PLENTY POP.POPS
NO BOOM-BOOMS
City Council Bars Heavy Artillery
From Fourth Of July Celebra-
tion in Kennewick

No great big grown-up fire.
crackers, no life-sized sky rock
cts nor elongated roman candles
will be tolerated in Kennewick
on the Third, Fourth and Fifth
of July. This is the edict that
has been handed down by the
city council and is part of a gen.
eral program to keep the local
observance of the national holi-
day within the bounds of a safe
and sane celebration.
In fact the small boy and the
small firecracker came devilish
near losing their birthrights at
the regular meeting of the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening when Coun-
Gilman John Sercombe moved
that firecrackers and fireworks
of all kinds be entirely ostracised
from the celebration program.
Three councilmen voted "yes,
and councilmen three voted mo, !"
and the mayor declared the
motion lost and the small boy
squeezed in one score.
Councilman r. II. Anderson
then brought forth a compromise
measure which provides that the
small boy may shoot as many
firecrackers as he has nickles to
buy so long as none of said fire.
crackers measure in excess Of
two and one-half inches from
breech to muzzle, fuse not coun-
ted). This proposition received
the unanimous endorsement of
the other five councilmen and
the small boy and the small fire.
cracker will be turned losse to-
gether. while the police force will
be armed with tape measures
and fire extinguishers, and de-
tailed to watch the fun.

MRS. FRED KADOW
CALLED BY DEATH
Well Known Woman Dies Sudden
ly at Her Home on Highlands
Funeral Sunday Afternoon

Mrs. Fred j. Kadow died sud-
denly last Thursday at her home
on the Highlands. following an
illness of less than a week. Fun
eral services were conducted Sun
day afternoon at 2:3O in the Con-
gregational church with DR.. r.
A. Atkins officiating. The fun
funeral was attended in a body
by members of the local Masonic
and Eastern Star lodges, the inn
pressive ritualistic burial cere-
monies of the latter being OBJ
served at the cemetery.
Mrs. Kadow's death came as a
sudden sad surprise to the fam
ily's many friends in the COM
munity. Although she had been
in impaired health for more than
a year, she had been feeling ex-
ceptionally we'll during the last
few weeks and was able to at
tend to her household duties un-
til last Tuesday when she was
taken suddenly i'll. During the
succeeding days she was uncon-
scious most of the time. Thurs
day the attending physicians pro-
nounced her condition much inn
proved but in the evening she
took a sudden turn for the worse
and death came quickly. Her
last illness and death was due to
a ruptured blood vessel and blood
clot at the base of the brain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kadow came to
Kennewick from Chicago five
years ago and from a sagebrush
tract developed one of the finest
orchard homes on the Highlands.
She, like her husband, has been
one of the community's most
earnest workers and by reason
of her active interest in church
and fraternal affairs she enjoyed
a large acquaintance in the city
and surrounding country.
She leaves, besides her hus-
band, four children--two sons
and two daughters. Relatives in
Chicago were notified of her
death but owing to the illness of
her mother, they were unable to
come west for the funeral.
Clara Mueller was born in Chi
cago September %, 1879. She
was married to Fred ]. Kadow,
January 1, 1900 and came to
make her home in Kennewick in
November 1909.

Committee Have Shed Their Coats
and 1t Begins to Look Like
Big Day After All
AUTO RACES TO Be FEATURE
LEGAL Car Owners are Eager to Get into Speed
Contests-Two Big Ball Games to be
Pulled Off

The money is subscribed. The
committee have their coats off.
The temperature is rising, and
Kennewick is going to have a
Fourth of July celebration. The
old Eagle that was trotted out
last week looking bit mill
dewed is "perking" up to beat
the band and taking on new
plumage every day. In other
words the rather hazy plans Of a
week ago have been set in motion
in definite and well-directed chan
nels, subcommittee have been
appointed and preparations for
the celebration are progressing
very satisfactorily in every de-
tail.
One of the big features Of the
day will be a number of auto
mobile races, the big one of which
will be run from Richland to
Kennewick. To avoid accidents
on the narrow road, the cars in
this race will run against time,
being started five or ten minutes
- +.
apart. Another race, the course
of which will include some Of the
pitches in the nearby Horse
Heaven hills. is being promoted
by DR.. L. G. Spaulding who is
going to strip his car and enter
it against anything anything its
size in the country. Local auto
owners are taking a lively inter-
est in plans for speed events and
indications are that there will be
some real class and spirited riv-
airy to this feature Of the cele-
bration.
In addition to the auto races,
a good program of horse and foot
racing events has been mapped
out, while two ball games will be
pulled off on the diamond. BY
special request, Finley will cross
bats with Richland and Kenne-
wick will meet the fast Grand
view team, with whom scoring
has become a habit in the upper
valley games. The Finley line
up has been overhauled and rub
bed down and the boys down the
valley are going out after Rich
lands scalp.
The erection of an open-air paw
ilion will be started within the
next few days and dancing will
be on tap both afternoon and
evening. Arrangements have
also been made for a short speak
ing program and appropriate
patriotic exercises to be held in
the pavilion in the morning inn
' smediately following the street
parade which will officially open
the days festivities.
One rule which the committee
has taken oath not to deviate
sfrom is, every attraction will be
pulled off exactly at the sched-
uled time. If contestants are
not ready at the appointed time
they will be requested to con-
tinue their training and enter
next years events. Watchful
waiting is to have no place in the
program. There will be some
thing doing all the time and it
looks like a big day even though
the Eagle was a little slow in

for a short vacation before he returns
to Washington to resume his duties In
the senate. He said he had never
doubted the outcome of the suit against
him.
The trial lasted one week, beginning
Wednesday last. Mrs Bond charged
that the senator attacked her in a
Washington hotel where she had gone
to talk with him about the possible ap-
pointment of her husband. Julian Bond.
as internal revenue collector. Senator
Gore made a general denial OF the
charges in his answer, and In turn
charged that the suit was instfgated
by a coterie of his disappointed politi-
attempt to secure federal appointments.
Senator Cores only remark when the
Jury returned its verdict was:

truth will triumph. I never for a mo-
ment doubted the outcome"

gestiOns to them, could not restrain

she shook hands with the jury fore

dict. despite efforts of bailiffs to pre-
serve order, the crowded court room
was in a turmoil of excitement. The
senator's friends and admirers raised
cheer after cheer. and those displeased
with the verdict silently pushed their
way to the outside.
Mrs. Bond was unmOved by the YER
dict or the demonstration that followed.
She sat quietly at table. scribbling on
a piece of paper. until her attorneys
walked from the court room with her.
Argument in the suit began Tuesday
and was closed Wednesday afternoon.
Ten minutes later the verdict exonerat-
ing Senator Gore was announced.
Cheering Lasted 10 Minutes.
Nobody in that court room tried to
stem the flood Of cheering that rolled
in billows and waves for ten minutes,
subsiding, arising again. swelling into a
vast chorus of tumultuous joy.
The judge. a dignified man past mid
die age, arose. and his face was
wreathed in smiles as he looked out
over that crowd, its umbrellas pounded

I'VE were ready four days ago to re-
turn verdict. At times I looked at
Mrs. Bond and wanted to take her by
the throat and shake her. It just
seemed to me. and to the other men OF
the jury. too. that it was the most cruel
and shameful attack on a good man we
had ever known. It was a mighty
