JOINER SPEAKS
TO REPUBLICANS
AT LINCOLN DAY BANQUET HE
ASSERTS FIRM sELiEF in
G. o. p.

Judge George A. Joiner, of Anacor-
tes, was one of the speakers at the
Young Mems Republican club banquet
in Bellingham on the night of Lin
coins birthday. The affair was with
out doubt the most significant repub-
lican gathering held in Whatcom
county in many a day and was at
tended by more than 800 men and
women, including galaxy of speakers
from Skagit, Snohomish and King
counties.
Judge Joiner reaffirmed his stead
fast belief in the party of the martyr
ed Lincoln and announced that he
was ready for service in whatever way
his party demanded and predicted ul-
innate success for the party. Judge
Joiner expressed himself as being a
progressive republican of the char
acter of Grant, Garfield and Harri-
son and follower of Mckinley, Roose-
welt and Taft.
In part he said:
Il am a progressive republican of
the kind that is now being represent
ed in the United States senate by
such men as Senator Cummins whom
I would be glad to see the next re-
publican candidate for the presidency
of the United States; Senator Robert
M. La Toilette and Senator Elihu
Root, Senator Borah and Senator
Bristol, and, by no means least, Sena-
tor Wesley l.. Jones, of the State of
Washington. Does it not seem that
all of the antagonistic elements of our
party should be brought together un-
der the leadership of such men? Are
they not progressive enough to meet
the. requirements of all who are only
interested in seeing the business in
terests of the country protected and
the invidual citizen enjoying the
highest degree of prosperity of which
he is capable? And at the same time
they are conservative enough to in

terest that degree of protection which
is necessary for them to enjoy that
there would be the first use of capital
/ in the development Of the latent re
sources and extending the business in
terests of the country.

UNDERTAkERS MAY
GET HARD HIT

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20.-Declaring that
many small estates are now being
sQuandered through exorbitant charges
for funeral expenses and legal fees.
the state tax commission has announc-
ed that it will ask the next legislature
to enact q law providing for the ap-
pointment of q public administrator in
each county The plan is to authorize
the superior court of each county to
make the appointment, the appointee
to be resident attorney, who would
receive commission to be fixed by
law for administering the estate. The
public administrator would take charge
of all estates where no heirs resided
within the state and to administer
other estates when heirs residing with
in the state made such request to the
court The fixing of statutory COM
mission would do away with the double
fee now necessary in probate cases.
A further provision of the proposed
statute would be that the public admin
istrator should be required to act in
conjunction with the tax commission
in collecting inheritance taxes from
estates that pass by deed in contem-
plationI of death. A large sum is lost
by the state each year in cases where
property is conveyed prior to death
for the purpose of avoiding probate.
The administrator, being on the
ground and familiar with the records,
could catch these conveyances and as
sist the commission in collecting the
tax.
One of the cases which the commits
sion found recently is an instance of
the need that exists for some remedy.
A man died leaving $4,000 in cash and
no debts but funeral expenses. The
undertaken was appo mted administra-
tor. After the expenses of administra-
ton and funeral expenses had been
met just $40 remained to be distribut-
ed to the heirs in the east. The COM
mission believes that large amounts Of
money would be saved to the heirs and
that thousands of dollars of escheats
to the common school fund, where no
heirs were found, would be ga;ued und-
er some such law as is proposed.

and soon disappeared from sight. The
ice was piled so high about the vessel
that it was feared she would be crush
ed under the pressure.
Supplies were taken over the ice to
the Potomac on Saturday and Boat
swain Wilkinson, her commander, was
prepared to remain on board as long
as there was any prospect Of saving
the craft. He reported at that time to
the navy department that the tug was
in great danger Of being crushed. Lat
er adverse weather conditions made It
imperative to abandon the ship.

started after Johnson, overtaking him
when about four miles from Shoshone.
He offered no resistance, as the sher-

any one was after him.
After spending the night in Sho-
