CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-A bitter fight
was waged today between the
transcontinental carriers and the
trunk line freight association over
a change proposed by the associa-
ton in the method of delivering

The transcontinental roads de-

the association that the original

where the goods are delivered.
Where shipments are diverted from

ones, and that they be graded ac-
cording to their degree of cleanli-
ness.

M|LL|0NA|RE'S
DEATH To Be
PRObEO

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-Au-
thorities are investigating the sud-
den death of David j. Baird, a
young millionaire, whose estate is
claimed by a woman known as
Dodie Valencia, who is reported to
have lived with Baird and bore him
a son.
Following a carousal at beach
resorts the night preceding his
death at his home, rumors of foul
play were brought to the attention
of the authorities.
A mysterious voice over the tele-
phone advised that Baird's stom-
ach be examined. The organ was
turned over to the city chemist.
The filing Of the Valencie wom-
ans petition for letters of guardian
ship over the child is paving the
way for a bitter fight over the ST.
100000 estate left by Baird.
Upon the completion of the ex-
animation of Baird's stomach to-
day, Chemist Green was unable to
find anything of suspicious ma
ture. It's condition was normal.
However the coroner is not salts
fed that his death was natural.

Although national apple show
arrangements today are in the dis
order of final preparation, apples
scattered everywhere, carpenters
and others hard at work, by Mon
day morning things will be in
shape for the great event, which
will be started for the ensuing
week by President Roosevelt, who
will touch tn button in the White
House which connects with the
fire whistle here.
When this whistle begins its
resonant tOot, other whistles. bells
hnd noise making devices will also
be started, and then you will know
that the big apple show, designed
to place the big red apple, the vel
bow and multicolored ones, in their

energy and enterprise.

Intending everything himself, and
with the aid of an energetic corps
of assistants is gradually bringing
out of evident chaos a show which
will be famous not only as the
FIRST of its kind, but one Of the

Great crowds of people visited
the show today. although the doors
have not been thrown open to the
general public. So thick were the
crowds at times that workmen
were considerably bothered. This
argues well for the attendance
next week.
There are probably 100000
apples in place, on the cars, in
boxes about the buildings and en-
route. The air Is permeated with
the apple smell and the displays
already in place make ones mouth

Apples of every known variety
are there. There are apples from

ROOT AND GORDON A
SACRIFICE To SHIELD
CRIME Of RAILROAD
Lawyers Look Higher Up in Search for
Evidence Of Court Corruption.

Well informed lawyers today
say that the legal department of
the Great Northern is willing to
sacrifice both Root and Gordon if
they can keep the company or some
of it's higher officials who are said
to be behind the alleged corruption
and bribery in the Root-Gordon
matter from being dragged into the
mire and exposed.
L. c. Gilman, general western
counsel of the company, is believed
to have turned over to the bar in
vestigation copy of all of Judge
Gordon's correspondence as on file
in the company's Office in Spokane.
It is said that the Great Northern
feared to lead off in the exposure
Of Judge Gordon itself but finally
gave out information as to his al
legged shortage that eventually led
to the exposure that brought on the
bar investigation. No wit is re-
ported that the Great Northern
realizes it is in a compromising
position and that the best thing it
can do is to help throw the blame
on Gordon and Root and shield
itself as much as it can.
If this attitude Of the Great
Northern is correctly reported, it
is limited that such pressure will
induce Judge Gordon to make a
clean breast of his knowledge of
court and legislative Irregularities
as the confidential disbursing
agent and advisor of the Great
Northern which will be a revela-
ton the like of which the people
of the state of Washington have
never had laid bare to them before.
Judge Gordon has, 1t is reported
on pretty reliable authority, already
placed in the hands of his friends
documentary evidence that will
make exceedingly interesting read
ing and will be given to the public
il it becomes necessary.
Theh talk of the possibility of
the suicide of Judge Gordon, which
he is said to have threatened at
the time his alleged shortage was
first reported, is again revived, and
Seattle report says he tried to
kill himself three weeks ago in the
Butler hotel In that city by
asphyxiation. Even In such an
event 1t is thought that all Of the
correspondence that he entrusted
tot his friends for use in such an
emergency would come out, If it
is not sooner suppressed or de-
stroyed through railroad influence.
Judge Milo Root, politicians as
sert, was placed on the supreme
bench of the state at the solicita-
ton of ]. D. Farrell, then political
manager for James ]. Hill in Wash
ington. Farrell has since gone
over to the Hartman interests.
Roots selection for the supreme
bench was also endorsed by the
Seattle Electric Co., the corpora
ton owning the street railway sys-
tenn of Seattle and those who fol-
lowed Judge Roots career on the
higher bench say the records will
show that the Seattle company
never lost a case in which Judge
Root wrote the opinion.
In one decision in favor of the
Seattle Electric Co., that in which
the supreme court reversed judg-
ment for $4,000 damages entered
in the Raven case in the lower
court, the attorneys for Raven have

The cars were running at full

Lake and Edgar streets.
The accident occurred ON 8

The front vestibules of both cars

pitched forward IN heaps. Several
