PALMER PLAYING
FOR REVENGE

OLYMPIA, Feb. 3.-The intro
duction by Representative Palmer
of King of his drastic game bills,
to prevent the hunting of game
birds with dogs and to close the
season for nearly all kinds of
game birds for six years, is a bit
of legislative retaliation for the
agitation to stop the bounding of
deer with hounds.
There is little or no chance of
either of the bills becoming a law,
as Mr.. Palmer's attitude and mo-
tive are pretty thoroughly under
stood. OF course, the chaotic con-
dition Of the game situation with
reference to the number and d.
vergence of the bills already in
troduced is such that he may slip
through some retaliatory measure,
but there are lobbyists, all volun-
teers. without number who are
watching this phase of legislation
with the keenest eye.

The last earthly rites over the

killed Friday night when the hose

were produced and the chorus
girls were sternly told to doff
their merry widows, don the
gloves and fight it out. Mr.. Hor-
ner acted as referee. BY this
time the word had spread to other
theaters in the city that a pro-
iessional dispute was to be settled
IN the ring and before time was
called there were nearly 200 spec-
tators in the auditorium. For
three rounds the two girls went
at it. There were all kinds of
stunts attending the would-be
Knockout blows.
Finally. with faces red and
bruised. hair tousled in all direc-
lions, Referee Horner called it n
draw and forced the two bellig-
erents to shake hands. They did
SO reluctantly, and as they were
being led away to fix up they hurl-
led shots that If anything were ever
taken again there would be more
trouble.

RECOMMENDS PUBLICITY
AS CURE FOR ABUSES
OF BIG CORPORATIONS
(By United Press Leased Wire. }.

SUhtSu hNNSS hfNofNu
WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 3.
as a cure for corpora
ton abuses is recommended by
Herbert Knox Smith, commission
er of corporations, in a staten ent
by him made public today. The
commissioner suggests that provis-
ion should be made for a system
of regular reports from the large
interstate corporations and that
the government officials should
have access at all reasonable times
to the records and accounts of
such concerns.
Other suggestions along this
line follow:
Safeguard from publication of
all proper business secrets.
Recognition by the government
of the right to combine under
proper regulation.
That the corporations be under
administrative rather than Judi
cial supervision.

CRIMINAL CODE
BILL COMES
Up NEXT WEEK
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 3.-The new
criminal code will probably come
into the house next Monday, IL
none of the present plans goes
awry. The code is now in the
hands of the printer and is being
rushed as fast as the legislative
demands will permit.
The code will first be given to
the house judiciary committee and
after 1t and the house have had
their fun tearing it to pieces 1t
will be sent to the senate. What
ever amendments 1t receives in
the house are certain to be more
or less mutilated in the upper
body, and what the upper body
does to 1t, will be clawed over by
the lower, SO that an advance
prospect of the code is merely one
|of lacerated effort.
