OLYMPIA, Jan. 12.-W. w
Conner, speaker of the house at
the notorious session two years
ago was invited to make speech
in the house yesterday, and this Is
what he had to say by way of en-
enlargement:
when l went home after the
last session / was told that / pre-
sided over the rottenest legisla-
ture the state of Washington ever
had.
"T HOPE YOU WILL GO US
ONE BETTER IN THE SAME
LINE OF ROTTENESS!"
And Conner is planning to run
for senator two years hence!
He didn't get hand.
Probably the most striking
feature of the present session
is the absence of the usual
railroad, booze and other
corrupt lobbyists.
While the organization machin-
cry in the house is working In
perfect order and the committees
have been crammed with the most
hide-bound reactionaries, the
awful grist of the vote on the sew
en- referendum measures has
thrown healthy scare into the
atmosphere.
The senate is generally conced-
ed to be the most progressive and
fair minded body--so far--the
state has seen for many years.

12.-Strange sights greeted
the eye I'm the shell-swept
area of this village and its
outIands at dawn today.
Men, women and children,
weirdly clad and dragging
outlandish bundles, strug-
gIed homeward through the
now intermittent shell fire
from the Canadian Car &
Foundry plant.
Some of the courage that gave
place to terror as they fled from
the whistling shells into the bitter
cold, dark night, had returned.
They had tasted of the expert
ences of citizens of shell-wrecked
town in the European war zones.
Over frosted hillside topped
by a graveyard a little procession
of men made their way in the
early light. They were the
mourners, who, when a big shell
whined past them as they stood
beside the coffin at the grave,
dropped their burden and fled.
Woman Carries Baby
Trudging down the Jersey City
road past fields dotted with spent
shells, went two young women
thinly and none too completely
clad. One had a babe in arms
the other staggered beneath 8
small mountain of bedding.
Where are YOU going?" they
were asked.
Away from here" the woman
with the babe spoke. She sale

Both had worked in the shell fac
tory and both had fled, panic
stricken by different routes.

pened there.
Inside, behind the bar, stood
jolly, rotund, Frank Briniski
laughing at what he called his
baby visitors'-three long shrap-
mel eases ranged nose up on the
bar.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. II. =
Harry X. Thaw will live, despite
his attempt to end his life by cut
ting his throat and wrists yester-
day, providing he did not swallow
any of the deadly poison tablets
discovered to be missing from a
bottle found in his pocket.
Physicians at st. Mary's hos
pita declared early today that
they were greatly concerned over
the possibility.
In the meantime every proven
tative to counteract the action of
the poison, If Thaw did take it,
is being employed.
Revives From StupOr.
Thaw had revived somewhat
this morning from the stupor in
which he fingered. Further eff
forts will be made by the police
to get statement from him some
time today.
The wounds that Thaw slashed
in his throat and wrists were not
deep enough to bring about death,
except by slow bleeding.
He Used his jugular vein by a
bare eighth Of an inch and the
main arteries of his wrists by the
same fraction.
