GRAND CHANCELLOR
VISITS PULLMAN
Head of Knights of Pythias for State
of Washington Makes Official
Visit to Evening Star Lodge

II. G. Rooms of Tacoma, grand
chancellor of the order of Knights of
Pythias for the domain of Washing
ton, paid his annual official visit to
Evening Star Lodge No. &c last Mon
day evening. Mr.. Rooms was accom-
panied by IL. NJ. Love of COlfaX,
grand keeper of records and seal,
and the visitors were guests of honor
at a banquet, in which clans figured
as the principal article Of diet.
Grand Chancellor Rooms had never
before visited Pullman, and was loud
in his praises of the city and the
lodge. Tuesday morning he was es-
corted to the college, where he visit
ed the buildings, campus and farm,
and expressed great pleasure and
considerable surprise at the wonder
full work which is being done at the
institution. Mr.. Rooms has visited
aim ost every town in the state dur
ing the past six months, and reports
that in some sections, especially in
the lumber districts of the west side
and the fruit districts of central
Washington, the money stringency is
being keenly felt. Many lumber
camps have been shut down, owing
to the effects of the European war
throwing hundreds of wage earners
out of employment temporarily. In
direct contract to these conditions
Mr. Rooms noted the prosperity of
the Palouse country, where dollar
wheat and lots of it has over
whelmed any stringency that might
have accompanied the European dis
turbances.

BELGIAN DRAMA READ
FOR BELGIAN RELIEF
Dean White Reads Maeterlinck' S
'Monna Wanna" War Play,
Friday Night

1t was peculiarly appropriate that
the play Norma Wanna" written by
Maeterlinck, the great Belgian play
wright, should be read at the enter
tainment last Friday night, the pro-
ceeds of which were to be contrib
uted toward the Belgian relief fund.
And the Womens League, under
whose auspices the program was ar.
ranged, was more than fortunate in
securing Dean White as the reader
whose Interpretation would bring
the events OF the play most clearly
before us.
Norma Wanna" portrays war time
and it horrors; a city saved by a
woman's willingness to make the
supreme sacrifice; the strength and
weakness of the born soldier; the
everyday man so bound by conVen-
ton that he fails before the unusual,
even when the test involves the big
gest passion of his life.
But the play is essentially a
woman's, for Wanna is always the
chief character, even though we fail
to see it at all times. Her strength
and purity of love react upon those
about her until we would make
heroes of them for the deeds which
she inspires. All this and more Is
portrayed with that cleyerness Of de-
tail and clear insight into character
of which Maurice Maeterlinck is so
eminently capable.
Dean White got into the spirit Of
each character with wonderful versa
tality. AS she read we were carried
into the palace or into the soldiers
tent, and were made to recognize
clearly the ripe wisdom of the old
Father Marco, the strength and love
of Wanna, the wrath, grief, and self
love of Guido, and Prinziyalle's re-
.cognition OF Vanna's purity.

No VERDICT IN LANEY CASE

After celebrating over 20 hours
the jury in the case Of Albert Laney
versus ID. NJ. Haynes, in which Laney
sought $4,000 damages for alleged
alienation of the affections OF Mrs
Albert Laney, failed to come to an
agreement, and was discharged by
the presiding Judge. 1t was one of
the most sensational cases in Whit
man county's judicial history, and
upwards of 60 witnesses, many of
them from Pullman, submitted evil
dence, The case went to the jury
Saturday, and all through the extend
ed deliberations the vote is said to
have stood six for the plaintiff and
six for the defendant, with no
chance whatever for an agreement.
d. G. Dow of Pullman led the legal
battle for the plaintiff, while John
W. Mathews, also Of Pullman. was
head attorney for Mr.. Haynes. The
attorneys have not yet announced
whether or not they will retry the
case, but it is thought probable that
further action will be taken

HOG SHOW POSTPONED

After The Herald had gone to
press last week the committee in
charge of the Pullman Hog Show de-
cided to postpone the affair two
weeks. This action was taken be-
cause the directors of the Northwest
Live Stock association had postponed
the big show at Lewiston on account
of the danger of the foot and mouth
disease. The question of whether
the Pullman show should be held in
the event that the Lewiston, show is
abandoned has been put up to the
exhibitors. If a majority of them
think that it is advisable to go ahead
the show will be held, If not it will
be postponed to next year.

lieye that It is splendidly adapted to
the production OF grain and live
stock and offers great opportunities
on account of the comparatively low
price OF the land.
