has received good deal of criticism,
which the members feel is unjust. Ac-
cording to statements made this morning
by Commissioner of Public Works Clark
and Councilman Mahncke the condition Is
one that could not be helped. There IS
but one permanent sidewalk on North
Yakima avenue, they say, and that is one
the correct line. The old wooden walks
are not on the line and the matter can
not be taken up by the authorities until a
local improvement district is formed, and
the council is waiting for the property
owners to bring in petition to that ef-
feet. In the first place, the property own
ers asked the council not to form dis
trict and the owners were given 80 days
to build their walks, but bad weather set
in and upset their plans. The council
committee has already discussed the mat
ter and will probably be brought up again
at the committee meeting this afternoon.

PORTLAND, Or. Jan l2-Nearly ev-
cry state in the Union is represented at
the seventh annual convention OF the Ma
tonal Live Stock association, now in ses-
sion in this city. The gathering was for
mally opened today and will continue in
session through the remainder Of the week
The large attendance and the Importance
of the subjects combine to make the con-
vention the most notable OF it's kind ever
held in this country. The three matters to
be given foremost attention are forest
reserves, the combination of the packers
against stock raisers, and transportation.
Among the men of prominence who will
address the convention are Chancellor u.
benjamin Andrews Of the University OF
Nebraska, Colonel w. e. Skinner of I'LL

terest of New York. As to the date. it is
probable the convention will be held the
first week in July. Senator German is
understood to favor an early convention,
but the uncertainty as to when congress
will be ready to adjourn is likely to lead
the committee to fix late date.
IL is expected that vote ON the con.
vention city and the date win be reached
between and o'clock this evening. Il
will be necessary for the committee to
meet again tomorrow.
The candidate talk is still confined main
ly. to German, and Parker. All of the
other boomlets, including that of Marshall
Field, Olney, Gray and Hearst, are still
in swaddling clothes.
One of the strongest advocates Of am
early convention is Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg, who by proxy represents Idaho. He
favors holding the Democratic before the
Republican convention.

The history of the case ID as follows:
Last August Mrs. Percival ATTEMPTED to
board an open Puyallup car at Fifteenth

started, throwing her to the street and
breaking the pelvis bone and otherwise
injuring her. She sued the company for

the laws regarding building inspection
called for, as he had never read the iu-

He never had mare report on the. the

no one had ever been assigned to inspect
theaters. He went whenever he pleased.
He believed theater managers had a

right of forcible entry for an inspection.
When asked how he gained entrance he
said Barry gave him authority.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan, l2.-When
the Democratic national committee went
into session at the Shoreham hotel today
to decide upon the date and place for the
national convention there was no one who
could predict with any degree of certainty
as to what would be the result of the
committees deliberations.
When the republican national committee
met here few weeks ago its work had
been cut out in advance and its duties
were largely perfunctory. That such is
not the. case at today's meeting is evil
denced by the wide diversity OF opinion
expressed by usually well Informed lead
ers as to what city will capture the CON
vention and what date will be selected lor

A majority appears to entertain the
opinion that Chicago will get the conven-
ton, but a ST. Louis delegation is on

steamer and perished when the boat was
swamped.
The belief is generally expressed that the
Clallam was not in seaworthy condition

BASEBALL PRESIDENT
MAY LOCASE HERE

There is a possibility that President
Lucas of the Pacific National league may
move his headquarters to Tacoma. The
Spokane fans have heard the rumor and
are throwing several kinds of fits, for fear
there may be some grounds for the re-
port. The fact of the matter is, President
Lucas is very seriously considering the
move because he wants to be located near
the center of the baseball activities and
not away off to one side.
