With $4,000 Bonds Sold in Honor

the new building. II the bond-selling
campaign is as successful as expected,
arrangements for the construction OF

DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN
TO CONTINUE UNCHANGED
Congress Fails by Eight Votes to Pass
Measure Over Presidents
Veto.

The daylight saving plaza. under
which the clocks are turned forward

following President Wilson's veto OF
the $33,00O,000 agricultural appro'
priation bill because of it's rider re-
pealing the daylight saving act. the
house refused by vote of 24i to 135
to pass the measure over the presi'

Strength mustered by the repeal
advocates was eight less than the nee
essary two-thirds of the members
present Party lines were disregard
ed in the voting, members from agri-
cultural districts-the source OF most
of the pposition-favoring passage
of the bill as originally enacted. with
representatives from the urban dis
tricts opposing.
House advocates of the repeal said
that no further effort would be made
at this session. perhaps not in this
congress, which continues in existence
until March, 1921, to wipe out the
daylight saving act. There was no
indication, they said. that they would
be able to strengthen their forces,
Senate leaders also indicated that
no action would be originated in that
body to repeal the act, and failure OF
house to pass the appropriation meas
ure over the presidential veto VIII
prevent any action by the senate on
the repeal rider.

SPEAKERS CHAMPION
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
LEADING CHAUTAUQUA LECTCR-
ERS URGE ACCEPTANCE OF
COVENANT.

Two strong pleas for the accept
ance by the United States of the
League of Nations covenant, which
was characterized as the backbone
of the treaty" with Germany, were
made by the two stellar lecturers on
the Chautauqua program this week.
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell, who spoke Tues
day evening and William Jennings
Bryan, who was here Thursday after
noon.
The Chautauqua week program,
which closes Friday night. has been
generally pleasing, and the big tent
on the old high school grounds has
been filed to capacity practically
every afternoon and evening The
largest crowd of the week heard Mr..
Bryan's lecture. though the tent was
packed Wednesday evening for the
concert by the Czecho -Slovak band,
and also for Miss Tarbelrs lecture
Tuesday evening.
Arriving in the city about l o'clock
Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Bryan was
given a luncheon by local Democrats.
arrangements for which were made
by p. NJ. Troy, Democratic state COM
mitteeman for this county who is an
old friend, Geo. F. Yantis and Harry
l.. Parr. A large crowd Of men and
women attended the affair, which was
given at the Mitchell hotel, and Mr..
Bryan made short talk.
In his lecture that afternoon on
Foreign and Domestic Issues Mr..
Bryan, though championing the
League OF Nations plan. took excep-
tions to the special tripartite defens-
i've treaty proposed for France. Eng
land and the United States. In this
respect he took directly the opposite
view of Miss Tarbell, the other
League champion who ,recounting her
experiences at Paris during the peace
conference, pointed out that the
treaty was desired by France only
until the League becomes operative.
and cited the frequency OF German
invasions of that country to show the
reasons ny France sought the special
arrangement.
Both asserted that the League plan
offered brighter prospect OF preserv-
ing peace than the old diplomacy OF
intrigue and secret treaty; both as
serted that the nations or the world
look to the United States to lead the
way in the new era; and both agreed
that the United States would be
shirking its responsibilities like a
skulking coward" as Miss Tarbell
expressed it, if it did not adopt the
League plan.
Private Peat's lecture Thursday
evening, 1.-TWO Years in He'll and Back
With a Smile proved mighty inter
esting to the large crowd.

OLYMPIA INSTITUTION
SHOWING LARGE GROWTH
End of Thirteenth Year Marked by
Statement Showing
Increases.

Development of Olympia and the
tributary territory is indicated by
the growth shown in the annual
statement of the Olympia Building
& Loan Association, which is made
public in an advertisement in this
issue The increase in the assets OF
the association between July l. 1918,
and July l, 1919. was s6,384.0S.
One feature of the report which
would have been impossible a few
years ago is the holding OF Liberty
bonds valued at S34.650. The war
has made possible investment in
these eadily-convertible securities
which constitute valuable asset for
making absolutely safe an associa'
ton Of this type.
Another interesting feature of the
statement is the fund of school saw
ings. Accumulation of the young
,sters pennies has amounted to So
264.5l in the form of deposits in
this institution.
The directors of the association
which is 13 years old. are c. II

BRIDGE CHANCES DWINDLING.
West Fourth Street Viaduct May Not
BE Built This Year.

The chances of building the West
Fourth street bridge this year con-
tinue to dwindle as the state highway
department, the county commission
ers and the city council keep puzzling
away on one plan and another, trying
to devise some arrangement to build
it for the money available. $128,00O.
The probabilities now are that the
county will have to call for bids a
third time, Commissioner Sans said
Thursday, in view of counter prop
Qsition that has been received from
one of the contractors. In that event
work could not possibly be started be-
fore SeDtember 1st, it is said. even
II all difficulties were ironed out.

NO CLUES YET IN
MURDER MYSTERY
GET GOOD DE-
SCRIPTION OF SUSPECT-SEND
OUT CIRCULARS.

Circulars describing the murdered
woman whose body was found in a
grave on the Pitner ranch on Bush
Prairie last week, giving the detailed
description of her teeth made after
an examination by DR.. w. w. Miller,
and also containing a photo of the
only garment on the body, some un-
derwear bearing a peculiar laundry
mark, are being sent broadcast
through the Pacific coast states by
Sheriff j. H. Clifford, in an effort to
establish the identity of the woman.
The finding of this laundry mark,
Il p H." which is said to be an un-
usual marking, and receipt of let
ter from r. W.. Ellsworth of Tacoma
relating talk he and his family had
with the man who was in the machine
that stood alongside the highway the
day previous to the burning Of the
deserted house on the White farm,
constitute the only developments IN
the case this week.
From the Ellsworth letter the local
authorities got an excellent descrip-
tion Of the suspect and definitely set
tied the fact that the machine he had
was large Hudson touring car. This
description is included in the circular
Sheriff Clifford is sending to all Pa
cific Coast police officials.
According to Ellsworth the man
was about feet inches tall. slim
built. Weighing about 140 pounds,
with thin face. sallow and sun-burned,
full lips and noticeably light blue
eyes. He had light brown hair with
straight brows and wore soft mouse
colored Fedora hat and union suit Of
brown overalls with black shoes. He
walked with q snappy step and hts
accent was what his hearers consid-
cred unmistakably scandinavian
When the Ellsworth party stopped
in the evening at the houee which
burned during the night Ind near
which the woman's grave was found
month later, the stranger with the
mysterious automobile had rear
wheel lacked up and tire removed.
He told them he had the old house
for the night and directed them to =
fictitious camping place two miles
farther on. He also objected hrmly
to any of the party approaching his
machine, which was covered with
khaki colored top closely drawn.
There seemed to be something IN
the back seat" Ellsworth said. "but
couldn't make out wi ether it was a
person or camping outfit. 1t looked
more like a bundle OF clothes than
anything else. The man seemed anx-
ious that shouldn't go near his car
as he always kept between me
and it,"
This testimony is accepted as near
~ conclusive that the murder was
committed elsewhere than in the
vicinity OF Olympia and that the fugi-
tive murderer bore the coTpse with
him wrapped In camp outfit until he
came to the abandoned farm and
found waht he considered q better
opportunity to burn the clothing In
the old house than by attempting to
dispose of 1t an an open campfire.

OFFUT LAKE MILL BURNS.
Totally Destroyed by Fire Sunday
Loss Is $35, 900.

The mill owned by Sidney Burnett
near Offut lake. was burned Sunday.
with loss of about $4,000 The
mill was purchased about three
months ago by Mr.. Burnett, and had
been improved to cut about 10000
to 5000 feet daily. A few cars
loaded with lumber were also burned
with the mill. Mr.. Burnett had gone
to Seattle Saturday to visit relatives.
The mill probably will be rebuilt.
The local fire department was sent
to the fire, but the blaze had gained
such headway it was unable to
stop it.
