PAID LOBBYISTS
Drastic Measures Urged by Cow
ernor Hay of the State
of Washington

OLYMPIA. Wash. Aug lin his
was read in. the senate late in the aft
ernoon and placed on file, Governor NJ.
E. Hay, besides advocating the passage
of a direct primary law TO apply to the
filing of vacancies in congress. touches
upon other matters of legislation.
The arrest of Ortis Hamilton former
adjutant general OF the national guard,
on a charge of embezzlement is re-
appropriation of $Ss,6SO for the military
forces Of the state.
NEW STATE CAPITOL
In addition to asking for one new
superior judge and greater leeway for
the state highway board in acquiring
rock quarries. the governor recon-
mends that $4,000 be appropriated TO
continue the survey of the state capitol
granted lands that are to be sold, and
from the proceeds of which new cap
itol to cost between S1,000.000 and
$4,000, 900 is to be built in Olympia.
The governor also recommends the
ratification of the proposed income tax
amendment to the constitution of the
United States.
CONCERNING LOBBYISTS
OF lobbyists Governor Hay writes:
During practically every session of
the legislature since Washington was
admitted to the union special interests
OF one kind and another have main-
tained lobbyists at the state capitol for
the purpose of defeating or rendering
impotent legislation distasteful to their
employers
The presence OF these paid agents
sent for the purpose of corruption has
been an insult TO the legislature and a
discredit TO the state. They seek to
prevent. and frequently have succeed
ed. free expression of the popular
will and. emboldened by their success,
they not only direct their efforts to de-
feating good and wholesome laws. but
have brazenly loaned their support to
vicious legislation.
Obnoxious influence such as this
should no longer be tolerated, and /
especially recommend that you enact a
law placing check upon these people.
providing that when a paid lobbyist
shall come to the capitol he shall first
be compelled to register with the sec
retary of state and shall file a state
ment with him showing by whom he is
employed with a brief description of
the legislation in which he is inter
ested; that within 80 days after the
legislature adjourns he shall file a
sworn statement with the secretary of
state showing in detail all expenses
paid or incurred promised directly or
Indirectly in connection with the leg
islation pending at the late session.

GOLDFIEI-D, New, Aug. 17.-Thomas
Heslip. the mining engineer whose wife
was shot dead by Patrick Casey last
night. committed suicide this afternoon
by taking cyanide of potassium. He
declared his determination to join his
wife. and died almost instantly after
taking the drug.
Mrs. Frank Mann, who was shot in
the groin by Casey at the time he
killed Mrs Heslip. is in a precarious
condition
Infuriated by Heslip's suicide, a band
of citizens organized later in the day,
determined to storm the county Jail in
which Casey was confined and string
him up to the nearest telegraph pole.
and to wreak a similar vengeance on
Martin Sheridan, who has been await
ing trial for wife murder for six
months.
1t was the purpose of the mob to dyn-
amite the Jail. which withstood an at
tack last night, just after the killing
of Mrs. Heslip The plan was defeated
by Sheriff Catalan, however. the pris-
oners being smuggled out of the jail
and carried to Tonopah in automobiles
which were manned by heavily armed
guards.
Because of the fury of the citizens the
district attorney has called the grand
jury to act on both cases without de-
lay, this being the only way to placate
the wrath of the townspeopIe The dis
trict court has promised that the cases
of Casey and Sheridan will be brought
to trial Immediately.

San Franciscans have no idea of
the number of people abroad who
