Public Service Board to Require No.

An important move for the con-
venience and protection of the traV-
cling public has been taken by the

commission has initiated an actioh
against the railroads looking to the
formation of a rule which will pre-
vent the changing of timetables WIN
ont 10 days notice posted in all STA

The almost universal practice OF
railroads is to place the following

Railroads are given 20 days to oo-
loot 70 the commission forming the

JONES TO BE ONLY SPEAKER.
Park Board and Trades Council Bar
Others at Labor Day Exercises.

Chairman Frank G. Blakeslee of
the city park board and President
Joe Forstell of the Olympia Trades
Council joined in issuing instructions
this week forbidding any one other
than United States Senator Wesley
l.. Jones and Jay G. Brown, who had
been especially invited for the day,
to deliver an address at Priest Point
park Labor Day.
The action came when local union
men, after having invited Senator
Jones to be the principal speaker at
the Labor Day celebration, noticed
that Glen Hoover, the Socialist
orator, was also billed for speech
at the park the same afternoon. They
called it "impudence" and decided to
take what steps they could to pre-
vent the Socialist from speaking.

APPEALS INDIANS CASE
Attorney Steele to Carry Suit to Test
Treaty to Supreme Court.

At the request of Attorney E. N.
Steele, representing the Indians, JUS
tice of the Peace Walter Crosby has
given decision finding Jack James
and Joe Peters, two Indians recently
convicted of hunting deer out of sea-
son, each $25 and costs, and Attorney
Steel Immediately gave notice of APP
peal to the superior court.
Involved in the case is the Indians
claim that the treaty signed with
them by the first territorial COVER
nor, Isaac l. Stevens, gave them the
right to fish and hunt the year round
if they desired, regardless of state
laws. The issue has been raised at
various times but has never been
settled, and it was with the intention
of carrying the case to the state SUI
preme court that Attorney Steele
asked the justice to convict his
clients, so an appeal could be taken.
He also represents several Gray's
Harbor Indians arrested for viola
lions of the state fishing laws, and
the two cases will be carried up at
the same time.
Incidentally, when looking up the
penalty in the deer-hunting statute,
the Justice discovered that the penal
ty clause had been omitted from the
new game code passed by the last
legislature and had to fall back on
an earlier statute. The omission is
said to have been due to clerical
error.

lEGHAUS SAYS HI GILL
WRONGLY ACCUSED HIM
Governors Secretary Asserts He
DIDN'T Butt Into" Seattle's
Affairs.

Asserting that statements attrib-
uted to Mayor Hi Gill of Seattle ac-
cusing him OF Quitting into" the con-
troversy among officials of that city
over the alleged existence Of gambling
there, were unwarranted. Irwin w.
Zieghaus, secretary to the governor
has made public the correspondence
involved, showing that he merely
transmitted to Prosecutor Lundin of
King county an anonymous letter re-
ceived by the governors office con-
corning gambling in Seattle.
Il would be a fool to undertake to
tell Seattle officials how to run their
business" Zieghaus says. The only
thing | did was to send an anonymous
letter received at the governors Of
fee, stating that gambling was going
on in Seattle, to the prosecuting at
torney, thinking it might contain
some information he would care to
have"
Mayor Hi Gill, when Lundin told
of receiving these letters, made the
statement that if the governor would
throw a stone from one of his Office
windows he would hit one of the big
gest gambling joints in the state.
Zieghaus came back by saying he felt
sure the local authorities would
take the necessary action" if such
a condition exists.
Common report has it that when
Hi Gill visited Olympia during the
last session he dropped" several
hundred dollars at session" here
one night in local hotel.

TAX BOARD WINS $4,000
FOR STATE IN TWO SUITS
Defeats Alleged Heirs to Estates,
Which Are ESQ heated to the
Commonwealth.

The state tax commission has won
two important victories in the su-
preme court in the matter of estates
which the commission believed should
hard fights We're put up by alleged
heirs.
In the estate of Theodore Miller of
Spokane. who died in California in
1911, leaving $1,000 cash in the
bank, sets of supposed heirs from Eu-
ropean countries and all parts of the
United States laid claim to the money.
The tax commission secured the es-
cheat of the estate before Superior
Judge Sullivan of Spokane, being OPP
posed by about 20 lawyers, represent
ing the alleged heirs. Three sets of
heirs, from Kentucky, New York and
Idaho, appealed to the supreme court,
which affirmed Judge Sullivan.
In Ferry county it was attempted
to probate defective written will of
C. T. Warren, leaving $1,000 estate
to persons who were not of his blood.
When the court refused to accept this
will it was attempted to probate
nuncupative will, incorporating a
dying statement of Warren leaving
the property to the same persons. The
lower court upheld the tax commits
sion's contention for an escheat of
the estate, and this is affirmed by the
supreme court

persuade to make this change, as she

miles of it, much less the big city of
Philadelphia, nor had she ever been on
the train in all the seventy years Of her
