army, traceable directly
to the growth Of dives around posts
since the canteer was abolished, is
based on the weight of testimony by
surgeons and commanders. It Is true
that few officers have borne witness
to the contrary, but the heavily pre-
vailing opinion of the army, as it is
voiced by the secretary Of war. leaves
no room for doubt that its health and
discipline would be bettered by the
restoration Of the canteen."

Big Time COMING
At ELkS' FIESTA
Unique, Exciting Entertainment
in Village Street-xundS
for Theater.

The Fiesta planned by the local lodge
Of Elks at the Lobby February "a to
27. gives promise to be not only the
most unique and interesting enter
tainment ever presented in the city
but one Of the most popular. as the
money derived from the entertainment
is. to be- placed In building fund de-
signed eventually for the erection Of =
first class mp to date 4fre proof theater
in connection with . lodge hall and
club rooms.
While the general lines are similar
to those Of an old time fair or festival.
the scale upon which 1t is planned is
entirely new and much more elaborate
than anything Of the kind ever before
undertaken In the Northwest.
The proposed scheme is q street
scene composed of . dozen or more
buildings. each of different style Of
architecture and each housing . diff
ferent attraction. The building plans
are In the hands Of Architect Joseph
H. Wohleb, who superintended sim
liar affair for the Elks at Vallejo, CAL,
and entails an immense expenditure Of
money and labor. In addition to the
dancing floor at the Lobby the parti.
tions will be removed and the entire
building will be in the hands Of Mr..
Wohleb and his assistants for three
weeks before the opening Of the Fiesta
in order to give time for its conver-
sion into an Elk village.
Included in the buildings which will
compose the street scene will be q city
hall. police station and police court and
In connection with the latter depart.
ment there will be run q genuine pa
troll wagon which has been secured
from the police department in Tacoma.
The Elk village will be run under home
made ordinances and 1t Is intimated
that the hurry up" wagon will bring
before the police court some noted Of.
tenders as no state laws passed either
for the perfection of state oficials or
even Legislators will be allowed to con.
f,ict with the home made article passed
by the village council.
These proceedings will be in the
hands Of Col. c. e. Claypool who will
be assisted by Attorney General Tan.
ner, Prosecuting Attorney O'Leary and
other noted experts in the discovery OF
technical flaws In existing statutes.
There will be sideshow, Japanese
tea garden, candy kitchen Monte Car
10, and many other attractions.
In connection with the Fiesta the
Elks have secured Regal "S5" auto
mobile, purchased through the Eshom
garage direct from the factory, which
will be given away on the last night
of the Fiesta. The machine is now on
exhibition in the lobby Of the Knee.
land hotel.
In order to raise funds to meet the
heavy expense of the initial work there
has been placed on sale number OF
Fiesta buttons and as the ultimate OBJ.
ject means a fire proof theater for
Olympia it is becoming the popular fad
to be seen wearing the white emblems
denoting cooperation in the good
work.

Figures on Playing Caldwell

NEW YORK, July 25.-Reports of i'm
mediate changes in the lineup Of the
New York American League team were
current upon the return of the team to-
day from it's western tour. Manager
Frank Chance was quoted as disap-
pointed in the work of Birdie Cree
and Bert Daniels, veterans of the out
field, and as contemplating replacing
them with Slim" Ray Caldwell and
Roy Hartzell, placing William Nc
Kechnie at second base. which Hartzell
has been covering. Chance was said
to be particularly DESTROYS of getting
Caldwell into the game regularly. as
he considers him one of the best bat
tiers on the team. He has been keep
ing him on the relief pitching staff.
McKechnie, late of Boston, would
also be looked to to strengthen the in
field. Chance expects the newly pur-
chased Zeider back in the game by the
the deal by which he got him from the
Chicago White Sox in exchange for
Hal Chase. he declared that the reports
that he had protested the deal. SO that
he could get Chase back to be used in
some other trade, was absurd. 81 SIM
ply asked Ban Johnson to compel the
White Sox to pay Zeiders salary and

added, Even in a hospital Zeider is

Cassatt again figured in a protested race
at Belmont Park. when in the running
of the Southampton handicap yesterday
his nomination. Flying Fairy. prohibi-
tive favorite at to s. was disqualified
after passing under the wire length to
the good of H. K. Knapp's Strenuous,
while Billy Lakeland's Fifty-Five and
Conewago stables Bruin Belle were beat
en- off.
1t was contended that Flying Fairy
which had a forward position rounding
into the homestretch had raced wide ana
enabled Strenuous to improve his place
on the. pole. AT tn ee-sixteenths OF a
mile from home Flying Fairy was said
to have borne in again from the outside
of the track and alleged to have impeded
the progress of the Oneck stables en-
trant which was eventually beaten a
length.
There was the usual hurrah by those
who had made wagers on each OF the
horses and the stewards took such ac-
ton as to warrant the disqualification or
the Cassatt horse and the further sus-
pension for the meeting of I. Davies, the
ider of Flying Fairy.
Before the race the Cassatt entry was
conceded to have a somewhat easy task
set for her at the weights al Gifted. as 1t
was only a short while ago that she had
picked up JOG pounds and defeated some
OF the best horses at the track over the
route of today's race-a mile and a six
