Olympia Lawyers Say Refer
endum viii Not Cover
Coming Legislature
UP TO THE LEGISLATORS
Amendment to Become EHec-
tive Must Be Enacted
as Any Other Law

OLYMPIA, Dec. 1S.-That appropri.
ations and laws passed by the 1913
legislature will not be subject to the
referendum is the assertion made by
Olympia attorneys who have investi-
gated the matter, claiming that when
the constitutional amendment was
adopted changing the time for the
taking effect of laws and abOlishing
emergency clauses the people took
away any opportunity to have refer
endum laws enacted at the coming
session. On November the voters
of the state by their ballots showed
that Washington is in favor of direct
legislation and provided for the in
itiation of measures and for a refer
endum vote on those enacted by the
legislature.
But while the people have shown
that they want direct legislation, the
machinery has not yet been provid-
ed. Therefore, the machinery will
have to be enacted as law at the
coming session, and as there can be
no emergency clause and this law
cannot take effect until all other laws
60 into effect, then there can be no
referendum on any act of the 1918
legislature.
Too Late for 1918
This means that with the 1913 leg
islature will rest entirely the pro-
viding of machinery for the handling
of laws by the direct method. If ma
chinery is provided that is objection
able to the direct legislation league
there can be no referendum vote of
the people. The remedy suggested in
event the legislature passes a bill
that is not satisfactory to supporters
of the movement is the initiation of
a law that will be. but this cannot
be done for two years and it will have
to be done through machinery pro-
vided by the 1913 lawmakers.
At least this is the way that the
situation has been sized up by attor-
neys who have Investigated the mat
ter. They assert that if at the COM
ing session 100000 is voted for a
bridge across the Columbia river,
100000 is voted for a Washington ex-
hibit at the San Francisco fair and
other money provided for the build
ing of roads in a manner not satisfac-
tory to certain sections of the state,
no referendum vote can be had on
the appropriations. 1t is conceded
now that the entire matter rests with
the coming legislature and conse-
quently there will be big fight over
the machinery privided for the carry
ing out of direct legislation principles

SUDDEN CALL OF
GRIM REAPER
E. 0. Nc Clauflin Passed
Away Last Night at His
Home in Hoquiam
BLOOD VESSEL BURST
Was Manager Of Northwest

Nine Years

HOQUIAM, Dec. 19.-Eugene 9. Nc
Glauflin, general manager of the
North West Lumber company, died
at his home, 5O4 L street, about 10
o'clock last night.
Death was sudden and unexpected,
and resulted from the bursting of a
blood vessel, following an attack of
acute gastritis. Mr. McGlauflin had
not been in the best of health for
two years past, and for several
months his friends had urged him to
take a long vacation in the hope of
restoring his health. But he kept at
his work, confident that the occasion
al attacks of gastritis would cease.
Yesterday he felt as we'll as usual,
but after dinner he was seized with
the attack which resulted fatally, in
spite of the efforts of DR.. A. ]. Nc
Intyre, who was called during the
evening, to afford relief.
Came Nine Years Ago.
E. o. McGlauflin came to Hoquiam
October 3, 1903, and had been with
the North Western Lumbe company
continuously since that time, as we'll
as for several months before coming
to this city:
Mr.. McGlauflin came to Hoquiam
from the town where he was born,
Anoka, Minn., and with him came

ter Elliott), March and Kathryn. The
three daughters are graduates of the
Hoquiam high school, and the two
younger are now students at the state
university in Seattle, where they were
notified last night of their fathers
untimely death. Misses March and
Kathryn were at home during the
Thanksgiving holidays.
In addition to E. o. McGlauflin's
immediate family, his brother, ]. r.
McGlauflin, is a resident of Hoquiam,
with his family. Another brother,
George ", lives at Sunnyside, Cal.
A sister, Mrs. Huntley. at Rush City,
Minn., and another sister, Miss Ida
B. McGlauflin, at Denver. Colo.
Was So Years Of Age.
E. o. McGlauflin was Sc years Of
age, having been born Nov. 20. 1856.
He was member of Hoquiam Lodge
No. Ga, F. & A. NJ, and the Ho-
quiam Lodge Of Elks. He was for
several years president Of the Ho-
quiam Commercial Club, and had
been identified with many projects
for the upbuilding Of Hoquiam. In
all public affairs he was a leader, and
many were the demands upon his
time. He was actively identified with
the various lumber associations Of the
Northwest, and was one of the most
widely known and highly respected
lumber men in the West, business
in which almost his entire life was
spent.
Plans for the funeral are not COM
plete, but it is probable that services
will be held at the house, and that
interment will be in Hoquiam ceme-
terry.

CITY QUrn.T LAST NIGHT

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, March Is
Martial law will continue in effect in
Rock Island until there is no longer
any possibility of renewed rioting.
No political mass meetings will be
permitted until after the primary
election April ..
Saloons must remain closed until
April 8. At least portion of the
troops now in charge of this city will
continue here until after the election.
Orders to this effect were issued by
Sheriff Bruner and Adjutant General
Dickson today, following a lengthy
conference between the officials and
Mayor Schriver
Aojutant General Dickson declared
that later developments may cause a
change in the terms but present indi-
cations led him to believe that stern
measures would have to be enforced
to prevent further bloodshed among
the lawless element of the community
The city was quiet last night and
only half dozen arrests were made.
Mayor Schriver's home was guarded
last night by a detail of ten militia
men and several detectives. This
precaution was taken in view of
threats circulated yesterday that the
would be dynamited.
| Mayor Schriver in statement is-
sued today declares that all the trou-
bic has resulted from his fight on the
I lawless element and his determine
1 tion to clean UP the town, close the
saloons at night and on Sunday, and
put winerooms and chop suey joints
out of business Schriver declared
that his political opponents advised
the elements to whom he was opposed
to take matters into their own hands.
There is a sentiment of resentment
at the presence of the troops, among
| the saloon element, according to the
authorities, and it is this that causes
| the fear of further outbreaks.
With 600 members of the Sixth regi-
ment, Illinois National Guard patroll-
/! ing the streets all night, this riot-torn
community was quiet and orderly
early today All saloons have been
closed since late Tuesday night and
they will not be reopened until order
has been firmly re-established. Half
a dozen arrests were made during the
night by the soldiers All were for
refusal to obey the orders of the mill
tary to citizens to keep moving.

of the peace force but Adjutant Gen.
eral Dickson is advising him in all
matters.

line, an adjoining town, last night and
a military guard was provided but

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Not
since the stormy days of 1896 when
the democratic party was disrupted
by the gold democratic movement"
have politicians been so stirred as to-
day. Many leaders of the republican
organization, Roosevelt and anti
Roosevelt men, interpret Colonel
Roosevelt's statement in Chicago last
night that republicans are not bound
to respect nomination secured by
thuggery,' as meaning that II he him
self is not the nominee at Chicago, he
will head a third party movement.
This belief, they claimed, was borne
out by a remarkable statement issued
today by Clifford Pinchot, former chief
forester and one of the Roosevelt
field marshals. Answering the alle-
cation that Roosevelt violated the
bonds of friendship and proved un-
grateful by launching his candidacy in
opposition to Taft, Pinchot, with bitter
language, assails the president and as
serts that Roosevelt, not Taft, was the
friend that was betrayed
Roosevelt believed that Taft could
be trusted to stand firm for the peo-
lsple and SO he supported him for
nomination and election in 19OS,' said
Pinchot, but the record shows that
Roosevelt was mistaken. Taft could
not be trusted Therefore the people
have called upon Roosevelt to take UP
the burden of the presidency and SO
fair to the people for him to refuse
the call and let them suffer another
four years of special interest govern
ment under Taft
Pinchot's statement is intended to
deal with all of the points raised by
friends of the president, he says.
Pinchot comments on the action of
Roosevelt in making Taft governor of
the Philippines and secretary of war
and to having twice offered him ap-
pointments to the s:prcme court
bench He also says Roosevelt took
the Taft campaign when Sit was dying,
brought 1t to life and made 1t win
He then assails the president for
having failed to stop personal attacks
made on Roosevelt in congress and
condemns him for signing the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill framed by the
special interests"
| Pinchot attacks the president for
undertaking through Ballinger to de
stroy the conservation policies" for
"nullifying by executive action the
work of DR.. Wiley against the food and
drug poisoners,' and for having read
the progressives from the republican
party In conclusion he says. 'In
short, should Roosevelt be grateful to
Taft because he abandoned Roosevelt
and the Roosevelt policies and cast his
| lot with Aldrich and the machine in
Rhode Island Cannon and his machine
| in Illinois: Penrose and his machine
/ in Pennsylvania; Guggenheim and his

chine in Ohio; Herrin and the South
