Entertained II. II. Commissioners
and G.. N. Officials.

Peshastin, Wash. Oct. 1.-The
Peshastin populace turned out to a
banquet yesterday that did justice
to the efforts of the Commercial
Club.
The banquet was rendered the
State Railway Commission and some
of the G. ~ officials.
The object of the meeting was for
the purpose of placing before the
railroad commission the information
to show the necessity of placing an
agent at this place.
The party of officials arrived in
two special coaches Wednesday
evening and were met by a delega-
ton from the Peshastin Commercial
Club at $50 q. m. yesterday. The
party was then taken for an auto
trip through the valley in the ma
chimes of S. P. Beecher and w. D.
Cartwright of the Peshastin Lumber
company. After the return of the
party the banquet was held in Gill
bert's hall The ladies of the vicin-
ity had in readiness everything that
they had prepared for the occasion
Fully 800 growers were present.

road Commission; Supt. Brown, OF

to the assistant traffic manager of
the Great Northern, composed the
party.
The hearing was brought about
through the efforts of the CONNER
cial club of this place. Supt. Bow
en- announced that the orders for ex-
press sheds and necessary platforms
had been placed.
Messrs. Jones and Fairchild, of
the commission, and Messrs. Costel-
10 and Brown, of the Great North
ern, were to have been present, but
were called to Spokane unexpected
ly last evening. No official an
nouncement of the decision granting
the request was given out on account
of the absence of the other members
of the commission.
The hall was appropriately ar
ranged for the occasion and large
fruit exhibit was placed near the
speakers stand.
H. w. Otis acted as POSTMASTER,
with the following men speaking:
]. HI. Lawrence commented at length
on the work of the ladies in prepar-
ing such a feast and intimated very
strongly that Peshastin would get
the agent and the other things re-
uuested. w. v Tanner spoke at
length on the powers of the commits
sion and laws relating to railways.
Supt. Brown gave a short address
in which he favored the request and
would recommend the same, al
though it was not in his department
to make an official statement. The
meeting was the biggest success of
anything the commercial club has
yet undertaken.

post-primary senatorial contest.
Should developments demand it,
they will be plainly indicated. 1t is
sufficient at this time to say that
the proposed plan involves the abso-
lutte surrender of democratic princi-
pies.
AT this time | am the direct pri-
mary choice of the large majority of
the true blue democrats in every
mary election resisted every form of
outside persuasion and called for
democratic ballots. 1t must be ap-
parent to any one, as logical pro-
position. that the hope, opportunity
or the possibility of success from a
democratic standpoint, in the sena-
torial campaign from now on, arises
almost entirely from the fact that
besides being the regular party NOM
inee by direct primary vote, | am
also a progressive, democratic demo-
crat of proved record and of long
residence in Western Washington.
This combination of both political
and residence qualifications offers
the only possibility for success in
opposing Miles Poindexter.
Il have every right and reason to
expect and no occasion to doubt that
every democrat who will be elected
to the legislature, whether pledged
or unpleiged, will stand with me for
progressive, constructive Jeffersonian
democracy. and for me as the par
tvs nominee for United States sena-
tor.
Il am sure that Senator Turner,
with full information, will not only
support me but will insist upon the
full measure of democratic loyalty "

WOMAN MAY HAVE
FIGURED IN MURDER
COrOner's Jury Anxious for In
vestigatiOn in the Famous
WOOdhilI Tragedy

BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. 1S.-Members
of the coroner's jury which refused to
brand Bob" Eastman as the murderer
of Mrs. Edith May Thompson Woodill
in the mysterious tragedy of the bun
galow near st. Michaels in June a year
ago are desirous of having reports in
Vestgated that Mrs Porter Charlton
who was killed at Lake Como, Italy, on
June last, was the slayer of Mrs
Woodill
Prominent residents of st. Michaels
and other citizens of Talbot county
who have closely watched the case and
know each man and Mrs WoodilI have
never believed Eastman killed her and
that she met her death in quarrel
with woman, as Eastman said she did
Mrs Charlton was seen in Talbot near
the time of the tragedy. Her husband
had spent several vacations near St.
Michaels.
lawyer of Baltimore says Mrs
Charlton knew Eastman in New York
man and a woman were seen in the
company Of Eastman a few days before
the murder. They disappeared after
ward. Charlton is supposed by some of
the citizens of St. Michaels to have
been the innocent cause of the murder
of Mrs. Woodill; that it was on his ac-
count that the woman mentioned by
Eastman in a letter struck Mrs
Woodill. Persons who saw those in
the bungalow party said after the Lake
Como tragedy that the pictures pub
lished Of Charlton and his wife were
those Of the woman and the man seen
together near Eastmans bungalow
The chief of police of Baltimore ex-
presses the opinion that if Mrs Charl-
ton was in ST. Michaels at the time of
the murder the theory that she killed
Mrs. Woodill would seem plausible
That is the main point
Charlton is in a murderer's cell in
Jersey City Jail and refusese to be
seen.

(VTASHINGTON, Aug 18-It is
M predicted here by some OF the
regular republican leaders, men
who are close 20 the bosses in New
York, that Theodore Roosevelt will
be nominated for governor of New
York by acclamation. even against his
wishes. 1t is declared that two years
in the executive office at Albany
would be proper prelude to another
nomination by acclamation in the re-
publican national convention of 1912.
1t IS practically admitted here that
unless Roosevelt himself runs for the
Office of governor the republicans of
New York might as we'll give up the
ghost.
Gaynor to Run
That Mayor Gaynor will be the
democratic candidate there row seems
to be little doubt Even Tamnnanv
will support him for the nomination.
This fact. it is said. makes it certain
that no man other than Roosevelt can
win the election for the republicans.
1t is declared that it was mainly
because Woodruff and Barnes wished
to force the nomination of Roosevelt.

they sought to control the convention
by having Vice President Sherman
named as temporary chairman. They
were afraid that RooseveIts keynote
speech might swing the convention to-
ward some other man. some progress

Roosevelt himself probably would.
No One Else Could Win
By nominating Roosevelt. the lead

brunt of the campaign. No other man
can win. anyhow, and they would as
soon have Roosevelt and the credit OF
having won republican victory, as
have Gaynor and ignominy of having

history and his nomination for the
presidency would be inevitable. He
would probably insist on the nomina-

nomination for the presidency.

Woodruff and Barnes would deliver
the New York delegation to him at the

Woodruff and Barnes, not being very
close to the national political pulse,
feel that Roosevelt. even though elect
