Harry J. We|ty Receives Pardon

January, 1912, to commence his SEN
tence of from four to 0 years, after
futile attempt to secure "a release
on writ of habeas corpus, and had
served % months of the sentence at
the time the pardon was granted.
Welty was formerly prominent
lawyer of Pullman and one of
the greatest tributes paid him
during his trouble was the fact that
the bar association did not take dis
barment proceedings at the time he
was convicted and Welty is at this
time privileged to practice his pro-
fession. He is held in the highest
esteem by his fellow lawyers and
will undoubtedly find a lucrative
practice wherever he decided to
locate.

Trustees Chosen for Six Months

com mittee appointed to interview the
city council regarding hitching racks,
that the council had promised to at
tend to the matter at once.
Professor l.. V. Edwards reported
that he had written several letters to
secure information regarding the
feasibility of establishing a potato
starch factory here.

future pig growing contest be CON

keeping her and her pigs, and the
profits derived. The matter was re-
ferred to the Hog Show committee.
j. N. Emerson suggested that
in the future a poultry show be held
in connection with the Hog Show.
o. l.. Waller, j. N. Emerson and II.

the matter and report at the next
meeting.
An appropriation of $25.was made

rotary was read and action on same

The regular quarterly meeting OF
the board of regents of Washington
State College was held Monday after

lshment of correspondence courses

industry and closely following that
courses in home economics and
dairying
A fee of So will be charged for
these courses to cover the cost of the

in extension work.
President Bryan, in his report,
enumerated the improvements that
have been made in the old barn on
the college farm and recommnded
that this barn hereafter be used eX-
clusiyely as a horse barn, the new
one to be used only for cattle. The

ments to instructorships made since
the last meeting and selected |. H..
Pierce of Salem, Iowa as instructor

one-year term, this appointment be
ing made necessary by the absence Of

the report of the building committee,
which stated that satisfactory prog
ress is being made on the founda-
tions and first stories of the agricul-

ningham have been East and much
business had accumulated during

ROBBED ON WAY
TO POKER GAME
Glenn Tracy and Offman McJnturff
Bound Over to Superior Court To
Answer to Charge of Robbina
Ernest Menett

Ernest Menett was Thursday night
held up and robbed of nearly $50 in
cash and city warrant for $40, the
robbery occurring on the O.-W. r. &.
N. track near the old section house.
Friday morning eileen Tracy and Off
man Mclnturff, the latter the son of
we'll known Johnson blacksmith
were arrested by Marshal Baymiller
on warrants issued at the request of
Menett and charged with the crime
of highway robbery in connection
with the affair A preliminary hear
ing was held Friday afternoon before
Justice George N. Henry and the two
men were bound over to the superior
court under bonds of $1,000 each.
Neither of the defendants were able
to raise the required bond and the
pair was taken to Colfax Friday even
ing by Deputy Sheriff Baker to await
trial in the county bastile.
The story told by Menett at the
preliminary was that he, in company
with Tracy, was walking down the
track about $3.50 Thursday evening,
when McInturff held them up and
demanded that Tracy search him. He
alleged that Tracy at once went to
his shirt pocket where he had S1O7
in bills, which he extracted and hand
cd over to McInturl., later searching
his other pockets, in which he had
some silver and city warrant, Me-
nett was then requested at the point
OF the gun to search Tracy and COM
piled with the request, handing the
holdup artist pocketbook and a
knife. The two men then went on
down the track and borrowed a shot
q gun, returning later to acquaint Mar.
shall Baym iller with the affair. Me-
nett claimed that the holdup was a
sput up job and that his companion,
Tracy, and the holdup, whom he
claimed was Mclnturff, were both
parties to the crime.
Tracy employed NJ. S. lamar as
counsel for the preliminary, while
John w. Mathews appeared for the
Prosecuting attorney, and it deyel.
Cped that the object of the trip down
the track was to visit a poker game
which was alleged to be in operation
at the section house. Both men
pleaded not guilty to the charge, buc
Justice Henry considered the evil
dence sufficient to bind them over to
the higher Cou'L Witnesses were
produced to prove that the two de-
PENDANTS had been seen together al
different times.
The pocket book taken from Me-
nett, containing deposit slips for
$500 and the city warrant but minus
the bills and cash, was found Thurs
day morning behind an old stove in
the wash room of the Artesian hotel,
where Tracy and McInturff rOOmed
prior to their preliminary hearing.

HIGH SCHOOL MOVED
INTO NEW QUARTERS
Next Monday the Faculty and Pupils
Will Go TO Work in Fine New
Building

Next Monday the Pullman high
school will be called to order in the
new building, one of the best CON
structed and most conveniently ar
ranged in the Northwest. 1t is need
less to say that both the faculty and
ruptls of the school are delighted
over the change. This was indicated
by the cheerful and efficient assist
ance which they rendered in moving
the equipment out of the old build
ing into the new. School was dis
missed Wednesday at o'clock and
everybody went to work with so
much vim that by night nearly every
thing was in position in the new
quarters Teachers. boys and girls
all joined in the moving bee.
The new building was completed
several weeks ago, but there was a
delay in the installation of the heat
ing plant This plant has now been
completed and thoroughly tested,
with highly satisfactory results. In
every particular the building is fully
up to expectations, and will enable
the work of the school to be conduct
ed under the most favorable condi-
tions. 1t is splendidly arranged,
lighted, ventilated and heated, and
will afford ample room for several
years to come. The location of the
assembly room on the first floor is a
feature which promises to give gen
eral satisfaction The gymnasium is
well arranged and, while a little
small, will afford ample room for bas-
ket ball games and entertainments,
and stimulate the students to keep
up the reputation which the school
has won in athletics.
The manual training and domestic
science departments, which have
heretofore been handicapped by lack
OF room and facilities, will now be
conducted under favorable condi-
tions, which will stimulate both the
teachers and pupils to better work
and superintendent Ellis believes
that the change in quarters will re-
suit in marked Improvement in the
work of the whole school.
The assembly room in the old
building will now be converted into
gymnasium for the use of the
grade pupils, who will be benefited
almost as much by the new building
as those in the high school, as it will
relieve the crowding in several of the
rooms.
This addition to the school plant
means much to Pullman and in the
near future appropriate exercises
will be held to celebrate the dedica-
tion of the new building.

RECALLS LITERARY MYSTERY
Rev. Mr.. Wolfe, Author of Burial Of
Sir John Moore" Buried at
Queenstown.

A literary mystery of a hundred
years ago is recalled by the special
centenary number, recently issued, of
the Newry Telegraph, an an Ulster
tri-weekly. In its pages April 10.
1917, under the simple head of Poe
try" appeared what Byron called the
most perfect ode in the language
THE Burial of Sir John Moore" By
ron or Campbell or any of the others
to whom this poem was variously
ascribed would doubtless have been
proud to claim it, But the author was
the obscure curate of Ballyclog, in
Tyronne, Rev. Charles Wolfe, and
the fame of the piece was but pos
thumous fame for him. Not until his
death, of consumption, in 1923. at the
early age of thirty-two, did the author
ship become known to the world. And
Wolfe, who wrote much other verse
of merit, is remembered only by that
one poem which sprang from the col
umns of a provincial newspaper to
universal recognition in the big world
of letters.-London Chronicle.
