OF THE F TO BE CHALLENGED Walla Walla Adventists Treat Body of Beneficiary as That of a Pauper. Democrats Contend the State Constitution Forbids Them to Cast Their Ballots. FRENCHMAN" ODER ARREST HAGGL OVER COST 10 MORMONS UNEHAL LEFT LARGE SUM IN WILL Disinherited Nephew of the IiHte Pio neer, Touissant Chabot, Invokes Aid of Court to Provide a ' Suitable Casket. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 28. (Special.) After being named as benefi ciaries In the will of the late Touissant Chabot, receiving as gifts an amount estimated at HO.fwO in his will and during his lifetime, members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church stood in a local undertaking establishment Friday after noon and haggled over the price of a coffin in which to bury the old pioneer. Mlssell Chabot. a nephew, cut off in the will of his uncle with $1. protested against his uncle being buried as a pau per and Insisted that he be given a funeral in keeping with his station In life. The nephew P.nally won his point over the protests of the church people, having been advised by Judge Thomas H. Brents, of the Superior and Probate Court, that the estate would be respon sible for any reasonable charge for burial expense.-but the-chunrh -people drew the line on furnishing carriages for the pall bearers and members of the family. Although Young Chabot succeeded in getting a more expensive casket for his uncle than the church people, who had selected a cheap cofnn. were willing to pay for. the latter insisted on burying the old man in the College Place cemetery, as a lot there would cost nothing, and they had their way in this respect. Mr. Chabot, one of the oldest pioneers in this section, died at the. Walla Walla Hospital Friday morning at 10:30 and at 4 o'clock In the afternoon his will was filed and Mrs. Ince and Langdon were appointed executors of the estate. FOR LONGER TERMS Superintendent Ackcrman Favors ; Change in Present Law. 3A1.13M, Or.. Oct. 2S. (Special.) That the apportionment of p hllc school funds should be made upon -the basis of the' number of teachers employed, and not 1 upon the number of children in the dis- miet. in one of the most Important rec-' mmendatlons in the biennial report of Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H. lAckennan. which was made public to day. This very radical change in the plan (of distribution is suggested as. a means 'of enabling the sparsely settled district to employ as efficient a teacher and have as 'many months of school during the year i as the larger and more favored district. This privilege, Superintendent Ackerman says, is one to which the smaller district Is entitled. California has such a law. Among other recommendations made in 'the report are: That "the minimum length, of the school year be increased from three to five months: that the levy for school purposes he. Increased from $6 t IS per capita: 'that the inheritance taxes be turned into the irreducible school fund, and that a part or the whole of the cor poration tax be turned Into the common school fund to be expended each year for ' school purposes. In connection with the recommendation regarding the length of the school year, Superintendent Ackerman says there are too many districts satisfied to maintain school only the minimum number of months required by law. "There is no reason why a child in a small, isolated district is not entitled to as many months of school as is the child In a more favorably situated district," said lie. "More location should not be the test of the number of months' chool- ,ing to which a child Is entitled." The sug gestion that the rate of levy be increased Is founded upon the need of more funds In order that longer terms of "school may be maintained and higher salaries paid to ' teachers. I'pon tile subject of teachers' salaries. Superintendent Ackerman says: "There is no greater problem confronting the American people tliau that of teachers' salaries, and honce It is one that cannot and will not be. .settled in a day. With the increased cost of living and ever-Increasing educational demand for better preparation, the regarding teaching as more and more professional, more is de manded in a social way. both as to living and dress, and this carries with it. to a certain degree, a demand that the teacher shall give the whole of her time to school work and her vacations to recreation. "... Our statistics show that the average number of months of school is but little more than half the number of months in the calendar year. In other 'words, the average teacher Is out of em ployment really one-half the -time, during which her expenses must be met: and, as I have previously said, public opinion is coming to be such that she loses casteas a teacher to a certain extent if she en gages In other work in vacation time. Tlie salary question will never be settled right until the teacher is paid a fair wage for even.- month In the year." Superintendent Ackerman also recom mends that t'ounty Superintendents be ( paid salaries sufficient to warrant tnem in devoting all their time to their official duties, and that they be given clerical assistance, so that some one may be in the office while the fauperintendent is out visiting schools. The report says that the state course of study has been revised and as much as possible of the subject matter eliminated. "i presume." says Superintendent Ack erman. "there is no course of study print ed that goes farther In the way of prun ing the subjects of obsolete matter than does tlie Oregon Slate course of study, and I am of the opinion thnt when public opinion is a little more educated along this llne.lt wtll be not only feasible, but desirable, to eliminate still more." He says that the course of study for rural schools should include elementary agriculture, and that for city schools should include manual training. Speaking generally of educational condi tions In Oregon. Superintendent Ackerman says: "1 think I am not too optimistic when I say that the general school condi tions of the slate are quite satisfactory. They have not readied the ideal condi tion, and they never will; but when I yay they are quite satisfactory I mean that the educational forces now at work with the enthusiasm behind them, which Is Increasing on all sides, and with the! helpful co-operation of all the school fac tors which now predominate. I can see mighty changes for the better in the school system of our beloved state. I am firmly convinced that there never has been a time In the history of the world w..en toe children of the country were better trained morally, mentally and physically than is being done at the pres ent time." The report recommends the enactment of a law that will compel parents to send their children to scriool. - speaks in felici tous terms of the benefits derived from parents' meetings, advises Oae holding of Charged With Importing Girls for Immoral Purposes. - LEWISTON. Idaho, Oct. 28. (Special.) Wanted on the charge of bringing French girls to America for Immoral purposes, leon Demoleler, a Frenchman, was taken to Seattle this morning in custody of Cnited States Immigration Inspectors A. J. Ferrandini,.of . Bellingham. an4 .A..;F. Richardson, of Spokane. Demoleler. who was accompanied by a beautiful young French girl, was picked up in Lewlston yesterday by Chief Savage on telegraphic Instructions from Seattle. Immigration officers have had Demoleier under suspicion for several years, and he has been watched closely ever since his arrival at Ellis Island, six weeks ago. He is believed to have induced a number of French girls to come to America. The woman who accompanied him to this city Is strikingly handsome, but unable to speak English. She was taken by the immigration officers to Seattle, where It Is expected she will give evidence, against Demoleler at his preliminary hearing in the United States Court. Mme. Lawre, a woman who has been working in collusion with Demoleier for several years, was taken into custody a few days ago at North Yakima, while officers were waiting for a Government warrant for the arrest.

Is Being Organized Lead . Ing Up. to This Situation at the Coming Election. BOISE. Idaho, Oct. 28. (Special.) Secre tary Arney, of the Democratic State Com mittee, gave out the following statement on behalf of the committee: The Mormons of Idaho will be challenged as to their constitutional right to vote 4a Idaho. Hon. Charles H. Jackson will leave today for the southern part of the state to take charge of the organization of the work leading up to these constitutional chal lenges. The state committee takes the view of the situation that under the sworn testimony of the leaders of the church, given in the Smoot case, no Mormon can vote under the provisions of the Idaho state constitution. The commlttee'-s views of the situation have been augmented lately by the positive state ments made In various campaign arguments by Senator Heyburn, in which he has con tended, vigorously that the constitution was an effectual bar, without- the enactment of statute, to any one voting who teaches polygamy, plural or celestial marriage, or who placed the ecclesiastical above the civil law! The challenges now to be made will lay the foundation for a contest In the Congress of the United States as to the right of Mor mons to exercise the elective franchise un der the provisions of the Idaho state constitution,- as provided in section 3 of ar ticle 6. The constitution of the state provides that no person can vote-who practices polygamy,- who teaches polygamy, or be longs to an organization that teaches po lygamy. It also provides that the Legls- Llature may ma.ee additional qualifications lor suffrage. Under the last-named pro vision, the Legislature of 1891 provided a test oath to be taken. This barred out all who ever had taught or practiced po lygamy or belonged to a churchj tiiat ever had taught polygamy. That retroactive legislative provision was removed, in 1893, in view of the alle gation tnat the Mormons were dealing In good faith in their manifesto abrogating polygamy. In 1895 another change was made, the constitutional provision oeing removed from the elector's oath. The point now made by the Democrats is that the church, as shown by testimony of leaders, is still teaching polygamy. It is the purpose to contest the election of Borah, if Mormon votes in the Legis lature make his majority, and perhaps if Mormon votes at the polls contribute to majorities for non-Mormon members of the Legislature. The election of Con gressman French may. be contested on- similar grounds, if his majority- fall with in the figures of the Mormon vote. PILES WILL UNITE PARTY SENATOR RETURNS THIS WEEK TO ENTER IiOCAIi FIGHT. Disaffection in King County De mands Solid Organization to Work at the Polls., SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 23. (Special.) United States Senator Samuel H. Piles is coming back this week to take up his local fight again, and there will be await ing him a delegation of Republican politi cians who will assert that Piles' Influence must be asserted strongly in several dis tricts. It looks as though the only uncertainty existed in the Thirty-second and Thirty fifth districts, but there are five rather bitter Senatorial contests in progress. Senaor Piles will probably dismiss one or two of these with the conviction that the candidates can take care of themselves, but he will likely . dip into at least two districts. Democratic politicians have opened up a nasty fight on Joe Lyons, member of the House during two sessions.- The fight is rather recent, -and does not seem seri ously to threaten his prospects. Lyons is being fought on the ground that he has opposed the direct primary, is against tire local optidh bills, and voted for Ankeny ln.1903. . . . George F. Cotterill, who is running against Lyons, has been a member of the Republican, Prohibitionist, Populist, Free Silver and Democratic- parties, and had strong socialistic tendencies at one time. He bolted Turner two years ago, and was one of the populist 'electoral candidates, but was received back into the 'Demo cratic fold again. . He is a. strong Good Templar. The district is peculiar. The Sixth Ward is a -strong saloon . section, while- the Eighth is dominated by the church vote. Lyons Is a barber of liberal tendencies. He has stood well in the district hereto fore, and fear of danger to him is a re cent complication. Senator Piles is going .nto -a district on Friday night to -ellver a strong ap peal for Lyons' election. At the same time he is expected to say plainly that he expects the election of the entire Legisla tive ticket. This will be repeated again at Renton on Saturday, and at a closing political meeting here the following Mon day, when Piles and Humphrey conclude the campaign at home. That there is disaffection in King Coun ty has been conceded all along, but com paratively few have believed the disaffec tion serious. As a matter- of fact, the interest in the campaign has oeen so list less that there is absolutely no means of estimating the extent of the disaffection or of foretelling the election result. The city election showed a fusion majority, but that is not necessarily a criterion of an independent, vote in King. The city campaign was complicated by a munici pal ownership sentiment that does not af fect Fall- politics. Tn addition. ...ie coun try is believed to be safely Republican. Experienced country precinct managers have written repeatedly that they do not need help; that their districts are safely Republican. In the city is it extremely difficult to put a finger on the dlsauec tion. There is talk of trouble, but It is more of an elusive rumor. An uneasiness, though, exists which makes the result precarious enough to warn'' both parties that good organization is necessary at the polls. If the Republicans can get out the vote they will certainly win. Senator Piles' home-coming may have the effect of stirring up parry workers and solidifying the organization. It is planned for that effect. Two years ago his personality saved at least one impor tant office on the ticket, and if Senator Piles makes a direct appeal he can probably- repeat- that trttmph. Irr any event, politicians are going" to put it to him that way. m fJ -vvno s wno in mis nearst political gamer itsatangie, - is B 8 The A bold, searching investigation and analysis, a sincere attempt to get at the facts of Hearst's career without preju dice, his motives, his ambitions, his ideas of journalism and politics, without doubt, the most comprehensible por trayal of Hearst yet written, -with some striking conclu sions as to his ability, his character and his proposed achievements. The American Magazine Ida M. TarbeM, F. P. 10 Cents At Any News-stand 1.C0 a Year BLOWN UP BY GAS Five Two-Story Buildings De stroyed in Kansas Town. TWO KILLED AND 24 HURT Natural Product Is Supposed to Have Escaped From Leaky Main and Accumulated in Houses Until It Is Ignited. TOPEKA, Kan.r Oct. 28. Two per sons were killed, one is missing, four were seriously injured and 20 - more were more or less injured in a terrific explosion of natural gas. which com pletely demolished five two-story buildings at Coffeyville, Kan., at noon today. The dead: JESSE ROSS. MRS. J. E. M'DANIEL,. Missing Young son of C. J. Clossen, gro cer. Seriously Injured C. J. Clossen, grocer; Cotton Ray, a cabman; Mrs. Pearl Keller, S-year-old son of Mrs. Keller. It is suposed that the gas escaped from a leaking main somewhere in the block, and that after a sufficient quan tity had accumulated it became ignited, causing the explosion. The buildings were in a row on East Eighth street, and were occupied by a real estate office, three stores and a restaurant. The second floors of all the buildings were occupied by rooming-houses. Neither Ross nor. Mrs. McDaniel was killed outright by the explosion, but both were frightfully injured and died shortly afterward at a hospital. The entire block of five buildings was lev eled to the ground, and only broken brick, scattered lumber and twisted iron remain. The buildings and stocks in them are a total loss, as none of them were Insured against gas explo sion. A fire broke out immediately after the explosion, but the flames were quickly extinguished and little damage was done. Since the explosion, oil men at Coffeyville have questioned the the ory that it was caused by escaping gas. They are all of the opinion that it was a nitroglycerin explosion, and the firemen who reached the scene first declare that they smelled dynamite, so far as can be learned, neither nitro glycerin nor dynamite was handled by any occupant of the buildings. : Xew Chnrcli for Montavilla. -The Church of the Latter Day Saints Is erecting a chapel in Montavilla, on Laurel street.
