SUES ON TIMBER CONTRACT.
Modern Mill Company Brings Action
Against Black Lake Firm.

Hearing will be had in the local
superior court the latter part of this
week on the suit filed Tuesday by the
Modern Mill company, OF which A.
J. Gaisel of Gate is secretary, against
the Black Lake Mill company, for an
order restraining it from selling GER
tain timber in the Black Lake dis
trict.
The action was brought through
Attorneys Troy G. Sturdevant and is
based on a contract the Modern Mill
company claims to have with the
other firm. which it alleges gives it
prior right to the timber. The Mod
ern Mill company operated the mill
at Black Lake which was burned
down last fall and is the company
which was organized to run a mill at
that place when the mill operated by
the Black Lake company was de-
stroyed by fire two years ago.

CARRANzA ACCEDES
T0W|LS0N'S DEMANDS
DANGER OF IMMEDIATE BREAK
AVERTED BY RELEASE OF
AMERICANS.

All danger of an immediate break
between the United States and the de
facto government of Mexico was
averted late Wednesday by Carran-
za's compliance with President Will
sons demand for the release Of the
% troopers captured in the fight at
Carrizal last week. The men were
released from Chihuahua peniten-
tiary Wednesday afternoon and ar
rived in Juarez Thursday, where they
were taken in charge by an American
officer and transferred to Fort Bliss.
Official Washington does not yet at
tempt to say whether state of war
has been prevented or merely post
poned, for official information as to
the attitude of Gen. Carranza is lack
ing. Until his response to Secretary
Lansing's note dispatched Sunday,
making two peremptory and distinct
demands. is received there will be no
decision on whether President Wilson
shall lay the crisis before congress.
The release of the prisoners, however,
brought undisguised relief to high
officials.
While It is generally conceded that
this move lessons the tension and
makes the crisis less imminent, no
one conversant with the grave prob
lem Is losing sight Of the fact that the
all-important question of Carranza's
attitude toward the American expedi-
tion across the border to protect the
territory and citizens of the United
States from bandit outrages remains
unsettled. II the de facto govern
ment stands upon the orders to Gen.

LISTER WILL TALK
when TIME COMES"
THIS Is ONLY ANSWER no THE
CHARGES MADE BY JUDGE
BLACK AND DIR. CASS.

No public reference has yet been
made by Governor Ernest Lister to
the charges directed at him in
lengthy letters from Judge w. w.
Black Of Everett and DR.. w. e. Cass
of Vancouver. published the fore part
Of this week, but the intimation has
gone out from administration circles
that the governor will make q COM
plete statement when the time
comes"
The principal charge raised in
Judge Blacks letter, which was given
the greater prominence, was that
Governor Lister had compelled his
appointees to pay an alleged private
note for $4,000 and that he is also
assessing them 33 1-3 per cent of
their salaries for his primary cam
paign expenses. The intimation from
administration circles is that when
the governor gets through with tell
ing his side of the situation, he will
have advanced a big campaign argu-
ment in his favor.
Black May Be Candidate.
Judge Blacks letter indicates very
strongly that he will become a candi-
date for the nomination against Gov
ernor Lister. while DR.. Cass is
already an avowed aspirant for the
place. Judge Black received the
Democratic nomination in 1912, but
was ruled out by the state supreme
court because he was then q Judge
of the Snohomish county superior
court.
He refers to this in his letter in
the statement, II feel that he (Lis-
teri ID serving my nrst term. may
want to serve my second term my

ton for United States senator. but

ator Jones in the general election.
DR.. w. e. Cass 10 = we'll known
Democrat Of Southwest Warrington.
Shortly after Lister became governor.
Cass was appointed superintendent Of
the Northern hospital at sedro-Wool-
ley, but was soon discharged and, ad-
ministration oficials say, from that
time since has sworn vengeance on
Lister.
An Newspapers Get LetteFs
The letters Of Judge Back and DR..
Cass were mailed out from Vancou.
yer late last week to all newspapers
Of the state. those for Olympia reach
ing here Sunday, but were not re-
leased for publication until Tuesday
morning. The epistle Of Judge Black
is q scathing indictment Of discrep-
ancies he alleges have been commit
ted by Governor Lister during his
tenure of ONCE, an indictment DR..
Cass endorses and embellishes by
charging the governor with being re-
sponsible for increased taxation and
with other official offenses.
Both letters accuse the governor
of attempting to build up personal
political machine at the expense OF
the Democratic party.

No PRESIDENTIAL PRiTARY
National Chairman Tells Evans That
Delegates Can Re Elected i'll
the Old Way,
The State.

The State.
Spartanburg. Jan. 1S.-Former Gov
ernor John Gary Evans, chairman OF
the State Democratic executive com
mittee, today gave out the following
letter from William F McCombs, chair
nan of the Democratic national COM
mittee:
Your letter Of the Sth inst. was
received during my absence in the
South, whence I nave just returned.
ON my opinion, it lies distinctly
with the various state organizations,
where no legalized primary exists, to
select their delegates and members OF
the national committee, in the manner
and form their best judgment indi-
Gates. The question is one peculiarly
one for the national committee and
.he convention and of course l do not
wish to foresnadow any action they
might take. 1t strikes me as being
the mere logic of the question.
''If the primary in state situated as
yours ii. e. not having state primary
laws does no thold primary for the
selection of delegates, my judgment
is that delegates selected in the GUS
tomary way should be seated in the
national convention.
THE main question raised in all
cases mas been the great expense in
vowed in setting up statutory machln-
cry. In no instance has the question
of party contest arisen, but merely OF
economy and expediency.
Sincerely yours,
William F. MCombs."
THE letter will explain itself" said
Governor Evans. There will be no
primary in South Carolina for the cleo
ton of delegates to the national Demo-
cratic convention, but this State will
proceed in the old way of electing
them in state convention held in May
in Columbia"
Governor Evans, as chairman of the
state executive committee, had written
Mr.. McCombs, asking for his views on
the subject and calling attention to
the great expense that would be in
volyed should the delegates have to
be elected in primaries.
