TO DELAY PRICE CASE.
Grocers' Injunction Suit Not to Come
Up Monday, Dornn Asserts.

The injunction suit filed by Topeka
grocers against the county fair price
committee will not come up for hear
ing Monday in the United States dis
trict court at Kansas City. according
to T. +. Doran, attorney for the gro
GERS, who returned from Kansas City
late today. Doran said he had talked
with Fred Robertson, who will handle
the defense, and that the United
States district attorney and the court
wanted the hearing held over a few
days. Monday is opening day of the
court session and Judge Pollock will
be busy selecting the grand jury and
attending to other court matters.
Doran expressed his confidence in
the favorable outcome of the hearing.
He said it was his contention that the
fair price committee had overstepped
its authority in declaring the prices
fixed by them as mandatory upon the
grocers.

TO CHANGE METHODS OF
FARM EXTENSION SCHOOL
In Future Instructors from the State
College will Come Singly In
stead of in Bunch

That the farmers school held here
last week was the last Of its kind, is
the information given out by County
Agent Lee M. Lampson. According
to Mr.. Lampson, the county agents Of
the state are unanimous in the opin-
ion that this form of school is not the
most effective method of carrying on
the work of the extension department
of the State College, and they have
succeeded in carrying their point with
the officials of the department.
In the future the extension workers
will come into the county singly in
stead of in bunch. For instance,
the horticulturalist will come and
there will be arranged for him a Sc
ries of meetings at which the entire
time will be devoted to orchard prob
lens. At another time the soil ex-
pert will come, then the home econom-
les lady will come and so on thru the
list.
The criticism Of the old method has
been that just when the audience be-
came interested in some one subject
it was necessary to call halt on dis
cussions and take up some other prob
lem.

l46TH GUNS COMING
TO WALLA WALLA
New Washington Artillery Will
Get Four Famous Pieces
Used in France.

Boys of the 146th Field Artillery
will soon be able to renew acquain-
tances with their old friends,
blanche" Jennie" Cleopatra" and
"Lily." No, no, this is not quartet
of French Madamoiselles but four
famous guns which the 146th operat-
ed against the enemy in France.
Thru the efforts of Representative
Summers these guns are now on their
way to Walla Walla where they will
be the training pieces for Battery A,
new motorized company of the Wash
ington National guard, commanded by
Bruce Whitney who was formerly
with the 146th.
The war department last week mott
fled Congressman Summers that the
guns had finally been located at the
arsenal at Aberdeen, Maryland and
that they would be shipped west just
as soon as word comes that adequate
shelter. for them has been provided.
These guns will be valuable acces-
sions to the new Walla 'Walla COM
pany and probably somewhat of a
curiosity at this time in any part Of
the United States. Their entire equip
ment has value of 100000, because
each gun is mounted on huge trac-
tor.
So valuable are they that the war
department will dispatch a repres-
entative with them to see that none of
the brass parts are removed by junk
dealers or relic seekers. The big
weapons are of French make, being
known as French 155s, and according
to regimental citations they had much
to do with winning the war.
These citations say that the 146th,
together with the 148th, fired more
ammunition at the enemy than any
other American artillery of similar
type in !. France, which means these
guns were kept busy for some time.

EDITOR OF
THE ADVOCATE .
DROPS DEAD
III. L. HaineS of Richland Falls i'm
Death SwOOn when Return
ing from Postoffice
WAS POPULAR WITH READERS
Had Devoted Many Years to News
paper Business-Came to Rich
land from Oregon

H. t. Haines, editor and publisher
of the Richland Advocate, dropped
dead on the street short distance
from his office about 9 o'clock this
morning. .
Mr.. Haines had been to the postof-
flee for the morning mail and was re-
turning to his office when he sudden
ly toppled over. Sam Ross and Mr..
Neal, who saw him fall, picked him
up and carried him into the Richland
hotel. DR.. C. ID. Hopper, of this city,
who was summoned and was in Rich
land within half an hour, said the ed
itor's desth had evidently been in
stantaneous.
Mr.. Haines came to Richland from
Oregon about a year ago and pur-
chased the Advocate Of Perry Will
oughby. Since that time he has ap-
piled himself diligently to producing
a newspaper that was truly repre-
sentative of his community. He was
quiet, unassuming, pleasant man. He
made friends rapidly and during his
short residence there had become very
popular with the Richland people.
Mr.. Haines' death was due to heart
failure, one attack o., which he suf-
fered before coming to Richland.
Since coming to Richland, he has been
in apparently good health.
+ 1t is impossible at this time to as
certain any Of the details Of his for
mer life. He was probably about six
ty years of age and had followed the
newspaper business for many years.
He leaves a wife, but no children.
Funeral arrangements have not been
made at this time. "a
Altho its editor has passed away,
the Advocate will go out to its read
ers as usual this week. Most of the
type, set up from Mr.. Haines' copy,
was sent up from this Office this morn
ing, and within an hour after the ed
itor's death, Perry Willoughby, for
mer owner of the Advocate, and r. d.
Sawyer, were busy getting the forms
ready for the press.

ty of criminal syndicalism Tuesday

Record.
The trial took up all of two days
and was hard fought from start tc
finish: 1t took practically all day Of
Monday to secure a jury and night
session was held Monday night con-
tinuing over until Tuesday, the case
going to the jury at 5:15 on the lat.
ter day. The jury returned its ver-
dict at $40.
The prosecution completed its tes-
timony at noon Tuesday and Alexan-
der Mackel, attorney for the defend
ants, asked a continuance for five days
to secure witnesses to refute the state
testimony. This was refused by Judge
Truax, and Mr.. Mackel stated that
there would be no defense as it was
impossible for him to get witnesses
inside the time asked.
The attorneys began their pleas
when court convened for the after
noon session. Prosecuting Attorney
Hamilton confined himself mostly to
the reading of excerpts from the tes-
timony and I. w. w. literature, and
Attorney Mackel made a strong and
impassioned plea for the accused men,
contending that the mere fact that
they carried an ]. w. w. card was not
sufficient grounds for conviction. At
torney Andrew Brown in his, argument
stated that he was not there to rail-
road the defendants to the penitenti-
ary, but to help enforce the laws of
the state, and most vividly portrayed
the things countenanced and advocat-
ed by the /. w. w. His appeal for
the protection of the sancity Of the
home and the upholding Of the laws
of the country was masterpiece of
eloquence and few who heard it re-
mained unmoved.
1t is thought by many who attend
ed the trial that the reading of tie
/. w. w. literature and its presenta-
tion as evidence had much to do with
the conviction. The men will prob
ably be sentenced next Wednesday,
and in all probability the case will be
appealed.

NONSTOP BONE
Is IJNEARTHED
in SAND BANK
interesting Fossil is Found Fifty
Feet Under Ground Near
Richland.
LOOKS LIKE GREAT. RIB
IS. Murray Who Found it Believes
II is From Skeleton of Giant
Marine Creature

A bone, thought to be part of the
rib of some prehistoric sea monster
was unearthed yesterday down deep
in a sand bank about five miles north
west of Richland on the works of the
Horn Rapids irrigation canal. The
niece of bone is between three and
four feet in length, six or eight inches
across, slightly curved and cup shap-
ed at one end.
The relic was unearthed by A. s.
Murray who has contract for replac-
ing the big irrigation canal which
skirts a high bank near the Poot place.
Mr.. Murray was excavating about SO
feet under the surface and about the
same distance back in the bank when
he uncovered the bone. When expos
ed to the air the bone became very
brittle and was broken but the pieces
were carefully gathered up and will
be sent to the Smithsonian institute.
At present parts of the bone are
displayed in the window of the Rich
land Advocate and the Richland hard
ware.
Mr.. Murray says the formation
where he is working shows many
evidences of once being the bottom of
lake or inland sea and he is of the
opinion that the bone will be classifi-
ed as belonging to the skeleton of
some marine animal which made his
home here some time before the COM
Ing Of the jack rabbit.
Whether the fossil has any geolog-
ical connection with the gas wells up
on the Rattlesnake slopes or the oil
seepages in the lower end of the val
ley is not known. The discovery, how
ever would seem to bear out the
theory that this section of the count
ry was once an inland sea and that
the oil which is thought to underly
the Rattlesnakes gas field is what is
left Of all the whales and fishes
which were cooked when the hot lava
poured in and dried up the sea. At any
rate the classification of the fossil
VII be eagerly awaited alike by
biologists and laymen.
