REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES NOT
BOUND TOGETHER IN SINGLE
CAMPAIGN.
Mead Will Go it Alone and the Other
Nominees Will Shift for
Themselves.

SEATTLE, June lee. 3. Palmer,
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee has not yet announced the list
of his committees, nor has he selected
the permanent headquarters for the or
ganization. Mr.. Palmer has gone to
Spokane on political business, and
when he returns it is announced by
friends that he will give out the list
of his appOintees.
Under the decision of the state COM
mittee Mr.. Palmer is a man of peculiar
and unlimited authority. He is au-
thorized to name his own secretaries
and may fill up all the committees. He
is virtually a dictator in organization
affairs and unless he desires to do so,
need not call the state committeeman
into conference at all.
Members of the state committee are
chatting under his arrangement. They
were strongly opposed to Palmer's con-
ference with the state candidates on
matters of minor Importance, and the
pink tea idea of conducting a political
campaign. Moreover, none of Palmer's
policies have found favor
The republican state convention was
called early, politicians of that party
insist, for the purpose of making an
aggressive campaign, no matter which
way the result of the railroad fight
might direct the party. Palmer threw
away this advantage and at his con-
ference with the nominees elected to
assume the defensive.
Instead of taking up the issue that
had been forced upon the convention,
thing that had been done, and then
undertake to disprove assertions that
it had been accomplished.
The announcement of the result of
Palmer's conference with the candi
dates Disguised republican leaders gen
orally. They have held that it was a
the first place and an absurd thing to
adopt the campaign plans suggested.
The only satisfaction republican poll
ticians have gotten out of the meeting
is that Palmer was too weak to con-
tinue his Coon fight.
The action of the conference in pass
ing up to Mead the task of meeting the
attacks upon the republican state tick
ct will have the result of forcing the
friends of Mead to organize their own
campaign committee. They have no
confidence in Palmers ability to make
state fight and have been working
all along on independent. lines. Now
that the other candidates and Palmer
have virtually told Mead that he will
have to shift for himself his friends
will pay comparatively little attention
in the future to the state chairman.

Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky,
Mississippi, West Virginia and the Ca

flower bedecked carriages rode the
sponsors and maids of honor, who came
to Nashville from all over the south

grouped according to departments and
divisions. This part of the parade
made a beautiful picture and received
much applause.

TIES STUDIED BY SCIENTISTS
Valuable Discoveries Made by Bureau
of Forestry.

The annual consumption of ties on
country is 114,OO0, 900, and it is yearly
becoming harder to meet this demand
Granite, metal and more recently, con-
crete ties have been experimental
with, but nowhere permanently adopt
ed, and the indications are that wood
en- ties are not soon to be replaced.
The bureaus of forestry of the de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time been making studies and expert
ent conditions and to prevent the ex-
haustion of the timbers from which
ties are made. The aim of the invest
igation has been to make possible the
utilization of cheaper and more abund-
ant kinds of timber in place of the
high grade woods now employed.
The bureau believes it has solved the
problem. 1t was found that preserva-
tive treatment of ties has long been

zinc chloride or other antiseptic sub
stances allows the use of many woods
hitherto passed over, as we'll as of
sawed ties, sap-Wood and dead tim
Der. Preservative treatment can make
a beech or red oak or pine tie outlast
a white oak tie.
In the use of these softer woods it
was found, however, that the good Ell
fects of the use of preservatives was
nullified by the wearing away OF the
softer fibers under the rail and around
the spike. The bureau believes it has
found the solution of this difficulty by
the use of a screw spike in place of
the commonly used nail spike. In the
soft woods the screw spikes Will re-
sist nearly three times as great a STRAIN
as nail spikes. If inserted in a screw
dowel of hard wood. the power OF the
screw spike is still greater. A Key
operated by two men, hand-poWer
screw spike driving machine, or ma
chine with electric power may be en-
plOved to insert screw spikes.
The bureau of forestry is making
ARRANGEMENTS for the extensive intro
duction of these appliances, the need
of which has developed so conspicu-
ouslv in the brief experience with

YOUNG CORBETT SPEAKS OUT
Regulates Agreement to Remain Idle
Until Next December.

The expected has happened. Young
Corbett' refuses to abide by the agree
ment to box no one until after a return
match with Jimmy Britt. Here is his
decision as he announced in an inter-
view in New York a few days ago:
Il think Pollock made a mistake in
Britt. McGovern and Halon all in the
same month. Britt is the fellow 1 am
particularly anxious to meet and if l
fail to stop him in twenty rounds I
don't want cent of the receipts.
This is a pretty fair offer and it
shows what | think of the wouldbe
champion. l will meet any man of my
weight in the world regardless of what
articles Britt holds Why should l re-
main idle and await his pleasure?'
Corbett Needs Money.
This means that the return match
will be declared off as soon as Cor
bett signs to meet some one besides
Britt, and that the rivals will do no
end Of talking before they face one an
other again in the ring.
The truth Of the matter is that
Young Corbett' needs money. De-
spite his denials, he lost a large bunch
of money playing the California races,
and weighed very light financially
when he started east.
When at last the date is set for an
other COrbett- Britt match. the friends
of the little Denverite will insist that
he let he ponies alone They believe
hat worry over the gallopers kept him
from getting into the best possible
condition for his last meeting with
Britt, and that because of his financial
troubles he was OVer-anXious to win.
Plunees On the Races
The week of the fight he lost $500
and on that very afternoon preceding
his entry into the ring he contributed
$500 to the bOokmakerS
In the same interview in which
Young Corbett" declares his inten-
tons to make matches regardless of
the Britt engagement, he again paid
tribute to the provinces of Joe Cans.
Il have been greatly amused at Britt's
fathers declaration that his boy must
never fight a negro. He's wise. Cans
can beat both Britt and myself in the
same ring and not half try"

DUNLAP, THE NOTED CROOK,
GOES BACK TO CITY OF
DESTINY.
Was Recently Released From the State
Penitentiary Where He Did
Long Term.

TACOMA, Wash, June 16.-Joe
Dunlap, one of the most dangerous
crooks ever sent to Walla Walla from
Pierce county, has again been seen in
the city, and was recognized by par
ties who saw him buying dope" at a
local drug store, as we'll as on the
streets.
Notwithstanding his meteoric career
here, less than half a dozen years ago,
there was no picture or description of
him in the local police records until
Chief Maloney's attention was called
to the report that he was in the city,
when his picture was put in the album
and every officer given chance to
look at it.
Dunlap was sent to Walla Walla for
burglarizing Hohenschild's dry goods
store, and carrying away two or three
wagon loads of silks and other high
class goods. after he had given reports
before the grand jury accusing a score
of prominent and we'll known business
and professional men with being asso-
ciated with him in the burglary, and

who had the confidence of the local pO

guilty to justice.

ATTEMPT TO BURN PRISON
Convicts Plan to Destroy San Quentin
Penitentiary Frustrated.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE
Call today says wholesale Jail deliv-
cry and the destruction of more than
$500, 900 worth of the states property
has been attempted at San Quentin
prison. There have been three sepa-
rate attempts made within about as
many weeks to burn down the jute
mill. The first attempt was on Satur-
dav afternoon, May p, and by the
merest accident We're the plans frus-
trated.
The plan evidently was to set the
mill on fire. Then while the prison Of
ficials were excited and the guards
busily at work attempting to stay the
progress of the flames, the convicts
were to make a break for liberty. The
captains office was to be the objective
point of attack. While more apparatus
was being brought inside the walls,
the gates would have to be opened.
At that time it was the plan of the
convicts to overcome the guards and,
together with Captain Harrison, Turn
kew Swan and a number of guards as
a shield from the rifle fire, force their
way to liberty.
Three Attempts Made.
There were three attempts made to
burn the mill. The first one was be-
tween 2.3O and o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon, May 81. AS is the custom,
the men in the mill quit work at 2:3O
on Saturdays At 4:45 o'clock they
are locked up. There are over 500
convicts employed in the mill.
on the day in question, all hands
had left the mill, including the
guards. Two of the guards returned
and went to the back Of the mill. In
