and See Parade of Blue BloOded
Animals

Next Saturday will be gala day
for the farmers and their families,
who will come to Pullman by wagon
loads, automobile loads and by every
other means of conveyance to witness
the second annual show and mock
sale by the Saddle and Sirloin club
Of the State College. The Chamber
of Commerce has taken an interest
in the big event and has induced all
the Pullman merchants to offer spe-
cial bargains in ali lines Of merchan-
disc during the day for the benefit
the farmers and their families to
make the motive of their trip a dual
one The hour of the big parade has
been changed to ? p. III. to give the
country people an opportunity to get
to town after dinner in time for the
events. A quantity of the thorough
bred stock owned by the farmers OF
this vicinity will make up part Of
the parade, although the main fea-
ture will be the display of State Col
lege stock. Last year this parade
opened the eyes OF hundreds OF PEG
pie to the fact that the college owns
some Of the best livestock in the
Northwest, and the fact that this
stock will be shown again this year,
together with many head of new ami
mals, purchased in the eastern mar
kets, will prove a big drawing card.
The assignment stock has been
rounded into the best of condition
| by the student grooms, and rivalry
among the fifty students taking part
in the contest is intense. The mock
sale will start Immediately after the
parade.
The stockmen's banquet, TO be

the supreme court had sustained the
Judgment of the superior court in
the case of Ida Glaze VS.. the Pull

asked a permanent injunction to pro-

bank from selling the property.

WOULD ANNUL $500
TELEPHONE TAX
City Council Meets in Lengthy Ses-
siOn--Ordinance to Amend Fran
chise Read First Time

First reading was Tuesday evening
given to an ordinance designed to
amend the existing Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph company 5
franchise, the terms of the amend
ment granting relief to the company
from the present $500 annual tax
until such time as they again enter
the local field to bid for local ex-
change business. About year ago
chased the local exchange business
of the Pacific company and has since
enjoyed a monopoly of this business,
operating under a free franchise
which has several years yet to run.
The Pacific company operates only
long distance switchboard, and that
in connection with the Inland com
pany hence relief from the franchise
tax was requested, and will prob
ably be granted by the city fathers
when the ordinance is considered for
final action.
Hearing on the resolution declar-
ing the intention of the city council
to pave that portion of Spring street
tom the new bridge to the city
limits was again postponed, the city,
the railroads and the public service
commission not yet having come to
an agreement on the proposed via
duct, which would make the improve
ment of the streets unnecessary.
The council exempted the Durham
property, on Military hill, from the
general orders to connect with the
city sewer system. The sewer is
above the level of the property and
the expense of connecting would be
prohibitive.
City Engineer Edwards presented
his preliminary estimate on the cost
Of replacing the 8-inch outfall sewer
with both an 18-inch and a l5-inch
pipe. The present outfall is over
taxed and the pipe has burst in
a mum Der Of places. The engineer
estimates that an 18-inch outfall
sewer would cost $4,214,20, while
l5-inch sewer could be laid for
$3,191.70. No definite action was
taken by the council.
The council granted the use Of
Pine street, between Main and Para
disc, for the big general auction sale
of livestock and farm implements
which will he held June 3.

FEMALE JURY ACQU|TS
FEMALE DEFENDANT
Sin Pullman Women Sit on Case In.
VOlving Whelan Women---Assault
and Battery Was Charged

Pullman's first female jury, sitting
on probably the first case in the local
courts in which one woman was ac-
Cused Of assault and battery on an
other, Tuesday afternoon returned
verdict Of not guilty in favor of
Mrs. Daisy Whtford, who was charg-
ed with third degree assault and bat
terry upon the person of Mrs. Naoma
Thomas. Both the principals in the
case reside at Whelan, and are close
neighbors but came to strenuous
blows as a result of differences over
neighborhood matters and the com
planning witness was brought to Pull
man for medical repairs, later caus-
ing a warrant to be issued for the
arrest of her alleged "assailant."
The case was tried before Justice
of the Peace George N. Henry, with
Prosecuting Attorney II. Nj. Burgun-
der in charge of the case for the
state and John w. MATHEWS appear
ing as legal council for the defend
ant. The unusual character of the
case attracted capacity crowd OF
court fans TO the city hall, a large
percentage OF the eager listeners be-
ing women.
BY mutual consent Il jury of six
Pullman women was selected to sit
on the case, the jury including Mrs.
E.O. Carthcart, Mrs. L.R Miller, Mrs.
w. c. Kruegel and Mrs. A. Il. Egge
Two hours was consumed in prelim-
inaries and in the taking of testi-
mony, after which the jurors retired
to privacy, voted, and Immediately
returned verdict of acquittal.
Each of the principals to the fstic
encounter claimed that the other had
struck the first blow, and the lack of
eye-Witnesses to the combat made the
case a complicated one. Mrs. Whit
ford the defendant, claimed that she
chased one of Mrs. Thomas cows
from her garden, and that a few min
utes later, when she went to the de-
pot to take the train for Pullman,
she found Mrs. Thomas waiting for
her in the depot door. The defend
al
insulting in her remarks and ac-
cused her of stealing a pair Of rub
bers belonging to Mrs. Thomas. She
stated that Mrs. Thomas warned her
to keep out of the depot and that
when she started in Mrs. Thomas
tore hair switch from her head
and attempted to hit her with stick
or piece of iron. This, she claimed,
started the fistic battle which re-
suited in a severe scalp wound, re-
curing several stitches, together
with several cuts and bruises and
black eye for the complaining wit
ness.
The story told by Mrs. Thomas diff
fered but little from that told by
the defendant except as to the man
ner in which the fight was started.
She claimed that Mrs. Whitford pro-
voked the encounter and struck the
first blow, and that she suffered Sc
we're injuries from weapon" in the
hands of Mrs. Whitford, although
there was some diversity of opinion
as to whether the alleged weapon"
was a railroad spike or a piece of
wood. Mrs. Thomas stated that the
two women, while neighbors, had not
spoken for six months
Several witnesses were called, but
the lack of direct evidence Of illegal
intent on the part of the defendant
resulted in the verdict of acquittal
by the female jury.

IIFONARD CRAWFORD
DIES At OLD AGE
,.onaer Settler Came to Pullman
Forty Years Ago, Locating
Quarter Section

Leonard Crawford, Pullman's old
oot homesteader, died at his home in
North Pullman Saturday afternoon,
GOOD 81 years, after an illness of
short duration. Funeral services
wore held Sunday afternoon from
Kimball's undertaking chapel, in
charge of the Rev. Harley Jackson,
formerly pastor of the Christian
church, of which Mr.. Crawford was
member.
Leonard Crawford was born in
Ohio on January u, 1929, his par
epts being James and Phoebe Craw-
ford. He resided in Ohio until II
years of age, then accompanied his
family to Jefferson county, Wiscon-
sin and several years later to Fay
cite county, Iowa, where for a num-
Der of years he followed the dual O2-
cupation of farming and running a
sawmill. He was one of the earliest
settlers in that county. In 1867 he
removed to Missouri, going thence to
Kansas in 1871, where he resided
until 1876, when he answered the
call of the West and came across the
plains by team. Mr.. Crawford was
in Cheyenne at the time of the acted
Custer massacre. He continued his
westward journey until he reached
Whitman county, and settled on a
quarter section just east of the pres
ent city of Pullman, which now com
prises the city ball park.
Later he sold this quarter section
and purchased a farm three miles
northeast of Pullman, where he re-
sided until he moved to Pullman -
years ago.

consin on January /, 1852, to Miss

RED. WHITE AND BLUE
 FOURTH INSTEAD NOISY

There have been fewer frecrackers and torpedoes and other noise-makers this Fourth than there have been in a long time. It was a Red-White-and- Blue Fourth instead of a noisy Fourth. The safe and sane campaign may have had something to do with it, but un- doubtedly there are other reasons. There has been so much patriotism all over the country that the supply was not equal to the demand. And besides, there is probably a conserva- tion of explosives on account of the prevalence of war. And modern war fare would not be very effective with out powder and lots of it.

THE TONGUES OF MEN"
An Oliver MorOsco Production in Which Constance Collier Appears
 to Advantage as Opera Singer.

The element of truth in The Tongues of Men" will be readily re- cognized and appreciated by audiences in city, town or village. Hypocrisy, suspicion and intolerance are three unlovely human qualities that Edward Childs Carpenter handles quite adroit- ly in an artistically produced Oliver Morosco picture. Constance Collier, herself a photoplay actress of com manding presence and considerable
 beauty, is admirably supported by Forrest Stanley, Herbert Standing, Lydia Yeamans Titus and other play CTS, who, without exception fulfill the requirements of the characters pre- sented by the author Even in the casting of so minor a figure as the church sexton. the director was care full to select an appropriate type. This is merely a sample of the atten- tion paid to details and the production profits immensely in consequence.
 The story is founded on a prigeish young minister's prejudice against the stage and actresses, prejudice that finds expression in his denmciatjon of Jane Bartlett. an opera prima donna, for her part in what he terms an in- moral performance. His attack, pub ished in the newspapers. determines the singer to show up the minister for the foolish youth that he is She wins his friendship without much diff ficulty, proves to his satisfaction that she is a perfectly respectable woman, even accepts him as her future hus- band and gets public retraction of his unjust accusations. When all this has been accomplished. the prima donna quietly returns his love and his ring that he may renew his engage

ment to colorless, conventional little girl better suited to be his wife.
 There is sound character drawing in the portrayal of the earnest, but narrow-minded rector of a fashionable parish, entrusted with the kindly tol- erance of the more worldly-wise Dr. DariRal; also in the members of the vestry and the altar guild all to ready to credit the gossip linking the names of their rector and the singer. One welcomes logical situations of the kind developed, in place of the uncon- vincing heroics that too frequently pass for strong scenes. Miss Collier, in appearance and manner, is ideally suited to the role of an opera singer. Mir. Stanley's presentation of Sturgis is consistent and Lamar Johnstone dis plays the requisite poise and author ity in his acting of Dr. Fanshawe. All of the settings are in good taste and notably fine is the staging of a spec tacular opera.

INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT
 OF A PUBLIC INDUSTRY
Thousands of Dollars Saved Annually hy introduction Modern Methods
 in Postoffice Department

The interest of people in public af- fairs is considerably heightened when they learn that the revenues of the government are wisely and judiciously managed. A statement of economical expenditure which is susceptible of proof will always attract attention and please the thoughtful reader.
 Among the varied industrial enter rr,es of the post office department in Washington is an establishment de- voted entirely to the manufacture of mail locks and the bag attachments used in mail transportation. When this administration came into power, the department sorely needed an inn proved type of mail lock. The shop was immediately recognized, placed on business basis, and it's activities enlarged so as to meet this imperative demand. Within very short time d new and greatly improved lock had been devised and it's production be- gum
 The lock in use weighed 1-2 ounces; the new one weighs ? l-5 ounces. As 43O,000 of this new pro duct have been put into service, he difference in weight (the government paying as much for the weight of equipment as it does for the mail itscl0 can be easily calculated. The locks replaced by this new and better tye cost 21 cents each to make; those now being manufactured cost l-- cents, direct and indirect charges considered, the saving thus shown on original cost of production to date amounting to $53,7 ,750 Of the old stylc @6000 were annually returned Tor repair at a cost of about 9 cents each, Of the new style, out of the great number sent into the service, but 906 have been returned, and as these new style locks can be repaired al 3 cost of cents each, the annual saving on this item will amount to over S2,l00.
 he department has in this admins trauon encouraged it's employees to give their best service to the govern mtlt and many instances have re- gently come to notice wherein the de- partment has greatly profted by this Wise public policy In the lock shop a recent achievement in this direction is an improved cord fastener, the work o' three of its employees, for use on oags; also one designed for locking arge quantities of parcel-post matter, which has heretofore been without 'hiS protection. It can be made at a very low price, requiring less ma 'erlal and a fewer number of opera uons' The significant part of this lies :" the great number required in the S'rVlce between three and four mil "ohS' the output being 500,000 an-
