LUMBER MUST WAIT LONGER
Other Freight Takes Precedence OF
Building Material.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Feb. 81
In response to a demand made by the
lumber shippers of northwest Washing
ton through the Bellingham chamber
of commerce that the embargo on forest
products be raised, Howard Elliotte
president of the Northern Pacific, wir-
ed the secretary of the chamber from
ST. Paul today refusing to lift the en-
barge.
President Elliott declared in his tele-
gram that, owing to weather conditions,
the road has been unable to handle the
traffic offered and that there are now
5000 loads of freight west of the Cas-
cade mountains, consigned to Sastern
points, which must be moved before
further offerings are accepted. Under
favorable conditions this accumulation
should be moved and the company be
able to accept lumber shipments in
about four weeks, though no definite
date can be fixed.

DEFENDING GORMAN'S RECORD

DEFENDING GORMAN'S RECORD
1t is not often that in congressional
eulOgies controversial matters are rak-
ed, up but the members of the snate
who spoke in memorial of the late
Senator German did not hesitate to
defend him from the charge implied
in the famous letter of Mr.. Cleveland
that he wrecked the Wilson tariff bill
in manner that made him guilty of
'perfidy and dishonOr.'
Senator Blackburn, who was lieu
tenant of German, and a close friend
of Senator Carlisle of the treasury,
declared in his remarks that there
never was a change made in the Will
son bill in the senate which did have
the sanction and approval of those
higher in authority than Mr.. German
and himself The inference is that
Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Carlisle or both
approved the insertion of the sugar
duty. Mr.. Cleveland's campaign man
ayers in 1892 had promised it to the
Louisiana planters (this is Mr. Cor
mans testimony of II years ago., and
if it is true then the perfidy and dis
honor would appear to lie at the door
of those who strove to break that
pledge rather than at the door of those
party leaders who iabored to keep it.

C. Wright and her 5-year-old daughter,
Genevieve, were found dead, and the
husband and father unconscious and in
a dying condition this morning, in their
home at 374 South Pearl street, this

Traces of cyanide of potassium were
discovered on all the bodies.
The police secured confession from
Wright tonight in which he is credited
with saying that he poisoned his wife
and child inf order to be rid of them
in order that he might marry another
woman. The police do not believe that
Wright really poisoned himself and de-
clared that he was shamming for the
purpose of drawing suspicion away
from him. Wright was able to walk
about his cell tonight.

CALLS THEM GREEDY.

In commenting on the undertakerS'
bill up for passage at Olympia, the
Spokesman-Review says:
1.-The legislature will render valuable
service to the public by defeating
house bill No. 1874, to establish
state board of embalming." The pur-
pose of this bill is to make still more
binding the undertakers' combine. The
proposed state board of embalmlng
would have five members, three OF
whom would be named by the Funeral
Directors association-th trust. I'm
der the terms of the bill none of these
would be eligible for appointment I'M
less he had had at least five years
experience in this state.
IF this bill should become a law,
no one could engage in the undertake
ing business until he had been grant
ed a license from this state board
in other words. from the Funeral Di-
rectors' association of Washington.
No license would be granted to anyone
who had not had lat least two years
practical experience in the care and
disposition of dead bodies a prOvi-
sion which would impose hardship
in small and remote counties and the
smaller towns of the state. In many
places the undertaking business is
conducted in connection with the fur
niture business. 1t is often the case
that only one man in an entire county
is engaged in the business. If that
man could not make satisfactory terms
with the Funeral Directors associa-
tiOn he could not get license and
there would be no means of burying
the dead of an entire county.
1T is well known that the profits in
the undertaking business are enOr-
nous. Caskets are sold at an advance
of several hundred per cent. The cost
of embalming body is trifle in COM
parison with the undertakers' charges.
In the larger cities of the state many
undertakers have grown wealthy in
few years. Perhaps to no other
business will the public pay such ex-
cessive tribute without protest. When
death invades the family circle, the
breadwinners, however poor their cir
cumstances. do not feel like haggling
! over the undertakers charges.
1T would seem that these peculiar
conditions and the immense profits
growing out of them ought to satisfy
the undertakers and that they would

days tournament is being strenuously
arranged for May "a and 25 on the old
fair grounds below town. The idea is

All that has yet been done in the
matter is to talk of the possible sue
cess of such an undertaking, but the
business men OF Dayton are generally
enthusiastic over the prospect of an
enjoyable two days recreation.
The program that has been suggest
ed for the occasion is to consist OF

bile races and relay running race
for residents of this county only, the
latter race to be run on both days.
Those who are working the matter
up state that meeting will be called
soon to select committees for arranging
for subscriptions, the leasing of the
grounds and on getting up program.
The fast races will have to be by
entries from abroad as Columbia cOun-

But the question of securing races is
only question OF hanging good purses
