VETERANS MEETING
JUNE 4, 5 AND 6
Nineteenth Annual Gathering of Old
Soldiers VIII BE Held ia City
Park-Committees Are
Named

On Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, June 4, and {, the nine
.teenth annual encampment of the
Veterans Association of Whitman
and Latah counties will be held in
the city park, when it is expected
that at least 100 veterans of the
Civil war will come TO Pullman to
listen to the patriotic program, swap
yarns OF army days, and accept OF
the hospitality OF Pullman people.
Arrangements for the annual en-
the local sons OF veterans, are fast
taking tangible shape, and several
novel features are being planned for
the old veterans. The free-for-alI
bean bake, which proved the biggest
drawing card of he encampment last
year, will again lind its place ON the
schedule of events, and in all prob
ability will be held on Friday even
ing, the second day of the meeting.
The fife and drum corps composed
OF old soldiers from Reno Post of
Spokane Will again be on hand to
furnish martial music to quicken the
step of the grizzled veterans, and
several new features will be added
to make the stay OF the visitors a
memorable one.
Believing that the greatest value
of the annual gatherings lies in the
teachings Of the principles of pat
riotism and reverence for the old
veterans to the younger people,
whose duty it will be TO perpetuate
this spirit through another genera
ton and keep fresh in the minds of
the masses of the people the great
sacrifices of their grandfathers in
the cause of the Union, especial pat
riotic programs OF an educational
nature will be arranged. One plan
which is meeting with considerable
favor is the holding oi q competitive
patriotic session, competition TO be
limited to the differ ert grade and
rural schools in the yltlnity of Pull
man, the nature of the dem orstra-
tton by eara school to be left to the
discretion If the school
Patriotic addresses win be deliv-
cred by local and outside talent, and
in all probability one session will be
devoted entirely to round-table war
stories by the veterans themselves.
Musical numbers and patriotic read
ings will also form a part of the
various programs. At a meeting of
the Sons of Veterans held Friday
evening the following committees
were named to have the different
phases of the encampment in charge:
Program and entertainment

W.S.C. STUDENT LOSES
LIFE IN SNAKE RIVER
Ross V. Hutchinson of Endicott
Drowned at Lewiston During
Canal Fete-Member State
College Band

Ross V. Hutchinson of Endicott, a
Sophomore at the State College, lost
his life in the Snake river at Lewis
ton last Monday, when the guard
over the stern wheel, on which the
young man was standing, gave way
precipitating him through the revolv-
ing wheel and into the icy waters.
Hutchinson was a member OF the
college band, which was boarding the
steamer Teal" to take a pleasure
excursion.
The vessel was lying along shore
taking on passengers at the time of
the accident. AS soon as the band
men were aboard they mounted to
the upper deck. Seeing chairs on
the hurricane deck, where another
band had been playing during pre-
vious "trip, the w. S. c. boys started
up by the stairway which led up
over the housing of the paddle wheel
at the stern.
1t was while the narrow stairway
was somewhat blocked by number
of people that the boards beneath
Hutchinson, who was standing over
the wheel, suddenly gave way, let
ting him down among the paddles,
which were slowly revolving to keep
the shore line taut.
Chester King, a Freshman in the
band, Immediately leaped in after
the drowning man. King is an ex-
cellent swimmer, but in spite of his
best efforts he was unable to reach
Hutchinson, who was carried out OF
reach by the current, and barely
rose to the surface once.
1t is thought that the unfortunate
student was either stunned or dis
abled by the revolving paddles as he
fell. Although he was unencum-
bered by his instrument and only
about rod from shore, the current
was swift and the water cold and
deep. So far as is known, his body
has not yet been recovered. If it
was taken into the quiet water near
by 1t will likely be found, but if
swept out into the main stream by
undercurrents, as old-timers present
feared, weeks may pass before it is
recovered.
AT the time of the accident several
OF the band men were standing over
the wheel AS the boards began to
crack they leaped to the deck Just in
time to avoid the same fate as
Hutchinson.
The young man was % years of
age and was born ON the family farm
near Endicott. He is survived by his
mother. Mrs. E. A. Hutchinson who
is i'll in Portland hospital. three
sisters, Miss Bertha, who is with her
mother in Portland; Iva a student at
the college, and Dorothy, who is at
the family home in Endieott, as well
as two brothers. Ray r., an Endieott
photographer, and Clyde. who is
farming in Montana. His father died
several years ago

clusions on vital matters and will make recommendations only after careful study and deHberation.
 Panama Bonds Available for Navy
 The subject of the national defenses was generally discussed in Washing ton today. Officials who realize that it will require largely increased ap- propriations to carry out President Wilson's recommendations for 'tvery adequate defense'' legislation, discuss ed the probability of placing sale up to $2OO,00O,000 of unsold Panama Canal bonds The President and Sec retary of the Treasury are authorized by existing law to sell these bonds. The policy has been not to do so provided the revenues are sufficient to pay the cost of construction at Pan anna as the work progresses. Officials would much prefer to sell Panama Canal bonds than to issue short-time treasury certificates or general gov ernment bonds.
 Much interest is being manifested here in the proposal to include in the forthcoming naval programme rec ommendation for the construction of one, or more giant battle cruisers, to have a speed of 35 knots per hour, which is far in excess of that of Great Britafn's celebrated Queen Elizabeth and similar ships, and to carry an armament of 16-fnch guns. There is
 
 called small navy men in Congress would be disposed to support an ap- propriation for this type of ship.
 There has been discussion of the advisability of appropriating for bat tie cruisers heretofore, but the Naval General Board has not included this type of vessel in it's recommendation recently. During the last E. session former Representative Hobson of Alabama made strenuous efforts to secure the. adoption of an amendment providing for swift battle cruisers, but lost his fight. Several members on both sides of the House spoke stn support of the Hobson amendment, but they could not muster sufficient votes to carry it through. The un- derstanding has been that not all high ranking naval officers favor bat l tie cruisers for the American navy, i some contending that our greatest i need is heavy first line fighting ships 1 and the necessary auxi1iaries. Naval i officers will stand as unit behind the administration programme for i national defense legislation, as will | the officers of the army.

Major Alfred Dreyfus, who figured fR one of the most memorable ni1i- tary scandals ever aired, will be fifty six years old tomorrow The cele- brated Hebrew officer of the French. army is now said to be serving his 5country in fortress near Paris. His young son has been fighting at the front since the beginning of the war; and has won honorable mention for gaIIantry. Major Dreyfus is still broken in health as 8 result of the terrible ordeal through which he passed, and is not strong enough for active service in battle He was born in AIsace on<October g. 1859, and en-
 tered the Polytechnic School in Paris in 1878. Four years later he was made a lieutenant of artillery. and in 1889 he was promoted to the rank of captain. In 1894 he was arrested on the charge of selling military se- crets to Germany and Italy. At, that time he held a high position 5on the general staff, and was recognized as one of the ablest of French artillery officers The chief evidence was a compromising document said to have been found in the waste basket of the German embassy in Paris. He was convicted and degraded from his rank in the army and sentenced to life i'm prisonment on the Isle du Diable,

Subway Work Progresses
Rapidly With Trucks

The quality and stability of Pack

demonstrated in this city by
the Atkinson Motor Transfer comapny
or Baltimore. Md, which concern is
under contract in hauling ground from
the site of the new South Second street
subway to a location west along the
river.
This concern is operating five four
ton Packard trucks on this work which
are equipped with hydraulic hoist
dump bodies and are working contin-
uously with remarkable success.
The condition under which these
trucks are beng operated owing to
Winter weather and the anture of the
work is sufficient evidence as to the
worth of n vehicle of this kind.
THESE heavy duty trucks are attract
ing much attention and favorable
comments as they go over the route
OF their trip by many men represent

come in contact with the trucks.
Packard trucks have already DEM
