On PrOpOsed Blockade

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Debate on Eng
lands proposed blockade against Ger
many was formally opened in the
house of commons today. Arthur
Benn moved the adoption of a resolu-
tion providing for the blockade. He
declared that America wouldn't object
strenuously. He held that neutrals
would welcome the substitution of an
admittedly legal blockade for the
present measure. In the midst of the
debate on the resolution Sir Edward
Grey announced that the government
had no intention of declaring an ac-
tual blockade.

States Share Totals Sum of $27,310.17
Funds Apportioned to Cities
And Villages Also

The office of the auditor and re-
cOrder has just completed the appor-
tiOnment to various sources the sum
of $214 ,58390, the proceeds of the tax
collections in Latah county for 1915
In the original amount reported by
the tax collector, no apportiOnment
was made of the sums allotted to
school districts "a and 43, Kendrick
and Juliaetta, owing to the suit filed
by the Northern Pacific contesting the
school levy in those districts. The
above figures, however, show the ap-
portionment made to state and county
funds.
In addition to the apportionment to
the above funds, the sums collected
for cities and village tax were appor-
toned and the one and one-half per
cent charge for making the collcc-
ton of taxes was deducted, and con-
verted to the current expense fund.
The apportionment of funds to the
various road districts and various
schools of the county were likewise
made and the sums SO credited will
be shown in another column. The
following is the apportionment to
cities and villages of the county.

VALUABLE LESSON
HOUSEWIVES OF MOSCOW AND

UNIVERSITY AUDITORIUM
Miss BarrOws Discussed Fruits and
Vegetables at the Cookery Demon
stratiOns Tuesday

The discussion of fruits and veget-
ables by Miss Barrows yesterday af-
ternoon delighted her auditors as
much as the previous talk on the
principles of cookery; and the $50
women present received valuable
instruction covering wide variety of
topics.
Miss Barrows is an apostle of the
creed that intelligent cookery makes
/ the most plebeian plant foods ap-
petizing. She stated that as all parts
of plants are used for food and are
variously treated, some knowledge of
the structure of roots, stalks, leaves,
fruits, and seeds is desirable.
IN her demonstrations, which were
eminently successful and speedily ex-
ecuted during the progress of the
talk, Miss Barrows showed how to pre-
pare sauces and custards with eggs,
milks, butter, and cheese so as to rend-
er vegetable dishes an equivalent of
more expensive meat dishes.
! Preceding Miss Barrows, Mrs. Wod-
sedalek dealt in a mastery and abb
sorbing fashion with the problem of
Better Babies. Mrs. Truitt -contribut-
ed interesting remarks to the subse-
quent discussion.
The program was closed by fifteen
minute talk by A. H. Wilson, the
food inspector.
During the afternoon program a
piano duet by Miss Peterson and Miss
Pearson contributed much pleasure.
At the Tuesday morning session of
Housekeeper's week, Miss Amy Kelly,
extension worker for the university,
and Miss Catherine Dryden, county
superintendent of schools, discussed
boys and girls clubs most suggestive
ly, both urging increased interest on
the part of parents.
The telling of a series of stories for
children by Mrs Conwell was most
delightful feature of the program. To
the fifteen children gathered on the
platform and to the grownup auditors
the experience of listening to such
cleverly narrated stories was equal
ly absorbing.
In an instructive talk on music for
children, Miss Tuller urged teaching
them good hymns and the national
airs.
Fifty women responded to the in
vitation to bring their basket lunches
to the domestic science rooms; and
they were there served with hot cof-
fee by the faculty women's club.

LEAP TO DEATH
TO ESCAPE FIRE
FACTORY FIRE AT SEATTLE THIS
MORNING CAUSED SIX DEATHS
AND SEVEN MISSING
WOrkmen Trapped on Fifth Floor,
Some Remain While Others
Made Terrible Leap
By the United Press Associations.


SEATTLE, Jan. 26.-Three men
leaped from the fifth floor of the Walk
er building today and were dashed to
death on the pavement below when a
fire, originating in a pile of hemp on
the fourth floor trapped them.
This afternoon it became known
that three others were burned to
death and seven are reported to be
missing. The firemen found three
bodies on the fifth floor when they
succeeded in fighting their way
through the flames. Most of the
dead are recent refugees of Russia.
P. Beeresos and Ida Vishnedsky
were identified as among the dead
The hemp burned furiously and
those On the fifth floor were trapped
before the alarm was sounded. Be-
fore the department arrived several
leaped to the pavement. One struck
lamp post and was killed. The
others struck the pavement and died
shortly afterwards.
Ray Winkleman of Tacoma had a
contract for drying hemp and en-
ployed nearly a score of men. The
fire started at 80 but was placed un-
der control before II o'clock. Late
this afternoon Winklemans body was
identified as among the burned. The
others burned to death were c. Buck
ley of Portland and Simon BroshtOn.
The body of the third man who jumped
to the pavement has been identified
as j. Friedman. All except two
workmen were later accounted for.
These are believed to have escaped
and to have gone home.
