everything in his power to control
the disease, and / wish that all par

Immediately closed the place and

COLFAN FIRM FOR
THE STATE COLLEGE

That ColfaX is firm in her support
of the State College and deeply in
terested in the welfare of the big in
stitution is evidenced by the stand
recently taken by the Colfax Com
mercial Club. The Pullman Cham
Der of Commerce this week received
copy of the resolution passed
unanimously by the ColfaX Organiza-
tion upon its presentation by Judge
Thos. Neill, in which support for the
State College is pledged, and in his
letter accompanying the resolution
H. NJ. Love, secretary of the Colfax
club, said:
Il want to assure you that our
club and the citizens of Colfax and
vicinity are in hearty sympathy with
the State College and stand ready at
all times to do everything in our
power for the upbuilding of the insti-
tuition. If we can render you any
assistance in any way at any time in
this regard, we will be pleased to
do So"
The resolution, which has been the
cause of much favorable comment by
the citizens of Pullman, was pub
lished by The Herald last week.

BASKET BALL GAME
AT HIGH SCHOOL


The initial basket ball game of the
season for the Pullman high school
will be played this (Friday) even
ing in the local gymnasium, when
Coach Savage's quintet will meet the
Cotton five. A good deal of inter
est is being taken in the game, due
to the fact that Cotton comes with a
big, fast team in prime condition,
while the local boys have turned out
during the last two weeks only. The
showing that Pullman makes Friday
evening will give line on it's
chances in the race for the county
championship. Those who will start
the game for Pullman are:
Center-NanVori
Guards-McIver and Kampen.
FOrwards-Nasha and Douglas.
Subs-Burgess, Carpenter, Robin
son and Randel.
The team is not at it's full
strength as yet, owing to the fact
that Dressler and Miller, last years
speedy forwards, are out of the game
on account of grades.

he listened and heard sounds like wood cracking, and then caught sight of his father, Martin Kane, and heard him say: Well. May, what are you doing there?"
 The witness said he also heard a father asked May who he had with him.
 The answer was 'Nobody." Then the witness said he heard his father say: Brown you'd better come out of that car"
 On cross examination MT. Kane said that his special mission to the Fort Neck yard was to watch the employees because the work that had been done looked like jobs by the employees. He described how he got on a bumper be- tween two cars and from there saw Brown and May pushing open the door of the car and go into it. He said he didn't make himself known at the time his father caught the men because his instructions were not to allow himself to be known to anyone, no matter what happened.
 Robert C.. Karnes of East Provi- dence. division special agent for seven years for the New Haven road on the r Providence division, testified that he had given instructions to William M Kane on Dec. to go to the Fort Neck yard because of thefts that had taken place in the yard and that he was to keep under cover"
 MT. Karnes told of visiting Brown and May in the cell at the New Lon- don police station, where May said to him that there was too much trouble already ready and he wouldn't say any, thing because it would be used against him. May also said that this was the first thing he had been in since work ing for the New Haven road, the wit ness testified.
 William M Kane was recalled to the stand to tell what he found when he checked up the car at Putnam on the day after It was broken open. He told how boxes shipped from a soap com pany and other consignments were broken open and their contents seat tered around the car. He produced the way bills, which were laid in as ex- hibits. One shipment of a box of axes checked up two short in the box. One axe was found on the floor of the car and the other up st the end of the car. All the broken open boxes showed the scars of axe blades.
 Court adjourned at 4.30 until next Tuesday morning.
 The jury in the case consists of the following: A1bie l.. Hale, William M. Burdick, Norwich; John P. Hollowell, Earl Bennett, Preston; Albert H. Foote, Colchester; Joseph B. Blakeslees Hor- ace Foote. Elmer B. Pultz, Lebanon: Martin O.. Chapman, North tSonington; William J. Brassfl, Franklin; Olaf Nell son. Lisbon; George A. Tanner. Volun- town.

TRIED FOR BREAKING
 INTO RAILROAD CAR.
Earl May and Truman Brown of New
 London Before Superior Court.


 Earl May and Truman Brown of New London were placed on trial in the superior court here on Friday aft ernoon before Judge William L. Ben- nett and a jury on the charge of breaking into freight car of the New Haven road on the afternoon of De- cember in the Fort Neck freight yard in New London. May was em- ployed as yard clerk by the road and Brown was a brakeman.
 Boxes of merchandise in the car were found broken open.
 The accused were defended by Att torney G. Curtis Morgan and State Attorney Hull was assisted in the prosecution by Attorney Warren Bur- rows.
 Martin Kane of Providence, a special officer in the employ of the road. was the first witness. He told of finding the seal of the car broken and of list ening outside the car for several min- utes while he heard the sound of axes being used in the car. He found Brown and May inside the ear when he went in through the door and they made offers to see if the matter couldn't be fixed up, he said.
 On cross examination MT. Kane de- nied that he told the two accused in the New London police station that if they told who did break into the cars he would intercede for them. He also denied that he tried to get May to tell when he visited him in the New Lon- don jail. He also said that he made no search of the mems clothing at the time of the arrest to see if they had any stolen property on them. John Widerhold of New Haven, freight conductor on the New Haven road, who was in charge of the freight train that was running from New Haven to Midway, described his duties as to taking the numbers and initials of cars and seeing that all were seal ed. He produced his record showing that the broken into freight car was reported in good condition upon ar rival at New London and it was bound for Putnam.
 The attorney for the accused said that he conceded that the ear was O. K. upon arrival in New London and was so reported by the defendant, May.
 William M Kane of Providence, epe- cial officer of the Providence division of the New Haven road, which takes in New London and as far west as Waterford, testified to being in New London on Dec. on orders to look out for thieves and to get into the Fort yard without letting anyone know what he was there for. He told of seeing Brown and May pushing open the door of the freight car and saw Brown go into the car and May after him. Getting up close and hiding behind the wheels of a car. the witness said
