FORMER LEAVENWORTH MAN
IS FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE
A. Name, who Conducted the Overland
Cafe, Gives $4,000 Worthless
Check in San Francisco

Representing himself to be wealthy
Canadian in search of a hotel to buy,
A. Name, formerly of this city,
dropped into San Francisco last week
and closed a deal for the Terminal
hotel at SIS, 1000 and took possession
after giving check for $4,000 on the
bank Of Hamilton, Ontario, and getting
receipt for that amount.
He then discharged the help in the
hotel, hired new elevator men, cooks,
clerks and bell boys, borrowed money
on the receipt that had been given
given him and disappeared in less than
an hour, before officers arrived to ar
rest him for passing worthless check.
A telegraphic request for information
brought word from the Hamilton bank
that A. Name, the name on the
check, was unknown there. He is
still at large although the officers are
hot on his trail.
A. Name will be remembered here
as the man who conducted the Over
land cafe about a year ago, during
which time he was continually in
trouble with everyone with whom ne
had dealings. After leaving here he
went TO Wenatchee, where he secured
position with the Elman cafe, re-
naming in that city up TO about three
months ago, when he hiked out, leav-
ing bills to the amount Of several hun
dred dollars and two or three worthless
checks. Since leaving there his where
abouts were unknown until he turned
up in Frisco.
Name appears to be a fnancier OF
the Get-Rich-Q Quick k-Wallingford type,
although when here he was regarded
only as a fit subject for the bughouse.

GREAT NORTHERN WILL
ELECTRIfY THEIR ROAD
Edison Co. Reported to Have Contracted
with the Railroad Company tOSup-
pIy Them with Electric Power

The time is not far distant when all
the trains running thru here from Spo
kane to Seattle will be pulled by cleo
trio motors says ]. c. Davis, promi-
nent member of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers this week.
That railroad men have been looking
forward to this sort of thing for a long
time is proven by the fact that three
engineers, Tony Blomeke of this city,
Mr.. Haworth Of Hillyard and John
Nicholson of Seattle have been in St.
Paul for the past two months arranging
a schedule Of pay for engineers and
fremen on the motors. At first the
company's officials refused to make
any kind of an agreement with their
men, but a strike was threatened
which would have tied up the entire
road and rather than face this KIND OF
a situation they complied with the de-
mands of the enginemen. Mr.. Bio
meke writes Mr.. Davis that they have
about finished their work in the east
and he expects to return here in few
days.
The Edison Company which has
already filed on the Wenatchee, Icicle
and Columbia rivers is expected to
start the work OF building power plants
this summer and it is stated that the
plant on the Columbia river will cost
$4,000 when completed, and de-
velop 100000 horse power. The
plant on the Wenatchee river which
will be located near Drury will cost
upwards of s1,ooo,oo0.

Quincy Irrigation Project Must Wait

The bill appropriating 100000 fol
an immediate survey Of the Quincy
Irrigation project has been indefinitely
postponed by the legislature. The
house last Friday passed the senate
bill withdrawing from entry and ap-
priating all the waters of the Wenat-
chez river water shed, save those al
ready in use or on which entry has
been made. The idea is to conserve
them for the Quincy Valley project,
upon which it is proposed to try and
and get the state to spend some $40,-
100000 for irrigation.

The city council met as usual Tues
day evening but little business Of i'm
portance was transacted. In regard to
taps for the new water system it was
decided to use the ones of the Tum-
water Light & Water Co., when
changes were made from the old to the
new system. Some discussion arose
oyer the question of whether the wa
ter rates should be collected every
month or quarterly and it was finally
decided to let the matter go until Fri
day afternoon when the council would
meet as a committee and decide the
matter.

This City Faces Serious Charge in
Seattle-0ut on 5000 Bail

A joy ride one night last week in
Seattle with two pretty mattresses ended
in the arrest OF ]. D. Carey, well
known engineer of this city, and Fred
S. Brown, his chauffeur. Jennie Gray,
one of the girls claims she was put out
Of the car and left at lonely spot out
in the suburbs of Seattle where she
was later on picked up by an auto
which happened to come by. She re-
ported the affair at police headquar-
tiers and after hearing her story two
motor cycle policemen were sent out
with orders to pick up the automobile
and arrest the occupants.
The motorcycle cops soon located
the parties and started pursuit. The
chauffuer seeing the motor policemen
attempted to escape but was forced to
stop on account Of the blowing up of a
tire.
The two men and girl in the car
were charged with disorderly conduct
and released on 5000 bail.
Carey will have his trial in Seattle

ney James McCabe who two years ago
was an engineer working out Of this

GREAT NORTHERN LOSES
PAVING CONTROVERSY
Railroad Company Must Pay Their Share
of the Paving COst-Supreme
Court May Decide Case

In the action brought by the Great
Northern Railway Co., o, S. Sampson
ct al versus the City of Leavenworth
and the Warren Construction Co., in
the paving matter, Judge Grimshaw on
Tuesday handed down his decision
which was in favor of the city. The
attorneys for the railroad company con-
tended that the price of the paving was
too high and that the due process oi
law had not been followed in the pre-
liminary work. Had the Great North
ern won the suit it is said the Warren
Construction Co., would not have re-
ceived a cent for the work they have
done. It is believed that the case
will be appealed to the Supreme court.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
FOR BASEBALL TEAM
Team will be Organized of all Home
Players and no Salaries will be Paid
Fans Favor This Plan

For the past two or three weeks as
is usually the case when the snow COM
mences to disappear the baseball fever
has reached high temperature and
wherever you go the question is asked,
will we have baseball this summer" !"
While as yet no definite arrangements
have been made, it is safe to say that
we will, but one thing is certain and
the rest is lies, no salaries will be paid
to the players. For the past two or
three years local fans have witnessed a
a class OF ball hardly excelled in the
Northwestern League. They have
seen the Leavenworth team declared
the champions Of the semi-professional
teams in the state and for all of this
they have spent several thousand dol
lars to boast of this attainment. Is it
worth it, few are of the belief that
the money was well spent, but the
majority of the people in this city do
not look at it in that light, so hence
forth or for at least several years the
days OF salaried team will be ancient
history.
Those who are promoting the new
team say that if their plans work out
they will erect a new fence and
grandstand to take the place of that
which was torn down last summer and
if at the end of the season any money
remains in the treasury after the ex-
penses have been paid and the ground
owners have received their percentage
the balance will be divided up among
the players.
Reports from Wenatchee are that
they are planning to have a strictly
home team in that city and II this is
the case the lovers of baseball in the
two towns will take just as much inter
est in the games this year as they have
in the past, and the rivalry will be
just as strong. Among those likely to
be seen on the team this year will be,
Mazurie, IF and ID; Arnold, If and p;
Lee, p; Brown 3b and p; Smith, RI;
Jach Mahoney CT and 2b; Burt Brown,
3b; Walt Fromm, C; Dick Simons, c.
AS yet no one has been found for
short stop, but it is rumored that Jim
my Miller who is now in Seattle will
locate here this summer and if this
rumor proves true it will not be neces-
sary to look elsewhere for a man to fill
this position.
Spring training will begin in few
weeks and we venture to say that few
other events are being looked to with
as much interest.

ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION
AROUSFS MUCH INTEREST
S. {. WOldenberg Defeats George Hatha-
way BY a Vote of 160 to 143

In the past school elections have
aroused very little interest in Leaven-
worth, not more than forty or fifty votes
being cast, but last Saturday it was diff
ferent, 303 voters going to the polls
and marking their choice for director.
For some time past or ever since Miss
Larson was discharged from the schools
on the charge OF insubordination and
improper conduct the school board has
received much criticism from number
of people, especially the Socialists, who
believed that the discharged teacher
should have been reinstated. This the
board refused to do and as the dissatis-
fed element continued to find fault
with the way the directors were con-
Quoting the school affairs. Mr.. Wolden-
berg, upon the solicitation of his party
and other friends decided to become
candidate for the Office. Mr.. Hatha-
way the retiring member did not wish
to be candidate for reelection and
would not have permitted his name to
be used had he not been urged to do so
by parties who believed that the schools
were being conducted in a most excel
lent manner. Both sides worked hard
on election day and each claimed VIC
tory, but when the votes were counted
Mr. Woldenburg was found to have a
lead Of II votes over his opponent.
The new director took the oath of
Office Wednesday and to an Echo re-
porter stated that he was in hopes that
he would be able to work in harmony
with the other two directors, Mrs. L. ].
Nelson and Guy Hamilton although it
was possible they might not agree on
all things. The new director makes
tue lOuoWlHS statement:
The most important educational
features of the public schools are in my
opinion, arithmetic, grammar, geometry
and economics) the latter to be taught
in the higher branches of the school
work. Those are the units from which
we branch out into details. For in
stance geometry, the details Of which
are navigation, architecture, civil engi-
neering etc. What I mean by econ
omics is not the political history Of the
country, nor its achievements in war,
but economic evolution and other fields
Of industrial importance. From fnan-
cial point of view l believe in an econ
omical administration 10 the extent that
it will not injure the educational parts
of the schools. 1t is my ernest wish
to be on friendly terms with the teach
ers and all Of those who practically have
control Of the school system. Outside
of the mother l believe the teacher has
the greatest mission to perform and l
want to aid them so far as is in my
limited power. 1t is also my desire to
become really acquainted with the chill
dren and to use my every effort to
make of them earnest, sincere and hon.
est citizens"

The first bill introduced by either
of the women members OF the house
TO get through that body this week
was H. B. 81, by Mrs. Axtell of What
com county, repelaing the section oi
the statute making it necessary to have
corroborative evidence in criminal as
sault cases. Mrs. Axtell made a
strong address in support of her meas
ure.
That the interests" have the lower
house of the legislature under their
thumb is becoming more apparent ev-
ery day and any move made by the
supporters and friends Of measures to
regulate prices or to investigate prices
of commodities is quickly squelched.
Rowland of Pierce made an effort Fri
day to get the following resolution
through the house, but it was laid on

Whereas, The constitution of this

that monopolies and trusts shall never
he allowed in this state and the legis-
lature shall pass laws for the enforce
ment of this section by adequate pen
alties," and
Whereas. the Legislature has hitherto
ignored this command and an effective
antitrust law is demanded if the rap
idly increasing cost of living is to be
checked, and
Whereas, Substitute house bill llO
If enacted will prevent trusts and mo-
nonolies and such legislation is de-
manded by the people, and
Whereas, such bill has been with

GOVERNOR LISTER IS
PLEASING THE PEOPLE
Receives Many Letters of Commentator
for His Action in vetoing Large
Appropriation Measures

The people of the state generally,
those who pay the taxes, will COM
mend Governor Lister for his action
in vetoing large appropriation measures,
and this is being evidenced by the
daily letters and telegrams that are
reaching the chief executive. The
governor was elected on a pledge Of
economy and he intends keeping that
regardless OF how it may affect his fu-
ture political career, because he be-
lieves in keeping his promise to the
people. He knows he is making him
self unpopular with the legislative
members, but he believes that this is a
little thing as compared with the i'll
will Of the people of the state. And
another thing, he believes in practicing
business methods in the conduct Of
state affairs. He thinks it is unneces-
sary to make an appropriation of over
a half million dollars to finish the Tenn
pie OF Justice, when this can be just as
we'll taken care of in the bill which
passed the senate last week providing
for a bond issue of S4,000,000 COW
cred by the proceeds from the sale of
state public lands, for the erection of
state capitol buildings. And the peo-
pie will coincide with the governor in
his action.
The governor Topped off nearly a
million dollars from the omnibus ap-
preparation bill, his vetoes being as
follows:
For completion Of Temple of
Justice e.----$551,750
Maintenance at Cheney Nor
NAL school 1916, 1000

New York. Dec ga further response
was made by the stock market To-Day 10
the news from Washington of the pro-
gress of currency legislation and the ad-
ministration's attitude regarding en1orce-
ment of the antitrust law. In reSpect
to both these influences, which were the
controlling factors in last weeks sharp
advance, there were additional develop
ments on which favorable construction
was placed. Changes made in the curren-
cy bill in conference, particularly the de-
feat of the provision OF guarantee OF
bank deposits, were to the liking of Wall

news that the policy pursued in the case
of the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co would be followed with other cor
porations whose operations have orought
them under the eye of the department OF
Justice and that certain of these corpora
lions were ready to take the INITIATIVE
in effecting the reorganization.
During the fore part OF the day extern
sive European selling here was effective
in keeping down prices. The OUTLOOK az
Berlin for strained money market at the
end of the year was said to be responsible
for heavy selling of Canadian Pacihc for
Berlin account, and the quotation was de-
pressed over four points. Among the
leaders in this market there was dis
position to take profits Realizing sales
and foreign offerings kept the market in
check during the morning, with especial
heaviness in a few stocks. western

The market turned after word came
from Washington regarding the prospects
