MOTHER URGED LOUISE
NOT TO GO ON TRIP


"WSs it destiny?" asked we'll
known friend of the Harris family.
The discussion had turned on the trag-
ic death of Louise in the Clallam dis
aster. Ihe Press informant contin-
ued:
There seems to be a strange fate
surrounding the death of this beautiful
young Spokane girl"
I'm what way"
Her mother had a premonition OF
disaster, l am told, and refused to
allow Louise to go. 1t was entirely
against the wishes of Mrs. Harris that
Louise finally started. Miss Harris
begged for week to be allowed 10
visit friends on the sound. The young
lady ordered her travelling dress, but
had specified no special time when
it was to be furnished.
AT last, the mother gave reluc-
tant consent.
Miss Harris then fastened to the
dressmaker to have the dress finished,
as soon as possible.
Miss Harris took the steamer at
Seattle ON unlucky Friday. She in
tended to visit friends at Victoria.
The report that Miss Harris was not
well in health is u mistake. She was
in excellent spirits, was happy at the
thought of pleasure trip"
"What was the last dress?'
"a walking skirt Of fine grey mate
rial, with steel grey silk waist to
match. She wore n pearl necklace of
which she had always been fond. Her
beautiful diamond rings were on her
hands when the body was found

C0RMAN IN The LEAD

WASHINGTON, 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 COM
mittee's deliberations. When the
republican national committee met here
a 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 eviden-
ced by the vide diversity of opinion
expressed by usually well informed
leaders as to what city will capture
the convention and what will be the
date selected for the gathering. a
majority appear to entertain the opin-
ion that Chicago will get the conven-
ton. but St. Louis delegation is on
hand with strong plea, and there
