tiPPLE EXHIBIT
GREATEST EVER
• When the door* of the second
tNatieital Apple Shew open at 10
'o'clock Monday morning, the peo
ple of Washington and the union
-*HH be given an opportunity to
pjare open the greatest exhibit ef
apples ever grouped under one
roof.
The apple shew this year, as
compared with the exhibit of last
year, wilt be from one-half te
double the size ef the first show.
This is remarkable, too, in view
«f the fact that the apple crop is
much scarcer in many regions
'than It was last year.
Men who observe things closely
say that the apple sbow does the
great northwest more good as an
■actual demonstration of the pro
ducts of this region than all other
shows combined. No stronger tes
timonial of Uiv resources of a
region can be shown than a car

in thc> ordinary walks ot lite? Or
why this wide disparity between
employer and employe?"
Hence the banding together of
private men to protest against acts
of oppression and encroachments
upon their inalienable rights.
They say "a man ought to obey a
law that protects him." Hut when
that law becomes too grievous to
be obeyed and the yoke too burden
some to bear, is it not justifiable
to shake off that yoke, even by
open resistence? Is it allegiance
for a man to obey such a law or is
it mere pusillanimity? And when
this kind of obedience increases
the burden and makes the chains
more galling, is it right to entail
this servility upon future genera
tions? And you, who have taken
the stand of what you believe and
know to be right, about this labor
question, count not only the cost
and peril of the present, but, if it
will be a lasting benefit to poster
ity and promote the best interests
of the state, then the end will sanc
tion the means you have taken.

BOY WITH BROKEN

Lad Crippled on Way Has

HARTFORD, Conn.. Nov. 13.—
Edward Delay, aged 15, son of John
Delay of High street, fell and broke
his leg while on his way to the
public school yesterday, but so
anxious was he to maintain a per
fect record in attendance that he
got several of his mates to carry
him to the school, about a quarter
;of a mile. When the injured boy
j and his companions drew near the
I school the teacher, Miss Carter,
| learning what had happened, had
Delay taken to his home.
The boy was hurrying across
lots that he might not be late, and
In running down what is known as
(he "Sandpit" on Freestone avenue,
fell and sustained a compound frac
ture of his right leg. His desire
to preserve his two months' stand
ing of perfect attendance made
him ignore the pain of his injury,
and he managed to attract the at
tention of some school mates and
with their assistance got to school
on time.

ARCHITECT ELOPES WITH
WIFE OF BUSINESS MAN
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND
MRS. CHENEY TRACED TO
EUROPE—ON WAY TO
JAPAN.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13—Frank
Lloyd Wright, whose fame as a de
signer of original conceptions in
residence buildings, extends to for
eign shores, left his Oak Park resi
dence early in October, ostensibly
to publish a portfolio of plans in
Berlin. He sailed from New York
and was heard from in the German
capital.
About the time of his departure
Mrs. Edwin H. Cheney, wife of the
president of the Wagner Electric
Manufacturing company of Chi
cago, disappeared from the resi
dence of a friend in Colorado,
where she had been spending the
summer. Efforts to establish the
whereabouts of Mrs. Cheney, guid
ed by circumstances which already
had linked her name and that of
Mr. Wright in Oak Park society
gossip, led to the discovery that
she had been the companion of the
architect for a month in Germany
and probably is with him on the
way to Japan.
In Berlin Wright had apartments
at the Hotel Adlon. where he regis
tered as "Frank Lloyd Wright and
wife, l nicago." His business ad
dress there was in care of Ernest
Wasmuth & Co., architects, No. 35
Markgrafen strasse, where he re
ceived mail for himself, and cable
grams and letters to Mrs. Cheney
from relatives here have been re
ceived there by her. Neither
Wright nor Mrs. Cheney, who
posed as man and wife, had any
explanation to offer when Mrs.
Cheney claimed letters and des
patches in her own name. Four
days ago they gave up their apart
ments in the Hotel Adlon, leaving
no address, but announced they
were going to Japan.
That Wright is the victim of a
strange infatuation against which
he has battled for years is the
statement of Mrs. Wright In the
seclusion of her Oak Park resi
dence surrounded by her children.
