Must Be Recognized by Ma
tional Committee Says
Republican Paper
CONVENTION REGULAR
Review on the
Aberdeen Convention ..-
Teddy Delegates Legal

The republican national committee
will most assuredly recognize the
Roosevelt delegation from this state.
The delegation bears the stamp of
legality and every act of the Roose-
welt followers at the convention in
Agerdeen on Wednesday has the COM
mendation of all fair-minded repub-
licans of Washington, and they are
in an overwhelming majority.
The convention which elected
straight Taft delegation to the re-
publican national convention was not
representative of the REPUBLICAN par
ty. Its officials were puppets in the
hands of political wire-pullers and
professional office-seekers, and 13
counties, including such influential
counties as Spokane, Walla Walla
and Clark, were unrepresented. The
convention was machine, pure and
simple
On the other hand, the Roosevelt
republican convention, in reality the
state republican convention, was di-
rectly representative of the party. It's
organization was the act of the dele
gates and the proceedings through
out were in their hands.
To set aside the delegates of this
convention would be unthinkable-
something beyond the ken of body
of just and honorable men, such as
undoubtedly compose the republican
national committee.
The legality of the Roosevelt DEL
egates to the national convention can
not be gainsaid when the status Of
the King county delegates in the
state convention is considered. To
dismiss all other contested points de-
cided by the republican state COM
mittee it's action on the King county
delegates can not be too often re-
peated-it demonstrates so conclu-
sively Colonel Roosevelt's right to
the Washington delegation.
Two delegations from King county
appeared in Aberdeen-121 dele
gates for Taft, 121 delegates for
Roosevelt Setting aside all contro.
versy respecting the makeup of the
King county central committee and
the King county executive commit.
tee, these facts are not denied; That
the 121 delegates for Taft were hand
picked by an executive committee of
20 men; that the 121 delegates for
Roosevelt were elected at primary
election in which from $500 to $500
republicans participated.
No reasonagle body of men can
declare that the Roosevelt delega-
tion from King county should not
have been seated. The republican
state committee, blinded by partizan-
ship and dominated by machine boss
es, unjustly threw out the Roose-
welt delegation, but this injustice is
bound to be rectified by the repub-
lican national ommittee.-Spokane

THE WISHkAH RIVER FERRY
Bridge Being Out Of Commission
Works Hardship on Traffic
the Wishkah River.

The fact that the Heron street
bridge is out of commission for the
second time within a few months, is
directing the attention of the city
authorities to the need of better fac
ilities for travel across the Wishkah
river. The ferry is costly and unsat
isfactory. A prominent business man
of East Aberdeen figures that the
time lost by pedestrians and teams in
crossing on the ferry will show a cost
of $3.50 day, in addition to the cost
Of maintaining the ferry.
While the authorities and the ferry
crew are doing all they can with the
facilities they have, the ferry is so
situated as to be impossible for load
ed wagons at low water, and acci-
dents are constantly delaying traffic.
On Saturday morning the cable was
broken and traffic delayed for sew
eral hours, many pedestrians being
compelled to walk to South Aberdeen
railroad bridge.
On Friday, the team of A. B. Skin
ner became frightened while backing
down the slip on the east side. and
but for the prompt cutting of the
traces, would have been drowned. AS
it was, the wagon with about 1000
pound of groceries from West & Slade
Grocery company, went into the river.
and a good portion Of the groceries,
valued at $3.50, was lost
The increase of population in East
Aberdeen demands better bridge SER
vice, and it is argued that it would
prove real economy to build second
bridge at Wishkah street, and that but
few periods of the Heron street bridge
out of service would pay for the
structure.

Captain and Mrs. Endressen
Are Shipwrecked in
the South Seas
GUESTS OF ISLAND KING
Romantic Wedding Ends in
a Terrible Experience for
the Young Bride

SAN FRANCISCO, May lion the
long list Of passengers on the Royal
Mail steamship Aarangi, from the An
tipodes and South seas, which is today
discharging cargo, are Capt. Thomas
Endrensen and his bride, who were
shipwrecked off the island of Raiatea,
12O miles from Papeete, Tahiti.
Undersoes Terrible Hardships.
Mrs. Endresen, who was Miss Ann
De La Teur, of Pendleton, Or. under
went terrible hardship and drifted
about in the ocean in an open boat for
ten hours, not knowing the fate of
her husband and the crew of the
schooner G. w. Watson, of which he
was master.
The schooner, which was partly
filled with water. was dashed on reef
April and was a total wreck inside of
few hours. Under the strain OF
ocean swells the ships seams opened
and soon the vessel was hopelessly
waterlogged.
lifeboat was launched and provis-
ioned, and into it, with several sailors
to handle it, the skipper placed his
bride. Her trousseau was under water
in the cabin and all she saved was the
clothing she wore. Later the captain
and crew escaped in another boat.
Romance Began at Grays Harbor.
The shippers romance started sew
eral years ago at Grays harbor, before
Capt. Endresen went to sea. When he
sailed on the schooner G.. w. Watson
for the South seas last January, he
had the promise that his bride-to-be
would meet him in Papeete when he
arrived, she taking passage on the
steamer Natal.
After a stormy passage and month
overdue, Capt. Endresen arrived in
papeete with his ship leaking. Miss
De La Teur was there waiting for him,
but when Capt Endresen sought a
marriage license he discovered that
the French law required that the nu-
ptials be advertised for thirty days
The young couple found a way out
by being married in a launch four
miles out to sea by Father Christian,
a Belgian priest.
Are Guests Of the King.
For three weeks after they were
shipwrecked Capt. Endresen, his wife
and crew Of eight men were guests of
the king of Raiatea. Capt, Endresen
sold the wrecked schooner for $3.50, Sc.
cured passage for his party to Pap
eete on a trading vessel and then
took passage for home on the Aaran
gi.
Mrs. Endresen is we'll known in
San Francisco and Berkeley, having
visited here many times She is young
and pretty. and although she said
that being shipwrecked was a terrible
experience, she is ready to go to sea
again whenever her husband gets an
other ship.

But it Is rather early to talk about
baseball when the football season Is
only at the half way mark.
Speaking OF football. the University
of Virginia has been criticised for not
playing the eleven from Medical Col
lege OF Virginia and other State teams.
The Virginia coaches know their
business, which is to prepare for the
Georgetown and Carolina games. II
is possible that Virginia would rather
beat Carolina than Georgetown, but
these are the games for which the
eleven is pointed. To ask the team
to play the elevens of Washington
and Lee. V. p l., v. NJ I. and bunch
of graduate players like the Medi-
cal college team, Is asking consider

Two championship games in a season

be too many.

Al Chicago 1t was even worse, Sex
and Cubs played two draws before
they had reached four decisions. and
wish to be put in on six actual
games.
During the series. however, one
claim for consideration was made
that is worth some attention. Ii comes
fAam the umpires, and does not es-
pecially concern those who worked in
the games played during the past two
weeks. though they are the pro-
ponents of the proposition. The arbi-
traitors are paid Il FIAT sum. Theoreti-
cally they draw $500 and expenses.
But It is a long time since any world
series umpire went home with as lit
tie money as this. several years have
elapsed since the commission allowed
an umpire to work for less than $500.
This fall the men We're to get $3.50,

instead of being given n fixed salary,
their compensation shall be a sum OF

year that would have been, in round
numbers, $500. The umpires do not
ask that they shall split this.- All that
they wish, for the men who actually
work in the world series, Is the sum
the commission gave them this year,
$1,000 each. That would leave about
$4,000. And this they propose shall
be divided among the major league
umpires who do not get in ON the
big games.
There is common sense to their
proposition. In each league there are
several clubs that have never been

not threaten to be in for some years

And. under the 25 per cent rule, they
