NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Seattle, February 2.-Every sub
stantial citizen Of the state Of Wash
ington who is interested in the good
roads movement should attend the
next meeting of the Good Roads asso-
citation, which will be held in Aber-
deem February 1924. The Northern
Pacific and connecting railroads have
announced that they will sell tickets
for one and one-third the regular rates.
Those who attend the convention
should, in buying their tickets to Abb
erdeen, get certificate from the ticket
agent; this certificate, when presented
to the ticket agent at Aberdeen, en-
titles the holder to a return ticket for
one-third the regular fare. From pres
ent indications the convention will be
a lively one. There is decided diff
ference of opinion among good road
advocates as to just what kind of roads
should be built at the expense OF the
state. Some favor only main trunk
lines; others think that the farmer is
the man to be considered, and that to
help him he must be given roads to
and from his particular farming section.
The automobile man cries for main
trunk roads; the small road is to him
only a secondary consideration. But
there is merit to both arguments, and
the man who wants to see Washington
have good roads should not fail to at
tend the Aberdeen meet. The Good
Roads association is urging every edi-
tor in the state to boost for delega-
ton to the convention from his partic-'
ular section.

For some reason the senatorial fight
which involves the seat now held by S.
H. Piles, is not creating as much in
terest as it did a few weeks ago. In
King county the politicians are waiting
for John L. Wilson to come home from
the east and start the ball rolling.
When he left Seattle for Egypt some
time ago Senator Wilson refused to say
if he would be candidate to succeed
Piles. Senator Wilson, however, has
has changed his mind about going to
Egypt and is coming home instead. If
Miles Poindexter runs for the senate,
and he will unless he changes his
mind, w. A. Halteman will be after
his seat in congress, with a splendid
chance, according to his friends, of
landing the job. During the A.-Y.-P.
exposition Halteman had good chance
to extend the glad hand and make
friends, and he certainly took advant-
age of it. At present his Office is in
Seattle, and day does not go by with
out bunch of friends visiting him and
telling him he is the logical successor
to Poindexter.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-02-04

Seattle is not in any sense the rival
of Spokane for the National Apple
Show and is not seeking TO have the
show removed from the eastern Wash
ington city. Considerable newspaper
discussion, originating with Spokane
papers, on the ACCESSIBILITY Of a new To-
cation, preferably an eastern city, met
with decided opposition in Seattle,
where it is believed that the greatest
benefits OF the apple show come from
bringing fasteners out to visit the or
chards and lands available for cultiva-
ton in the Pacific northwest. The
conventions committee of the Seattle
chamber of commerce sent out a circu-
lar strongly urging this view and stating
that if the show was to be removed
from Spokane for any reason Seattle
would be glad to take care Of it. An
expression of opinion of the CONNER
cial organizations in fruit growing dis
tricts was asked for. This is the ex-
tent Of the movement which the Spo-
kane chamber OF commerce has I'M
Justly called an effort to rob" that
city of the apple show. Seattle's sole
interest in the matter is to keep the
show in the northwest, where it will
best serve the welfare Of all sectious.

Every pioneer on the west side is
predicting an early spring; if that
proves true the rush of new settlers
to the state should begin within the
next six weeks. The railroads say that
this spring and summer the state will
begin to reap the benefit of last year.

and Northern Pacific officials who were
in Seattle during the past week stated
that there was all kinds of evidence
that the rush the coming year would be
the heaviest in the history Of the state.
The roads are well prepared to handle
the crowds; in addition, they are
spending thousands of dollars in send

(By United Press Leased Wire
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. s.
A vivid description of the death
of Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the
capitalist, in whose stomach an 1
viscera strychnine was recently
found, was given on the witne ess
stand today by Miss Pearl Kellar,
the colonePs nurse, at the inquest

Twenty minutes later Swope was
seized with convulsions and died

refused to take the capsule from
DR.. Hyde's hands, according to
Miss Kellar. The nurse said size
then persuaded DR., Hyde to leave,
assuring him that she herself

After describing Col. Swope's

JURY TOLD THAT SHE RE-
HAD ONLY WOUNDED IN

NAUGATUCK. Conn, Feb. T.
1t is hard to believe that this
sweet-faced girl of 20, this gentle
looking teacher of music, is guilty
of a murder the like of which for
ferocity and devilish cunning has
seldom occurred in this land of
many murders.
Yet the authorities say Sophia
Kritchman slew Bronislaw Kulvin-
skas, who loved her. bloodily and
without mercy returning again and
again to where he lay dying to
stone him and slash him with
knives, after having carefully
planned the deed and i. that her
hand was nerved not by jealousy
or revenge but for the sordid sake
of money! scant $500 Kulvin-
skas had saved for the wedding.
Now she is on trial for her life
before the superior court in
Waterbury, Conn.
All day she sits at the trial
table clad in a schoolgirl frock of
blue that barely reaches to her
shoe tops. Her frailty has scarcely
seemed to Justify the two brawny
deputies who walk, one on each
side of her, into the court room
day after day.
She seems gentle girl, full OF
:
tears and soft sighs, not a fiend
who would use her sex to lure a
stalwart man to lonely spot and
then kill him cruelty.
Hanging is the penalty for MUIR
der in Connecticut. They have
never hanged a woman in the

WON'T HURRY
ANNEXATION

The suggestion of County Com
missioner Dickson, made through
the Times yesterday, that the an
nexationists get together in the
suburban territory and frame up
a big district and that the COM
missioners will then stop the ap-
peal to the supreme court of the
case taken from Judge Clifford's
court will not be acted upon,
according to citizens who have
been prominent in the annexation
movement.
"I think we will just let the
appeal go through. We stand a
chance of winning in the supreme
court, and if we do, then 1t would
bring in the whole big district,
which was wanted. If we fail on
that. then by that time the ques-
tion of five-cent fare will probably
be settled with Fern Hill, and 1
believe they will win, and then it
will be easy to get the people to-
gether and frame up new dis
trfct that will come in" said Mr..
Harrison, one OF the leaders in the
annexation movement today.
IT think that is the sentiment
of the most OF the people," con-
tinued Mr.. Harris.

Trusts Using Club.


Direct charges are made that
fluctuations in the stock markets
are for the purpose of influencing
the government in its dealings
with trusts.
1t is declared that the money
powers have determined to give
the government and the courts "a
practical demonstration" of what
might be expected If the tobacco
trust should be dissolved and the
decision dissolving the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey should
be upheld.
Interests Disturbed.
1t is also believed that certain
interests are very much disturbed
by the proposed federal incorpor-
ation bill for fear that congress
will throw fat in the fire" by
providing more stringent, regula-
Itions through amendment of the
measure as presented.
Efforts to have the incorpora-
tion bill changed in such a man
ner as to make the feared amend
ments impossible already have
been made and great influence Is
being centered on the progress of
the measure through congress.
The announcement that the fell
eral incorporation bill will not ts
presented for passage is of no par
ticular interest to the brokers be-
cause they look upon it as almost
a certainty.
The fact that it is being COIL
sidered. according to the view OF
the dealers in stocks shows that
eventually with the power of the
behind it, it will be
enacted into a law.
Explains Stamp.
This line of reasoning is pee
sented today in most authoritative
circles as an explanation of bear
raids on the market during taa
last few days when stocks, usually
looked upon as standards, have
dropped off, until in many cases
the lowest marks of last year have
been reached.
Mysterious Influence.
Through the present period Of
weakness there seems to have con-
stantly been present some myster-
ious influence which was undefin-
ed and yet all powerful. No one
seemed to be able to give any
definite cause for the heavy selling
either on Saturday or Monday,
but that the depression was gen.
eral and that the market was bor-
dering on decentralization could
not be denied.
That half dozen men or even
two or three of the giants of fa-
anee could have effected this
slump through a simple under
standing reached after a few min
utes' conference in Wall street
private Office, no one doubts.
1t is believed that some such
