.READ THAT, Mr.. COX"
AND Mr.. cox DID READ

A little incident connected with can
didate Cox's recent campaign visit
to New York indicates that the Demo
cratic nom,ee Is striving to forget
certain indiscreet editorials which ap-
peared In his newspaper. the Dayton
News, before the owner Of the paper
aspired to the Presidency.
As the Democratic nominee was
leaving the Hotel Commodore after
luncheon a commercial traveller forced
his way through the throng Of curious
spectators and thrust into Mr.. Cox's
hand an editorial clipping which prov
ed to be his denunciation Of the
commercial travellers Of the United
States. Read that. Mr.. Cox" com
manded the travelling man. The Demo
cratic candidate unfolded the frayed
column Of newspaper matter. glanced
Ut the heading, scanned the first para
graph, flushed scarlet TO the ears and
crumpling the offensive and offending
editorial In his nst mumbled some
thing which none Of those near him at
the time would repeat and hurried to
his waiting automobile.

VOCATIONAL STUDENT
CHARGED, LARCENY
William Burns Alleged to Have Pill
fered Numerous AfticleS-IS Con-
demned by Vocational
Club Men

William Burns, an ex-soldier en-
rolled in the department of element
AIRY science of the State College, from
Tacoma, was taken to COlfaX by
deputies from the sheriff's office
Tuesday to answer to a charge OF
larceny. Burns had been under
suspicion for some time and a few
days ago went to Spokane. While
he was gone his room was searched
under a search warrant and numer-
Gus articles alleged to have been
stolen by him were found. He was
arrested as he stepped from the train
returning from Spokane and taken
at once to COlfax. 1t is alleged that
the thefts cover a period of several
months and include everything that
the man could lay his hands on. The
discovery of the alleged culprit was
due largely to the assistance given
police officials by the members OF
the vocational club of the college,
who insist that justice be melted out.
1t is claimed that Burns on at least
one occasion went to the country
and solicited apples from the farm
ers under the pretense that they
were for the vocational club, then
sold them and turned the money to
his own use. He roomed at a private
residence on B street. and in his
trunk were found alleged stolen arti-
Giles of every kind and description,
He was employed at times in the col
lege greenhouse.

act as general manager of the fac
tory and Mr.. Dutton will continue to
give his close personal attention to
the business.
buttons candies already have a
wide reputation and there is no
doubt that there will be IA strong de-
mand for the products of his factory,
The business is likely to increase to
such an extent that the industry will
become an important one and add
materially 10 Pullman S pay roll. Mr..
Dutton will start with 30 employees,
but will add to the force as the bust
ness increases.

DIES FROM INJURIES
RECEIVED IN FOOTBALL
Virgil Ellwart, Pullman High Guard,
SuccumbS to Infection at ColfaX
Hospital-Funeral Held
Wednesday

Virgil Ellwart, aged II years and
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John ELL
wart of this city, succumbed at the
Colfax hospital Monday, death being
due to blood poisoning, caused by
an infection originating in an abrais-
ion on his leg, received in a football
game here November 10.
The infection was not at first con-
sidered serious, but spread to every
part OF his system, 40 boils forming
on his body at one time. The young
man was born at st. John, in tho
western part of Whitman county.
June 6, 1902, and resided there un-
til two years ago, when the family
removed to Pullman to take advant-
age of the educational advantages
offered here He was a member of
the junior class and took a prom
inent part in all high school actiy-
tiles. He played the right guard po-
sition on the high school football
team and was one of the best play
ers on the squad during the past
season. The injury was received in
the high school-W. S. C. prep game
Funeral services were held from
the Bruning chapel in Colfax on
Wednesday afternoon and were
largely attended by friends from ST.
John, Colfax, Pullman and otheA
points in the county. The entire
junior class of the local high school,
in fact practically the entire high
school, went to COlfax to pay their
respects to the memory of their de
parted schoolmate The members
OF the football team attended the
services in a body, as did also the
Colfax high school team The pail
bearers were teammates from the
Pullman squad The floral offerings
were profuse and beautiful.
Deceased was one of the leaders
at Pullman high, a young man Of
the highest type, strong, courageous
and noble of purpose, an eXen lar
of all that was fair and honest al
athletics as in everyday life, and an
opponent of all that was unfair or
dishonest. His loss to the high
school VIII be keenly felt and his
memory will live long in the hearrs
of his schoolmates.
The young man is survived by his
parents. Mr.. and Mis-. John Ellwart
and by one brot.or, Arnold, guard
on the State College football team.
The family desires to express its
appreciation of the deep sympathy
displayed by the entire high schco,
IN their sorrow Through the per-
iod OF the young mans illness and
at the time of his death The students
and faculty members extended every
assistance it was possible to give
and their sympathy came froll
hearts torn with sorrow.

pire Hardware he made a small pur-
chase, it is said, and gave a check

chance and drove to Pullman and
picked the young man up and in
