Mrs. Preston On
Code Commission

County Superintendent of Public In
struction Mrs. Josephine Preston, the
first woman to hold a position on a
committee to arrange the school laws
Of the state, has been appointed in
that capacity to confer with the other
members of the commission.
The code commission was appointed
by the last legislature to rearrange the
school laws of the state and did so,
making many changes in the present
code. These changes met such violent
opposition, especially in Spokane, that
it was deemed best to appoint another
committee to revise the laws recon-
mended by the commission.
This new committee meets in Olym-
pia tomorrow evening; and is COM
posed of Mrs Josephine Preston, w.
J. Hughes, L. L. BenbOw, O. L. Miller
and J. E. McKnown.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Leslie Shaw.
former secretary of the treasury. de-
clared at the Merchants congress last
night that Japan could place 100000
nghtlng men in Hawaii within a
month. He pleaded for a merchants
marine subsidized by the government
He said the powers of the world
laughed at the spectacle of 16 battle
ships starting around the world de-
pending for coal and supplies on 27
colliers, and supply vessel floating for
eign flags, which would have deserted
the ships and left them helpless with
out coal, at the first smell of hostile
powder.
Speaking of powder, he said that if
all the powder mills in the United
States would stop making sporting
and blasting powder, and just turn out
battle powder, they would not make
enough powder so that the navy could
fight two hours a month.

Making Medicine at Olympia
MeigS Would 90 to Congress

it will be impossible for Poindexter
to gain any, recognition in the next
house and he will return home to seek
a denomination with record that will
recemble a vacuum.
Meigs will enter. If one studies the
speakers record he will find that the
east side has been favored in every
thing that eastern Washington inter-
ests have demanded. 1t is extremely
probable that Meigs' interests will re-
suit in giving eastern Washington a
better show than the west side during
the remainder of the session.
This might be construed as a result
of environment, but for the fact that 1t
has become an open secret that the
speaker wants to go to congress. Meigs
unquestionably desires to treat all in
terests fairly, but every now and then
something crops up where the. scales
are given an unexpected turn and
something happens that adds another
ounce or two to the congressional
weight of the Meigs boom.
Members of the two houses know
that Ole Hanson has given birth to the
idea that he is Of congressional tim
ber This, of course, is construed out
side the immediate circle of Hanson
followers, as a joke.
But there is another budding con-
gressional boom that is more serious.
If Congressman F. W. Cushman should
be candidate for senator, it can be
announced with positiveness that Pres
ident A. S.Ruth of the state senate, will
aspire to Cushman's present seat. If
Ruth enters that fight the second dis
trict will see a fight for the nomination
that will be intensely interesting, FOR
Ruth is very popular in the southwest
and probably could win out against al
most any kind of a combination.
Ruth is practical and not insistent
upon his own claims If Cushman
wants to stay in the lower house, he
has no objection to make. If he does
not, then Ruth feels he has a right
to go into the fight He has been
through eight years of legislative life
and is the ranking member in both
houses. He has better acquaintance
than anybody else and cannot be land
ed on any legislative vote for he has
carefully drawn a diagram for each
new step he took and laid a logical
basis for his position.

do with the so-called "unwritten law,
with special reference to the Hains

Care of Child
Involved in Suit

In the superior court today Judge
Thomas S. Rrents is hearing the suit
for the modification of the decree of
dicorce in the case Of Maude D. Barr
against Frank j. Barr. The present
suit is being conducted by the plain
that the defendant, who was given
care and custody of the child by the
decree of divorce, be denied further
custody and that the child be given to
the plaintiff.
The Bars were married in Starbuck,
Christmas day, 1898. They lived to-
gether until December %, 1906, when
a decree of divorce was secured, by the
terms of which the defenant obtained
care of the child, which resulted from
the union Since that time the child
has been in the care of Barr at Star
buck. After getting a divorce from
Barr. Mrs. Barr married r. S.. Erb, Of
Greer, Idaho.
In the present suit the complaint
states that Barr is running a lodging
house of ill fame in Starbuck and that
he is not fit custodian for the child.
He makes counter complaint that the
mother is not fit person to have
charge of the little girl and the case
is being threshed out in court today.
Rev. A. W. Lanningham, Of the
Washington Children's Home society,"
of North Yakima. was a witness in
the case and will probably ask that the
child be given into the custody Of the
home.
