Proceedings Are Begun.
S5ATTLB Wash.. Oi-t. IS. (Special.)
Twenty thousand residents of Ranler
Valley, between Ren ton and Seattle, are.
back of proceedings Instituted In the
local Superior Courts today to enjoin the
Puget Sound Biectrfc Company from
inaugurating an advance in rates that
was recentiy promulgated.
Most of the residents of the valley are
employed in the. city, having purchased
suburban home on the Installment plan
because of the nominal fare hitherto in
vnjruo. The new 'ato i declared by them
to be prohibitive and confiscatory, and to
have been instituted without having
obtained consent of the State Railroad
Commission. The latter point constitutes
ti legal basis of the injunction suit.
C. D. Hillman. who promoted most of
the settlements in the vail 0. today an
nounced that he had Jt.wo.noo. all of
w hich he. would spend if need be, to pre
vent the advance In rates. He today
ef ahliahed an automobile service be
tween Seattle and Renton, as a substitute
for the electric line.
Town councils and citizens In the
various settlements have passed resolu

AGED PASTOR IS OUSTED
Seattle Presbyterians Make End to
Wrangle in Congregation.
9BATTLB. Wash.. Oct. IS. (Special.)
The long-fought controversy between the
Rev. W. A. Bass, pastor of the LAke
Union Presbyterian church, and now
messenger boy in the employ of the
Western Union, and the Presbytery of
Seattle, was terminated today by the un
frocking of the aged pastor, whlefc strips
him of his rights as a minister of the
Presbyterian Church.
The judicial committee of the Pres
bytery brought about the undoing of the
pastor in the adoption by unanimous vote
of a resolution censuring him for his
contumacy. Members of his con
gregatlon. the Olivet Church of Fre
mont, were charged with padding trfe
membership roster to Intiuence the elec
tion of a pastor.
Bass left the church and organized
new one, and an edifice was constructed
almost over night. The new church was
but a stone's throw from the old, and the
holy war was bitter. The quarrel broke
up friendships of years standing in the
neighborhood, and to escape the monot
ony and burden of the controversy, Bass
took a job aa messenger boy.
It Is expected that Eass will continue
as pastor of the new church, which will
change Its name.

President of School Board Places
Blame for I'nmljr Pupils.
BELLING HAM, Wash.. Oct. 18. (Spe
cial. "If the pupils misbehave In
school their parents should be thrashed
rather than the children themselves.
In almost every case the fathers and
mothers are to blame, either through
inefficient home training or through
upholding their children against the
teachers. This Is my view of. the cor
poral punishment question."
This startling statement, made today
by ir. W. R. Grey, president of the
Bellingham Board of Kducation, has
caused a mild furore among the citizens
here, especially those who have chil
dren in the public schools. It was
made in connection with the case of a
principal thrashed by an angry father
whose boy It is alleged he had pun
ished so severely as to cripple him
temporarily. Dr. Grey upholds the prin
cipal, and states that the father Is de
serving of even more drastic punish
ment than was visited upon the head
of his boy.
The Superintendent of Schools in
formed the press tonight that the prin
cipal's action was "none of the public's
business." Considerable feeling is
aroused over the matter.

ing of the supreme council of the Scot
tish Rite of Free Masonry for the
southern Jurisdiction of the United
States assembled here today. Sover
eign GranJ Commander James D. Rich

called Mie meeting to-order, there being
present, among others. General Samuel
Crocker Lawrence, sovereign grand
commander of the northern Jurisdic
tion, and Lr. John A. Gibson, sovereign
grand commander of the supreme coun
cil of Canada.
The address of Mr. Richardson con
tained a detailed review of the history
of the order during the past two years.
"It Is worthy of comment," he said,
"that there are more members of our
bodies filling seats In the Senate and
House of Representatives In Washing
ton at this time than there wTere mem
bers of the rite In several states of
our Jurisdiction, which I could name, 25
years ago. These facts are not re
ferred to by me as evidence of the
popularity of the order, or in the' na
ture of self-adulation or glorification,
but to show that there Is a profundity
of meaning In its philosophy and
dogma which engrosses the serious at
tention of men of ability, learning and
culture, and further to show evidence
of the fact that, as the rite grows,
widens, multiplies and enlarges, its
scope and influence, there will not be
wanting strong-minded and strong
hearted members properly to utilize its
potentialities and Judiciously govern its
councils."

BEND TEA M AFTER BIG Cl'P
Crook County Fair Offers $100
Purse and Silver Trophy.
BEND. Or., Oct. IS. (Special.) The
Bend baseball team yesterday wound up
Its practice preparatory to the forthcom
ing all-county contest, and with the fin
ishing touches applied to the playing
of every position, left today for the
Prinevllle County Fair. A purse of J100
and a large silver cup awaits the Crook j
county team wmcn carries on me pen
nant In the tournament at the county
seat, which is to form an Important part
of the week of fun-making attending the
fair.
During the Summer the Bend baseball-
lets have defeated teams representing the
Hill surveying camps in the vicinity upon
several occasions, despite the fact that
In the ranks of the railroad builders are
many college men of pronounced ball
tossing ability. Indeed, the local team's
record shows it to be exceptionally strong
mis year, and its Bend backers have
every expectation of welcoming It back
to the banks of the Deschutes with the
big championship cup in tow.
What is conceded by all who were pres
ent to be the best wrestling match ever
held here occurred at Dreamland Hall
last night, when John Berg, the Port
land favorite, defeated Walt Evans, of
Knoxville, Tenn., in one" of the hardest
fought matches imaginable.
Evans took the flrstTall In 26 minutes,
while Berg landed the final two In 6 min
utes and 12 minutes, respectively. Had
It not been that Berg plainly weakened
his game antagonist from the South by
the application of the famous toe hold,
to which Evans succumbed In the short
est fall of the match, .there might have
been a different story to tell, even
though Berg was the heavier man of the
two.
Evans showed himself as classy a
grappler as there is in the game, and the
marvelous skill and dexterity with which
he frequently got out of the clutches of
his powerful opponent set the crowd wild
with delight. In strength of arms Evans
was not In Berg's class, but hia powerful
legs showed where his principal claim to
grappling honors lies, and U was by
that he scored the first fall, for
Berg, after a powerful resistance, suc
cumbed to a body scissors fastened on
him quick as a flash by Evans.
First Fall Is Surprise.
This was the first fall of the match,
and previous to that Berg had all the
better of the argument as far as secur
ing holds was concerned, but the wily
Southerner was as. shifty aa an eel and
succeeded in squirming out of Berg's grip
each time. When the bout'had progressed
20 minutes the fans commenced to expect
1 n Hectainn onlv when one or the other
would tire himself out.
Berg, however, brought things to a
sudden termination by attempting a
scissors hold. ' When he missed, Evans
was quick to see his advantage, and
before Berg could recover he was en
compassed In this hold himself, and
his opponent's strength of limb grad
ually overcame his resistance and his
shoulders went to the mat.
When the men returned for the sec
ond fall. Evans looked fresh and Bergr
had a determined look on his face.
When the referee, "Strangler" Smith,
called time. Berg rushed Evans and
succeeded in getting the upper hold.
He seemed Inclined to rush matters
and kept Evans constantly guarding
the application of a fresh hold- Bergs
tactics were to catch the dread toe hold,
and he finally accomplished his object
by getting Evans' foot in this deadly
grip.

ins tackle in the game Saturday. The young
man was paralysed from th neck down.
As Berg used the leverage on the
foot, Evans weakened and tried to sig
nal that he would give up, but Referee
'Smith, instead of tapping Berg on the
shoulder. Indicating that he had won
the fall, told him to let go. and Berg
was puzzled and held on several sec
onds longer than he should. When some
of the crowd expressed disapproval, he
quietly explained matters with an an
nouncement, and was given a rousing
hand.
The last fall was a hammer-and-tongs
affair, in which each man wrest
led hard and tried earnestly to gain
the advantage. The-strenuous pace told
on Evans, for he was weakening fast
when Berg caught a combination arm
lock and head hold, with which he put
the other's shoulders to the mat in 12
minutes. Everybody' was satisfied
and Evans was given a rousing cheer,
though defeated.

After
La Grippe
"I had suffered several weeks
.with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. It felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was so nervous that
I could not rest or sleep. When
I dozed off I would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Tills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits."
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it 'leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine
should be taken for some time
to thoroughly restore nerve
strength.
