SEATTLE, Aug. 24.-Mrs
Francis G. Axtell of Bellingham,
former member OF the state legis-
lature, today resigned the chair
manship of the Washington State
Congressional union, because the
Woman's party has endorsed
Hughes.
Mrs. Axtell is progressive
and a candidate for congress
She declared in favor of Wilson
and made the following state
ment:
Neither party has declared
specifically in favor of the Susan

amendment depends on two.

fight to electing a suffrage con-
gresham. The national officials
have not supported us. They have
no understanding of western
conditions.
"Since supporting Hughes
means attempting to return all

PERM AN ENT

r. ID. Simpson was made per-

of M. G. Tebbetts & Co., in the
hearing before Judge yesterday
Thoursday.
Creditors of the Tebbetts COM
pany obtained temporary re-
ceivership several days ago, fol-
lowing a fire in Tebbetts store
building, which was said by the
fire marshal to be plainly incen-
diary.
A report that Tebbetts had
skipped, precipitated the request
for the receivership, which was
today made permanent. Tebbetts
returned to Tacoma and denied
that there was any truth in the
report that he was trying to dis
apear.
The liabilities of the company
were stated at the hearing today
to be $4,000, with assets of
$1,000. The company has four
stores in Tacoma and one in
Olympld.
The goods will probably all be
turned over to the store at 934
Pacific avenue, and a sale will
be held. II Is now thought likely
the Olympia store will be taken
over by the stockholders.
Tebbetts appeared at the hear
ing Thursday and expressed a
desire to do everything possible
for the benefit of creditors and
stockholders.
He expects to go to Seattle in
a day or two, where he says he
has employment, and will work
there until the time set for his
trial, In September, on charges
brought against him at the time
of the fire.
He said he would issue a state
ment before leaving.
