WASHINGTON GOES
TO The REPUBLICANS
Returns Indicate Election Of
Three Congressmen by
Reduced Majorities.

Seattle-Washingto state Tuesday
elected three congressman, five JUS
tices of the supreme court, a state
legislature which will choose a sue
cessor to United States Senator Sam
uel Piles, and full county ticket in
every county. Two constitutional
amendments to be voted upon, one
granting women's suffrage and the
other providing for the succession of
the office of governor.
Late returns show that William E..
Humphrey, republican was reelected
as representative in congress from
the district which includes Seattle
and King county, winning a decisive
victory over W. w. Black, democrat.
In the congressional district OF
which Tacoma is principal portion,
Stanton Warburton, insurgent repub-
lican, was victorious over Langhorne,
and in the Third district in the East
ern part of the state, and including
Spokane, w. F. LaFollette, insurgent
republican, was elected by a good ma.
jority.
Poindexter's election to the United
States senate is practically assured
by the election of a republican legis.
lature.
Returns indicate that a light vote
was cast. The campaign has been
lacking in enthusiasm, save in one or
two contests. The canvass for the
so-called non-partisan supreme court
ticket failed to receive the support
expected by its promoters, and the
election of the five republican candi
dates for the supreme court bench is
reasonably certain.
A constitutional amendment grant
ing woman suffrage was on the ballot
There has been no organized opposi
tion to the amendment and it is gen
orally conceded that it has carried.
Seattle seems to have voted nearly
three to one for woman suffrage, bu
in Tacoma, the early returns show
the vote about evenly divided.

TWO TRAINS COLLIDE
ON GREAT NORTHERN
Eight Killed and Four Injured
When Fast Freight Trains
Collide.

Spokane.-Eight are known to be
dead and four known to be more or
less seriously injured as a result OF
one of the most disastrous freight
wrecks in the history of the Great
Northern Railroad, near Chattaroy.
WASH, early Sunday morning. The
wreck was the result of a head-on
collision around a sharp curve IN a
deep cut, fairly at the bottom of two
steep grades. Two heavily loaded
trains running at an exceptional rate
OF speed combined almost every con-
dition possible to make the impact
so disastrous.
Train No. 451, running on it's reg
ular schedule, westbound, collided
with the apple extra" eastbound,
running on a fast schedule Of five
hours between Hillyard, Wash, and
Troy Mont. Train No. 451 was load
ed with paints, oils, some furniture
and some livestock, much of it ex
tremely infiammable material and
considerably lighter than the apple
extra, which carried, besides fruit
heavy loads of grain and furniture.
Every man of both train crews who
happened to be near the front of his
train is dead. One brakeman saved
himself by jumping, but he is seri
ously injured.

DEMOCRATS WILL
CONTROL HOUSE

Chicago-That the next House of
Representatives will be controlled by
the democrats is conceded. The dem

seats in congress in eight states.
In New York seven republican
seats were secured By the democrats;
in Maryland, Massachusetts, North
Carolina, each, the republicans lost
two seats. Losses are definitely
known to have been sustained in H.
llnois, Kentucky, Missouri and OHIO
The known democratic gain of IS
seats, is offset by two republican
gains from the democrats, one each
in New York and Pennsylvania. Re.
ports received from other states in,
dicate that the democrats will have
ample margin to secure them the %
seats necessary to give them control
of the House, two democratic gains
previously having been reported in
Maine. Twenty-four were acquired
before the Maine election.
