NEAR AUBURN-SISTER Sc
RIOUSLY HURT.

Walking with his sister along
the tracks of the Northern Pa

who lived with his mother and
sister two miles south of Auburn,
was struck by a passenger train
and killed.

was also struck by the train, sus-
tanned a broken arm, and severe
body bruises.
Thompson and his sister were
walking home from Auburn in the
early dusk, when passenger train
No. 2 from Portland, approached

ing bewildered at the two sets of
tracks, young Thompson stepped
directly in front of the rapidly ap-

by the engine. He died almost
instantly.
The remains were taken to Au-
burn, where the funeral will be
held. The young woman was

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 81
Once each year the girl art stu

frolic and tits an event not to be
overlooked by art lovers. A whole
flock of beautiful girls do stunts
before an audience of invited
guests that represent art fanciers
in human form and sometimes

At this years revel Miss Annie
Lang, a statuesque young painter,
is found posing in highly conven-
tional garb, to represent poster
that might be used to advertise
the Delaware peach crop.
In striking costume, also, were
Miss Blanche Reynolds and Miss
Mary Townsend. They posed as

properly personate kings fools.

PLAN
To FIGHT
LABOR
BIG COMPANY PAYS REAL
MINERS TO LOBBY AGAINST
EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
(By United Press Leased wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OLYMPIA, Feb. 3.-"Uncle
Jim" Anderson of the Pacific
Coast company is In Olympia, and
on this particular trip uncle
Jim" Is down to see that the bill
providing for an eight-hour day
Mr.. Anderson is not without ex-
perience in the ways and proc
esses of thought of legislators. and
instead of coming down here
primed with facts, figures and in
disputable arguments, he came ac-
companied by dozen miners,
"men with the powder marks on
their faces"
Mr.. Anderson's friends are min
ers. There is no denying this, and
strange to say, these miners, who
all give evidence of foreign birth,
are violently opposed to the eight
hour day. They apparently yearn
for labor; they long for more
hours of toll, and II they have any
complaint to make against the
Pacific Coast company it is that
that concern does not permit them
to work long enough.
A curious incident in connec-
ton with their presence in Olym-
pit at this time is that their ex-
lpenses, hotel bills, car fare and
the like are all paid by Mr.. Ander-
son. That these miners are repre-
sentative of the sentiments of the
men who work underground for
1.-THE Pacific Coast company, the
labor lobby denies with constant
and increasing vehemence. Fur
thermore, the labor lobby asserts
these miners are picked for this
purpose, and that they will in due
time receive a fitting reward for
their betrayal" of their fellow la
boring men.
1t is worth great deal to the
Pacific Coast company to beat this
law, and this corporation is prob
ably the best represented of any
in the state. The bill is now in
the hands of the committee on
mines and mining, of which Ton
kin of King is chairman. Tonkin
has always claimed to be a labor
man, but he has always been
fought by union labor on the
grounds that he would legislate
for the Pacic Coast company. The
mines and mining committee is
hostile to any labor legislation,
and there is small chance of it's
having any good to say about the
measure.

That immediate action for dam

~ persons directly interested in
the electrocution Monday morn
ing OF John Ohrstrom and Arthur
CharIson, was evinced today when
attorneys already retained by the
plaintiffs appeared before Coro-
ner G.. d. Shaver and made Quer-
lee regarding q possible inquest.
The coroner stated later that in
View OF the fact that the circum-
stances surrounding the tragic
deaths OF the two men would
probably be recited in the super
Tor court soon, he saw no reason
Why the county should bear the
expense Of an official investiga-
tion at the present time.
Open to Suggestions.
Nevertheless, DR.. Shaver made
Il known that II a large enough
number of interested persons ap-
pealed to him to order an inquest,
he would do SO.
For the same reason the cor
oner said that he would not hold
m inquest over the death of Dan
Noonan, killed Friday night in a
collision between a hose wagon
and street car. He said that
owing to damage suits which
would be heard at once, the in
quest would be unnecessary.
For Civil Action.
After an Investigation Of the
case, Coroner Shaver takes the
ground that no criminal careless
ness could be shown in either of
the cases, and that they are, there
fore. matters to be settled by civil
instead Of criminal actions.
Demand Investigation.
Many citizens expressed their
opinion today that an investiga-
tion into the death of the two
men should be held Immediately,
claiming that although an inquest
might not be absolutely necessary,
the blame for the casualties
should be fixed.
