PULLMAN IS AFTER
BANKERS MEETING
ing of State Bankers Association
Here Next Iear-Would
Mean Seven Hundred
Visitors

Seven hundred bankers of the
state of Washington, comprising the
State Bankers association, may come
to Pullman next June for the annual
three-days session as a result of the
the activity Of the local chamber Of
commerce, which was prompted by a
suggestion dropped by w. Il. Han
son. state bank examiner, and form
erly a prominent Pullman citizen.
The state bankers are becoming
deeply interested in agriculture, -
said Mr.. Hanson, and the holding
of the next annual convention here
would result in great good to all con-
cerned. The visitors would have an
opportunity of visiting the states
great agricultural school, coming in
touch with its work and its scope,
and listening to valuable agricultural
discourses by the college experts. On
the other hand the city of Pullman
and the college would profit in a
great degree through the publicity
given to the town and institution, re-
sulting in added students and at the
same time added revenue for the
city,
Upon motion, which carried unani-
mously, the president of the chamber
was authorized to appoint commit
tee to have the matter in charge and
every effort will be made to secure
the big meeting for Pullman. The
executive committee of the associa-
ton meets in Spokane in December,
at which time a selection of the 1917
meeting place will be made. In case
Pullman fails in its efforts to secure
the convention, attempts to secure a
one-day excursion of the bankers to
Pullman and the college on one day
of the meeting will be made.
Mr.. Hanson expressed surprise,
but keen qualification at the great
amount of improvement work which
has been done in Pullman since his
residence here, and stated that Pull
mans improvements during the last
two years have been greater than
those of any other town its size in
the state.

BOY TENOR
TO APPEAR IN CONCERT
Theodore karle Johnson viii Give
Recital Under Auspices Pullman
Band--Has Gained World
RenOWn

Theodore Karle Johnson, a former
Pullman boy, now one of the best
tenor soloists in the country, will
probably appear in concert here some
time before September ] 5, If plans of
the Pullman band materialize. The
noted tenor, who is a son of Mrs. A.
b. Ford of Pullman, will visit the
Northwest in the early fall and will
give two or three recitals before re-
turning to New York, where he will
join one of the most widely known
opera companies. The cost of stag
ing one of these recitals here would
be in the neighborhood of $165, and
the chamber of commerce has
pledged its support to the band in
making the attraction a financial
success.
The famous tenor recently made
several records for the Victrola com
pany, which aroused unusual inter
est in Pullman and may be heard at
Watts Pharmacy. The fact that
Johnson is well known here, having
been a student in the grade schools,
and is recognized as a tenor with few
peers, should assure big attendance
at the recital and result in a sub
stantial profit for the band.

PLEASANT OUTING

Fifty members of the G. A. r. and
w. r. G. journeyed by automobile to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Mat
hews, north OF Pullman, Tuesday
morning and enjoyed the splendid
hospitality of that esteemed couple.
The big basket dinner was one OF
the features of the occasion, and was
fully up to the high standard estab-
lished by the ladies of the w. r. C.
for good eats" Long tables were
set on the Mathews porches and
others inside the house and each
member of the jolly party did full
Justice to the store Of good things
to eat. The Rev. Clark Thomas of
the Christian church, an enthusiastic
son of a veteran, favored the vet
Grams and ladies with an excellent
talk on Good Fellowship" The
party returned to Pullman just In
time to escape the heavy downpour
of rain on Tuesday evening.

SHER|FF'S FORCE OEPLETES
PULLMAN'S BAY RUM GANG
Seven Arrested for Drunkenness and TakenttO
CoIfax to Serve SentenCes--Many Empty
Bottles Were Found in Searches

Sheriff Cole searched the ]. c..
Okelly blacksmith shop, the Alton
hotel and the Pullman lodging house
for evidence of Illicit sales of intoxi-
cants, and at each place found large
quantities of empty bottles, the
greater part of them bearing bay
rum labels, although some bore pre-
scription labels, written by Pullman
physicians. One label, attached to
a pint bottle which had apparently
contained a mixture of intoxicants,
was evidently written by the physi-
clan himself and probably had never
gone through drug store.
At the O'Kelly blacksmith shop at
least two dozen empty bottles were
found under loose board in the
floor of the office, most of the con-
tanners bearing bay rum labels. At
the Alton hotel a dozen "empties"
were found, one Of them bearing the
label OF a Local physician, with the
directions, ITO be taken three times
a day before meals" Another bot
tie bore this direction: Rub on
limbs after violent exercise" The
search at the Pullman lodging house
resulted in the confiscation of an
other batch of "empties," but no bot
ties containing LIQUOR were found at
any of the three places.
Prosecuting Attorney Burgunder,
Sheriff Cole and Deputy Sheriff
Williams were non-committal as to
the possibilities of other charges
growing out of the evidence gathered
in the three raids.

Pullman's notorious bay rum
gang" was depleted yesterday after
noon when Sheriff Cole and Deputy
Sheriff Williams, assisted by local Of
ficers, rounded up bunch of seven
men, who were given sentences on
the county rock pile,when taken be-
fore Justice George Henry and were
taken to Colfax by automobile last
night to begin serving the sentences.
The men were charged with drunk
eness, some of them having created
disturbances Wednesday evening at
the revival meetings and elsewhere.
The seven men appeared in court late
Yesterday afternoon in various de-
grees of drunkenness, and each was
perfectly willing to admit that he had
imbibed too freely. The four men
who were picked up Wednesday
evening by local officers after Great
ing disturbances were James McDon-
aid, Carl Hansen, Martin Johnson
and L. N. Cody, and sentence of 80
days. was handed out to each m ember
of the quartet. Harry Smith, Walt
Berry and Tom Durgan, who were
arrested yesterday, each drew 10
day term.
Bay rum DRINKS have become a
public nuisance during the past few
weeks, and a number of ladies have
been made the objects of insulting re-
marks. The cleanup by the peace Of
ficers was a thorough one, and will
probably mean the disorganization OF
the gang.

STATIC ELECTRICITY
LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
Experiment Station Head Tells the
Chamber of Commerce of Station
Investigations of Separator
Explosions

Static electricity is very largely,
if not wholly, responsible for the
ignition of the dust and air mixture
which causes explosions and fires in
threshing machines said Dr. Ira d.
Cardiff, director of the state expert
ment station, in an address concern
ing the station investigations of sep
arator fires before the Chamber of
Comm cree last Tuesday. The speak
er secuted the incendiarism theory,
which is still advanced by some farm
ers, and stated that in the station s
Investigations they had never been
able to cause an explosion or igni-
tion by throwing matches into the
machine. Two years ago, he said,
when the theory of incendiarism was
quite generally popular, the station
hired expert detectives to make a
comprehensive investigation. But
one arrest resulted and that man was
sent to the Idaho penitentiary at
Boise. Later Investigations and evil
dence tended to prove the innocence
of the man, and DR., Cardiff stated
that he is now reasonably satisfied
that the man is not guilty and that
steps to secure his release will be
taken if further Investigations of the
case warrant.
Sparks from rocks or sand" said
DR.. Cardiff, ARE not hot enough to
cause a separator fire. A hotter in
candescent spark than those caused
by rocks or sand striking the cylin-
ders is required to cause fire"
DIR. Cardiff told of critical test
to which the stations fire extinguish-
er system was recently put when
quantity of straw inside of an impro-
vised separator was saturated with
gasoline. which is much more com
bustibIe than smut or dust. After
the fire had gained considerable
Roadway the system was brought into
play and the fire was totally extin-
guished in less than two minutes.
The speaker branded as criminal
negligence" the running of separ-
ator without adequate fire protection
and stated that the installation OF a
fen above or behind the cylinder to
preyent the smut from spreading
through the separator and coming in
contact with the grain is even more
imperative than installing an extin-
guisher system. The prevention OF
the spread of the smut alleViates 10
great extent the danger OF explo-
sions or fires in the separator, results
in better grade of grain and pre-
vents the spread of the smut spores
to other fields.
Sixty requests for the free plans
and specifications for the college ex-
tinguisher system have already been
received by the station staff and the
farmers as a general rule are show
ing an inclination to provide ade-
quate protection for their machines

WHEAT WELL PAST
THE DOLLAR MARK
Feverish Excitement Attends Sepsa-
uonal Advances Wednesday,
Thousands of Bushels Sold
TOP GRAIN QUOTATIONS
NEW CROP

The Pullman grain markets re-
sembled the big eastern exchanges In
point of interest and excitement
Wednesday afternoon after reports
of sensational advances in the Chi
cago markets, due to the govern
ment's official report of short crops
and rumors of the spread of black
rust through Canada and the Da-
kotas, had been received here.
Prices at once climbed skyward by
leaps and bounds until the cheapest
grade of wheat was over the dollar
mark, and several grain buyers hied
themselves to the country in an eff
! fort to arouse a selling interest
among the farmers. The total sales
for the day, all for one dollar or bet
ter, were probably about 10000
bushels, although no sales larger
than 1000 bushels were reported.
Despite the sensational advances
some farmers refuse to consider Of
fers, believing that the advance will
continue.
Local grain men estimate that at
least 100000 bushels OF the new
wheat crop in the immediate vicin-
ity Of Pullman, or over one-half the
expected crop in this vicinity, is al
ready under contract. many large
sales having been made the latter
part Of last week at between 80 and
95 cents
Yesterdays quotations were the
same as those of Wednesday, al
though offers of as high as $1.05
are claimed to have been made for
new club wheat, but the market had
quieted down considerably and there
was evidence of less anxiety to buy
on the part OF the dealers and less
inclination to sell on the part of the
remaining holders.
The following sales are reported
to have been made Wednesday after
noon and evening"
NJ. w. WhitloW-11 900 bushels
old red hybrid wheat, No /, at 81
per bushel; 1000 sacks old oats at
$1.18. the hundredweight. The
price paid Mr.. Whitlow for oats is
equivalent to a price of $1.25 on the
new crop.
George Dunning-9000. bushels
old club wheat at $1.03 per bushel.
J. E. Olson--2000 bushels club
wheat at $1.04.
J. w. Darland-1000 bushels club
wheat at $1.04.
Milt Olmstead--10OO bushels old
red Russian at $500.
B. A. Ish-2000 bushels old club
at $100.
Monroe Hatley-200O sacks oats
(contract) at $1.24.
Oscar Kincaid-10OO sacks oats
(contract) at 1924.
Oscar Gilbert--1000 sacks oats
(contract) at 1924.
Many other small sales were made,
bringing the grand total for the day
to over 10000 bushels. The barley
market advanced along with wheat
and oats, but no sales were reported.
