OYSTER BAY. N. r.. June 10.- Newspaper men here knew that a third ticket would be placed fin the field at Chicago before the conven- tions assembled this morning. The knowledge was based upon the ac- ceptance by Col. Roosevelt of the statements that the nomination Of Hughes on the third ballot of the Republican convention was inevit- able. The last word that came from Roosevelt was that unless the Repub- licans show a spirit of accommo- dation" the Progresslves will place a ticket in the field and support 1t for election.

CROSBY POLICE JUDGE.
Local Justice of Peace Qualities After
Superior Court Decision.

Justice of the Peace Walter Crosby
filed the required $1,000 bond with
City Clerk w. A. Hoage Wednesday
and qualified as Olympia's police
judge, as the result of a decision
given the fore part of this week by
Superior Judge d. F. Wright that
under the new municipal code Olym-
pia had been without a police judge
of legal standing since last June,
when the new code requiring police
judges in third class cities to be reg
ularly elected justices of the peace
went into effect.
The decision was given in the case
of a local Chinaman arrested on a
warrant sworn to before former Po-
lice Judge Milton Giles, charging him
with selling liquor to minors and
without license, the alleged offense
having occurred during Christmas
week. The Chinaman's attorney de-
INJURED to the charge, alleging that
Giles was not legally police Judge,
and the court upheld that point.
Justice Crosby was appointed by
Mayor Mottman at the adjourned
council meeting Tuesday night

COUNTY MAY PAVE PART
OF HIGHWAY TO LACEY
Commissioners Consider Expenditure
of $31 900 State Road
Funds.

Expenditure of some $4,000
Thurston county will receive from
the state this year under the rerma-
nent highway act in the construction
Of mile or a mile and a half Of con-
crete roadway on the Pacific highway
from the eastside city limits toward
Lacey, and the laying Of two addi-
tional miles of macadam ON the
Olympia-Tenino road north of Tenino,
b under consideration by the county
commissioners.
Whether anything will be done on
the Tenino road is undecided, but the
commissioners have adopted a reso-
luton directing County Engineer w.
H. Yeager to make survey and esti-
mate of cost on the proposed hard
surfacing of the Pacific highway east
Of Olympia. 1t is expected it will cost
about $500 a mile to construct a
2O-foot roadway laid of one-course
concrete, seven inches thick in the
center and five at the sides. If the
work is undertaken, the road will be
Strengthened where it passes Mt.
Tabor cemetery.
The commissioners are also con-
sidering the construction of a con-
crete roadway from the end of the
present paving on South Main street
around to the Log Cabin, believing
that part of the cost could be paid by
the creation of an assessment district,
providing two-thirds of the property
owners desired the improvement.

FIGHT OVER CITY
ENGINEER STILL ON
ALL OTHER OFFICERS APPOINT
ED BY MAYOR AND CON-
FIRMED BY COUNCIL.

Opposition to the re-appointment
of J. B. Weddell as city engineer,
started at the first meeting of the
new council last week, was carried
further at the adjourned meeting Of
the council Tuesday evening and is
still unsettled, Mayor Geo. A. Mott
man, though announcing all his
other appointments, having left the
city engineers Office still untitled.
Weddell has been city engineer
since Mottman was first elected may
or, having held the Office for three
terms. and the mayor proposed to
re-appoint him this year. Informa-
ton as to the opposition to Weddell
in the council reached the mayor
early last week and, in the absence
of Councilman Talcott this week, he
did not present the name of any ap-
pointee for that Office to the council.
In the meantime, however, at the
mayors direction, the city has dis
pensed with the services of its engi-
neering department for January and
February, and any appointment that
is made will not take effect, it is un-
derstOod. until March 1. Several
hundred dollars in salaries and ex-
penses are thus saved.
Councilmen Forstell, Maynard and
Draham are said to be opposed to
Weddell's re-appointment, the last
two named being the new Repub-
lican members of the council, while
Talcott, McClintic. Yauger and Ram
berg are said to stand with the
mayor, so that in the absence OF Tai
colt the council was equally divided.
Inasmuch as a majority Of the coun-
Gil are standing with the mayor, how
ever, it is expected that Weddelrs
appointment will be made and con-
firmed after Talcott's return.
No changes among the other ap-
pointive officers of the city were
made by the mayor, when he pre-
sented his appointments to the coun-
Gil Tuesday night. and all were
unanimously confirmed by the coun-
Gil. The mayor did make quite
few changes, however, in the stand
ing committees of the council. chief
of which was the removal of Council
man Forstell from the chairmanship
of the streets committee and the ap-
pointment of McClntic in his place.
The membership of the committees
as we'll as the list OF appointive Of
ficers is published under "City Legal
Notices" on page 6.

FIRST TRIAL N FRAUD
CASES STARTS MONDAY
Charges Involving Former Claim
Agent Gillies to BE Heard in
Local Court.

Trial Of J. F. Gillies, former chief
claim agent Of the industrial insur-
ance commission, on the charge Of
forgery in connection with the loot
ing of that fund, will be started in
the local superior court next Monday.
Some SO witnesses have been called
by the state.
Trial of the different charges
against Gillies, Frank Stone and
Gene Kearns, former local saloon
keeper. will occupy the attention of
the local court for the next few
weeks, and the state authorities ex-
pect that it will be the middle of
February before the cases are ended.
All of the cases against Gillies are
set for hearing prior to those in
which he is involved with Kearns
and Stone, but it is probable that the
state will seek re-assignment of the
trials to permit the trial of Stone
following the completion of the first
case against Gillies.
When arraigned the latter part of
last week on the grand larceny and
conspiracy charges, Gillies, Kearns
and Stone all entered pleas of not
guilty, as each has done in the indi-
vidual cases against him. The de-
PENDANTS will be represented by At
torney Thos. M. Vance.
One of the interesting sidelights Of
the week on the industrial insurance
frauds was the payment of $4,000 to
the state by the company which went
on Gillies' bond for that amount.
The company admitted liability and
made no effort to obstruct or evade
payment.

DOANES CAFE CLOSES
Olympia's Famous Restaurant Quits
After Nearly 40 Years
Operation.

Olympia's nous restaurant,
Doane's safe, known far and wide
throughout the Northwest, closed it's
doors Tuesday for the first time since
it was founded in 1879 by Captain w.
j. Doane, as the result of the sudden
departure the previous evening of a
couple of young people who had been
operating the place for George Miller,
the lessee.
Along with these young people, so
the story goes, also went some $50
napkins, and lot of cutlery, silver
ware, tablecloths, dishes, crockery
and other restaurant equipment.
They are presumed to have gone to
San Francisco. Miller says he will
not prosecute, but the situation is
being Investigated by Prosecuting At
torney Geo. F. Yantis.
Doane's restaurant probably would
have closed anyhow inside of another
month, or else moved to another To-
cation, for the building is to be torn
down to make room for the modern
concrete business block which James
Martin is to erect on the quarter
block at Fifth and Washington
streets.
