''FORTY-N|NE" BENEFIT
LOOMS AS BIG EVENT
Full Set of Paraphernalia Secured
for Big Red Cross Benefit Under
Auspices of X. of =. Lodge

The task of the X. of p. commit
tee in charge of the big "Forty-Nine'
celebration to be staged on March %
and % as a Red Cross Benefit was
reduced to a great extent this week
when j. j. VanBruggen granted the
use of full set of paraphernalia, in
Guiding almost every old-time gam
bling device known in the early days
of the Northwest, to the lodge Mr..
VanBruggen came into possession of
the paraphernalia when man who
had gathered it together with the
intention of producing "Forty-Nine"
shows under the auspices of lodges
throughout the Northwest failed to
realize on his undertaking, Mr.. Van
Bruggen taking the relics of Abe
wide open days on a debt
Charles O'Neil, editor of the Walla
Walla Valley Spectator, published at
Prescott and an officer of the Grand
Lodge of Washington, knights of
Pythias, has promised to come to
Pullman to help stage the big event,
which, in itself assures the success
of the undertaking. Mr.. O'Neil has
had considerable experience in con-
Quoting "Forty-Nine" shows for
benefit purposes, and gives his tim e
to the Pullman lodge free of charge
for the purpose of boosting the Red
Cross campaign.
Bogus money will be used by the
public to buck" the divers gambling
devices TO be arranged throughout
the X. of P hall, this money to be
sold at a small percentage of its
face value" and the money thus de-
rived to go to the Red Cross. The
bogus money will be of no value ex-
cept for playing purposes on the two
evenings and the man who wins a
couple of thousand bucks" will be
no better off, financially, than the
one who loses his entire pile, but the
Red Cross will profit through the at
tendance of both of them.
The X of p lodge will exert every
effort to make the event the biggest
Red Cross benefit ever staged in
Pullman, and expects to be able to
turn over several hundred dollars to
the good cause after the two even
ings' entertainment.

SMALLPOX CASES
PROVE TO Be MILD
Stampede Caused by Epidemic was
necessary-Disease Well
Uuder Control.

The college hospital has been put
under strict quarantine and the low
er floor of Ferry Hall turned into an
observation hospital as a result of
the development of four cases of
smallpox during the past few days.
All of the young men who have con-
tracted the disease are residents of
Ferry Hall, the boys dormitory. The
disease is in a very mild form, accord
ing to J. L, Gilleland, city health Of
ficer, and it is thought that the con-
tagiOn is under control and will be
entirely stamped out soon through
the strict quarantine and other
measures being adopted 1t is
thought that the four men were in
fected through Maurice Boyer, who,
soon after his trip to Spokane to
take the army physical examination,
developed what was pronounced to
be a case of chickenpox. All of the
four victims of the disease were
brought in close touch with Boyer.
and it is presumed now, that his di-
sease was smallpox.
Every precaution will be taken by
college officials to prevent the far
Their spread of the disease, and ply
sicians declare that parents need feel
no concern, as the present cases are
exceptionally mild and there is litr

PULLMAN IS SUED
BY THE PINKERTONS
For Services Rendered Two Years
Ago at the Request Of Former
Mayor Harley Jackson

A disagreeable reminder of the
administration of Harley Jackson as
mayor Of Pullman has bobbed up in
the form OF a suit against the city
for alleged services rendered by the
Pinkerton National Detective Agency
The complaint, which has been filed
county, sets forth that on or about
the sixth day of April, 1916, the
plaintiffs were employed to perform
certain work and services in connec-
tion with the discovery, apprehension
and conviction of certain criminals
who we're operating within the city
of Pullman; that such services were
rendered and the parties committing
tho crimes apprehended; that the
reasonable value of such services was
s4S4, in addition to actual expenses
amounting to $1S6.64, making n
total of s671.64 due the plaintiffs.
City Attorney Dow has filed a de-
murrer to the complaint on the
ground that it does not state suffi-
eient facts to constitute a cause of
action against the city and has re-
quested that the argument on the
demurrer be fixed for March s.
The suit is the aftermath of the
appearance of Superintendent Riley
of the Pinkerton agency before the
city council in January 1917, when
he presented the bill for services
which he claimed had been rem
dered at the request of Mayor Jack
son. He stated that on numerous
occasions he had written to Mayor
Jackson in regard to the bill, but had
received no reply. On other occa-
sions he had called the executive on
had stated that the money would be
forthcoming very shortly. After
nearly a year of this pickering he
presented the bill to the council d.
rect, and the result was a severe
shock to the city dads, who refused
to take any action concerning the
bill.
On one previous occasion the bill
had been sent to the city clerk for
collection, but when it appeared in
the council chambers for action II is
alleged that Mayor Jackson took it,
stating that the county would pay the
bill and that the city had nothing
to do with it. Just why Mayor Jack
son took it upon himself to contract
the account without the sanction of
the council and why he failed to ac-
quaint the council with the true facts
in the case after it had been con-
tracted is somewhat of a mystery,
but under the circumstances the
councilmen felt that they were en-
terest in the matter.
According to the Pinkerton super
intendent the activities of the detect
ives resulted in the arrest of Donald
Laney and Tom Mckenzie, two Pull
man youths, and their commitment
to the training school, after num-
Der of business establishments had
been burglarized. Since the commit
ment of the boys the burglaries have
hNH
that they broke up the gang"

FEWER LETTERS BEING SENT.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Chicago is
sending out less than three -fourths as
many letters as it did before the in
crease in postal rates, the postoffice
report issued today showed. Since
the 33 1-3 per cent increase in postal
rates last November the average in
crease of receipts for the ensuing
months has been only about IL per
cent. Prior to that time the normal
increase in receipts due to steadily en-
larging business, averaged about .
per cent.
That means that the city, instead
of adding to the postoffice revenue
by 33 1-3 per cent, as expected un-
der the new postal ldws, in reality is
only adding about per cent.
