THE CRASH' ID
 CL 0SE RUN AT
 COL SIE:UM NON.
Ruth Chatterton, George Brent Together in Film
 of Market Collapse

Another success is scored for Ruth Chatterton and George Brent who are teamed together for the second time in The Crash ap- bearing at the Coliseum tonight for the last time.
 Miss Chatterton and MT. Brent, who were recently married to each other, made their first appearance together in The Rich Are Always With Us" and are declared by many fans to be the finest screen team in Hollywood.
 Dramatic Story
 The Crash" is a dramatic story of the stock market collapse and it's effect on the rich. Miss Chat terton was never more charming than she is as Linda Gau1t, the ex- travagant wife of a struggling bro- ker and plays each sequence with the finished technique that is all her own. Brent is excellent as the husband, carrying role that might well be oyerdone, with sin cerity and genuineness.
 Uses "Charms'
 It is the story of a beautiful wife, sent by her broker husband to win, from an international ban ker with her charm" tips on the market. Just before the crash, she tries again, and this time her charm fails. The unexpected re- suits of this failure and it's effect on the whole houseful of servants as well as on the broker and his wife, makes a story full of punch.
 Others in the cast are Paul Cav anaugh, Helen Wilson, Hardie AL bright Louis Wilson and Ivan Simpson.
 Incidentally Miss Chatterton more than lives up to her reputation as the best dressed woman on the screen in "The Crash and wears a score of beautiful gowns.

locked up. The meeting was for
the purpose of ascertaining what
methods could be used to have the

the matter Of water collections, il

County Auditor Keene Gives
Brief Resume of Statutes
Affecting Local Residents
Particularly
NEW LAWS SPREAD
OVER WIDE FIELD
Old Age Pension Bill is Cause Of
Much Worry for Budget Makers
of County F.a se...

In looking over the laws effec-
tive this year through initiative
measures adopted at the last cleo
ton and statutes enacted at the
last session of the legislature, we
find a wider variation in and more
drastic legislation than ever before
put on the statute books Of this
state in corresponding period Of
time.
Chapter ] of the session laws as
published is initiative No. So which
provides for permanent registra-
ton Of voters, providing they con-
tinue to reside in the same precinct
and continue to vote regularly.
This becomes effective in incorpor-
ated cities and towns September /,
1888 and in precincts lying outside
of incorporated cities and towns
it goes into effect january 2, 1896.
Initiative Measure No. 81 re-
pealed all existing laws prohibit
ing or controlling the traffic in
intoxicating liquor.
Initiative No. 62 is thenew state
game code which took the man
agement of game and game fish
affairs from the county game COM
missions and placed it with the
state game commission composed
of six members appointed by the
Governor, which commission Sc
lects the state directors of game,
and makes all rules and regula-
tions for the propagation and pres
ervation Of game, fixes the sea-
sons, bag limits, ETC., which was
formerly under the control Of the
county game commissions. Under
this measure the fee for a state
hunting and fishing license was
reduced from $3.50 to $500 and
anyone hunting or fishing many
county except that in which he re-
sides, must have a state license.
Initiative Measure No. 81 spec
flies that except as otherwise pro-
vided, the aggregate Of all tax
AGFCo hPOn ASeA onu PCAoOAANl PLOR-
erty by the state, county school
district and city or town shall not
in any year exceed forty mills on
the dollar Of assessed valuation,
which assed valuation shall be fif-
ty percent of the true and fair
value Of any such property in
money, and the levy by the state
shall not exceed five mills, the
levy by any county shall not ex-
coed ten mills, including the levy
for the county school fund, the
levy by or for any school district
shall not exceed ten mills and the
levy by any city or town shall not
exceed fifteen mills; provided, that
nothing herein shall limit the
power Of any county to levy taxes
at the rate provided by law, for
any taxing district, other than q
school district, where such taxing
district included less than the
whole county (this probably means
road districts within the county,
provided further, that the limit

COUNCIL TURNS
THUMBS DOWN
DAYLIGHT PLAN
Change in Clocks Not in Favor
Here Unless Nearby Towns
Adopt System; Merchants
to Serve

It's extremely doubtful that
Kennewick residents will be asked
to set their clocks an hour ahead.
In spite of Governor Martins re-
quest that the whole state adopt
the daylight saving plan, Kenne-
wick will still continue to listen to
the curfew at nine o'clock instead
of eight.
The matter was considered by
the council Tuesday night. Mayor
Anon stated that so far as he was
personally concerned he would like
to see Kennewick keep in step with
the remainder of the state but
that change or no change he felt
that business institutions should
regulate their opening and closing
hours to suit the farmers conven-
fence.
The question got the same treat
.ment at the hands of the council
that it did at the hands of the
chamber of commerce the week
previously and was laid upon the
table, there to expire as graceful
ly as might be.
However, should the neighboring
towns-Pasco, for instance-de-
eide to adopt the new tangled no
ton of setting the clocks ahead,
the question then might undergo
treatment by the city's little used
pulmotor and again be revived.
Spokane, Walla Walla, Yakima
and even Prosser have adopted the
new schedule. Intercourse betfeeu
the towns is decidedly confusing
under the present system of two
schedules and it may be decided TO
change the clocks but keep the
present hours.
Realizing the advantages of hav-
ing regular picture show, the
council is considering means of Sc
curing such an institution.
The matter was laid on the table
until next meeting.

Gun Club Planning
Summer Activities

A special meeting of the Ken
newick Rod and Gun club is to be
called at 8 o'clock in the city hall
Monday evening, Don Visger an
nounced today.
Definite plans for the predatory
bird and animal hunt, to be staged
on a competitive basis with the
Pasco club, are to be laid and a
date arranged.
It is also planned to discuss fur
Their the problems of the natural
small fish traps at the mouth of
the Yakima river, and to lay a
program for their rescue and re-
planting.

START TO ROLL
Yield to Be Heavier than Ex-
pected tho Winter Does
Much Damage

While Horace Wray of the Ken
newick Nursery brought in the
first ripe strawberry for the sea-
son, to A. Schaffner of Finley
goes the credit for the first COM
mercial lot. He brought in eight
hallocks of Clark Seedlings Mon
day and C. E. Hitler of the Gar
den Tracts brought in the second
lot. These were put on the local
markets.
Seven crates of berries were
brought in yesterday and were
shipped to Spokane and the coast
and local shippers are looking to
see the amounts increase daily
from now on. The coast berries
were sold at a nominal price but
those going to Spokane brought a
pretty fair price, taking into con-
sideration general economic con-
ditions.
Cool, cloudy weather for the
past two or three weeks has been
ideal for the growth of berries
while making the asparagus cut
tings slow up unseasonably. The
weather has developed the size Of
the berries until the short crop
will yield much heavier than was
anticipated, although the crop will
be far short of the normal produc-
ton. The season is somewhat lat
er than usual, a circumstance
which will make the marketing
somewhat better, it is expected, as
the California shipments are about
over.

Spray Schedule

About IS members of the Big Y
gathered in the local office Monday
evening to hear A. L. beavers,
manager of the Yakima Valley
Spray company talk on the spray
schedule.
He stated the regular spray
schedule would continue until July
when oil and nicotine spray would
be used. The new schedule is due,
on account of the requirement of
removing lead from the apples be-
fore shipment to conform with the
tariff provided by the department
of pure food and drug law. About
ten members were present from the
upper valley.

patches. Monday. when. Horace

green Strawberries Of the Wrayred
