the nomination they do not know,
but they are very optimistic.
The members of the club have had
considerable discussion as to the ex-
pediency Of writing Francis ]. Heney's
name on the ballot as their candidate
for district attorney. Although no
action has been taken, it is probable
that the club will advise all demo-
Gratis to do this. Heney was the for
NAL choice of the club for the demo-
cratic nomination. until the decision
of the supreme court in the direct
primary case compelled the relinquish-
ment OF his name.

$4,000 MEN ARE WANTED
IN THE HARVEST FIELDS
Use of Alien Labor Suggested
by Government

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Fifty thou
sand able bodied men are wanted in the
harvest fields of the west to take care
of the bounteous crops.
Farmers are literally begging
for help, according to officials of
the department of commerce and labor,
whose functions in part are to find
employment for throngs of aliens who
come into this country.
The officials are almost powerless,
because of the nearly penniless condi-
ton of many of the immigrants. As
sistant Secretary McHarg of the de-
partment of commerce and labor sug-
gests that the railroads transport
aliens west at actual cost as their
profit would come in hauling back the
tremendous product of the aliens

The municipal league of independent
republican clubs is preparing to launch
a vigorous campaign for Byron Mauzy
and the rest of its primary ticket. At
a meeting held yesterday afternoon in
the headquarters of the league in the
Mills building, the organization of a
finance committee was started and it
was determined to strengthen the dis
trict clubs as much as possible.
The meeting was attended by the
members OF the advisory committee, Of
which George E. Crothers is chairman.
committee. which is headed by DR..
William ]. Jackson.
The fact that the petitions of the
various candidates filed with the regis
trar of voters contained from $500 to
2,100 affdavits for each candidate, al
though less than q thousand were need
ed to satisfy the requirement of the
law, was declared by the committeeman
to be a circumstance tending to the
favorable attitude of the voters to-
ward the candidates of the league.
Organization for the campaign will
start with the formation of a finance
committee. Several men were named
for this committee yesterday. but its
personnel will not he made public until
the list is complete. 1t was the sense
of the meeting that the assembly dis
trict organisations should be continued
and that as many names should be
possible.
PLANS VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
The San Francisco democratic club,
the anti-McNab organization, is also
preparing to wage a vigorous campaign
for its ticket. The executive commit
tee has decided to hold meetings
throughout the city. The complete plan
of campaign will be formulated next
Friday night at meeting of the exec
utive committee to be held in the office
of Harry Sullivan. president of the
club. in the Humboldt bank building.
The club has decided to contest the
control of the democratic convention
with the McNabites clear down the
line. The convention will frame the
platform of the party and will choose
the county committee for the ensuing
two years, so its control is deemed
worth lighting for. Delegate tickets
will be named in all the districts and
the workers of the club will redouble
their efforts TO wrest a few more dis
tricts from McNab. The ants are con-
f1dent, and some of the leaders declare
that the club viii not only hold all the
districts. including the thirty ninth
which were taken from the McNab or
ganization last year, but will add a few
more to the collection.
The ants are engrossed in -calcu-
lating Supervisor Ralph McLeran's
chance of winning Hne mayoralty
nomination. They declare that the
candidacy of former Supervisor Ed
ward r. Rock will be to their advan-
tage. They think that Rock will draw
votes from Leland and not from Nc
Leran. Whether Rock will draw away
enough votes to let McLeran capture

METAL EXCHANGE WILL
REVISE SOME METHODS
Quotations to Be Based on Ac-
tuaI Transactions

NEW YORK, July zO.-Following the
recommendation OF the White commit
tee 70 Governor Hughes the reform
committee Of the New York metal ex-
change proposes in the report which II
has submitted TO the board of managers
that the quotations should be estab-
lished by actual transactions, as on
other exchanges of the highest order,
and therefore urges discontinuance Of
the present daily quotations made by
the committee Of FIVE of the metal ex-
change. which were criticised in the re-
port of the special committee appointed
by Governor Hughes.
The report OF the reform committee
further advocates:
The establishment in this city of a
standard copper system under which
al the present brands of copper
'electrolytic,' lake" and Casting
be included under the one term of
standard copper" subject TO the fol-
lowing specifications as TO delivery on
contract.
Sellers viii have the option of max
ing deliveries either in:
Glass A-Rehned copper. assayed at
not less than SO per cent. and below
$3.50 per cent in actual contract price.
Class B-Refned copper. assaying not
less than $3.50 per cent and below
$3.50 per cent at one-tenth cent per
pound above contract price.
Class C-Assaying not less than
$3.50 per cent at 4 cent per pound
above contract price
Class D-Rough copper, subject TO
a rebate of IS cent per pound from

ing pointed out that in 1908 55.4 per

interview he had with Sutton's sister,
Mrs. Hugh A. Parker, shortly after
young Sutton's death.
Davis went over the scene of the
shooting again with Lieutenant Adams
and dwelt on the details of distances
and time in an effort to place the ex-
act spot where and the time at which
Sutton was shot
The witness could only remember ap-
proximately these details. He said he
was sure Sutton wore an overcoat, and
did not remember Sutton taking it
off any time previous to the first alter
cation between him and Sutton, when
they both stripped to the waist pre-
paratory to lighting.
The. lawyer read excerpts from Lieu
tenant Adams testimony at the first in
quiry and pointed out some of the dis
crepancies
The witness insisted however the
testimony seemed to vary. that his an
swers at the present inquiry were the
correct ones.
Il want you to state again il you saw
Lieutenant Sutton kill himself" Davis
asked.
AS I have said. / saw Sutton draw
a revolver from under him in his right
hand like this illustrating the notion
turn his head to the right, and IRE.
saw the fash jump about six inches"
the lieutenant replied.
Davis pressed the question as 10
whether Sutton fired the fatal shot with
the large service revolver or the small
one.
1T wasn't very light" said the lieu
tenant. but it was my idea that he
shot himself with a small revolver"
INTERVIEWS WITH SISTER
Davis questioned the witness in re-
gard to his interviews with Mrs. Park
err. Sutton's sister, soon after Sutton's
death.
Did Mrs. Parker ask you at that
time to make statement of the truth
of this whole AFFAIR." asked Mr.. Davis.
The witness said he believed she
did.
Did you make such a statement
mo, SIR said Adams.
Assuming that you did make a
ward tell you that 1t was not the
TRUTH" asked Mr. Davis.
Adams said he did not remember
making such statement.
The statements Davis credited the
witness gave a somewhat different YER
sion of the tragedy than that which
Adams has given on the witness stand.

FISHERY JURISDICTION
Agent Goes to Hecate Strait to
Study HaIibut Industry

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 2O.-H. r.
venning, superintendent of fisheries of
Canada, left Prince Rupert this morn
ing in a special government steamer,
accompanied by party of coast fishery
officials to study conditions respecting
the halibut industry in Dixon entrance
and Hecate strait.
The trip is for the purpose of assist
ing Canada to assert her claim to juris-
diction over these waters, basing the
contention on the Alaska boundary
award and general principles of inter

of the privilege of allowing American
fishermen to buy bait in Canada har-
bors was simply enforcing the pro-
visions of the convention of 1918 be-
tween Great Britain and the United

Democrats Put Up John w. Hanna
Against j. G. Brennesholtz,
Republican.

Waterville, June 1.-THE demo-
cratic central committee met Satur-
day afternoon and selected John W.
Hanna as their candidate for repre-
sentative. Mr.. Hanna is a lawyer of
ability and has a good clean record
as a man. He was the candidate at
the November election and for a
number of days it was thought he
was elected over F. T. Campbell, the
republican nominee.
The republican county central COM
mittee chose J. Charles Brennesholtz
as their candidate. Mr.. Brennesholtz
is a prosperous farmer living near
town. He is a progressive man and a
representative citizen. He is the
true representative of this agricultu-
raj county. The Farmers Union has
twice elected him as it's president.
The special election for these can
didates is called for next Saturday,

CANNOT SAVE THE
TREES
DOUGLAS STREET RESIDENTS
AFTER MEETING LAST NIGHT
DECIDED THAT 1T Is NOT
PRACTICAL TO SAVE THEM.


Many residents OF Douglas street
have been protesting against the ne
cessity of having to cut down the
splendid shade trees on that avenue
to make way for the grading, level
ing and sidewalking of that street.
The contract for the wsrk has been
let and already active operations
have been started on this. The resi-
dents hal meeting last night in the
Office of the Wenatchee Realty &
Investment company and many plans
were submitted to save the trees but
these were not deemed practical and
the unanimous decision was to allow
the contractors to proceed with the
plans as they were first agreed upon.
There may be a few trees that can
be saved, those that are ON the
grade and those that come within the
parking strip, but most of them will
have to be cut down.

81 AULD|NG CON-
PANY TO CONTEST
WELL KNOWN BUGGY COMPANY
WILL TEST RECENTLY ENACT.
ED PEDLERS' LAW-WILL co
TO SUPREME COURT.

Resenting the requirement of a H.
cense for carrying on its business In
this state, the Spaiding Manufacture
ing company Of Grinnell, Iowa, will
at once attack the new pedlers' IL
cense law through the federal courts,
setting up the claim that it is an
interference with the interstate COM
merce law. Prosecuting Attorney G.
F. Vanderveer of Seattle, at a con-
ference with counsel for the COM
pany has assentei to a stipulation
for friendly test case.
The company sends its agents into
the various states, who drive through
the country with string OF buggies
and light wagons. taking orders by
sample. When their work is complet-
ed. the company forwards the goods
In carload lots, distributing point
is fixed upon and all orders filed
from it.
The new law graduates the amount
of license to be paid by companies
outside the state, and requires a fee
Of 5000 for a vehicle drawn by one
horse, $500 for a two-horse buggy
and $500 for one with other locomo-
tion, referring particularly to auto
mobiles.
The Spaliing company in 1905
made test case Of the old law, and
succeeded in having 1t knocked out
in the supreme court. In the pres
ent case it may attack the law In
the federal court through habeas
corpus proceedings for any or all of
it's agents who are arrested for vio-
lating the law.
