HITCHCOCK
GUILTY Of /
CRIME?
La FoIlette's rlagazine
Pats 6. o. p. in Class
With Thorton
Hains

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 15.-That
Hitchcock, chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, in inter-
fering with the senatorial situa-
tion in Oregon Is as 'heinous as
the crime said to have been COM
mitted by Thornton Jenkins
Hains, whose trial at Flushing,
l.. l., has just closed, is the bur-
den of an editorial which will APP
pear tomorrow in the second issue
of Senator LaFollette's magazine.
The editorial will say chat:
Thornton Hains Is on trial for
advising the commission Of a
crime and Frank H. Hitchcock,
who is also widely accused of ad-
vising the commission of a crime,
is guilty of one equally as helm
Gus.
''It is said that Hitchcock has
actively endeavored to induce the
legislators of Oregon to violate
their promise to support the can
didate for the United States sem
atorship receiving the most votes
at the primaries. If both men
are supposed to be guilty, the
only difference between them is
one of courage. For Haines'
crime. If he is found guilty, the
law provides penalty, but the
one charged against Hitchcock is
unpunishable.
I'VE decline to suppose that
Hitchcock is guilty. In view of
the fmpossibility of legal vindica-
tiOn 1t would seem that he can
do no less than deny the asper-
sion."

Two Men Are Carried In,

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 10.
While running at full speed the
locomotive of the west-bound Can
adian Pacific railway freight train
struck snowslide at Three VAL

the rails, jumped down an en-
bankment and plunged into the
lake, carrying its engineer and
fireman with It,
1t is presumed that both men
were pinned in the cab of the en-
gine. could not escape and were
drowned. Three Valley lake is
just west of Clanwilliam station.
Information as to the identity
of the two men Is being withheld
by the authorities, pending the
receipt of advices which will con-
firm beyond doubt their reported
deaths.
1t is reported, however. that
Coughlin was the engineer, but
the identity Of the fireman can
not be learned.
Several freight cars Immediate
ly behind the engine were derail-
ed, but did not fall over the en-
bankment.
The slide is reported as being
from 80 to so feet wide and quite
large in voiume. It was caused
by the comparatively mild wealth.

RIVERS RISING

White river valley are rising

ICE FALLS
THROUGH
ROOF

Dropping from the roof OF an
adjoining three-story building, a
75-pound icicle crashed through
the skylight of Charles Drury's
tailoring work-room this after
noon, sending a shower of glass
over the dozen women at work,
and narrowly missing two women
seated at sewing machines.
One employe was severely cut
by the flying glass. The shop is
in one-story building at ia So.

rectly over the workroom, and is
overshadowed by a three-story
building. That the huge mass of
ice did not strike one of the en-
ployes is almost q miracle.

FLOOD DANGER
IS IMMINENT
Warm Winds and Rain Swell PuyaIlup River
and Other Streams-Cold Snap Left
Suddenly Mercury Now Near SO Mark
Railroads Not Yet Hampered


With 20 feet of snow on the
mountains, with rain coming sted-
fly and with warm winds from
the southwest in prospect for to-
night, the Puyallup valley is fac
Ing the possibility OF another
The break in the cold snap came
suddenly last evening. The tenn
perature was 26 degrees yesterday
morning and at 10 o'clock today
It was 4S, and the mercury was
still going up. The weather man
says the indications for tonight
are for rains and southwest winds.
Streams Rising.
1t was showing in the Cascades
this morning and raining in the
valleys. The rain and melting
snow began to tell on the streams
and this afternoon they were all
reported rapidly swelling. With
the small streams all full, If a
Chinook wind now hits the NOUN
tains and melts down the great
coat of snow there the chance for
tremendous destruction through
the Puyallup and Duwamish val
leys is good.
Trains Not Delayed.
The Puyallup was running slug
gishly along this morning with a
sort of sullen threat in its muddy
waters. Up to noon 1t had not
risen enough to be dangerous.
Railway men said there was no
trouble up the line. Both the
Northern Pacific and T. r. & P.
report no trouble. No washouts
nor snowslides had taken place
up to noon that were dangerous,
and Northern Pacific trains came
through from the east today near
ly on schedule.
Conditions are more favorable
for the valley now than in Mo-
vember, 1906, when the last great
flood came through, which flooded
over $4,000 acres. Then the en-
tire month previous had been
continuous deluge, which COM
pletely saturated the watershed
and filed all the streams to their
top. Then came a tremendous
rainfall. accompanied by a Code
gree temperature up in the noun
tains and the great hills simply
poured their melted snow in a
stream over the valleys.
Now the rivers are normal to
start with and the ground is not
soaked. But to offset this there
lis heavy covering of snow ev-
erywhere and some warm winds
with heavy rains would make
trouble, 1t is feared.
If the rain increases in intensity
and the weather warns up enough
to send the snow off the noun
tains trouble may be expected
about Saturday night and Sunday.

Z CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-To win
the prettiest girl he ever saw,
Roswell Boulton Peck, a hot
blooded young Texan, made fy-
ing cross continent trip hand in
hand with Daniel Cupid. His
lady love is dainty singer who
appears as Mabel Fay on the pro-
gram, but whose real name is
Ethel Hamlin. She is the daugh-
ter OF a New York lawyer.
Lochinvar Peck, who came out
of the southwest, is the 19-year-
old son of Zacharias N. Peck, a
ranch owner and oil king Of Ira
visco, near Abercombie, Texas.
His father gave him a plentiful
roll and started him on a trans
and European trip to
acquire world knowledge.
The young man got as far as
Gotham when the vision of Miss
Hamlin dawned upon him in a
dsarnstown playhouse. DreanH OF
ETrope vanished before the allur-
ing reality.

suppers, midwinter flowers and
gay life from New York to st.
Louis and St. Louis to Chicago, IN
one entranced whirl, marked the
career of young Peck.
Not much of the roll was left
when the oil king finally drew
in the boys tether In Chicago
Accompanied by two detectives
the elder Peck burst into the
youths presence at the stage door
of the, Auditorium theater and
took him into custody.
Roswell Boulton baked like a
Texas. mustang at first, but Father
Peck was a brpncho buster in the
early days and soon had the young
man responding to the check rein.
He wasn't such an awful bad
dad, though. He gave the young
people q few moments to talk 1t
over alone and during the hon.
eyed interval before parting, Miss
Hamlin is said to have agreed to
wait couple of years"
The young woman made a Ia
vorable impression on the oil
king, and a wedding will likely
follow soon.

UNION LABEL is THROWN OUT

THE HATTERS QUIT WORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Seven-

approximately $4,000 persons,
will be affected by a decision of
the Associated Hat Manufactur-
ers' association, promulgated to-
day, disseminating the use of the
union labor at all factories rep
resented by the association.
Following the announcement
of this decision. strikes were or
dered in the factories in Orange,
N. j., employing 1000 hatters,
and also in Brooklyn, N. Y, where
500 hatters are employed.
Samuel Mundheim, president of
the Associated Hat Manufacture
ers, stated that the vote for the
abrogation of all union contracs
was unanimous. He declared that
the union labor was thrown out
of the factories on account of
the employees of the Grier Hat
company at Philadelphia failing
to keep their working agreement.
