SECURITIES ARE SPIRITED AWAY
IN AUTOMOBILE
Sensational Ride Through Utah and
Idaho Taken by Widow of ID. r
+. Walker of Salt Lake

Sdpildi NcWo
An automobile containing one mil
lion dollars in securities passed
through southern Idaho this week
speeding from Salt Lake to Seattle.
Although the machine and its occup-
ants carried probably the richest bur-
den that has ever been placed or risk
ed in an auto while enroute across
this state, few people were aware of
its contents. In the automobile were
Mrs. Althea Walker, widow of the
late David F. Walker, her two chill
dren,- Clarence and Margaret Smoot
Walker, and a chauffer, all of Salt
Lake. The machine passed through
Nampa yesterday, according to in
formation received in Boise today.
The automobile trip presents pc
culiar legal mix-up. Mrs. Sarah A.
Paul, daughter of David F. Walker,
reputed to be San Mateo million
aire, is the affiant in the action in
stituted in the Utah courts After her
fathers death she contested the will,
which left most of the estate to the
widow on the ground of the undue in
fluence exercised through pretended
powers of clairvoyance. The court
VISA asked to enjoin Mrs. Althea
Walker and her children from re-
moving the Walker wealth from the
Jurisdiction Of the Utah courts, whichf
it believed would be attempted and
which later proved to be true. An
order to that effect was issued and
attempts made to serve it on two of
the defendants.
Clarence Walker could not be
found. Later it was ascertained that
Mrs. Walker had decided tt spirit
the securities away and she chartered
the services of an automobile for that
purpose. The trip was attempted
with Seattle as the ultimate terminal.
Having passed through Nampa the
of the car are now we'll
into Oregon territory and should
reach Seattle by Saturday of this
week.
The court in the meantime has
been petitioned to order Mrs Walker
and her children to papear before it
within 10 days to show cause why
hey should not be punished for con-
,empt. 1t is not believed this petit
ion will be granted.
This sensational auto ride Is one
If the most peculiar of its kind ever
attempted in the western country. AS
he fortune is all in securities moth
ng could be gained in an attempt at |
'obbery, for to another the securities
would be valueless.
Later: The party boarded a train
o travel the last $50 miles into Sc
tile, and upon their arrival in that
ity were served with the court order
hey had been running away from.
FRS. Walker agreed to return to Salt
AXE but was so worn out she was
ermitted to rest few days first.

RESULT ON GOVERNOR

Statesman
The returns at hand indicate the
defeat of Governor Brady. Subsequent
figures may altar the situation, bu
there seems to be. small room FOL
hope Of his success on the part of hi
4 supporters. These feel keenly thu
probable outcome of the contest
much more so than the governor hin
self feels it. There are reasons why
the chief executive may be the only
one of his ticket to go down that take
the sting from the outcome as felt
by his political friends.
In the first place the governor was
the target of all opposition. Although
holding only voting place in the ad-
ministration, as member Of various
boards, he was held responsible for
every act of those boards. The con-
stitutional immunity granted him no
relief in the public mind. If the land
board acted in manner to arouse
opposition, the force of it fell upon
the governor, Notwithstanding his in
dividual attitude. So it was with all
the other boards. Liberal-minded
and loyal, Governor Brady took this
responsibility to shield himself as
matter of vote-getting. This accent
uated the opposition OF those who had
real or fancied grievances over board
actions.
Again, the direct primary contest
in the republican party furnished the
democrats with all the ammunition
they could possibly desire. 1t was ex-
tremely bitter. Governor Brady was
attacked mercilessly by leaders of his
party. The democratic campaign pre-
sented no more vigorous assaults. The
man who was destined to be the
standard bearer of the party went in
to the contest for his party handi-
capped by the rancor of a primary
contest too recent to permit of amel-
ioration. The democrats merely held
up what republican opponents of the
governor had said about him, just as
they would have held up the accusa-
lions against any other republican
who might have been nomi-
mated.
Moreover, Governor Brady was
confronted by an almost solid vote
Of the republican "wets" while it is |
lutte apparent he did not garner any
material number Of democratic
'drys."
Added to the local situation was a
reflection in Idaho of the national
andslide to the democracy, which ma

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST

Washington maintained the reputa-
tion of the northwest for progressive
ness in political affairs by voting in
favor of the Woman's Suffrage on
November 8, by at least 2 to /, there
by becoming the fifth suffrage state
in the union. This result and the
outcome ofthe prohibition amend
ment in Oregon and local option cleo
tion throughout the northwest were
as interesting and important as the
choice of men to fill public offices.
Oregon voted AGAINST state wide pro-
hibition, a result which was expect
ed, the almost. unanimous sentiment
being that local option was more sat
isfactory, more easily enforced, and
more just to all sections of the state.
In Washington great many cities
and counties held local option cleo
lions with the result that two large
cities, Everett and Bellingham, went
dry. being the first important cities
to take this attitude. Among the
other smaller cities the wet and dry
sentiment was about evenly divided.
some of the wet towns going dry, and
some OF the dry towns going wet. The
success of the equal suffrage amend.
ment in Washington followed long
campaign lasting over two years, in
which the women have used every
possible method to reach the voters
and win their support. The press
of the state has proven generally
favorable to the women's cause, while
1t was endorsed by labor and by the
state grange. The combination was
a big winner.

One of the cleverest exhibits de-
vised in some time to advertise the
products of the northwest has just
been added to the exhibit car of the
Northern Pacific railway, which will
tour the eastern states this winter.
The new exhibit is made of grain
seeds, and consists of the we'll known
trade mark of the Northern Pacific,
done in the regulation colors, and six
feet square. The emblem was con-
structed by, one man, working three
weeks at the task, and is decided
novelty. 1t reminds one of the ia
nous scenic view, wrought inseeds,
which filled the dome of the Oregon
State building at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition, and which is still
spoken of as one of the novelties of
the big fair, and was probably the
most elaborate work of the kind ever
designed in the Northwest.

One of the first convictions for
criminal libel secured in this state
inrecent years was found against
John C. Pilver, editor and publisher
of the Underwriters Report, of San
rancisco, in Seattle court early this
month. Pilver was arrested while
on visit to Seattle. The North
western Mutual Fire association was
the complaining witness, citing as
libelous an editorial printed by Pill
yer in September in, which the conf
pany was severely attacked in regard
to the payment of an insurance claim.
The rarity Of prosecutions for crimi-,
nal libel attracted attention to- the
case. It was incumbent upon the
plaintiff company to prove that the
statements were both untruthful and
malicious and this having been done,
Justice Brown imposed fine of $500
for which an appeal was taken. It
developed that the. article criticising
the insurance company was the out
growth of rivalry between old line
companies and the local Mutual COM
pany, which has been cutting a wide
swath in the insurance field. The
company is suing Pilver for $4,000
damages. .-....... |
