TRY TO UNSEAT
COTTER|LL

OLYMPIA, Feb. 12.-The state
senate committee on privileges and
elections has decided that the sta
tute of limitations does not apply
in the contest Joseph Lyons is
making for George F. Cotterills
seat and a hearing will be recon-
mended tomorrow. Witnesses will
be summoned and testimony taken
by a committee consisting of Pres
by, of Klickitat: Graves, Of Spo-
kane Kline, of Whatcom; Jones
and Metcalf, of Pierce.
A lot of dirty linen will be wash
ed, as the charges include ballot
stuffing. false counting, fraudulent
registration and other forms OF
election crime. Cotterill was de-
clared elected by a plurality of two
votes. His reply to Lyons allega-
tions is that the Lyons machine
controlled the election, that the
registration was padded heavily to
elect Lyons, and ballot boxes tam
pered with. Harold Preston will
look after Cotter;ll's interests and
E. C. Hughes, president of the Sc
attic Post-Intelligencer Co., is fight
ing for Lyons.

CRANE MAY Be
NOMINEE

Attorney Charles Lund, chairman
of the republican city central COM
mittee, has called meeting of the
delegates for Wednesday night at
Masonic temple. 1t is said those
who attend the meeting will get to-
gether on a candidate for the nom
nation of mayor and also set a
day for the republican convention.
Efforts are being made to name
George w. Crane, Of the Crane
Shoe Co Crane was assemblyman
last year and made unique repu-
tation-that CT paying his own bills.
With such a record to stand on Mr.
Crane should sweep the convention.
He Is known as clean man all
through. The Waggoner adherents
have given up and turned toward
Crane. WaggOner refuses to make
the race for some reason or other.
The epublican possibilities now
are: John F. Harris, Jack Stewart,
W. G. Estep and George w. Crane.

GRAVES WOULD
GAG PAPERS

OLYMPIA, Feb. IA drastic
measure designed to prevent the
publication, or in effect newspaper
mention. of crime or criminal pro-
ceedings, was introduced in the
state senate yesterday by Graves,
of Spokane. The proposed law
even prohibits publication of police
court proceedings. Penalties of
fines not exceeding $1,000 nor low
er than 800, or six months in Jail,
are provided for infractions. Maxi
mum fines of $3.50 and two months
in jail are fixed for selling or cir
culating newspapers containing
such accounts. The failure of the
prosecuting attorneys to bring ac-
ton for attractions is fixed as
sufficient cause for removal from
office. Offenses are fixed by the
Graves bill as follows:
Any account of or reference to
the commission or attempted COM
mission of the crime of seduction,
adultery or similar crime; any &C.
count of or reference to the eXecu-
ton, burning, lynching or hanging
of a criminal or alleged criminal;
details Of the commission of any
crime; details of any criminal trial;
reports of police court trials or pro-
ceedings; interviews with or &C.
counts of the actions and doings of
immoral women; advertisements of
cures. appliances or treatments for
certain diseases or disorders.
There is believed to be little pos
sibility Of the bill passing even in
amended form.

sFECIAL GETS HIS

Mary Mcnamara, age CO, who has
been in Jail more than a score Of
times for intoXication, created con-
siderable fun for bystanders last
night when Special Policeman
Griffin arrested her. She never
gets too drunk to talk, and the
tongue flashing she gave the
"murtherin', blackguar-rdin', str
rike br-reakin spicial' will long be
remembered by that individual.
Mary wouldn't go to jail and
wouldn't recognize Griffin's author
ity. She refused TO stir and told
Griffin: Garry me darlint. Yez
ARE a foin bit NV lad to he ar
restin' of an ould la-ady, yez ARE" y
A uniformed regular came along
and after argument Mary was in
duced to accompany the special.

There is need for charging the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission along several lines, so
as to give it larger and more
eff cient control over the railroads.
In some method, whether by a ma
tional license law or in other fash
ion, we must exercise, and that at
an early date, far more complete
control than at present over these
great corporations-a control that
will among other things prevent the
evils of great capitalization,
and that will compel the disclos-
ure by each big corporation of it's
stockholders and of it's properties
and business, whether owned di-
rectly or through subsidiary or
through subsidiary or affiliated cor
porations.
This will tend to put a stop to
the securing of inordinate profits
by favored individuals at the ex-
pense whether of the general pub
lie, the stockholders or the wage
workers.
Our effort should be not so much
to prevent consolidation as such,
but so to supervise and control it
as to see that it results in no
harm to the people.
1t is unfortunate that our present
laws should forbid all combinations,
instead of sharply discriminating
between those combinations which
do good and those combinations
which do evil.
Combination of capital, like COM
bination of labor, is a necessary in
cident to our present industrial
system. 1t is not possible COM
pletely to prevent it, and if it were
possible such complete prevention
would do damage to the body
polite
What we need is not vainly to
try to prevent all combinations, but
to secure such rigorous and ade-
quate control and supervision of the
combinations as to prevent their in
juring the public.
1t should be permitted to rail
roads to make agreements, pro-
vided these agreements be sane
toned by the interstate commerce
commission and be published.

voice now would not indicate 1t in
the least. The anthem singing last
Sunday, both morning and evening,
would have been fine had it not
been for you. Just as the music
would come to where it would have
been most beautiful, there would
come your fiat, discordant, hideous
voice, and spoil the whole thing.
You spoiled the singing on rally
day with your awful shouting. You
pay no attention to time or shad-
ing.
II have not anything against
you personally, but don't like to see
the music spoiled. | am not writing
you this for myself, either. There
are dozen of others whose opinions
are just like mine; it is wonder
if you have not heard of it before
this. | am writing this for the
good of the church.

your voice, it is gone now. When
you hit high note, the cold chills

PLAN TO
CURB THE RAILROADS

to be delayed until the Goth con-
gress assemblies next winter-is a
question he has not himself de-
cided.
The evils of excessive overcap-
italization are the presidents chief
concern. There are other matters
which will be treated in the mes
sage, but these are incidental and
secondary in Importance to the
work Of curbing the reckless opera
tions of railway high finan &C."
such as have been brought out by
C. S. Hanks investigations.
The presidents message will dea!
with the revelations contained in
the so-called E. ]. Hartman inquiry
which the interstate commerce
commission has been conducting.
This inquiry began in New York
city, has been continued by Com
missioner Lane on the Pacific coast
and will be concluded late this
month by an examination of Mr..
Hartman himself in New York.
President Roosevelt has been
warned and importuned against
taking any steps at this time look
ing to further railway regulation,
particularly any regulation of the
operations of high finance" He
has been told-and by men who are
his friends-that he will bring dis
credit on the whole American rail
way system. The credit of these
properties, he is told, will be in
iured in foreign money markets,
making it impossible to borrow
money at a time when money for
extension and improvements are
the imperative and increasing de-
mand.
Millions of dollars must be put
into railroads during the next few
years for cars, engines, more track
etc. But already rates for the
money needed have become almost
impossible. Within the past few
