STATE LEAGUE TAKES UP The
SUPREME JUDGE MATTER.
Petitions Legislature to Repeal the
Law Taking N0mina tiOnS for Sup.
RENE Court Judges from the Hands
of the People, as Provided In the
Original Law.

SEATTLE, July 10.-Christopher
w. Horr, president of the Direct
Primary League of the state of WASH
ington; William Parmerlee, chairman
OF the direct primary committee of
the King County Bar Association;
Everett Smith, vice president of the
Civic Union of Seattle, and F. A.
Rust, secretary and manager of the
Seattle Labor Temple Association,
have sent the following communica-
tion to the members of the King
county delegation in the legislature:
AT the last regular session of
the state legislature the nominations
of supreme judges were taken from
the people and placed in the hands
of political conventions. All party
platforms declared for direct pri-
maries and over nine-tenths Of the
people were in favor of rule of the
people, by the people and for the
people, Many of the legislators and
most of the people did not know that
the supreme court nominations were
being taken away from the people.
AS the people never asked it, why
was such an iniquitous measure pass
ed by the legislature?
you are servants of the people
and accountable to the people; how
could anyone working for the inter-
ests of the people have voted to place
the nominations of supreme judges
in the hands of conventions which
can be controlled by special inter-
ests? AS important as a thorough
and rigid investigation of all state
Offices is, it is of vastly more i'm
portance to the people of this state
that nominations for supreme court
justices be restored to the people.
Anyone working in the interests of
the people will do all they can at
this special session of the legisla-
ture to restore to the people that
WulCu was WIOuS luIly Idkcn lIOul
them at the last regular session of
the legislature. The people will not
be content with any subterfuges or
evasiOns. @'
Now, we ask of each one Of you
that you write to us and let us know
if you are in favor Of keeping the
pledges of your party platform, your
direct primary pledges to the people.
Are you in favor of restoring the
nominations of supreme court judges
to the people at this special session?
Are you in favor of placing the con-
troll of the supreme court in the
hands of the conventions which can
easily be controlled by special inter-
ests? The people have right to
know how you stand on these mat
ters, and If you are working for
the interests of the people you will
make an early and satisfactory re-
ply to this open letter."

ing, and, mounting chair, slipped
loose the moose and jumped into it.
Receipts and letters found in his
pockets established his identity as
Con Frigor. although he was never
known by any other name than
Charles Henry in the camps he had
worked.
Deceased was filer by trade and
was employed as second filler at the
Porter camp. His fellow workers
knew very little of him. Frigor hav-
ing been employed by the Lytle COM
pany only about month previous
to the Fourth of July, when the con-
had only recommended a day before
the man took his life.
Two letters found upon the body
are written in French and had been
addressed to Frigor in Seattle. Moth
ing could be learned late last night
of the whereabouts of any of his rel
atives or intimate friends.
A number of Tacoma addresses
found upon the body will be commu-
nicated with, in the hope of locating
relatives or friends who will take
charge of the remains, which are at
present in Elma. 81.
Deputy Coroner Fleming fastened
to the scene of death as soon as the
news of the suicide reached him,
and, after making inquiries, de-
cided that no inquest was necessary.
The camp where Frigor took his
own life Is situated two miles from
Porter, which lies between Elma and
Oakville, on the Northern Pacific
railroad.

AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
Thirteen Republicans Wish to Sue
" =, ceed the Late Francis w.

OLYMPIA, July 10-With the an
nouncement of the candidates. of
l. II. Brewer, of HOquiam, and n. b.
Coffman. of Chehalis total of thir-
teen possibilities so far have been
mentioned for the office of represen-
tative in congress from the Second
district in place of the late F. W..
Cushman. The term began with the
convening of the Sixty-first congress
in special session in April and ends
March 4, 1911, the successor to be
elected at the November election in
1910.
The second district consists of the
following counties: Chehalis, CAL
lam, Clarke, CowlitZ, Jefferson, Kick

Skamania, Thurston and Wahkia-

Six of the thirteen Republican can
didates of tentative candidates are
from Pierce county, the county from
which came Mr. Cushman. But the
southwest, which long had clamored
for representation, comes in strong,
also Chehalis having three candidates,
Lewis county two and Thurston one.

mitted.

OLYMPIA, July 10.-J. H. Schive-
1y in his reply, which has been been
fled, denies all Of the charges
against him and asks that 16 sena-
tors be barred from sitting at his
trial, charging that they are pre-
JUDGED.
A specified request is made for the
disbarment of Senator w. H. Paul
hamus Of Pierce county. Schively
claims that Senator Paulhamus is
biased, prejudiced and holds per-
sonal enmity against the accused.
He sets forth that Senator Paulha-
mus joined in the request for an in
vestigation and charges; that on
June 12, while discussing the call
for the special session, he said that
If the sentiment was as strong
among the legislators as he had
found it in his trips, that not one
vote would be cast in defense of
Schively, and that the session would
last only two hours.
Next comes request for the GUST
ing of Senator P. l.. Allen of King
on the ground that Allen, as men,
ber of the committee that investi-
gated the offic> of insurance COM
missioner, signed report express
ing the opinion that Schively was
guilty of high crimes, misdemeanors
and malfeasance while in office, and
that Allen is prejudiced against him
and holds a personal enmity. On
the same ground he requests that
Senator H. o. Fishback of Lewis, al
SO of the investigating committee,
be denied the right to sit as Judge
at the trial.
Shortly after the legislature met
in special session and the house had
passed the Palmer bill, which was
sent to the public morals committee
of the senate, a caucus was held In
the office of Governor Hay for the
purpose, the defense claims, OF get
ting rid Of Schively, by passing the
bill. Efforts were made as a result
of this meeting to secure pledges OF
votes to pass the Palmer bill, and
each of the II, according to the an
swer thereby, disbarred themselves
from acting as fair and impartial
Judges. Those named are Allen, An
derson, Cox, Falsoner, Fatland, NC
Gregor, Meyers, Poison, Stevenson,
Paulhamus and Fishback.
The request of Schively that 16
senators be barred is regarded about
Olympia as bit of humor. There are
only AZ members in the senate, and
It takes 2S votes to return verdict
of guilty in an impeachment trial.
If the 16 were not permitted to vote
and all the others were present, the
roll call would show but rs votes,
or two votes less than the needed
number. Schively had until even
ing to answer. The state must re-
ply by Wednesday night, and then
both sides will have until August II

OLYMPIA, July 9.-It is charged
that a few words were left out of the
anti-cigarette bill, either by acci-
dent or design, which ruined its
strength and robbed 1t of its original
intent. The law as passed reads:
Every person who shall manu-
facture, sell, give away or distribute,
or have in his possession any cigar
cite, cigarette paper, or cigarette
wrappers, shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor
The bill as passed in the senate,
and sent to the enrolling committee,
read:
Every person who shall manu-
facture, sell, give away, or distri-
butte, or have in his possession WITH
INTENT TO SELL, GIVE AWAY OR
DISTRIBUTE, any cigarette, cigar
cite paper or cigarette wrappers
shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
What caused the omission will be
made matter of searching inquiry.
There have been samples of this
kind in former legislatures but this
is the first suggestion of taint that
has come upon the session of 1909.

mental to beauty of form as well as
to health. There is a certain flabbi-
ness which robs a good figure of
charm and grace. Those who are be-
ginning to grow fat rapidly are never
in the pink of condition.
But here medical science has Slip
ped in with a very wonderful remedy
one which not only restores a per-
fectly moulded, form but renews
health and strength, We give the re-
cipe in full for the benefit of our
stoutish friends: IL OF. Marmola,
1-2 ounce OF, Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic and 3 1-2 or. peppermint
water.
Any druggist will make up this
prescription, or supply you with the
ingredients which you can mix your
self The dose is one teaspoonful af-
ter each meal and at bedtime.
The great virtue of this harmless
remedy is that whilst the excess fat is
being expelled, the person under
treatment has a healthy appetite and
does not need to study diatetlcs or go
IN for tiresome exercises, The whole
system Is refreshed" and reinvigor-
Ated, the blood renewed and muscular

BOXING BOUTS
PROVE INTERESTING

At the Oregon theater last night
smoker and boxing exhibition was
given and proved an interesting
event. The affair was under the di-
rection of Dudley Evans, who has a
boxing class in this city. The ma
jority of the woolgrowers assembled
in the city were in attendance and
apparently enjoyed the sport.
Two preliminary bouts were given.
Ed. Williams of Baker City, white,
and Smoky Turner colored, of this
city, were the first to perform. Al
Richardson, the big bootblack at the
st. George, and Gilbert Allen, also
colored, then took the ring and gave
an exhibition that ELECTED much ap-
plause.
A bout between Louis Long, white,
of Oakland, California. and Billie
Butts, colored, of Baker City, was the
main event. 1t was a very interest
ing mill and for a time the outcome
seemed in doubt. However, in the
fifth round Long administered a
short arm jolt that floored his op-
ponent and put an end to the fight.
Dudley Evans served as referee
during the evening.

drove theautomobile over Jackson
boulevard bridge into the river Sun
day, was recovered today and search
ers are hunting for the bodies of

When the machine was raised to

it was going at thirty miles an hour
at the time of the plunge. Cohen had
engaged an auto Sunday during the
storm to take Miss Shapiro home, fol-
lowing a trip down town. Neither
the man nor woman returned home
