theaters and on two occasions had
left hip to go in a chorus. Al one
time she worked in a department
store, he said.
Bergen county detectives this morn
ing came to New York to, search for
a man against whom suspicion Is said
to have been directed by the story
of the dead woman's husband.
The scene of the murder, which
lies in a fairly well populated section
Of Grantwood. part of the munich
pality of Cliffside. is scarcely the place
a slayer would pick out for his crime
If he had given 1t much thought.
Not more than 100 feet oistanr IS
row OF occupied dwellings. and
while the spot where the body was
found Is screened by a thick growth
of brush and scrub trees. entrance
and escape could be made only by
passing several houses along lighted
streets. Palisades avenue, a popular
motor highway, is but fifty feet from
the spot.
Police Lieut.. Frank Borrell, OF
Cliffsde, was in charge OF the first
investigation at the scene Of the
murder. He found the grass and
brush trampled as though the woman
had fought her assailant over several
square yards The soil is strewn
with rocks, but the police did not
find any stone which bore marks OF
having been used as a weapon. Two
of the woman's front teeth were miss
ing. as though from a blow.
HAD TERRIFIC STRUGGLE.
signs of terrific struggle were
upon every hand. Leaves and twigs
from low-hanging trees had been
stripped off, the ground was torn. and
bve feet from the body a mans watch
chain, evidently torn from the lapel
Of his coat, was found. The small
ring which fastens the chain TO the
watch was unbroken, and the police
are unable to explain how the watch
became unclasped. One theory was
advanced that the man had no watch
and wore the chain merely as an
ornament.
In view OF the undoubted struggle,
during which the woman. according
to theory. had chances to scream. IT
is considered strange that netghbor-
ing families slept peacefully while a
tragedy was being enacted almost at
their doorsteps. No one in the
neighborhood could be found who
recalled the slightest disturbance dur
ing the last few days.

Totals Reach 1858 on Last Day for
AffiXing Signatures-More Than
Two Years Ago-Less Than
in 1915
Pullman's Registration

When the registration books in
the office of City Clerk Matilda F.
Cannon closed Monday evening 1858
Pullman citizens had qualified by
registration for the general national,
state and county election of Novem-
Der 2. During the last three days
of the registration period 1877 voters
affixed their signatures to the books,
the result of a registration campaign
conducted by the publicity commit
tee of the chamber of commerce, OF
which superintendent Charles Henry
is chairman. The campaign was car
ried on through the children of the
public schools, who were asked to
urge their parents to register and
also to assist in the campaign
for full registration of voters.
Signs calling attention to the clos
ing of the books on October II were
printed and distributed throughout
the city the result of the campaign
being a rush of voters to the clerk 5
office during the last three days.
The registration list this year
compares favorably with that of two
years ago, when the total was 1868,
but is nearly 200 short of the rec
ord registration of 1915, when 1440
Pullman citizens qualified for the
general election. Reason for this
decrease is found in the fact that
at the present time many of Pull
mans citizens are not qualified for
| registration, having moved to the
city only a short time ago.

ORCHESTRA
DELIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE

The music lovers of Pullman,
who packed the college auditorium
to capacity Thursday evening of last
week to hear the Minneapolis SYM
phony orchestra, were unanimous in
rendering the verdict, "A difficult
program splendidly rendered, fully
worth more than the price of admis
sion" Every number on the pro-
gram was enthusiastically applaud
ed and it was difficult to determine
which one pleased the audience
most.
The orchestra is well balanced,
and the members keep such perfect
time that the tones from the numer
Gus instruments blend so perfectly
as to give the effect of being pro-
duced by one player on one instru-
ment.
But much as the audience appreci-
ated the orchestral program, they ap-
parently enjoyed the vocal solos by
Florence Macbeth even more. Each
of her two brilliantly rendered Sc
lections was enthusiastically en-
cored, and the profound silence
which prevailed for several moments
after the last notes of the sweet old
ballad, Annie Laurie" had drifted
from her lips was the highest tribute
which could have been paid to her,
and proved how deeply she had
touched the hearts as well as de-
lighted the ears of her hearers. She
| has a remarkably sweet voice and
takes each note with an ease and
precision which betokens the true
artist.

Ten Weeks Night Course for
Pullman Men

Evening classes in business
courses, designed to be of benefit to
the bushes men of Pullman, will be

BOB BRIDGES PLEDGES
SUPPORT TO COLLEGE
If Elected viii Oppose Any Legisla-
ton Aimed to CirCumscribe the
Scope of It's Work as Now
Fixed by Law

Robert Bridges, candidate for gov
ernor on the farmer-labor ticket, ad-
dressed a fair sized audience at the
chamber of commerce hall Saturday
evening. He confined his remarks
to vigorous criticism of the increas-
ing tax rate in this state and ridiculed
the claim that Hart has made good ;"
lie asserted that one plea of the
railroads in asking for authority to
increase freight and passenger rates
was that their assessed valuation
was being raised and demanded why
1t was that, while the value OF farms
and other property had been in
creased for assessment purposes, the
railroad valuation had been left un-
changed in this state.
He charged that the legislature
is virtually controlled by the five
members of the committee on rules,
who have the absolute power to de-
termine what bills shall be placed
on the calendar for consideration
and asserted that these five men
have each session represented the
fish interests, the lumber interests,
the banking interests, the rail-
roads and the big light and
power companies. As a result the
state government is not functioning
for the benefit of the people,
He urged his hearers to vote
against the Carlyon road bill and
for the soldiers bonus bill and to
use their common sense in judging
men and measures, and not to be-
lieye all the stories they read in the
newspapers, because some people are
so conservative that they denounce
any new idea as being radical, re-
CARELESS of its merits. He cited sew
eral policies which are being called
radical but which are really common
sense business propositions.
Sunday morning President Hol-
land escorted Mr.. Bridges over the
college campus and before leaving
for Lewiston, Idaho, the gubernator-
ial candidate gave a representative
of The Herald the following signed
statement:
"If / am elected governor, one of
my first acts will be to request the
faculties of the State College, the
State University and the other insti-
buttons of higher learning, as well
as the organized educators of the
common schools, to appoint repre-
sentatives to meet with and advise
me as to their needs. The program
upon which we agree will be incor-
porated in my message to the state
! legislature.
Under my administration no one
educational institution will be ex-
allied at the expense Of another. My
policy will be to see that each func-

EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN
TO COMBAT MENACE
Dean w. {. Hicks Speaks to Cham
Der of Commerce on Industrial
Conditions in State of
Washington

A campaign of education, includ-
ing the instruction of every fireside
on what the constitutional govern
ment really is and what it stands for,
and the pointing out of the blessings
that accompany it, was the cure
mapped out by Dean w. G.. Hicks of
Spokane for the industrial unrest
with which the state of Washington
is now confronted. Dean Hicks ad-
dressed the chamber of commerce at
its Tuesday noon luncheon, dealing
with the present situation from a
purely social standpoint, and stating
that he neither represents nor sue
cors any political organization in the
tour which he is making in the in
terests of the constitutional govern
ment.
The nonpartizan league, he
claimed, would socialize industry
and lands, and their socialistic prop
uganda is gaining converts by scores
and hundreds Dean Hicks stated
that he can point out three towns in
SnOhOmish county where a person
would not dare to attempt to teach
patriotism or unfurl the American
flag. The red menace" he said,
has gained such strength in the state
that it behooves every citizen to sit
up and take notice, and immediate
and concerted steps to combat it
must be taken at once
He pointed to the influence which
the present industrial situation has
on capital. and cited case in which
a city attorney for small town in
this state visited an eastern city in
an effort to sell city bonds to cap
italists who had always purchased
the bonds Of the town The attorney
was turned down with the curt re-
mark that no more of the concern 8
capital would go to the state of
Washington until the state is cleaned
up The Seattle shipyards, he said,
are being dismantled, some Of them
for removal TO the Atlantic Coast,
just because capital will not consider
the state of Washington under the
present industrial conditions. Cap
ital, he contended, is not safe here.
Dean Hicks told of a trip which he
made recently to the east and middle
west to study at close hand the labor
conditions there for comparison with
like conditions in this state. He
found, he claimed, the greatest
peace, contentment and happiness in
those factories and shops where or
ganized labor has no place. There
is no disputing the fact, he contend
ed, that the organizations which are
causing the alleged industrial dis
ruption are founded on real griev-
ances. but the proposed cures would
bring about a condition far worse
than that from which the original
grievances arose.
