START TO BUILD
new COURT HOUSE
THIS YEAR
SUCH is DETERMINATION OF
CHELAN COUNTY OFFICIALS.
SUFFICIENT FUNDS ON HANE
TO START WORK.

World: Recent developments have
led the various county officials to 4
determination that work should be
started this year on a new courl
house. Many different reasons have
contributed to the decision that this
is an opportune time to launch the
project.
Records in Danger.
First, the increasing amount of
business being conducted by the coun-
ty, is constantly making the present
building more crowded and more un-
safe. Many valuable records which
could not be replaced in case of fir.
ere being stored in the basement with
out any protection from a confagra-
tion.
Cost if Lower.
Second: It is stated by architects
and contractors that the cost of build
ing is now probably down as low as I
will be for several years. Tentative
plans for court house were drawn
up two years ago, the estimated cost
being S325,000 1t is believed that
this building could be built for about
100000 less today
Financing Easier.
Third: There will be to the credit
of the building fund the sum of $685.
600 when last years taxes are collect
ed. 1t is proposed to have plans pre-
pared, let contracts, and start the
work of construction this year, with
tn idea of finishing next year The
balance necessary to finish the build
ing could be raised by levy of from
three to five mills next year. In this
way the court house would be built
and paid for without any bond issue,
or without being a burden to the tax
payers.
Old Building Unsafe.
Fourth: The fact that the present
court house is unsafe. was proven
during the recent term of court, when
the weight of the crowd of spectators
caused the floors to sag, and the
plaster to crack in the rooms below
II was impossible to close some of the
doors in the lower offices and the
floor of the jury room has sagged out
of line to such an extent that some Of
the jurors feared that it was going to
give way during some of their siren
uous discussions.
It was the sagging floor and the
danger of a collapse that led Super
ior Judge Grimshaw to order all spec
tators excluded from the halls and
stairways of the court house during
the recent Briggs trial Spectators
We're not excluded from the court
room as reported, as trials of this nj :
ture are open to the public.
Time Now Ripe.
The above is the opinion shared b.
practically all of the county officials
who believe that the present year is
the most economical and the most op-
perfume time to commence the con-
struction Of a new house. Il is prop
able that some definite action will be
taken in this direction during the
coming month.

MOVIE MEN TRYING
T0END DIFFICULTY
Thrasbina Out Of Cohen
Walker Controversy Before
Session Today.

A thrashing out Of the Cohen Walker
controversy, which prectpitated clash
at the opening session of the third ma
ticnal convention Of Motion Picture
Theater Owners of America yesterday,
will. in all probability, consume the en-
tire time of the secondary meeting at
the Hotel Washington today. State
Senator James H. Walker Of New York,
recently deposed general counsel of the
organization, who was invited by Ma
tional President Sydney 8. Cohen yes
terday to appear before the body. will
! relate in detail his connection with the
NJ. p. T. o. A., and what he considers
leaders,"
Both Have Factions.
Both leaders of the contending
factions have their followers and
rumors flew thick and fast in the
different hotel lobbies all morning
as to what would be the outcome
of the controversy.
for Senator Walkers dismissal that
| such action was taken purely for
expediency. 1t being pointed out that.
owing to the New Workers. close af-
fliation with Tammany Hall, and
his inability to secure proper legis-
lation at Albany for the motion pic
ture theater interests, it twas for
the, general good of the owners that
his services be dispensed with.
The friends of the legislator. on the
other hand, denounce the method In
which his removal was brought about,
and claim that he has done as much.
If not more, than any one individual
in the interests of the organization.
Senator Walkers side of the story
will be received with much interest
by all concerned.
Correspondence Ii Read.
1t was following the reading of his
annual report at yesterdays session
that President Cohen sprung sur
prise by bringing the matter before
the convention. He charged that as a
result of the differences of opinion
between himself and certain other
toned, his character assailed and that
the purpose of this was ito break the
organization by first discrediting its
president" :
much criticism in his report. it being
claimed by him that poor pictures
Mr.. Cohen declared that film rent
ais were too high, and spoke at
length aYa on remedies dies suggested to re.
treatment Of the music trust"
He suggested that the owners es-
tablish a bureau and printing estab-
lishment, and provide a clearing
house" for musical compositions
Large crowds visited the Coliseum,
Sth street and Market place, all day
yesterday, where fifty exhibits of
the motion picture industry are on
display.
Admission to the building may be
had from 1 o'clock in the afternoon
until IL at night. Exhibitions will
be held today, tomorrow. Thursday

BOOKSELLERS CONVENE.

The twenty-second annual conven-
ton Of the American Booksellers AS
sociation. opened in the Washington
Hotel yesterday for a three day ses-
sion, with an address Of welcome by
A. E. Seymour, secretary of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce.
Eugene l.. Herr, president Of the
association. in an address said that
it seemed to him that we are now
passing through a period analogous
to that which succeeded the civil
war and that a lesson should be taken
from the book of experience" and
prevent the book trade from falling
as 1t did during the eighties and
nineties. He added that bookselling
had weathered the storm of depres-
sion in the last few years as we'll as
any sellers. and in conclusion said
that the slogan "fewer and better
books" should again be reiterated,
saying that the public today is not
looking for cheap goods. but is weigh
ing and considering carefully the value
which is offered for its money.
Various phases OF the bookselling
business were discussed.
The association visited the Congress
sional Library yesterday evening The
convention will conclude Thursday
evening with banquet.
