CONGRESSMAN
OF SUCCESSOR TO
CUsHMAN UP TO LEGIsLA-
TURE.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OLYMPIA, July 6.-There Is no
law in the state of Washington for
the election or appointment of a
successor to Congressman Cush-
man.
This means that the selection OF
the man to represent the district
in congress will be thrown into
the hands of the legislature when
1t meets in special session August
l. to try State Insurance Commits
sioner ]. H. Schively.
According to the federal consti-
tuion the governor of the state IS
compelled to issue a writ for a
special election in the case of the
death of a congressman. A fed
eral statute also provides that the
legislature shall enact by statute
the manner of such election. The
of Washington has new
er done this, and consequently the
duty will fall to the legislature
which assemblies in special Session
next month.

TWO FRANCHISES
BEFORE THE
COUNCIL

The city council will tomorrow
night have two important railway
franchises to consider, the Mil
wauke franchise on the tideflats
and the changed Hartman fran
chisesfor crossing the waterway at
Fifteenth street.
The Milwaukee franchise has
been held up on account of the
unsettled viaduct proposition. 1t
is possible Eleventh street will be
cut out of the franchise. and 1t
will then be passed.
On the Hartman franchise the
council is bothered. The bridge
the company proposes to give the
public is big thing for the city,
but the council does not like to
make bend in the street, and
the railway engineers say it cam
not be built without.

Glass was scattered through

was unoccupied at the time.
AL lof the windows In Taft's

been learned did not discover any
