A special dispatch to The
Times from Washington, ID.
G., Thursday stated that the
interstate commerce commits
sion had entered an order
pOstpOning the date for the
$3.50 tourist rate differen-
tial to be eliminated from
Feb. is to April 2.
At that time hearing will be
held to decide two points; namely,
whether the tourist rate case may
be reopened in any manner, and
whether the Southern Pacific
shall be included in the order.
The railroad contends that it
ought not be included.
The postponing of the date for
the new rates, which would put
the Pacific Northwest on an
equality with California as re-
CARDS tourist travel, was done
without the Pacific Northwest's
interests being represented in any
manner, and purely on the rail-
roads request.
1t simply emphasizes the need
of having Attorney c. A. Rey-
nolds, who handled the original
rate fight, steadily on the job.
IL emphasizes also the fact
that IL the Northwest expects
to retain the fruits of its
present victory, ii must he
prepared to fight for them.
With the dispatch from Wash
ington came an Olympia telegram
saying that the legislature,sssat-
titude had been misunderstood.
There is no present intention
among the legislators, 1t was said
for appropriating 10000 for Rey-
noltis to carry on thessass-sigaAt~.
Instead, Attorney General Tan
ner has promised to finance Rey-
nolds' actual expenses out of his
Offices funds, but has made nc
provision for paying him a sal
airy.

sickish fumes filled the little room
and crept around the quiet figure
on the bed.
1t licked loudly in the silence
that followed-silence that pres
emily was no longer broken even
by the girl lodger's breathing.
All through the long hours of
the night and all the lonely day
and all the next night it licked
steadily away.

Funeral services for the unfor-
tunate young woman were held
privately Thursday afternoon in
the Buckley-King chapel. A SIM
pie prayer and a hymn from the
chapel organ furnished the entire
solemnity of the occasion.
Miss Cordelia M. Ward of Yes
Ter, near Seattle, a sister and only
relative of Miss Alive v. Ward the
suicide, asked that the services
be held as quickly as possible and
simply.
"There is no love affair con-
nected with her death-of that |
am sure" said Miss Ward.
"Alice was 20 years old, and
had little to do with men. Over
work with music-she sang as
we'll as played beautifully on the
piano-together with her daily
work to earn a living, caused a
breakdown, l think.
Alice lived with me until last
June. She was studying stenog-
raphy then, and piano and vocal.
She went to Portland and work
ed as a waitress, while she con-
tinued her study. | did not know
she was in Tacoma. Her last let
ter came from Portland, and she
was not feeling we'll then. l
think that she simply became de-
spondent because she was ill and
because she couldn't give more
time to her music"
Miss Wards mother is in Ne
braska. Her sister, who was &C
companied from Yesler Thursday
by Mrs. N. S. Soper, is her only
relative in the west.

Omitted Press Leased Wireo
NEW YORK, Jan. 49,
George w. Perkins, leader of
the progressive-republican re-
volt against the executive conf
mittee of the national re-
publican committee, started
lining up prOgressives all
over the country tOtaS in u
finish fight on the national
committee.
He announced that he had
conferred with Col. Roosevelt.
Raymond Robins, Illinois pro.
pressive leader, who supported
Hughes during the last campaign
also announced afterward his full
and hearty approval of the protest
started by Perkins and Everett
Colby of New Jersey and their de-
mand for an immediate meeting OF
the republican committee to undo
the work done by the executive
committee.
Perkins announced receipt of
the following telegram from SEN
ator-elect Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia:
"With your efforts to make
the republican party progress. Z.
sive, 1 am i'm full sympathy
and hearty accord. Go to it
and all progressives will be
with yOu."
Regarding claims of executive
committee members as to the pro-
gressivism of Vice Chairman
Adams of Iowa, whom they chose
for this post, Perkins had sheaf
of kilograms from Iowans.
George G. Wight, who was pro-
gressive candidate for governor in
1912, telegraphed from Nevada,
Iowa:
"You are right. We should call
a meeting of the national commit
tee. Men like Adams cannot lead
the progressive party"
No reply has been received by
Perkins as to his charges that an
inner ring of republicans was at
tempting to bottle up the party,
and that certain national commit
teemen, including S. A. Perkins of
Washington, had lost their states
to Hughes at the last election
through stupidity.
