An Expensive Officer.

II was sorry day for Kentucky
when she elected her present Secre-
tary of state. Because Of his failure
to do his plain duty the Court Of
Appeals holds that the people OF the
state ut the last election we're DOW.
rrless by their votes 10 initIat much-

whereby modern system Of taxa
ton could be- secured and: convicts
could be- put to work on the public
roads. Thus the labor of years goes
for naught, through the shortcom-
ing of one official, and these vital re-
forms are indefinitely postponed.
Indeed, they may be postponed for
ever unless we see to It that future
Secretaries of State shall not defeat
the popular will by sros. neg

Many Industries Affected
by Minimum Wage Lau

Olympia-Adoptio of $500 as the
minimum wage for women factory
workers, as recommended by the re.
cent factory conference, will necessi-
tate ultimate increase to the weekly
pay envelopes Of between so and 60 per
cent of the girl and women workers in
establishments operating the year
around, it is indicated by data collect
ed by the Industrial welfare commits
sion.
The factory minimum, as recon-
mended, is ST. 10 lower than the mini
mum of $40 established in this state
for mercantile employees. 1t appears,
however, that there is a difference
now of more than 81 per week in the
average wages of factory and mercan-
tile employees, and the $3.50 wage
comparatively speaking, will mean as
much to the factory girls as the sle
to the department store girls.
Reports on the wages OF 9ol gIS
over 18 and women employed IN fae
tories that operate the year arouna
compiled by the commission, show ths !.
$50, or 81 per cent, now receive sS'',
or less per week. Practically all
these, excepting such as are beglnnes
and would come under the apprenlNs
wage, would be entitled to the mA'
mum wage.

SILLIMAN SAFE
IN MEXICO CITY
American Consul Suffers Many
Indignities by Mexicans.
Trial and Condemnation As SPY
Had Been UnOMciaIly Re-
ported Offices Robbed.

Washington, D. ca complication
threatening difficulties to the media
ton conference at Niagara Falls was
partly removed Saturday when definite
word reached the State department
that Vice Consul Silliman, arrested at
Saltillo and long sought for, had ar
rived safely at Mexico City, accom-
panied by the British vice consul at
Saltillo, Mr.. Macmillan.
The news of Silliman's safety be-
came known at q moment when Secre-
tary Bryan was making public reports
received from refugees that Silliman
had been executed on May 18 by the
federals at Saltillo. Great relief was
expressed by the cabinet members.
Several of them said it removed one
of the most dangerous features in the
situation.
While Mr.. Silliman himself is safe,
there remain several grave features
connected with his arrest. Unofficial
reports have indicated that he was
placed under arrest while acting as a
United States consul, was imprisoned,
tried as spy and condemned to death.
Also it was reported that the United
States consulate was entered, the Off
cial archives being taken, including
the code of the State department.
The negotiations going on at Mag
ara Falls received the earnest atten-
ton of administration officials Satur-
day. Several exchanges occurred be-
tween the American delegates and the
officials here and the situation was
fully reviewed at the cabinet meeting,
after which further advices went for
ward to the American delegates.
Coincident with these exchanges,
there were frequent expressions of the
view in administration quarters that

Twenty Forest Fires Are

Bandits Get $4,000 From
Bank of SpangIe, Wash

Spokane bandits who locked
the cashier of the State Bank of Span
gle, WASH, in the bank vault and es-
capped with between $4,000 and $4,000
Wednesday were driven into the woods
along Hangman creek, four miles from
Waverly, Wash.
Posses under the leadership of sher-
ifs deputies obtained bloodhounds
from Moscow, Idaho, and put them on
the trail, but they were unable to catch
up with the robbers. A member of
one of the posses was O. w. Newton,
the cashier of the bank.
Newton was alone in the bank when
the three men entered just before
noon. They covered him with pistols
and forced him into the vault and
locked him in. The robbers then
locked the front door of the bank build
ing, gathered into a sack all of the
money in sight and walked out the
back door.
Before entering the bank the rob-
bers had arranged with ]. E. Beau
CHAN to drive them out into the coun-
try at noon on business trip" The
men, after the robbery, quietly walked
to Beaughan's garage and entered an
automobile In the meantime Newton
had succeeded in escaping from the
vault and the robbers saw him leave
the building.
Beaughan was forced to start his
machine and go out of Spangle under
full speed, with the bandits shooting
in all directions. No one was injured,
but windows in the buildings on the
main street were broken.
Newton gave an alarm and men
and boys, with all the firearms they
could get, took up the pursuit of the
robbers in automobiles. Four miles
from Waverly the robbers left Beau
ghan's automobile and took to the
woods. 1t was believed that they had
been surrounded in the timber, and
that their capture was certain, but
after an all-night patrol the woods
were searched and no trace of the men
could be found. It is believed they
followed the creek into Spokane or
escaped towards the mountains.

Citu of Lebam, Wash,
Almost DESTROYED by Fire

Lebam. Wash.-The heart of Lebam
is practically pile OF wreckage ana
debris. entirely wiped out, except Tor
few outlying homes and buildings, by
fierce fire at l o'clock THURSDAY
which. while it lasted, assumed the
proportions of a confagration. The
estimated loss is about $500, 600.
Single, planning and sawmills, rail-
road depot and warehouses, business
blocks, hotels, merchandise stores and
churches and many dwellings are IN
cluded in the desolation and waste.
Many of the 600 to 800 inhabitants
were left without homes, and worse
vet, without food, practically all man
ner of edibles having been consumed
in the rush of the flames. One Loaf
of bread was all that remained from
the destruction of the bakery. Food,
however, was rushed in from Raymond.
With strong wind blowing, with
no available water except that to be
pumped from wells, and everything as
dry as finder the flames made remark
able Roadway, rushing simultaneously
in many directions, once they had
gained an uncontrolled start in the
conveyor, in the fire room of the Case
& Brown company sawmill.
The fire communicated Immediately
from the sawmill to the single and
planning mills, jumped the tracks to
the Northern Pacific railroad yards,
licking up the depot as it ran, badly
scorching Northern Pacific train that
was passing, and then continued to
spread through the business and resi-
dence sections.
One building was dynamited in an
effort to check the flames, but proved
unavailing.
One hundred and fifty men are
thrown out of employment. The saw
mill had a capacity of 100, 900 feet,
the single mill of twice that amount
and the planning mill of 10000 feet.
Many automobile loads of freight
ers rushed here from Raymond to
assist, but could do little or nothing,
because of lack of water.
Lebam is city of 600 to 800 inhab-
itants, located on the Chehalis & South
Bend branch of the Northern Pacific
railroad, short distance from South
Bend. Telegraph and telephone com
munication was entirely cut off and
connection with the outside was had
| by automobiles.
The city experienced a serious fire
two years ago and the burned portion
had recently been reconstructed. The
fire Thursday swept this rebuilt por-
ton and again practically wiped it out.
