WHY TRAINS
COULDN'T GET
BACK TO TUNNEL


WELLINGTON, WASH, Mar.
6.-Why didn't they run the
trains back into the Cascade
tunnel, Is the first question
every person who reaches here
asks. It's the question every
body In Seattle and Everett is
asking. The trains stood near
the tunnel and the natural pro-
lection of its interior from ava
ianches suggests itself to every
one who has ever been over the
Great Northern.
The reason was that there
was seven feet OF snow between
the trains and the tunnel. The
rotaries were fighting to clear
the track ahead and were con-
stantiy forced back by new
slides. All this time the snow

POLICE LOOKING FOR ROSE
BROOK; WOMAN IN CASE?''

Word was received from Port
land, Ore, today that the police of
that city are looking for Charles
A. Rosebrook, the well known Spo-
kane yardmaster of the Great Nor
thern depot, who left his job when
the switchmen's strike began.
Rosebrook, whose home is at 10
Third avenue, disappeared about
two weeks ago, as nearly as can be
found out. His wife refuses to
discuss the case. 1t is understood,
however, that before Rosebrook left
this city, he wrote letter to his
wife in which he declared he was
going to Portland to look for job.
Little credit is based on this de-
claration, for RosebroOk is said to
have been seen on Sprague avenue

noon.
This is where the ever-present

search. The man who claims to
have seen ROsebrook, said that a
woman was "hangin" on his arm
as the couple dashed happily along
Sprague avenue.
Rosebrook is described as being
"A years old, feet II inches in
height, medium build, dark COM
plexioned and he wore a dark mus
tache. When last seen he was
dressed in dark clothing but wore
brown hat and tan shoes. 1t is
said that he drinks considerably at
times. The police refused to dis

(By United Press Leased Wlre)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CARSON, New, March 5.-The
direct primary law of the state OF
Nevada is valid. according to Judge
Langan of the district court today.
The law was declared constitu-
tional by the court in sustaining the
attorney generals demurrer to
petition to declare the act not con-
stitutional.
In handing down his decision,
Judge Langan said:
"All acts of the legislature are
the supreme will of the people and
are valid and constitutional until
declared invalid and unconstitu-
tional by the court; the presump-
tion of law is always in favor of the
act until it is declared unconstitu-
tiOnal."

ments the fact that there seems to be

which he served almost four years. His
only brother was killed on the skirmish
line six miles from Bolivar. Tenn. Other
regiments are mentioned that were In
the same brigade, but the 20th Ohio
seems to be ignored. He says that 1t
was as good a regiment as there was
in the field, and that there never was
q better Colonel than Col NJ. Forse.
They always went wherever ordered.

Of Importance.
Representative D. ]. Foster, of Bur
Nngton VT is the ranking Republican,
member of that committee, and as mat
ters usually run would be made Chair
man to succeed Mr.. Perkins. But Mr..
Foster is one of the near-insurgents.
Some would class him as a full-fledge6
insurgent. Some weeks ago there was
a banquet of the Republican Congress
sional Committee-an annual affair-at
which there was postprandial discus
sion of numerous topics Affecting the
issues of the next campaign. At that
banquet Mr.. Foster delivered himself
of the opinion that when Speaker Can
non has served out his present term he
would have served eight years contin-
uously, and as long as the American
people had ever elected a President to
serve them.
Mr.. Foster added that he thought it
would be time for change in the
Speakership when Mr.. Cannon put
down his gavel at the close of the pres
ent Congress. The people of his dis
trict thought as much, he declared, and
he was with them. Mr.. Cannon was
present when Mr.. Foster delivered that
speech and was also an attentive listen
er some days ago in the House when
Mr.. Foster expressed somewhat similar
sentiments in debate. The two men
have continued to be good personal
friends, but as Mr.. Foster has been so
outspoken, more outspoken in some
ways than any other Republican of the
House, it Is very much of a question
whether the Speaker will care to pro-
mote the Vermonter to a good Chair
manship.
The rules of the House are very spe-
cific that in case of the death of a
Chairman the Speaker must appoint a
successor. In the case of the resigna-
ton of a Chairman the committee may
elect his successor. Last Summer, when
he made up his House committees, the
Speaker sidetracked two or three prom
fnent insurgents, including Chairmen
of committees. He may now sidetrack
Mr.. Foster. But he may do the side
tracking soon or he may choose to de-
fer the transaction till the beginning Of
the next session of Congress. He is
saying nothing about his plans. and
Representative Foster is very much on
the anxious bench in the meantime.
