“Bill” Cochran Gets
Love Offering From
Grade School Pupils
BELLINGHAM, Wn„ Feb. 19.—
The affection in which W. L. Coch
ran, physical director of the grade
schools, is held by the pupils of the
grade buildings was revealed recent-1
ly when City Superintendent D. E.
Wiedman at St. Luke’s hospital pre
sented the injured director with a
certificate of deposit for $175. All
this was contributed voluntarily and
spontaneously by the pupils, who
took the “love offering” to assist Mr.
Cochran in paying hospital and other
bills resulting from injuries received
by him when he fell down an open
elevator shaft in the Mason block.
“Bless their hearts, I love every
one of them,” Mr. Cochran said in
expressing his appreciation. “Tell
them I hope to be with them soon.”
Mr. Cochran is still in great pain '

WARREN LINCOLN SAYS
CONFESSION WAS FALSE
GENEVA, 111., Feb. 19.—Warren
Lincoln, the lawyer-florist of Aurora,
took the witness stand today In the
trial lor the murder of his wife,
Lina, and her brother, Byron Shoup.
He denied the confession he once
made that he killed the two Janu
ary 19, 1923, and burned their bod
ies piece by piece in the furnace of
his hothouse, except for the heads,
which he cut off and sealed in ce
ment.
The block containing the heads
was found June 26, 1924, at a city
dump in Aurora after Lincoln had
confessed and directed the search
for the crypt.
An astounded jury and courtroom
listened to Lincoln’s denial that he
had ever killed anyone at any time
or any place.

Professor Declares
He Will “Rag” Opera
SPOKANE, Wn„ Feb. 20—While
attorneys for Prof. Francis E. Wood
ward, choir leader and music teacher,
were preparing today to file in the su
perior court a suit demanding $10,000
damages on behalf of their client from
Ralph Pollack, leader of an orchestra
playing a theatre and dance hall en
gagement here because he had taken
tunes from the old masters and “jazz
ed them,” Mr. Pollack announced his
intention to invade still further the
realm of classics with his modern
syncopation.
“Prof. Woodward is wrong,” wras
Mr. Pollock’s reply to the professor’s
complaint, which has been served on
him. “And to prove it, I shall mod
ernize, or if he so prefers to term
it, ‘rag’ the opera ‘Aida,’ next week.”
Basis of his suit for damages he
claims have been sustained by his
business because of Mr. Pollock’s ren
dition of the work of the masters,
“the public has received a perverted
idea of classical music, insofar that
many children no longer desire a mu
sical education.”
The Pollock orchestra, Professor
Woodward maintains, “makes a prac
tice of mutilating by butchering the
classic selections of the world’s mas
ter composers.”
But Mr. Pollock feels differently
about it.
‘‘I maintain and always shall, that
I have rather made an improvement
on the old masters than dragged them
down. I have the right to play any
tune in any* manner I see fit.”
LET S CJO WHERE?
HUGE GOVERNMENT ARSENAL
LIES IDLE AND UNPRODUCTIVE
ROCK ISLAND, Feb. 19.—Four
hundred million dollars’ worth of
property lies in comparative disuse
at the Rock Island Arsenal here.
Largest of the government arsenals
in the United States, Rock Island
during the world war employed 13,
000 workmen, and gained the repu
tation as the largest arsenal in the
world, the Krupp factory in Germany
having been dismantled.
Col. D. M. King, commandant, said
he has no information of any plan
to increase the activity of the arsen
al, although during the presidential
campaign it was suggested by can
didates that congressional action be
taken which would permit the carry
ing on of productive work on the
basis which existed prior to the war.
“Vast quantities or ordinance stores
produced by all government arsenals
and by private industries through
out the east as a result of war act
ivities,” Col. King said, “resulted in
a large surplus of such material on
hand, a quantity sufficient for the
needs of the army at its reduced
strength for some time. Very little
productive work is being dofite. Op
erations are confined principally to
work of an experimental nature in
connection with the design of ar
tillery material and repair of equip
ment turned in from the field. At
present there are slightly less than
600 employes. The percentage of
capacity at which the arsenal fa
cilities are nowT being utilized may
be stated as approximately 5 to 10
per cent.
“The arsenal as it stands today
represents a valuation, at a very con
servative figure, including stores on
hand for issue and for manufactur
ing puposes, of nearly $400,000,000.
Approximately $50,000,000 of this fig
ure is represented in the value of its
buildings and equipment.”
Malcolm S. Wilson of Juneau, rep
resenting the Mutual Paper Company,
advises his customers that he is on
his way to Seward and will arrive on
the Alameda.
