NEAR-EAST RELIEF
DRIVE BEING MADE
Circular Letters Will BE Sent to All
Citizens of Community in Effort
to Raise Quota of $500

Pullman is being asked to sub
scribe $500 for relief in the near
East before next Tuesday, and an
active drive to raise the quota is now
being conducted by the local com
mittee, of which Thos. Neill is chair
man. The committee hopes to raise
the full amount through the medium
of circular letters, sent to all citizens
of Pullman and community, and the
following letter will be addressed to
the people tomorrow
To Citizens of Pullman and Vicinity.
You are no doubt aware of the
fact that by massacre, deportation
and other methods of persecution
the Turks have attempted to annihil-
ate the non-Turkish population Of
Western Asia.
FOUR millions of people are now
starving and of these 100000 are
orphan children who will die if i'm
mediate relief is not given them.
No where in the worlds history
can a record Re found of such suffer
ing on so large a scale.
The near-East relief has been
chartered by congress, through which
the charity of the American people
may find a means of expressing itself
to the best advantage.
Ten dollars will feed, clothe and
shelter a family and S. will feed
family for one month.
A drive is now on throughout the
United States for funds for this
worthy cause, and the quota assigned
to Pullman and vicinity is $500,
which is the same quota that was
raised here for the Salvation Army.
With our prosperity we can not
afford as a community to be delin-
quent on this drive.
The local committee believes that
all that will be necessary to raise this
fund will be to call attention to the
need, and that personal solicitation
will be unnecessary.
If each will give the amount that
was given for the Salvation Army we
will go over the top.
We ask that you leave your sub
scriptions at either of the banks or
at any of the stores. before March
IS, or better still sign enclose check
and mail to Thos. NeiH, chairman.
Please attend to it today.

man close run for the honors.
The matter was discussed at a
meeting of the chamber of commerce
Tuesday and the secretary was in
structed to take the question up with
all the other commercial bodies of
the county, asking each to name a
committee of three to become mem
bers of county committee, to which
will be assigned the task of gather
ing full data on agricultural produc-
tion in 1919 to present to the federal
agents when the call is made. Ten
years ago, when Whitman county
was given fourth place. a number of
items which might have elevated her
position materially were omitted,
among these the milk production of
the county. Careful attention will
this year be paid to every item OF
agricultural production.

SEPTIC TANK CASES
HEARD At COLFAX
Tank to BE Cleaned i'm Manner Salts
factory to COmplainant-Dam
age Suit Continued

After Judge McCroskey had grant
ed the claimants a permanent in
junction restraining the city of Pull
man from continuing the cleaning of
the septic tank by emptying the con-
tents of the tank into the South Pa
louise river, j. X. Smawley, the COM
plainant in the case, through his at
torney, agreed that no objection
would be raised to continuing the
cleaning provided it was done under
the personal supervision of NJ. K.
Snyder.
Two cases were brought against
the city by Mr.. Smawley, the first
asking $4,000 damages on account of
the nuisance created by the tank
and the other asking permanent
order restraining the city from emp
tying the contents of the big tank
into the river. The two cases were
combined by mutual consent and
were taken into court at ColfaX lass
Thursday. Two witnesses had been
called, these being Professor NJ. K.
Snyder and State Health Officer
Anderson, when the court announced
that he was convinced that the per-
manent order should be issued and
declared his readiness to take those
steps without further testimony.
At this Buncture Thomas Neill,
attorney for Mr.. Smawley an
nounced that the claimant had no
objection to continuing the cleaning
provided it is done under competent
supervision and under proper condi-
tions, and an agreement to this eff
feet was reached with the court.
The case for $4,000 damages was
continued to give the city time to
determine on a plan for taking care
of the sewage without creating a
nuisance. The claimants announced
that the suit was not brought for
the purpose of forcing the city to
pay the $4,000, but to cause the city
to take steps toward remedying the
situation and that such action by
the city would satisfy their claims
It may be necessary for the city
to properly remedy the situation and
remove the nuisance, to enlarge the
tank and put in a system OF filters
This plan is being followed at Mos
cow. where a similar objection was
raised by property owners ana
which, according to sanitary experts
would prove satisfactory.
The first round in the legal battle
resulted in a distinct victory for Mr.
Smawley and it is believed that the
matter can now be satisfactorily set
tied without further civil action.

Charged with assault with intent
to kill and with resisting an officer,
William Lewis, colored porter at the
Palace hotel, was taken to Colfax
Tuesday afternoon by county officers
and lodged in the county Jail. Lewis
ran amuck at the hotel Monday night
| and it took the police department
and squad of citizens to shackle
him and land him in the city jail, the
casualties being a severely bitten
| finger on the hand of the chief of
police and a bruised arm, sustained
! by a lady guest of the hotel when
/ Lewis heaved a heavy cuspidor dur
ing his frenzy
Lewis had been to Spokane and
was either crazed with liquor or
suffering the delusions accompany
ing an overdose of hop" He had
retired but arose again and, donning
his bathrobe, went into the hallway,
where he accosted a chambermaid,
who was just returning from the
movie show, and addressed insulting
remarks to her. The young lady's
scathing rebuke aroused his ire and
he started after her. Grabbing
large cuspidor he is alleged to have
threatened to kill her, and chased

took refuge in an upstairs room
and locked the door against the
negro Landlord Dawson called for
help, Fred Schermeyer and a num-
Der of others responding Chief of
Police Sargent soon appeared on the
scene and the battle to subdue the
drink crazed negro was on in earnest.
Waving a loaded cane and threat
ening dire disaster to anyone who
approached, Lewis held the entire
squad at bay for a time, and defied
the police chief to shoot him.
The negro was subdued only after
he had severely bitten a finger on
the hand of Chief of Police Sargent
and had hurled a cuspidor which
struck the wall and, rebounding,
struck a guest of the hotel on the
arm Lewis fought with the frenzy
of maniac and had he been pos
sessed of a dangerous weapon I'M
doubtedly would have caused blood

The negro was placed in the city
Jail to recover from his fighting
Jag and the charges of assault with
intent to kill and resisting an officer
were placed against him following
conference between Chief of Police
Sargent and the county sheriff Tues

negro because of his attack on the
young lady is high and it is expected
that o stiff sentence will be melted
