EDMUNDSON WON
Carried on HOnOrs In Half Mile
Event at Vancouver.

''Hec" Edmundson returned this af-
teInoon from the coast where he ran
with the Seattle Athletic club in the
carnival track and field meet Thurs
day at Vancouver Edmundson en-
tered both the quarter and the half
mile events, winning the latter in 2:03.
This event was incorrectly reported
and several newspapers gave P. Clyde
first place. The time in the half
would appear unusually slow but is
easily explained in view of the strong
wind that the runners had to face for
a distance of three or four hundred
yards. The quarter mile run went to
Jack Nelson with Edmundson second.
This event followed Immediately af
ter the half mile and found Edmund
son in poor condition to enter. On ac-
count of the wind the quarter also was
made in slow time, dropping to "a
seconds.

WARRANT PROCEEDINGS.

Enemies Close Friends Declare

ley investigating committee to insti-
tute impeachment proceedings when 1t
finishes the probe. Frawley says the
committee has sufficient evidence
which has been introduced on which
to base the proceedings.

nearly $4,000 as a result of stock
market speculations at the time of
his nomination and used some of the
campaign funds contributed to make
additional purchases OF stock while
this debt was hanging over him.
According to testimony in the Fraw-
ley probe, Sulzer was doing business
with three different stock brokers and
was saved from being sold out by
one L. NJ. Josephthal, a banker, and
a member of the governors staff. De-
tailed information concerning the
governors transaction were disclosed
before the committee and Chairman
Frawley declares the evidence is suf-
ficient to warrant impeachment pro-
ceedings.
Governor Sulzer has remained nom
committal except to assert that the
whole investigation is a plot to ruin
him by his political enemies. Gov
ernor Sulzer is on the outs with
Charles Murphy, the Tammany chief.

GIRLS IN WHITE SLAVE CASE WILL NOT Go

WILL TELL STORY OF FLIGHT
Prosecution Has Yet Been Unable to Prove Passage
OF Quartette Into Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 9-Acting
on the theory that counter testimony
loses its shattering force against evil
dence that is fresh in the minds of
the jurymen, the prosecution In the
trial of Maury Diggs on white slav-
cry charge that is being heard in
Judge Van Fleets court, has with
held Martha Warrington and Lolo
Norris from the witness stand until
near the conclusion of the prosecu-
tion's case.
The case will be resumed Tuesday.
According to Prosecutor Roche the
two girls will probably be called Tues
day afternoon to tell the story of the
flight of the four from Sacramento to
Reno and of their life for several
days in cabin where they lived as
husbands and wives before they were
located and arrested.

TENNIS TOURNEY OFF
East Side and West Side Enthusiasts
Fail to Agree on
Date.

The excitement which was so wide-
spread last week over the proposed
east and west side tennis tournament
seems to have been only an idle dream
of few enthusiastic fans whose num-
ber was far too small to complete the
entry lists and materialize the contest.
The west side is accusing the east sid
ers of getting cold feet and in turn the
racqueters on the east side declare
that the tournament fell through be-
cause the west siders failed to enter

Hotel Clerk Testified.

In testimony last evening a hotel
clerk from Reno testified that he saw
both the defendants register under
assumed names at his house with two
women as their wives. A grocery de-
liveryman testified that he had deliv-
cred orders given by Diggs, to the
bungaloo which the party occupied.
The prosecution claims to have more
evidence of similar character. Judge
Van Fleet indicated to the prosecu-
ton that it must show how the party
got their tickets and how they got to
Reno. Thus far the prosecution has
been unable to show this clearly and
on this evidence will depend the sue
cess of the prosecution in supporting
the white slave charge. Judge Van
Fleet stated that the character of the
girls was not at issue in this case.

War talk Is prevalent and Whlle the
administration is apparently not SEEK
ing to entangle the government into
a costly war with Mexico, prepara-
tions now in progress in the army and
navy Indicate a purpose to be prepar-
ed for any emergency. Insults from
Huerta or his friends to the United
States or any or It's citizens will meet
with prompt action by the govern
ment.
The delay in the arrival OF Lind In
Mexico has been caused by the admin
lstratiOn in an effort to allow Huerta
an opportunity Of recovering from the
first blush OF patriotic pride which
prompted him to show belligerant at
tftnde toward the United States.
MAY BE BREAK SUNDAY.
The possibility Of break one way
or another in the Mexican situation
seems likely to occur during tomorrow
at the latest and while there appears
no likelihood that the United States
will resort to armed Intervention in
Mexico, the situation this evening is
delicate and the administration Is
bending every effort to escape from
very uncomfortable position.
The outbreak in the senate chamber
this morning has resulted in decision
to hold a conference tonight. The
president and Secretary Bryan Will
disclose to the full senate committee
on foreign relations the reason OF
Lind's mission to Mexico.
