$4,000 FOR
RATE FIGHT
APPROVED!
(SpeciaI to The Times.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 24.-The house
appropriations committee, of
which Representative Davis of Ia
coma is chairman, today reported
favorably house bill 37S, appro-
priating $1,000 for the services of
an attorney to represent the state
in assuring the $3.50 preferen-
tial rate case victory before the
interstate commerce commission.
1t is on the calendar today.
Although the name of the at
torney who is to handle the case
is not mentioned in the bill, 1t is
agreed that Attorney Charles A.
Reynolds, who won the decision
for the northwest, is the one man
qualified to resist the attempt of
the railroads to set aside the de-
cision in a rehearing.
1t is understood that the lead
ers in the house and senate have
agreed to set aside their personal
and political hostility to Reynolds,
realizing that the rate victory
means bringing to the northwest
thousands of tourists of which il
has been robbed by unfair dis
elimination.

dancing, little Helen Louise,
daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth
Darst, accompanied PrOba-
ton Officer Healey across
the street from the court
house to the juvenile deten-
ton home Monday morning,

time promised to develop into
a full-sized mystery was re-
lieved.

made threats that she would take
the child out of the jurisdiction OF
