Phelan Appeals
 To Legionnaires
Convention Chairman Urges Men of COyle Post to
 Work Hard on Ambitious Program Ahead

Ellis r. Phelan, newly elected chaplain of Corporal Frank Coyle Post, and chairman of the state convention to meet here next sum- mer, has addressed the following appeal to Waterbury Legionnaires. He asks their cooperation in the work that lies ahead of the post. The appeal:
 Greetings to the members of the post who voted at the recent elec- ton and thanks for your trustful optimism in electing me post chaplain. So much for the intro- duction.
 It was a great election and a warm one. It made all of us feel that the Legion n$Waterbury Is a live outfit. It showed us several things, among them that time has healed and softened down past real and fancied differences of opinion that the members are now will ling and ready to give and take loke good sports-that above all the Legion itself is too big, too vital, too important an agency for the promotion of things that are worth while in this or any com- munity to be long hindered by lit tleness of any variety.
 We were all impressed with the responsibility that rests on us as ex-service men, and many, like my self, felt that we should be some what ashamed of the small part we have played in the fine work that Corporal Coyle Post has been carrying on right along.
 There is not time to go into de- tails or present alibis-the past is behind us and stays there whether we like it or not-but at least those to whom this letter is sent came to the recent meeting (and Pm told 1t was one of the largest annual meetings held).
 Those who had matters on their chests got up and talked--others were content to listen, and we all went home feeling that something worth while had happened or was about to happen-that the post had entered new era of its his- tory-and we elected unanimously a good ticket of officers-men who truly represent the rank and file or our neIuDerSnlp anu w F. m Co BACK THEM UP.
 Now, to get back to you and me. I said at the meeting that I would communicate with all present and urge them to re-enlist in the ac- tive ranks. So here goes my open ing shot (which, by the way. will hit MANY who are hard at work on Legion matters already but to the rest it comes straight and hard from one who has taken a job that he needs help on, and that Is the 1892 state convention. Are you ready to pull, push and boost for this big job we have ahead of us?
 I assume your answer will be Ives" and the attached slip may help you to decide which branch of the service you prefer to serve in.
 You didn't get a break like that back in IT and IS unless you vol- unteered-and what we need is volunteers-in the real sense of the word.
 Sincerely yours,
 ELLIS F. PHELSAN,
 Post Chaplain and Con-
 vention Chairman

bolt for the door and made a get away. It was MT Donovan. His friends established alibis and were released.
 The trail was then picked up in Waterbury. The ownership of the car was traced by its engine and manufacturers number from the factory to distributing station, to a salesroom and to one Albert Hanson. When Hanson was asked for an explanation he had a more interesting story to tell.
 MT Hanson met MT Forbes, alais Donovan. They drove from Irving, N. J., to New York city to investi- gate business proposition that MT Forbes had proposed. They en- gagged a room for the evening and made a night of it. They had a few drinks. When Hanson was "paged" in the morning he discov- cred Forbes was missing. He also discovered that his clothing, his watch, bank roll and keys had dis appeared. He sent out an S. o. s. to friends and they provided suffi- cient clothing for Hanson to ven- ture forth. He made another dis covery. His apartment back in Irv- ing had been entered and more clothes and his bank book had been taken. And so was his Oldsmo bile! ! Mir Forbes, alias MT Donovan, made a cleanup and vanished. He next appeared in Waterbury.
 The Oldsmobile is now in the possession of the local police and is expected to be claimed Monday morning by insurance agents. The police have broadcast description of Donovan Forbes to prevent any further attempts on his part to fiim-fiam victims.

A slick-working confidence man known only by the names of MT Forbes and Mir Donovan, is being sought by police throughout the country. Captain William F. kee- gan, chief inspector of the local de- tective bureau, is directing the hunt as one of the two machines involved in the brief career of MT Forbes was stolen in Waterbury. As e matter of fact it disappeared after being loaned to him by an in tended victim of a film liam game. The second car abandoned here has been claimed by insurance companies which recently reim- bursed its former owner, one AL bert Hanson of IS Fortieth street, Irving, N. J. Three states have charges pending against the much wanted gentleman.
 Under the name of MT Donovan the fugitive advertised locally for alert, ambitious young men eager to become associated in a splendid paying business proposition. There were several applicants. Their en- thusiasm vanished when MT Don- ovan after painting rosey future for anyone who had the wherewith to start. It was explained to the applicants that as evidence of good faith and as protection for MT Don ovan a cash bond had to be posted. It was case in which representa- lives handled considerable goods and ''vast sums of money" so he said. The bond obstacle was sufh- cient. No one fell for the scheme.
 Mr Donovan continued to play one local resident, whose name the police are withholding for various reasons. The smooth talking chap was driving around the city for over two weeks in a 1880 Oldsmo- bile car. He roomed in a tourist home on the Meriden road. He took special efforts to win the con- fldence of the local man and their acquaintance assumed such pro- portions that Donovan on explain ing that his car had been broken down succeeded in borrowing a 1881 Auburn from the local resi- dent.
 Donovan left one evening in the borrowed machine to visit Meriden for the purpose of checking up on several of his agents. He and the Auburn disappeared that evening.
 A few days ago in a garage in Pleinfield, N. J., the police came upon the missing machine. Two mon and two women were sitting 1t it. When the officers demanded proof of ownership a chap at the wheel stepped out to produce his credentials. He made sudden

Amateur Elephant Hunters to Take
Trail zvhere the Professionals Quit

had been engaged in walling up a
cistern in the Horse Heaven hills.
While on the job he unearthed a
couple of huge molars, a couple
of ribs and huge curved tusk.
The molars were eliptical in the
shape of their grinding surfaces,
seven by five inches in size. The
tusk was monster thing and was
brought to town and put on dis
play, but after exposure to the air
it finally disintergrated.
Remembering the location of the
cistern Mr.. Strandwold and Pro-
lessor Hodge made trip to the
hills Saturday to see if they could
locate the spot. After some inves-
tigation, sure enough the old wa
ter hole was located. Saturday the
local group, guided by Mr.. Hodge,
will make the trip to dig up the
bones of the beastie which once
roamed where now not even the
coyotes howl.
The caravan is not a closed at
fair. Anyone interesting in joining
may do so, the only fee being a
willingness to WELD shovel. The
parade will start at eight Satur--
day morning.

PORT DISTRICT
ONCE AGAIN is
IN OPERATION
Willard Campbell, Jay Perry
and A. /. Smith Elected as
Commissioners in Quiet
Election Tuesday

Half a hundred people did feel
the urge to m k e little crosses
Tuesday-tho some of them mere
" went to the polls for the fun of
going, judging from the funny
marks they placed upon the bal
lots. However, enough of them
wrote in the names of tn three
candidates so that they were elect
ed commissioners of The Port of
Kennewick.
Willard Campbell was elected
from the first precinct; Jay Perry
from the second and A. /. Smith
from the third. The board of coun-
ty commissioners will now hold a
canvassing session, after which
the newly elected commissioners
may put forth active efforts to
carry out the comprehensive plan
of development" as outlined and
approved by the previous board.
In other words the commission
ers will now proceed to spend the
money which has been lying idle In
Prosser for 10, these many years,
after which The Port of Kennewick
will once more revert to innocuous
deseutude.
