MAY GET CHEESE FACTORY.
Reardan Commercial Club Appoints
Committee to See Farmers.

REARDAN-At a recent meeting Of
the Reardan Commercial club the
question Of establishing a cheese fac.
tory here was one of the more i'm.
portant that were discussed, and in
order to ascertain the probable en-.
couragement that would be given such
an enterprise committee composed
of J. III. Kelso, G. H. Finrow and H.
J. Mates was appointed to interrogate
the farmers within certain radius,
and they have issued circulars for
replies on which they expect to base
their report at the meeting to be held
next Thursday night.
It is not the intention of the COM
mercial club to establish the cheese
factory as money-making venture
SO much as for the opportunities that
will be afforded in improving the farm
lands of this vicinity. No one ques-
lions that the factory can be made to
pay from the start, since that at Cres-
cent can not supply the demand for
it's product. The committee has esti-
mated that a factory will cost about
$500, and the milk from 800 cows will
be required to keep the factory in
operation.

INSURANCE MEN AT N. YAKIMA.
Fire Losses There Have Been Heavy
inspection Ordered.


North Yakima.-To make a minute
survey of the business district of
North Yakima of conditions which
might in any way increase the fire
hazard, four men from the Washington
insurance survey and rating bureau
began four weeks work here. They
include M. E. Cheney and two others
from Seattle and one from Spokane.
The work has been ordered by Lee
Mckenzie, chief of the rating bureau,
because of the high loss ratio in North
Yakima. In five years up to and in
Guiding the $4,000 fire in the Miller
building January 8, 1912, the fire
losses were 62.5 per cent of premiums
paid, making an actual loss to COM
panies doing business here, as they
figure 40 per cent of premiums for Op-
Grafton. Since that time there have
been three fires with losses of $4,000
and $4,000.
Last fall Mr.. Cheney and H. E. Pat
ton, of the rating bureau, went over
electrical installations of all sorts in
the business district and found but one
building in which they did not sug-
gest some improvement. In the Yak
ina theater the improvements cost
$4,000.
The inspection this spring will in
clude heating installation, disposition
of rubbish, methods of storing stock
and every element that might enter
the list of the fire causes.

FRENCH CABINET IS
FORCED TO RESIGN

PARIS.-In spite of the eloquent ar
guments of the French Premier, Aris-
tide BRAND, embodied in what is pro-
nounced the finest speech of his ca
reer, the senate overthrow the govern
ment on the question of proportional
representation.
After the senate, by vote of 161 to
1913, had adopted the amendment in
troduced by Senator Paul L. Feytral, a
Republican-Liberal, which proposed
that the majority should receive the
whole of the representation, the min
listers Immediately withdrew and held
a brief consultation. They then pro-
ceeded to the Elysee palace and hand
ed their designations to President
Poincare. The President accepted the
designations, but requested the minis
tiers to continue to transact business
until their SUCCESSORS had been found.
A cabinet crisis in the present situa-
ton in Europe is considered bad
enough, but it is pointed out that the
crisis precipitated by the senate is
graver still, for it is crisis not of
the ministry only, but of the French
parliamentary regime, and it is added
that any ministry failing to place pro
portional representation at the head of
the programme Immediately would be
turned out by the chamber.
The only solution seemingly open Is
for President Poincare to dissolve the
chamber, but as an election would be
made on the question of proportional
representation, the new chamber
would be just as much at odds with
the senate as ever.

The outrage on suffragists in Wash

arguments of the suffrage supporters.
mot one man who struck a woman in
that parade, not one man who spoke

Shaw's remarks. She declared that all
the suffragists ask is the right to
share in the vote of the country.
While Mrs. A. j. George was speak
ing against the resolution there was
laughter from the suffragists when she
declared that woman's place is in the
home. Turning to the committee she
said:
Sisters, nearly 80 times when l
have used the words home and WON
an in meetings like this the suffra-
gists have laughed"
She declared that she formerly had
believed in suffrage but had changed
her views when she saw how 'suf-
fragists feel who speak of the home"

denly at the King and fired one shot
from a seven-chambered revolver. The
tragedy caused intense excitement.
Schinas was seized Immediately and
OverpOwered.
The wounded King was lifted into a
carriage, which was hurried to the
hospital. He was still breathing when
placed in the carriage, but died before
reaching the hospital.
Prince Nicholas, the Kings third
son, and other officers hurried to the
hospital. On his arrival Prince Nicho-
las summoned the officers and, speak
ing in a voice choked with sobs, said {:
eft is my deep grief to have to an
nounce to you the death of your be-
loved King and to invite you to swear
fidelity to your new sovereign, King
Constantine"
Crown Prince Constantine, who sue
ceeds King George, at present is at
Janina.
The assassin of the King, on being
arrested, refused to explain his motive
for the crime. He declared that his
name was Aleka Shinas and, in reply
to an officer, who asked him whether
he had no pity for his country, an
nounced that he was against govern
ment.
Shinas maintained perfectly impas-
sive demeanor.
Precautions were taken at once
throughout the city and perfect order
is being maintained.
The King fell into the arms of his
aide when shot. Two soldiers ran
upon hearing the firing, and helped to
support him. He was placed in car
riage and efforts were made to stop
the bleeding, but he breathed his last
on the way to the hospital nearby.

office at the request of President Will
son, until the president could give fur
Their time to the selection of a sue
cessor, and also to oblige Secretary
Bryan, who desired to attend the cele-

Neb., resigned suddenly when con-
fronted with the duty of promulgating

The resignation was accepted in a

CURRENCY BILL TO COME UP.
President Decides Measure viii Have
Consideration This Session.

WASHINGTON.-E by the
rapid progress already made In the
preparation of a tariff revision bill,
close friends of President Wilson pre-
dict that currency reform measures
would be brought before the extra ses-
sion of congress.
The President talked Informally
with some of his callers about the
prospects for currency legislation.
They went away convinced that
while the president would devote him.
self first and foremost to tariff rev1-
sion, he now hoped that at least a
start on monetary reform, if not actual
legislation, would be possible in the
extra session.
From the first, the president has be-
lieved in the necessity for immediate
currency reform, and though DESTROYS
that congress should focus it's atten-
ton and that of the nation on the tar
iff question, he never has given up the
idea of getting a currency measure
before the country within a few
months. Some of his friends said that
they were particularly hopeful for cur
rency reform because of the attitude
of the Democratic leaders in congress
toward expeditions action on the tar
iff.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, is reported to have
said that the tariff could be disposed
of within three months. Like the tar
iff the currency bill when drawn will
be presented as party measure, care
fully worked out by congressional COM
mites in cooperation with the presi-
dent. 1t will not be made public, it is
said, until it has been studied closely
by members of the cabinet, recognized
authorities on currency questions, and
some of the leading business men of
the country in whose judgment the adj
ministration has confidence.
The president intends to stay in
Washington throughout the extra ses-
sion, giving every attention to legisla-
tive questions. He has every day de-
clined invitations to make speeches
outside of the city.
The cabinet will meet Immediately,
when the question of recess appoint
ments will be discussed. The resigna-
ton of Huntington Wilson as assist
ant secretary of state leaves the state
department under charge of Alva
Adee, second assistant secretary of
state. 1t is probable, however, that
there will be recess appointment of
John BaSSette Moore as counsellor of
the state department., so that he can
cooperate with Mr.. Adee in running
the department. The president tele-
graphed Secretary Bryan that he need
not cut short his vacation on account
of Huntington Wilson's withdrawal.

DR.. ELIOT FOR GREAT BRITAIN.
President of Harvard Chosen to Repre-
sent United States.

President of Harvard Chosen to Repre-
sent United States.
WASHINGTON.-D Charles Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard Uni
versity, has been decided upon by
President Wilson for ambassador to
Great Britain. Close friends of the
president telegraphed DR.. Eliot, con-
graduating him and urging him to &C
cept.
George w. Guthrie, Democratic state
chairman of Pennsylvania and ex-
mayor of Pittsburg, has been selected
to be ambassador to Mexico. This in
formation came from intimate friends
OF President Wilson. From the same
sources it was learned that Justice
James w. Gerard, of New York, was
likely choice for ambassador to Italy
and that William Church Osborn, of
New York, Augustus Thomas, the play
wright, and possibly Thomas Nelson
Page, of Virginia, would be ambassa-
doris to European courts.
No one has been decided upon for
ambassador to Japan.
