private citizens and the churches have

teel girders and a great rostrum with
Oreclan pillars has been constructed at
one end. Seats for 7000 persons have

decorated. For the past two weeks the

direction of Professor Gardner, have been
stringing miles of wire, placing thou
sands of electric lights and working out
unique designs for lighting the grounds.
"When the work is completed the campus
will be ablaze with lights. The landscape
gardeners are also planting beautiful
flowers about the campus.
A feature of exceptional interest will
be the student parade Monday afternoon
and the pageant Monday night. The af
ternoon parade, or circus, will be in the
nature of a series of burlesques on col
lege life. The work of the various de
partments will be depicted in humorous
ways and many of the student stunts will
be repeated, in order that visitors may
see and understand the real spirit of
these things. The evening exercises will
take the form of drills, and dances in cos

NOT MEANT FOR PAPERS
Leaders in "Robbery" of Coaching
Party Very Sorry Tbat Police
Were. Put to So Much Incon-
venience Through Episode.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 9. (Special.)
George W. Vanderveer, Prosecuting
Attorney, notified Chief of Police Wap
penstein this afternoon that the sta
tutes' of the state thoroughly cover the
"holdup" of the Harry Whitney Treat
coach, filled with society women, yes
terday, and that his office proceed
againt the culprits if Wappenstein saw
fit to file Informations. -
"1 greatly regret the whole unfor
tunate occurrence., I am sorry it got
into the newspapers and very much
regret the inconvenience and embar
rassment caused the police," said Mr.
Treat today.
"Before we started from the Hotel
Washington, Joshua Green, whose wife
was giving the coaching party, told me
that I needn't be surprised if some
thing queer happened along the road
that there might be some fun.
"It was Mrs. Green's party, as I have
said, and she occupied the box seat.
Husband or Hostess "Robber."
"When the masked men appeared, I
whipped up and tried to drive by the
hold-up party. A large man, who was,
I have been told, no less a personage
than Mr. Green himself, grabbed the
leader on the far side and hung on.
."The horse dragged him probably 50
yards and the man's weight on the rein
drew the leaders into the ditch. To
save an accident, I stopped the coach."
"This affair was not intended to- get
into the newspapers that's the worst
feature of the case," said Joshua Green
this morning.
"You see, these little personal mat
ters ought not to be printed. I regret
that the police were called that was
an oversight. We did not figure on
that. As for the women on the coach,
they are all my wife's friends and mine,
and I believe if they were asked to vote
today they would say they wouldn't
have missed the experience for any
thing.
Much Criticism" Heard.
"Yes, we had guns, all right, and
they were big and ugly-looking, but
they were old-fashioned and not in
service. There was no such thing as a
cartridge in the crowd.
"Of course there is no Joke In hav
ing a bunch of detectives ride several
miles at top speed on the report of a
hold-up that was no hold-up, after alL
That part of it is bad."
The fifth of the bold "bandits," whose
name was not learned yesterday, is
Henry Dickinson, whose wife was in
the coaching- party.
Comments of various kinds were
heard all over the city last night and
tonight regarding the affair on the Golf
and Country Club road. There was
criticism 'in plenty, and particularly be
cause the police were notified of a
highway robbery in which jewels worth
$7000 or JSOOO had been taken at the
point of a battery of guns which turned
out to be a hoax. It is reported, too,
that the nerves of some of the women
on the coach were so badly shattered
that one or two of them fainted after
the excitement was over.
OLD ENGINEER FOUND DEAD

Since Decoration Day, Located.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., June 9.

House Provision Exempting Labor
Unions Prom' Anti-Trust Law
Prosecutions Killed.
WASHIXQTON, June 9.-Actlon of the
Senate committee on appropriations in
striking out of the civic sundry appro
priation bill the House provision direct
ing that no part of the money, for enforc
ing the anti-trust law shall be1 utilized In
the prosecution of combinations . looking
to the increase of -wages, the- shortening
of hours and the betterment of the condi
tions of labor was sustained by the Sen
ate today after an animated debate. The
vote was 34 to 16.
Stone and Mclnery voted affirmatively
with the Republicans and Burkett, Dol
liver, Jones, Page and Warner in the
negative.
Bacon and Owen criticised the commit
tee's action. Both contended that the
anti-trust law was not intended to apply
to such combinations. If there were acts
of violence, they said, they could be pun
ished under the criminal laws.
Defending the committee's action. Hale
called attentidh to the practice of boy
cotting and said that the committee had
thought it best to strike out the pro
vision, to afford an opportunity to the
committee to consider the subject.
Heyburn also indorsed the committee's
action, saying he did not see the wisdom
of having a criminal statute without pro
viding for its enforcement. The gather
ings of wage-earners were not always
peaceable and he added that he had seen
many acts of violence grow out of such
meetings.
He intimated that the purpose of the
House provision was to influence vdtes.
Gore contended that the House provision
ws not intended to protect violence and
said, that the effort to' prosecute labor
ing men for movements in their interest
was a relic of the dark ages.

ceived by M. C. Dickinson last night.
A great many automobile men ques
