When Victim Refuses to
Prosecute

Paul Pattison, former Whitman
county prosecuting attorney, who
spent a year in the Monroe reforma-
tory upon a plea of guilty to the
charge of embezzlement in this
county in 1912, has escaped trial on
charge of forgery at Seattle

GASOLINE FIRE
CAUSES INJURY
Miss Mary f.. Sutherland Severely
Burned When Pan of Gasoline
Catches Fire

Miss Mary f. Sutherland, home
economies specialist with the extern
sion service of the State College, was
severely burned at her home in Col
lege Park Saturday afternoon when a
pan of gasoline in which she was
cleansing gloves caught fire in some
mysterious manner. The burning
fluid set fire to her dress, result
ing in severe burns to both her arms
and her chest. Miss Sutherland was
saved from more serious or possibly
fatal injury by the calmness and
good judgment of other women in
the house, who smothered the flames
with blankets. The injured lady
was taken to the Pullman hospital
where the burns were dressed by Dr.
Kinney. The burns are superficial
and no lasting Disbursements or IN
Jury are expected to result, although
Miss Sutherland will probably be con-
fined to the hospital for several
weeks.
The fire in the residence was
quickly eXtinguished by the fire de-
partment, the damage being estim at
ed at $500

MANY CONFER WITH
i. S. REVENUE MEN
Trio of Revenue Collectors Kept
Busy Dispensing Information
During Two Days Stay Here

Over 500 Pullman business men
and farmers conferred with the trio
Of internal revenue collectors who
were here Monday and Tuesday in
regard to the workings of the income
tax law While lthe visit of the
PARTY was intended to be of purely
educational nature, several Pullman
people whose incomes are of suf-
ficent size to come under the pro-
visions of the new law made final re-
turns and are now square with Uncle
Sam so far as that one item is con-
cerned at least, although final re-
turns are not demanded until June.
Upon arriving in Pullman the
party divided. representatives being
stationed at each bak to dispense in
formation concerning the workings
of the law, and from morning until
night of each day the officials were
kept busy answering questions and
offering suggestions.
The feature of the conferences was
the large number of farmers who
have no means of ascertaining the
extent of their net incomes, no de-
tailed record having been kept of re-
ceipts and expenses, but the farmer
having contented himself with taking
what came his way and spending 1t
as best suited his desires Many of
these farmers who have employed
slip-shop bookkeeping methods in
the past left their conferences with
the income tax collectors resolved to
know, at the end of the present year,
just where every cent came from and
how and when it was spent.
Included in the party which visit
ed Pullman were Thad Sweek, a U.
s. revenue collector of many years
experience; s. E. Ratliff of Colfax,
formerly editor of the Palouser, and
r. r. Christian of Spokane, the two
latter deputy collectors. From here
the collectors went to Asotin county,
and next week will work western
/ Whitman county.

MILK
SUPPLY IS BAD
Chamber of Commerce Takes Steps
to Insure Pure Milk-ProbIem
Discussed by DIR. Patee and
DIR. Magoon

Efforts to insure a purer milk sup
ply for the city of Pullman will be
made by the chamber of commerce
as a result Of a discussion ON that
subject before the chamber last
Tuesday. led by DR.. E. T. Patee, city
health officer, and DR.. c. A. Magoon,
associate professor of bacteriology at
the State College. The president OF
the chamber was empowered, by vote
Of the organization, to name a COM
mittee of five to take the matter of
better milk up with the local pro-
ducers and to report back to the
chamber for final action. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that in order to
insure better milk the consumers
would be required to stand an in
crease in price for the product,
which now retails at 10 cents per
quart
archaeological tests made by DR..
Patee and Dr. Magoon showed much
of the milk now being consumed by
the people of Pullman to be consid-
erably below standard 50 far as bac-
terra in concerned, the tests in one
instance showing a bacteria content
of over one million to the cubic
centimeter of milk, although the for
eign matter was what is usually
classed as harmless" containing no
virile disease germs.
The two specialists commended
very highly the efforts of l.. G.
Thayer, a farmer residing east of
town, to produce clean milk. Tests
proved that the milk sent out by Mr..
Thayer would class Jas certified
milk, tests for bacteria ranging from
200 to 600, or practically perfect.
Tests of all of the commercial dair-
les will be made before the figures In
each case are made public.
In opening his timely discussion
on the evils Of impure milk, DR.. Ma
COON asked this pertinent question:
How would you men like to eat
your chamber of commerce dinner
In an ill-kept barn, behind unclean
cows?" He then enumerated how
Pullman people are doing practically
the same thing when they eat food
prepared with milk that is produced
pointed out the fact that bacteria
multiplies much more readily in milk
than in almost any other food, and
cited the grave danger Of a wide
spread epidemic of typhoid fever or
other disease through an impure
milk supply. Pullman should by
all means have a certified milk sup
ply" he said. ut costs more money
to produce pure milk than the i'm
pure kind but the people should be
willing and glad to pay the increased
cost to gain the conviction that they
are leeulnB luciHheINcb dhu bhOii
children milk that is free from dis
ease germs and other bacteria"
DR.. Magoon stated that much more
can be accomplished by cooperating
with the milk producers and paying
them a fair price for their pure milk
than through the exercise Of police
powers in closing up those diaries
which find it impossible to produce
milk that is free from bacteria at
% cents per quart
A number of archaeological plates
prepared by DR.. Magoon were ex-
planned to the members Of the cham
Der of commerce. The plates
showed, in a magnified form, the re-
suits Of tests made with the Pull
man milk, and sent chill of horror
down the spine of every observer.
