TOLLS REEEiL PASSES
President Wins Fight in Lower House
BY Majority of SO.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April d
The house of representatives, after
one of the most spectacular legisla-
tive struggles in the history of the
nation, voted last Tuesday night to
repeal the provision of the Panama
canal act exempting American vessels
from the payment of tolls.
The vote on the repeal bill was
247 to 161, a majority of sc votes in
support of the personal plea of Presi-
dent Wilson.
This verdict on the issue, which
has absorbed congress for weeks
came at the close of stirring day,
made memorable in the annals of tho
house by party division which
found Speaker Champ Clark, Major
ity Leader Underwood and other De
mocratic chieftains lined up in ope:
opposition to the president on an is
sue which the latter had declared v
tai to his conduct of the nations for
egn policy.

HOPKINS II CAPTURED.
"True Love Bandit" Caught while
Sleeping-NOwi in Jail.

BELLINGHAM, April 3.-Charles
Hopkins, the true love bandit"
wanted for killing Antoine Olson and
wounding John Freeman, at McMur-
ray, Skagit county, Saturday night,
and for numbering man in Seattle
about two months ago and wounding
,nree persons at Everett last Thurs
day night, was arrested at / o'clock
Tuesday morning at Van Horn on the
upper Skagit river by Marshal Joseph
Glover of Concrete and a posse Of
citizens. Hopkins was asleep when
caught.
After his arrest Hopkins maintain
ed sullen, uncommunicative atti-
tude and declined to answer ques-
tions propounded to him. His eyes
were bloodshot, his clothing torn and
his general appearance gave evidence
of the long chase he has given the az
thorities of two counties during the
past week. Though captured, it was
evident that the outlaws spirit was
not broken.

CATTLE TESTED FREE
But There Must BE Is in a Group,
Explains Commissioner Graves.

Stating that it costs the state as
much to test 60 COWS for tuberculosis
as it does one COW, DR.. H. T. Graves,
head of the livestock division of the
state department of agriculture and
acting commissioner of the depart
ment, this week explained that, ow-
ing to this fact and the small appro-
priation made for the work, his de-
partment had been compelled to
adopt a rule that it cannot test less
than Is cows at one time.
These Is cows may compose one
herd or they may be owned by var
ious farmers and grouped at one pont
for an inspection. No charge is made
for such work by the department, but
the department does insist upon CO.
operation from the farmers, DR..
Graves said, and assurances from
them that they will handle their cows
in the manner prescribed by the de-
partment.
Where another state, such as Mon
tana for example, requires the in
spection of cattle before they can be
admitted from another state, veter-
mary surgeons in various places in
this state have been authorized by
the department to make such inspec-
tions, DR.. Graves said. and to charge
their regular fee for them. the de-
partment referring all requests for
such tests to these veterinarians as a
matter of accommodation to the far
mers. Inspections required by the
Washington law, however, are not
charged for and are handled directly
by the department..

RO0bERS OF ELNA
BANK STILL FREE
POSSES UNABLE TO LOCATE SEW.
EN BANDITS WHO STAGED
HDLD~CP.

Though all of the country between
Olympia, Shelton, Grays Harbor and
Centralia has tcen gone over thor
oughly by posses, the search for the
seven bandits who help up and rob-
bed the Bank OF Elma last Saturday
evening of S4,2SO, after having first
set fire to the school gymnasium, has
rot developed any results. A hand
llerchief dropped by one of the rob-
bers in the vault of the bank is the
only clue the authorities have, be-
sides the fairly accurate description
of the bandits given by those in the
bank at the time of the holdup.
Robbery Most Spectacular.
The robbery was the most spec
tacular that has been pulled off" in
this vicinity in recent years. Setting
the school gymnasium on fire to at
tract attention to that part of town,
seven unmasked yeggmen armed with
automatic revolvers help up the cash.
Ter and three patrons of the bank
about 7:45 last Saturday night, grab
bed about $4.2S0 in gold, silver and
currency, overlooked about $4,000
more stacked inthe cashiers cage,
and escaped after fussilade of shots.
e. l.. France, cashier of the bank,
was receiving a large deposit from
George Avery, secretary treasurer of
the Elma Light G. Power company,
when the bandits entered the bank.
Walter Neyers, leading grocer of Ell
ma: an Young, a sh'nrie manufac-
turer OF Oakville, near Elma, and A.
Fl. Flemming, bank bookkeeper, were
in the bank.
All Over in 5 Minutes.
The holdup was completed within
five minutes. On account of resis-
tance made by Cashier France, one
of the robbers fired twice at him, but
neither shot took effect. The loot
had been obtained almost before the
town realized that one of the boldest
bank robberies in the history of
Southwest Washington was being
staged.
The crowds rapidly left the burn
in school gymnasium and gathered
at the bank. Posses were formed at
once and under direction of Sheriff
Mathews, of Lewis county, and Mar
shal ]. L. Smith, of Elma, started in
pursuit.

FARMERS SERIOUSLY
CONSIDERING RECALL
COMMITTEE MAY INSTITUTE PRO
CEEDING3 AGAINST ONE OR
ALL OF COMMISSIONERS.

That the special committee of fif-
teen farmers which has been investi-
eating the conduct of the commits
sioners' Office is seriously considering
the Inauguration of movonent to
recall one or all of the commission
ers, is the statement made this week
by o. E. Ferguson, chairman of the
committee, after two recent meetings
of the committee.
What form the charges will take
and on what they will be based the
committee is not now able to say, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ferguson, due to the
fact that there are some legal points
involved upon which the committee
seeks further light and also because
the committee feels that it's investiga-
tion is not complete.
Continue Investigation.
The last massmeeting of farmers
authorized the committee to proceed
with its work as it thinks best and
this the committee is doing, under
the leadership of Mr.. Ferguson who
is determined to; see the matter
threshed out and settled. The COM
mittee has employed Attorney George
F.. Yantis as legal advisor and will
push it's investigation into other mat
ters than it has touched to date.
One outcome of the committees
work very likely will be the forma-
ton of a countrywide taxpayers lea
que whose object will be to give clos
er scrutiny to the conduct Of the
county's affairs than has been given
in the past. Such a league was talk
ed over at an informal meeting of the
committee with some local business
men this week and was unanimously
approved.

Club Saturday Noon.

Attorney Thomas M. Vance Of this
city will deliver an address on the
Panama canal tolls question at the
regular luncheon of the Thurston
County Democratic club at Doane's

ed that Mr.. Vance's talk. which will
support President Wilson's conten-
tion, will be the first in a sort of
debate on the issues involved, other
speeches to be made at following
meetings Of the club.
The idea Of the committee is to
have debate on the question. but ac-
cording to Harry l.. Parr, member
OF the executive committee. the club
has not yet been able to arrange for
a speaker to present an argument op-
posing the presidents contention. II
such a speaker can be found he will
address the club next week.

NEW DIRECTOR CHOSEN
A. H. Christopher Succeeds C. w.
Stentz on Local School Board.

A. H. Christopher, one of the prom
inent and conservative business men
of this city, who has four children
now attending the local schools, was
appointed a director of the Olympia
school district this week by County
Superintendent l.. A. Kibbe, to sue
ceed C. w. Stentz, who resigned be-
cause he said his business would re-
quire his absence from the city nearly
all of the time. The appointment
was recommended by the other direc-
tors, Fred w. Stocking and E. C.
Townsend.
E. C. Townsend was elected chair
man of the board and Fred w. Stock
ing secretary when it was organized
Monday, and c. E. Beach was reel
ected superintendent for two-year
term. The board also postponed un-
til Saturday, April IS, the special
playground election, when it will sub
nit two propositions, one to buy the
property outright for $4,000 and the
other to issue bonds to that amount,
payable at some future date.
The school levy will not have to be
raised Immediately to take care of
this expenditure, Mr.. Stocking says.
If the proposition to purchase out
right carries, the board will divert
5000 from it's sinking fund to buy
the property, or if the other carries,
the matter of s300 a year interest
can be handled he says, without any
increase In either case, the board
would only have to provide each
wear $500 more in its interest fund.

The following resolution, similar
to one adopted by the Stevens County
Pomona Grange and which it is pro-
posed to have acted upon by all of
the Oranges in the state, was adopted
at the. last meeting of the Thurston

Resolved, That we ask the repeal
OF the law providing for private citi-
zens and corporations taking out tax
certificates on which the tax has be-

CONTEST WILL END
IN JUST TWO WEEKS
ONLY A LITTLE MORE TINE BE-
FORE GREAT RACE CLOSES
EVERY MINUTE COUNTS

BY the time that you read this the
big contest will have only two more
weeks to run. April 18 the battle
of ballots will cease. On that date
the candidates will have to stand on
what they have done-there will be
no two ways about it. Many and
many a regret is going to be regis
tered by the candidates in this con-
test at the close, regrets by the can
didates who participated but wasted
their chances. They will have many
a heartache when they see how very
little effort Of their part would have
landed them in much better posi-
tion and have brought them more
valuable prizes.
Some Will Defeat Themselves.
The manager of this contest has
conducted hundreds and hundreds of
contests in all parts of the world. 1t
has been his experience that in every
contest there are candidates who
would have landed the first prizes if
they had put forth puny little more
effort. Always at the close these can
didates have to admit that they de-
feated themselves. A great many
people have an idea that it takes a
great many subscriptions to win the
big prizes, but our experience shows
that it takes about one-half what the
majority of people figure it will take
to win.
Candidates are urged not to over
look single chance to get votes from
now until the close of the contest.
Those who have worked their field
pretty well over will do well by going
into territory adjacent to them.
Some OF the candidates in the con-
test who are in the most fertile fields
have not done scarcely anything up
to the present. There are six or sew
EN- candidates in district No. 2 who
have obtained only from 20 to SO per
cent of the subscriptions that could
be secured in their territory. There
are two or three candidates who have
not done hardly anything in their
towns.
BOBBY Prize for Them.
To these candidates we want to
say get busy now or you will find
that you won the BOBBY prize. Each
and every candidate that has shown
any activity in the contest will secure
a fine prize. All of the prizes an
nOunced to date are worth the hav-
ing and working for. By the way, we
have three more prizes than candi-
dates in the contest, for strange as it
may sound, only 10 contestants have
sent in subscriptions to date.
Now is the time for you to cash
your promises. If any one promised
you subscription at the start of the
contest, see them now and get them
to give it to you.
Read the special offer over care
fully. Tell your friends about it and
show them how their help will ad-
vance you very much in the contest.
Try to get the clubs and get as many
of the five-yaar subscriptions as you
can. Try to make up at least one
club of three five-year subscriptions,
for remember you get $1,000 votes
for one of these clubs, and that is
quite a respectable total.
Three $15 Clubs Next Week.
The offer for next week is practi-
cally repetition of the offer of last
