HUSBAND AND
TWO CHILDREN
HUNTING HER


Leaving her two little children
with their father at her home at
Govan, Wash, Mrs. Ethel CrOunse
disappeared March IA. Not word
has been heard from her and SO
far no trace of her has been found.
With the two deserted little ones,
G. H. Crounse, her husband, is now
in Spokane conducting search
for the missing wife and mother.
Mrs. Crounse's age is 81. She is
stout, five feet two inches tall,
weighs about 100 pounds, light
complexion, has dark brown hair
and blue eyes. When last seen
she wore black skirt, blue waist,
a black hat with blue ribbons and
feathers and long black coat.
Mystery surrounds her disap-
.pearance as wei as her motive for
leaving her home and children,
and it is feared by her friends and
relatives that she is not in her
right mind.

THE KIND OF MAN
GOVERNOR [IAY IS

new governor. Fearless, domineer-
ing, rushing breathlessly in where
angels might fear to tread, he fights
with all the power of tremend-
ously vigorous personality, and he
fights to win.
He disconcerts the old line politi-
clans because he conducts all his
campaigns on the theory that a
straight line is the shortest distance
between two points. When he
wants anything he goes straight
after it. The old line politicians
start out to head him off, but they
move in roundabout paths and d.
rections. Even before they get
well started he has arrived at his
destination. 49,.
And he is not playing for political
advancement. A few days ago an
ardent admirer, thinking to curry
favor with the executive, re-
marked:
Governor, Just keep up this pace
and no power on earth can keep
you from being elected governor
yourself next time"
The governor replied: -
1.-THE people of the state will look
after that. 1t is not my business
to conduct an administration for
the effect it will have on the next
election. This job has been showed
upon me, and it Is my business to
handle it to the best of my ability
in the interests of the people of the
state. hope II will give satisfac-
ton, but If It don't, can't help It.

next MAYOR
sENAToR HUTCHINSON RE
WARDED FOR WORK FOR
EQUAL SUFFRAGE AT MEET
ING LAST NicHT-FASSETT
AMONG THOSE PRESENT.

Friends, this is the next mayor
OF Spokane"
With these words Mrs. May Ark
wright Hutton, president of the
Spokane Equal Suffrage league, in
PRODUCED Senator Hutchinson at
the meeting OF the league held aast
night In the assembly room of the
chamber of commerce.
Senator Hutchinson said he ex-
spected to be the next mayor and in
that event would do what he could
toward the cause of woman sur
frage and all other measures for
the betterment of the government.
He had supported the bill in the
legislature to submit the question
OF constitutional amendment to
a popular vote. -
The remarks of Senator Hutch
inson were received with applause
and demonstrations of satisfaction.
Mrs. Hutton said that Senator
Hutchinson had fought for equal
suffrage at Olympia and that they
never had to solicit him for his aid
In the movement--he was in the
battle from the first. That's a
characteristic Of Uncle Dick in a
peoples fight.
j. Grant Hinkle spoke earlier in
the evening. He was in a hurry to
keep other engagements and tar
ried long enough to indorse woman
suffrage and say that If women
had the ballot he believed he would
be the nominee at the primaries.
j C. M. Fassett, candidate for may
or, came toward the close of the
meeting. He told what he would
do If elected mayor. and said he
believed in all laws that bettered
What about women who work
with their hands, Mr.. Fassett,"
asked Mrs. w. M. Wilson, second
vice president of the league. Mr..
Fassett explained that he meant
women as well as men.
Mr.. Fassett paid high compli-
ment to women in general and
Mrs. Fassett in particular, but nice
ly eyaded the question of equal suf-
frage for women He said that be-
ionged to state politics and did not
enter into this campaign. He was
rewarded by very weak applause
on the close of his remarks.
Other candidates for mayor did
not participate in the meeting ar
ranged for them by the ladies.

ANDERSON DENIES
CLUB CONTEST

Editor The Press-I desire to
correct misstatements regarding
myself which appeared last night.
1t misrepresents the club as well
as the attitude of myself and Mr..
farker; and /, as well as the mem
befshfp of the club present that
evening, am at a loss to under
stand how such could find its way
into print. The statement that
there was a contest for leadership
in the club is contrary to every
part of the proceedings.
! did not aspire for either the
craftsmanship of or membership on
the committee. / was not nom
mated, nor did the club ballot upon
my name. AS for the names which
appeared as members of the exec
utive committee, they were all
elected by the same vote and at
the same time. Rev. Mcpherson
and G.. 8. Parker were each elected
by the same vote. AS for the chair
manship of that committee, it is to
be decided today at a meeting to
be held at p. m. The constitution
of our club empowers the execu-
tive committee to elect it's own Off
GERS.
AS for Mcpherson being the
leader of the club, such is abso-
lutelyout of the question. He is
not a voter. He has not been a
resident of this state one year.
. learned today that he had regis
tered. II he attempts to vote l
shall challenge his vote and give
him chance to prove that he did
not perjure himself when he regis
tered.
The only contest that had with
the reverend was over the question
sof grating candidates. He strongly
defended a motion to allow the ex-
ecutive committee to solicit funds
from candidates. just as bitterly
opposed this course, and the club.
by very large majority, sustained
my position. As far as leadership
was concerned. ] did not seek such,
no opportunity was offered any one
Tor such. Whoever furnished the
information misrepresented the
whole matter. Respectfully, George
II, Anderson.

ADAM HAD ONE
TERRIBLE DAY

All mans troubles began with
Adam, it is said, and Adam Knuth,
the transfer man, prasuIaas+y one
of the first man countless name
,sdKss, had his hsare of them yes
terday. In fact, poor Adam was
sort of miscombobulated, or some
thing like that, all day. First, he
came to the police station with
very ordinary looking trunk on his
wagon. Mystery deep and dark
conferred about that piece of bag
gage and Adam, like the first
Adam, was perplexed-he had for
gotten where he got it or where
it was to go, who 1t belonged to
and about everything else concern
ing it. ell wanted to leave it with
Captain Sullivan till someone
called for it, but the tall, smiling
officer refused to let the station be
converted into a storage room, and
Knuth drove home with the mys-
terious thing.
Mystery then perched again on
the disappearance Of one of
Rnuth's teams and a wagon. Once,
twice, three times and perhaps a
fourth he hustled the man at the
humane society bars out of bed by
telephone to ask II that stray team
had been found. Nothing doing
was the answer to all such ques-
lions. All this time the horses
were chewing at hay and grain in
w. J. Cross barn, near the corner
of Boone avenue and Helena street.
They had been found by one
Quimby, eating post hay late last
night not far away from the Cross
place. So

CLOUD over
LYONS.
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
Discussing the withdrawal of the
nomination of Judge Thomas Ly-
ons, Juneau, Alaska, to the first
Alaskan division of the United
States court, Attorney General
Wickersham today declared that
while no doubt Lyons will be able
to clear himself of the charges
against him, the nomination must
be withdrawn until the cloud is
lifted.
He declined to state the nature of
the charges filed by George NOVEL;
of Boston, whose father has large
mining interests at juneau.

them from the floor that the failure
to pass the resolutions means an
extra session of the legislature i'm
mediately."
But such a threat will only make
them nader" replied the messen-
ger.
That's what we want" replied
the governor. snake them mad
enough and they will lose their
heads. Go tell Scott"
The messenger hurried away.
In a few minutes another mes
senger arrived.
THE threat of an extra session
was certainly bombshell,' he re-
ported. THE leaders of the opposi-
ton are panic-stricken. They are
denouncing you on the floor as an
autocrat. They say you are dictat-
ing to the legislature"
Don't mind what they say about
me-" replied the governor. See
only that they pass the resolution
The next messenger brought even
more discouraging tidings.
THE house has passed the resolu-
ton, but in a form that provides
for a general investigation. The
agreement in the senate is for an
investigation of Schively only. The
house resolution cannot pass the
senate. We are beaten"
Wouldn't Admit Defeat.
"No, we are not beaten" snapped
the governor. There are the
names of "a senators on the agree
ment to pass the resolution. We
can lose two of them and still pass
it."
Then came the next messenger.
"The senate is debating the reso-
luton" he reported. "They have
had to send the sergeant-at-arms
after Smithson. He's trying to
sidestep. He is one of the men on
the agreement. Rosenhaupt is abb
sent. He is another one of our
friends. If we lose another vote S's'
are beaten" ..~..''''"s
"If we lose another vote we VIII
have an extra session of the legisla-
ture," replied the governor, and he
rang the bell for his stenographer.
Take this message to the legis-
lature," he continued, speaking to
stenographer, rapidly debating a
call for an extra session. Get that
out as quickly as you can. 1t is
now after II. / must have 1t back
within 80 minutes"
But the message was never sent,
for the reason that the senate came
through with just % votes, not a
vote to spare. The next messenger
reported that President Ruth had
appointed Senator Allen, one OF the
reactionaries, on the investigating
committee. The governors face
clouded. Snatchiag a pad of paper,
he penned this message to Speaker
Meigs: H
"For Gods sake appoint McMas-
ter and HubbeiI on the committee.
an. e. HAY"
The speaker compiled. The COM
mittee was saved to the advocates
OF the investigation by a majority
of one, and the old machine politi-
cal fllibuster against the denomina-
ton of the new deal was defeated.
Always the Fighter.
