discussion of Senator Huxtable's
resolution to provide $5 in stamps

MAY TAKE: Up
CONTEMPT
TODAY
SENATOR DAN LANDON MAY
INTRODUCE MEASURE TO
ADOPT FEDERAL LAW.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 10.-Senator
Dan Landon of King county will
today, it is announced, introduce
bill preventing punishment for
contempt for criticisms outside
the courtroom. The bill will fol-
low the lines of the federal law
of 1881. Representative Victor
Zednick, King county, has already
fled a similar bill in the house,
to go in as house bill No. l.
The introduction of these meas
ures follows on the arrest and
sentencing to Jail of two editors
of the Seattle Star whose COM
ment criticised the issuance of an
injunction by Judge Gillian
against the Duwamish valley resi-
dents and in favor of the Interur-
ban Electric company.
Already more than fifty legisla-
tors have pledged themselves to
vote against the present law of
contempt, and a ma ajority of the
senate has come out for the fed
eral law.

BOMB GOES OFF
UNDER HOTEL

SAN FRANCISCO, JAN. TO-
"A dynamite bomb, hurled, the po-
lice say, by warning Italian fish
ermen, wrecked the entrance OF
the Hotel Bimbo, in the Latin
quarter early today, but none of
the 35 dodgers, including t~o
women and four children, was in
jured. A brown felt hat, dropped
by the would-be assassin as he
ran away after the explosion, and
an impression of his voice as he
yelled when two policemen fired
at him are the only clues on which
the police have any hope of cap
turing the miscreant.
Investigation revealed that the
house was occupied largely by
fishermen belonging to the .'inde-
pendents. They and the members
of the alleged fish trust have been
engaged in a bitter war for sew
eral months.

Officers Trap Burglar
and Shoot Him In Back
BIG NEGRO TRACED THROUGH SNOW AND FINALLY CAUGHT
ROBBING RESIDENCE.

1t was the first snow and fine
for coon hunting and Detective
Jack Ellison and Policeman Pug
myer bagged the game at 4:45
this morning.
He gave his name as Charles
Brown, aged %, porter, and he
was shot across the back. The
!. bullet just winged him and he will
be able to go to Walla Walla
shortly.
When that snow came the boys
, Thought now was the time for
/ sport, so they put on their shoot
/ ing irons and started down on
South X street where game of the
burglar variety seemed to abound
in the last few nights.
Soon after the chase started
Ellison saw tracks. He called
Pugmyer and they followed them.
i They went up to a window and
4 came back. They found similar
trails up to several houses but
they always came back.
Game Is Treed.
! After a while they followed the
big footprints up to the home of
Harry Koch, at 1856 South X
street. The tracks led to the
Window.
AID they did not come back.
ASIt's inside" says Jack.
Pug assented and the pair sur
iinded the house.

PROVINCETOWN, Mass, Jan.
0.-Seventeen men were drown
ed today when three barges be-
longing to the Philadelphia &
Reading railroad were sunk near
here. The barges were being
conveyed by the tug Lukens. Life
savers attempted to rescue the
men, but failed. According to the
lifesavers, there were seven men
on the first barge and five each
on the other.
The men were drowned in sight
of shore, after a lone battle to
keep afloat. The life savers as
sert that they saw II men on the
wrecked barges.
The last man managed to re-
main atlOat until after 10 o'clock.
He was lashed to a spar on one of
the barges. The spar was broken
loose and the man swept into the
water, sinking at once.
Another man, who managed to
cling to the deck, although the
waves were washing over 1t, saw
that the rescuers would not be
able tC reach him. He launched a
dory and tried to row ashore. The
heavy waves capsized his boat
and he was drowned before he had
pulled two boat lengths away
from the barge.

SEATTLE, Jan. 10.-With the
decision late yesterday at Portland
by Judge Gilbert of the United
States court of appeals overruling
Judge Hanfor1's injunction, the
opponents of Mayor Hiram GIL
are deep today in plans for the
recall.
AS soon as Judge Gilbert an

Registration Lively.
Immediate preparations were
made to swell the registration,
and Wednesday of this week was
designated as ladies' day at the

women have been backward about
registering. and setting the one

bring out record number.
With the registration booths

TWO OFFICERS AND
MAN SHOT IN DUEL

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.-Tne
authorities today are trying TO
solve a mystery involved in a bati
tie between police and thugs last
night in which two officers and
an alleged footpad were shot. Po-

two men, one of whom the police
believe is Charles Buckman, who,
after being wounded, was cap

is no use to hurry when you tree
coon, just take your time.
In short time the front door
opened and a big black woolly
head stuck out.
Bang!
Pugmyer had missed.
The coon ran back in his hole
and went for the back door. He
dashed out and was making good
speed when Ellison pulled the
trigger and the game dropped.
There was a bullet hole through
his back starting in ON one shoul-
der and skinning along the back
in a tantalizing way.
The cops were on to the chap
in a hurry. They called the wag-
on and the burglar was taken to
the county hospital. He is not
much shot up.
On his person was found some
jewelry he had grabbed. He is
thought to be the same fellow who
has sbeen making good hauls the
last few nights in this section.
He had gone through the Koch
house and the people never knew
thing about it until the police
man shot the thief right under
their window.
Brown, as ihe gave his name,
has made some good hauls lately,
but he forgot that coon hunting is

BLUFF MADE AT TYING
PETERSONS' HANDS
Elected County Chairman With Introduction Of
Safety Clause Outstanding Warrants Run IL
legal Deficit to Greater Sum Than Supposed.

Torger Peterson is still at" at
the court house.
The new board of county COM
missioners organized yesterday
and Peterson was elected chair
man. Torger was compelled to
accept a resolution, however, that
hereafter all bills to be paid must
be signed by at least two mem
bers of the board.
While this looks like an ad-
vance it would have amounted to
nothing in fact had it been in
force during the regime of Me
and Mettler," for what Torger
said went with Mettler all right.
But Peterson has been put at
the head of the county affairs and
maintains his old place as dicta-
to-.
In the meantime his past policy
is being SHOWN up more clearly
every day.
That 1892, 900 overdraft deficit
IN the road and bridge fund. which
Peterson has squandered right
and left, has grown to $139, 900
now.
But that is not all. No one actu-
ally knows how much it will be.
There are hundreds and thousands
OF dollars outstanding for which
the citizens to whom it is due have
not a scrap of evidence.
George Myers, from over in the
west end of the county, was in this
week.
Myers used to be road super
visor then under former admin
istrations. But Peterson could
mot use him in the manner in
which he wanted to do things so
Myers was bounced. But as a
sop to keep him a little quiet so
.he would not fly clear off the
handle he was given work when
any was done over here. He has
lately been given some and he is
now in the hole and cannot get
his pay for the money is all gone
and that big deficit is there.
They owe me SOS and l have
no warrant or anything else to
show for it," said Myers who was
in town this week.
Thousands Outstanding.
Charles Lackey, over in the
same section, also has SEQ COM
ing but there is no money in sight.
These accounts are in addition to
all the outstanding warrants
which constitute that $3.50,
overdraft. How many thousands
of dollars of this open account in
debtedness Peterson has foisted on
the taxpayers no one knows. 1t
is not on record. there is no ac-
count of the work and there may
lie enough of this sort of thing out
to absorb all the new taxes as
they come in and leave the county
strapped.
With this situation how is the
county going to go ahead and
build any roads in the future?
That Is what is bothering Pet
.erson. That is why they were so
frantic for that 100000 bond is
sue. 1t would have enabled the
commissioners to pay up this de-
felt and keep up an appearance
of doing something so the people
would not have grown suspicious.
Now the jig is up.
The board has to admit it has
|squandered the, peoples money.
1t has to admit it has violated the
law and made a deficit that may
run up to close to 100000. There
is no getting around it for the
people with warrants and with
these open accounts are daily
clamoring for their pay and there
is no pay for them.
And in the face of this record
Peterson is elevated to the chair
manship of the board and given
the reigns of power again.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 10.-At 2:30
this afternoon, both houses of the
/ 9th legislature of the state of
Washington convened in joint ses-
sion to listen to the reading of
Gov. Hays second message.
1t strongly recommend the local
option bill with the county as the
unit. The governor would also
have the legislature pass a law
confirming the sale of liquors to
the hours between sunrise and
sunset, similar to the Nebraska
daylight saloon law.
The employees compensation act
is highly recommended by the
governor, as is also the request of
school teachers for provision to be
made in country districts for hous-
ing teachers. Nothing is said,
however, of the teachers retire
ment fund.
In the matter of public lands,
the governor tells of the special in
|vestigating committee discovering
the loss to the state of immense
u dCiS IHIouSH iudutuudlS ploN
sion by the state. Later, he rec
|ommends state conservation in the
strongest words possible as op-
posed to national control.
A law to make the issuance of
a no-fund check for any sum what
ever a felony, is referred for seri-
Gus consideration. State supervi-
sion of public charities is also
favored.
Injunctions Scored.
The injunction is scored by in
ference as being susceptible of
abuse by allowing public service
corporations to dodge payment of
taxes. The governor wants law
passed to compel them to pay un-
der protest first, before they can
resort to the courts in an appeal
against the tax.
A shorter ballot and the recall
for all elective offices is proposed
as amendments to the constitu-
ton. The governor wants cleo
tion of state officers, except that
of governor, eliminated. Even
the judges of the supreme court
should be appointed by the gov
|ernor, he recommends.
