Walla Walla, Wash., March 25. (Observer Special.) This city Is agog with excitement arising out of the finding of Cecil Brlttaln near Spokane yesterday and the restora tion to the arms of the father of the 7-year-old boy who has been missing for the past two years. Believed the Boy Is Cecil. at Spokane and sent out by the. Asso ciated Press last evening, It Is believed here that the boy found yesterday Is. Cecil Brlttaln and not the son of ar Idaho actress. While there Is nothing definite ti eight now to substantiate the rumor the supposition here Is that the Brlt taln family Is financially embarrassed due to the prolonged hunt and the many unfruitful trips In search of the child, and are unable to raise the 12, 600 reward offered for its recovery. Mother to KKkane. T Mrs. Brittaln has not yet seen tht child, but left Walla Walla this after noon for Spokane, where she will meet the boy In question and then no doubt maternal affection will con vlnce the doubting as to the real lden- . . tlty of the child. ' No Trace of Kidnapers. Walla Walla friends of the family have been In communication with Spo kane this afternoon, but It Is Impos sible to learn what success the police Cfcave had In their search for the man and woman' who were seen with the boy before he was found.

Mr. Brlttaln has announced that he will adopt the bdy In lieu of not find' Ing his own, after a thorough searcn of the continent. This, more than any other attending circumstance, has led to the belief and supposition that the parents will once more have their own son around the family hearth, through adoption of an alleged waif, and also escape payment of the heavy reward.

Will Return Later and Address the Citizens of This County -Is Not Op posed to Statement No. 1 Does) Not -Believe Federal District Bill W ill Pans Here to Meet Mr. Honey or Any One Else In Defense of Hi Character. United States Senator C. J. Fulton., passed through this morning en route to Portland from Washington. He was met at the depot by a number of friends who were glad, to see him, knowing as they did thai his mission was for the purpose of meeting the ac cusations that had been made against his character by Francis J. Heney. Renstnr Fulton has -an yet made no definite arrangements regarding . his campaign, but was positive that he would visit La Grande In the near fu ture and address the citliens here. It goes without saying that he will be greeted with a large audience. ... He was surprised to learn that he was being misquoted all over the state as being opposed to statement No. 1, which he emphatically dented. The senator, regretted very much ' that he was obmpelled to leave Wash- tngton at this time, as there were sev eral matters of Importance that were pending In which he had taken great Interest and was desirous of seeing through. Upon being asked In regard to the chances of the passage of the bill in the house for the creation of the pro posed new federal district, he replied that he was of the . opinion that It could not be gotten through the house at this session of congress. Benator Fulton is looking well and while filling his lungs wtlh the good pure air of the Grande Rond valley, It could be plainly seen that he had come home for a definite' purpose and that purpose was to meet Mr. Heney or any one else who might attempt to Im'pune his political acts, which cover a period of over a quarter of a century. , Fulton has a strong personality. He Is a hard fighter, at the same time a fair fighter, and enters Into this cam palgn with a frankness and earnest ness that will carry conviction and unless Mr. Heney can dig up a great deal more than he has so far made public, he will find that Instead of In juring Mr. Fulton It will Teact In his favor. The voters of Oregon demand fair play, and the feeling la general that Heney has been playing cheap polltlue and that he has not been fair. . Mr. Heney for months continually made Insinuations that Fulton was an undesirable citizen and that he would let the world know all about It. After months of waiting he fired hls load of Insinuations nnd realizing that the large audience that went out to hear (Continued on page 4.) INDEPENDENT BLUE 32 V LA GRANDE.
