 Mir. Oliver, furthermore, while admit ting the inflammstory state of the public mind regarding taxation, expressed the belief that the people should be appraised of the advantages to be gained from re- duced transportation costs, and permitted to act in accordance with their own judg- ment. With this view, representative Steagall expressed agreement and added that the question of transportation was the most important before the people Of all the states today.
 Representative McDuffie of the First district gave the delegation information regarding the successful operation of the public owned docks at New Orleans. Immediately after his opening presenta- tion of the case, the argument veered to politics in Alabama, and the present controversy between the governor and the tax league. In this argument, consider able doubt was expressed that the gov ernor would call the legislature together.

POPE APPEALS ID ' BRITISH AND IRISH
 ID HALT VIOLENCE
Pontiff Proposes That Irish Question Be Settled By Body
 Selected By Whole Irish N Nation
By Associated Press

Dundalk, Ireland, May 2l.-Pope Bene- dict has written to Cardinal Logue, pri- mate of Ireland, appealing to both the English and Irish to abandon violence and proposing that the Irish question be settled by a body selected by the whole Irish nation.
 The pontiff sent Cardinal Logue 2,ooo,- 0oo lire for the Irish White Cross. The text of the pope's communication to Cardinal Logue reads;
 While we are filled with anxiety in re- gard to all nations, We are most espe- cially concerned about conditions in Ire land She is subjected today to the ln- dignity of devastation and slaughter. There is assuredly no doubt that harsh and cruel occurrences of this kind are in great part attributable to the recent war. for neither has sufficient consideration been given to the desires of nations nor have the fruits of peace, which peoples promised themselves, been reaped. In the public strife which is taking place in your country it is deliberate counsel of the Holy See, a counsel consistently acted upon up to the present in similar circumstances, to take sides with neither of the contending parties.
 l CAN PROFIT NEITHER
  prevents us from wishing and desiring, nor even from praying and beseeching the contending parties, that the frenzy of strife may as soon as possible sub- side and lasting peace and sincere union of hearts take the place of this terrible enmity. For, indeed, we do not perceive how this bitter strife can profit either of the parties when property and homes are being ruthlessly and dis gracefully laid waste. when villages ana farmsteads are being set aflame when neither sacred places nor sacred persons are spared, and when on both sloes war resulting in the death of unarmec people and even of women and children is being carried on.
 Mindful therefore of our apostolic of- flee and moved by charity which enn- braces all men, we exhort the English as well as the Irish to calmly consider whether the time has not arrived 10 abandon violence and reason on some means of mutual agreement. For thls end we think it would be- opportune II effect were given the plan, recently sug- 'pested by distinguished men as well as distinguished politicians, that the aues- ton at issue should be referred for dis cusson to some body of men selected by the whole Irish nation.
 When this conference has published it's findings let the more influential among s(both parties meet together, ana, haVins isput forward and discussed the views ana conclusions arrived at let them deter n,ne by common consent on some means of settling the question in sincere spirie and peace and reconciliation.

INGLESIDE CLUB ASKS
FOR MILK ORDINANCE

At the city council meeting Tues
day evening committee composed
OF Mrs. E. H. Steffen, Mrs. A. H.
Meyer and Mrs. f. G. Woodward.
representing the Ingleside club of
Pullman, presented a petition signed
by approximately 400 citizens of
Pullman, asking for the passage of
milk ordinance.
A suggested ordinance was read
which provided for the testing for
tuberculosis of all cows supplying
milk to Pullman and for regular in
spection of milk delivered in the
city, as to bacterial content, sedi.
ment, percentage of fat, etc, with
the further provision that the aver
age result of these tests be published
in the city paper monthly.
The committee called attention to
the fact that not only were the citi-
zens almost without exception anx-
ious to sign the petition, but many
also expressed desire to do more to
secure a clean and wholesome milk
supply.
The ordinance was endorsed by
some of the leading dairymen of
Pullman, including DR.. L. G. Thayer
and also Fred S. Martin, who has re-
Gently started a dairy business in
Pullman and who was present at the

tition.

nance were referred to the committee

the understanding that some definite
action will be taken at the next meet
ing.

THE NAVY STEAM ROLLER

The Navy Department will make
no compromise with the sincere
FOOLS who are talking disarmament.
When the Colorado, our newest
$4,000 ton dreadnaught, slid into
the water recently at Camden, AS
sistant Secretary Theodore Roosevelt
voiced his view of disarmament adj
vocates thus: Some of these people
are perfectly sincere pacifists, some
of them are perfectly sincere fools,
and, incidentally, they are the same
thing Next day President Hard
ing told delegation of Philadelphia
Quakers that the United States
could not make naval reductions
without the cooperation iof other
powers.
These are no words without deeds.
After session of the council of the
secretary of the navy on March 16,
Secretary DENLY announced that the
department would ask congress to
adopt the naval appropriation bill
as amended by the senate committee
and killed by Senators Borah and
King. What this means the country
does not realize. The senate bill
adds 800. 100000 to the $396,0OO,-
600 carried by the house bill. It
provides for 10000 men instead of
100000. 1t carries $90,000,000 for
the continuation Of the 1916 pro-
gram and adds to it two airplane
each. 1t makes the initial appropria-
tions for great naval developments
in the Pacific, notably a new naval
base at Alameda, which will cost
500, 100000 by the time it is done.
Senator King declares that it will
require billion to complete the
1916 program and another half bill
lion for the necessary yards and
docks. His estimate for annual
maintenance is at least $500,0O0,0OO
There is a sharp intimation that
the navy is to be concentrated in the
Pacific. Not only does this mean
further expense; it is a definite
threat to Japan. Naval officers are
talking in their usual mischievous
way of war with that country within
three years.
Nothing but congress stands be-
tween the people and the proposed
orgy of spending which will surely
eliminate in war, Imperialistic
business drives the navy steam roller
steadily forward. Only a great pop
ular movement can reverse the ma
chine, There are signs of such a
movement

A NOTABLE VICTORY

While F. A. Garrecht of Spokane
has won many notable court victories
during his term as United States dis
trict attorney, probably none of them
will afford him as much lasting sat
isfaction as his success in bringing
about the restoration to the Yakima
Indians of the right of using their
old time fishing grounds. Mr.. Gar
recht satisfied himself that the right
of the Indians to take fish for food
from certain streams of the state had
been guaranteed by the treaty negoti-
ated with them during territorial
days by Governor Stevens.
Being convinced that the redskins
had been unjustly deprived of their
rights in violation of this treaty,
he started a vigorous fight in the
courts to prove that the white men
did not speak with a forked
tongue" as claimed by one of the
Indian chiefs at the time the treaty
was being negotiated. With the zeal
of crusader he threw himself heart
and soul into the effort to right the
wrong which he believed to be a stig-
ma upon the honor of the white race.
With all his ability and with untiring
persistency he pressed the case in the
courts, and when his efforts were
baked by law on the statute books
of this state, he took the matter be-
fore the legislature and succeeded in
securing the passage of a bill restor-
ing their fishing rights to the Yaki-
mas.
Despite the fact that the bill
passed both houses at the recent ses-
sion with overwhelming majorities,
1t was vetoed by Governor Hart. But
so ably had Mr.. Garrecht pleaded the
case of the Indians. that the bill was
passed over the veto. the only meas
nre which withstood the governors
