that man who could speak two lam

But his stock defence to the ques-
tons Of the Senators was that the
alliance was not to be held legally
bound by the statementsin the bulle-
tin, nor even by speeches by the presi-
dents or other officers Of the alliance.
HeXamer Called Foolish
~ think presidents of societies often
say foolish things,' was his comment
on the reading Of a statement by Presi-
dent Hexamer.
Explaining the work his organization
sought to accomplish, he declared that
Germans are more easily assimilatcd
than any other people" He then went
on to tell of the "onslaught against
German Americans" in this country
just before the war.

onslaught retorted Senator Walcott
Senator King then told of the honors
which had been hcaped on men of Ger
man blood in Utah. and Senator Ster-
ling rushed in with a statement that
ticket was never put up in South
Dakota without German names on t.

thought, would be agreed to without
any great amount of difficulty, adding,
however, that this was something the
men would have to decide for them
selves

his men would agree to anything that

"The men are fair. they have been
more than fair" he said, "but there is

credit was given to Mayor Hylan for

Mr.. Swami was asked whether he had

City's Poor Lose $4,000 That
Came by Chemin de Fer Route
Free Gift of Rich Victim Averse Publicity Declined by
District Attorney Because Statutes Permit
No Compromise

District Attorney Swami said last
night that a prominent and very
wealthy New Yorker who recently lost
$4,000 playing chemin-de-fer sent his
. lawyer to the prosecutors office yester-
day with a check for $4,000 and in
structions to turn it over to fund for
the poor of the city. The lawyer said
his client would gladly pay $4,000 to
have his name kept out of the John Doe
inquiry into gambling because Of dan
ger of injury to his credit and his
business reputation.
A few hours before the lawyer ap-
peared with the check the man called
up on the telephone, according to Mr..
Swami, and offered to turn the money
over to the prosecutor. Mr.. Swami said
he recognized the mans voice, but ap-
parently the man thought that he
wasn't known to the prosecutor.
1T was the first time l ever played
chemin-d fer in my life, and l was
properly trimmed. 1t took just thirty
minutes to do it, too,' said the victim.
aren't you ashamed Of yourself ?"
asked Mr. Swami.
"Thoroughly," the victim replied,
"but I'm sending a check down to you
to turn over to the Charity Commits
sioner for the city's poor"
Don't you know" said the prosecu
tor, "that under the law we can sue you
for it in civil action?"
Silence Worth 100000
"You don't need to sue will pay it
gladly. If it were $4,000 I'd gladly
turn it over to you. All l ask is that
my name be kept out of the newspa
kept out of this business. | give that
amount to charity every year, and l
will call this $4,000 gift to charity
and charge it up to experience"
Between this and the arrival of the
lawyer with the cheek Mr.. Swami con-
ferred with his assistants over the
statute books. They discovered to their
isappointment that there is no pro-
vision enabling prosecuting official to
compromise Section 900 of the penal
law, which provides that every person
VINO wins or loses more than $50 IN a
gambling game within twenty-fou-
hours may be penalized for "tive times
the amount won or lost" and the money
turned over to the fund for the poor.
Accordingly, when the lawyer appeared
with the check, there was nothing to do
but decline it.
'If l had the power to compromise
gambling claims under this section we
could collect 1925, ,O0o from individuals
who have made sworn statements be-
fore Judge Wadhams that they have

WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS
MUST CUT CALCULATIONS
War Industries Board will Require
Papers to Use Is Per Cent
Less of Print Paper

An order reducing the amount of
print paper that may be used by
weekly newspapers by Is per cent has
been prepared by the pulp and paper
section of the war industries board and
will be effective Setember Is.
Publishers will be required to make
a sworn statement of the amount of
paper used by them each month from
September 1917 to September 1918.
and each month thereafter they must
make a sworn statement of the
amount used, which must be Is per
cent less than the corresponding
month of the previous year.
This means that country publishers
mast either print less copies or fewer
pages. In the case of the Courier
whose subscription list is.
on a strictly cash-in-advance
basis and whose free list is already cut
to the minimum, the ruling probably
will mean that one or more issues a
month will have to be cut to four or
six pages.

CLUB GIVES UP HOME

That the necessities of the times de-
mand retrenchment by civic organiza-
tions as well as by private concerns
was the decision expressed at the re-
cent monthly meeting of the Com
mercial club when the membership
voted to give up the present room in
the Hover block and seek a less pre-
tentious home. It is probable that the
old building on Yakima street recently
vacated by the city will be leased and
remodeled for the use of the club. The
Woman's club, which has been using
the Commercial club room, will meet
after this month in the library room,
while no decision has been made as to
a future home for the Red Cross work,
altho the organization has been Of

SOW PRODUCES
SMALL FORTUNE
In Eight Years w. III. Anon
Banks $6159 from Increase
from One Animal

From the increase from one brood
sow which he purchased eight years
ago last March, w. H. Anon has
sold $6159. 40 worth of pork, has butch
cred 72 hogs for home use and still
has left on his Horse Heaven ranch
II hogs and 48 young pigs.
Remember, these figures represent
the increase from that one old mother
pig, and if anyone doubts the truth
of this astonishing example of arith-
.metical progression, Mr.. Anon has
the carefully kept data to back up his
statement.
Moreover, in the eight years since
he started his herd the owner has
bought only four tons of shorts, the
balance of the feed being grown on the
Anon place. Mr.. Anon states that
it took him three years to market
the first thousand dollars worth of
pigs, but since that the turmoil has
run as high as $1,000 in some years.
and one years sales reached $1,500.
Two years ago he began cutting down
the size of his herd so that last years
sales fell under thousand dollars
and this year he sold but $3.50 worth.
During the same eight-year period
Mr.. Amon's cash book shows that he
has sold $3.50 worth of work horses
from the increase in his farm stock
and that heifer which was given as
a wedding present to Mr.. and Mrs.
Anon has added $525 to the farms
income from the sale of her calves
alone.

oRIN BEINHART RECEIVERS

D. J. Beinhart has received this week
two letters from his son, Grin, who
was reported by the war department
as seriously wounded in France on
July 20. One letter had been written
on the 23rd and the other on the 10Th.
They were sent from the base hospi-
tai at Anglers and stated that the
wound received was in the right jaw.
The last letter brought word that the
patient was again in uniform and .ex-
pected to be sent back to his duties
within a few days. The letters
brought great relief to the injured
boys father and sister, who have been
waiting for over two weeks for de-
tails as to the nature and severity OF
the injury.

UNION REPORTS
BERRY FIGURES
Twenty-Six Thousand Crates
HandIed-Extra Fancy Aver
age $S.O6; All Grades, $3.50

The Kennewick- -RichIand Marketing
Union shipped this year 26,0S6 crates
of strawberries, of which 81 1922 were
extra fancy grade, 2,702 fancy, l.
OH field run and 400 No. 2. The ex-
ira fancy berries were shipped in 81
pools, the price ranging from $14.68
on May 6-7 to $2.25 on June 10, the
season average being $3.06. The sea-
son average for fancy berries was
$2.83, field run average was 1929 and
the No. 2 berries averaged $1.30. These
prices were f. o. b. ,Kennewick but
do not include the handling charge Of
Zoe per package. The crop brought
the growers $77,560 or season av-
erage of $3.50 for all grades. This
all-grades average beats the returns
of 1917 by 20 cents, as last year there
were 22,4S2 crates handled by the
Union at an average of about $2.7O.
The market this year had its ups
and downs, instead of the usual all
most steady decline from the start Of
the season until its close. About the
third week in May the price suddenly
slumped from about $500 to $3.50
and remained under $500 for week,
then recovered and the berries brought
from $3.25 to $3.50 until near the end
of the season, the final slump catching
only the tail-end of the crop.
