To Test Horticultural Code.

Hearings will be held by the coun-
ty commissioners on the afternoon OF
July 6 on the protests to the new
horticultural code filed with the
board this week by Attorney P. M.
Troy, representing Mrs. M. e. Kinney
and J. A. Windsor, in which they also
ask for $500 damages. The new code
gives the state authority to spray in
fected trees where the owners refuse
or neglect to do SO, and directs the
county to pay the bill and assess the
costs against the property. Sixty
three dollars worth of labor and ma
terial, together with the sheriff's and
auditors costs, were assessed against
the Kinney property and $14.15
against Windsor's holdings. Instead
Of benefiting the property, the land
has been damaged to the extent OF
$500, the protestants allege.

LISTER DECIDES NOT
TO RUN FOR SENATOR
IF GOVERNOR ENTERS THE NEXT
CAMPAIGN, 1T WILL BE TO
SEEK REELECTION.

The United States senatorship will
not be the goal to be sought by Gov
ernor Ernest Lister in next years
campaign, he has announced to inti-
mate political friends. He will either
be candidate for reelection or not
at all.
Since the entry Of Representative
w. e. Humphrey and Senator Miles
Poindexter into a bitter contest for
the Republican senatorial nomina-
tion, the promise Of a resultant split
In Republican ranks, whichever might
be nominated, has led to considerable
talk Of Governor Lister as q senate
rial candidate. One story which has
gone the rounds has been that the
Democratic ticket might be headed
by Lister for senator and former State
Senator David 8. Troy of Jefferson
county for governor.
Governor Listers decision has been
reached. however. to keep out Of the
senatorial fight. It is by no means
certain that he will be q candidate
for reelection. but II he seeks any
ONCE at all 1t will be the governor
ship. Significant statements made
by him in recent addresses lead to
the general belief. too. that. in case
he enters the gubernatorial campaign
he will make his fight on the dry"
side of the prohibition issue.
Democrats throughout the state
have urged the governor strongly to
stand for reelection, in the belief that
he could carry the state. while no
other Democrat might have the
chance. The state administration to
date has been thoroughly Lister ad-
ministration, these men urge, and no
one but Lister could carry through
the fight whcih he has started. Early
last winter, Lister was not figured as
q candidate to succeed himself, but
since that time there has been strong
pressure upon him to convince him
that he Is the strongest Democrat
that could be named and to get him
into the fight.
The failure thus far to develop a
strong candidate for the governorship
is regarded as reponsible for the gov
ernor's determination to eschew any
possible ambition for the senatorship
and to enter the gubernatorial fight II
he gets into the campaign at all.

WEISS SLAYER CAUGHT2
Young Miner Held in Tacoma May Be
Connected With Murder.


Arrested In Tacoma while attempt
ing to pawn a watch later identified
- having belonged to John Rainey,
who was murdered at Wilkeson last
Saturday night, Peter Parisch, 22-
year-old miner. may also be connected
with the murder of Fred Weiss. the
local tailor, three weeks ago. a. the
shoes Parisch wore when arrested
have been identified by . local cob
bier, Max Diesen, a. having been worn
by Weiss. whose shoes were missing
at the time the body was found. Par
isch's brother Roy ID also under ar
rest. Both are held by the Tacoma
police for Investigation" but reports
from Tacoma Thursday were to the
effect that both would likely be re-
leased az having had no connection
with the Wilkeson murder.
Sheriff Fred w. McCorkle went to
Tacoma Thursday to consult the city
and Pierce county officials about Par
isch's arrest and to question the pris-
oner. Upon being notified of the
young miners arrest, Chief Of Police
Hall went to Tacoma and brought
back the shoes Parisch wore and,
after investigation locally Wednesday
is convinced that they belonged to
Weiss. Diesen identified them as
shoes Weiss usually wore when he
made the trip over the trail from
Gate to Bordeaux.
The arrest of Parisch came when
the local authorities, with the assist
ance Of q Burns Detective Agency
man, had run down several clues and
been unable to develop any promising
trace of Weiss slayer. The reward
for the capture Of the murderer was
raised to $1,000 this week. when the
local lodge of Odd Fellows, of which
Weiss was member, posted $500 re-
ward, and the Foresters of America
added 800 more.

STEEL ORDERS SHOW
SH|PBU|LD|NG BOOM
FIRST REAL STEP TOWARD AN
AMERICAN MERCHANT MA.
RINE IS UNDER WAY.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Orders
with the leading steel companies for
steel plates from shipbuilding COM
panies are reported as more than
double the orders at any previous
period. The orders are chiefly from
shipyards in the United States
although a fair proportion is from
builders in Canada.
Inasmuch as all the steamships
turned out in American shipyards are
to fly the American nag, it II appar-
ent that the building Of q great Amer
lean merchant marine is at last under
way, the first real step In such 4
direction since the Civil War.
Acquisition previous to the war Of
the Fore River shipbuilding company
by the Bethlehem Steel company was
the first important move by the
larger interests Of the country in sew
eral years in the direction Of the up
building Of the American shipbuild-
ing industry. Admission now by ON
cials of the Cramp Ship 4 Engine
Building company that the latter con-
cern is negotiating for the turning
over Of its plant-the largest In the
country-to leading interests. is ac-
cepted by the steel trade a. further
indication that the shipbuilding in
dustry of America is to be placed on
q firm financial foundation, and is to
be 30 organized as to be placed in po-
sition to compete with the great ship
building enterprises of European ma
tions.
Shipbuilders here believe that the
scarcity of skilled workers in Europe
at the end of the war will be so great
that the shipyards Of the United
Kingdom and the continent will have
to pay much higher wages than ever
before to their men. So far as the
price of raw materials is concerned,
there is already presented the unpre-
cedented situation of the shipyards Of
England paying much higher prices
for their materials than the shipyards
of the United States. This is due to
higher costs of transportation, the
proclamation by Germany placing
iron on the contraband list and there
by shutting off great quantities Of
iron and steel from Sweden. and the
fact that steel plants throughout
England are so choked up with am
munition rush orders.
Predictions that more shipyards
would have to be built in this coun-
try to accommodate the growing de-
mand for tonnage are already seeing
fulfilment. Announcement by Ed
ward w. Hyde, former president of
the Bath Iron Works of Bath, Me-,
that he and his associates will estab-
lish a shipbuilding plant at Mobile,
Ala, to be ready in year, has been
made and similar announcements are
looked for shortly.
AS encouragement to ship owners
to have their ships under the Amer
lean flag, leading maritime associa-
tions are once again using their
efforts to effect legislation so that
when peace in Europe is restored
and competition among ship lines be-
comes keener, imports into the United
States in foreign bottoms must pay a
higher customs duty than goods that
come in American bottoms. Those
advancing such legislation maintain
1t would prove of much greater value
in promoting American shipbuilding
